"What are you drawing these pictures for?" Chen Ningsheng asked, his brow furrowed as he looked at the drawings Xu Xinchen had made, clearly puzzled.
Xu Xinchen snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Chen Ningsheng: "Ah, this, this, um, it's a secret for now, you'll find out later."
Xu Xinchen had a plan in mind, but the time was not right yet, and she had not prepared everything she needed to. Therefore, she did not intend to tell Chen Linningsheng now.
She didn't want to disappoint Chen Ningsheng if she didn't do a good job, and she also didn't want Chen Ningsheng to get involved in this matter just to help her, since Chen Ningsheng was already troubled by his own problems.
When Chen Ningsheng heard Xu Xinchen say that she was keeping it a secret from him, a slight disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said softly to Xu Xinchen with a smile, "My baby really hurts my heart, she actually kept it a secret from me."
That's what they said, but Chen Ningsheng didn't intend to force Xu Xinchen to reveal her plans. After all, it wasn't about leaving him or being with another man. Xu Xinchen could do whatever she wanted; he would tell her when she wanted to.
Xu Xinchen chuckled softly, not responding to Chen Ningsheng's words, but thinking to herself, "If I don't keep it a secret from you, you'll definitely help me in secret, and then you'll be exhausted."
Not wanting Chen Ningsheng to continue dwelling on these blueprints, Xu Xinchen reached out and tugged at Chen Ningsheng's wrist. "Are you leaving work now? If you are, will you come with me somewhere?"
Xu Xinchen wanted Chen Ningsheng to accompany her to a clothing store to buy her two new outfits. While the old ones were still usable, it was a new company, and she wanted to present a fresh image for the rest of her life—a way of saying goodbye to her past self.
When Chen Ningsheng heard that Xu Xinchen wanted him to go out with her, it was of no interest to him. He completely ignored the documents on the table and nodded to Xu Xinchen quite naturally: "Of course, let's go."
Xu Xinchen wasn't wearing a watch, so she turned her head towards Chen Ningsheng and glanced at the watch on his wrist: "It's only three o'clock now. It's not good for you to skip work so early. How about we wait until it's time to leave together?"
“And…” Xu Xinchen said, turning her gaze to Chen Ningsheng’s desk, where she saw several stacks of files piled high. “Have you finished all your work? If not, why don’t you finish it first?”
Chen Ningsheng gently tapped Xu Xinchen's nose: "It's okay, I can go out with you anytime. You don't need to worry about the work either. I don't have the habit of procrastinating. I've already finished everything that needs to be done within a certain time limit. It's okay to take a day or two longer for the rest."
Xu Xinchen nodded slightly, not doubting Chen Ningsheng's words. Chen Ningsheng was indeed a very principled person, and he was also very efficient, always striving to complete things ahead of schedule rather than delaying them until the last minute.
Since he said those things weren't urgent, then they really weren't urgent. Therefore, Xu Xinchen felt relieved and happily took Chen Ningsheng to skip work.
As for whether their actions would set a bad example for others in the company, Xu Xinchen said that Chen Ningsheng is the boss, and even if others in the company found out about this, they wouldn't dare to follow Chen Ningsheng's example and do such a thing.
The two walked out of the office hand in hand. Chen Ningsheng had someone drive the car downstairs and pulled Xu Xinchen down the stairs. The employees in the company who noticed their actions stared at them with envy and jealousy.
Watching Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen leave, an employee couldn't help but say with anticipation, "Being a boss and his wife is so wonderful. I also hope that I can be a boss in the future, and have a day like that, where I can work whenever I want and skip work whenever I don't want to."
Someone next to her poured cold water on her idea: "Don't think too much about it. The boss's intelligence and emotional intelligence are beyond our reach. Just honestly follow the boss and learn from him for a while. Maybe you can get promoted to a higher position in the future. Daydreaming is not a good idea."
The employee who had turned his back to him looked back with a resentful expression: "Don't undermine my confidence. I believe that as long as I work hard, this day will definitely come."
The person who wanted to bring the employee to his senses shook his head helplessly and said in a knowing tone, "Youth is really great. You can dream without restraint. When you reach my age, you'll understand that some people are just born special and can't be caught up with by others no matter how hard they try."
Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen couldn't hear the gossip behind their backs at all, but even if they had, they probably wouldn't have cared. After all, there are indeed inherent differences between people in this world.
Xu Xinchen followed Chen Ningsheng to a small clothing store, which had a wide variety of clothes hanging inside.
Besides the alien-themed women's work suits that are quite common now, there are also some handmade suits.
Chen Ningsheng, who had been forcibly dragged into the store, looked at Xu Xinchen in surprise: "Is this the place you said we were coming to?"
Xu Xinchen turned her head and looked around the store. Seeing that there were many kinds of food, she nodded in satisfaction.
Hearing Chen Ningsheng's question, she looked at him with great surprise: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with coming to this store?"
Chen Ningsheng frowned slightly. "You want to buy clothes? If so, I can have someone custom-make a set for you. There's no need to come to these stores; the clothes here all look pretty..."
Chen Ningsheng didn't say what he was supporting, but the obvious disdain on his face made Xu Xinchen realize what he was thinking.
Xu Xinchen couldn't help but reach out and pat Chen Ningsheng on the shoulder: "Alright, stop making that face. You need to think about where I'm going to work. If I go into the company and the people there see that I'm wearing a custom-made suit while they're wearing ordinary suits from a store, how am I supposed to fit in?"
