Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Don’t Want Me to Go Back?
The faint scent of men’s cologne from Feng Huaijin drifted into her nostrils, lingering in the air, and a blush uncontrollably crept up her face.
Feng Huaijin was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly let out a low chuckle from deep in his throat, "Oh, are you afraid I’ll go bankrupt and return to An City? Don’t want me to go back?"
Su Li felt a rush of anger in her heart, always feeling like he was teasing her. And to think she helped him!
Su Li abruptly turned around, leaning her back against the conference room door, glaring at him with wide eyes.
Just a moment ago, she was all primed to retort with a "That has nothing to do with me" but upon meeting those deep eyes, like a starry sea, Su Li felt intimidated and couldn’t say it.
She finally squeezed out a sentence, "...I’m hungry."
Please treat me to a meal.
Su Li thought for a moment and added, "Let’s just eat from your company’s cafeteria, no need to go outside."
There was so much work at his company, especially after the data leak incident; it’s better not to let him waste time by taking her out for a meal.
Feng Huaijin chuckled softly, "Alright." She really did consider him; if it were some other woman, they would be wanting some grand gesture in return.
Su Li’s ears turned slightly red, and she awkwardly raised her hand to open the door and leave.
As they walked out, the secretary obediently handed an iPad to Su Li, "Miss Su, these are today’s menu items, and your selections will be delivered directly to the CEO’s office."
The restaurant on Ao Shi Group’s fifth floor was run by a hired chef, catering specifically to employees.
Su Li secretly rejoiced that she hadn’t asked Feng Huaijin to accompany her to an outside restaurant; the company restaurant had all sorts of delicacies! Plus, to cater to employees from all over the country, chefs prepared dishes from different cuisines.
Su Li was amazed, curling up barefoot on the leather sofa with the iPad to order, finding each dish appetizing.
"Huaijin, what do you feel like eating today? I’ll help you order," Su Li asked excitedly.
Feng Huaijin glanced back at her, seeing her barefoot, with legs folded on the couch, revealing socks printed with little pink flowers. His brow furrowed involuntarily.
He got up and walked over to her, simultaneously removing his suit jacket.
Su Li’s eyes sparkled as she remarked without looking up, "Shall I order you a hair-loss prevention soup? Fortify yourself."
No sooner had she said it than warmth enveloped her feet.
She stared blankly at the suit jacket draped over her feet, the residual warmth from it spreading an unusual warmth.
"You decide, I’m easy," Feng Huaijin tossed out the words and returned to his position behind the desk.
Su Li turned her head to look at him, seeing him in a thin white shirt, meticulously staring at the computer screen and typing a few words occasionally.
Hugging the iPad, Su Li suppressed her wildly pounding heart and quietly asked, "Aren’t you... aren’t you cold?"
Feng Huaijin looked up, a hint of disdain in his eyes, "Are you stupid? The CEO’s office has air conditioning!"
Su Li’s eyes shimmered with a spring breeze-like smile, replying, "Yes, the CEO’s office does have air conditioning." Who’s the foolish one?
Feng Huaijin looked at the suit jacket covering her feet and was momentarily speechless.
Feeling a slight heat in his ears, Feng Huaijin gripped the pen tightly and asked instead, "Are you hungry or not?"
Su Li responded with several "Oh"s and quickly used the iPad to order some of her favorite dishes.
Soon, an employee from the fifth-floor restaurant brought up lunch, and upon entering the CEO’s office, nearly collapsed in shock.
W-what’s going on?
Whose little girl is using Mr. Feng’s suit jacket to cover her feet???
