" Wait...did he say that I was beautiful today as well? " Zhi Ruo thought back confusedly, her old habit acting up again as she patted his head. " What the h.e.l.l does that mean?! , Zhi Ruo was really embarra.s.sed.
" This big boss really likes to flirt huh? Wait...the big boss never flirts... Could it be that...he likes me....?!?! " (๏д๏)
" Impossible... the big boss was even immune to the female lead"s charm, how could he fall for me?! " (ﾟヘﾟ)
As Zhi Ruo was having an internal monologue, Doctor Lu had arrived at the house.
" Where is she? " Doctor Lu asked.
" She is in her bedroom, please follow me. " Zhi Chao answered and led the doctor to his sister"s room.
Arrived there Zhi Chao warned the doctor to be quiet as Zhi Ruo probably didn"t wake up yet and she didn"t like to be disturbed.
The pair slowly walked in and approached the bed. As soon as they laid eyes on the bed, they were dumbfounded by the scene they saw.
Zhi Chao covered his mouth with his hand and Doctor Lu gasped.
Zhi Chao couldn"t count how many times he was shocked by his sister in these recent months.
In his entire old age working with the Zhi family, he has never seen Zhi Ruo with a man: this was a huge first!
" Ruoruo?! " Zhi Chao exclaimed as he saw his sister"s small head peek under w.a.n.g Yong"s big body.
" Brother! " Zhi Ruo smiled, " Hurry and help me! I almost can"t breathe! "
" What the h.e.l.l happened? "Zhi Chao gave a weird expression.
" He spent the whole night with me so he didn"t sleep well and he collapsed on my bed when he was leaving. " Zhi Ruo quietly explained, " Just hurry and help me roll him over to the other side of the bed! "
" Just call him up. " Zhi Chao said.
" No! Let him sleep, he is very tired. " Zhi Ruo pouted.
" I will help you little Ruoruo. " Doctor Lu proposed.
It took a few seconds to Zhi Ruo to search in her memory to remember who it was, " h.e.l.lo Doctor Lu! "
After a few seconds, they managed to roll w.a.n.g Yong"s muscled body on the other side. Zhi Ruo covered his body with a blanket and was finally able to move her body. After a long period of sleep, her entire body was completely refreshed.
" Sigh... " Zhi Ruo looked over to w.a.n.g Yong and secretly complained, " This big boss is always messing with my mind and body...such a troublemaker... "
...
After making sure that his sister was doing well, Zhi Chao left for work while Zhi Duyi and Hui Yin stayed to reprimand their daughter in the living room.
" Why did you not eat your meals and not rest properly? " Hui Yin frowned.
" I didn"t have time... " Zhi Ruo explained, trying to look innocent.
" Then make time! Health comes first, work can come after that! " Hui Yin refuted.
" It"s just that we have been really busy these days, we have a lot of new projects to work on. " Zhi Ruo rationally reasoned.
" You have workers for a reason, sweetie. " Zhi Duyi remarked.
" They were also very busy, most of them had to work overtime already. " Zhi Ruo countered.
" Hire more. " Zhi Duyi proposed.
" Even if we hire more, we need to train them we can"t just pitch them in the gigantic work machine. " Zhi Ruo debated back.
" I don"t believe that you don"t have to sleep or eat! You did well the two years before, even during the busy period, why did you forget now? " Hui Yin scolded.
" Cause I am not the real Zhi Ruo and I am scared of failing which can lead to you guys discovering that I am not her and not want me anymore... " Zhi Ruo sulked in her mind.
" I know I was wrong...I should have prioritized my health before..." Zhi Ruo didn"t have much more to argue back so she obediently recognized her fault.
" Sigh... from today on you will take a month"s worth of break, not allowed to work anymore! " Hui Yin declared boldly.
" A month?! That"s way too much! " Zhi Ruo immediately complained, " I still have a lot of work to catch up on, a business trip tomorrow and next week too. Taking a break now would be too unreasonable. "
" We just scolded you for working too much and now you are telling us that you want to work more? " Zhi Duyi scowled at his daughter.
" I have to be responsible, I can"t be lazy just because I am the CEO. It"s exactly because I am the CEO that I have to work hard. " Zhi Ruo stated.
Looking at their grown and mature daughter, Zhi Ruo"s parents felt very proud even though they were mad.
" As I can"t really stop working now, how about I take a week off after my trip to the US? "Zhi Ruo proposed.
" Hmm...two weeks off. " Hui Yin bargained.
" A week and a half. " Zhi Ruo replied.
" Three weeks. " Hui Yin looked at her with an authoritarian stare.
" Fine, two weeks it is. " Zhi Ruo resigned.
" Good, now go rest some more. Don"t make us worry anymore. " Hui Yin finally smiled and gave her daughter a hug.
" Hum...actually...can I work some more? I already slept enough and ate enough for three days. " Zhi Ruo tried to nicely convince them.
" No! " Hui Yin immediately objected.
Seeing that her mom already disagreed, Zhi Ruo smartly changed her target and showed her best puppy eyes to her dad, " Dad, please! Not for long, I learned my lesson now. "
Zhi Duyi couldn"t hold out for long against his darling daughter"s stare and conceded, " Fine... but when the maid tells you to eat, you have to. You also have to take breaks. "
" I will! Thank you, dad! " Zhi Ruo laughed and pecked his cheek before quickly running away.
Hui Yin exasperatedly looked at her husband and shook her head, " You spoil her too much... What is she going to become in the future if you keep spoiling her? You are too easily swayed!"
Zhi Duyi looked at his unhappy wife and instantly tried to repair the situation.
He hugged her from behind and boldly declared, " How could you say that? My heart is not easily swayed. That"s why only a strong and beautiful woman like you could steal it. "
Hearing this cringy yet sweet line, Hui Yin couldn"t help but smile and turn back to her husband, " Then don"t let it get swayed by your daughter then! "
She laughed before kissing him.
