“You…you mustn’t be too cheap, or else…I’ll never give you gifts again, a hundred pairs of socks will be enough for me to eat as many instant noodles!”
Ning Xiaofei blushed red, covering her guilty conscience with arrogance and ridicule.
Someone like him had probably never received such a worthless gift before, right?
Reaching over one palm and holding her restless fingers, Mu Tianye raised her face and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, before his arm reached over and lightly embraced her shoulder.
"Thank you for the gift, I love it.”
He couldn"t remember how many gifts he had received, from all sorts of precious things, to worth a fortune…but none as precious as this one.
Because he knew that, for this gift, she had poured out everything.
“Focus on your work, I’ll go make you a cup of coffee.”
Mu Tianye got up and walked out of the master bedroom, not going straight downstairs, but turning around and walking into the study.
He pulled open a drawer and found a watch box. He tossed the watch inside and then carefully smoothed out the crumpled receipt and folded it neatly, and put it in the box along with the socks that still carried the discount label. The size of the box is just right, so the man is satisfied with raising his lips.
Opening a safe, he placed the box together with those important bills, locked the safe, and then went downstairs.
On the table, a famous watch was carelessly thrown in a corner of the desk.
Going to the kitchen to find the coffee beans she’d left behind, he poured it into the coffee maker to brew, then reached for some fruit and snacks Zhou Tao had bought from the supermarket before.
The snacks were put on a tray, the fruit washed were washed, peeled and cut into bite pieces…and were served upstairs, along with the brewed coffee. He placed them within her reach, before he reclined back to sit beside her, his gaze tilted to her screen.
“One word is missing here.”
“Are you a pig, and here we’re going to use ‘of’, not ‘ground’.”
“This poem is used incorrectly.”
……
Instantly, the venomous tongue mode turned on again.
Ning Xiaofei frowned in exasperation, “Can you be quiet, I…I haven’t proofread yet, this is just an outline up.”
The man closed his mouth and made no more sound, reached over the tray and forked a piece of watermelon to her mouth.
“Don’t mind me, go to sleep first.”
“Work.”
“I really don’t need you…….”
With a lift of his hand, he directly shoved a strawberry at her, gagging Ning Xiaofei’s mouth.
“Work!”
What a pain in the a.s.s, he’s not happy to accompany her to work, she wouldn"t be even bothered to keep him company if he wants her to!
Ning Xiaofei could only withdraw her gaze and continue working. Soon, she was fully absorbed in her work once more.
Mu Tianye just leaned back on the headboard and watched her side profile focused on her job.
Watching her frown from time to time, he frowned along.
Watching her raise her lips and crackle as she typed as if she had straighten out her thoughts, he secretly let out a sigh of relief…….
It wasn’t until after four in the morning that Ning Xiaofei finished her plan with a yawn. She raised her hand and stretched out a sore waist, and then muttered to herself.
“Check for typos and go to bed, print it tomorrow at the office.”
At the same moment, the man reached out his hand and sent the tray over. Ning Xiaofei subconsciously reached out and took it, then she turned her face in disbelief.
“Did I wake you up?”
Mu Tianye ignored her and just reached for the computer on her lap.
“What are you doing?”
“Check for you.”
With that, the man clicked the mouse over to the beginning of the doc.u.ment and then placed his hands up to the keyboard.
Ning Xiaofei wriggled closer uneasily, only to see the mouse move quickly on the screen. He tapped and beat from time to time, sometimes to correct a typo, sometimes to change a punctuation, even the wrong use of “land of the” was corrected one by one.
