Hearing no response from the other end of the phone, Assistant Chen instantly felt the atmosphere was off. Could it not have worked? No way, with such a beautiful setting and handsome men and women, if it were anyone else, this trick would definitely have succeeded.
Just as he was confused, Leng Yixiu’s cold voice came through the phone, "Go pick up Lin Yixun and bring her back to Half Mountain Villa."
"Uh, boss, I’m on a date right now. Can’t you have Old He go pick up Miss Lin?"
"Old He has gone back to his hometown, he’s not in T City."
So the big boss just temporarily used him as a laborer? Assistant Chen glanced reluctantly at his girlfriend beside him, feeling extremely miserable. If it wasn’t because of the decent salary at Leng’s, he really wanted to quit on the spot.
Sigh, forget it. For the sake of the salary, he decided to endure, "Uh, boss, where is Miss Lin right now?"
"Peninsula Western Restaurant."
Oh my God, did the big boss have a fallout with Miss Lin at Peninsula Western Restaurant and just left her there?
He really didn’t know what to say. The big boss was doing great with Miss Cheng, but when it came to Lin Yixun, his emotional intelligence dropped to the negatives. No wonder any woman wouldn’t bother with him.
Though criticizing internally, Assistant Chen hurriedly replied, "Alright, boss, I’ll go pick up Miss Lin now."
Hanging up the phone, Assistant Chen gave his girlfriend an apologetic smile, "Qianqian, my boss just called me to pick someone up. I’m afraid I can’t watch a movie with you tonight, can we reschedule?"
"Reschedule, reschedule, it’s always reschedule! How many times has it been already! Hmph, I’m going home!"
With that, his girlfriend stormed off in a huff. Assistant Chen wanted to chase after her but looked at his watch, realizing it was already late and there was still a way to go from the city center to the suburbs.
So, he reluctantly gave up and decided he would make it up to her later. See, he had such high ideological awareness, why couldn’t the big boss learn from him? The rightful source is novel·fire.net
Women need to be coaxed. With a boss like that, always keeping a stiff face and not saying a single sweet word all day, how could he chase a woman?
When Assistant Chen finally brought Lin Yixun back to Half Mountain Villa, it was close to midnight. She went straight to the master bedroom. As she reached the door, she paused slightly.
Through the crack in the master bedroom door, she could vaguely see a faint light inside. Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw Leng Yixiu already lying on the bed. The man seemed to be asleep, while the bedside lamp was still on.
Lin Yixun quietly tiptoed, trying not to wake him, and after washing up, she gently got into bed. She was still not used to sharing a room with Leng Yixiu, let alone sleeping on the same bed.
Fortunately, the bed was very wide, and she tried to sleep closer to the edge to avoid touching Leng Yixiu. She didn’t know how long it took, but she finally fell into a hazy sleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden "thump" in the quiet bedroom. Lin Yixun woke up abruptly, the cold wooden floor beneath her making her realize she had fallen off the bed.
A dull pain came from her knees and elbows, probably from scraping her skin, but she didn’t really mind. She slowly climbed up from the ground. Just as she was about to get back into bed, there was a "click" sound, and the bedside lamp was suddenly turned on.
The unexpected light made Lin Yixun squint her eyes. Once she fully adjusted to the light, she noticed Leng Yixiu sitting on the bed, staring at her intently with sharp, cold eyes, looking like he wanted to devour her whole.
