By the time Jian Dan arrived at Qin Corporation, it was already past 9 p.m.
Chu Liyuan had called Jian Dan at around 5 p.m. and told her that he had to work overtime today, and asked her not to wait for him and to rest early after dinner.
Since Uncle doesnât want me to wait for him, he naturally wouldnât go home early. He might even have to pull an all-nighter.
Jian Dan took the elevator directly to the 33rd floor. This 33rd floor was brightly litâ¦
As expected, Chu Liyuan had not gone home yet.
Jian Dan came to the door of Chu Liyuanâs office. This time, she did not open the door directly. Instead, she pressed her ear against the office door to hear if there was anyone else inside. She did not want to barge in like last time. It was too awkward.
However, the soundproofing in Chu Liyuanâs office was too good. No matter how Jian Dan tried, she could not hear any sound and did not know if there was anyone else inside.
Just as Jian Dan was fretting, Li Jing poked his head out from behind her. âWhat are you doing sneakily?â
âOh!â Jian Dan was shocked by the sudden voice.
She slapped Li Jing hard on the back. âDonât you know that people can be scared to death?â
âIf you scare me, Iâll get Uncle to teach you a lesson!â
Jian Dan chided as she patted herself on the chest.
There was a slight pain when her hand touched her chest.
âIâm sorry, Her Majesty. Please donât tell Mr. Chu. Please! Mengjiao and my unborn child canât do without me!â Even though Li Jing did not do it on purpose.
But so what? The thing was, he did gave Jian Dan a fright.
If Chu Liyuan found out, he would be dead meat.
âFor Mengjiaoâs sake, Iâll let you off this time.â
âThank you!â
âIs there anyone else in there?â
âI donât think so. Mr. Chu just returned to his office after the meeting.â
âOh, I see.â
Since there was no one in the office, she did not have to worry.
Jian Dan was about to open the door. âWhy are you suddenly here? Didnât Mr. Chu tell you that heâs working overtime?â This case was really tricky. If they could not solve the problem of the silkâ¦
âIâm not telling you!â Jian Dan raised her eyebrows and entered the office.
Why would I tell you? This is a surprise for Uncle.
After Jian Dan entered the office, she saw that there was no sign of Chu Liyuan at the desk. Furthermore, the only light in the office was near the desk. The rest of the office was very dark.
Jian Dan carefully walked in and called out, âUncle!â
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Jian Danâ¦
Just as Jian Dan was about to make a move, she was hugged by the black shadow. The familiar scent and body temperatureâ¦
âUncle!â
âI miss you. Let me hug you.â Even though it had only been a day since they last saw each other.
Chu Liyuan had never felt so tired before.
Only Jian Dan could comfort him at this moment.
Jian Dan did not move and just let Chu Liyuan hug herâ¦
After a long time, Chu Liyuan slowly let go of Jian Dan. He held her hand and walked to the office. He sat in his chair and let Jian Dan sit in his lap.
âWhy are you suddenly here? Didnât I tell you to sleep early?â Chu Liyuan touched Jian Dansâ hair dotingly and tucked it behind her earâ¦
âIâm here to fetch you home.â
Upon hearing Jian Danâs words, Chu Liyuanâs heart warmed.
âAlright, letâs go home.â
Jian Dan would always be the most important one in Chu Liyuanâs heart.
âOkay.â Jian Dan stood up and pulled Chu Liyuan up from his chair. âBut before we go home, I have something for you.â
Jian Dan raised her right hand and clenched her fist.
âGive me your hand!â
The corners of Chu Liyuanâs lips curled up. He opened his palmâ¦
Jian Dan gently placed the key in Chu Liyuanâs hand.
Chu Liyuan looked at the key lying in his palm and looked at Jian Dan in confusion. âThis isâ¦â
âUncle, havenât you been worrying about the silk for the garment order recently?â
Chu Liyuan knitted his brows.
How did Jian Jian know?
Of course, Chu Liyuan did not want Jian Dan to worry with him.
It must be Li Jing.
Li Jing is such a big mouth. Looks like heâs itching for a beating..
