Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ning Ruxing suddenly fell silent and Jin Yebei didn’t say anything either. He simply walked forward alone, slowly. Ning Ruxing knew that Jin Yebei was right. She couldn’t just release the python into the wild just like that. But what should she do then? After thinking about it seriously, Ning Ruxing quickly caught up with Jin Yebei and said, “I’ll raise it!

“I’ll buy a house with a big yard and let it live there, and feed it, and let refill its water bowl. That should be much better than letting it stay in the zoo!”

Jin Yebei’s eyes flashed with a touch of strange brilliance, but it disappeared in a flash. He didn’t expect her to make such a decision. If it were someone else, they would have forgotten about the snake and the promise.

“Do you know how much a snake that big eats a day?

“Aren’t you afraid that the snake will eat until you’re poor?”

Ning Ruxing thought, ‘Well, I am actually rich, so I should be able to keep a big snake. It’s not a problem.’ Besides, Jin Yebei had underestimated her. But why would he think otherwise? In Jin Yebei’s eyes, Ning Ruxing is just a student on an internship and hasn’t graduated yet. Ning Ruxing didn’t want to expose too much about herself so she simply said, “Then, I’ll just have to work hard!”

Jin Yebei was speechless. Such a huge python ate a lot every day. Ning Ruxing’s salary as an intern might only be enough to cover the expenses for a few days, unless Ning Ruxing wanted to feed the python grass instead.Jin Yebei wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what exactly. In the end, he said, “How cute of you.”

For a moment, Ning Ruxing didn’t quite understand what he meant by ‘cute’. Did he think she was stupid and naive? But she had no choice. Jin Yebei did not know her well! And Ning Ruxing didn’t want to reveal her wealth. She was too lazy to argue with him anyway. Moreover, he was her boss now.

“Chairman, are you ready to go back?”

Jin Yebei thought to himself, ‘Why would she think that? It’s the first time they’re alone together and I had purposely made Kevin postpone all my meetings of today. There’s nothing else for me to do.’ Jin Yebei slowly turned around, looked at Ning Ruxing, and said something that she would never forget.

“What do you mean by going back? The ticket costs more than 300 yuan just for you to come see the wrong snake? Shouldn’t we take a look around?”

Ning Ruxing didn’t expect that the chairman of Sen Ran to say such words. However, it was quite cute of him to react like this. After all, he was usually a cold person. Ning Ruxing that Jin Yebei’s behavior and temperament changed really quickly. Sometimes, he was easy to approach, but in the next second, he could make people feel like they had to stop in their tracks!

At this moment, Jin Yebei’s phone rang. From the expression on his face, it seemed to be something urgent. Jin Yebei didn’t expect such a thing to happen at this time. He thought that he would have a good date with her today. Well, since she was already here with him, he decided to involve her.

“What timing. Let’s go meet a client!”

When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn’t this the weekend? Wasn’t it a rest day? But now she was forced to work overtime after visiting the zoo with her boss? It seemed that the tickets were not bought for nothing! What an evil capitalist! Jin Yebei was very well aware that today should be a day off so it was not a good thing to make Ning Ruxing work overtime. He asked, “Do you have anything else to do in the afternoon?”

Ning Ruxing immediately shook her head. It wasn’t that she wasn’t willing to tag along. It was just that she had come out to visit the zoo today, so she had dressed more simply. Her business attire was still in the dormitory. Wouldn’t it be too abrupt to meet a client like this? Ning Ruxing looked at her own clothes and, with slight embarrassment, said, “But the clothes I’m wearing-”

Before she could finish, Jin Yebei interrupted her and carefully sized her up. Although she was not wearing a professional suit, she looked very good. Moreover, Jin Yebei himself was not wearing any formal suit. Of course, he would not ask Ning Ruxing to go back and change her clothes. Jin Yebei nodded and said, “You look fine.

“I’m also dressed casually, so it’s alright. Let’s not worry about our attires!

“Let’s go. We’re going to meet a client!”
