"No need, I have a lot of work to do. Sorry, the money has already been transferred to you."
Jiang Tian didn't say much to him, then turned around and went into her room with her computer.
Knowing she was a workaholic, Ling Qingyue felt a little displeased that she would even skip meals for work.
He took the money and planned to go out and pack some things for Jiang Tian.
But when the waiter asked him what he wanted to pack, he belatedly realized that he didn't know Jiang Tian's tastes.
Previously, when the two of them ate together, he always did things according to his wishes.
Ling Qingyue felt guilty.
He tried hard to recall the moments he had eaten with Jiang Tian, and ordered a few light dishes, since she probably couldn't handle spicy food.
After bringing back a full load of food, Ling Qingyue knocked on Jiang Tian's door.
It took her a long time to open it.
Ling Qingyue handed her the still-warm lunchbox: "Eat a little before you finish cooking. There's no way the work will be finished. The old man has no idea how hard you work for him."
Ling Qingyue was surprised to see the look of astonishment in Jiang Tian's eyes.
What's wrong with this woman? Is he really that heartless? They're roommates, after all. He can't just watch her go hungry; he should go eat by himself.
"Thank you, young master. I will tell the chairman about your concern for me. He should be very pleased."
Ling Qingyue's expression changed instantly.
This woman really knows how to make him lose his appetite in a second.
He handed her the lunchbox, a little impatiently: "Tell whoever you want, but don't forget to finish your food."
"Wait, young master."
Seeing him turn to leave, Jiang Tian called out to him.
Ling Qingyue's mood immediately improved; it wasn't easy for this woman to tell that he was angry.
"Is there anything else?" Ling Qingyue deliberately kept a straight face.
“Starting today, you need to be in bed by 10:30 p.m., and I will supervise you. If your room light is still on at that time, I will knock on the door.”
Ling Qingyue's expression immediately fell.
He looked at Jiang Tian in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm serious. The chairman instructed me that you need a healthy lifestyle to ensure you have plenty of energy. As your secretary, I will take on the responsibility of reminding you of this."
Ling Qingyue gave a cold laugh; she was no longer in the mood for anything.
He curled his lips expressionlessly: "Do as you please."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Ling Qingyue was really angry.
The thought of how he had gone to great lengths to order food for her, fearing she wouldn't like it, only to find that this woman was only concerned with the old man's words and was imposing her demands on him, made him furious.
He didn't fall asleep all night, not even at 10:30 pm, and not until the early hours of the morning.
However, to prevent Jiang Tianzhen from knocking on his door, Ling Qingyue turned off the lights early.
He watched the live stream for a while, then turned off his phone, feeling somewhat annoyed.
He sat up in bed, intending to get a drink of water and calm down.
Looking at the clock, it was already past midnight. He guessed that Jiang Tian was asleep, but as soon as Ling Qingyue walked into the living room, he found that the light in Jiang Tian's room was still on.
Ling Qingyue stopped in his tracks. He knew he should ignore Jiang Tian, finish his water, and go back to his room to sleep, instead of paying attention to that woman who only followed the old man's orders.
But his feet wouldn't obey him at all, and by the time he realized it, he was already standing at the door of Jiang Tian's room.
Ling Qingyue was about to knock on the door, but as soon as she put her hand on it, the door opened a crack.
She didn't even close the door; this woman trusts him far too much.
Ling Qingyue glanced around the room and saw the figure sleeping on the computer desk.
From his perspective, Jiang Tian was surprisingly frail.
Ling Qingyue tried to pretend he hadn't seen it, but he couldn't bring himself to leave.
Ling Qingyue paused for a few seconds, gritted her teeth, gently pushed the door open wider, and silently entered.
Jiang Tian was fast asleep, but Ling Qingyue felt uncomfortable seeing her sleeping face down on the table.
Alright, I guess I'll have to see this through to the end.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Qingyue slowly bent down, trying to pick her up in a way that would not disturb her as much as possible, and carried her to bed.
He held his breath, carefully wrapped his arms around Jiang Tian's waist, and lifted her up.
Surprisingly light.
Ling Qingyue subconsciously glanced at the lunchbox that he had specially packed and delivered.
Sure enough, it wasn't even opened from Kaifeng; no wonder it's so thin.
Ling Qingyue felt a lump in his throat, but he still did what he was supposed to do.
With the most steady steps of his life, he placed Jiang Tian on the bed.
Seeing that she only slightly furrowed her brows and did not open her eyes, Ling Qingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He could have finished perfectly with just this, but when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Tian's attire, Ling Qingyue hesitated again.
He didn't know how much work this woman had; she didn't even seem to have changed her clothes.
But... it would definitely be uncomfortable to sleep in this kind of work uniform.
Ling Qingyue's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He knew very well that carrying Jiang Tian to bed was already going too far.
After all, the two people have no relationship whatsoever.
If you were to help her take off her clothes, that would be even more inappropriate.
Besides, he's a young master; how could he take off his clothes for a woman?
He can't be so spineless!
Three seconds later, Ling Qingyue sat down on the edge of Jiang Tian's bed, carefully placed her legs on his own, and began to take off her socks.
He didn't touch my clothes, but he helped me take off my socks; that's more than enough.
Ling Qingyue reminded himself that he was just happy to help others and had no other intentions.
After finally managing to remove one of them, Ling Qingyue was covered in sweat.
