Chapter 2.2 [Job Hunting]

"Of course, here have another bowl. It's on the house." Shen Rui finished two bowls of noodles and he felt refreshed. He hadn't eaten breakfast when he went out earlier so he managed to finish it all up.

"Thanks boss, I'll come again later."

Mama Shen nearly dropped the phone when he heard his son ate a ramen stall without any permit. She knew how fragile her youngest son is.

"Just keep on following him. Don't bother with the watch, if he gave it to him then let it be." Mama Shen won't care if his son gave away the diamond watch. Shen Rui might have wanted to throw it away so he gave it to the Ramen owner, there was no need to over react.

"Mr. Fang, here's the documents you need to sign." His secretary bowed and placed the files on his documents.

Fang Yan's mood haven't been good since a few days ago. He hadn't saw the little prince since he went on a business trip and now the teenager is actively dodging him like a plague.

The Secretary Nan can only wish her boss would soon be in a good mood. Everyone in the company had been on the edge.

"Mr. Fang you have a meeting in five minutes with the F Company." Secretary Nan kindly reminded.

The young man felt his head ache but gestured towards his secretary to let the man in.

"Good day Mr. Fang! Today I would very pleased to talk about business so I brought a little gift." The man brought a woman beside him.

The woman's body is curvaceous and attractive, while her face look gentle and sweet but it can only invoke disgust from Fang Yan. The man is trying to do pillow sales with him and he can only feel annoyed.

The perfume in her body is so strong he can smell it even though they are a distant away. This further accelerate his anger and annoyance.

"Mr. Wang, I suggest you leave now. I don't accept such gifts. Secretary Nan please led them out. I will take a smoke outside the balcony." His eyes were sharp not giving enough room for protests.

He tried to call again but no one answered the phone.

The little prince was walking down the road but to no avail nobody has hired him, to make matters worst it looks like he lost his wallet somewhere.

He feels thirsty and saw people drinking from a drinking fountain. He usually drinks mineral water but he tried what other people are doing, anyways he doesn't have a choice since his throat feels completely dry. Even his legs feels like jelly from all of the walking.

After drinking some water he managed to walk into the shopping district and sat on one corner.

The sun was setting and he doesn't know how he should go home. Missing his wallet is really bad.

It had been more than an hour since he sat on that spot and the sky are gradually turning dark. He felt like crying and his tears are starting to form at the corner of his eyes.

"Should I go to the police?" he asked himself in a low voice feeling down at his wasted day of job hunting.

"Why would you go to the police?"A voice asked from above his head.

"Cause I can't go home- wait." He looked up and saw Fang Yan smiling at him. Shen Rui jump at Fang Yan's arms feeling better that he had been saved. He felt relieved that he would not need to camp outside, not knowing he could still go home because of the guard assigned to him by his parents.

"Xiao Rui everything's fine now. " The young man's voice whispered at his ears and he couldn't help but feel electrified. "Yan Ge" Shen Rui replied in his milky voice while clutching on the president's clothes.

Fang Yan did not reprimanded him even though his suite was wrinkled by the little prince's paw. He effortlessly carried him in his arms like a child and bring him inside the car.

"My little prince, Yan Ge is sorry that he only found you now. You must have suffered" Fang Yan continue to coax Shen Rui while the secretary who saw their interaction froze.

Secretary Nan: What the fuck happen to the boss?!

Shen Rui was accustomed to acting like a spoiled cat in front of his family and Fang Yan that his plan of distancing himself from Fang Yan nearly failed. It was a suprise that he still managed to snap back after feeling so wronged.

He quickly jumped back a few inches away from the young president and sat down in a proper manner.

"I'm fine. I'm just exploring the shopping district so that I could play, Mr. Fang doesn't need to worry." His eyes look at the man beside him wondering if he was angry by his pretentious attitude.

He thought he had mask the worries from his eyes but Fang Yan can clearly see it and he thought that their little prince must have felt wronged after being left for an hour on that place without any security.

" You can play with me at the shopping district next time."

" No need. I already have a lot of friends to play with." Shen without friends Rui bragged while holding his head high up. He is not worried his lie would be known. It's not like Fang Yan would even bother meeting his so called invisible friends.

The man's kindness is poisonous to him.

"Plus you smell like some woman so don't come near me. It's making it hard to breath." Shen Rui felt angry that he met him after dating his girlfriend. Even though he knew Fang Yan is straight he still felt annoyed.

"I've met some client and it must have been his wife." Fang Yan said as he tried his best to coax the little prince that is full of vinegar.

Shen Rui ignored him while looking out of the window trying very hard to maintain his good posture.

He just wants to lay down and sleep but he can't act like that in front of Fang Yan.
