At three in the morning, Yan Xi was still busy in the study room. There were many things to do to help a declining company determine its new future development.
She had to race against time.
She did not know how long she had been writing for, but the sleepiness that she had been forcefully suppressing gradually surged up. The computer screen in front of her was getting more and more blurry. Yan Xi propped up her arm on the table and said to herself, “I’ll only sleep for a short time.”
With a thud, her head fell onto the table and drifted into a deep slumber.
At this moment, the study room door opened slowly and Gu Shen pushed a wheelchair in.
When he saw this, a complicated expression flashed across his eyes.
Even the most loyal employee would grumble if they stayed up all night to write a proposal. Why did Yan Xi work so hard? Was it because of that unmentioned wish?
…
At seven in the morning, Yan Xi woke up groggily. She shook her numb arm that was used as a pillow and slowly sat up, sensing that something had fallen to the ground.
Yan Xi looked down and picked up the blanket on the ground. She sniffed the familiar pine scent on it and knew who brought it here.
Knowing that Gu Shen had been here, she smiled in delight.
Yan Xi walked downstairs happily with the blanket over her shoulder.
Xiaolan looked at the sweat on her forehead and wondered if Madam was cold or hot. She pressed the remote control for the air conditioner in her hand and was suddenly at a loss as to what to do with it.
Yan Xi wiped her sweat casually and sat at the dining table, sending Gu Shen a message.
“Thank you for the blanket.”
Gu Shen was probably having a morning meeting at this point. A while later, she sent another message.
“It’s important to balance work and rest, don’t overwork.”
Then she added a few cute emoticons.
A few minutes passed and there was still no reply from Gu Shen. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
Yan Xi sighed and put down her phone.
Well, her husband was a busy man.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Yan Xi went to take a shower, then went to the study room to finish the proposal from yesterday. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she saved it and was ready to submit it to Gu Shen when he returned.
After settling this matter, she got herself another medical book and started reading it.
Although she was already aware of the neurological theories and cases written in this book, she read it on the off chance that she might learn something new.
“Madam, you’re really something. You actually understand such a complicated medical book.” Xiaoyue commented while wiping the book cabinet.
Yan Xi tilted her head to look at her and smiled. “Everyone has their own strengths. For example, your cooking skills are very impressive. At the very least, you’re not like some thieves who don’t even know how to cook dumplings.”
Xiaoyue was embarrassed by the teasing.
She lowered her head, her fingers almost rubbing against the corner of her shirt. “Madam, what I said to Xiaolan was indeed wrong. You are really good to Master.”
“I’m very happy to hear you say that. Xiaoyue, I’m also sincerely praising you. Your cooking skills are very good. If you don’t mind, I want to prepare dinner with you this evening.”
Looking into Yan Xi’s bright and clear eyes, Xiaoyue was flattered. She covered her chest and gasped.
“I don’t, I don’t mind at all!”
Oh no, she was starting to like Madam more and more.
In the afternoon, Yan Xi felt dizzy from reading. She picked up her phone and realized Gu Shen still did not reply to her.
Yan Xi puffed up her cheeks and was instantly angry. She threw the phone to the side.
Was he so busy with work that he didn’t even have time to take a look and reply?
While Yan Xi was sulking, Xiaoyue pushed the study room door open again. She said excitedly, “Madam, do you still want to prepare dinner with us?”
Yan Xi still remembered what she said. She rolled up her sleeves. “Coming right away! I’m not a good cook, you guys have to bear with me.”
Xiaoyue was unaware of Yan Xi’s sulkiness and smiled foolishly. “I know. My mission today is to teach Madam one dish that I am proud of!”
“Good girl.”
After busying herself in the kitchen for an hour, she heard footsteps outside the door.
As Gu Shen pushed the door open, his sense of smell was instantly overwhelmed by a nice fragrance of rice.
He looked up and saw Yan Xi busy setting the table. She then waved at him.
“Welcome back. The food is ready. Quickly wash your hands and eat! I made this dish especially for you today.”
Gu Shen couldn’t tell from her tone that she was sulky. He took off his coat casually, washed his hands, and went to the dining table.
When the fragrance of the food hit him and spread throughout the room, he suddenly thought of the word ‘Home’.
