Chapter 67 Creating a Misunderstanding
After washing up, Liu Sisi tidied up her bedroom a little.
She lay on the bed holding her phone, noticing that Lin Xuedong hadn't replied to her messages. She felt a little worried and a little disappointed.
It's already 3 a.m., is he asleep? Or is he still socializing?
He's a sensible person. Besides, with Ah Xiao by his side, there shouldn't be any problems...
After tossing and turning for a while, Liu Sisi realized that she still missed him terribly. They had only been apart for a day, but in the deep of night, alone, this seemingly boundless longing quietly crept into her heart.
"Are you asleep? I just finished tidying up. I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep too. Goodnight."
She pressed send, gripped her phone, and gazed at the white ceiling above her. She smiled foolishly, murmuring, "Honey, I miss you~".
In the early morning in G City, Zeng Ziyan, carrying a glass of lemon honey water, rang the doorbell of Lin Xuedong's room. She thought that the man, who had been drinking heavily all night, would feel terrible when he woke up, so she ordered a glass of honey water for him to sober up early.
The sleeping man shifted his muscular body, squinted, and then slightly opened his eyes. Coming back to his senses, his handsome features hardened.
He naturally raised his right hand, crossed his thumb and middle finger, and rubbed his temples, where there was a throbbing pain like after a hangover.
The doorbell rang persistently, gradually waking the man.
"Mr. Lin, good morning~." As the door opened, a handsome man wearing a loose bathrobe, still sleepy-eyed, exuding a captivating masculine charm, greeted her. Zeng Ziyan couldn't help but swallow, blushing as she smiled and greeted him.
"Oh, Ziyan, is something the matter?" Lin Xuedong yawned, ignored her, and turned to walk back.
Zeng Ziyan followed him into the room and placed the honey water on the coffee table. "President Lin, are you alright? I've come to bring you some hangover soup."
"Okay, thank you. I'll drink it after I've washed up." After saying that, he didn't say anything more and stepped into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of the shower running came from the bathroom, and just then, Lin Xuedong's phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.
Zeng Ziyan walked over and picked up his phone; the caller ID was Liu Sisi. She glanced up at the bathroom door and narrowed her eyes.
He pressed the call button, then slowly brought the phone to his lips, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Good morning~, are you up yet?" The other person spoke up first, their tone light and cheerful.
"Sorry, Brother Xue Dong... he's still taking a shower," Zeng Ziyan said deliberately in an ambiguous tone.
"Thump!" Liu Sisi froze. How could it be her? They... they were together last night?! "Zeng Ziyan? Why did you answer his call?"
"Hehe~, Liu Sisi, I'm sitting on his bed right now. He's taking a shower, what's wrong with me answering the phone for him? You're really being ridiculous." As his assistant, what's so strange about her answering the phone for him when he's not available? However, Zeng Ziyan was feeling incredibly pleased at that moment.
She didn't bother arguing with Liu Sisi; enough was enough for her to misunderstand. "Why are you calling so early to bother Brother Xuedong? What do you want?"
"you!"
"What do you mean 'what do you mean'? If you have nothing to do, don't call and bother us anymore." Zeng Ziyan said, then slammed down the phone.
Because Lin Xuedong hadn't locked his phone, she quickly glanced at the bathroom door and heard the sound of running water still inside. Delighted, she opened Liu Sisi's message box, deleted all her calls and unread messages, and then put her phone back where it was.
After calming herself down, she sat back down on the sofa in the living room and waited for Lin Xuedong, a sinister smile on her face.
Liu Sisi, just you wait, soon this man will be mine!
In City S, during the busy Friday morning commute, the weather was hot and humid, and the roads were congested with people and vehicles.
Sitting in the taxi back to Lin's, Liu Sisi pursed her lips, gripped her phone, and Zeng Ziyan's voice kept echoing in her mind. She was very excited; her chest heaved, as if the surrounding oxygen wasn't enough to allow her to breathe freely.
They've been together all night?
Too busy to even check or reply to a single message? Why do you go straight to take a shower first thing in the morning?
Liu Sisi couldn't control her thoughts, which kept wandering to all sorts of random things.
I didn't sleep much last night, and when I woke up this morning I thought I'd hear his voice. But... ugh! The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was so irritable, and even my lower abdomen felt a little uncomfortable.
Liu Sisi frowned. This period seemed different from usual. The flow was unusually heavy, and it had been four days already with no sign of stopping. This discomfort was causing her a lot of frustration.
Upon arriving at the office, Xiaobai leaped up and jumped right in front of her. She grinned widely, excited to see Liu Sisi. "Sisi, good morning!"
"Good morning~." Liu Sisi smiled back, feeling much more at ease seeing someone familiar and trustworthy. "How are you? Is everything alright here?"
"What could be wrong with me? Everything's fine. But you... why do you look so pale?" Xiaobai asked worriedly, blinking her eyes.
"I didn't get to sleep until 3 a.m. last night. I'm exhausted from all the running around!" Liu Sisi said with a self-deprecating laugh before walking straight into her office.
"Oh dear, my poor little thing. Would you like me to make you a cup of coffee to wake you up?" Xiaobai followed her in; she had always admired his tenacity at work.
Liu Sisi casually put down her bag, placed her phone on the desk, smiled, and said, "I can do it myself."
No sooner had Liu Sisi left than her phone rang. Xiao Bai walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and saw that the caller was clearly Lin Xuedong.
"It's the big boss," she answered without hesitation, responding respectfully, "Mr. Lin, hello. Are you looking for Secretary Liu?"
"Who are you......?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Lin, this is Xiaobai, Secretary Liu's assistant. Secretary Liu just had to leave. Could you please have her call you back later?"
"Oh, I see. It's nothing, I'll just text her." Lin Xuedong hung up without saying anything more.
On the way to the Jebsen factory, Lin Xuedong held his phone, gazing thoughtfully at the receding scenery outside the window.
Last night, he was so drunk he was completely out of it, and this little woman actually followed suit and didn't say a word. Does she really not care? Ha, she seems to have quite a big heart.
"President Lin, President Jiang agreed last night that after we inspect all the factory buildings this afternoon, we will officially sign a contract with him." Zeng Ziyan interrupted his thoughts in time. She wanted to keep him hanging and not give him a chance to send a message to Liu Sisi to explain.
She's got it all planned out; the business banquet in S City tomorrow night is all set. With Chen Meiyuan's help, she's determined to win him over this time.
"Hmm, very good. You worked hard last night." Lin Xuedong glanced at her, his expression calm.
Zeng Ziyan felt a little embarrassed by his praise. She raised her hand to smooth a stray hair beside her cheek and glanced at him. Bathed in the light and shadow from the window, the man's fair face had a rosy glow, his brows exuding a heroic spirit, and his lips were beautifully shaped. His formal attire conveyed a noble and leisurely air, making him exceptionally charming...
At that moment, Zeng Ziyan seemed to hear her own heart pounding.
The man seemed to sense that he was being stared at, and he turned his face away somewhat awkwardly.
Zeng Ziyan sighed inwardly, wondering whether she should change the subject.
"There are many undercurrents in business dealings, and it's sometimes hard to stay out of it. It must be really upsetting for a girl like you to face all this backstabbing and deceit," Lin Xuedong remarked, sharing his observations.
Mentioning this, Zeng Ziyan was full of complaints. "Exactly, that President Jiang is no good."
"Thankfully, Assistant Xiao took care of things last night." She sighed, looking at Xiao in front of her, and couldn't help but feel grateful. Otherwise, as he said, she really wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed.
“Assistant Zeng, unfortunately, we can’t get rid of Jiang Jinhui right now.” Ah Xiao, in the driver’s seat, glanced at the rearview mirror at Zeng Ziyan and Lin Xuedong sitting in the back seat.
Zeng Ziyan felt deeply helpless. "Sigh~."
"So, in the future, you'll also need to cultivate some people to support you," Lin Xuedong gently reminded her.
She nodded modestly. "Yes, I understand."
