Chapter 108: The Substitute Hasn't Gone Offline Yet

When that thick stack of brown paper bags was handed to her, Xu Qinghuan already anticipated that she'd have to go to the ophthalmologist upon returning to the mainland.

"You must take a careful look and make sure there are no mistakes! If I have time after I'm done, maybe I can help you double-check again. If not, then you'll just have to submit this one directly!"

"I understand."

Xu Qinghuan let out a deep breath, put on her glasses, and began to cross-reference the first part of the market research.

That lowered head, was for several hours.

Not until Fu Yan and Lin's secretary and their team finished the meeting and came to her room did she get a moment's rest.

Xu Qinghuan's room was suddenly entered by several unfamiliar colleagues, making her feel a little awkward. She was also worried that someone would notice that she hadn't slept here last night.

But Fu Yan seemed completely unfazed. He strode directly to her side, his gaze falling on the pile of data.

"Just do your best." Projects like this have so much data, she'd be exhausted trying to handle it all by herself.

"Hmm." Xu Qinghuan nodded, deliberately trying to create some distance between them.

Before anyone had even considered anything else, he suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Have you eaten breakfast

>"..."

Now, Lin Secretary's gaze was also cast over! Several responsible persons and assistants behind him also looked this way at the same time.

"Stomach aches can delay work."

Fu Yan's expression was natural, as if caring for Xu Qinghuan was something that should be taken for granted. Everyone else was surprised and astonished.

I will keep an eye on it and won't delay the progress.

"Hmm." He hummed softly, then tapped a spot in the data with his long fingers. "Here, the research and development funding for Genesis Company is very vague. Most reports like this have problems behind them."

Xu Qinghuan nodded and made a mark on the script with her pencil.

Lin, the secretary behind them, glanced over and lightly coughed. "Mr. Fu, then I'll take responsibility for summing up in my room first. If anything comes up, please give me a call."

"Good."

Upon receiving the approval, Secretary Lin quickly led them all away.

The moment the door closed, Xu Qinghuan finally let out a breath.

He looked at her, smiling. "What are you nervous about"

What do you think

She pursed her lips. "Lin Secretary usually gives you a rating of being distant from the opposite sex, but now you keep getting close to me. I'm afraid they will think something is going on."

"There's nothing to overthink."

"...."

Xu Qinghuan watched as he calmly unbuttoned his shirt, one by one, quickly revealing his cold, white skin.

She quickly averted her eyes, her voice trembling, "What...what are you going to do"

"Tea and water spilled onto my sleeve during the meeting, so I changed. Fu Yan shi, as if nothing had happened, started taking his clothes off, making Xu Qinghuan seem deliberately shy instead."

She could only lower her head, wishing she could bury herself in the data.

Fortunately, Fu Yan Shi quickly brought in some clean clothes and went into the bathroom. Otherwise, Xu Qing Huan's neck would have been strained today, and her cervical spondylosis might have acted up!

Listening to the gurgling water inside, she rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

After Fu Yan's car accident, he went straight out of town for a business trip. This obviously shows that he intentionally distanced himself from me to cool things down. It feels like he's trying to break up with me. But after coming back, he doesn't mention this at all

Could it be that he had another argument with Xia Wanyi

That's why he returned to Hong Kong alone from Washington, right

These problems are even more difficult to deal with than checking data! Every time I brought them up, he brushed me off, and even started talking about breach of contract fees!

How is it now

Is this substitute still working to have her fun, but from his tone there seemed to be a hint of indulgence and helplessness....No, no! I must have misheard! Or perhaps Fu Yanshi mistook me for a substitute again. This gentleness sh...
