Hasn’t she lost a lot of weight?
Lai Wei also feels quite sorry for Jian Dan.
Thinking from her perspective, if she were in Jian Dan’s position, she’d also be interested in Bo Qin.
Outstanding people always attract others’ attention; that’s a tiless truth.
Close to midnight, Jian Dan was woken up by Lai Wei. Her eyes still carried a hazy look, "Weiwei, is it morning?"
Lai Wei was taken aback, then laughed, "Yeah, it’s morning. Aren’t you getting up?"
Her eyes suddenly opened wide; she realized she’d been tricked. Jian Dan didn’t get angry; instead, she smiled warmly at her, "Weiwei, you’re so nice. Let’s go upstairs and watch the fireworks."
Just as they reached the rooftop, swoosh—
Noises ca from afar, followed by fireworks bursting into brilliant colors in the sky, illuminating everything. Jian Dan’s smile slowly faded, her hand in her pocket clutching her phone.
Lai Wei walked over to her, "How about sending a ssage to Uncle Qin? Consider it a New Year greeting."
Jian Dan’s eyebrows drooped, "It’s probably not a good idea. He might not want to receive a ssage from ."
Lai Wei felt sorry for her. How much affection does it take to beco so cautious?
She wanted to tell Jian Dan not to overthink. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. But she couldn’t bring herself to say it. She took a couple of steps forward and hugged her shoulder, "Little Jian Dan, don’t be so negative. You really don’t need to overly guess if he’s happy or not. Just see it as a junior greeting an elder. Keep it simple."
Jian Dan was startled, slowly nodded, "Okay, I’ll send it now."
"Jian Dan: Uncle Qin, Happy New Year. Also, the fireworks are beautiful this year. I’m watching them from the rooftop and even made dumplings. It’s been a fulfilling day."
Bo Qin saw the ssage late at night. When the ssage arrived, he didn’t have his phone with him. It was in the bedroom while he was handling so matters in the study. By the ti he saw it, it was already past three in the morning.
Even if he replied, Jian Dan wouldn’t see it.
Looking at the ssage from the young girl, his lips curved into a smile.
...
Early the next day, Secretary Zhou and ng Xue went shopping for snacks and New Year’s goods, hurriedly delivering them to Jian Dan’s villa. In the car, ng Xue kept yawning, "Secretary Zhou, are you even human? I only got ho on the twenty-ninth, barely slept for a bit yesterday, and you dragged out early this morning. Can’t we take it a bit easier?"
ng Xue’s eyes were red, clearly from staying up too long.
Secretary Zhou wasn’t guilty at all, "Don’t think that I don’t know you’ve been trying to replace . Young lady, staying up all night won’t beat . A brain is a good thing, but apparently, you don’t have one."
ng Xue got so mad that her sleepiness vanished completely, wanting to smash her phone on Secretary Zhou’s shaless head, "No wonder you’re still single at your age; there’s definitely a reason."
Secretary Zhou’s mouth twitched, "With my qualifications, if I wanted to find a girl to marry, there’d be a line waiting for to choose from."
ng Xue yawned again, sleepy, "Of course, but who knows if they’ll love you more or your money more."
Secretary Zhou: "..."
He just woke up a bit early; why so much resentnt, even cursing him?
Secretary Zhou was frustrated, "ng Xue, do you have any conscience left saying this? We’re partners, you curse like this; doesn’t your conscience ache?"
"You disturb people’s sweet dreams early morning, does your conscience ache?"
"Does that equate? " Secretary Zhou really wanted to pry open this girl’s head to take a good look inside.
ng Xue leaned her head against the backrest, "Forget it, I’m not talking to you; I’m so tired. Don’t wake until we reach Little Jian Dan’s place, thanks."
Secretary Zhou: "..."
Unexpectedly, racing on the highway, ng Xue slept quite soundly. Secretary Zhou’s resentnt deepened by the minute; he must be crazy to seek out trouble so early.
Stuck in traffic for an hour, ng Xue slowly woke up, blinking in disbelief at the situation before turning to mock Secretary Zhou, "This is the result of your impatience to get out the door sooner? Are you satisfied, Secretary Zhou?"
This mockery was almost too obvious.
Secretary Zhou pursed his lips, not to stoop to her level.
After the traffic jam cleared, they reached Jian Dan’s villa. The courtyard gates were tightly shut. ng Xue got out of the car, a look of confusion crossing her face, "Could it be Little Jian Dan isn’t ho?"
She ran over to ring the doorbell, but there was no response.
No one ca to the door either, so Secretary Zhou walked over, "I have the keys. Let’s go in and see."
