President, please comfort me.

Upon hearing his words, Wen Qi's good mood vanished instantly. She felt a burning sensation on her face and a sense of embarrassment. The corners of her mouth gradually turned down, and she turned to look at Aunt Zhang somewhat apologetically, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, but don't bother me." Then she turned and her disheveled figure quickly disappeared at the top of the stairs.

She returned to her room, pouted, and muttered that Xiao He had gone too far. It was one thing for him to mock her in private, but she could still find reasons to comfort herself and not hold it against him. However, he had just attacked her in front of a stranger. Even with her good temper, she couldn't pretend to be nonchalant and sit down to continue eating, especially since she wasn't exactly good-tempered.

After lingering in the room for a while, Wen Qi figured that Xiao He had already left, so she grabbed her bag and went downstairs again.

Surprisingly, Xiao He was still sitting there. Aunt Zhang had already heated up the dishes. Wen Qi didn't eat. After saying goodbye, she left without giving the person on the sofa a second glance.

Aunt Zhang was a little embarrassed to encounter such a scene on her first day at Xiao He's house. She turned to look at Xiao He and waited for his signal.

Xiao He had been holding his breath since last night, but remembering what Tang Chao had said, he specially canceled his meeting this morning and went downstairs at 7:30 to wait for Wen Qi, hoping to ease the tension between the two.

As a result, I waited for a full three hours, getting increasingly angry. So, the moment I saw her, I blurted out a bunch of random things without thinking.

Aunt Zhang was hired by him specifically to make breakfast and clean. She was available whenever he called during normal working hours and could leave once she finished her work.

He didn't like having too many people in his household, so he only hired Aunt Zhang at a high salary.

Xiao He felt that he was probably poisoned. He used to be a man of his word and never regretted any of his decisions, but now, in just the last two or three days, he had repeatedly regretted his actions.

Words spoken are words that cannot be taken back. Xiao let Aunt Zhang leave first, and then he went to the company.

Wenqi took a taxi, bought breakfast, and then went to buy an electric scooter.

After browsing a few stores, she quickly made her purchases and then rode her electric scooter to a supermarket near Chunfengli. She planned to buy some ingredients to make some desserts for Achen.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, having bought everything she needed, Wenqi returned to Spring Breeze.

The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, and I made cupcakes, egg tarts, cream puffs, and two servings of fruit salad in just two hours.

I divided the dessert into three portions, packed two of them up, and ate the remaining portion for dinner. I had a simple lunch at a roadside stall, and since I was starving, I wolfed it down. After cleaning up the kitchen, I went upstairs.

At eight o'clock, the sound of a car came from the courtyard. Wen Qi put on a coat and went downstairs. She ran into Xiao He on the first floor. This time she didn't say anything. Everyone has a little temper. She took the packaged desserts and fruit salad from the refrigerator and went to find Achen.

Xiao He watched her walk out with the box, and he, who was always arrogant, couldn't bring himself to say anything.

I went to the refrigerator to get some water, and when I opened it, I saw the exact same box that Wen Qi had just been holding. I couldn't help but feel a little excited, so I took the water and sat on the sofa in the living room to wait for her.

Wen Qi arrived at A Chen's door and knocked: "Brother A Chen, it's me, Wen Qi."

After hearing the sound, Ah Chen hesitated for a second, then quickly put on his clothes and went to open the door.

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Here, this is for you. I made it myself. Try it and see if it's good."

Ah Chen looked surprised: "Thank you, I haven't eaten yet."

"What a coincidence! You eat first, I'm leaving."

"it is good."

Wen Qi returned to the main building. After entering, she saw Xiao He but didn't say anything and went straight upstairs.

Xiao He realized he had been overthinking things when he saw her go upstairs without saying a word. She had no intention of giving him food. He was secretly relieved that he had ordered food in advance.

After taking a shower, Ah Chen came to the main building for dinner. Seeing Xiao He, he naturally assumed that Wen Qi had also given him some, and praised him with a happy expression: "If I had known, we wouldn't have ordered food. I didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so good at cooking. Her desserts are even better than those sold outside. I'm almost full."

Xiao He listened to his rambling on and on, feeling a pang of resentment. He said sourly, "If you're full, go back to sleep. Nobody's forcing you to eat."

Ah Chen was used to being scolded, so he didn't pay much attention to his tone. He wiped his mouth, let out a burp, and said, "Well, Brother Xiao, I'll be going now. Get some rest." Then he slipped away.

After Ah Chen left, Xiao He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He didn't have much of an appetite, ate a little something, and went upstairs.

-

The next day.

Today was Wenqi's first day at work. She was supposed to start at nine, but she didn't get up until eight. Fortunately, it only took her about fifteen minutes to get there by electric scooter in the spring breeze.

As usual, she put on light makeup and went to the kitchen. Just like yesterday, she saw Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang called her to have breakfast. Wen Qi nodded and greeted her, but then declined. She opened the refrigerator, took out a dessert that was left over from yesterday, and left.

After Wen Qi left, Aunt Zhang hurriedly called Xiao He to report: "Sir, Madam came downstairs, but she left without having breakfast."

Xiao He was having a morning meeting at the Xiao Group at the time. Before leaving, he specifically asked Aunt Zhang to remind Wen Qi to eat breakfast.

In the silent office, Xiao He answered the phone directly in front of all the senior executives. Hearing Aunt Zhang's words, he couldn't help but frown: "What time did she come downstairs?"

Aunt Zhang: "Around 8:30."

Xiao He frowned: "Well, you should go back first."

Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Good, good." She couldn't help but sigh to herself: High salary with high pressure, I really have it tough.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao was a little worried that Wen Qi was hungry. He thought that since she was embarrassed to eat because of what he had said yesterday, it wasn't good, right?

After thinking for a while, he sent a text message to Achen: Go to "Tang Yue" that Tang Yue keeps talking about, buy some food and send it to Wen Qi. Just say it's to thank her for the food she sent yesterday.

When Ah Chen saw the text message, his eyes darted around. As a fellow foodie, he naturally knew this restaurant.

He muttered to himself: This restaurant is notorious for its long queues; reservations are required for everything.

However, he was unusually perceptive and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he replied: I don't know where Xiaoqi is.

Just as the meeting ended, Xiao was the first to leave the office. Looking at A-Chen outside the door, he was furious: "Didn't you add her contact information just for fun? Don't you have a mouth? Couldn't you ask?"

Ah Chen was incredulous at his sudden outburst of anger. Could it be that the meeting hadn't gone well? That shouldn't be the case. Even if it had, the target of his anger shouldn't be him. It's really strange.

Before he could respond, Xiao He, seemingly too lazy to listen to his nonsense, spoke up again with unusual patience: "She reported to Xinwang Hehe today, to Group 1 of the Technology R&D Department."

Ah Chen touched his nose: "Oh, I'll go right away."

Half an hour later, Ah Chen used some connections and easily got to Tang Yue.

He didn't know what Wen Qi liked to eat, so he bought a little of everything and delivered it to the entrance of Xinwanghehe, the building next to Xiao's Group, and then dialed Wen Qi's number.

Wenqi was listening to the HR talk about onboarding when she hung up the phone and sent a questioning emoji.

Achen: Xiaoqi, I'm at your company entrance, come out for a bit.

Wen Qi: Please wait a moment, I'm in a meeting, it will be over soon.

Achen: Okay.

Ten minutes later, Wen Qi came out, slightly out of breath, wearing high heels: "Brother Chen, what brings you here?"

Ah Chen raised his chin and smiled warmly: "I passed by a pastry shop this morning when I was running errands, and I thought I'd bring you some. Here you go." As he spoke, he handed Wen Qi a large box of food.

Wen Qi smiled slightly, a slight curve to her lips: "Thank you."

"Don't mention it. The dessert you brought me yesterday was delicious. I'm just returning the favor. I'll be going now. Please come in."

"Okay, bye-bye."
