Knock, knock, knock!
A series of knocks came from this brightly lit and spacious office's door .
"Come in," Pei Ge, who was buried in all sorts of documents, said .
She had been occupied with work lately . In fact, everyone in the company was similarly busy after the holiday because of Jiaheng's ongoing projects .
As the highest executive officer in the company, she was naturally the busiest of them all . If she wanted to leave the office on time every day, she must work nonstop during the working hours .
She did not even have time to look at her assistant who was bringing her more documents .
"Boss, these are the charts for the company's recent performance . "
The assistant carrying the documents offered them to her over the table .
"Okay . You can just put them down . "
She took a few seconds to glance at her assistant and the documents the latter had placed on the table before going back to the file that she was reading .
"Okay! Boss, I'll take my leave first!" the assistant said with a smile . She was about to leave when she saw a man walk out of the office's pantry .
"Pei Ge, have some coffee and waffles . "

Looking at beautiful man, the assistant swallowed silently .
When the man walked toward the woman in the swivel chair with the coffee and snacks with a loving gaze, the assistant felt attacked by this public display of affection .
"Ziming, I'm busy right now; hold on for a bit . "
Even if the one interrupting her was her favorite person, Pei Ge remained focused on her work .
When Ji Ziming saw that, he reproachfully snatched the file his girlfriend was reading .
"Hey!" The woman glared at him when he did that .
"That's bad for your eyes . " He said this in response to her chiding look .
"What bad for the eyes? Don't mess around, or else I'll have to work overtime and I can't go home with you . " She looked at him hopelessly .
She knew now that if one worked in the same office as their lover, their efficiency… was really indescribable .
"What's there to read about this document?" He raised a brow slightly at her words, saying, "This proposal here actually works, but when you set it in motion, you need to add a little…"
Listening to how easy it was for him, her eyes widened as she felt a sense of defeat . Maybe one's intelligence does determine everything .
Even so, she still enjoyed listening to him .

"Wow! Why haven't I thought of that?"
When he was finished, she looked at him in awe .
She was indeed still too inexperienced!
Even though Professor William said that she was talented and a fast-learner, she was still a newbie when compared to those with experience .
Looking at the rare expression of admiration on her face for him, the man's lips upturned a little but still kept a straight face .
"Okay . Now that you're done with this, take a break . Work-life balance is important," he said plainly, proceeding to put the coffee in front of her .
She looked at him and then pouted amusedly . "Did you forget that I used to be your secretary? Don't I know what kind of person you are?"
"What right do you have to comment on me when you're the workaholic type yourself? What work-life balance? Ha ha!" She started laughing aloud .
She truly thought that it was funny to see him preach about work-life balance to her .
This fellow had never had work-life balance, but now he was telling her about it . Ha ha!
"I'm your boyfriend; of course, I have the right . " He raised his brow a little and then gently poked her on the forehead .

She took a sip of her coffee and then smilingly muttered while nodding nonstop . "Yes, yes, yes, my dear boyfriend . I'll listen to you . "
"Okay . Right now, I'm only interested in knowing what we're eating for dinner tonight . "
The way the man pondered on this made it seem as if he were considering matters of national importance . Eventually, he said, "There's nothing left in the fridge . Let's go take a look at the market tonight . "
"Okay . You're forbidden interrupting me from here on! If not, I'll take overtime again, and there won't be fresh vegetables left for sale when we reach the marketplace!"
"En…"
Her assistant: Sobs… Boss, you and your boyfriend have forgotten about me again . I don't wanna be a third wheel here…
…
Work soon ended under her focused efforts .
By the time it was quitting time at five in the afternoon, she had already completed all her workload for the day .
"Haa! I'm finally done . "
She shifted her gaze onto the man using his laptop in the break area of the office .
"What are you working on?"
His fingers flew across the keyboard elegantly as if he were playing a piano .
He only looked up at her from his laptop screen when he heard her voice .
"Nothing . Are you done with work?" he replied, smiling at her .
"En! I'm done!" She nodded and smiled .
"Then, let's go . " He closed his white Macbook's lid and got up off the couch .
"Okay . Let's go shop for groceries . I suddenly feel like eating your spicy prawns today . "
"You're a little irritable today, so that's a no-go . "
"Huh! Why? I'm craving spicy prawns . "
"No . You can eat it when you're not being like that . "
"I'll just eat a little of it if you make some! Just a little; I promise!"
"That's what you said last time, too . "
In the sunset, these two's shadows had an unspeakable harmony and warmth…
