Leng Chuanjin put the pillow back in its original position, then stood up and walked out of the door.
It was not until his back completely disappeared outside the door that Xia Sanghuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
She fastened the loose buttons on her chest and glanced at the wall clock.
It was even half an hour earlier than her usual waking time.
She yawned sleepily. Considering it was the weekend, she shrank back into the quilt.
But as soon as she lay back in bed, she instantly smelled the lingering scent of the man on the quilt and pillow.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, with last night's scenes filling her mind.
After ten minutes of struggling and gradually losing all drowsiness, she simply got out of bed.
She changed her clothes, washed up briefly, and then went downstairs.
By this time, Leng Chuanjin was already ready and sitting at the table having breakfast.
"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
Seeing her coming down the stairs, the man asked.
"I can't fall asleep anymore."
The girl rubbed her head, which felt a bit swollen due to lack of sleep, and sat down opposite him.
Uncle Wang brought her a bowl of warm porridge and chopsticks, then quietly withdrew.
"Sorry, I should have been more careful when I got up."
The man looked at her with a hint of apology.
"It's okay."
The girl shook her head.
She couldn't very well say that she actually woke up because she didn't want him to leave, could she?
"Why are you suddenly going to the company today?"
"There's an unexpected and tricky matter to deal with."
The man paused for a moment.
"Do you want to come with me?"
He asked as if suddenly remembering something.
Hearing his words, the girl was taken aback for a moment.
But she still nodded.
"Okay."
While Leng Chuanjin was buckling her seat - belt, she couldn't help but ask,
"Why do you suddenly want me to come with you?"
"Because..."
After buckling the seat - belt, the man sat up straight and looked her in the eye.
"I don't want to hide anything from you anymore."
Looking at his serious expression, Xia Sanghuan couldn't help but smile.
So that was the reason.
She recalled the scenes of arguing with Leng Chuanjin before.
She used to be so sensitive and suspicious, never imagining that he actually liked her.
This kind of mood always made her unconsciously show her bad side when facing him.
But fortunately, things were different now.
The man was using his actions to gradually make up for the gaps between them...
Meanwhile, Yun Ye was in the office, puzzled as to why Young Master Leng suddenly informed him that he didn't need to pick him up.
He originally thought that the young master had suddenly cancelled today's overtime, but then he was still called to the company.
As he was organizing the documents the young master would need today, he yawned helplessly.
Just then, a call came from the security room.
"Manager Yun, a lady who claims to be Shen Ruoyan has just entered the company."
"We wanted to stop her, but she showed the reservation slip personally approved by General Manager Leng, so..."
"I see."
Yun Ye's expression instantly became serious.
"I'll handle the rest. Make sure no other irrelevant people enter the company."
"Okay."
Yun Ye hung up the phone, feeling a bit of a headache.
As Leng Chuanjin's personal assistant, he of course knew about the second young lady of the Shen family pestering Young Master Leng.
If it weren't for the young master leaving a way out for himself in advance, who knew what kind of trouble this woman would cause.
He sat in front of the computer and turned on the monitor.
He saw Shen Ruoyan striding into the elevator. She was about to reach the young master's office floor.
It was too late to stop her now.
He sighed and resigned himself to going to the elevator to greet this young lady.
If given a choice, he would rather take care of the willful Leng Wanqing for a whole day than be in the same room with either of the Shen sisters.
"Welcome, Miss Shen."
As the elevator door opened with a "ding", he bowed slightly to the person and showed a standard smile.
"General Manager Leng will be here in about ten minutes. Please wait in the waiting room for a while."
Shen Ruoyan took off the sunglasses that almost covered half of her face, sized up Yun Ye in front of her, then handed her handbag to him.
"Lead the way."
Yun Ye dutifully led her into the waiting room and served her a cup of hot coffee.
"Is this how your president treats guests?"
She picked up the cup, took a small sip, then put it back on the table with a look of disgust.
"It's too bitter. Replace it with another one."
She glanced at Yun Ye's hard - working back, then lowered her head to examine her newly - done manicure from last night.
"You made an appointment yourself, but now you're making the guest wait."
Yun Ye brought her a newly - brewed mocha.
"If I remember correctly, the person Young Master Leng made an appointment with should be your elder sister.
Miss Shen changed the person to meet General Manager Leng without informing our company in advance. I think that's even more excessive."
His voice was still as gentle and elegant as usual, but the words he said were quite blunt, leaving no face for Shen Ruoyan.
The woman's face immediately darkened.
It was said that Leng Chuanjin was a man of his word and no one could go against him.
But that didn't mean his assistant could boss around the Shen family.
She slammed the coffee cup on the table. Before she could explode, there was a knock on the door.
Yun Ye quickly walked over to open the door.
"Miss Shen."
Seeing that it was Shen Ruoyan, Leng Chuanjin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But it was only for a moment. He quickly regained his usual calm and composed state.
Seeing him come, Shen Ruoyan immediately changed her expression.
She stood up smilingly and walked to the man's side.
"Brother Chuanjin, it's been a long time."
As she said this, she tried to hold his arm.
But the man took an imperceptible step back, just avoiding her outstretched hand.
"Brother Chuanjin, you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the girl the man had been holding by the hand.
After seeing clearly that it was Xia Sanghuan, her face instantly turned ugly.
"Brother Chuanjin, why did you bring an irrelevant person when you come to do business?"
Her eyes were sinister, and she emphasized the words "irrelevant person" heavily.
"Don't you think this makes the Leng family seem very insincere?"
Facing Shen Ruoyan's unfriendly gaze, Xia Sanghuan stared back without showing any weakness.
Although she had no interaction with her, she didn't like this woman at first sight.
Moreover, Shen Ruoyan used to be Leng Chuanjin's nominal "fiancée". It was impossible for her not to have any grudges.
Leng Chuanjin imperceptibly pulled the girl behind him, blocking the woman's gaze.
There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were extremely fierce.
