“Why apologize? Didn’t you help the CEO early on? The CEO wanted to wake you for lunch but didn’t have the heart to disturb you, and even instructed me not to give you work today!” Yan Xukang walked her to the garden, casually checking if the shrubs needed pruning.
“Really? So… where is the CEO?” She decided to call him CEO in front of Uncle Yan, though she was used to calling Ye Lixie “Hey!” – which was quite impolite.
“After eating, he went back to the company for a meeting.”
Looking at Yan Xukang’s expression revealed deep care and compassion.
“Uncle Yan, how long have you worked here?”
He paused, his gaze drifting, the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth slightly moving as he smiled: “Almost thirty years now!”
“Wow! That long?” She exclaimed admiringly. It would take immense passion to work in one place for so many years, essentially dedicating one’s entire youth.
“Yes! It’s been a long time, from a head full of black hair to now, becoming an old man!” He touched his graying hair.
“No way! Uncle Yan, you look energetic, not old at all.” It was hard to believe that when they first met, he always had a stern face and would shout about her paying compensation, and now they could walk and chat together. Life’s encounters were truly unpredictable!
Believe me, Uncle Yan’s judgment has always been accurate and won’t be wrong.”
“Impossible, I’m just a maid. The CEO would never look at someone like me.” He should like Lily, not her.
“Do you think the CEO sees me as a servant?”
“Ah?” What does this have to do with anything?
“In the CEO’s eyes, there’s only love and no love, no issues of class or status. You’re overthinking it.”
“But…”
“Believe me, the CEO likes you because you’re the first woman who slept in his bed.”
What?
What… what does this mean?
Facing her reaction, Yan Xukang simply smiled and said nothing more.
When Ye Lixie returned home, it was already past nine in the evening.
After entering, he caught a glimpse of a shadow sneaking towards the car shed. He closed his eyes and then called out in a low voice, “Lin Weiwan!”
The person called could only obediently respond, “Yes.”
