Lin Shen choked up, which was rare for him.
"Probably not, I'll have someone keep an eye on things going online."
Xia Wenxi took out her phone and browsed the trending topics. She found that most of them were news about celebrities and entertainment. People were more concerned about that aspect. The two times her incidents made it to the trending topics, there was actually an element of deliberate manipulation by rival companies.
After feeling relieved, she logged out of Weibo, but the next second she saw the time.
9:53……
She looked up at Lin Shen. "Isn't today Monday? Don't you have to go to work?"
"It's alright, I've asked my assistant to reschedule the meeting for the afternoon."
Lin Shen first raised his arm to check the time, then said, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Xia Wenxi shook her head upon hearing this, "I'm not sleeping anymore, I've had enough sleep. You go to the company, I'll take a taxi home later."
After saying that, I threw off the covers and got out of bed. The moment I landed, I still felt soreness in my legs. Lately, because of studying, I've been sitting almost all day long, and it's been a long time since I've experienced walking several kilometers like this.
No wonder I felt pain after waking up.
Her eyes swept over Lin Shen's suit jacket draped over the back of the sofa. "Did you sleep on the sofa last night?"
After receiving a positive answer, Xia Wenxi felt ashamed. She had actually misunderstood someone who had slept on the sofa all night after waking up. She deserved to die!
"The sofa is quite big, it won't interfere with your sleep. Go wash up first, we'll talk about the rest later."
Lin Shen could tell what Wen Xi was thinking just by looking at her face, so he comforted her and told her to go wash up first. Anyway, the meeting time had been adjusted, so he didn't need to rush to the company in the morning.
Xia Wenxi went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, only to find that all her makeup had been removed...
My mind was still foggy after I woke up, and I didn't even realize what had happened.
She saw the facial cleanser and makeup remover on the washstand. The brand wasn't one she usually used, but it was definitely an expensive one. These things were definitely not provided by the hotel; they were most likely bought by Lin Shen last night.
After brushing her teeth, Xia Wenxi was washing her face when she heard faint conversations outside, so she quickly rinsed her face and ran out.
"breakfast?"
"Well, there's no need to rush now. Let's have breakfast before we go back."
As Lin Shen spoke, he walked towards her, "Why didn't you dry your face before coming out?"
After saying that, he pulled her into the bathroom. There was a pack of freshly opened face towels on the sink. Lin Shen took one, held Xia Wenxi's head with one hand, and wiped her face with the other.
Xia Wenxi only had a chance to speak after Lin Shen's hand left her.
"The way you washed your face just now reminded me of my mom."
Lin Shen was amused by Xia Wenxi. After throwing away the washcloth, he reached out and tidied her hair, which had been messed up while washing her face. He said with a smile, "That's a very high compliment."
After saying that, he couldn't resist lowering his head and lightly pecking Xia Wenxi's nose. Xia Wenxi thought to herself, "Luckily, I just washed my face, otherwise I would have kissed him all over with grease."
Then comes the mouth.
It started with gentle touches, then gradually deepened... The two were originally standing face to face. Xia Wenxi looked up, feeling a little tired. Before she could say anything, her legs were lifted and she was carried to sit on the washbasin behind her.
Before long, Xia Wenxi felt dizzy.
She leaned against Lin Shen's chest for a while before remembering to point to the pile of things on the sink next to her and ask him, "This makeup remover, face wash, and face towels—did you buy these last night? I didn't expect you to help me remove my makeup. Mr. Lin knows quite a lot."
Xia Wenxi doesn't usually wear much makeup, but she went out on a date last night, so she put on some light makeup.
"Actually, I have to thank someone for this."
"who?"
Xia Wenxi's questions lingered until the two sat down at the table. Lin Shen opened his WeChat app and tapped on the chat window with Xia Wensheng.
“Since you stayed out overnight yesterday, I felt it was necessary to tell your family, since your aunt and uncle weren’t home, so I contacted Wensheng.”
Xia Wenxi listened to what he said and looked down at her phone.
Huanhuan said you should check if Xia Wenxi is wearing makeup. If she is, you need to remove it first, otherwise it will damage her skin.
The message also included the brands of the cleansing oil and facial cleanser. It even included instructions on how to use the cleansing oil.
These must have been sent by Minghuan through Xia Wensheng's phone.
"Judging from the sound last night, I think she was with Sister Minghuan, so... I don't know much about this. Luckily, Sister Minghuan is very thoughtful and can still buy these things through takeout."
Xia Wenxi covered her head, trying to recall, but her mind was blank.
Xia Wenxi was a little speechless, not expecting her to have such a low alcohol tolerance.
"I will never drink again."
Seeing her regretful expression, Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh again. "It's okay, you can still drink at home or somewhere where you don't need transportation."
hehe.
Xia Wenxi chuckled dryly. Refusing a car was one thing, but refusing the subway too? What did that mean?
It turns out that "not wanting to go to work" is ingrained in her genes, and her PTSD will even flare up whenever she sees the subway.
Xia Wenxi did the math: if everything went smoothly with her master's and doctoral studies, she would have seven or eight years without having to work, after which...
Let's talk about it after graduation. Maybe by then I'll have had enough of the good life and want to go back to work?
The two dawdled through breakfast, and it was almost 11 a.m. If Lin Shen went to work at this time, he would be just in time for the company cafeteria to open for lunch.
As the two left the hotel, they witnessed a farce, a farce that Xia Wenxi found familiar.
Are you sure Madam lives here?
These lines sound so familiar...
Even after Xia Wenxi got into the car, she opened the window hoping to hear the second half of the sentence, but before she could hear it, she saw that the person had already gone inside.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Shen followed her gaze and only saw the back of a man.
Xia Wenxi turned around and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "I was wondering how much it would cost to buy this hotel?"
"You like it?"
When Xia Wenxi heard Lin Shen ask this, she hurriedly shook her head, afraid that he would say something like "I'll buy it for you" in the next second, which was quite frightening.
"No, I was just saying it offhand."
Lin Shen was amused by her "avoiding like the plague" attitude, and said, "Okay."
Lin Shen's car had already been driven to the hotel by a designated driver that morning, and now he was driving Xia Wenxi home.
On her way home, Xia Wenxi suddenly felt a little regretful. "We went out on a date yesterday, but all we did was have a meal and then walk for several kilometers. I wasted so much time."
“But I don’t think it’s a waste. I think... not every date offers the opportunity to walk several kilometers.”
"Thank you, your comfort is very helpful..."
