It was said to be as soon as possible, but by the time Xingyao finished the work at hand and prepared herself mentally, it was already far past the end of get off work time.

Jin Yi didn't come to see him, which meant he was still working overtime.

He took a deep breath and headed to Alpha's office.

There was absolutely no sign of closing time inside.

Several responsible persons were coming and going, very busy. Xingyao stood at the door for a long time before someone finally noticed him.

Xingyao: "Um, I..."

Person in charge: "The minister is in the reception room! The director just came to see him."

Xingyao was stunned.

Is Shen Que here?

He was just hesitating whether to go back to the office and wait when the person in charge, who had already walked two or three meters away, suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, Deputy Minister, the Minister just said that when you're done, you should go to the reception room."

Xingyao's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

He was really afraid of seeing Chen Que, especially now that he had already finished drawing the design for Han Ying and even halfway through the core module...

But there is no way.

Xingyao walked to the door of the reception room with a guilty conscience, knocked three times, and pushed the door open.

Shen Que was sitting behind the desk listening to Jin Yi's report, and Alpha was holding a long list of questions in his hand.

Seeing him come in, they both looked over at the same time.

Xing Yao swallowed, and the moment his eyes met Shen Que, he suddenly shuddered.

For some reason, the aura around Shen Que became very strong... a lot stronger than before.

The Omega leaned back in the armchair with one leg raised.

The moment he looked at him with cold eyes, he felt that he had nowhere to hide.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xingyao suddenly realized——

It seemed that not only did Shen Que's aura become stronger, but he also had a heavy and warm feeling about him.

To put it in an analogy, he used to be like moonlight that was untouched by the mundane world, but now he is more like a quiet lake on the ground.

Although equally clear and equally cold.

But something fundamental has changed.

Xingyao's thoughts were completely free, and she began to wonder if something had happened recently.

Jin Yi continued his report.

He stood obediently behind Jin Yi.

Suddenly, he discovered that there was another person in the room, sitting on the sofa, looking over here gloomily.

...Young Lord?

Xingyao looked at Pei Ji in shock, with a fierce look in his eyes.

A sense of familiarity popped up somewhere in his mind, and Xingyao was even more shocked.

How could he be familiar with Pei Ji? !

But after the shock, he found that Pei Ji had gauze wrapped around his wrist, seemed to be injured, and was in a bad mood.

I don't know why... I suddenly wanted to pat him on the head and say a few words of comfort...

What kind of ghost story is this?!

He must be crazy!!!

At this time, Shen Que stood up and walked to Jin Yi, took the list from his hand, and asked questions while looking at it.

Jin Yi answered fluently.

The communication between the two smart people was smooth and concise.

But Xingyao became confused after listening for a while.

Who is whose, who is helping whom, who is hiding what, who should be brought down first and who should be brought down later...

So-and-so... So-and-so...

Shen Que had been on Baisha Star for less than a year, so how did he figure out the complicated relationships between the nobles?

At this moment, Pei Ji suddenly made a "tsk" sound.

“Too close.”

He said very unhappily.

Shen Que's movements paused noticeably, but he ignored him immediately and continued to ask the question he had just asked halfway.

Jin Yi seemed to glance at Pei Ji, but didn't say anything.

Pei Ji spoke again: "I said it was too close."

This time it was a little louder.

He stared at Jin Yi and Shen Que with a serious look.

Xingyao followed his gaze and looked at her two superiors who were at least one meter away from her with a confused look on her face.

"Stay away from me."

There was impatience in Pei Ji's voice.

"If you get any closer, your heads will touch. Can't you just sit back behind the table? No one is nearsighted. Are you afraid you can't see the microbes on your face if you get so close?"

For a moment, Xingyao felt that he had finally found someone with more unconventional thinking than himself.

Pei Ji saw that the two did not make any move and seemed to want to say something else. Just as he opened his mouth, he heard Shen Que say:

"Don't talk."

"You're noisy."

The tone was not fierce, nor did it even sound too commanding.

But Xingyao was shocked to see Pei Ji's mouth twitch and he actually shut up.

Chen Que and Jin Yi continued to discuss their work, as if nothing had happened.

Xingyao stared at Pei Ji, observing his expression as if she were studying a rare animal, and then she became more and more shocked, more and more shocked...

After a while, during the gap between the two bosses' conversation, he finally couldn't help but interrupt:

"Um... don't you care about the young lord?"

He gestured towards the sofa.

"He-he's crying!"

…

"Although it's a sensitive period, it's still too embarrassing to cry in front of two subordinates."

Jiaoyue Palace, in the waterside restaurant of Zhileyuan.

Ai Fan gracefully cut the seared salmon fillet and made an objective assessment.

"He cried in front of the entire Star Network last time. Did I say anything?"

Beside Ai Fan, Pei Li, who had just joined the family dinner, sneered disdainfully, pointed his fork at Pei Ji sitting across from him, and said to Chen Que sitting diagonally across from him:

"I'm telling you, he's been like this since he was a kid. When he gets upset, he loses his temper first, then cries, and then acts like a spoiled brat. It's all a routine!"

Pei Ji, who had put down his cutlery and started a hunger strike halfway through his meal, was sulking with his arms around his shoulders. When he heard this, tears started streaming down his face. The choking smell of sand instantly filled the room.

The other three, along with the servants behind them, coughed at the same time.
