The girl had barely finished speaking.
Wu Mei felt the pressure on her body dissipate.
Surprised, she looked at Xi Jiu. The man's gaze had shifted from her and settled on the small figure at the entrance.
"Why are you back so early?" he asked.
The members of the technical team shuddered with fear; could this gentle tone really belong to their ruthless boss?
"Ah," Ruan Qi took off her shoes, looking somewhat happy, "The commercial went really smoothly, so I came back a bit earlier. Brother Shen bought a lot of groceries; we'll have a treat tonight."
Xi Jiu's lips curved slightly, the word 'us' making him pleasantly content.
Miss Ruan set down her things and walked into the living room. After greeting everyone, she asked Mr. Xi, "How are you feeling today? Did you take your medicine at noon?"
"He did, he did!" Bai Yuchen quickly interjected, "I watched Brother Jiu take it myself. Miss Ruan, rest assured!"
Ruan Qi nodded in satisfaction.
