Chapter 388: Would I Not Know My Own Person? (8)
The people in the finance department stared at them, stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality. Someone sneered, "It’s really an honor to be summoned by the CEO’s assistant just after starting."
An obvious use of sarcasm, full of schadenfreude.
Li Ke turned back and waved his hand, "Don’t you want to finish work? Get to it quickly."
Guo Jingtian finally withdrew his gaze, feeling a bit worried. After all, Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing were both new to the workplace, and if their disappearance made the higher-ups unhappy, it wouldn’t be a good thing for them.
However, he couldn’t say anything. Surviving in the workplace means you can’t always speak the truth.
Over there, Qiao Zi walked into the elevator and only after Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing came in did she put away her imposing demeanor, speaking respectfully, "Young Madam, Miss Bai, I’m sorry you were wronged just now."
Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing exchanged a glance, realizing she seemed to know everything about what was happening over there.
"It’s okay, we’re fine."
"Young Madam, the CEO’s health isn’t good, you should go up and keep him company."
Tang Yanqi instinctively felt it wasn’t appropriate, but since Sheng Jianan was ill because of her, she couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
The elevator reached the top floor, and Qiao Zi handed two meals to Tang Yanqi, signaling her to go in first, while she took Bai Bing to the lounge to eat.
Tang Yanqi held the meals, pushed open the door, and found the office empty, with the door to the lounge slightly ajar.
She placed the meals on the coffee table and gently pushed open the lounge door. On the dark bed, Sheng Jianan lay quietly. His face was a bit red, not quite normal, as if he had a fever.
A white medical tape was still attached to the back of one hand, seemingly just after receiving an IV drip.
Tang Yanqi sat down beside him and carefully touched his forehead. Sure enough, it was burning hot.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and pressed back, the scorching heat spreading through her fingertips. The person on the bed didn’t open his eyes, only murmured in a muffled voice, "Heartless woman, you finally came up."
The feeling of distress was instantly replaced by a speechless smile. Tang Yanqi’s lips curved, "How did you know it was me?"
"Nonsense!"
The person on the bed still didn’t open his eyes, paused, and added, "You’re mine, wouldn’t I know? Do you think I’m as clueless as a pig?"
Tang Yanqi’s smile froze, then became even more brilliant.
She hadn’t thought much about Shen Yao’s situation at noon, but to say she wasn’t bothered at all would be a lie. Yet just now, despite being called a pig, she felt completely relieved in that instant.
He said she was his person. Yes, she was his person.
Sheng Jianan, eyes closed, turned to rest his head on Tang Yanqi’s legs, lying across the bed, his head nuzzling, with a bit of a spoiled gesture.
For a moment, Tang Yanqi clearly felt her heart soften into clouds in the sky, cotton candy on the ground.
Who said only girls could act spoiled?
Some men, when being playful, you simply can’t resist.
Especially Sheng Jianan with his eyes closed, the arrogance in his brow and eyes gone, relying solely on his handsome face, cleanly attractive, with a hint of resilience.
Tang Yanqi lightly placed her hand on top of Sheng Jianan’s head, letting her fingers weave through his hair.
"Hmm... good."
Tang Yanqi: "..."
Hey, hey, what happened to the domineering cool president? Taking advantage and still acting coy, is that really okay?
