Is there anything else?
"There are still a few boxes left."
"Um."
After agreeing, Pei Wu turned and walked towards the warehouse.
"Is she your girlfriend?" the shop assistant asked Shen Yunan again. Shen Yunan glanced at the colleague who was talking to him. Shen Yunan, who was not very talkative, was not familiar with this shop assistant. Seeing that the other party looked like he couldn't remember his name, he felt a little relieved.
Pei Wu quickly finished moving the remaining boxes, and it was soon 5 a.m., the time when Shen Yu Nan would hand over the shift to his colleagues on the early shift.
Shen Yu Nan changed his clothes early today, ready to leave work, just in case someone blurted out "Shen Yu Nan".
Pei Wu's car was parked not far away, and it only took a few minutes to walk there. Only after getting into the car did Pei Wu ask, "Are you short of money? Your salary at Diana should be quite high."
"You always need money to live in society."
Previously, Pei Wu hadn't paid much attention to Shao Sang, only saying, "You can have your own life." She hadn't considered the full implications; even a robot needs money to live in this society.
"Miss, you may not know this, but Diana's intern salary isn't very high."
"..." Although Shao Sang's tone was compliant, it still managed to choke Pei Wu. Pei Wu pursed her lips slightly in silence, feeling guilty. She had indeed focused all her attention on the male lead, Shen Yu Nan, and hadn't paid much attention to Shao Sang in front of her.
Pei Wu's sigh was very faint, but it was still caught by Shen Yu Nan, who was sitting next to her.
When Pei Wu mentioned Shen Yu Nan, the male lead she needed to win over, her pupils contracted slightly, and her hand on the steering wheel tapped unconsciously. Recently, she had been busy with Shao Sang's affairs and had no time to pay attention to Shen Yu Nan.
Pei Wu recently tried to contact the system but to no avail. The last time was after the Shen family's affairs were settled.
Now that she's planning to marry Shao Sang, she really shouldn't provoke... Shen Yu Nan anymore.
"Do I not need to come again after today?"
"Yes, Shao Sang has already resigned from the store and doesn't need to come anymore."
Pei Wu nodded, considering Shao Sang's current physical condition, this was the best option.
"Shao Sang will be careful in her actions and will not disgrace the Pei family."
“....." Pei Wu glanced at Shao Sang who was speaking. That wasn't what she meant, but since the other party said it that way, she didn't need to refute it.
"Rest at home today, you don't need to go to the company. I will arrange for someone to go back and take care of your meals."
"Miss, you've stayed up all night with me. You should rest well at home today."
“…” Upon hearing Shen Yu Nan’s words, Pei Wu subconsciously glanced at the time on the monitor. “There are two important meetings today. After I get home and take a shower, I’ll go to the company to prepare.”
Then, there was a long silence between the two.
Pei Wu stopped the car and said to Shen Yu Nan, "Wait for me a moment."
"yes."
After speaking, Pei Wu got out of the car, and Shen Yu Nan's gaze involuntarily fell on Pei Wu.
After getting off the bus, Pei Wu stopped at a roadside breakfast shop. About five minutes later, she got back on the bus, carrying a package of steamed buns and soy milk. The hot buns had created a thin layer of steam on the plastic bag, and the soy milk was still warm.
Pei Wu placed the warm soy milk into Shao Sang's hands. The height of summer had passed, and the temperature of an early autumn morning could already be felt as dawn broke.
When Pei Wu handed the soy milk to Shao Sang, she accidentally touched Shao Sang's cold fingertips. Only then did she notice that Shao Sang was only wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt.
"You've been busy all night, let's eat something."
Pei Wu turned on the car's heater as she spoke.
Shen Yu Nan glanced at Pei Wu. Pei Wu, who hadn't slept all night, was a little sleepy and was covering her mouth with her hand to yawn. Perhaps because she yawned twice in a row, a tear welled up in the corner of Pei Wu's eye.
"Miss, would you like some?"
“…” Pei Wu didn’t speak, she just waved her hand.
Shen Yu Nan stared at Pei Wu's profile, slightly lost in thought. He had served as Pei Wu's secretary for three years without ever really looking at her face. At that moment, the light from the rising sun shone through the window and fell on Pei Wu's face.
Shen Yu'nan found the woman before him incredibly beautiful. Her skin was fair, her nose high and straight, and especially her beautiful eyes and brows seemed to possess a captivating, mesmerizing charm...
His heart was pounding so hard that he squeezed the soy milk in his hand so hard it made a sound before he came to his senses.
Seeing that Shen Yunan was staring at her blankly for a long time, Pei Wu asked, "Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan shook his head and didn’t say anything more.

Back at the apartment, Pei Wu saw that it was still early, so she took a shower and slept for an hour before heading to the company. Shen Yu Nan prepared black coffee and sandwiches for her breakfast.
"Get some rest, you don't need to do these things anymore."
Pei Wu took the breakfast and spoke to Shen Yu Nan.
"The coffee is ground by a coffee machine, and the sandwiches are even faster to make, so it doesn't actually take much effort."
"Don't overexert yourself. I'll worry if you faint again like the other day."
Pei Wu was putting on her shoes when she spoke and didn't notice Shao Sang's slightly raised eyelids behind her. There seemed to be light in his dark pupils, but he quickly lowered them. Only his superior eyelashes trembled slightly as he responded with a "Yes".
"Go get some sleep. I'll give the password to the person who's coming to prepare your meals, so you won't have to wait at the door."
"Miss, actually I can take care of myself."
"Listen to me on this matter, it's decided then. Okay, I'm going to the company now."
"yes."
Shao Sang only turned around and went back to her bedroom after she could no longer hear Pei Wu's voice.
He was lying on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Just a few days ago she was saying she wanted to pursue me, and now she's so easily going to marry... another man."
Shen Yu Nan muttered to himself, but only after he finished speaking did he seem to realize what he had said. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he lightly bit his lip. Realizing that he was jealous of himself, a sneer appeared on his lips. As he laughed, he curled up his body little by little, burying his entire face in the blanket, leaving only his dark eyes showing.
Did he really fall for her? Just because of the... nice things she did for him?
"Tsk..."
Shen Yu'nan suddenly felt worthless, and he tightened his grip on the blanket.
