Chapter 157 Really Gave Up



I played games with Tang Qi from 10 to 11 p.m.

I accompanied Xue Xiaodie for a walk from 11 p.m. to almost midnight.

After midnight, around 1 a.m., he avoided Tang Qi and Xue Xiaodie, went out, and went upstairs to Xia Xiaobing's residence. The reason he went there was that he had already received a WeChat message from President Xia while playing games with the young lady.

"Is everything alright tonight? Come over, I want to discuss some work-related matters with you."

Since the boss has brought up discussing work, it's naturally hard to refuse...

As soon as he entered, he saw Xia Xiaobing wearing a sheer nightgown. To be precise, in addition to the sheer nightgown, she was also wearing a pair of black stockings that perfectly showcased her slender and curvaceous figure.

Lu Zheyi said sternly, "President Xia, this is really too late. Even overtime work doesn't go this late!"

The mature woman wrapped her long arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "How can this be considered overtime when it's clearly leisure and entertainment outside of work?"

Lu Zhe: "But..."

Xia Xiaobing: "Hehe, you're already like this, why are you still saying 'but'? Come in with me."

She chuckled softly and pulled him into the bedroom.

From 1 a.m. to 1:30 a.m., I spend time with my boss, a necessary form of leisure and entertainment outside of work.

Around 1:30 a.m., Lu Zhe finished taking a shower.

He got dressed, returned to the bedside, looked at the mature woman half-wrapped in the blanket, and sighed, "It's really getting late. I have to go to work tomorrow. If this continues, my body won't be able to take it..."

"It's okay, I'll give you half a day off tomorrow morning."

As she said this, Xia Xiaobing propped herself up on the pillow with her elbows and looked at him with a smile.

Inevitably, Lu Zhe's gaze was drawn to the curves that the blanket couldn't conceal. But he quickly shook his head, calming himself down again.

Xia Xiaobing stared at him, her smile suddenly vanishing. But then, as if she had just remembered something, that confident and radiant smile reappeared.

Lu Zhe quietly swallowed back what he was about to say.

Just now, he almost blurted out, "It wouldn't be easy to explain giving everyone a day off tomorrow morning," but then he realized something. The subtext of his statement seemed problematic.

Who exactly is being explained to when it's said to be "not easy to explain"? Is it to the company's leaders and colleagues, or to the two girls living downstairs?

The stated reason was, of course, that he was in charge of his superiors and colleagues, but he knew that Xia Xiaobing would also guess that the real reason was that it was difficult to explain to Tang Qi and Xue Xiaodie.

Since it was difficult to find an excuse to refuse this kind offer, he replied, "Thank you for the holiday, boss."

Xia Xiaobing: "You don't need to go to the company tomorrow morning. Just stay home and sleep in. I'll take care of the paperwork for you."

Lu Zhe scratched his head: "But, you can't take leave too often, can you? Ultimately, this matter..."

Xia Xiaobing interrupted, "It's okay, I won't bother you this late in the future. From now on, I'll arrange for you to work overtime with me."

"Working overtime? Is that a good idea?" Lu Zhe's mind was already filled with images of a scene from an online video called "Office.avi".

Xia Xiaobing countered, "What's wrong with it?"

Lu Zhe: "I have connections in the company..."

Xia Xiaobing smiled mischievously: "Wouldn't that be even more exciting?"

"Do we really have to go this far?" Lu Zhe was dumbfounded.

Xia Xiaobing rolled her eyes at him and said, "I was just joking with you. What, you took it seriously? Of course, we can't do anything reckless in the office. I meant under the guise of working overtime, but while others work until after nine o'clock, you'll come with me around seven o'clock."

Hearing her say that, Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief: "I see..."

Xia Xiaobing: "Any other questions?"

Lu Zhe: "No, no problem. I'm going back to sleep now. Xia Jie, you should go to sleep early too. Goodnight."

Xia Xiaobing nodded, but then she beckoned with her finger.

Lu Zhe looked completely bewildered.

Xia Xiaobing sighed, "How can you be so insensible? Come here!"

Lu Zhe walked over and came within her reach.

Xia Xiaobing suddenly grabbed his collar, pulled him down to bend over, and then gave him a deep French kiss.

After a long silence, as their lips parted, she said, "From now on, don't just say goodnight. Empty words are meaningless; you have to show your sincerity with actions."

Xia Xiaobing's voice was gentle yet magnetic. She spoke casually, but when it struck Lu Zhe's eardrums, the vibrations reached deep into his brain.

Lu Zhe responded, "Is an action a goodnight kiss?"

“Okay,” Xia Xiaobing chuckled and loosened his collar. “Alright, go back to sleep.”

Lu Zhe nodded, took a few steps toward the door, but suddenly turned back to look at her.

Xia Xiaobing then asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhe: "Don't you need to take a break?"

Xia Xiaobing laughed and said, "No need, because the boss doesn't need to clock in or out. I can call or text department heads like Mao Kai from my bed and that's still working. Besides, I don't have a problem with lack of sleep. Even in the office, whenever I feel sleepy, I can just lie down on the sofa. If it's not something important, who would deliberately wake me up?"

Lu Zhe thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, the working conditions of employees and bosses are completely different."

Xia Xiaobing: "Of course I get tired and work hard, but I'm definitely much freer than the average employee. As for sleeping in, I can do it every day if I want. And if you're willing, you might be able to do it too soon."
