Are you sure youâre not deliberately making fun of me? Why are you so particular about drinking coffee?
Li Ruochu stuck her tongue out at the pager and went to make coffee for the man. He had asked for so much, but she did not do it.
She boiled some water and made a bag of instant coffee for Helian Qingyu.
âMr. President, hereâs the coffee you wanted.â
The coffee was placed on his table. Li Ruochu put away the tray and stood at the side respectfully.
Helian Qingyu lifted his head from the pile of documents. His gaze swept past her face and landed on the coffee cup. âMade according to my request?â
âThatâs right! 64 specially selected coffee beans, grounded spring ice, 1 / 4 spoonful of sugar, 20 mls of milk.â
Li Ruochuâs words were sincere. Helian Qingyu picked up the cup and took a sip. âMm, itâs not bad.â
He couldnât taste the difference?
Li Ruochu gave her the middle finger in her heart. You bastard, you donât even know how to taste. You really did it just to torment me!
âMr. President, is there anything else? If not, Iâll take my leave.â
âStop right there!â
Helian Qingyu did not want to leave her alone. He pointed at the messy documents on the table. âHelp me sort these documents out!â
âIâm just your personal assistant. Dealing with your documents is not part of my service, right?â Li Ruochu asked.
Helian Qingyu put down his pen and leaned against the leather chair. He loosened his collar and asked calmly, âWhat is life? Is work not part of life?â
ââ¦â
What sort of logic was this?
Li Ruochu suddenly realized that she had fallen into someoneâs trap!
Reality proved that it was not wise to argue with an overbearing employer. Li Ruochu had no choice but to put down the tray and walk over to help him organize the documents.
Helian Qingyu had secretly observed her several times while she was working. He had no idea why he was drinking her freshly ground coffee. With her by his side, the boring work that he used to think was now much more interesting.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them did their own thing and spent the whole afternoon together peacefully.
Li Ruochu was very serious and efficient as she tidied up all the documents. She looked at the time and said, âMr. President, Iâve done everything. Now I want to see if Nuo Nuo is awake.â
âMm.â
Helian Qingyu nodded. It was rare for him to be so easy to talk to.
Li Ruochu picked up the tray beside her, picked up the coffee that she had already finished, and was about to leave. But her wrist tightened, and her body fell back unexpectedly onto the manâs lap.
âAhâ¦â Li Ruochu cried out in panic.
Helian Qingyu held her back steadily with one arm. She was still holding the tray, and the coffee cup was still on the tray.
But her heart was like a roller coaster, and she was scared out of her wits. She lay on her back, and when her eyes met with his, her heartbeat became erratic.
âMr. President, youâ¦â
Li Ruochu struggled to get up, but the manâs hand was firmly on her waist. She could not move.
Helian Qingyu looked down at the woman in his arms. He stared at her fair face as if he was looking at a rare treasure. In her panicked eyes, he could clearly see his own silhouette.
âDo you know how I lived all these years without you?â
He suddenly asked in a deep voice without any commanding tone. It was as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
ââ¦â
