“Mhm.”
There was silence.
Huo Yunting struggled mentally for a while. He then freed his hands from her and hugged around her soft waist.
He would let her off today.
“Don’t ever drink again until your stomach fully recovers.”
“Mhm.”
She gave a perfunctory reply. To drink or not to drink, it depended on the situation.
Xiang Jinxi was rarely in the office. So, she had to shoulder all the responsibilities of entertaining. Not drinking was not an option.
——
The Military, Z Country.
“Weight training, ten laps, now!”
The flag fluttered in the morning breeze as rows of soldiers in camouflage uniforms and with weapons on their backs lined up in the field with serious faces.
They sprung into action at the bark of an order.
Huo Chen stood on the stage, overlooking their orderly movements.
The breeze kept blowing over his cheeks, and he stood still.
Now, he had recovered from his injury and accepted the punishment. But he was still not allowed to go out.
He was eager to know how Yang Yang was doing.
An emotion riffled in Huo Chen’s eyes as he stood with his hands clenched into fists behind him.
Her time at home must be hard; mom must have been pulling a face at her.
Just then, footsteps came up beside him. He did not turn to look as he was in deep thought.
Huo Chen’s adjutant Song Shou, walked up to him and stood at his right rear side. “Sir, there will be a delivery of a batch of supplies to the military base in the city in three days. Do you want to apply to go along? I heard that many of your former subordinates had been transferred over there.”
The city...
Perhaps, Yang Yang might not be staying in the capital anymore; she could be working in the city, he thought.
“Don’t worry about this. I will personally talk to the deputy commander about it. Help me check on how Lu Zhaoyang is doing.”
“Yes, Sir.” The name, Lu Zhaoyang, was familiar to Song Shou as he knew that she was a girl whom the general had been missing all this while.
Huo Chen glanced at the field below and left.
——
Lu Zhaoyang felt more at ease these two days as Huo Yunting did not come to her apartment at night.
She wondered if Xiang Jinxi’s attendance at the cocktail party had reaped results; Ge Yu had been getting a lot more orders for the past few days, and deals just kept coming to them.
While she was happy, it also meant that there would be more work to do.
She would stay back tonight.
At 7 o’clock in the evening, Lu Zhaoyang received a chat message from Xiang Jinxi.
Are you in the office?
Did he have anything important to discuss at this hour?
Yes.
But she received no response from him again.
She continued to check the contract in hand, which was set to be signed with other firms tomorrow.
About fifteen minutes later, footsteps were heard. Lu Zhaoyang looked up and found that it was Xiang Jinxi and his assistant.
“President, is there anything?”
As Lu Zhaoyang finished asking, she found the lunch box in his hand.
“I just happen to pass by.” Xiang Jinxi put the food on her desk. “On the company. Employee’s perks.”
“Thank you.” Lu Zhaoyang did not give it much thought as she felt a little hungry indeed.
Standing in front of the desk, Xiang Jinxi took the contract in his hands and browsed through it silently.
Lu Zhaoyang ate very quietly for fear that she would disturb him.
When she finished, Xiang Jinxi put down the document and tapped his fingers. “I have read it. It is in order. You can go home now.”
So, did he come just to check the contract?
That was something worth celebrating.
“Okay.” Lu Zhaoyang cleared her desk and then looked up only to find that Xiang Jinxi was still there.
She took her bag and left.
Xiang Jinxi followed from behind and asked calmly, “Do you live alone?”
