The heavier Ye Youyou’s breathing became, the harder she found it to control the mounting pain in her heart. In the deepest recesses of her heart, the ache intensified and thickened to the extent that it was unbearable.

Li Jinnan didn’t make a sound. He just stood behind her and kept his eyes on her.

Ye Youyou whimpered silently. She did not wail out loud, but her silent tears were more heart wrenching than any loud wail could be. With the chopsticks gripped in her hands, she shoved food into her mouth every now and then. Even after a long while, she hadn’t eaten much.

Li Jinnan raised his hand and rested it gently on her shoulder. With his other hand, he removed her bowl and took the chopsticks from her hand. He handed her two pieces of tissue.

Ye Youyou stared at the tissue in front of her blankly before using it to blow and wipe her nose. It took a moment for her to regain her composure. After letting a long breath out, she said casually, “GM Li, it’s getting late. I think you should go back. It won’t be good if neighbors see you here alone with me.”

Her words were casual and light-hearted, but the nasal sound in her voice clearly revealed her feelings and emotional state at that moment.

Li Jinnan pressed his lips into a thin line and watched as she sat with her back ramrod-straight and hugging her own arms tightly. He came to a decision and pulled her up, saying, “Come on.”

Ye Youyou was stunned. She turned her head to look at the man behind her.

Li Jinnan’s eyes were dark, but as he looked at her, they shined brightly like a moon in the night sky. Looking into his eyes was like looking at the reflection of a bottomless river.

“Let’s go for a walk.” His tone was gentle and soothing, but it permitted no discussion. “Let me take you somewhere fun.”

“I don’t want to go.” Ye Youyou remained seated in her place and looked at him. Her eyes were red and wet.

Li Jinnan’s expression deepened. He asked, “Do you know you played hooky from work today?”

“I did not,” she replied. “I applied for leave!”

“But, your supervisor didn’t approve it. So that makes it truancy. Now, as the boss of the company, I have the authority to demand you work overtime.” Li Jinnan was firm in his tone and enunciated every word clearly. “Come on, just treat it as work. Let’s go out to relax a little.”

Ye Youyou felt her temper get the better of her and retorted, “You’re behaving like a thug! What kind of boss would do this?”

“The one in front of you is doing it,” Li Jinnan replied as the corners of his mouth turned up. “If it weren’t for the fact that the employee was being disobedient, I wouldn’t have to resort to this either. Come on, Miss Ye, let’s go.”

“Where... Where are we going?” Ye Youyou was a little hesitant. “It’s so late, and I’m tired. Why don’t you just go on your own?”

“No, let’s go together.” As he spoke, he looked at Ye Youyou’s dressing from head to toe and said, “Change into something that is appropriate to be seen outside.”

He looked at his watch. “I’ll give you five minutes. Otherwise, I’ll report it to HR and have them cut your salary this month by half.”

This man is indeed despicable !

Ye Youyou clenched her teeth and returned to her room. She changed into a casual skirt and a conservative top. She gave off a very mature and elegant aura.

Li Jinnan nodded his head. “You possess social awareness. That’s commendable. Let’s go.”

He walked over to the door and opened it before turning to Ye Youyou. She tried to hide her feet as she walked over. She had changed into a pair of high-heeled shoes. She suddenly realized that she wasn’t feeling as forlorn as she had been before.

When she heard the door close behind her, Ye Youyou stayed rooted to the spot. She felt rather baffled by the realization.
