"Ayang, that's such a nice position."
"Of course. But, do you know what position I like the most?"
From that smirk alone, Nana knew what he was about to say was something that could make her red in embarrassment. That's why she didn't ask what he meant by that.
Mu Yang knew she wouldn't respond to save herself from the embarrassment. But, seeing the blushing crept on to her cheeks and ears was his goal. Leaning towards her, Mu Yang ignored the way she held his hands slightly harder and whispered as sexy as he could.
"You. On top of me. Sweating. And Moaning."
It didn't even take a second for Nana's face to turn beet red. Mu Yang grinned victoriously seeing his words affecting her the way he wanted.
"I'm hungry." Nana turned her head away, avoiding his teasing gaze.
"Then, I'll order some food. What do you want to eat?" Mu Yang asked. His teasing voice changed into a tender one.
"Anything. As long as it's not too spicy. Ah, porridge sounds good." Nana tried to speak casually while trying to get rid of the blushing on her face.
"Okay." Mu Yang rubbed her head gently and left her to collect herself. It was enough teasing for now. "The bathroom is through that door. I'll leave your suitcases in the closet."
After leaving the suitcases in the big walk-in closet, Mu Yang went to his kitchen to check on what's left in his fridge, while ordering some food online. Right after he finished making a call, his manager called him.
"Yang Yichen, good news! You must not believe it!" The joy and excitement were clear in his voice that he even sounded like he was almost screaming.
"What is it? Talk properly. I can't understand what you're talking about." Mu Yang calmly talked to him while preparing the plates and bowls.
"Apollo contacted us, asking you to be their Brand Ambassador! They also want you to walk on the runway for their Fall Winter Collection on October!" The scream got even louder on the other side but Mu Yang didn't focus on the scream.
Apollo wanted him to be their Brand Ambassador? His favorite brand, Apollo, really wanted him? It was a surprising news, not only because Apollo usually used Westerners to be their Brand Ambassador, but also because they usually held an audition for the Brand Ambassadors. It was a rare occasion for them to pick their Brand Ambassador directly without holding an audition.
What caused them to pick him? Don't get him wrong. Mu Yang was elated with the news, but still, those questions were bothering him. As a world brand known for almost a century, they were known for their strict criteria for selecting the people they were working with. They designed and produced men's wear and accessories and many men would be proud wearing their designs. To be able to be their ambassadors were one of many men's dream.
"Yang Yichen, use your days off well. After that, you're going to be so busy. After you return, we're going to sign the contract. Do you hear me?"
"Oh. Okay." Mu Yang nodded absent-mindedly.
Even after he hung up, he still couldn't snap out of his surprise. He lost in his own thought for a while to the point he didn't even realize Nana had approached him and stared at him.
"Are you okay? You look troubled."
Mu Yang startled and looked at the owner of the voice who was looking at him worriedly. Her presence made the news he just heard even more beautiful. He had known the fact that he had somebody by his side to share a good news with was a bliss, but to share it with his lover was a new level of euphoria.
His smile was beaming brightly and in one swoop, he took her into his arms. "Bao Bei, Bao Bei, I did it! I did it! I got the contract!" He ignored her yelp of surprise and spun her around eagerly.
Nana encircled her arms around his neck and held on to her dear life. She didn't know what's going on, but from the way he laughed excitedly, something good must have happened to him. After all, he spoke in Chinese. He must be so happy that he didn't even realize he didn't speak English.
"Ayang, I'm dizzy." She said after more rounds of spinning.
"Ah, sorry." Mu Yang stopped and put her down carefully. His smile was still blooming like a flower, a sign that he was beyond happy at this moment.
After sitting down properly on the couch, Nana faced him and waited for him to share the news.
"Bao Bei, I got the contract with Apollo." Mu Yang controlled himself well this time. But, the gleaming in his eyes couldn't hide his excitement.
Apollo? Please, pardon her for being ignorant. Nana's line of work didn't include the knowledge of high end apparel, so it was hard for her to immediately recall such brand in a short time. She had heard about it in passing, but it didn't mean she knew more like those who worked in the fashion field.
Nana put her hand in front of her, halted him from saying anything further. She couldn't lie to him and acted as if she knew what he meant by saying that. A contract? She knew about it, but Apollo? Yes, she could just congratulate him with wide smile. But, seeing how he got so excited over a contract, she just had to find out what kind of brand it was.
"Give me a second." She frowned as she put her attention towards her phone while searching about Apollo. Seconds later, she jumped up in surprise. Her eyes widened in joy as she stared at the man in front of her. Her mouth wanted to say something, but no words came out of it.
"What? What is it?" Mu Yang momentarily forgot of his own excitement as he watched in amusement the way the girl in front of him lost for words.
Nana seemed to be aware of her own reaction. She collected herself fast, coughed into her hand and sat in front of him properly. She looked calm, but her sparkling eyes betrayed the feeling inside.
"Congratulations!" Finally, not being able to hold herself back, she pounced on him. "You've been wanting this position for so long. You've worked hard to be on their level so they can notice you. Finally! Finally! Congratulations, Yang Yichen!"
Mu Yang laughed while holding her tightly in her arms. He didn't know what she did before, but now he knew. She must have searched about it first.
Nana pushed herself until she could see his face. She cupped his cheeks and excitedly smothered him with kisses. "I'm so proud of you!" She grinned after she finished giving him a face full of kisses.
Mu Yang laughed again. "What did you do on your phone just now?" He was really curious.
