The doorbell suddenly rang, and Xia Yuxun's heart skipped a beat, as being discovered in such a place would indeed be quite troublesome.
Ou Mingxuan calmly walked over to open the door, took the things from the waiter, and then came back in.
"Clothes—" As soon as Xia Yuxun saw the women's tracksuit in Ou Mingxuan's hands, she immediately lunged for it.
The belt of her pajamas was half-unfastened, limp with the realization that there were still other people in the room, so she stopped her movements.
Ou Mingxuan leisurely propped his chin and watched her, "Why stop now?"
Xia Yuxun's face turned red, "Senior, can you please be nice to the very end? If I have to, I'll be your ox or horse in the next life..."
"Alright, look at that pitiful little face of yours!" Ou Mingxuan uncharacteristically turned his body around.
Xia Yuxun mentally finished the sentence: Senior, I'll definitely be your ox or horse in the next life, and I'll pick grass for you to eat!

When Xia Yuxun dashed to the company, she was already a full three hours late.
Today, the atmosphere in the company seemed a bit off—everyone looked as if they were on high alert, with tense expressions on their faces.
From afar, she could hear the sound of things shattering from the president's office at the end of the corridor, followed by the normally prideful marketing director emerging with a disheveled appearance and wobbly legs.
"Xiaoxia! Xiaoxia, you're finally here! Come over here quickly!" Assistant Annie called her over in an excited hushed voice.
Xia Yuxun hurried over to inquire, "Annie, what happened? Director Wang, he..."
Annie glared at her, "Are you still in the mood to worry about others? Your own life's almost not worth a dime!"
"Uh, really... I know I'm late, but I remember the BOSS didn't have any plans to go out this morning..." Xia Yuxun nervously pushed up the pair of black-framed glasses that almost covered half of her small face on the bridge of her nose.
Her job title was 'bodyguard,' but in reality, she was more of an attendant; other than accompanying on trips, there wasn't much for her to do. Being late would at most result in a salary deduction, so why would her life be in danger?
Annie responded exasperatedly, "Are you blind? All this way and you haven't noticed? The big BOSS is in a particularly bad mood today, so volatile he could spontaneously combust. And you, you have the audacity to show up just before quitting time. Isn't this like charging into the line of fire? Don't say I didn't warn you, Mr. Leng has been looking for you several times this morning, and it looks like this time you're in big trouble..."
Before she could finish, the intercom phone on the desk rang. Annie lunged for it, not daring to delay even a second as she answered, "Yes... yes... she's already here, okay!"
Annie hung up the phone and looked at her with a face full of sympathy, as though she were looking at a dead person, "Mr. Leng is asking for you."
Xia Yuxun felt a chill down her spine from Annie's look, "The boss shouldn't fuss over such a small matter with me, right?"
"Strong limbs, simple mind, only the ignorant are fearless!" Qin Fei, from his seat on the other side, swiveled his chair to face Xia Yuxun and sighed with a look of mourning.
"You're the ignorant one!" Xia Yuxun, with a forceful push, spun Qin Fei around in his chair several times, then confidently strode towards the president's office.
Spun dizzy, Qin Fei nearly threw up, "Savage woman! I wish you a trip with no return!"
Xia Yuxun took a deep breath, timidly walked over, and shakily knocked on the door twice.
Just as she took a step forward, before she even realized what was happening, her arm was tightly grasped, and then her body was suddenly dragged in, her back slamming hard against the door panel.
Last, accompanied by a "click" sound, the office door was locked, and a threatening aura enveloped her.
