108 To Grow Old Together
After receiving his affirmative answer, Lin Jiao was finally able to pull herself together.
The voice that ca out of her mouth was hoarse and serious. “I didn’t do that kind of thing with him.”
“What kind of thing?”
“That kind.”
Pei Zhi chuckled.
He pinched her cheek, but before he could speak, he heard her say, “You can take to do a checkup if you don’t believe .”
“I believe you.” Afraid that she would do sothing stupid, he spoke confidently.
Only then did Lin Jiao stop dwelling on that.
She hugged his neck and watched him take off her shoes and socks. Her heart ward. “I was afraid you would break up with just now.”
“Impossible.” Pei Zhi placed the socks on the other side of the sofa and covered her with a blanket.
He leaned back. “Only you can dump .”
“I won’t dump you either.”
“Then we’re left with one option.”
“To grow old together?”
Seeing him nod, Lin Jiao smiled brightly.
She adjusted her posture. No matter how soft the pillow was, she only liked leaning against Pei Zhi. “I still have to wait eight months to be twenty-five years old.”
“Can’t wait anymore?”
“A little.”
Pei Zhi did not want to wait either.
But what he wanted more was for her to recover. “Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup next month.”
“My head doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“You have to go even if it doesn’t hurt.”
Lin Jiao touched the back of her head and did not refuse.
She looked at the glass window and felt sleepy again. “I’ll sleep for a while.”
“You want to sleep here?”
“Yes.” She couldn’t be bothered to take off her clothes again.
Pei Zhi went to the lounge to bring out the blanket and waited for her to take off her coat and lie down before tucking her in.
The alarm rang three minutes early.
Lin Jiao, who hadn’t had enough sleep, yawned and only managed to think when Pei Zhi brought her a glass of warm water.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him. “I’m going back.”
Pei Zhi was caught off guard.
He sent her to the door of the CEO’s office and followed her with his eyes. “Slow down. Don’t rush.”
The employees who were about to get back to work were struck dumb when they heard that.
They looked at Lin Jiao who ran past them and wanted to gossip, but they did not dare to. They could only discuss in the departnt’s group chat.
“Who has insider information? Is she President Pei’s girlfriend?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s very likely.”
“Didn’t you notice that she cos up every afternoon? And Assistant Qu never stops her.”
“Looks like I’ll have to call her Mrs. Pei.”
“So which departnt is Mrs. Pei in?”
Lin Jiao, who did not know that their relationship had been exposed, rushed back to the planning departnt to carry out a new round of work.
She focused on typing on the keyboard and continued to edit the proposal that she had not finished in the morning before sending it to Wu Xiuwen as soon as possible.
Wu Xiuwen called her into the office twenty minutes later.
He took out two resus. “Two new employees will co to report tomorrow. You and Zheng Yi will be in charge of each.”
“Can I choose?”
“You can discuss this with him.”
“Alright.” Lin Jiao listened carefully to the advice he gave on her proposal.
After that, she returned to her desk with a new mission.
She showed the two resus to Zheng Yi and pointed at the short-haired girl. “Brother Zheng, can I choose her?”
Zheng Yi read the resus from beginning to end.
He raised his chin at the boy. “She’s not as experienced as he is. It might be more tiring for you to teach her.”
