Ming Shu came offline. It was very tranquil and quiet in the room, with just a trace of coldness.
She was surrounded by plants. Some kind of flower seemed to be in bloom, suffusing the space with a faint fragrance.
Si Chen sat behind the office table and stared at her with crossed legs. Ming Shu wondered how long he had been there.
His eyes were dark without any light, and his expression was a little fierce; normal people would be afraid to look at him.
Ming Shu took off her game helmet calmly, then murmured while rubbing her belly, “It’s already this late. I’m so hungry.”
She wouldn’t be afraid of the little goblin.
Si Chen put down his legs and waved generously. “You saved me last time, so I’ll treat you with a meal to express my thanks.”
What’s the little goblin planning now?
…
Si Chen took Ming Shu to a hot pot restaurant, noisy and activity in full swing. Hmm, interesting, Ming Shu thought.
Si Chen took off his suit, revealing sportswear underneath. He wore a baseball hat and sat there like a bandit. You really couldn’t tell that he was a boss.
Si Chen showed more of his strong domineering aura. “Order whatever you want to eat.”
Ming Shu was a little confused over what this little goblin wanted to do, but in the face of food, she didn’t have time to care about anything else.
If he was really scheming something, she would just give him a fierce beating.
That’s it.
Soon, the waiter served the dishes. The red soup base boiled, and the thin piece of meat curled into small rolls immediately after being put into the boiled soup, then was cooked well.
Ming Shu dipped the meat in the sauce and blew on it twice, then immediately put it into her mouth.
It was hot at first, then spicy and numbing… The taste made her feel like she couldn’t feel her own tongue.
Si Chen smiled at her. “Does it taste good?”
Ming Shu looked down at the dipping sauce in the bowl and saw no difference with that before Si Chen.
But it was indeed spicy and numbing. She couldn’t even taste the meat’s flavor.
Ming Shu drank the beverage.
Si “Bandit” Chen: “Eat more if you like it. It’s all my treat.”
Ming Shu gave him a look and didn’t say anything.
Si Chen somehow flinched under Ming Shu’s gaze, but then he straightened his back immediately. She persecuted him so excessively in the office, how could he not take revenge?
Ming Shu called the waiter to change the dipping sauce, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
She had to feed herself full so that she would have the strength to beat him.
Si Chen: “…”
That night, Si Chen went back covering his waist.
Don’t misunderstand.
It was because of a fierce beating.
She even dared to threaten him! I don’t like her and I’ll fire her right away.
“Mr. Si, you…”
“What do you say, is she sick or not!” Si Chen cursed Ming Shu while facing his assistants.
Assistant #1 didn’t know whether he should agree with his boss or not.
“Ah! Easy, do you also want to stab me dead!” Si Chen shouted at Assistant #2 who was applying liquid medicine for him.
Assistant #1asked weakly under Si Chen’s angry roaring, “Mr. Si, do you really hate Ji He so much?”
“You tell me!” Si Chen gritted his teeth. “I’ve never hated someone like this in my whole life, I’m so angry.”
Assistant #1 took a few steps back. “But… If you hated someone, you used to drive the person away.”
“Wouldn’t it be too easy for her to just go away?” Si Chen said. “I won’t let her go so easily.”
Assistant #1 wiped away his cold sweat and had to remind his boss, “Every time… It seems that you are the one who gets injured.”
And you didn’t seem very angry after cursing around.
Si Chen realized something and stared at his assistant. “What are you implying?”
Assistant #1 continued stepping backward. “Mr. Si, have you ever thought that, perhaps, you don’t hate Ji He…”
Si Chen grabbed the liquid medicine from Assistant #2 and threw it toward Assistant #1. “I don’t hate her? Do you think I like her?”
Assistant #1nodded his head, risking his life. “Perhaps…”
Si Chen shouted like a suddenly erupting volcano, “Get out, get out! You, what are you looking at, get out of here! Both of you!”
Assistant #2who was accidentally involved in the cursing, was very innocent, but he also had to flee with his tail between his legs.
Mr. Si was really very terrible when he got angry.
After getting out of the room, the two assistants stood outside, listening to the banging noises inside, and looked at each other with confounded eyes, appearing very embarrassed.
The next day, they saw Si Chen come out wearing sunglasses.
Si Chen went downstairs to walk around and vent his anger, then went to the first floor to vent some more. After throwing the whole villa into chaos and startling every single person in it, Si Chen found that Ming Shu didn’t come to work.
The anger that had just been vented out gathered again immediately. He smacked the desk. “Where is she? It’s already this late, why hasn’t she come to work yet? What does she think the company is? A vegetable market?”
Assistant #3 answered in a low voice, “…Ji He doesn’t feel well and took the day off.”
Doesn’t feel well!
She took the day off!
These words smashed Si Chen’s anger back.
Si Chen went back to his office despondently.
“Doesn’t feel well… How? Why am I so concerned about her? Do I really like her? Are you kidding me? That’s impossible…”
Si Chen walked around in the room.
“I should log into the game and calm down. I must have been pissed off by that witless young girl.”
Si Chen put on the game helmet.
But he immediately fumed after getting online and opening his friends list.
Didn’t she say that she didn’t feel well?
Why was she online in the game?!
Did she take the day off to play games?
Si Chen: Why didn’t you come to work?
A minute passed, no reply.
Two minutes passed, no reply.
Five minutes passed, no reply.
Si Chen: If you don’t show up, I’ll deduct all your salary!
Ten minutes passed, no reply.
Si Chen: Very good, Ji He, you’re good, don’t come to work ever again if you have the guts!
After typing the angry words, Si Chen stared at them a little repentantly. He wanted to rescind them, but that function was not provided.
He should make his employees add that function to this game.
After about five minutes, Si Chen’s private chat jumped out.
Wind He Rising: Mr. Si, didn’t you see that I’m on a mission? Besides, I asked for leave.
On a mission?
He didn’t really notice that.
Si Chen: You took the day off to play games?
Wind He Rising: What I want to do after asking for leave, Mr. Si, that has nothing to do with you. Again, if you don’t like me, just kick me out of the company.
Si Chen squinted his eyes.
Did she want to leave so badly?
She wished!
She shaved his hair and made him look like this, now she wanted to walk away so easily? No way!
Si Chen searched for where Ming Shu was now and transferred himself over; he happened to see then that Ming Shu was in a fight.
The place was surrounded by players, tightly packed.
The other party seemed to be…
From Team HS?
With official accounts.
“We asked A Soft Smile, not you. What happened to you!”
“My disciple said she wouldn’t sell.” Ming Shu held her weapon in her hand and knocked on the player’s arm guard, grinning. “Don’t you understand human language?”
“Wind He Rising, don’t be so arrogant by relying on your powerful skill!” one of the team members from HS scolded Ming Shu.
Ming Shu: “If I don’t become very arrogant when I’m powerful, then when?”
The Team HS’s member: “As a saying goes that one mountain is higher than another, you think you’re very powerful? In front of us pros, you’re nothing!”
Ming Shu gathered strength in her hand and the team member’s arm guard broke. She smiled very slowly and lightly. “You’re right. But in front of me, you’re nothing.”
The next second, the Team HS member flew out.
“Have a good journey and feel free to be beaten next time.”
“Master…” A Soft Smile called in a low voice.
A Soft Smile originally intended to sell to her Mr. Prince, but the HS’s men said something that happened to provoke her outburst.
So she argued with them.
And then Ming Shu came.
They started a fight soon due to disagreeing opinions.
Then it became the scene that Si Chen was seeing right now.
