An Yiruo walked into the house and saw Mo Jingchen on the phone.
Mo Jingchen pointed to the sofa, indicating that An Yiruo should sit down first. An Yiruo followed Mo Jingchen's direction and sat down.
There were two elaborate lunches and a cup of milk tea on the coffee table. It seemed the milk tea was ordered for her.
Mo Jingchen hung up the phone and quickly walked over to An Yiruo: "An'an, I'm sorry. I just took a call."
After saying that, Mo Jingchen sat down next to An Yiruo and reached out to open the takeout box on the table: "Are you hungry?"
"fine."
"Here, have a taste." Mo Jingchen handed her chopsticks and also put the straw in the milk tea next to An Yiruo.
After lunch, An Yiruo wanted to return to her office, but Mo Jingchen insisted that she stay there for a nap.
Mo Jingchen picked her up and carried her into the office lounge, where he placed An Yiruo on the large bed.
"Chen, I'm afraid I'll oversleep if I take a nap here!" An Yiruo looked at the surrounding environment and the comfortable bed, feeling quite hesitant.
"It's alright, I'll wake you up when it's time. Go to sleep." Mo Jingchen kissed An Yiruo's forehead, tucked her in, and thoughtfully drew the curtains.
An Yiruo set her alarm on her phone and then fell asleep peacefully. However, she didn't sleep very well and kept having nightmares. Seeing An Yiruo like this, Mo Jingchen reached out and held her hand, wanting to give her some sense of security.
Perhaps sensing the warmth of Mo Jingchen's hand, An Yiruo's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her breathing became even.
"An'an, don't worry. Mom will be fine," Mo Jingchen said softly, holding An Yiruo's hand.
Half an hour later, An Yiruo's phone alarm went off, but it wasn't An Yiruo who turned it off; it was Mo Jingchen.
He silenced An Yiruo's phone, covered her with the blanket again, left a tag on the bedside table, and reluctantly left the lounge.
"Come in for a moment."
"President."
"Go to the operations department and ask for leave for An'an," Mo Jingchen said to his assistant Zhou while looking at his computer.
"Yes, Mr. President."
Just as Assistant Zhou was about to leave, Mo Jingchen spoke again: "By the way, bring back An'an's things while you're at it."
"clear."
Mo Jingchen shifted his gaze from the computer screen to the watch on his wrist. He checked the time; it was time for the meeting. He stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and headed to the conference room.
An Yiruo was left alone in the lounge for her afternoon nap...
The operations department manager was puzzled by Assistant Zhou's sudden visit: "Assistant Zhou, what brings you to our operations department?"
The manager said with a smile, while pouring a glass of water for Assistant Zhou.
"No need to be so polite. I'm here to ask for leave for An Yiruo. She wasn't feeling well this afternoon, so..."
"It's alright, it's alright. Her health is the most important thing. I won't count it as an absence." The manager naturally understood that for a "star" like An Yiruo, he would agree to her request for leave, let alone paid leave!
"Alright, in that case, I won't disturb the manager's work any longer. I'll be going now." Assistant Zhou was satisfied with the manager's attitude, which saved him from wasting any more breath.
Back on the top floor, Assistant Zhou continued with his work, while Mo Jingchen was also in a meeting with senior management, but his eyes kept glancing at his phone, worried that An Yiruo might be scared sleeping alone in the lounge.
The more he thought about it, the less the meeting would continue. So Mo Jingchen stood up and interrupted the employee who had just given a report: "Meeting adjourned."
The sudden announcement of the meeting's adjournment left the employees stunned for a few seconds! But beyond the confusion, they were mostly overjoyed, having escaped another disaster!
Mo Jingchen quickly returned to his office, carefully opened the door to the lounge, and saw the person on the bed still fast asleep. Mo Jingchen's expression softened, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up...
Inside the operations department, Zhang Yuanyuan naturally understood why Assistant Zhou had taken An Yiruo's bag.
However, other employees like Dong Cheng were puzzled. If An Yi hadn't just been involved in a scandal with the president, why was Assistant Zhou personally coming to fetch her things now?
Dong Cheng witnessed all of this, his fists clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, he was furious, and he felt that An Yiruo was a promiscuous woman!
However, a sliver of reason remained in his heart, and he felt that An Yiruo must have some kind of hardship. Thinking of this, Dong Cheng relaxed his clenched fist slightly, and his expression returned to normal.
"Yuanyuan, what's going on with An Yiruo?" Some gossipy colleagues, knowing that An Yiruo was close to Zhang Yuanyuan, came to ask her for news.
"How would I know about other people's affairs?" Zhang Yuanyuan spread her hands, looking as if she knew nothing.
"How could that be? You two are inseparable!" Her colleagues knew she was lying.
"Don't pry into other people's business. Go back to work, or you'll get yelled at by the manager!"
Zhang Yuanyuan brought up the manager, which naturally made these people somewhat wary, so they left dejectedly.
"You, An Yiruo, skipping work to go on a date?" Zhang Yuanyuan sent a text message and then went back to work...
In the lounge, An Yiruo slowly woke up. Looking at the unfamiliar room, she remembered that this was Mo Jingchen's office. Picking up her phone, she saw the time displayed and suddenly sat up: "I set an alarm! How come it's already this early?"
So she threw off the covers, quickly got up, tidied her clothes, and pushed open the door to go out.
But An Yiruo never expected that there were other people in Mo Jingchen's office at this moment! And more than one!
Everyone's eyes turned to An Yiruo. If An Yiruo had a choice at this moment, she would definitely find the nearest hole to crawl into.
"Um, Mr. President. The room has been cleaned. If there are no other instructions, I'll be leaving now." An Yiruo made up a reason and ran out of Mo Jingchen's office as if she were escaping.
"This is so embarrassing, so embarrassing! How am I supposed to stay at the Mo Corporation now... Heavens, you can't play this kind of joke on me!" An Yiruo muttered softly as she stood a short distance from the door of Mo Jingchen's office.
"Madam, this is your bag. Please check if you've forgotten anything," Assistant Zhou said, getting up and walking towards An Yiruo with her belongings in his hand.
"My bag... how did it end up with you?" An Yiruo asked Zhou, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Here's the thing, this afternoon, the president asked me to ask for leave for you and also to retrieve your things."
