In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

The other type targets the emerging middle class who have aesthetic tastes and are willing to pay for unique designs and a quality lifestyle, providing more refined and tasteful design services.

Yang Nai sighed again as she finished speaking and extended her hand.

Yuan Qianye understood, picked her up, and then sat in the boss's chair, letting her lean against him.

Yang Nai pressed her face against his chest, closed her eyes wearily, and said in a softer tone, "But all of the above is easier said than done."

The new direction has been set, but how exactly do we proceed? Which direction should our design team transition to? How should we adjust the supply chain? How do we reshape the brand image… a whole host of questions await resolution.

She opened her eyes and pointed to the pile of documents on the table: "So during this period, it wasn't just meetings; the company's management was also asked to give their opinions and specific suggestions for change."

Lately, I've been spending at least eight hours a day out doing market research, and then I have to work through the night organizing data, analyzing information, and writing reports... It's really exhausting.

Yang Nai confessed her hardships. In her younger sister's eyes, she had always been an all-powerful older sister. But now, in private, she didn't want to keep up the act in front of her lover. Occasionally, she would follow her true feelings and act a little coquettish, which was indeed quite nice.

Since getting together with Yuan Qianye, she has come to understand more and more why her grandfather, despite her mother's excellence, still chose to train her father, who was not particularly outstanding at the time, to stand on his own.

Having a reliable man to lean on provides a lot of peace of mind.

“No wonder…” Yuan Qianye nodded knowingly.

No wonder Yang Nai didn't contact him much during her trip; there were only a few scattered greetings before nothing happened. She was so busy.

Moreover, judging from Yang Nai's frank analysis, the situation seems to be more serious than imagined. It's not just about being busy; it's about finding a way out for the company's future survival and development.

“The reason I asked you to come over earlier was actually because of this,” Yang Nai added, her tone slightly more relaxed. “Because we’ve adjusted our business direction, our cooperation model with you personally may also undergo some slight changes, which we need to formally inform you of and re-sign some supplementary agreements.”

However, since Miyoko isn't with you today, and there's too much to explain in a short time, let's leave it at that and talk about it in detail another time.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Yuan Qianye was genuinely hoping to be of assistance; this wasn't just a polite remark.

“No, and you don’t need to…” Yang pressed her face against his neck, greedily inhaling his unique scent: “…After all, this is an internal matter of the company, and it’s all tedious stuff. But if you successfully get together with Yukino and become the next head of the Yukinoshita family, then the situation will be completely different.”

"Hehe." Yuan Qianye chuckled dryly.

He wanted to, but it's not that simple.

But isn't the situation on Haruno's side quite bad right now?

This applies not only to the assets of the Yukino family and to Haruno herself, but also to her own unique situation.

Gen Chiyo placed one hand on Yono's shoulder and gently massaged it: "I know you're working hard, but I didn't expect it to be this hard. Keep going, I won't bother you. After we finish, take a bath and go back to your room. Lie on the bed and I'll give you a good massage to help you relax."

A wave of soreness and relief spread from her shoulders and neck, making Yang Nai let out a soft, comfortable groan. She was tempted by his suggestion, but Ren Jiu shook his head: "It will be at least two hours before I'm finished."

"That's alright. You go ahead and do your work, I won't bother you. If it's not appropriate for me to stay here too long, I'll just find somewhere nearby to kill some time. Message me when you're done, and we'll go back together. It's been so long since we last met, I've been missing you a bit."

After hearing his words, Yang Nai turned around and first looked up to meet his caring gaze. Then she raised her head slightly, felt a distinct creaking sensation under her bottom, and couldn't help but mischievously move and laugh out loud: "Did you miss me, or were you thinking about some naughty things?"

Yuan Qianye coughed awkwardly and tightened his waist slightly: "This doesn't contradict what I just said."

Yang Nai took the initiative to hug his neck, her soft body pressing against him tightly, her tone tender and affectionate: "Let's not. Although I really want to hug you and sleep together after so long, it's too late. Besides, I've been really tired these past few days, and my stamina might not be up to par. If I'm not in good shape... I might not be able to satisfy you. So let's go find your other sister instead."

“I would like to…” Yuan Qianye sighed wistfully, his expression full of unspeakable feelings.

"what happened?"

"Toka is going to participate in a cooking competition in Kyoto. She has to leave tomorrow. There's really no time."

"I see... But don't you have two other girlfriends?"

Seeing that Yuan Qianye looked even more melancholy and remained silent for a long time, Yang Nai, combining this with the subtle expression he was currently displaying, vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Could it be that they're also..."

“Yeah, that’s right…” Yuan Qianye squinted and lowered his eyebrows, looking exactly like a Tibetan fox with a lifeless expression: “…Saeko also has a competition, the National Kendo Tournament. As the captain and leader, she’s been leading the Kendo Club members in training like crazy these past few days, so she doesn’t have any time.”

Modern sports science does not generally support the idea that abstinence is necessary before competition. Studies have shown that the energy expenditure of a single act is only between 100 and 300 kilocalories, which has a negligible impact on well-trained athletes.

However, that is just scientific big data, which can indeed be used for most people, but cannot be applied casually and indiscriminately to everyone.

Not to mention that Minamoto Chiyo himself is an extraordinary "heretic". Even Saeko would not be able to withstand a one-on-one "match" with him. Even if she stopped, she would still feel weak the next day.

Saeko's father had previously noticed a significant decline in his daughter's kendo skills during a sparring session. He assumed it was because she had become lax in her self-discipline while he was abroad, so he only gave her a verbal reprimand.

But she had no idea that it was because she and Qianye had only been a couple for a short time, and after their initial foray into forbidden fruit, she was still enjoying her lover's body.

Therefore, with the national tournament coming up soon, Gen Chiya certainly can't go looking for her.

"What about Shiyu, that child?"

"Hmm... As soon as she got back, her editor caught her talking."

"Caught?" This subtle question made Yang Nai ponder for a moment. Remembering Shi Yu's identity as a light novel author, she quickly understood: "Is she behind schedule?"

"I guess so. Before she left for her trip, she sent the manuscript of the new volume of her novel, which she had already completed, to the editor. However, she forgot about the extra chapter she had promised about one of the characters in the novel. The word count wasn't too high, just 30,000 words would be fine. She promised the editor that she would write a little bit every day during her trip and submit the manuscript as soon as she returned."

But while she agreed, when she returned, the word count was far short, completely different from what was originally agreed upon. The deadline agreed upon with the publisher and printing plant was fast approaching, so the frantic editor had been moving into Shiyu's house with her change of clothes, keeping a close watch on her every step of the way.

In fact, Shiwa's current predicament is inextricably linked to his relationship with Eriri.

If Shiyu hadn't noticed the strange, ambiguous atmosphere between him and Eriri during their trip, she wouldn't have been so nervously watching them, guarding Eriri like a thief, and wouldn't have been able to concentrate on her novel anymore.

Even so, all her efforts were in vain.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep; similarly, you can never keep an eye on a man's restless heart...

As soon as he returned from his trip, Chiya quickly started a relationship with Eriri.

Hmm... Considering Shiyu's personality and mood, this matter can't be rushed. It's better to tell her the truth after a while.

“I see, no wonder you came to find me at this time.” Yang Nai understood completely. She slowly sorted things out on her fingers: “When we were traveling, I heard Yukino say that you were staying in a large suite, so even if you really wanted to, you couldn’t do anything.”

So I endured it until I got back. I was planning to go see Shihua, but she had something to do, and so did your other two girlfriends. So in the end, I was the only option left. That's why you came to see me as soon as you finished work today.

Chiya wanted to correct the error in Yono's speculation, such as the fact that he still managed to have a secret rendezvous with Utaha during the trip, and that he was even more excited to some extent because Saeko and Eriri were there as spectators.

And if it weren't for Rikka and the others interfering, they almost succeeded with Toka's plan... But none of that matters now!

Because Yang Nai's hand had already slid in under his shirt hem, stroking his lower abdomen with an almost teasing touch.

"I just can't do anything with you~"

After her seductive tone ended, she leaned in and kissed him.

Just as Yuan Qianye was about to respond, she playfully pulled away.

He took a deep breath: "What my sister means is..."

"What else can I do? You look so adorable in your eagerness right now, like a big baby who's starving. I can't bear to refuse you. I'll help you out a little bit first, and then you can wait for me obediently, just like you said. We'll go home together after I'm done."

Today, Haruno didn't have any bad intentions. Of course, it's also possible that she harbored feelings very similar to those of Minamoto Chiyo.

Having not seen each other for over a week, it's natural to miss someone you'd give your whole body to.

She pulled Yuan Qianye, who looked excited yet slightly hesitant, into a small break room in her office, had him sit on the massage chair, and then slowly squatted down and took off her blazer.

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry. Besides, it's quite hot today, and I've been running around outside all day."

"She was very caring and considerate towards me verbally, but her body showed no sign of rejection; in fact, she seemed even more energetic."

And... well... to be honest, I actually really dislike men who smell of sweat, and Dad is the same way, but you're the only exception, Chiya. And for some reason, this smell excites me a lot.

"Yang Nai..."

"I already told you to call me 'sister'."

"It's...my older sister..."

"Enjoy it! Let's try to finish this quickly and make as many cute sounds as I like."

"Um……"

Seeing that his long-cherished wish was finally about to be fulfilled, Gen Chiya let out a heartfelt sigh. Just then, Yono's cell phone, which was on the desk outside, suddenly rang.

"Let's leave it for now."

"That won't do, it might be an important call." Yang Nai stood up: "You stay here and don't move, I'll be back in a bit."

Yang Nai clutched her collar, returned to her desk, picked up her phone, glanced at it, and immediately felt her heart stop. It was her mother calling!

Although it wasn't face-to-face, what she was doing still made her feel very guilty.

"It's Mom!"

She called out to Yuan Qianye in a low voice as a reminder, then took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello, Mom..."

"Yeah, the usual at the company..."

"It's alright, it's not too tiring..."

The call went smoothly at first, until—

"Huh? You and Dad just finished a banquet and you're coming over now?"

Yang looked at Yuan Qianye with a complicated expression.

Without hesitation, Gen Chiya immediately got up and straightened his clothes.

"There's nothing inconvenient about it... Qianye is here with me too..."

Yang Nai looked at Yuan Qianye apologetically, explaining that she had brought this up herself because she felt that hiding something would make her mother realize something was wrong.

This is a natural suppression that she has had since she was very young and sensible, and she feels that she cannot get rid of or overcome it in a short period of time.

"It's nothing, I just need to talk to him about some work-related things... Okay, come on over, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Nai looked at Yuan Qianye apologetically, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Yuan Qianye shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to say anything; he understood and could completely comprehend it.

There's nothing we can do about this sudden situation.

"So what do we do now? Should I leave first?"

"I just told Mom you were here. Wouldn't it be a little strange if he came later and didn't see you? So could you stay a little longer?"

"I understand."

That's the only way, isn't it?

Yang Nai bent down and lightly poked with her fingertip: "I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you properly later."

"...!"

At this point, please stop with any more provocative actions! It's about to explode!
