Chapter 31 - Are You Free Now?

Ning Ruxing couldn't believe it. Although she knew snakes were intelligent, were they smart enough to know that they were bored staying inside and wanted to go for a walk?

"I've seen people walking dogs and stroking cats before, but I've never seen anyone walk a snake."

Jin Yebei raised his eyebrows. Although pythons were rare, it was not impossible. There were even crocodiles and great white sharks kept as pets in foreign countries. There was once a piece of explosive news in China about an old man who had raised a turtle since he was a child. When Jin Yebei saw how interested Ning Ruxing was, he said, "Why don't you take it for a walk?"

Ning Ruxing nodded without any hesitation. She was also very curious about how to bring the snake out. Ning Ruxing had already completed all the work and had nothing to do now. Since the sun was not so hot at this time and the breeze was just right, Ning Ruxing looked at Jin Yebei and said, "Thankfully I've already finished my work."

After sitting in the office for a long time, Ning Ruxing also felt a little bored. It was a good chance to go out with the little golden python for a breath of fresh air. But how should she bring it out? 'I can't possibly bring its nest out with me, right?' Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing's bewildered look and said, "Give me your hand."

The little golden python was coiled around Jin Yebei's wrist when he said that. Ning Ruxing obediently reached out her hand, and as if the golden python understood their conversation, it slithered from Jin Yebei's wrist to Ning Ruxing's. But it only did it halfway, its tail end still firmly wrapped around Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing tried to persuade the little golden pythons to come over entirely to her but the little golden python had no intention of leaving Jin Yebei.

What was going on? Didn't it want to go for a walk? Why was it still stuck to Jin Yebei then? Unfortunately, there was nothing Ning Ruxing could do about it. She had tried coaxing it but the little golden python still refused to budge. Ning Ruxing looked at Jin Yebei for help, and the latter did the same with her as well. Their eyes met and Jin Yebei said, "Goldie, it seems like you want me to go out with you."

Ning Ruxing looked at the little golden python's expression. It seemed to be true. Ning Ruxing's work had been completed, but had Jin Yebei's work been completed as well? How would he have the time to go with them? Ning Ruxing once again tried to make the little golden python leave Jin Yebei's wrist, but no matter what she did, it wouldn't work. Ning Ruxing could only helplessly ask, "Chairman Jin, are you done with your work?"

Jin Yebei looked at his schedule. He had a meeting in a while, but that wasn't important anymore. What could be more important than going out with Ning Ruxing? If he couldn't get back in time, he'd just make everyone work overtime with him. Jin Yebei said to Ning Ruxing seriously, "I'm free."

Ning Ruxing nodded. Jin Yebei got up and followed Ning Ruxing outside. The little golden python was still wrapped around their wrists as if it was trying to lock them together and wouldn't let them break free. Since there was nothing they could do about it, they let it be. The two stood together in the elevator. In the meantime, Jin Yebei used his other hand to send a message.

[Inform the others that the meeting will be postponed. Inform them now!]

The meeting was actually about to begin. Usually, at this time, the Heads of the company would turn on their mobile phones to await notifications from Jin Yebei. Kevin usually would too. But it just so happened that this time, he was re-drafting the report and thus, did not notice the message at all. Jin Yebei did not receive a reply for a long time and felt very annoyed. He immediately sent a message to Lisa.

Lisa, on the other hand, had eaten something wrong in the afternoon and was suffering from diarrhea. She was in the toilet, suffering from excruciating pain when Jin Yebei sent her the message. When Lisa had not replied, Jin Yebei sent the same message to Kana. There were only a few minutes left before the meeting started. In fact, they had a group chat, but Ning Ruxing was also in it and Jin Yebei did not want her to find out about the meeting, which was why he was sending the messages to each of his assistants separately. If Ning Ruxing saw it, what would she think? Would she feel that he was not doing his job properly? Or would she hate him?
