How did Chapter 68 come about——Why do you care about me?!
"Ignore that person." Si Yan finished his shower and lay down on the bed, his body scented with cedar shower gel. He stretched out his long arms and scooped up Su Nian, who was curled up in a daze. His warm palms gently caressed her lower back, his fingertips tracing the curve of her spine.
"Hmm?" Su Nian looked up in a daze, and the ends of her hair brushed across his neck, scratching it like a feather.
"That colleague, that annoying female colleague you mentioned," Si Yan took a deep breath and pecked the top of her head. "Just ignore her. She's not worth your attention."
"Yeah, I get it." Su Nian nuzzled into his arms, her voice muffled, "But tomorrow our design department has a meeting to discuss next quarter's new products. What if she provokes me in public again? I have to make some preparations."
Si Yan pinched her waist with his fingertips and sighed with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Work is during the day, now-" He emphasized his tone and rested his chin on her, "This time belongs to me."
Su Nian was amused by his jealous look and looked up at his eyes so close to her: "I didn't expect Professor Si to be jealous too, even about his work."
Si Yan raised his eyebrows and scratched the tip of her nose with his fingertips, a smile hidden in his eyes: "You just found out?"
He added silently in his heart - It's no wonder that you are slow-witted. I am jealous of more than just my work.
Chen Ran felt a little proud in his heart, humming a cheerful little tune as he paced around the living room, even his steps had a bit of a joyful rhythm.
He opened the refrigerator door and took out a bag of sealed Chinese medicine - this was the conditioning prescription prescribed by Si Yan.
I have finished my last dose of stomach medicine a long time ago, and now the stomach discomfort has disappeared. This medicine is specially used to regulate the intestines. After drinking it for a few days, I feel an indescribable smoothness all over my body.
He placed the medicine bag in the microwave and set the heating time. A few seconds later, a soft "ding" sound echoed in the kitchen. Chen Ran removed the warm medicine bag, cut a small opening, and poured it into a white porcelain bowl. He tilted his head back and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
It’s strange to say, the medicine that I used to find bitter and hard to swallow now tastes a little sweet.
His good mood deepened. He turned, put on his apron again, and went into the kitchen. Soon, he had cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, golden egg droplets floating in the red broth. He sat alone at the dining table, eating slowly, a faint smile on his face.
Today was his daughter's first day at work. She accepted the snacks he gave her, and Chen Ran felt very happy when he thought about it.
Although I haven't recognized my daughter yet, I will one day, so there's no rush.
He picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and couldn't help muttering in his heart: This kid is too troublesome. He doesn't even have time to eat when he is working.
But then again, this is quite similar to me.
In the afternoon, Lan Ting said to herself that this child has solid professional knowledge and novel ideas, and is indeed a good material.
Thinking about how his daughter had grown up to be so outstanding despite the absence of fatherly love over the years, Chen Ran felt both relieved and sad, and his eyes were slightly warm.
He put down his chopsticks, rubbed the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, and his eyes gradually became firm: In the future, you must take medicine well, go to bed on time, eat well, live longer, longer, and see your daughter well by your side, and see her go on safely and smoothly.
He also remembered that when he got off work in the evening, his daughter subtly retorted to the colleague who bullied her.
He felt a little distressed when he saw the dignified and selfless spirit - without a father to protect him, the child had to grow armor on his own.
I couldn't help but secretly praise him, this is good! He didn't let anyone bully him, he has backbone.
The next morning, Su Nian was gently shaken awake by Si Yan. She groggily opened her eyes and reached for her phone beside her pillow. The time on the screen made her sit up instantly. "Ah! It's so late? Why didn't the alarm go off?"
"Don't worry, I called you on time, there's still time." He wanted her to sleep a little longer, and Si Yan turned off the alarm clock.
After Su Nian finished her breakfast under Si Yan's supervision and was sent downstairs to Chen's Clothing Company, she still had plenty of time.
Professor Si is indeed reliable.
Su Nian walked into the lobby of Chen's Clothing Company wearing off-white flat shoes, waved and smiled at the girl at the front desk, turned and walked to the elevator area to wait quietly.
There was a slight commotion at the elevator entrance. Chen Ran and his special assistant, Fang Shuo, approached. Everyone waiting for the elevator exchanged glances. "Why is Director Chen here so early today?"
The crowd immediately greeted each other in unison: "Good morning, Mr. Chen!" "Good morning, Assistant Fang!"
Su Nian also smiled and greeted softly: "Mr. Chen, Special Assistant Fang."
An elevator on the inside opened with a ding, and the car was empty.
Chen Ran and Fang Shuo walked in, while everyone else tacitly stopped where they were and continued to wait.
Seeing this, Su Nian had to quietly retract his foot, which had just taken half a step.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, it suddenly opened again. Fang Shuo leaned out and raised his chin towards her. "Su Nian, come in for a moment. I have something to ask you."
Su Nian was stunned for a moment, her heart full of doubts - what could Assistant Fang want from her? But she still walked in quickly.
The moment the elevator door closed again, she caught a glimpse of the people outside and saw their expressions become a little subtle, with surprise, curiosity, and a hint of inexplicable inquiry.
"Don't be nervous." Fang Shuo pressed the button for the 21st floor and explained with a smile, "It's okay for me to come to you. This elevator is more spacious, so I asked you to come in."
Su Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to the two of them: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, and thank you, Special Assistant Fang."
Chen Ran had a gentle smile on his face and his eyes fell on her: "Are you used to it at the company yesterday?"
"Well, I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your concern." Su Nian nodded and gently grasped the strap of her shoulder bag with her fingertips.
As we were talking, the elevator had reached the 21st floor and the door slowly slid open.
Su Nian smiled at the two of them and said, "Then I'll go out first." Then she quickly walked out of the elevator.
As soon as I entered the design department office, Li Ruoyi's voice drifted over with a piercing tone: "Hey, Su Nian, why are you here so late today? After that handsome guy sent you home yesterday, why won't he send you to work today?"
Wen Xiaoqiao immediately joined in, his eyes scanning her: "That's right, looking at your hurried steps, you didn't come here by subway, did you?" The two of them sang in unison, and the teasing in their tone could not be hidden.
Su Nian walked to her workstation, put down her shoulder bag, and adjusted the corner of her clothes with her fingertips. The smile on her face did not fade, but her tone was neither soft nor hard: "On time? I arrived ten minutes earlier than the scheduled working time."
She paused, her eyes scanning the two of them, "As for how I got here?"
As soon as Su Nian said these mysterious words, Li Ruoyi and Wen Xiaoqiao's attention was obviously drawn to her, and they were waiting for her to continue.
"——What do you care about me?!" Su Nian suddenly said this, taking everyone by surprise.
The expressions on their faces when they were teased were so cute!
Li Yue and Fang Xia, who had just walked into the office, obviously heard this conversation. They exchanged helpless looks and shook their heads tacitly.
When Su Nian saw the two of them, she immediately smiled brightly, "Good morning!"
"Good morning, Su Nian!" The two responded with a smile.
Su Nian pulled out a chair and sat down, turning on the computer quickly and decisively, as if the two sharp jokes just now had never happened.
The morning light shone through the blinds onto her, soft and bright, making the two men's grumbling after being humiliated seem particularly petty.
