The person who came in was none other than Zheng Nanfeng, who had just hung up the phone.
He was tall and dressed in a simple yet elegant suit, looking even more handsome. However, although the suit seemed to be of high - end quality, for some reason it was a bit wrinkled.
It didn't take long for Ji Xiaoli to find out the reason.
"I'm dying of heat, Xiaoli. Why is your elevator broken? I had to climb all the way up from the first floor!" Even though Zheng Nanfeng was in good physical condition, climbing so many floors in one go still made him a bit tired.
Ji Xiaoli gave him a helpless look. "It's just the exclusive elevator that's broken. You could have taken the staff elevator."
Actually, she had just thought of this solution herself.
To Ji Xiaoli's relief, upon hearing this, Zheng Nanfeng was also stunned.
"How could I not have thought of that! Xiaoli, you're so smart."
Ji Xiaoli ignored the fact that she had also climbed up the stairs with a straight face. "Of course. And why did you come here?"
Zheng Nanfeng looked innocent. "Didn't you say you wanted to drink tea? So I came here to make tea for you."
I was just saying that out of anger!
This naive young master made Ji Xiaoli so speechless that she had to support her forehead.
Ji Xiaoli said, "Can't you tell I was just joking with you?"
Zheng Nanfeng blinked his eyes and showed a clean smile. "Since I've been taken care of by you, isn't it only right that I make tea for you?"
Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but burst out laughing and glared at Zheng, the so - called "kept man".
"And didn't you want to drink tea?" Without any self - awareness, Zheng walked up to her in a few steps and magically took out several delicate small boxes.
"What's this?"
"Tea leaves." Zheng Nanfeng beamed. "I didn't know which kind of tea you like, so I brought a bit of each."
Saying that, he fetched the tea set on his own and made the tea smoothly. He even made a cup of each kind of tea very considerately and placed them in front of Ji Xiaoli.
"Come and taste my craftsmanship!"
Ji Xiaoli was slightly surprised. "Can the great young master Zheng make tea?"
The smooth and proficient movements just now were really pleasing to the eye, even to her, a layman.
"Not at all." Zheng Nanfeng said modestly. "But my dad likes tea, so I've learned a bit."
Ji Xiaoli also honestly opened Zheng Nanfeng's account and transferred 66,666 yuan to him with a swipe.
"Thank you, CEO Ji." After receiving the money, Zheng Nanfeng asked, "Aren't you going to taste it first, CEO Ji?"
Ji Xiaoli said calmly, "No need. I trust your skills."
Zheng Nanfeng also smiled. "Since CEO Ji is so generous, I can't be stingy either."
Saying that, he handed Ji Xiaoli a paper bag.
Ji Xiaoli looked at him suspiciously. "What's this?"
"Open it and take a look first." Zheng Nanfeng looked at the sky and the ground but not at her.
Ji Xiaoli squinted her eyes.
She thought this guy really needed a good beating.
However, she still opened the bag and found a simple dress inside. The workmanship was exquisite and it was very much to Ji Xiaoli's taste.
When she looked down, she found that the hem of her own dress was full of stains.
"I saw on Weibo that the photos were taken today. I was afraid that you'd come straight to the company without a change of clothes, so I asked someone to buy one and bring it here."
Ji Xiaoli's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her tone softened a bit. "Thank you."
"What's there to thank for? The suit I'm wearing was also bought for me by my sugar mommy."
Zheng Nanfeng immediately walked a few steps in front of her showing off.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli recognized that it seemed to be the Kiton suit she had ordered for Zheng Nanfeng. She immediately said firmly, "No way!"
"What's not okay?"
"You can't spend money on me. As your sugar mommy, it's my job to spend money on you!" Ji Xiaoli frowned. "Write down what else you want."
...
After spending the money, Ji Xiaoli finally felt a bit more relaxed.
But soon she noticed something was wrong.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Zheng Nanfeng sipped his tea leisurely. "I'm going to stay and accompany you."
Ji Xiaoli: ...
"What do you accompany me for? Didn't you hang up my phone?"
Zheng Nanfeng suddenly realized and flattered her. "My phone was out of battery at that time. Then I was in a hurry to bring you tea. After I recharged it a bit and turned it on, I decided to come here in person to explain."
Why is it always the phone running out of battery?
Ji Xiaoli silently complained and then took out her phone.
Huh? Why is her phone out of battery too?
Not only was her phone out of battery, but the whole office suddenly went dark.
"What's going on?" Zheng Nanfeng was still a bit confused.
But Ji Xiaoli knew very well that it was probably her bad luck that had caused the whole office to lose power.
"It should be a power outage."
"But for this kind of large - scale office building, there is usually a self - provided generator." Zheng Nanfeng was obviously more familiar with this kind of environment.
Ji Xiaoli frowned slightly. "It should get better in a while."
"I'll go check it out first." Zheng Nanfeng said and then looked around.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear, Xiaoli?"
"Just tell me quickly."
Ji Xiaoli was a bit helpless. It was so annoying when people only said half of what they wanted to say.
Zheng Nanfeng didn't hold back. "The good news is that there's still some water in this office. The bad news is that the fingerprint lock is out of power and we can't get out, and both of our phones are out of battery."
Ji Xiaoli: ...?
She knew her luck was bad, but she didn't expect it to be this bad. Was it trying to trap her in this office?
...
Finally, the two of them managed to get out. They should thank Sister Chun, who came to find Ji Xiaoli. Otherwise, they would still be trapped.
Zheng Nanfeng volunteered to drive her home. But on the way, there was either a traffic jam or the car broke down.
"It's strange. My car is brand new. Why did it break down?" Zheng Nanfeng was a bit confused.
Ji Xiaoli coughed a few times and touched her nose guiltily. "It's okay. I'll buy you a few more later."
The car probably broke down because of her.
Zheng Nanfeng didn't know this. He was just simply a bit puzzled. He borrowed a phone from a passer - by and called someone to pick them up.
Because of her guilt, Ji Xiaoli talked very little.
When they arrived at her place, Ji Xiaoli thought that it might not be good to trouble Zheng Nanfeng so much today. She hesitated for a moment and was going to invite him to have a cup of tea.
"Do you want to stay and have a cup of tea?"
Zheng Nanfeng's eyes lit up immediately. "Sure. I'd love to."
Ji Xiaoli: Forget it. Can I take back what I just said?
Thinking like this, she was about to open the door when suddenly she froze.
Zheng Nanfeng was unexpectedly sharp. "Lost your keys?"
Ji Xiaoli, whose hand had been on the doorknob without moving, froze again.
Ji Xiaoli was stunned. She didn't expect her bad luck to be so strong. She couldn't even go back home!
"Um..."
Facing this situation, Zheng Nanfeng clapped his hands and shyly proposed,
"Then, Xiaoli, why don't you stay at my place!"
