When I returned home hand in hand with Duan Jiayu, Sang Yan was curled up on the sofa watching TV. Upon seeing our close interaction, he raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, you're back? Looks like you had a lot of fun today."
I recalled what had happened on the mountain, and my cheeks involuntarily flushed. I lowered my head and replied softly, "Yeah."
Duan Jiayu smiled and ruffled my hair before walking over to Sang Yan, tossing him a bag of snacks. "I brought this for you, so stop saying I'm biased."
"At least you have a bit of conscience," Sang Yan said as he caught the snacks, tearing open the package and shoving a chip into his mouth.
"Brother, we..." I hesitated for a moment but decided to tell Sang Yan about my relationship with Duan Jiayu.
"What about you two?" Sang Yan looked up at her with curiosity.
"We're together now," Duan Jiayu took over my words, her tone calm and firm.
Sang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the sofa as if he had heard something unbelievable, his eyes wide open. "You... what did you just say? I must have misheard!"
"You didn't mishear; I'm together with your junior Sister," Duan Jiayu repeated, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"You... you two..." Sang Yan pointed at us, unable to find his words for a while.
Seeing my brother's shocked expression made me feel a bit guilty. I tugged at Duan Jiayu's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, will you bless us?"
Sang Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He walked in front of us, his gaze shifting between us before finally settling on Duan Jiayu. "Duan Jiayu, I warn you, if you dare to bully my junior Sister, I will not let you off!"
"Brother!" I stomped my foot in dissatisfaction. What kind of reaction was that?
"I will definitely take good care of her and spoil her to the heavens," Duan Jiayu said with a smile, her eyes full of affection.
Hearing Duan Jiayu's promise, Sang Yan finally felt a bit more at ease. He patted Duan Jiayu's shoulder and said earnestly, "I hope you mean what you say; otherwise..."
"Otherwise, are you going to hit me?" Duan Jiayu said with a smile, showing no fear of Sang Yan's threat.
"You..." Sang Yan wanted to say something but was interrupted by me.
"Brother, stop scaring him," I tugged at Sang Yan's arm and said playfully.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything," Sang Yan shook his head helplessly. With my junior Sister speaking up, what else could he say?
The next day, the news of Duan Jiayu and me publicly being in a relationship spread throughout the company, and colleagues began to discuss the authenticity of the romance between the boss and the intern.
"Did you hear? Our boss seems to be dating that intern named me."
"Is that true? No way! There's such a big age gap between them."
"I also think it's unlikely, but I heard they are quite close and often have dinner together after work."
"Hey, why do all these men nowadays like young and pretty girls?"
"Who knows? Maybe that's just the power of love."
Listening to my colleagues' discussions, my face felt hot, and I wished I could find a hole to hide in.
Duan Jiayu noticed my discomfort and reached out to hold my hand, softly comforting me, "Don't mind them; we just need to focus on our own work."
I nodded, trying hard not to pay attention to their gossip, but I still felt a bit uneasy inside.
What made me even more frustrated was that Qian Fei, this big mouth, actually revealed details about our relationship in the company group chat. For instance, how Duan Jiayu would deliberately serve me food when we ate in the company cafeteria and how he would personally drive me home after work.
These things were already eye-catching enough, but now that Qian Fei had spread them around, it became an open secret in the company. Everyone's gaze towards me turned meaningful.
I felt a mix of shame and anger, wishing I could find a hole to hide in.
On the day of the company dinner, I refused to attend, claiming I was unwell, and stayed home watching television.
When Duan Jiayu came back from work and saw me curled up alone on the sofa, he knew I had been wronged at the office.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" he asked gently as he sat down beside me.
I looked up, my eyes red but holding back tears. "Nothing... I'm just a bit tired."
"You silly, why are you pretending in front of me?" Duan Jiayu said, pulling me into his arms with concern. "Is it because of the rumors at work?"
I didn't respond, just nodded lightly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Duan Jiayu kissed my forehead gently, his tone firm yet tender.
The next day, Duan Jiayu publicly acknowledged our relationship during a company meeting and declared that age was not an issue; true love is invincible.
"I know everyone has been talking about my relationship with Sang Sang lately. I want to say that we are indeed together and we love each other," Duan Jiayu's voice was clear and resolute, echoing throughout the conference room. "Age is not a problem; true love is invincible. I hope everyone can give us some space and blessings."
Duan Jiayu's actions gave me immense security and silenced those who had been gossiping behind our backs.
From that day on, no one in the company dared to talk about our relationship behind closed doors, and I gradually adapted to workplace life, becoming more confident and composed.
