Bai Xi looked at his dangerous eyes, her heartbeat was racing, and she asked cautiously: "Did you sleep on the sofa yesterday?"
"No." Ji Chenling stood up and put one hand in his suit pocket, "I stayed in the next room last night. I'll go have breakfast first. I'll wait for you at the door."
He said, turned around and walked towards the door.
Bai Xi felt that Ji Chenling was a little unusual, but he couldn't tell what was unusual.
My heart was in a state of ups and downs, inexplicably panicked.
She brushed her teeth, took a shower, combed her hair briefly, pulled out her wrinkled clothes, and went out.
Ji Chenling was leaning against the wall, squinting at her, and said in a strange tone: "It's very fast. You don't need to dress up carefully when you see me?"
"Huh?" Bai Xi's mind went blank for a moment, and he explained: "I'm worried that you've been waiting at the door for a long time, and I'm sorry to waste time."
"Really?" Ji Chenling walked towards the elevator.
Bai Xi followed him into the elevator, "I fell asleep in your car yesterday. I'm sorry?"
"What do you think will happen if your husband finds out that you fell asleep in another man's car?" Ji Chenling locked her and asked tentatively.
Bai Xi's heart trembled. He always felt that what Ji Chenling said was too ambiguous and made people panic. "He should be able to understand. He just fell asleep and didn't do anything else."
"What else do you want to do?" Ji Chenling asked, raising the corners of his mouth, "You sound like you are disappointed."
"I didn't." Bai Xi explained, looking away, feeling embarrassed, and took a breath to adjust his breathing.
When the elevator opened, Ji Chenling walked out first, as if he didn't care about her, reported her room number, and entered the cafeteria.
He directly took the plate, sandwiched a poached egg, some pasta, and a glass of milk. He sat on the table and ate elegantly, with an aura that said no strangers should enter.
Bai Xi held the plate, hesitated for a moment, sat opposite him, and ate sullenly.
Ji Chenling looked at her faintly, as if there was a vortex in his dark eyes, intent on sucking her in.
Bai Xi lowered her head and noticed his gaze, looking at him in confusion.
He drooped his eyes and said calmly: "Why are you looking at me?"
Bai Xi: "..."
If he doesn't look at her, how can he know that she is looking at him?
She remembered that he was fine yesterday, but why did he seem to be a different person after one night?
She recalled whether she had offended him last night. Apart from falling asleep in his car, she didn't seem to have done anything.
"Ji Chenling," Bai Xi shouted, "I want to know how my grandma is doing? Can you help me ask?"
Ji Chenling's eyes were filled with helplessness, "I called you this morning to find out whether your grandma's condition has improved."
Bai Xi felt much more at ease, "After I finished breakfast, I wanted to go see her."
Her tone was pleading, and there was a bit of flattery in her tone.
Ji Chenling's yin and yang aura dissipated a lot, "I understand, I will make arrangements for you. Have a good breakfast first."
"Yeah." She lowered her head to eat breakfast when her cell phone rang, and it seemed to be Lu Zeyi's.
Invisible pressure struck again.
Originally, she was planning to resign because she didn't know how to face Ji Chenling. Now, it seems that she and Ji Chenling have nothing to do with each other. Moreover, the intensive care unit normally costs 10,000 yuan a day. She has to make money and need this job.
Answered the call.
"Bai Xi, I heard that Ji Chenling didn't return to the hotel last night. Where are you now?" Lu Zeyi asked worriedly.
"I'm in City A. My grandma is sick. She's in the hospital now."
"Ji Chenling is here too?" Lu Zeyi interrupted Bai Xi in surprise.
Bai Xi heard the shock in his tone and knew that he had misunderstood. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he did not answer directly: "Manager Lu, I would like to take a week off to spend time with my grandma."
"There are important events in the hotel today. You must come back. You can start asking for leave tomorrow. I have approved it." Lu Zeyi said in a deep voice.
This hotel banquet was prepared for Ji Chenling. He suspected that if Bai Xi didn't come back, Ji Chenling wouldn't come either.
"Then... can I advance this year's bonus?" Bai Xi said angrily.
"Okay, you can come find me when you come back today." Lu Zeyi said nicely.
"Thank you, Manager Lu." Bai Xi calculated that she could get more than 120,000 yuan in bonuses this year, which should be enough for grandma's medical treatment.
After breakfast, they went to see grandma.
Grandma woke up and was being examined by the doctor. When she saw Bai Xi, she could still wave.
A doctor came out of the intensive care unit, nodded to Ji Chenling, and reported: "Ms. Qin is recovering well. If nothing happens, she will be discharged from the hospital normally in a week."
Bai Xi was happy now and hugged Ji Chenling excitedly.
It was so close that he could clearly feel the softness of her body, his heartbeat skipped two beats, and his breathing became tight.
Bai Xi also realized that she seemed to be extremely happy. She awkwardly let go of Ji Chenling and bowed respectfully at ninety degrees, "Thank you, Mr. Ji."
Ji Chenling frowned, "Thank me and you still call me Mr. Ji?"
She called him Mr. Ji out of gratitude and respect to him, and bowed again.
Ji Chenling: "..."
On the way back, Ji Chenling played a light song "inlovealong", tapped the steering wheel rhythmically with his fingers, and looked at Bai Xi from time to time.
"You and your husband don't have a good relationship?" Ji Chenling asked thoughtfully.
"Huh? Well, he is very busy at work." Bai Xi explained ambiguously.
"So busy that your grandma hasn't seen him in five years?" Ji Chenling wanted to ask this question yesterday. Seeing that she was too sad yesterday, she suppressed the question.
Bai Xi didn't want to answer this question, so he flipped his hair and said with a dry smile: "We are secretly married. Not many people know about it. Ji Chenling, I'm a little sleepy. Let's get some sleep first."
She said, turned sideways, faced the window, and closed her eyes.
It was obvious that she didn't want him to ask further questions.
Ji Chenling looked straight ahead, with a hidden turmoil in his eyes, as if something was shining.
If they had a good relationship, how could that man let her suffer and not even care about her medical expenses?
After returning to the hotel, Bai Xi went to Lu Zeyi first.
"Did you come back with Mr. Ji?" Lu Zeyi asked.
The answer to the question determines whether he will approve the advance payment.
"He happened to have something to do and also went to City A." Bai Xi explained.
Lu Zeyi understood, smiled slightly, and approved the advance payment form, "Go to the finance department and get the money."
"Thank you, Manager Lu." Bai Xi went out happily.
The pager rang.
She answered.
"Come to my room." Ji Chenling said in a deep voice, then hung up.
Bai Xi walked over in confusion and knocked on the door. The door was opened by Ji Chenling.
He took her hand and pulled her in, the wall between him and her.
Before Bai Xi could recover, he kissed her lips, and his fingers eagerly unbuttoned her clothes...
