With great difficulty, she entered and grabbed Yan Xukang like a starving ghost, asking him for some breakfast leftovers to eat.
Yan Xukang saw her disheveled and exhausted appearance and couldn’t help but suspect whether she had been out doing something suspicious all night.
“Weiwan, how did you get so tired? Didn’t you sleep last night?”
Since learning about her difficulties, Yan Xukang’s entire attitude had completely changed, from initially yelling at her to now being a caring elder who would try to protect her within his responsibilities.
“Ah? What? Uncle Yan, what did you say?” Although Lin Weiwan was starving, her eyelids were even heavier. Before she could put the spoon in her mouth, she almost fell asleep.
It hadn’t been long since she last worked the night shift, and she couldn’t immediately adapt to this drastic change. Plus, she had been completely worn out by being “tormented” all day yesterday, so feeling completely powerless was normal.
“Hey! If you look like this when the CEO returns, you’ll definitely get scolded again,” Yan Xukang kindly reminded her.
“Oh? He’s gone out?” That was good – she could at least steal a quick nap.
“Yes! The CEO left with his driver around 7 to go to a company meeting and will probably return late. For that collaborative development project, one can imagine the CEO probably didn’t sleep well last night either.”
Seeing her panda-like exhausted state of having clearly not slept all night, Yan Xukang could only find her a cool task.
“After you finish eating, go sweep leaves in the garden. Remember, don’t try to slack off. The CEO could return at any time.”
“Okay, I understand.” Understanding his kind advice, she squeezed out a genuinely sweet smile.
Watching her pick up cleaning tools and leave, Yan Xukang suddenly felt that this young girl’s bright and strong smile might just be able to break through the CEO’s defenses. He smiled in anticipation of that day and turned back to his day’s work.
Ye Lixie got off the car and told the driver to park, not wanting to trouble anyone. Intending to rest upstairs with his cane, he stopped while crossing the side garden.
Because he saw an object lying on the grass.
His sharp, handsome eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the unidentified object.
