Accompany me to the company
Sheng Yuanhan obviously noticed her gaze and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
【What, can’t you look away? 】
Ning Qian withdrew her gaze with embarrassment, blaming herself for being too engrossed.
Sheng Yuanhan put down the newspaper in his hand without being surprised and signaled the male servant beside him to bring breakfast.
"Good morning."
Ning Qian spoke dryly.
"It's getting late."
Sheng Yuanhan lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the hour hand.
He had the habit of getting up early and had been waiting for her in the restaurant for an hour.
"Really? Mary didn't call me and I accidentally overslept."
Ning Qian took a seat at the end of the table.
Sheng Yuanhan raised his eyebrows, very dissatisfied with the seat she chose, "Come and sit here."
Ning Qian stood up suddenly and looked around, "Then where should I sit?"
Sheng Yuanhan looked at the five-meter distance between them, his expression slightly displeased, "Sit on my right."
Ning Qian's brows flashed with confusion, wondering if this was too close.
She didn't know much about dining etiquette and was a little worried that she would embarrass herself in front of Sheng Yuanhan.
"You don't want to?" Sheng Yuanhan's face turned cold.
[Is she resisting me? Was last night just wishful thinking on my part?]
Ning Qian walked over quickly and said, "No, I'm not unwilling."
Oh my God, who dares to let you do what you want? Your face will fall apart in an instant.
After Ning Qian sat on his right, Sheng Yuanhan finally showed a look of satisfaction.
After last night's hug, Ning Qian felt somewhat uncomfortable, and the atmosphere between them gradually became subtle.
Fortunately, at this time, the male servant brought breakfast, which was various Western breads and milk.
Under Sheng Yuanhan's gaze, Ning Qian picked up a croissant from the snack stand and slowly started to nibble on it.
After a while, he had only eaten a small half.
"Not tasty?"
Sheng Yuanhan saw that she looked painful while eating and asked.
Ning Qian shook her head.
The croissant was baked very crispy, and she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, bread crumbs would fall out.
If only she had porridge this morning, she would be able to hold the spoon gracefully and drink it in small sips.
It wouldn’t be like it is now, where it’s tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
On the other hand, Sheng Yuanhan was much calmer than Ning Qian.
Leng Bai pinched the bread wrapper with his slender fingers and finished a whole loaf of bread in two or three bites.
Soon, the plate in front of him became empty.
Ning Qian stole a glance at him and thought to herself that she was too slow.
At this moment, Sheng Yuanhan suddenly reached out to her.
Ning Qian thought he wanted to eat the bread in front of her, and just as she was about to hand it to him, he stopped her.
"Don't move."
Sheng Yuanhan's fingertips touched her lips, and with a light pinch, he wiped away the bread crumbs at the corner of her lips.
After completing this series of actions, he wiped his hands as if nothing had happened, and picked up the newspaper.
Ning Qian stared at him in disbelief, a thunderclap exploding in her ears. She was flattered that the young master, who had been pampered since childhood, would personally help her do such an intimate thing.
Sheng Yuanhan absentmindedly read a few lines of text. Seeing that she was still staring at him, he urged her, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, accompany me to the company."
Ning Qian took a sip of the milk and cleared her throat. "Why are you going to the company?"
No, it’s normal for him to go to the company, but why did he bring me with him?
Sheng Yuanhan glanced at her and said briefly, "Arrange your work for this week in advance."
"Oh." Ning Qian nodded, seeming to understand, "Do I want to come too?"
"You don't want to?" Sheng Yuanhan put the newspaper aside and turned his head to look at Ning Qian.
The amber pupils were filled with Ning Qian's figure.
Why is it so difficult to go out with her?
Even when traveling, I was the one who invited them.
[Can a love initiated by one person really last? Heartbreaking...]
"Of course I would!" Ning Qian blurted out.
She really couldn't stand the sight of a gorgeous man looking at her lovingly, and in his heart he was still condemning her coldness.
This makes her look like a sinner.
"But." Ning Qian pondered for a moment, "Will it bother you if I take you along?"
"Of course not."
Sheng Yuanhan glanced at her and saw that she still had a cautious expression on her face. Then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to know how to get along with her.

As for Chen Zong, he has been recuperating at the Shen family since he was beaten up by Ning Zhengqing last time.
"A Zong, are you still sleeping? I have something to tell you." Chen Xuan knocked on his door.
"What's the matter?" Chen Zong stuffed the vibrating phone under the pillow. He got a headache whenever he saw Su Zhiyan's call.
Chen Xuan lost her arrogance at home and spoke gently to her younger brother, "Are you feeling better now? You don't blame me for not helping you, do you?"
Chen Zong's face darkened, "That's not true."
He thought that telling his sister would help him, but he didn't expect that his sister would turn around and warn him to behave himself after she found out that Ning Zhengqing was a shareholder of the recent cooperative company and played a vital role.
"You know, the restaurant at home may look impressive to outsiders, but it's actually just enough to cover expenses. Now is not the time to cause trouble."
At this point, Chen Xuan glanced at Chen Zong's face. Seeing that he was indifferent, she changed the subject and said, "Just bear with it for now. Our family is entering the fashion accessories industry, and we need the guidance of an industry tycoon. Once I get this project, I'll get you back!"
These words gave Shen Zong hope. He was a playboy, how could he survive after his face was beaten like this!
"Sister, you must help me vent this anger!"
"Don't worry."
"Sister, can you give me two million to spend? I've recently..."
"A Zong, I told you that my money is useful recently. If you are really short of money, tell your family."
Chen Zong's eyes dimmed. If he could really get the money at home, would he still need to ask Chen Xuan?
"Then one million?" Chen Zong still didn't give up.
"No," Chen Xuan refused flatly.
Shen Zong suddenly showed a look of disappointment.
Chen Xuan realized that she had spoken too harshly, so she softened her tone again: "I'll give you some help when I can get back on track after a while. If you're fine, just lie down and recuperate. I have something to do first."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Before leaving, her eyes were cold and she gritted her teeth. She would never let go of her brother's injury!
After Shen Xuan left, Shen Zong finally took out his vibrating cell phone.
This was already the tenth call from Su Zhiyan. He was afraid that if he didn't answer, she would come to his door with her bodyguards.
"Oh my aunt, why did you call me again today?" Shen Zong said flatteringly.
"Where have you been? Why are you answering the phone now? If I find out that you've run away with the money, you'll be in big trouble." Su Zhiyan scolded angrily.
"What are you talking about? I've been recovering at home since I was beaten last time."
Chen Zong touched his dark cheekbones and howled softly.
"Useless piece of shit. I told you to hook up with someone, but you dragged your feet and now you're getting beaten up like this."
Chen Zong was holding back his anger. It was just one million. The pocket money he had saved for two months was enough to throw it in her face!
But he swallowed the words back, "It's not my fault. Her brother was just too fierce. He didn't even listen to my explanation and just punched me in the face. I had no choice."
This was the first time in his life that he had been beaten so uncomfortably.
He thought about getting back at Ning Zhengqing privately, but it was not cheap to hire someone to teach him a lesson. Besides, all his money was spent on women, so he had no money left.
Take his pocket money, for example. As soon as it arrives in his account every month, most of it is deducted by the installment payment for luxury cars. It is difficult for him to keep any money!
He hated why he bought a five million sports car just for the sake of face.
Now, he can't even afford to fill up his gas tank.
"That's enough." Su Zhiyan's tone became more and more impatient. "If this one can't be handled, try another one. Do you still remember the woman next to Young Master Qin?"
"What?" Shen Zong asked.
He had some impression of the delicate girl next to Qin Beichen.
"Go and take her down. If you succeed, I'll give you another two million."
"I remember it, but..."
Chen Zong is not stupid either. The women around Qin Shao are not so easy to win over.
"No buts. I'll give you two months. If you can't get it, return the money to me. Otherwise..." Su Zhiyan sneered twice, "You know the consequences."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Chen Zong shuddered, there was nothing he could do. No matter how difficult it was, he had to bite the bullet. He couldn't just sell his luxury car. How could he survive in the rich circle after that?
He got up and looked in front of the mirror, trying his best to make himself look handsome.
But the man in the mirror had a bruised nose and swollen eyes, a horrible sight.

A dark and low-key Rolls-Royce slowly stopped under a skyscraper in the CBD of Dongcheng District, and the tempered glass of the skyscraper reflected crystal light.
Ning Qian looked at the expensive high-rise building with curiosity, wondering how many lifetimes she would have to work hard to be able to afford it.
Before going out, the makeup artist specially braided Ning Qian's hair into a bun, and then applied the latest popular rich girl makeup on her. Her eyes were slightly raised, wild yet sweet. She wore a black sequined miniskirt, which magnified the advantages of her legs, with smooth and beautiful lines. Her skin was as white as cream and she was graceful.
Zhang Xu had already been waiting downstairs with a group of management.
Sheng Yuanhan buttoned his shirt slowly, waited for the driver to open the car door, turned around and extended his hand to Ning Qian.
The palms are slender and rosy, with clear palm lines.
Ning Qian felt timid. Now was not the time to attend the event. It would not be appropriate to hold hands in public in such a bright and open environment.
Sheng Yuanhan looked at her doubtfully and said, "Help you get out of the car."
"Oh, I was distracted just now." Ning Qian blushed.
It turns out that this is not what she thought.
However, he had never been so gentlemanly before, and he always took the lead in a casual manner.
Ning Qian lightly placed half of his hand, and their fingertips touched, feeling numb and tingling.
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes darkened and he grasped half of her hand in his palm.
Ning Qian became visibly panicked. Didn't they agree that they would just help her? How could she have the nerve to look up when there were so many people standing opposite her?
Zhang Xu's smile suddenly stopped. He had been following Princess Yao around for the past few days and had not been with Mr. Sheng for some time.
I didn't expect that after so many days, this little girl is still here, and our relationship has even taken a step further.
He had worked in the Sheng family for so long, but had he ever seen Mr. Sheng love a woman so much?
Even his own sister Yaoyao is not very popular with him.
Apart from Zhang Xu, other senior executives looked at each other in confusion. Who was this young and beautiful woman in front of them?
Regardless of what Mr. Sheng meant, they all respectfully called out, "Hello, Mr. Sheng."
In contrast to Zhang Xu's nonchalant attitude, another smart-looking man stepped forward and complimented him, "Is this Mr. Sheng's...?"
The lingering sound stretched out, waiting for Sheng Yuanhan's answer.
Ning Qian pretended to be calm and accepted everyone's gazes, while trying to pull her hand back.
A smile appeared in Sheng Yuanhan's eyes. He held Ning Qian's hand tighter and even pulled her closer to his side.
"This is Miss Ning, my lover."
Ning Qian's eyes froze obviously. When did she become his lover?
The row of executives opposite and Zhang Xu all gasped.
Mr. Sheng never has any concubines around him, but this time he showed off his real wife.
This news undoubtedly caused a stir in their hearts.
Fortunately, after a moment of silence, the executive who had just looked shrewd suddenly smiled and bowed to Ning Qian, saying, "Hello, Madam Sheng. My name is Xiao Liu, and I'm the head of the North China Marketing Department. I've heard Mr. Sheng praise you before, and now that I see you, you're truly outstanding and radiant!"
