Chapter 227 Extra (6) Heart Fluttering

The next day at noon, Li Mai had just heated up her food and was about to eat when Zhou Songyan came over.

She stood up nervously: "You didn't go to eat?"

The two didn't exchange a single word all morning.

Zhou Songyan walked up to her and glanced at her lunchbox.

"It looks delicious."

Remembering how much Zhou Songyan enjoyed her cooking last night, Li Mai pushed the lunchbox towards him: "Why don't you eat it?"

Zhou Songyan closed the lunchbox for her, held it in his hand, and held her hand with his other hand.

"Zhou Songyan, where are you going?"

"Have a meal."

...

In the restaurant, Zhou Songyan ordered a table full of dishes for Li Mai to eat, while he himself held Li Mai's lunchbox, saying, "I'll eat this."

He finished the food that Li Mai had brought in no time.

Li Mai: "Would you like some more?"

She has a small appetite and brought very little food; it probably won't be enough for Zhou Songyan.

Zhou Songyan: "It is indeed a bit too little."

After lunch, Li Mai ran off first.

Zhou Songyan frowned.

Is this to keep your distance from him? Are you afraid people at the company will see?

What a joke! Does he need to hide his relationship?

He had just returned to the company when he saw Li Mai carrying a lunchbox back; it was brand new.

He was puzzled; wasn't there already a lunchbox?

After get off work.

Zhou Songyan walked to Li Mai's workstation and gently tapped on her desk.

"They're gone."

In an instant, countless eyes in the office turned to them.

Li Mai: "..."

She felt so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole.

She didn't intend to keep their relationship secret, but she also didn't want to go public so soon.

The two only confirmed their relationship last night.

So many people in the company are eyeing Zhou Songyan, they'd probably tear her apart.

Zhou Songyan remained expressionless in the face of the gazes directed at him from all directions.

He reached out and picked up Li Mai's cloth bag.

"I'll press the elevator button."

Li Mai grabbed her phone and quickly chased after him.

Once inside the elevator, there were many people, and there were two people between her and Zhou Songyan.

Zhou Songyan reached out and grabbed her, pressing her against his chest.

Li Mai: "..."

The people in the elevator gave them strange looks.

Zhou Songyan is a prominent figure in the company; everyone knows him.

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

Zhou Songyan finally let her go.

Li Mai was the first to run out.

Zhou Songyan's face darkened.

Seeing Li Mai standing by the car waiting for him, his expression softened slightly.

Li Mai held out her hand: "I'll take it."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

It turned out he was waiting for her bag.

Zhou Songyan didn't give her a chance: "Get in the car."

Li Mai didn't make a fuss and went to open the back door, but Zhou Songyan pulled her back and shoved her into the passenger seat.

After Zhou Songyan got into the car, Li Mai finally spoke: "What you just did will make everyone in the company know about our relationship."

Zhou Songyan turned to look at her: "Li Mai, do you want to have a secret relationship with me?"

"No, I want to wait a while before letting everyone know."

What's the difference?

Li Mai slumped her shoulders: "There's no point in discussing this anymore; everyone knows it now."

Zhou Songyan waited for her to get off work, carried her bag, and then grabbed her in the elevator.

Even a fool could see what kind of relationship they had.

"Our company doesn't have a rule against office romances, does it?"

Zhou Songyan scoffed: "It's too late to start thinking about it now."

Li Mai pouted, looking a little worried.

What if the company fires us?

Zhou Songyan: "Don't worry, the company has no explicit rule against colleagues dating."

Their Zhou family's company has never had such inhumane regulations.

Li Mai grinned and said, "That's good, you scared me to death."

Li Mai didn't care that her colleagues knew about her relationship with Zhou Songyan; they would find out sooner or later anyway.

She took out the newly bought lunchbox.

Is it pretty?

Zhou Songyan glanced at it and said, "It's just a lunchbox, what's so special about it?"

"I'll bring you some food tomorrow, do you want some?"

Zhou Songyan turned to look at her.

"Bring me food?"

"Hmm, do you want it?"

"want."

After taking Li Mai home, Zhou Songyan followed her upstairs with a natural expression.

Li Mai didn't think much of it.

I was pressed against the door after entering the room.

She looked at the tall man in a panic.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Zhou Songyan gently rubbed her lips with his fingertips and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

What do you think?

Li Mai covered her mouth with her hand and mumbled, "No, my mouth still hurts."

"It still hurts because we kissed yesterday. Let me see."

Li Mai was too naive; she actually took her hand away from him to show him.

Zhou Songyan stared at it for a while, then leaned down and kissed it.

However, he was very gentle today and did not make Li Mai feel uncomfortable.

After a brief taste, let her go.

"Go cook, I'm hungry."

Li Mai obediently went to cook to appease her man.

Zhou Songyan sat on the small sofa, raising his hand to his forehead.

He never knew he was such a womanizer.

I want to kiss Limai whenever I see her.

...

When Jiang Yuan returned from a month-long trip, she learned that Zhou Songyan had a girlfriend, a junior employee at the company named Li Mai.

Li Mai had long been prepared to clash with Jiang Yuan.

No matter what Jiang Yuan does, she will not back down.

Jiang Yuan has a fiery temper and is used to being arrogant at the company. She rushed to Li Mai's workstation and raised her hand to hit her.

Li Mai dodged it.

Jiang Yuan pointed at her: "If you're so capable, try stealing my man. Don't hide."

Li Mai was speechless: "Zhou Songyan has nothing to do with you. When did he become your man?"

Jiang Yuan glared at her fiercely: "Everyone in the company knows I like Zhou Songyan, he's mine!"

"Miss Jiang, we're all adults here, please don't be ridiculous. Even the emperor wouldn't dare say something like that."

“Zhou Songyan is single, and I am single. There is absolutely no problem for us to be together. We did nothing to steal or rob each other.”

"Ms. Jiang, please be more mature and stop making a scene. I still have work to do."

"You bitch, you're so sharp-tongued! What I say is mine, so it's mine! Break up with him right now!"

Jiang Yuan raised her hand to hit Li Mai again, but a large hand grabbed her wrist and pushed me back hard.

Jiang Yuan staggered two steps to regain her balance, and when she saw that it was Zhou Songyan, the ferocious expression on her face disappeared.

“Zhou Songyan…”

Zhou Songyan stared at her with cold eyes, and even without saying a word, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Those around who were gossiping and watching the spectacle awkwardly fell silent.

Zhou Songyan walked up to Li Mai: "Are you alright?"

Li Mai shook her head.

Upon hearing the commotion, the company's vice president rushed over and pulled Jiang Yuan away.

Jiang Yuan didn't bother Li Mai for a long time.

Their lives returned to normal.

...

On the weekend, Zhou Songyan put his arm around Li Mai and played with her soft hair.

"When we go out to play, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Li Mai: "I want to go to the aquarium."

Zhou Songyan wanted to say that the aquarium wasn't very interesting, but she swallowed her words.

"Okay, I'll take you to the aquarium."

Li Mai recalled that when she was a child, Li Shirong took Zheng Anze to the aquarium but didn't take her.

Zheng Anze came home after a day of fun and boasted to her, "I saw a walrus show, an orca show, and all sorts of jellyfish today..."

"Mom bought me juice today. Look, this is the orca plushie Mom bought me..."

Li Mai was very envious, thinking that she would also like to visit the aquarium in the future.

Some things may not be that good, or necessarily that interesting, but once a person becomes obsessed with them, they want to possess them.
