Xu Xinchen stirred in Chen Ningsheng's arms, as if trying to wriggle out of his embrace to argue, but she failed and was instead held down even more firmly by Chen Ningsheng.

"Baby, don't move, listen to me first, okay?" Chen Ningsheng coaxed Xu Xinchen in a low voice.

Xu Xinchen paused, probably because Chen Ningsheng rarely spoke in this tone. Now, Xu Xinchen was truly quiet. Looking at Chen Ningsheng's suit so close to her, she reached out and tugged at it.

"Okay, I won't move, you can continue."

Chen Ningsheng cleared his throat. When Xu Xinchen was being so well-behaved, he always felt like he could tear his heart out for her: "What Aunt Fang said made me very sad."

Xu Xinchen paused, her eyes filled with confusion. What was Chen Ningsheng sad about?

Chen Ningsheng coaxed her softly, "We've both been very busy lately, and I've been neglecting your feelings. I didn't even realize how much pressure you're under. I think I've gone too far."

Xu Xinchen was taken aback at first, then fell silent. She felt that Chen Ningsheng was doing it on purpose, trying to stir up her guilt.

As expected, Chen Ningsheng's words became increasingly mushy, basically revolving around how little time the two of them had spent together recently and how he had been in the wrong.

Xu Xinchen wanted to cover her face more and more as she listened. What Chen Ningsheng said was true, and she really couldn't refute it! They had indeed spent much less time together during this period than before, and it wasn't just that Chen Ningsheng hadn't noticed her abnormality.

She didn't care about Chen Ningsheng much anymore! Every day they went to work at their respective companies, and when they got home, one of them would crawl into bed...

One was reading documents in the study, while the other was sketching in the bedroom.

Aside from sleeping, we barely communicate at all. This might be tolerable for a short time, but what will happen in the long run?

While speaking, Chen Ningsheng secretly observed Xu Xinchen's behavior. When he realized that Xu Xinchen had completely quieted down, he was immediately frightened and quickly interrupted his long speech, hurriedly lifting Xu Xinchen's chin.

“Baby, don’t be angry. If you really don’t want to go, we can skip it. But you have to promise me that you’ll at least take one day to go out with me and relax.”

Xu Xinchen silently looked up at Chen Ningsheng, her eyes filled with heartache: "Ningsheng..."

Chen Ningsheng quickly hugged the baby and comforted him, "Baby, don't worry about it. Just pretend I didn't say anything. It was just a moment..."

Chen Ningsheng paused halfway through his sentence, unsure how to explain his earlier remarks in a way that would prevent Xu Xinchen from taking them to heart.

Just as Chen Ningsheng was in a state of panic, Xu Xinchen suddenly shook her head and said with a firm expression, "Ningsheng, let's go over there."

"Hmm." Chen Ningsheng, still thinking about how to salvage the situation, didn't immediately understand Xu Xinchen's words: "What...?"

At this point, Chen Ningsheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Baby, you, you just said..."

Xu Xinchen nodded, confirming Chen Ningsheng's question: "I said, let's go there, have fun for a few days, and then come back."

Come on, let's all take this opportunity to relax and unwind.

Chen Ningsheng breathed a huge sigh of relief. Although he didn't understand why Xu Xinchen had suddenly changed her mind, he was relieved as long as she was willing to go out and not keep to herself.

He quickly reached out and touched Xu Xinchen's hair: "Okay, I'll have someone make preparations. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, sure." Xu Xinchen nodded vigorously.

For the first time since joining the new company, she didn't go back to her bedroom to draw after get off work, and Chen Ningsheng didn't go back to his study to look at documents either.

After eating and washing up, the two sat down in front of the TV together, quietly discussing the problems they had encountered at work recently.

The next morning, Xu Xinchen walked into the company with a cheerful gait. Aunt Fang was inside looking at the new designer's drafts. When she saw Xu Xinchen walk in from outside with a light heart, a smile also appeared on her face.

"Did you have a good talk with Ning Sheng yesterday?" Aunt Fang put down the design draft in her hand and asked with a happy expression.

Xu Xinchen scratched her hair a little shyly: "Yes, Aunt Fang, thank you so much for yesterday."

Xu Xinchen knew that if Aunt Fang hadn't gone to see Chen Ningsheng yesterday, she might still not have realized her mistake and would still be immersed in the design draft.

Living a life where only work matters and no one else matters is bound to cause problems in their relationship sooner or later. Fortunately, they have Aunt Fang by their side, who not only sees their problems but also helps them to wake up to reality.

Aunt Fang raised an eyebrow and accepted Xu Xinchen's thanks without any hesitation; it was indeed a thank you she deserved to hear.

She didn't stand on ceremony.

"Now that we know there's a problem between you two, why not put down your work and have a good talk, go out and have some fun? Don't let work really crush the relationship you've worked so hard to build."

Xu Xinchen nodded affirmatively and said with a face full of gratitude, "I understand, Aunt Fang. Thank you so much."

Aunt Fang waved her hand calmly: "Alright, alright, stop thanking me. I'm just grateful that you're listening to me. Go back to work now."

Xu Xinchen couldn't help but chuckle, nodded, and turned to walk into the office. She pulled out a chair and sat down at her desk, calming herself down and focusing her attention back on the design draft.

Although I've already promised Chen Ningsheng that I'd go out with him tomorrow, it's good to think about the general content of the design draft today and write down what comes to mind, so I might be able to use it later.

What Xu Xinchen didn't expect was that she had only just calmed down today when she immediately came up with a design theme for this project.

As she tried to sketch a rough outline on the draft paper, Xu Xinchen's eyes brightened. She moved quickly, drawing everything that came to mind.

It wasn't until lunchtime that Xu Xinchen finally stopped talking, picked up the design draft that was now filled with graphics, and became more and more satisfied with it, finally unable to help but laugh.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ningsheng, who was standing outside the door, raised his eyebrows and pushed open the door to go inside, holding the things in his hand.
