Chapter 389: Would I Not Know My Own Person? (9)
Sheng Jianan’s illness came on fiercely, a cold combined with a fever. Although it wasn’t very serious, it was enough to be torturous. After leaning on Tang Yanqi’s leg for a while, he still didn’t feel comfortable. More importantly, he clearly heard the sound of someone’s stomach growling.
Sheng Jianan moved back to his pillow and then lazily opened his eyes: "Go wait for me outside. I’m going to sleep for a while. If you get bored, ask Qiao Zi to get you a computer."
"Oh."
Tang Yanqi nodded, reached out to tuck Sheng Jianan in. The man’s eyes filled with a smile, and he raised an eyebrow at her: "Come here."
"Hmm?"
"A little closer."
"?"
"Turn over."
Tang Yanqi obediently did as told, only realizing what was happening when something soft touched her face. So he told her to come closer and corrected her position just so she could deliver herself to his lips for a kiss.
Tang Yanqi was embarrassed and gave a glare at the person who was clearly delirious from being sick yet still as brazen as ever.
"Sleep already!"
After closing the door to the lounge for him, Tang Yanqi couldn’t help but smile as she took a meal to find Bai Bing in the break room.
Qiao Zi had already returned to the office. Bai Bing was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone. As Tang Yanqi sat down next to her and just opened the lunch box, Qiao Zi came over: "Young Madam, the food must be cold. Let me heat it up for you."
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Bai Bing sat for a while, and upon learning that the finance department’s overtime was over, stood up: "Tangtang, if it’s any later, there won’t be a bus. I’ll head back to school first, see you tomorrow."
After speaking, she looked to Qiao Zi: "Sister Qiao, thanks for the hospitality."
"You’re welcome."
With Qiao Zi being so nice and Bai Bing being someone who reciprocates kindness, it wasn’t surprising that the two of them became friendly quickly, not at all to Tang Yanqi’s surprise.
"Young Madam, is the President feeling better?"
Qiao Zi placed the reheated food in front of Tang Yanqi and asked softly.
Tang Yanqi shook her head: "Cold combined with fever."
Qiao Zi sat down next to her and sighed: "The President has been overworking for a long time, this is just the stress catching up. Recently, the company has been busy and he had to go on business trips. Everything piled up. To top it off, he insists on going to work on time, such high-intensity work, it’s no wonder he’d fall sick."
Tang Yanqi was slightly taken aback. She previously thought Sheng Jianan’s illness was due to catching a cold yesterday and hadn’t considered there were so many other reasons. Yet during this period, she hadn’t felt he was busy at all. Every day he was either taking her out to eat or meet friends. Why...?
Qiao Zi had no reason to lie to her, and as the President of Shengshi Group, it was logical for him to be busy. Suddenly, Tang Yanqi seemed to understand something.
The work is still the same amount, but the working hours were reduced. That means the work efficiency had to be greatly increased. Even a robot would get tired at times.
So, was Sheng Jianan busy as could be yet still finding time to play with her, have meals with her, and even help her with her thesis, all because of her at the end of the day?
Qiao Zi noticed Tang Yanqi’s guilt and smiled: "Young Madam, don’t overthink it. I’m just venting a bit, don’t take it to heart. Even though the President has been busy during this time, I can tell he’s been in a great mood. I’ve been with the President for years, I can guarantee, this period is the happiest I’ve ever seen him, like a... like a childish fool."
Qiao Zi laughed at her own words, and Tang Yanqi also smiled in agreement.
