Chapter 990: Too Proud to Admit It, Too Stubborn to Be Happy
From behind, Xu Kun suddenly appeared, and she turned around to see him, startled, taking two steps back to put some distance between them. "Vice President Xu, do you walk without making any sound? People can be scared to death!"
Xu Kun gave a small laugh, "It’s not that I walk without sound, it’s that you’re too deep in thought. What are you doing here at this time? Looking for Mo Han?"
Feeling embarrassed that her thoughts had been seen through, she lowered her head.
"He just left not long ago. Do you need something from him?"
"No, no." She quickly waved her hand.
"I see..." He rubbed his chin, "Mo Han will be over there for half a month. During this time, I’ll be having a hard time, delivering files to my office."
Qin Yin didn’t listen to what he said after that. She only heard him say Mo Han would be there for half a month, her brow tightened, "Didn’t they say it was a one-week business trip?"
"It was changed during the meeting just now. Why, do you miss him already because he’s not around for half a month?"
"How’s that possible!" The words came out instantly.
Xu Kun raised an eyebrow, looking at her like that, clearly showing signs of it. He had just left not even half an hour ago and she was already absent-minded. How will she manage in the coming days?
He really admired these two. Clearly, they both had feelings for each other but wouldn’t speak up, both too proud to admit it...
"Just as well, he’s short a helper over there. Why don’t you go help him out?" Xu Kun teased.
"No need, Vice President Xu, I still have work to do. I’ll go to the office now."
After speaking, she turned and left. She was indeed somewhat absent-minded, as Xu Kun witnessed her walking forward with her head down, nearly bumping into the wall.
He chuckled and shook his head, said nothing, and went straight back to the office.
...
"Qin Yin, what’s wrong? Your voice sounds a bit dull, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Xinluo held the phone in one hand, opened the refrigerator door, took out a few oranges, and walked back to the living room to watch TV.
"Nothing, maybe just a bit tired from work." She lay down on the table, tapping her fingers against the surface absentmindedly as she spoke.
"Is that so? If work is tiring, let’s go out for a stroll over the weekend, it’ll be a nice break."
"I’d rather not, I’ve been quite tired these past few days. I want to catch up on sleep this weekend."
Even the dullest person could sense something was amiss. Previously, when Qin Yin was tired from work, she would call her to go shopping together. What was up with her today?
She suddenly remembered what Xu Kun had mentioned when he called Beichen Rui not long ago and started to understand why she was acting this way. Holding the phone, she peeled an orange, taking a slice into her mouth.
"Previously, Xu Kun called to say Mo Han was on a business trip. Why not come over and chat with me over the weekend? It’s lonely without anyone around."
Qin Yin thought for a moment, "I’d rather not, the president is recuperating at home, and I don’t want to be a third wheel! By the way, are you still feeling unwell anywhere? Like stomach discomfort or anything? I checked online a few days ago, and pregnant women need to take good care of their bodies. Avoid foods that aren’t good for the baby."
Ye Xinluo felt warmth in her heart hearing this, "I know. If you feel lonely, just call me. Would staying home alone feel isolating? Should I have Beichen Rui tell Xu Kun to get Mo Han back sooner?"
With laughter evident in her voice, how could Qin Yin not realize she was being teased?
