Upon returning to the dining room, Li Xueqing’s mood had greatly improved.
Seeing Ye Li and Aunt Lan sizing her up, Li Xueqing’s face was full of reproach, "I just didn’t sleep well last night and wanted to skip a al to laze around a bit, and yet you two have to bother !"
Ye Li hurriedly apologized, "Dear mom, I was wrong!"
Aunt Lan also laughed as she tried to make it up to her, "The saying goes, ’Man is iron, food is steel; without als how can it feel?’ If you want to slack off, at least fill your belly properly before lazing around!"
Li Xueqing shook her head, her smile tinged with helplessness.
Ye Li and Aunt Lan exchanged a glance, and both felt at ease, simultaneously.
After lunch, Li Xueqing had barely put down her chopsticks when she started clamoring to return to her room for a nap.
Aunt Lan intercepted her to take her dicine, and only then, with a face full of resignation, did she leave.
Ye Li was still hesitating over whether to take a nap or read for a bit.
Her phone chid.
A WeChat ssage from Xiang Yang: "Lady, the Boss didn’t eat lunch and went straight into his office. I plan to order so takeout for him. Do you know which restaurant’s dishes he likes best?"
???
I was about to ask how you could not know what his favorite dishes are, given you’ve been by Fu Yanci’s side far longer than I have.
But she knew all too well that Xiang Yang was subtly passing on a ssage. It wasn’t hard to guess what Fu Yanci must have been like these past two days, or the nervous state of the secretarial pool.
Ye Li couldn’t help but sigh, "I don’t know either."
In the secretarial area on the top floor of the Fu Group, Xiang Yang only glanced at the WeChat ssage before he felt the world go dark before his eyes.
Before he could wail "Heaven wants to abandon ," a new ssage followed.
"I’ll ask."
Though punctuated, containing a total of four characters, Xiang Yang felt as though he saw the light of victory.
In his excitent, he sent a goofy emoji bowing in thanks.
Ye Li: ...
Inside the president’s office, Fu Yanci was ssaging with Xiao Bao.
He never dread that a phone watch could unlock a five-year-old child’s chatty nature, leaving Fu Yanci feeling helpless.
"Did you make Ye Xiaoli angry?"
"No."
"You clearly did! Your eyes told so!"
"..."
"Girls need to be coaxed. You’re doing it wrong."
"...I’m angry at her, and I still have to coax her??? Do you think that’s right?"
"Would it be right for soone else to coax her?"
"..."
"Rule number one for a happy marriage: The wife is always right! ...Rule number two: If the wife is wrong, then it’s definitely your fault she made a mistake! ...Rule number three: If the wife is truly wrong, then refer to rule one!"
"Fu Muzhi, your tablet is confiscated! Whenever you can ensure you won’t look at such nonsense, I’ll return it to you!"
"Deservedly unloved! Neh neh neh neh neh..."
Fu Yanci’s already darkened face grew even more somber as he stared at that last sentence in the dialogue box for a long ti.
Before he had decided whether to have the old butler also confiscate Xiao Bao’s phone watch, his phone gave a crisp chi.
A ssage from Ye Li: "Have you had lunch?"
Fu Yanci’s gaze flickered.
Two voices ca to mind.
One voice, cold and distant: Ignore her, rember how she upset you yesterday!
The other voice, rational and gentle: Even a child knows that girls need to be coaxed. Surely you can’t be worse than a child, right? Are you really waiting for her to find soone else to console her? Hurry up, coax her!!!
The two voices wrestled with each other, impossible to separate.
Before Fu Yanci could sort out his thoughts, his phone chid again.
Ye Li had sent another WeChat ssage.
