Ning Xi tilted his head in amusement, supporting his forehead with one hand, "I'm just wondering, is it okay for you not to go to work like this? How can I dislike you being at home?"

"Really?" Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, his drooping spirit seemed to have recovered a little.

"Of course!"

"Oh, it's okay. There are other people in the company. If it's not something important, just leave it to them."

If you can't lead a team, you will have to work yourself to death. As a successful boss, how can he allow himself to work himself to death?

If I have to die, it should be someone else's.

Ming Qi: "...Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Assistant Li: "...Is it too late for me to change jobs now?"

Ning Xi nodded. She didn’t know much about his job, so after hearing him say that, she didn’t think much about it.

However, she thought of another thing and asked, "Um, is Mingqi your partner?"

Qin Yan looked at her, feeling a little surprised. Why would she care about Ming Qi's affairs?

When did she become so familiar with Mingqi?

Ning Xi mistakenly thought that he didn't want to tell her this, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to tell me."

Qin Yan saw the flash of disappointment on her face, and his heart skipped a beat. He said quickly, "No, you can say it. I'm just wondering, you seem to be very familiar with Ming Qi? But he does manage the finances of my company, but he is not my partner.

You also know my partner. I think we know him quite well. "

"Who?" Ning Xi was aroused by his curiosity.

"Your cousin is Xiang Chuanbei. I started a gaming company with him."

"Is it him?" Ning Xi was surprised.

"Well, even though he seems to be out of tune, he is actually a very talented game developer, and he is very good at networking and programming." Qin Yan said.

Ning Xi nodded slightly. He had never expected that his third cousin would have such a side to him.

Qin Yan observed her and saw that she just nodded after asking the question and didn't say anything else. He felt a little complicated and tangled.

He thought she would continue to ask, even about the Qin family. He was thinking, what would be the appropriate answer?

Should I tell the truth or continue to lie to her?

However, seeing that she didn't seem to have that intention, he felt a little disappointed and felt that she didn't seem to care about him that much.

Noticing that his appetite seemed to have suddenly deteriorated, Ning Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Yan looked at her, his hand unconsciously holding the fork and poking the eggs on the plate.

Finally, he asked, "Ning Xi, don't you have anything else you want to ask me?"

Could it be that she really doesn't care about him and doesn't want to understand him?

Ning Xi also looked at him deeply for a while, shook his head and said, "No."

Qin Yan: “…”

His heart, tangled like a knot, fell to the ground in an instant. He looked away and saw that the fried egg on the plate had been poked into a sieve.

Feeling that the air around him suddenly became several degrees colder, Ning Xi rubbed his arms, but couldn't help but smile.

Then he turned his head and looked at the person who was poking the egg, "Of course, if you really want me to ask, I can ask.

So, who are you anyway?"

This question has been on her mind for a long time. Before, she could pretend not to care and wait for him to tell her slowly.

But yesterday, when he said his name, the reactions of Dean Ling and Yan Rui were so obvious, as if they all knew who he was.

Only, as a wife, she didn't know.

Now that he wanted to ask her, she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

My depressed mood had just calmed down a little, but because of her direct question, my mood suddenly rose to my throat again.

Qin Yan looked up at her, feeling his own roller coaster-like state of mind.

Even under normal circumstances, when dealing with those large projects worth tens of billions of dollars, it is not as exciting as this.

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ning Xi gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

She lowered her head and quickly finished the rest of the food, then stood up and took the plate to the kitchen.

Qin Yan looked at her back, his thin lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing.

Ning Xi then washed the dishes, then came out and went to the study, dragging out a large cardboard box.

Qin Yan also finished eating and looked at her box with some curiosity: "What's in it?"

"Some common medicines that I brought back from outside."

As he spoke, Ning Xi took out some prepared herbs in small sealed bags.

Then he quickly wrote down a few medicinal herbs on the notebook, tore them off and handed them to him, saying, "Can you please go to the Chinese medicine store to get some for me? I'll make a decoction for my cold."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Qin Yan took the paper and went out immediately.

Ning Xi looked at his figure walking out, pinched her fingers slightly, and then took a few deep breaths before suppressing the feeling of loss and depression in her heart.

Qin Yan went downstairs and called Assistant Li before driving.

"Is the stuff I ordered last time ready?"

Assistant Li was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, but it hasn't been brought over yet."

"Go get it, and then..."

Before Qin Yan came back, Ning Xi gave himself two injections to relieve the symptoms of the cold.

Then he took out his laptop and planned to read some medical literature. However, not long after he sat down, Ning Lan called him.

"Ning Xi, do you have money now?" Ning Lan asked.

Ning Xi paused for a moment and asked, "Aunt, how much money do you want? What do you want the money for?"

"I..." Ning Xi paused, with a hint of guilt in his voice, and then said forcefully: "Of course I need money for something. Do you have any? If you do, transfer it to me quickly. I want thirty thousand."

Thirty thousand is not a lot, but it is not a little either.

If Ning Lan really encountered something, or if she wanted to spend the money on herself, Ning Xi would definitely give it to her.

However, Ning Xi did not forget that there is also a blood-sucking worm, Zhao Kailin.

So she patiently said, "Aunt, what happened to you? Tell me what happened first. I'm free today, how about I help you?"

When Ning Lan heard that Ning Xi was coming, she felt even more guilty. It was obvious that she wanted the money just to give it to Zhao Kailin.

Although she handed the house over to the agent, there has been no news until now. Zhao Kailin sent her a message asking for money, and also said that she might have been targeted by the police and had to leave the country immediately.

After hearing this, she could no longer sit still and could only call Ning Xi.

But she also knew that if Ning Xi knew this was the case, he would definitely not give her the money. Thinking of this, she began to resent Ning Xi again.

I think she is so ungrateful. She raised the two sisters to such an age and gave her 30,000 yuan, yet she still asked for such clear information. It turned out that she could not tame a wolf cub.

"No, I will take care of it, but I'm short of money. If you still treat me as your aunt, transfer 30,000 to me, otherwise forget it!"

After saying that, Ning Lan hung up the phone directly, fearing that Ning Xi would continue to ask her what she wanted the money for.

Ning Xi held the silent phone in his hand, brows furrowed.

Qin Yan came back with the medicine and saw her looking at her phone with a serious face. He didn't know what she was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask, "Ning Xi, what's wrong with you?"
