I have a wildlife zoo

(Talking about love)

Lan Li's heart raced, and her cheeks flushed red, "Embarrassing, embarrassing things?"

Her watery eyes met Fang Ye's gaze for a moment, her eyelashes fluttering before she quickly looked away, shyly lowering her head.

"Yeah!"

Fang Ye watched Lan Li's cheeks turn even redder, his heartbeat accelerating as his gaze swiftly moved to her lips, as beautiful as cherry blossoms.

They must taste so sweet when kissed, right?

Especially with the girl in his arms, exuding a faint and elegant fragrance, like a pristine gardenia.

He couldn't help but feel an urge stir within him, and he leaned down to kiss her.

Like a snowflake landing on the fingertip, melting into a droplet.

A brief touch and then it ended.

"Ah~~~~ssss~~~~that feels good~~~~"

After the kiss, Fang Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He smacked his lips, savoring the sensation just experienced.

Lan Li opened her eyes, a wave of embarrassment and annoyance hitting her, and she couldn't help but hammer softly with her little fists on Fang Ye's chest!

Fang Ye let her pound with her tiny fists, chuckling, "Why are you hitting me?"

"Zoo Director, you're bullying people!"

Fang Ye's fingers ran through Lan Li's smooth hair, chuckling, "Oops, sorry, sorry, you were just too tempting, I couldn't resist."

Lan Li wasn't actually angry about Fang Ye kissing her. She had thought he was going to do something "embarrassing," but all Fang Ye did was give her a quick peck. She hardly felt anything and was too shy to ask Fang Ye to kiss her again.

She tried to struggle a bit and said softly with shyness, "Open the door, otherwise they'll hear your voice and think we're doing something in here."

Fang Ye hugged her, surprised, "Is there an employee who dares to eavesdrop on the zoo director's corner?"

Lan Li could only stay obediently in Fang Ye's arms, like a little kitten resting her head against his chest, actually feeling quite pleased on the inside!

Fang Ye picked up his phone and saw that the staff group chat was buzzing with activity, many of the employees gossiping inside.

Zhang: "Shocked, do you guys know what just happened?"

Yang: "No, what's up?"

He Yifei: "Hehe/sneaky, the noise was really loud! I bet everyone on the floor heard it."

Meng Shi: "I didn't know before, but now I do!"

Zhang: "Hehe!"

He Yifei: "Hehehe!"

Lü Ye, confused and unaware of what had happened, eagerly asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

He Yifei: "Can't say, can't say. I can only give you a hint with four words: Firewood blazes up! /Flourishing Wealth!"

Guan Shan: "Shocked! Who would've thought? I always believed the zoo director was a vegetarian, turned out he's a gray wolf disguised as a red panda."

Lü Jiamu: "Ah, it brings back memories of my youth! Young people are just so passionate!"

Lü Ye: "Eh, I think I'm starting to get it!"

Nie: "Wow, seems intense! Forgive me, I swear I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, I just happened to be passing by moving things! And I overheard a little bit!"

He Yifei: "My God! Has it progressed this fast? You really have guts, daring to go there at a time like this. Come on, spill it, what did you hear?"

Nie: "No can do, bro, it's a bit inappropriate for children, really can't say, or I'm done for."

Guan Shan: "Wow! I can't take this, let's go, there's safety in numbers, let's team up and listen at the corner!"

Fang Ye's mouth curved into a smile, and he showed Lan Li the phone: "Wow, there actually are some bold ones."

Lan Li's face turned red with embarrassment, and she pounded him with her little fists again: "It's all your fault!"

It's over, it's truly the end of my social life!

"My bad, my bad, I'll give them a telling off for you."

Fang Ye rattled out a few characters, "Ah, who wants to be stuck in a corner? Hasn't pay been a bit too generous lately?"

"Guan Shan" withdrew a message!

Guan Shan: "Haha, the weather's nice today, right? The sky is high, the air crisp, and not a cloud in sight!"

Meng Shi: "Yeah, the temperature is really comfortable! The alpaca's in a good mood today too!"

A photo of the alpaca munching on a carrot was sent zipping through.

The employees instantly started laughing, sharing photos of the animals they took care of, and quickly buried the earlier messages.

Fang Ye was in a good mood and was only joking; he had no real intention of docking anyone's pay.

He then said in the group, "Today we celebrate moving to the new office building. After work, I'd like to treat everyone to a meal at Lion Restaurant!"

Of course, there was another reason that he didn't state but which everyone surely understood: celebrating finding a girlfriend.

Hearing this, the employees erupted in excitement!

"Wow, the Park Director is so generous! The Park Director rocks!"

"Woo hoo, long live the Park Director!"

"Today really is a day of double happiness! Not only have we moved to a new office building, but we also get to enjoy a grand meal!"

Although the Lion Restaurant offered a staff discount at 40% off, this was still quite expensive for an animal keeper's salary. Usually, they'd just eat in the cafeteria; it was tasty and economical, only splurging at the restaurant when family or friends visited the zoo.

Otherwise, even with the discount, it still felt a bit extravagant to dine there by themselves!

Guan Shan: "Park Director, I accept this marriage arrangement!"

He Yifei: "Hehe, no need for your approval—they're a golden couple, a match made in heaven. It's not like it's up to you, right, Park Director?"

Fang Ye puzzled, "What do you mean a match made in heaven? Compared to talent, isn't my most outstanding trait being handsome?"

Meng Shi: "..."

Lü Ye: "..."

Whether handsome or not, the Park Director certainly has no shame, that's for sure!

After the fun in the group, Meng Shi started chuckling at He Yifei with a "heh heh."

He Yifei on alert, "What's up, why are you leering at me like that? You're not interested in me, are you? 'Cause I'm not up for fencing."

Meng Shi speechless, "Buzz off! Who's interested in you? Remember the bet we made last time? I almost forgot because of the Park Director's treat today."

He Yifei's expression stiffened, "Ha ha, ha ha ha..." Experience tales at empire

Meng Shi flexed his biceps and raised an eyebrow, "Do you need me to jog your memory? Last time we bet on when the Park Director and Sister Lan would make it official. You bet it would be within a month, I said within three."

He Yifei grumbled, "Hey, it hasn't been much longer than a month... Fine, fine, I'll pick a time and treat you to a meal."

...

In the office, Fang Ye said to Lan Li, "Why don't you move in with me? My place is pretty big."

Lan Li's mind instantly flooded with a myriad of embarrassing scenes, even more so than today's, her face turning red, she reflexively declined, "No way!"

After hesitating a bit, she added quietly, "Isn't cohabitation a bit too quick? I'm not ready for that yet..."

Fang Ye gently explained, "Hey, it's not sharing a room, it's more like living in a dormitory. Does that count as cohabitation?

Most of the rooms at my place are empty anyway. It's quite lonely with just me there, and you coming would liven things up, plus the scenery is great too.

Think about it, we can go to work together, come back together, and there's even a swimming pool to enjoy. How great is that?"

He really meant it, no lies!

"Oh, it's not cohabitation... okay then..."

Lan Li leaned against Fang Ye, her mind a blur, and somehow, without really knowing why, she muddled through an agreement.
