Leng Yuchen saw An Qi's actions through the surveillance camera. Her charming and silly expressions almost triggered him to rush over to be reunited with her right then and there!
At the thought that someone in the Leng Group would cause her harm, Leng Yuchen got a cold look in his eyes. He then asked, "Sheng Jie, what's the status of the matter that I asked you to look into?"
Sheng Jie was stunned, and he scratched his head as he asked, "Boss Leng, these past few days I have been accompanying you out here to monitor Miss An Qi. I was also busy with the underground warehouse transformation. Where would I have found any spare time to investigate who is behind the assault on Miss An Qi?"
Leng Yuchen looked upset as he replied with his own question, "When did you learn how to use the excuse of having 'no time' in order to provoke me?"
Sheng Jie shook his head. "Boss, I wouldn't dare to give you a lame excuse. I really didn't have the time! You even sacrificed your sleeping hours to work overtime with me here, so you know I wasn't being lazy!"
Leng Yuchen bowed his head as he lit a cigarette. Sheng Jie did seem to be right. Since he had discovered An Qi's identity, he had been dealing with things that were related to her nonstop. The crux of the matter was that Leng Yuchen had not noticed how time had passed.
As long as he was doing something that was related to her, he would get so excited. It was as if he had been injected with a stimulant!
As for An Yufei, he wondered… When would be the best time for me to be reunited with her?
Sheng Jie seemed to know exactly what was on Leng Yuchen's mind. "Boss Leng, to be honest with you, I haven't seen you work so hard for a long time, except when the old chairman had just handed the company over to you."
"Oh yeah?" Leng Yuchen took a puff from his cigarette. He knew that Sheng Jie was right, but he still refused to admit it. However, his facial expression had already betrayed him.
Sheng Jie went on to say, "You do fret over An Qi… Always being afraid that she might catch a cold… Afraid that she might be robbed of her family property… You haven't closed your eyes for days..."
Sheng Jie took a glance at Leng Yuchen as he spoke. Leng Yuchen was still wearing a sunny smile on his face, which made Sheng Jie choke on his words when he was about to utter the second half of his sentence.
Initially, he had wanted to complain that An Qi should not be dating the first young master, as this was betraying the second young master's painstaking efforts. Unfortunately, when Sheng Jie's hint reached Leng Yuchen's ears, everything seemed to turn into honey. Clearly, Leng Yuchen's love for An Qi could not be tainted.
"Is Shi Zhiwen in place?" Leng Yuchen ignored Sheng Jie's earlier intentions as he asked warmly.
"Well, he is approaching An Qi as a temporary Hairui worker. When I was at the gate, I saw that they were having a conversation," Sheng Jie reported.
"Very good." It was rare for Leng Yuchen to praise Sheng Jie. It seemed that his efforts had paid off, as Leng Yuchen seemed really happy.
...
However, while the two men on the top floor were still happily chatting, An Qi and Shi Zhiwen, who were in the underground warehouse, were staring hard at each other.
"An Qi, please give me back my vest!" When Shi Zhiwen looked at An Qi's vest, which could be passed off as a dress on her, he was angry.
On the contrary, the one that he was currently wearing was clearly a lady's vest. He had no choice but to take it, as the security guard had told him that it was the last one. If he did not wear it, he would not be allowed in!
Only God knows how Shi Zhiwen stuffed himself into that vest. In fact, he looked like a walking dumpling!
An Qi struggled to hold back her laughter as she glanced at Shi Zhiwen's "unique style."
Seeing her taking pleasure in his predicament, Shi Zhiwen became angry. "What are you looking at? Give it back to me!"
Just when An Qi was about to pull down the zipper of her vest and reluctantly return it to him, she heard Shi Zhiwen's unkind tone. So, she pulled the zipper back up angrily as she thought… I'm not the one who is wrapped up and can't breathe!
"You!" Shi Zhiwen exclaimed as he watched An Qi's actions, his eyes wide.
At this time, Auntie Sun's voice could be heard from a distance, "Oh, it seems that no introduction is needed. You two clearly know each other already!"
"I don't know him!"
"I don't know her!"
Almost at the same time, the two of them said nearly the same thing with surprisingly identical facial expressions.
Auntie Sun approached them and asked in confusion, "You don't know each other, yet you can exchange vests? But, An Qi… Little Shi is a man after all, quite tall and muscular…"
Auntie Sun had placed her hand on Shi Zhiwen's chest, gently rubbing his vest, while secretly drooling over his well-built body. It was akin to her seeing a big piece of fresh meat!
After hearing Auntie Sun's detailed description, An Qi took a glance at Shi Zhiwen's body and had to secretly agree that he had a great physique. Looking at the tight vest, one could clearly see his abdominal muscles.
"An Qi, take off your vest and give it back to little Shi. Don't let the other aunties in this warehouse take advantage of our attractive guy!" Auntie Sun instructed An Qi.
"Oh..." An Qi pouted, then glared at Shi Zhiwen as reluctantly took off her vest and returned it to him.
Shi Zhiwen could not stand the small vest any longer, so he quickly took it off and threw it at An Qi.
"Look how fitting it is, little Shi. Today, your main task is to check and accept the samples that are handed to you by Hairui. An Qi will help you," Auntie Sun said.
"Okay, thank you." Shi Zhiwen did not let Auntie Sun succeed in taking advantage of him this time as he took a few steps back and displayed a trace of impatience in his eyes.
"Still dazed? Didn't you hear what the leader told us to do?" After Auntie Sun left, An Qi took a few steps forward, and when she saw that Shi Zhiwen was not moving, she urged him impatiently.
"Oh, good." To An Qi's surprise, Shi Zhiwen actually seemed to be in good spirits after changing into his own vest.
An Qi went to the Acceptance Center, secretly wondering what had gotten into him to make him so nice all of a sudden. However, what An Qi did not know was that Shi Zhiwen was simply distracted because he had felt a sense of hostility hovering over her head, but when An Qi had called out to him, the sense of hostility disappeared…
An Qi walked very quickly, causing beads of perspiration to stream down her forehead. She had intentionally worn several layers of cotton clothing today due to the weather. Little did she know that the underground warehouse would be as warm as spring!
In fact, not only An Qi, but all of the staff that was working in the underground warehouse felt the huge contrast in temperature!
