When Wen Shuqiao woke up the next day, she was still sitting on the bed, not quite in a daze. The events of the previous night were still vivid in her mind. She pressed her temples in distress.
Ouch, my head hurts.
I was completely intoxicated last night; I can't drink like that again next time.
Wen Shuqiao stretched, threw off the covers and got out of bed. She opened the curtains, and several rays of sunlight rushed to fall on her, making her sparkle.
It's rare to see weather like this in winter.
After opening the windows to let in fresh air and washing up, Wen Shuqiao slipped on her slippers and went downstairs.
It was only a little past seven in the morning. I thought no one was downstairs, but when I went down, I saw Shen Jiazhou sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
After putting his neat suit back on, Wen Shuqiao realized that today was the first day of Shen Jiazhou's company resuming work.
He's really drunk.
Shen Jiazhou hadn't expected her to get up so early. His eyes brightened slightly as he put down the milk in his hand: "You got up so early? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Wen Shuqiao shook her head and continued walking: "Are you going to the company so early?"
I don't start work at nine o'clock, so leaving now is probably a bit too early.
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Today is the first day back to work, I have to go first and set an example."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh, and Shen Jiazhou snorted, "All you do is laugh."
Wen Shuqiao walked to the dining table and said, "Thank you for yesterday."
Shen Jiazhou raised an eyebrow: "You remember?"
"Yes, I remember. What's wrong?" Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment. Apart from being half asleep in the car and not being able to remember clearly, she remembered everything else very clearly.
Shen Jiazhou slowly took another sip of milk and asked, "So you remember what you said yesterday, that you would take responsibility for me?"
"Take responsibility for you?" Wen Shuqiao was stunned. Was there such a thing? She didn't remember it.
Shen Jiazhou watched her deep in thought and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. However, when she looked over, he pretended to be a little sad: "...You just said you remembered everything, but you did something bad to me and then forgot about it."
"What did I do?" Wen Shuqiao really couldn't remember.
Shen Jiazhou had already gotten up from his chair, walked to Wen Shuqiao's side, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, rubbed against her a couple of times, and then continued, "You said you would hug me like this every day."
Wen Shuqiao understood, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and pat Shen Jiazhou's waist: "You're starting to make things up, aren't you?"
Shen Jiazhou wasn't angry at being slapped; he just tightened his grip on his arm, refusing to admit it: "I didn't, you did say it."
"I'm a bit tipsy, not stupid." Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but slap him again: "Didn't I say I wouldn't break the rules? President Shen, you don't seem to have much credibility."
Shen Jiazhou grumbled, "I'm just reenacting the scene..."
This didn't happen, so what kind of scenario is this?
Wen Shuqiao was helpless. She said, "President Shen, I never realized you were so prone to whining. It seems that Can Can has been taught how to be a spoiled child."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiazhou opened his mouth and bit Wen Shuqiao through her pajamas. It didn't hurt, but it felt a little strange.
"Ouch... What are you doing?" Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but slap him on the side again: "Are you a puppy? You even bite people."
Shen Jiazhou was getting clingy right now; he just wanted to hug Wen Shuqiao and even bite her. Like a cat to catnip, he was completely powerless against it. Being close to her, hugging her, and pressing against her made him feel completely soothed.
"Wen Shuqiao..." Shen Jiazhou mumbled her name.
Wen Shuqiao looked somewhat helpless: "What?"
"Like me a little more," Shen Jiazhou murmured, inhaling her scent. "I won't allow you to not like me..."
Wen Shuqiao blinked lightly. She wanted to see Shen Jiazhou's face, but Shen Jiazhou buried his face in her shoulder, completely obscuring it.
She ignored his expression, casually placing one hand on his waist, and deliberately said, "Mr. Shen, that's quite domineering of you. Besides, we're not even together yet, and you're already whining and acting all cute every day. What will happen when we're together? I think I need to think this through... Ouch, why are you biting me again?"
This time the bite was a bit harder than before, as if punishing her for saying something unpleasant.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Don't talk nonsense. Say it again. If you don't say it nicely, I'll bite you."
When Wen Shuqiao recalled Shen Jiazhou's words about the man-eating flower that day, a hint of amusement crept into her voice: "Mr. Man-eating Flower, you're being a bit unreasonable."
When Can Can hears something she doesn't like, she only gets angry for a moment, and then she's fine.
Why is this big one biting people?
Wen Shuqiao continued, "Why is there such a big difference in you? You're starting to miss the time when we weren't familiar with each other, when you would just say 'Good morning, Miss Wen' when you saw me. Instead of now, you make up a sentence and put it on my head, then hug me and won't let go, oh, and you even bite me."
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but chuckle to himself upon hearing this, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Alright, you've hugged me and acted cute enough. You should continue eating and go out. I'm going to check on Can Can." Wen Shu Qiao patted him again.
Shen Jiazhou reluctantly let go of her, and Wen Shuqiao stretched her shoulders: "Go and have breakfast, where's Aunt Zhang?"
"I went to buy groceries." Shen Jiazhou continued, "Are you going to the studio today?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "I'll go later. I'll write a resignation letter later and bring it with me."
She's just a junior assistant now, and she can leave within three business days of submitting her resignation letter to HR.
Before leaving, Wen Shuqiao wanted to wander around City A by herself. She had been here for so long, but she hadn't had a chance to properly experience the city. In two days, Cancan would be going to kindergarten, and she would have even more time to herself.
There were also things to do, like learning to drive and renovating the house; there were more things to do than she had imagined, and she had to sort them all out before leaving home.
Upon hearing that Wen Shuqiao wanted to resign, Shen Jiazhou could hardly suppress the corners of his mouth: "Fine, anyway, the returns from the investments I made for you are enough for your daily needs."
Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "Thank you, President Shen. You're amazing."
Shen Jiazhou was secretly pleased, but he still said aloud, "All you do is flatter me all day long."
"You seem pretty happy." Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement. "Your smile hasn't faded at all."
Shen Jiazhou tilted his head: "I told you, seeing you makes me happy."
Wen Shuqiao was taken aback by this sudden attack of sweet words. She turned around and said, "I can't be bothered with you."
As Shen Jiazhou watched her walk towards the children's room with feigned composure, his smile deepened.
She was clearly just shy.
