C28 Estrangement

When the coffee was ready, Ann Qianxi's soul was summoned and she carefully poured the coffee into a cup.

"I thought about it. Since I have to work in Chi's now, I might as well get along with you a little." As Ann Qianxi placed the cup of coffee in front of Chi Shaojun, she restrained her temper and said softly.

Chi Shaojun looked at him in surprise. Just now, in the elevator, he told himself that as long as he remained in the company for one day, it would definitely cause a ruckus. Why did his temper change all of a sudden?

Sensing Chi Shaojun's probing gaze, Ann Qianxi tried to make herself look more innocent.

"Now that my contract is also in your hands, you won't be able to run away even if you want to. You might as well make it easier for yourself." Once again, she patiently explained.

"Do you know what a personal assistant does?" Chi Shaojun sat on the table with both elbows and stared straight at the woman in front of him with his pair of obsidian eyes.

"Other than that, I will try my best to do everything else." When she saw Chi Shaojun mention that kind of thing again, a trace of anger and bashfulness flashed across Ann Qianxi's face.

From Chi Shaojun's point of view, getting angry from embarrassment was also very tempting.

"Didn't you do pretty well this morning? Why are you so shy now?" He continued with a playful expression.

Although he didn't know why Ann Qianxi's attitude towards him had become so thorough, he still had to make use of this opportunity to make fun of her.

"You …" Ann Qianxi almost lost her temper, but thinking about what she had to do, she could only swallow her anger and say softly, "What happened this morning was an accident. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Seeing that she looked like a hedgehog that had its thorns removed, Chi Shaojun couldn't help but want to tease her a little more. However, after seeing her suppressed anger, he decided not to continue.

It wouldn't be fun if he pissed people off now.

"Go ahead and do your thing." He briefly instructed Ann Qianxi to put down the coffee before going back to her work.

Ann Qianxi was also surprised that Fang Xingjian did not continue to tease her. She had just managed to build up her mental state, so no matter how much Fang Xing tried to provoke her, she could not get angry.

Seeing that he had started to review the documents, he decided not to stay here any longer and returned back to his seat.

After sitting for a while, Ann Qianxi realized that Chi Shaojun didn't tell her what exactly he wanted to do.

Since he said he would let Chi Shaojun relax his guard, then he should show off his image in front of the other party and change his previous impression.

Ann Qianxi walked quietly to Chi Shaojun's side, passing him documents and ashtrays from time to time.

Chi Shaojun enjoyed this kind of caring service, so he spent the whole afternoon in comfort.

"Dong Dong Dong —" At this moment, Assistant Hee's voice came from outside the door.

"Enter." Chi Shaojun calmed down the agitation in his heart and let Assistant Hee in.

"Director Chi, here's the document you wanted before."

The first thing Assistant Hee saw when he came in was Ann Qianxi, who was sitting quietly at the side. Right now, the whole company was saying that Director Chi was obsessed with this woman, saying that she was a pampered person that made everyone in the company restless.

It didn't look like that now, at least he didn't see any signs of domineering behavior in Ann Qianxi.

Ann Qianxi took the initiative to take the documents and handed them over to Chi Shaojun.

Chi Shaojun tried to find some clues from her calm expression, but it was to no avail.

"Alright, take the documents and leave." After checking to make sure there was no problem, Chi Shaojun handed the document to Assistant Hee and told him to hurry out.

Assistant Hee's arrival was just an interlude, and Ann Qianxi was quiet and cooperative when Chi Shaojun took care of the work.

Suddenly, Chi Shaojun thought he had been getting along with Ann Qianxi for a long time.

He pretended to be looking through the documents, but in reality, he peeked at Ann Qianxi through various gaps. Chi Shaojun wished that time would never pass and wished that he could freeze at this moment.

"You are very different today." After thinking for a while, he still said this. At the beginning, he had suspected Ann Qianxi of having some ulterior motives, but now she had been quietly staying by his side the whole afternoon.

Based on how they hadn't known each other for long, she had already gone berserk.

"What's different? Weren't I always like this before?" Ann Qianxi said indifferently.

"It's gentler than before." Chi Shaojun suddenly laughed. This made Ann Qianxi a bit confused. Since the two of them met again, which time did Chi Shaojun not scowl at their confrontation?

Such a slight smile, like the east wind night flowers, thousand trees, more down, the stars like the rain.

Ann Qianxi's heart couldn't help but flutter. She didn't say anything else as she continued to organize her things in silence.

Chi Shaojun walked past her and looked out the window. Such a beautiful scene always made him think of the past, so he became absent-minded for a moment.

When he looked back, he saw that she was already sitting at her desk, quietly sipping her coffee.

It was the same way in the past. When she was tired, she would sit down and drink a cup of coffee, then leave it in a daze.

He quietly stood up and walked towards Ann Qianxi.

"We'll always be like this in the future, alright?" He put his arms around Ann Qianxi and quietly enjoyed the warmth of their reunion.

Ann Qianxi looked at Chi Shaojun who was hugging her arm and her heart was pounding violently. She also thought back to the time when they were in love.

Tears flowed down unwittingly, Chi Shaojun wiped them away from Ann Qianxi's face as he felt the wetness on his arm.

In a split-second, his heart seemed to soften. He didn't care about the other party's betrayal or his previous identity. He didn't care about any of this anymore. He only wanted to live a good life with Ann Qianxi from now on.

"Don't think about how to run anymore. Stay by my side, okay?" Chi Shaojun hugged the other person and asked gently.

At that moment, Ann Qianxi also thought that it was seven years ago. However, she clearly remembered the injuries she had suffered before. She was unable to answer Chi Shaojun's question.

Sensing the other party's silence, Chi Shaojun did not get angry. Instead, he hugged the other person tighter in a comforting manner.

"As long as you are obedient, I will always treat you well. Let's go back to our old days."

Finally, Ann Qianxi hesitated for a moment before nodding.

After Chi Shaojun received the answer, he happily buried his head into the other party's neck and deeply breathed in the fragrance of the woman that belonged to her.

Ann Qianxi raised her hand, and it landed on Chi Shaojun's back, patting him hesitantly.

While the two of them were having a warm time, Chi Shaojun's phone rang at an inappropriate time. He originally wanted to hang up directly, but after seeing the caller, he still picked it up.

"Prof. Zhang, did something happen?" Instead of letting go of Ann Qianxi, he started talking to her on the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone sputtered a bunch of stuff that Ann Qianxi didn't understand, but Chi Shaojun's expression became more and more serious. Finally, he told the other person that he would be there immediately.

Even if he couldn't bear to let go of this moment of harmony, Chi Shaojun had no choice but to let go. He still had urgent matters to deal with.

"Give me a kiss before I go." Chi Shaojun rarely acted like a spoiled child to Ann Qianxi. He even took the initiative to offer his lips to her.

Ann Qianxi's ears turned red. It was obvious that she hadn't experienced this kind of lifestyle for a couple for a long time.

Chi Shaojun walked out of the office satisfied after getting a kiss. What he didn't notice was that after he left, the shy Ann Qianxi's expression instantly changed.

"I won't forgive you and Chen Yao." She sneered.
