Psst! We're moving!
“...”
The two looked at each other for a moment. Bo Ying felt his burning gaze and instinctively licked her lips, “Can’t you be a little more serious?”
She whispered, “There’s an assistant outside.”
Hearing that, He Jingxiu asked, “You didn’t lock the door?”
Bo Ying choked a bit, glared at him, and made to get off him.
He Jingxiu smiled, pulling her back into his arms. He lowered his head, kissed the corner of her lips, and said with a chuckle, “Alright, we’ll try it next time.”
Bo Ying’s earlobes were slightly red, and her lips parted. Seeing He Jingxiu let her off so easily, she thought for a while and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Suddenly, He Jingxiu noticed her hesitant expression and changed his mind, lowering his head to rub her nose and ask, “What did you want to say?”
“Nothing,” Bo Ying said, feeling guilty, her voice unconsciously rising a lot.
He Jingxiu paused slightly, as if understanding something.
He chuckled softly, pulling her closer, drawing energy from her, and whispered, “If you’re willing, we can try next time.”
Hearing that, Bo Ying raised her hand and punched his shoulder, “I didn’t mean anything.”
She just inexplicably thought of those comics she read a long, long time ago, which seemed to have office play.
She hadn’t read them in ages, but after Zheng Jinyao mentioned it today, she suddenly remembered.
He Jingxiu knew she was just shy, and almost imperceptibly curved his lips.
“Alright, then it’s what I want.”
He whispered intimate, naughty words to her, “I want to try it with you here.”
The man’s inherent badness was obvious. He hadn’t revealed it before because he didn’t have a girlfriend and was afraid of scaring Bo Ying, but in reality, his mind wasn’t entirely filled with healthy thoughts.
Bo Ying’s face flushed, and uncontrollable images formed in her mind.
She lowered her head, leaning against He Jingxiu’s chest, giving a weak warning, “CEO He, mind your words.”
He Jingxiu smiled, embracing her without speaking further.

The two quietly hugged for a while, and Bo Ying felt sleepy.
“Go to the lounge and sleep for a bit.”
“What about you?”
He Jingxiu gestured, “I still have some things to finish. We’ll leave once I’m done.”
Bo Ying “oh-ed” and got up, walking towards the lounge.
A moment later, she came out with a thick blanket.
He Jingxiu looked at her, puzzled.
Bo Ying said confidently, “I want to rest on your sofa today.”
“...”
He Jingxiu chuckled to himself, “Okay.”
He didn’t expose her, “Tell me if you’re cold.”
“Mm.”
Whether it was at night or for an afternoon nap, Bo Ying habitually played on her phone for a while.
When she was just being affectionate with He Jingxiu, she essentially forgot about her phone as a communication tool. So, when she opened it now and saw dozens of unread WeChat messages, she was stunned.
She thought for a moment, it had only been about an hour since she arrived, had something major happened?
Opening it, the first message she saw was from a female colleague in the legal department, not very close, but on good terms with her.
[Bo Ying!! Did you go to the company with CEO He today?]
[Bo Ying! Someone said they saw you throwing yourself at CEO He and being pushed away by him. Don’t you have a boyfriend? Are you pursuing CEO He?]
[Oh my goodness, reply when you see this message. I saw another group chat without you talking about this.]
...
Besides this colleague, several other familiar colleagues from other departments also sent her messages.
Pei Yunmeng was naturally no exception.
But she knew about their situation, so she was completely confused by everyone saying He Jingxiu pushed her away. What was going on? Did they have a fight?
Could it be because Bo Ying neglected CEO He while filming the show?
Bo Ying saw her message and couldn’t help but laugh: [What are you thinking?]
Pei Yunmeng: [What’s going on?]
Bo Ying sighed helplessly and could only briefly explain her “staging an accident” story with He Jingxiu in the underground parking lot.
After hearing her story, Pei Yunmeng sent her several angry emojis.
Bo Ying: [?]
Pei Yunmeng: [Why am I so masochistic to come here and eat you and CEO He’s dog food?]
Bo Ying couldn’t help but laugh.
Pei Yunmeng vented for a while, then couldn’t resist telling her: [But the people in the company are talking excitedly, implying you’re fantasizing or something. Aren’t you going to show off your love with CEO He and shut them up?]
Bo Ying thought for a moment, [We’ll see. No rush now. Anyway, I’m filming upstairs and won’t run into them.]
Pei Yunmeng: [Oh, planning something big?]
Bo Ying: [It’s not impossible.]
________________________________________
After talking to Pei Yunmeng, Bo Ying stared blankly at the messages from other colleagues, unsure how to reply.
After a moment of thought, she turned her head to look at the man working at his desk.
“CEO He.”
He Jingxiu looked up at her, “What’s wrong?”
Bo Ying walked closer to him, holding her phone. She opened the group chat screenshot Pei Yunmeng had just sent her and hummed softly, “Look, your company’s people are saying I’m wishful thinking and overestimating myself by wanting to be the CEO’s wife.”
He Jingxiu frowned and looked down.
It was a conversation between several people. He didn’t see what was said before, but what was exposed to him were unpleasant words.
Some said that Bo Ying really thought she was a young lady and could get anything she wanted, even wanting to be He Jingxiu’s girlfriend, asking if she thought she could be the CEO’s wife, and so on.
After reading, He Jingxiu’s brows furrowed tightly. He looked at Bo Ying, “Who are these people?”
“...”
Bo Ying was stunned, and asked, amused, “Is that all you want to ask?”
He Jingxiu “hmm-ed,” his expression serious, “The group doesn’t need employees who speak so indiscreetly.”
Bo Ying choked slightly. She stared at him for a moment, knowing he was serious.
She thought for a moment. Firing them wasn’t necessary. It’s not easy for a company to cultivate an employee. Moreover, she didn’t want people to think He Jingxiu was just a mindless boss who blindly protected his girlfriend.
Her eyes darted around. She poked He Jingxiu’s chest and asked fiercely, “Is that the point?”
He Jingxiu looked at her in confusion, as if asking—Isn’t it?
Bo Ying hummed softly, and said proudly, “The point is they said I want to be the CEO’s wife.”
“...”
He Jingxiu was silent for a moment, probably understanding her thoughts.
He smiled, playing along, “Don’t you want to be the CEO’s wife?”
Bo Ying choked a little. Facing his deep eyes, her eyelashes flickered, and she said awkwardly, “You’ll have to beg me first.”
He Jingxiu touched her lips, readily playing along. His voice was deep as he said, “Okay, I’m begging you.”
Bo Ying wasn’t surprised that he made her laugh. She kissed him主动, “Your begging has no sincerity at all.”
How could anyone be so casual?
He Jingxiu stroked her head, agreeing good-naturedly, “Then I’ll be more sincere next time.”
Bo Ying gave him a sideways glance.
________________________________________
Actually, she wasn’t really bothered by what those colleagues said. Only those who want something they can’t have act so sour. She had everything she wanted in her hands, so she wouldn’t bother arguing with them.
However, even if she didn’t care, it didn’t mean she was willing to be talked about like that.
As she was thinking, He Jingxiu asked her, “Are you going to continue like this with me?”
Bo Ying looked at him, puzzled.
He Jingxiu prompted, “Find a chance to tell everyone?”
“Okay,” Bo Ying said, “At the annual meeting.”
She blinked, looking at He Jingxiu, “How about that?”
He Jingxiu sighed helplessly, “That’s still some time away.”
Their company’s annual meeting was usually held half a month or a week before the New Year holiday. It was still about three months until the New Year.
Bo Ying smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and asking, “What, CEO He, can’t wait?”
He Jingxiu pinched the flesh on her waist, and said in a deep voice, “Indeed.”
He was a little impatient to declare his sovereignty.
He didn’t know if Bo Ying was aware, but quite a few colleagues in the company liked her. Occasionally, when he went to other departments, he would even hear them discussing Bo Ying.
He Jingxiu, when it came to relationships, was just an ordinary man.
Although he wouldn’t tell Bo Ying who had a crush on her or anything, he would secretly keep it in mind.
His girlfriend was popular, and while he was happy, he was also a little jealous.
Bo Ying heard his honest words, curved her lips, and coaxed, “It’s just over two months, it’ll pass quickly.”
He Jingxiu reluctantly agreed.
After He Jingxiu finished his work, the two left the company.
As they left, He Jingxiu’s assistants were still there.
Bo Ying glanced at them and whispered, “Do they really not mind working overtime on weekends?”
He Jingxiu: “It’s close to the end of the year, so there’s more work.”
Bo Ying nodded.
He Jingxiu looked at her and smiled, “They get paid overtime, so they’re not working for free.”
Hearing that, Bo Ying became a little curious.
“I heard them say your assistants’ salaries are particularly high. How high?”
He Jingxiu glanced at her, “Want to know?”
“Very much.”
He Jingxiu thought for a moment, “Assistant Qi’s annual salary and bonus should be enough to buy an apartment.”
Bo Ying: “...”
Her eyelid twitched, “Here?”
The housing prices here were absurdly high. Even in the suburbs, it would cost at least two million, not to mention the city center.
He Jingxiu “mm-ed.”
However, only Qi Xuezhen was like this. The salaries of the other assistants, while not vastly different from his, didn’t have such high bonuses and year-end bonuses.
Qi Xuezhen was He Jingxiu’s assistant, but he would only be doing it for a few years. He would be arranged to be a general manager or deputy general manager in other branch companies.
Although Bo Ying’s own salary wasn’t low, it really wasn’t high either.
For someone just starting her career, a monthly salary of 30,000 was actually very good. But after hearing about Qi Xuezhen’s, she felt her own salary was so low.
Thinking this, Bo Ying’s eyes curved as she looked at He Jingxiu, rubbing his arm and asking, “CEO He.”
He Jingxiu looked at her.
Bo Ying looked at him eagerly, asking directly, “Do you still need an assistant?”
He Jingxiu: “...”
Bo Ying volunteered, “Do I look like the next assistant you’re going to hire?”
“...”
