72: Chapter 72 So they're already building their love nest at the company?

After a while, Qin Xun turned around. With a hint of sympathy in his eyes, he said,

"Why go to such lengths?"

"Preparing a bunch of lethal weapons, just waiting for someone to assault you so you can fight back?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just prevent it at the source and not share an apartment with anyone?"

Xia Ning was stunned!

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

She couldn't very well tell him that she was the one who trashed his apartment and set a trap to make him move in, right!

Seeing the firm look in Qin Xun's eyes, Xia Ning averted her gaze, looking elsewhere, and said in a small voice,

"Living alone is a bit lonely."

"I just... wanted someone to keep me company."

Qin Xun paused, looking down at Xia Ning's lower abdomen.

He sighed.

No wonder Xia Ning was always acting so strange; she was probably pregnant, got dumped by her boyfriend, and suffered some kind of psychological trauma.

On one hand, she wanted company.

On the other, she was afraid of being hurt by men.

How pitiful!

After a while.

Qin Xun saw Xia Ning look up at him and extend her right hand.

"Money, give it back to me!"

Qin Xun: "???"

He had been playing the role of a supportive big brother and psychological counselor for so long.

After going around in such a big circle, were they back to this?

Qin Xun was a bit dissatisfied.

"I saw you spent quite a lot of money buying those weapons; you don't look like someone short on cash. Can't you just lend it to me for a few days?"

"When I get paid, I will definitely pay you back, with interest."

But Xia Ning hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and reached out to touch her stomach.

"I've been... feeling unwell in my stomach these past few days. I need to see a doctor."

Ever since she took a sip of the tea water Qin Xun had spat out, her stomach had been feeling off, which was very distressing for her.

Now, it served as a perfect excuse to ask for the money.

Qin Xun: "..."

He felt helpless and transferred the money back.

If something were to happen to the baby in Xia Ning's belly, and he was blamed because he hadn't returned those two thousand yuan,

wouldn't he become a murderer?

Xia Ning received the transfer and was a bit surprised.

Why was he so forthcoming?

Seeing that Qin Xun didn't look very happy and was sitting gloomily on the sofa, studying the compound bow on the coffee table,

Xia Ning felt a bit embarrassed. She went to the fridge, grabbed two bottles of tea drinks, and handed one to Qin Xun.

She twisted open her own bottle, about to take a drink.

But she heard Qin Xun shout to stop her.

"Don't drink that!"

Xia Ning looked down at Qin Xun, puzzled.

Qin Xun lowered his head and continued fiddling with the bow and arrow.

"It's icy."

"Watch out for your... stomach."

Xia Ning smiled gently.

This guy seemed to have changed?

He had learned to care about people?

That's not bad!

...

The next day.

Qin Xun walked into the company right on time, and the colleagues he met all greeted him with smiles.

"Good morning, President Qin!"

"Good morning, President Qin!"

"Good morning, President Qin!"

Qin Xun nodded continuously, responding with a smile.

"Good morning!"

When he reached his workstation, Qin Xun had just sat down when he heard a clear, cold voice, carrying a hint of mockery.

"Good morning, President Qin!"

Qin Xun turned his head and saw Xia Ning's stunningly beautiful face, currently wearing a trace of a smile.

He smiled back.

"Good morning, Xia Ning!"

After exchanging greetings, he turned his head back and lowered it, thinking about how to advance toward his 100,000 slacking-off value.

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun's profile and gradually frowned.

He just called me "Xia Ning," not "Little Xia"?

Was it because those anti-wolf sprays, fruit knives, and the compound bow from yesterday scared him?

Had he become so polite?

While Qin Xun was looking down, pondering how to slack off in style, he suddenly saw a bottle of fresh milk and a sandwich placed on his desk.

He looked up at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning was smiling.

"I noticed you often don't eat breakfast, so I brought this for you."

Looking at Xia Ning's smile, Qin Xun suddenly felt it was so unfamiliar; she didn't look like the usual cold, distant person, but actually seemed a bit gentle.

"Thank you."

He said softly, unwrapped the sandwich, took a bite, and immediately sensed something was wrong.

He picked the packaging out of the trash can, looked at the date sticker on it, and sure enough, there were signs of it being tampered with.

"Little Xia, don't eat sandwiches from this place anymore in the future."

"The owner of this convenience store has a black heart; this is a sandwich that should have been discarded yesterday."

"It's expired!"

After saying this, he started eating it in big bites.

Seeing this, Xia Ning felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to take the sandwich back, but she saw Qin Xun eating it in large mouthfuls.

"You told me not to eat it, yet you're eating it so happily yourself?"

Qin Xun didn't even lift his head.

"Can you compare yourself to me?"

"You're... weak right now."

Xia Ning smiled gently.

It seemed he really had learned to care for people?

Could it be that he... No way, right?

...

Suddenly.

Cheng Wan walked over, glanced at Qin Xun eating breakfast, pretended not to see it, and placed a contract on his desk.

"President Qin, this is your 10% equity contract. Please take a look."

"If there are no issues, President Niu will sign it with you in a few days."

Qin Xun paused.

Was it this urgent?

"Thank you, Sister Wan, I'll look at it in a bit."

Cheng Wan was about to leave.

Xia Ning suddenly stood up.

"Sister... Cheng, um... I have something to tell you."

Cheng Wan turned her head and saw that the cold female president actually had a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Feeling puzzled, she snuck a glance at Qin Xun.

"Little... Xia, what is it?"

Xia Ning looked down at Qin Xun, who was eating the sandwich, and said,

"It's been a bit busy lately, there's a lot of business, and with President Qin working here, there are many people watching him."

"He has thin skin and is easily shy, which affects his mental agility."

"It greatly impacts work efficiency."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Xun looked up abruptly.

I have thin skin?

You can say things like that, so aren't you the one with thick skin?

A soft sound of chairs moving echoed around them.

With Qin Xun as the center, everyone within a five-meter radius turned their heads to look.

One face of shock, two faces of shock, three faces of shock!

Was this young lady speaking human language?

In all these days, had Qin Xun sat at this workstation for more than 30 minutes?

Didn't he just punch in and then run off for fieldwork?

Who watched him work?

Where would we even watch from!

Watch my foot!

Cheng Wan noticed the expressions of the people around, finding it somewhat funny, but she didn't dare to show it.

Having spent some time with Qin Xun, President Xia had also learned to joke around!

With a gentle smile on her face, she asked,

"Then what is it that you want...?"

Xia Ning looked at Cheng Wan and said seriously,

"Sister Cheng, the construction team won't come to build President Qin's office until the weekend."

"For these few days, can President Qin temporarily use the General Manager's office?"

"After all, in a few days, a typhoon is going to hit Haicheng, so it's no longer suitable for fieldwork!"

As soon as this was said, Cheng Wan's smile froze!

Business Department Manager: "..."

Execution Department Manager: "..."

Finance Department Manager: "..."

Coordination Department Manager: "..."

Everyone had a look of complete speechlessness on their faces.

If he can't go on fieldwork, would it kill him to stay at his workstation for a few days?

Anyway, no one dared to say anything to him.

Is this the legendary "when one person attains the Tao, their pets ascend to heaven"?

Even Qin Xun's little assistant dared to eye the General Manager's office?

Talk about gutsy!

Cheng Wan secretly glanced at Qin Xun and saw that he was also looking bewildered.

Realizing this was a surprise Xia Ning had prepared for Qin Xun, she couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration.

This guy really had a way with women!

To be able to make President Xia go to such lengths.

Cheng Wan said, pretending to be formal,

"I'll go apply to President Niu."

...

Five minutes later.

Cheng Wan walked out of the office and went up to Qin Xun.

"President Niu, she agreed!"

Qin Xun: "???"

He looked incredulous.

Fatty Niu was this generous?

Then should I beat her up less in the future?

Suddenly.

He noticed that everyone in the office was looking at him, their eyes filled with shock, admiration, and also... what the f*ck.

Qin Xun turned his head to look at Xia Ning, who had a faint smile on her face, and sighed.

What a sin!

Could it be that I'm going to... become a father unexpectedly?

...

Everyone in the office went silent!

They were completely speechless at this whole operation!

Sure enough, for someone who is good-looking and has super strong capabilities, everyone will make way for him.

Ahem... the capabilities here refer to work capabilities!

How could a young lady like Xia Ning dare to fight President Niu for a man?

...

Half an hour later.

Cheng Wan watched Xia Ning, who was carrying a large cardboard box and walking toward the General Manager's office, and sighed.

Sigh... a female hero finds it hard to pass the "tough guy" trial.

They are already setting up a private space for two at the company?

This is too much!

Don't make any noise!
