The sun was already shining on their butts, but the two people hugging each other tightly in the quilt showed no intention of waking up. Instead, they slept soundly and harmoniously.
Last night, these two people, who had a total of 800 minds, fought openly and secretly for a long time. She attacked and he defended, she escaped and he chased, and it was already late when they were exhausted and fell asleep.
Late at night, with the stars and the moon accompanying each other, their breaths intertwined, they sleep in each other's arms.
During this period, Xia Peini, who had been studying "The Secret of Chasing a Husband", made loving meals for Ye Chen in various ways every day. No matter whether he ate them or not, she would deliver them on time every day. Everyone in the company knew her and even cheered her on. After receiving the encouragement, she became more confident.
But on this day, a small accident happened.
She was walking into Ye's door with great enthusiasm, and the girl at the front desk looked as if she had eaten bitter melon when she saw her.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?"
Xia Penny was curious.
The receptionist seemed to have something to hide, and after a while she said, "Why don't you put the food at the front desk and I'll bring it up for you later."
"No need, I can just take it myself, and I can even take a look at him while I'm there."
When talking about him, one can't forget to have starry eyes.
"Um... Mr. Xiao Ye, he's still in a meeting. You won't be able to see him even if you go there."
Xia Penny didn't think so: "It's okay, I can wait for him later."
"Eh...that..." The receptionist couldn't make up any more stories.
Seeing the embarrassed question on the front desk lady's face, and thinking about the delicious meals she brought every day, she seemed to understand.
"Oh~~~" Xia Penny deliberately stretched out her voice, leaning close to her and whispering slyly, "Are you greedy because you see me delivering loving meals to Ye Chen every day? But today's one won't do. Tomorrow, I'll bring you an extra one, okay?"
The receptionist was about to cry: "That's not what I meant..."
Xia Penny thought she was embarrassed: "I understand, I understand everything..."
Xia Penny winked at her and glanced at her watch: "It's getting late, I have to go upstairs, see you tomorrow!"
“Hey!”
As a result, the person disappeared in an instant.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw that the conference room was empty.
The meeting is over so soon? Just in time...
She walked excitedly into Ye Chen's office and stretched out her hand to greet everyone, but everyone's eyes were so strange, just like the front desk lady's, as if they were fed up with the bitterness of bitter melon. Was she required to drink bitter melon juice at work today?
She came to the door of Ye Chen's office and was about to open it when she heard laughter from inside.
She leaned over and put her ear to the door, frowning. The person inside seemed to be a woman.
Is this the reason why everyone is so weird today?
She looked at everyone with grievance, and everyone nodded, shrugged, and spread their hands.
In the office
Ye Chen was chatting happily with the woman in front of him. He stretched out his arm, looked at his watch, and then looked at the door.
It’s already twelve o’clock…
The man noticed his movements and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, are you waiting for someone?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and then denied it: "No."
Then he picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.
At this time, Xia Penny was carrying Ye Chen's lunch and asking his colleagues about the female voice that appeared inside.
It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but once I did I felt disappointed.
It turned out that there was a rumor going around the company these days that the girl had just returned from abroad and had come back specifically for a blind date with Ye Chen. They were now in the getting-to-know-you stage, and if they got along well and felt they were a good match, they would get married.
She originally wanted to walk away, but she was unwilling to do so. She had worked so hard to pursue the person for so long, why should others cut in line and take the back door!
Besides, what if it was a misunderstanding? What if it was just a rumor spread by everyone? This possibility is not ruled out.
So she wiped away her unshed tears, turned proudly and walked towards the unknown door.
This time she didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in, startling the two people inside.
She saw two people talking and laughing on the sofa at a glance. The girl was smiling like a flower and was about to lean on Ye Chen. Ye Chen didn't seem to reject it either, with a smile on his face. The scene was very harmonious for a while.
As soon as she came in, their laughter stopped abruptly, as if she had broken the harmony.
"Chen, your company's employees are so unruly. They don't even know to knock before entering your office?"
The girl sat on the sofa, leaning against Ye Chen, and complained as she watched Xia Penny break into the room.
Ye Chen sat up straighter and looked at her: "She doesn't..."
Before Ye Chen could finish his words, Xia Penny said unhappily, "I'm not an employee here."
The girl insisted: "Then why are you here?"
Xia Penny retorted: "You are not an employee here, so why are you here?"
The girl smiled shyly, turned her head to look at Ye Chen with affection, and said tenderly, as if deliberately playing tricks, "Then you have to ask him..."
Xia Peini didn't even look at Ye Chen, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't ask, I don't want to know."
She held the thermos awkwardly, scratching it with her nails.
She placed the thermos in her hand on the table in front of them, then met Ye Chen's gaze and pouted, "This is for you, but you probably don't need it anymore. If you don't need it, don't return it to me. Throw it away or give it to someone else. Deal with it yourself."
With a stubborn look on his face, he left without looking back.
"Yeah, let's go!"
The girl stuck out her tongue playfully.
Ye Chen didn't say anything, just looked at the door.
"Don't look, everyone's gone!"
"So this is why you didn't go to dinner with me?"
