- Chapter 147
- The moment Yuan Xinjiang mentioned a late–night snack, my alarm bells went off. Seeing him subtly signal AASTA I was certain. This snack was off–limits! I approached Evan, my heart tense, my face calm. CEO, your norintie forbids you from eating anything after 9:30 PM. Let’s skip this snack.”
- Evan’s deep eyes softened. “As you wish.”
- Yuan Xinjiang’s face darkened.“Secretary Wen is quite assertive.”
- I smiled formally.“Mr. Yuan, you’re joking. I wouldn’t dare. The Chairman’s wife asked me to supervise, the hired the nutritionist, who’s very strict, tracking everything. I’m just an employee; I’m in a difficult position
- Yuan Xinjiang snorted.“Using the Chairman’s wife to pressure me.”
- Me:“I wouldn’t dare.”
- “If the Chairman’s wife approves, can we have the snack?” Yuan Xinjiang pretended to call. He knew I was making it up–the nutritionist, the Chairman’s wife asking me to supervise. He wanted to scare me, forcing Evan to stop me from going. But neither of them reacted, waiting for him to call.
- Yuan Xinjiang pretended to search for a number. My inner thoughts: Go ahead. I bet you won’t. A messy elder calling a child’s mother at midnight to ask about a snack? The Chairman’s wife would probably kill him. This is why I did mention the Chairman; I mentioned his wife. My father cares about face and business; my mother doesn’t care, she l fight anyone who touches her child.
- Yuan Xinjiang’s expression grew uneasy. He cleared his throat. “It’s just a snack; it’s not a big deal. Let’s not bother Min Jones. Let’s go; don’t disrespect me.”
- Evan smiled at me.“Is that alright?” He usually had a cold demeanor; even his smiles didn’t reach his eyes, wasting those beautiful eyes. But now, the coldness was gone.
- I met his gaze, almost falling under his spell. I pinched myself, regaining my composure, shaking my head. “No! Absolutely not!”
- up.
- Evan looked regretfully at Yuan Xinjiang.“You heard? She’s very strict. I’ll get scolded if I disobey. His tone, his words, his expression… I knew he was acting, but I was still intimidated. Boss, you’re going too far! If you keep this never be able to clear our names!
- Yuan Xinjiang was furious. He gritted his teeth.“Just sit down; you don’t have to eat. I’ve already compromised. If Secretary Wen says no again, I’ll be angry.”
