The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"No, this absolutely can't go on. This time, I'll stand up for you and get you a day off!" With that, the female worker left her post and went to Chen Xuan's small house.

"Sister Liu, please don't..." Zheng Yaqin tried to stop her, but the female worker surnamed Liu had already disappeared.

"Yes, we all agree! You'll work under Xiao Chen's supervision. When he sees how haggard you are, he'll definitely feel sorry for you. At that time, he'll definitely give you a leaf from the Immortal-level Tree of Life!"

"I……"

"I'm back!" The female worker surnamed Liu, who had just left, turned back, leaving the other women present somewhat stunned.

"I mean...you're back so soon?"

"Of course! Supervisor Chen approved it in a flash. What else could I do if I didn't come back?"

"He...he approved it? But I haven't agreed yet..." Zheng Yaqin blushed.

"Take a day off? What makes you agree to that? Yaqin, you are the most beautiful and charming among all of us female workers. This time you're going to assist Supervisor Chen, so you must seize the opportunity. If you can win his favor and affection, you can escape this sea of ​​suffering!" the female worker continued.

"Sister Wang! What are you saying! My son has already ascended to heaven, how could I possibly..." Zheng Yaqin blushed when she heard everyone say this.

"What happened?"

"Exactly, so what? Everyone who ascends to heaven has a story to tell! Besides, your son is probably still working hard in the mines right now. If you take down Supervisor Chen, wouldn't your future be... hahaha!"

"Sister Liu~" Zheng Yaqin stomped her foot shyly.

But after hearing so many female workers say this, her emotions began to become somewhat complicated.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Just do your job well today, and you can report to Supervisor Chen tomorrow."

"Okay, I... I'll give it a try." Zheng Yaqin finally nodded.

"That's great, Yaqin, you've finally figured it out!" the female worker clapped her hands happily.

"Yes, it's heartbreaking to see you getting more and more haggard every day. But now, Supervisor Chen is letting you rest, you're saved!"

Zheng Yaqin smiled, but she was still a little uneasy.

Although the female workers were teasing her and Chen Xuan, she didn't know Chen Xuan's true feelings.

"Sigh, forget it, I won't think about it too much. Anyway, there's no other way, so... I'll just treat it as a rest!" Zheng Yaqin thought to herself, and then returned to her post to continue mining.

Many female workers stared at Zheng Yaqin's retreating figure, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

"Hey Lao Liu, your acting is absolutely terrible! How can you leave one minute and come back the next? It's obviously acting!"

"Uh, I... I'm just used to being wild down there, I've never acted before. I'll be more careful next time, I'll be more careful next time!"

"Hmph, Zheng Yaqin has already agreed, so there's no chance of a next time! We can just go to Supervisor Chen's place after get off work to collect our Immortal-grade Life Leaves!"

"Tsk tsk, Zheng Yaqin is really lucky to have Supervisor Chen thinking about her so much!"

"Pah! It's all because you're ugly!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

……

The next morning, Zheng Yaqin arrived at the mine early, in front of the small stone house that Chen Xuan had built himself.

At this moment, for reasons unknown, she had dressed herself up carefully.

At this moment, she was wearing a dark blue long dress, with delicate orchids embroidered on the hem, and a ribbon tied around her waist, which perfectly outlined her figure.

She also styled her hair into an updo, securing it with a delicate hairpin, applied a light layer of makeup to her face, and wore a touch of bright red lip gloss, making her appear both elegant and sophisticated.

Standing at the door, she hesitated for a moment before finally knocking.

"Who!"

“It’s me… Zheng Yaqin! Today, I’m here to… to assist you, Supervisor Chen!” Zheng Yaqin said timidly, standing at the door.

"The door is not locked, come in."

"Oh." After receiving permission, Zheng Yaqin reached out and gently pushed open the door.

Then, she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and carefully lifted her small, delicate feet, stepping into Chen Xuan's small stone house.

However, the moment she stepped into the room, her gaze inadvertently swept over the scene inside, and a surge of hot heat rushed to her cheeks, instantly turning her originally fair face bright red.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was standing there wearing only a loose bathrobe. The bathrobe was loosely tied at the waist, revealing a large area of ​​his firm chest and strong muscle lines.

Zheng Yaqin was flustered and her mind went blank. Instinctively, she turned around and wanted to escape from this place that made her so embarrassed.

Before she could take two steps, a strong hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender wrist tightly.

"No, why did you run away like you'd seen a ghost when you saw me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would eat you up?"

Chen Xuan looked at Zheng Yaqin with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowing slightly.

At this moment, Zheng Yaqin's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, and all she could hear was the sound of her own heart pounding violently.

She lowered her head, not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye, and stammered, "No, it's not like that, it's just... it's just that I think your outfit is a bit too..."

At this point, she was too embarrassed to continue, and her pretty face turned even redder.

"What's so strange about this! It's just a bathrobe, nothing rare. You've probably never seen a bathrobe before, haven't you?"

Chen Xuan curled his lip dismissively, seemingly completely unaware of the impact his handsome image had on Zheng Yaqin.

“No, it’s not that, it’s that…” Zheng Yaqin said, pointing at Chen Xuan with her other finger.

Chen Xuan lowered his head and instantly understood.

"Ahem, it's early morning, and you woke me up again, so..."

"It's alright, I'll go tidy up now. You just wait here for me, and I'll arrange some work for you in a bit," Chen Xuan said. He then pulled Zheng Yaqin to the table and left the living room.

Zheng Yaqin sat in the chair, her hands tightly clasped on her knees, her heart pounding like a restless little rabbit.
