When Jing Yun woke up, he dressed in his work outfit, planning to report for duty in Huang Yao today. When Sheng Minglan saw him walking out of the bedroom, she was annoyed. “You are still sick!”
“I feel much better now. Besides, I only took one day off.”
“You have been working continuously for years. How much paid leave does Sheng Xiao owe you?” Sheng Minglan was unhappy. “You must rest for one more day.”
“How about you? Aren’t you busy?”
“Um, my assistant can handle it.” Jing Yun did not like her new assistant. So, when Sheng Minglan mentioned him, she felt a bit awkward.
Sure enough, Jing Yun froze when he heard it. But, still he did not plan to rest. “I will go to your company with you. You work, I rest.”
“How can you rest properly at the workplace?”
“To me, I am resting when I don’t work. Let’s go, I will send you back to get change.”
Sheng Minglan had a feeling that something was off. Anyway, she did not refuse. Last night, she had rushed to Jing Yun’s place right after the meeting. So, the matters about that contract were not taken care of yet.
“Then, when you get to the office, you must rest. Don’t do anything. Can you promise me?”
Jing Yun nodded.
When Sheng Minglan was satisfied, then only did she go out with Jing Yun. She did not let Jing Yun drive, because he just had his medicine. It might be dangerous.
They got to the company in the afternoon. When the staff saw Jing Yun by Sheng Minglan’s side, they speculated whether Jing Yun had decided to come and work with their boss again.
However, when Jing Yun went into the office, out of everyone’s expectation, he went into her personal rest area and lay on the couch.
Sheng Minglan stared at him once and asked someone to get a blanket for him. Then, she covered him with the blanket.
When the new assistant saw that his boss was here, he brought the documents into her office. He knocked on the door and walked in. when he saw a man in the rest area, he was shocked. “CEO Sheng, this is the contract.”
“Just put it down first, is there anything else?”
“I need you to check the schedule for the next few days.”
“Alright, put them down together, I’ll go through them later.” Sheng Minglan’a attitude was very clear. She and her new assistant were just colleagues. They did not have much personal interaction and feelings.
After Jing Yun heard them, he felt relieved. Then, he fell asleep on the couch.
Men were such a kind of creature that would use all sorts of ways to identify the threats and danger from his surroundings.
After that, when Jing Yun was sleeping, Sheng Minglan got busy with her own work. When she was done her work, she left the office with Jing Yun.
On the surface, they seemed to be just like their normal self. But the problem was, Jing Yun had come here today without doing anything. He had just spent his day sleeping in Sheng Minglan’s office.
“Hey, do you think CEO Sheng and Mr. Jing are in a relationship?”
“They have known each other for more than ten years. It’s normal that they are close to each other.”
“Don’t you think that Mr. Jing came here today to announce his status?”
When they were in the parking lot, they accidentally heard the conversation among the staff. Sheng Minglan blushed right away.
She thought that Jing Yun had come here just to accompany her.
But as soon as they said it, she felt that Jing Yun seemed to have a motive for doing this.
Was he jealous because of the new assistant?
“The car is here, let’s go.” Jing Yun remained calm all the way. He did not seem to be bothered by the discussion.
But in Sheng Minglan’s heart, she doubted it.
Jing Yun drove this time and Sheng Minglan sat beside him. Jing Yun always gave a person the feeling that he was reserved and mature. So, it was a different sense of security staying by his side compared to Sheng Xiao.
This made her feel safe.
However, things had to be asked…
“Jing Yun, what’s… our status now?”
Jing Yun turned his head and looked at Sheng Minglan. He said, “Young Master always said that Miss Qiqi has dragged him into hell. But in fact, he is never standing at the entrance of hell. Instead, the one who is sure to be standing in hell is me. I just hope that you will not regret being together with me. If one day, Chairman Sheng really wants to deal with me, I will try my best to protect you.”
“Even Qiqi can stand beside Sheng Xiao, why can’t I endure the hardship with you?” Sheng Minglan insisted. “As long as you don’t run away again…”
Having said that, Sheng Minglan hugged Jing Yun’s right arm. Of course, without affecting him from driving safely.
Tonight, Sheng Minghui had planned for Shen Ruoyi to appear at her eldest cousin’s dinner meeting.
Because her eldest cousin was a playboy.
Well, her eldest sister-in-law was totally disappointed with her husband already. So now, they lived their lives separately. However, her eldest sister-in-law remained true to her principles, that was, she would not be with another man. She just enjoyed travelling around the world. Having an affair with another man would bring shame to Grandpa Sheng. And when she did not cross the line, she would be the one who was at fault when they got a divorce.
But she had never expected that Sheng Minghui would try to get her husband another mistress!
Because Eldest Young Master Sheng was of mixed-blood, his face was very attractive to women. This was his advantage.
And whenever there was a meeting with him, he must look for beautiful women to accompany him. So, Sheng Minghui made arrangements for Shen Ruoyi to be among the women.
When Eldest Young Master Sheng saw Shen Ruoyi, he was shocked. After all, she was a young lady of the Shen family, how did she become poor and was forced to work at this place?
“Ruoyi, you…”
Shen Ruoyi walked toward Eldest Young Master Sheng and said, “You come here to have fun today, so don’t ask me why and how. Eldest Brother Sheng, just buy me tonight. Otherwise, somebody else will.”
Eldest Brother Sheng and Shen Ruoyi had an uncle-niece relationship. But their age gap was not very convincing.
Eldest Brother Sheng contemplated. Seeing Shen Ruoyi in a sexy dress, her curvy body looked very attractive. He could not see her being touched by other men, so he nodded. “Alright, come and sit here.”
Shen Ruoyi had learnt a lot of new skills in the bar, especially skills in making men feel happy.
Actually, Eldest Brother Sheng did not have such a thought. To him, he was just helping someone he knew.
However, Shen Ruoyi’s seemingly unintended touch and her scent were stimulating him.
This incident was soon known by Grandpa Sheng. After seeing the photo, he was enraged. “How shameless! How dissolute! How could she do that to her cousin!”
“Chairman Sheng, what do you plan to do now?”
“I have lost my face! What do you think I can do? This time, I will not forgive Minghui again. She is so disgusting!”
