Chapter 34: Subtle Intelligence

"Kidding, revolving around you and you're paying me wages?"

"Enough already, stop sleeping! Get up, you know I'm not obviously smart yet you still speak so vaguely, explain clearly to me! What exactly do you mean!" Xia Yuxun said nothing more as she pushed Ou Mingxuan up.

Ou Mingxuan looked at Xia Yuxun, amused and exasperated, "Not obviously smart? To even come up with that phrase, you're kind of a genius sometimes!"

"I yield!" Xia Yuxun said stylishly as she bowed respectfully.

Ou Mingxuan looked at her un-ladylike demeanor and helplessly massaged his forehead.

"I'm not asking you to quit, just take a week off, leave him hanging for a few days. Only when you're not around will he realize how important you are. You need to give him time to miss you, get it?" Ou Mingxuan said this, but thought to himself, with the way you are, you probably aren't that important at all, and when you go back and find that the man doesn't care whether you left or not, you might as well give up.

Xia Yuxun nodded again and again, "Makes sense, makes sense! This is also a good chance for me to take sick leave."

Thus, Ou Mingxuan's cunning plan succeeded just like that.

-

After another long day, Xia Yuxun was finally discharged from the hospital.

The leave of absence was surprisingly smooth.

So smooth it made her feel utterly and especially frustrated.

Ou Mingxuan parked the car under her company building and, seeing her unhappy face as she came out, knew the outcome already.

Knowing well the result, he still deliberately asked her, "How was it? Did your great boss show any reluctance to let you go? Did he show any concern for you?"

Xia Yuxun glared fiercely at him, "Drive your car!"

Actually, things went like this.

Xia Yuxun walked into the CEO's office.

"CEO, I would like to take a week off… because… um…"

"Hmm." Leng Sichen kept his head down reading documents, not lifting his head at all.

That was it.

Xia Yuxun thus took her leave and headed downstairs, her script prepared for a whole day suffocated back by a single word from Leng Sichen.

"Senior, how am I supposed to get through these seven days without work?" Xia Yuxun wailed.

Ou Mingxuan, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other propping up his chin, was in a fantastic mood.

"Perfect timing, I'm free these days, take me to learn your skills now!"

Xia Yuxun jumped up, "Damn! Ou Mingxuan! You planned this from the start, didn't you? You actually schemed against me?"

"Look at you talking, it was merely incidental, mainly for your sake, right?"

Xia Yuxun looked at him with doubt, the more she looked, the more he resembled a fox, an extremely cunning nine-tailed fox at that.

In comparison, Leng Sichen was like the king of the underworld, Lucifer.

And Leng Siche? Of course, he was the perfect prince charming in every girl's eyes.

Cough cough, seems like the images of these three have a bit too much of a time-space span? One from Eastern fantasy, another from Western fantasy, and another from a fairy tale.

Lost in her wild thoughts, Xia Yuxun was given a sidelong glance by Ou Mingxuan, his lips curving slightly, "This outfit... you're still wearing it, hmm, looks good! I truly have an eye for fashion!"

In that instant, electric—light—swift—as—lightning—

"Ou Mingxuan—" Xia Yuxun roared like a lit-up cosmos, grabbing hold of Ou Mingxuan's collar, "The clothes! The clothes! The clothes! Had you not mentioned it, I'd have almost forgotten to settle the score with you!"

A sharp screech of brakes sounded as Ou Mingxuan stopped the car perilously.

Xia Yuxun immediately leaned forward, pressing him, "Ou Mingxuan, you better give me an explanation today! Otherwise, I'll take justice into my own hands and execute you on the spot!"

No sooner had she finished the phrase "execute on the spot" than Xia Yuxun accidentally triggered the switch on the car seat, causing Ou Mingxuan's driver's seat to fall back with a "plop".

Unprepared, Xia Yuxun didn't stabilize herself and fell directly onto Ou Mingxuan.

"Heh, execute on the spot? Here? Yuxun, I never realized you had such wild tastes—into car play?" Ou Mingxuan wrapped an arm around the willingly thrown Xia Yuxun's waist and whispered mischievously in her ear.
