Zheng Wei leaned behind her, watching her close her eyes. He chuckled again. "You think closing your eyes is enough? If you close your eyes, I'll want to kiss you even more."
Na Gu, emerging from the independent kitchen, shivered all over at the sudden, mushy words from young Master Zheng.
The stimulation of having a love rival truly made a difference. In the past, she couldn't have imagined young Master Zheng saying such sweet nothings. It would have been a miracle if he didn't freeze the girl to death.
After finishing Shen Xiaoyan's acupuncture treatment, Na Gu politely asked, "Doctor, dinner is ready at home. Would you like to eat here?"
Sima Han's reply was swift and decisive. "Then I'll trouble you, Na Gu."
"Get out!" Zheng Wei was not polite with him, pointing towards the door and telling him to leave.
Sima Han just smiled.
Shen Xiaoyan reached out, took Zheng Wei's hand, and shook her head at him.
Sima Han's lunch was truly delicious. He even exchanged a few words with Shen Xiaoyan during the meal. However, Shen Xiaoyan needed her phone to speak, and using it so frequently interfered with her eating. Therefore, Zheng Wei directly confiscated her phone.
"Haven't you heard of 'eat in silence, sleep in silence'?" Zheng Wei looked at Sima Han with disdain.
Sima Han smiled, a mysterious smile on his face.
...
After seeing Sima Han off, Zheng Wei transformed back into a doting husband, his eyes constantly fixated on Shen Xiaoyan.
"Aren't you going to work?" Shen Xiaoyan typed on her phone.
Zheng Wei hugged Shen Xiaoyan from the front, like a petulant child. He lowered his head and nuzzled her hair, asking, "After sending Sima Han away just now, you were so eager to get rid of me? Then what's the difference in my treatment compared to Sima Han's?"
Shen Xiaoyan quickly shook her head.
"I'll stay with you for a while, then go to work in the afternoon. Without you by my side, the office feels so empty." Zheng Wei's words flowed smoothly now. This was an experience he had gained from dreams: be aloof in front of outsiders, but never with a woman. He had to completely capture her heart, otherwise, she could easily be snatched away.
Shen Xiaoyan had indeed been very tired these past few days. Zheng Wei held her as they sat on the sofa, and she comfortably leaned into his embrace. In no time, she fell asleep.
At 1:30 PM, Zheng Wei prepared to leave. Shen Xiaoyan was still asleep in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, then carefully placed her on the bed before reluctantly departing.
Men, after all, had to earn money to support their families. If he didn't want her to be stolen away, he had to earn a mountain of money!
Of course, Zheng Wei's definition of "a mountain of money" was obviously not what ordinary people would imagine.
...
Shen Xiaoyan woke up around 3 PM. The first thing she did was go to the study to finish the unfinished garment. Once everything was tidied up, she carefully placed the set of clothes into a bag and was about to head downstairs.
"Xiaoyan, where are you going?" Na Gu asked, still holding a plate of fruit prepared for her.
"To the group," Shen Xiaoyan showed Na Gu her phone.
Seeing that she was going to the group, Na Gu immediately asked, "You're not planning to drive yourself, are you? Young Master Zheng specifically told me to look after you. Wait here, I'll call the driver." They had a driver at home, although Zheng Wei had been driving himself these days.
Na Gu was quick. Within five minutes, the driver had arrived.
Shen Xiaoyan thought she was going alone, but Na Gu also got into the car.
Seeing Shen Xiaoyan's confused expression, Na Gu said as she closed the car door, "I have to make sure you get to Young Master Zheng safely. I won't go in. Once I see Young Master Zheng pick you up, I'll leave. I'll be at ease knowing you'll be brought home by Young Master Zheng tonight!"
Shen Xiaoyan smiled and thanked her.
"Oh, you silly child. Wait here, I'll call Young Master Zheng!"
Although Na Gu was not young, she was very efficient. By the time the car stopped outside Zheng Corporation, Assistant Hou was already waiting.
"Alright, you go up with Assistant Hou. I have to go back and feed the dogs. Oh, and our Hami Melon needs to go to the vet for its tail today!"
Hearing Na Gu's words, Shen Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone at home treated the two dogs like babies.
"Madam, shall we go? The boss is still in a meeting!" Assistant Hou was very fond of Shen Xiaoyan. Although it seemed there was some gap between Shen Xiaoyan and Zheng Wei on the surface, it couldn't be denied that she had immense personal charm. Assistant Hou was sharp and could discern a person's character after a few interactions.
Once inside the elevator, Shen Xiaoyan shook her head and handed Assistant Hou the message she had typed on her phone.
"I want to see Vice President Na." This was Shen Xiaoyan's purpose for coming today.
"Pfft!" Assistant Hou almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Madam, to be honest, Old Na has been acting up these days. Today she wore a super pink miniskirt, and the entire group knows about it from the Brand Department's complaints." Assistant Hou couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke. However, he also felt that Old Na's change was good; at least she didn't care about others' opinions.
"I want to talk to her. If you're worried, you can come with me." Shen Xiaoyan offered.
Seeing that Shen Xiaoyan had proactively suggested he accompany her, Assistant Hou naturally agreed. The boss was still in a meeting, and since the boss had entrusted this task to him, he had to ensure Madam's safety.
"Okay, I'll go up with Madam. Old Na can be a bit intimidating." Assistant Hou hesitated to say that Old Na had always had a peculiar habit: she was generally dismissive of women.
Shen Xiaoyan shook her head, smiling reassuringly.
Assistant Hou led Shen Xiaoyan directly to the Brand Department. Upon seeing the two of them arrive, everyone in the Brand Department craned their necks and poked their heads out to look.
"Whoever stares will have their salary docked," Assistant Hou said with a grin, turning to the group of people in the Brand Department.
When they heard about salary deductions, no one doubted his words. Assistant Hou indeed had the authority!
Shen Xiaoyan remained very quiet. Assistant Hou knocked on the Vice President's office door. He pushed it open and gestured for Shen Xiaoyan to enter first.
As Shen Xiaoyan walked in, she and Na Muzhong were both stunned.
Na Muzhong was surprised that the former "mistress" she had targeted was now openly coming to see her. As for Shen Xiaoyan, she had indeed learned from Assistant Hou that Na Muzhong was wearing a pink miniskirt today, but she hadn't expected the pink to be so... well, somewhat gaudy, especially for a fashion designer. Shen Xiaoyan felt an urge to ask her to change immediately.
"Why has the Madam come?" Na Muzhong's surprise lasted only a moment. She stood up, and despite wearing that pink miniskirt, she exuded a powerful aura as she rose.
"Madam wants to talk to you," Assistant Hou explained on behalf of Shen Xiaoyan, who couldn't speak at the moment.
Shen Xiaoyan nodded and extended her hand, handing the bag she was carrying to Na Muzhong.
Na Muzhong raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
"It's a gift for you," Assistant Hou immediately understood Shen Xiaoyan's intention.
Shen Xiaoyan nodded.
"I designed it, and it should suit you very well," Shen Xiaoyan typed a message for Na Muzhong to see.
Upon seeing the message, Na Muzhong instinctively frowned. "You think the clothes I'm wearing are not good?"
"The clothes are beautiful, but they don't suit you." The clothes she was wearing were only suitable for a young girl, not for a queenly demeanor!
Seeing these words appear on Shen Xiaoyan's phone, Na Muzhong's face darkened again. What did she mean by "unsuitable"?
"How can you two be like this? One tells me to wear whatever I want, and the other says what I'm wearing is not good?" Na Muzhong was getting a little agitated. She had been in a very good mood today, wearing her pink miniskirt, but as soon as she saw the words on Shen Xiaoyan's phone, she felt her good mood was ruined.
Shen Xiaoyan didn't explain much. She had left a note inside the clothes. If Na Muzhong truly wore this set of clothes, she would naturally see her words.
Therefore, after handing the bag to Na Muzhong, Shen Xiaoyan prepared to leave.
"Madam, aren't you going to say anything else?" Assistant Hou asked carefully when he saw Shen Xiaoyan preparing to leave.
Shen Xiaoyan nodded.
Assistant Hou gestured to Na Muzhong before leaving with Shen Xiaoyan.
...
After Shen Xiaoyan and the others left, Na Muzhong, still wearing her miniskirt, finally picked up the bag of clothes.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious. She had done her research on the Madam after returning and naturally knew that Shen Xiaoyan was a fashion designer.
However, when she opened the bag, her eyes were immediately drawn to a piece of paper inside.
The handwriting on the paper was beautiful. It meticulously described Na Muzhong's temperament and physique, and even offered many suggestions, such as advising her to pay attention to the waistline when buying clothes...
After reading that passage, Na Muzhong's eyes involuntarily flickered. She let out a sarcastic laugh. "The boss is such a good person, how did he marry someone so fussy!"
Despite her words, she still took out the set of clothes below.
Upon seeing them, Na Muzhong's eyes widened in astonishment.
...
Shen Xiaoyan had said she wouldn't come to the group, so hearing that she had suddenly appeared, Zheng Wei's mood was excellent.
After the meeting, he ignored the questions from the executives, dropped his things, and returned to his office. When he reached the door of the CEO's office, he casually tapped on the glass and asked Assistant Hou, who looked up, "Did you prepare something for her to eat?"
"Don't worry, boss, everything is prepared." Assistant Hou felt that the boss was being overly worried; how could he not handle such a small matter?
"Very good," Zheng Wei raised an eyebrow and then pushed the door open.
Shen Xiaoyan was holding a tablet, drawing something on it, her head bowed in concentration, only occasionally taking a piece of fruit.
"I heard you went to give Na Muzhong a gift? I haven't received any gifts from you at all! You actually went to give Na Muzhong a gift?" Zheng Wei already had some suspicions, but in front of Shen Xiaoyan, he firmly believed in the principle: the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Indeed, as Zheng Wei said this, Shen Xiaoyan felt a little guilty. She had only bought Zheng Wei one set of clothes before, and as for gifts, there hadn't been any.
Seeing Shen Xiaoyan's thoughtful expression, Zheng Wei knew he had won more than half the battle.
"Alright, don't think about it anymore. We'll discuss everything after your voice recovers." Zheng Wei lowered his head, cupped the back of Shen Xiaoyan's head, and kissed her. Shen Xiaoyan had just eaten strawberries, and her lips tasted sweet.
