Si Yanyang smiled warmly

Si Yanyang smiled warmly and said, "I noticed that you've been busy ever since you moved here. I don't think you even have time to drink water, so I took the liberty of pouring you a glass."

Upon hearing Si Yan's teasing remark, Qian You chuckled lightly and said, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? Don't forget, you were my first friend here. How could I stand by and watch my friend stressed out without offering any help? So, tell me, what can I do to assist you?"

Qian You quickly shook her head and said, "No need, I'm almost done tidying up."

Si Yan raised his chin and gestured with his eyes towards a box, asking, "Then what is in this box?" He was referring to the various business-related books that Qian You had brought from downstairs, including translations in German, French, English, and others. Each book was about ten centimeters thick.

"Uh..."

Seeing Qian You desperately trying to come up with an excuse to avoid his help, Si Yan couldn't help but laugh. He put his suit aside and rolled up his shirt sleeves, saying, "Stop 'uh-ing'. Helping a friend with something like this is nothing at all. Besides, I've just finished my work, so you better quickly tell me where to put these things. Let's hurry up and clean up; it's almost time for dinner."

With Si Yan's assistance, the entire box of books was soon placed in the designated spot that Qian You had prepared for them.

Si Yan put his suit back on, then glanced at his watch and suggested, "It's lunch break now, let's go eat."

Shallow You nodded and agreed, "Okay, what do you want to eat? It's on me." She wanted to take this opportunity to thank Si Yan for helping her.

Si Yan smiled and said, "Oh? Then I have to think it over. I've never had a meal paid for by a woman before, even though I've grown up this long."

Shallow You couldn't help but laugh, feeling comfortable as always when she was with Si Yan.

She jokingly replied, "Well, that's a pity. It seems like you weren't fated to live off a woman."

Seeing Shallow You's smile, Si Yan's eyes flickered. But in the next moment, his gaze shifted to behind her and he said, "Mo, are you done with your work too?"

Shallow You's smile froze, and the relaxed atmosphere from earlier disappeared instantly.

Pei Yimo glanced at Shallow You and walked over while answering, "Yes, I just finished reviewing the reports for the first half of the year."

Si Yan nodded and said, "Don't overwork yourself too much. You're not a robot. By the way, Shallow You and I are going out for a meal. Do you want to come? Shallow You is treating us today."

"Oh?" Pei Yimo raised an eyebrow and looked at the silent woman beside him. As expected, she maintained her damn distance from him as always.

A trace of wickedness flashed through his dark eyes as Pei Yimo casually lifted his lips and said, "Of course, I'll go. It's my secretary's first day on the job, so let's celebrate."
