“Navigator? Navigator?”
Lin Jiayi’s voice suddenly sounded from behind him, causing Xia Shangzhou to abruptly put away his thoughts.
“Little Navigator? Little Xia Shangzhou?”
Little... he was only two years younger than her. Why did she have to bring a small word with her every time?
Xia Shangzhou cursed in his heart as he subconsciously turned around. However, before he could do anything, he heard Lin Jiayi’s footsteps behind him.
Seeing the bag in front of him, Xia Shangzhou hurriedly placed it back into the box and hurriedly stuffed it back into the bag.
No matter how quick his reaction was, Lin Jiayi still managed to catch a glimpse of the sign on the box. “Eh? Chanel’s Box? Is it a bag or shoes?”
Perhaps it was due to his guilty conscience, Xia Shangzhou instinctively lied, “Shoes.”
“Oh... that box doesn’t look too big. It should be women’s shoes...”as she spoke, Lin Jiayi looked as though she had just discovered a story, turning to Xia Shangzhou, she asked,”... who did you give it to? You have a girlfriend? Why didn’t you tell me so that I could give you a raise? After all, dating is a very expensive affair...”
Even though he knew that it was impossible for them to be together, he still didn’t want her to misunderstand him... Xia Shangzhou reflexively rejected the offer, “No, I don’t have a girlfriend...”
After saying those words, he realized that his reaction had been too sudden, so he hurriedly added,”... Yes, yes... It’s for my younger sister... She wants it...”
“Oh...”Lin Jiayi didn’t doubt his words.
On the way out of the office with Xia Shangzhou one after another, lin Jiayi asked, “Is your sister going to have a second child? I met her once when you drove my car to Beijing to play with her. She told me that she just had a second child. Now that I think about it, it should be about time, right?”
“Un... she gave birth last Friday...”
“That’s perfect. When you send that pair of shoes to your sister, let me know that I’ve prepared a gift for her. You can send it back together...”
“Isn’t that a little inappropriate? CEO Lin...”
“What’s so inappropriate about it? It’s fine as long as I say it’s appropriate...”as Lin Jiayi spoke, she raised her chin at the parked car in front of her and gestured for Xia Shangzhou to stop nagging and open the car door quickly.
While they were having dinner, Lin Jiayi received another call from Qin Ting. From the content of their conversation, Xia Shangzhou could tell that Qin Ting was thinking about finding a job in Beijing for Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi didn’t chat with Qin Ting for long before hanging up.
Xia Shangzhou poured a bowl of soup for Lin Jiayi. As Lin Jiayi slowly sipped on it, he asked, “Mr. Qin is coming to Beijing?”
“UN. He came straight here after returning from America... I felt bad that he gave up his previous job and came to Beijing. I did mention that I wanted him to join the LIN Group, but he rejected me and said that he wanted to develop on his own. After some thought, I think that every man wants to preserve his dignity, so let him be...”
“It seems like I’ll have to congratulate you in advance then. CEO Lin, good things are about to happen.”
Lin Jiayi’s lips curled up into a smile. She didn’t thank Xia Shangzhou for his blessings, but instead, she raised her hand and propped her chin up as she stared at Xia Shangzhou for a moment, then, she said, “Little Navigator, don’t talk about me all the time. Talk about yourself. Look, your sister is already a second child, and you haven’t even been in a relationship before... this won’t do... The Girl I mentioned to you last time asked me to go horseback riding the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that you’ll go with me...”
