Chapter 39: Liking you is not an investment, and I don’t ask for anything in return
Bo Yishu always remembered that his internship period was not over yet.
This happens at home. He cooks a meal for Sheng Jing, and Sheng Jing has to give him a meal in return.
In the company, Sheng Jing completely regarded him as Mr. Bo. When he looked at him, his eyes were full of love for work, without any affection at all.
Sometimes, he wondered: Was she afraid of losing her job, so she had to deal with him?
But no matter what, you still have to create more opportunities for yourself.
"After get off work today, shall we go buy something for Zai Zai?"
When she heard Bo Yishu call her "Zi Zi", she finally looked up at him.
"What are you buying?"
She and Bo Yishu both loved buying things for Zaizai, so much so that Bo Yishu's house was filled with Zaizai's things.
"The bucket for the baby is too small. Get her a bigger one."
"Well, I'll just go buy it. You don't have to bother with that."
After she finished speaking, she felt that something seemed wrong with Bo Yishu's expression, and he looked a little helpless.
"What's wrong?"
Bo Yishu sighed and said, "Can't you see that I want to go shopping with you?"
Sheng Jing: “…”
"I see other people go shopping when they're in love."
"But we are..." We are not in a relationship yet.
The rest of his words were swallowed back because of Bo Yishu's gaze.
"All right."
Sheng Jing agreed.
She thought it would be a good idea to go shopping with Bo Yishu and see if she could buy some new things for her baby.
Seeing that she agreed, Bo Yishu curled his lips.
It's really not easy to make a date with her.
…………
Quan Siyuan finally arrived in the afternoon.
She worked a day yesterday, went on a shopping spree after get off work, and then was successfully late the next day.
Her lateness ruined her morning.
The HR department counted her as absent from work without reason.
"Absent from work without reason? Do you know who I am?"
"Quan Siyuan is the project supervisor for 'Qi Cheng', but he must also abide by the rules and regulations of the Gongmei Department. If he is absent from work without reason three times, the company will fire him."
Although the HR manager's forehead was covered with sweat, he still forced himself to finish what his boss had told him to do.
As a human resources manager, she certainly knew what was behind Quan Siyuan.
However, she was from the Academy of Fine Arts and needed to obey Bo Yishu.
Whatever Bo Yishu told her to do, she had to do it according to her boss's wishes.
Therefore, Quan Siyuan must be counted for this unexplained absence.
Quan Siyuan had never been treated so harshly in Dongteng. He rushed to Bo Yishu's office with the notice of absence without reason.
"Bo Yishu!"
Quan Siyuan's voice came through the office, and everyone looked towards Bo Yishu's office.
Seeing the angry Quan Siyuan, Bo Yishu remained calm. He put down his pen and looked at Quan Siyuan: "Producer Quan didn't ask for leave this morning, nor did he come to the company. Is there any special reason?"
"I……"
Quan Siyuan hadn't thought of a reason yet, so he was stumped by Bo Yishu's question.
"According to Gongmei's regulations, not coming to the company without prior leave is considered unexcused absence. If you're absent three times, you'll be fired. Does the supervisor have any other opinions?"
When Bo Yishu spoke, his voice was neither hurried nor loud, but he inexplicably had a sense of majesty.
Quan Siyuan was a little frightened by him.
She didn't say anything for a long time.
"Since the Supervisor Quan has nothing to say, then go back to your workstation now. You've been absent for half a day, so there must be a lot of work left to do. I hope the Supervisor Quan can complete his work conscientiously."
Bo Yishu gestured "please".
Quan Siyuan stormed out of Bo Yishu's office.
As soon as she came out, she saw a mountain of documents on her desk.
"Depend on--"
Miss Quan cursed out loud.
Others: I almost got internal injuries from trying so hard to hold back my laughter.
………
When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, everyone except Quan Siyuan turned off their computers on time and prepared to leave.
"You all left?"
Quan Siyuan hadn't finished his work yet, and when he saw that they were about to leave, he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Yes, Gongmei doesn't advocate meaningless overtime, so, all supervisors, finish early and leave work early."
The boss, Bo Yishu, is also about to leave work.
Quan Siyuan: “…”
Bo Yishu gave Sheng Jing a look, Sheng Jing nodded quietly, and then left the company one after another with Bo Yishu.
Bo Yishu's car was driven away by Lin Xiang, so when the two went out shopping, Bo Yishu rode in Sheng Jing's car.
Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered by people in the company, Bo Yishu took the initiative to suggest that he would go to the place where Sheng Jing got off the car before and wait for her so that she could pick him up.
Sheng Jing did as he was told.
However, when Bo Yishu sat in the passenger seat of Sheng Jing's car, Sheng Jing felt that his presence was too strong.
Last time, Bo Yishu came back from a business trip in her car, but things were different then.
At that time, they didn't argue about anything, and she just treated him as her boss.
And now…
He was tall and long-legged, which made her passenger seat seem a bit less spacious. He was wearing an expensive suit and had his seatbelt fastened on.
His clothes are worth as much as her car.
"Don't you want to drive? How about I do it?"
After Bo Yishu fastened his seat belt, he saw Sheng Jing glance at him several times.
He thought Sheng Jing didn't want to drive.
Sheng Jing shook his head and drove away.
After driving away, she asked Bo Yishu, "Where are we going to buy it?"
"Let's go to Shuangjiang Street first. There are many places to eat, drink and have fun there."
"Eat, drink and have fun?" Aren't they buying things for the kids?
Bo Yishu remained calm, "You have to shop around to figure out what to buy, don't you?"
Sheng Jing thought so too.
But I just feel something is a little weird.
The two of them went to Shuangjiang Street together. It was a commercial street, and there were indeed places for people to eat, drink, and have fun, and there were quite a few people there.
In order to find a parking space, Sheng Jing drove around for a long time before parking the car.
After parking the car, Sheng Jing and Bo Yishu got out together.
The two of them were a little dumbfounded when they looked at the people on the street.
Although Sheng Jing studied in Jiangcheng, she was busy making money throughout her college years and rarely went shopping.
Bo Yishu had been here before, but he came here to discuss business, not for sightseeing. This was the first time he came here for sightseeing.
Why are there so many tourists?
"Shall we continue shopping?"
Sheng Jing asked Bo Yishu.
"want."
He had spent so much time on this strategy and had finally managed to coax Sheng Jing out, so he couldn't let it go to waste.
The two walked into the main street.
Originally, the two were standing side by side, but there were too many people, and soon they were squeezed one in front of the other.
"Uncle."
Sheng Jing was pushed away and was a little anxious, so he called out to Bo Yishu.
Bo Yishu turned around, grabbed Sheng Jing's wrist with his big hand, and pulled her to his side.
Because there were so many people around, Sheng Jing was squeezed into Bo Yishu's arms.
Sheng Jing felt like he was pressed against Bo Yishu's chest.
The two of them had never been so close before.
Sheng Jing's ears were already burning red, and he didn't dare to look up at Bo Yishu.
Bo Yishu did not let her go, but put his arm around her shoulders and protected her as she walked forward.
Fortunately, after passing that section of the main road, there is a diversion road, so it is not so crowded.
Bo Yishu let her go, but in order not to get separated, the two walked forward side by side.
Sheng Jing only felt that the arm that touched Bo Yishu's shoulder became a little stiff.
"Sheng Jing."
After they walked for a while, Bo Yishu called her.
"ah?"
"Can I hold your hand?"
Just now he put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the crowd because he was forced by the situation.
But once he was able to walk away, he let her go.
And now, he and Sheng Jing were walking side by side.
Their bodies bumped into each other from time to time.
Bo Yishu was bold for once.
He didn't hear Sheng Jing's refusal and tried to hold Sheng Jing's hand.
Sheng Jing's hand moved slightly, but he didn't pull it away immediately.
Bo Yishu's heart finally settled down.
Fortunately, she didn't refuse.
"There's a handmade shop up ahead with a good reputation. Let's go check it out."
Bo Yishu walked forward holding Sheng Jing's hand.
Sheng Jing looked down at the two people holding hands, his heart pounding.
However, there is a feeling of not wanting to let go.
…………
They are neither at home nor at work.
Everyone around is a stranger.
Here, no one knows that he is Bo Yishu and she is Sheng Jing.
The two walked together holding hands, just like an ordinary couple.
This made Sheng Jing feel light and airy.
She was not stupid, so she naturally realized that Bo Yishu did not bring her here to buy things for Zizi, but wanted to go shopping with her.
Bo Yishu is a man with many tricks up his sleeve.
But it didn't make her feel disgusted.
He knew the limits of how he interacted with her, making her want to try to get closer to him.
If I were to date Bo Yishu, I would be very happy, right?
Amidst the huge crowd, scenes of Sheng Jing and Bo Yishu flashed through his mind.
The corners of his lips curved slightly upwards.
Bo Yishu turned his head slightly and saw a bright smiling face.
Her expression was usually dull and she seldom smiled, but now her eyebrows were slightly curved and the corners of her lips were turned up.
Only then did Bo Yishu feel that she and the bright and bold beautiful scenery in the game overlapped.
It was a good choice to choose Shengjing for shopping.
That’s it…the two of them shopped from beginning to end and didn’t buy a single thing.
This street is mainly for tourists to enjoy. There are many things on it, but none of them makes Shengjing feel excited.
The only thing that Sheng Jing felt he could afford was the handmade snowflake crisps.
At that time, Bo Yishu was holding her right hand. As soon as she stretched out her left hand, the taster stuffed a piece of food into her palm and asked her to taste it.
She couldn't refuse, so she took a small taste, found it surprisingly good, and bought a bag.
After that, the two of them ate and walked around.
When they reached the end of the street, they had finished their snowflake crisps.
But I haven’t bought anything for my baby yet.
The two of them came out to buy things for the baby, but now they are just strolling around and not buying anything for the baby.
The two looked at each other.
"There's a supermarket over there. Let's go to the supermarket."
"good."
Shopping in a supermarket is more purposeful than shopping on a commercial street.
Bo Yishu was responsible for pushing the cart, and Sheng Jing was responsible for carrying things.
"Let's go out and buy groceries later?"
Bo Yishu usually doesn't go shopping in the supermarket. If he wants something, he just places an order and has the supermarket deliver it.
But just now, he felt like he had missed a great opportunity to get along with Sheng Jing.
If two people are going to eat together, then of course they have to buy groceries together!
Such an interesting part was actually omitted by him before.
Sheng Jing didn't know what was going on in Bo Yishu's mind, so she said to him, "How about this? I'll be in charge of buying groceries. You're busy with work, and you have to go back to cook. I feel... a little bad about that."
In the past, Sheng Jing would never tell him this directly.
But now, Sheng Jing felt closer to him, and she could tell him her thoughts directly.
"Shopping for groceries is not a complicated task, and I can buy whatever I want to eat."
After Sheng Jing finished speaking, he felt that Bo Yishu's face didn't look very good.
"You... don't feel good?"
"That's fine." Everything was arranged, but he was not included.
What Bo Yishu said was very good, but Sheng Jing felt that his meaning was not very good.
"Uncle, I'm talking about when you're not free."
Bo Yishu had taken two steps forward when he stopped after hearing the sound.
But he didn't turn around.
Sheng Jing looked at his back and continued, "When you are busy, I will buy it. If you are not busy, we can buy it together."
Where Sheng Jing couldn't see, the corners of Bo Yishu's lips curled up.
"If we're both busy, let's order takeout."
Sheng Jing thought about it and decided that since she had already tried to take the next step with Bo Yishu, she couldn't let Bo Yishu do everything.
She also wanted to try to move forward a little.
As this matter concerns their future lifestyle, she felt that she should have a good discussion with Bo Yishu.
I just don’t know what Bo Yishu thinks.
"Uncle?"
Bo Yishu turned his head and looked at Sheng Jing: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
**
Zizi waited and waited, finally.
She waited for her father and mother to come back.
"Dad, Mom, you're finally back."
Sheng Jing and Bo Yishu had never come back so late at the same time before. Although they had given the little guy many instructions through Jingjing's surveillance, the little guy still missed them very much.
"Dad, Mom, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
The little guy turned into a sticky dumpling, sticking to Bo Yishu and Sheng Jing, and wouldn't let either of them leave.
Sheng Jing was fine, but Bo Yishu received a phone call.
By the way, when I went out today, Bo Yishu's phone didn't ring.
But after they finished shopping, Bo Yishu started answering calls and handling things in the car.
It must be because he wanted to go shopping, so he deliberately postponed all the things to the evening.
"Go ahead and do your work. I'm here."
Sheng Jing hugged Zizi's little face and whispered to Bo Yishu.
Bo Yishu really has something going on.
"I have a meeting."
Shengjing nodded and let him go.
Bo Yishu went into the house to attend a meeting. It was only after a while that Zizi realized that Bo Yishu was missing.
"Where's Daddy?"
"Dad has something to do and is busy."
"Baby misses daddy."
The little guy's mouth pouted and his eyes became tearful.
"Baby, Daddy has to work, Mommy will accompany you."
The little guy's tears were still falling "pat, pat", and the tears were like little pearls, falling one drop at a time.
Sheng Jing sighed.
"You little guy."
Sheng Jing put the little guy into the bucket. Today she and Bo Yishu went to buy a bigger bucket. After the little fat guy got in, he could move around a little.
The small bucket from before could no longer fit her tail.
Sheng Jing carried the little fat baby into the house.
“Daddy!!!”
As soon as Zizi saw Bo Yishu, he cried out loudly.
Bo Yishu turned around when he heard the voice.
On the phone.
"Who? I heard a child's voice."
Bo Yishu was talking on the phone with Ms. Chen Xinya.
Chen Xinya heard the word "Daddy".
"Bo Yishu, do you have a child outside?"
Bo Yishu: “…”
He covered his phone and quickly signaled Sheng Jing to take the baby away.
Sheng Jing realized that he had made a mistake and quickly took his baby out.
The baby didn't know what was going on and thought that her father didn't like her anymore, so she started crying immediately.
"Daddy, Daddy doesn't want the baby anymore."
"No, dear."
The little guy's tears and blood bar fell down together.
"Baby, Daddy has something to do, it doesn't mean he doesn't want you anymore."
But no matter how Sheng Jing tried to coax him, Zizi was still very sad.
Seeing that the health bar was about to turn red, Bo Yishu hung up the phone and came out.
"Cub."
Bo Yishu called her sternly, and Zizi immediately stopped crying and looked at Bo Yishu with tears in her eyes.
Bo Yishu wanted to scold her, but seeing her pitiful appearance, how could he have the heart to scold her?
He squatted down and pinched the baby's little face.
"Dad just went to answer a phone call, how can that mean he doesn't love me anymore?"
The little guy pouted and stretched out his arms to be held by Bo Yishu.
Bo Yishu took a look at the grand scene.
Both of them thought that Zizi's reaction was a bit strange, but now was not the time to ask her.
Bo Yishu patiently coaxed the little guy and calmed his emotions.
He is a very patient person. The little girl was very insecure at first, but after a while, her emotions stabilized and she fell asleep. Her health bar was also rising.
Sheng Jing's heart finally settled down.
This little guy is really scary.
"Did I just make a mistake?"
Only after the little guy fell asleep did Sheng Jing dare to talk serious matters with Bo Yishu.
She had originally planned to take her cub to look at Bo Yishu from a distance, but who knew that the cub would scream so loudly.
It seemed like Bo Yishu was on the phone just now.
"You didn't make any mistakes, but this might be a little troublesome."
"What trouble?"
"My mom heard Zizi calling me."
Bo Yishu pinched his brows and said, "She thought I found a woman with a child."
This train of thought is the same as Gan Yu's.
After Gan Yu saw that the person was Sheng Jing, he stopped asking about the child.
However, for Ms. Chen Xinya, she did not know that Bo Yishu was pursuing splendor.
She thought he was going to be a father.
"What should we do then?"
When it comes to matters concerning Zaizai, Sheng Jing gets a little panicked.
"She won't come to Jiang City."
Sheng Jing's heart just fell, and he heard him say: "But she will definitely let my sister come to check."
Sheng Jing: “…”
Sheng Jing had met his sister before. She was a queen with a very strong aura.
"Then I'll pack up and find another place tomorrow."
"During this period, we should try not to see each other after get off work. I will raise the cub alone."
Sheng Jing made the decision without hesitation.
When Bo Yishu heard her decision, he was both angry and amused.
"Are you going to abandon me just because you encounter such a small problem?"
Sheng Jing listened to his words, feeling a little confused.
She had no intention of abandoning him.
There was a hint of grievance in her eyes when she looked at Bo Yishu.
Bo Yishu met her gaze, sighed, and said, "Ajing, I'm here if you need help."
Sheng Jing pursed his lips for a long moment, then asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"I want to introduce you to my sister."
Sheng Jing pursed his lips.
They haven't confirmed their relationship yet. Isn't it too early to introduce her to his family now?
As soon as Bo Yishu saw her conflicted expression, he knew what she meant.
"I know what you mean. I will arrange it. Don't worry."
When Bo Yishu said this, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't seem angry.
But Sheng Jing inexplicably felt that he should be angry.
Sheng Jing bit his lip and watched Bo Yishu put the baby in the pool to sleep. Then he stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed."
After Bo Yishu finished speaking, he prepared to go into the house.
"etc."
Sheng Jing called out to Bo Yishu.
Her voice was a little weak, and there was a hint of caution: "Are you angry?"
Bo Yishu didn't turn around, but he didn't say anything either.
Sheng Jing felt that he must be angry.
"I, I'm sorry, I'm a bit slow to warm up."
Sheng Jing felt that he should explain to him.
If he can accept it, then they can try to get along, but if he can't accept it, then it's time to end it to avoid embarrassment later.
"I feel very happy to be in contact with you these days, but I know that you have been working hard."
Whether Bo Yishu likes her or not, he is a good person.
Such a person will feel comfortable no matter who is with him or taken care of by him.
But on the other hand, she didn't give him much feedback.
Sheng Jing knew what kind of person she was, and she couldn't give him deep and passionate love in a short period of time.
"If you can't wait, we can..."
Before Sheng Jing could finish her words, she was embraced by Bo Yishu.
"I can wait."
Sheng Jing opened his eyes slightly.
This is not outside, this is Bo Yishu's home.
The baby was sleeping not far away.
Their embrace here made her heart beat faster than holding hands on a street full of strangers.
"But I'm also a little angry."
After hearing his words, Sheng Jing finally came to his senses and wanted to look up at him, but Bo Yishu held him down and he couldn't move in his arms.
"Do you know why I'm angry?"
Sheng Jing shook his head.
"Because you always think about me."
Sheng Jing was stunned when he heard what he said.
"No matter what happens, your first reaction is to abandon me."
Sheng Jing wanted to explain: "That's not what I meant."
She wanted to... she felt that Bo Yishu was too good and she was a little scared.
Fear that I can't love you back in the same way.
Love is different from money.
She can work hard to earn money, but love...
She was worried that she couldn't give equal weight of love.
"A Jing."
Bo Yishu rubbed his chin against her head and whispered, "I don't mind if I give a little more, wait for you a little longer, and love you a little more."
"Because liking you is never an investment. I don't need you to return it. All you need is to not push me away when I hold you tight. That's enough."
