Chapter 179 I think Ms. An may be on maternity leave

3 month 30 day.

in the afternoon.

"Crack..."

Su Ming pried off the casings of all the sockets in the room.

"See? There are no cameras or bugs."

"..."

Not long after the installation was completed, An Shiyao was seen again with a dazed look, staring at the socket that had just been removed.

“I’ll tear it apart again.”

"No, that's not necessary..."

"Tear it down again."

The way he treats her is different from that he treats Mu Xueer or Xia Ye.

You need to use an unquestionable tone.

Choose for her?

When it comes to "being sick", it may not be easy to categorize as a bad thing or a good thing.

Her situation is also easy to understand.

After taking a shower, I know in my head that I have turned off the light, but when I return to the room, I immediately wonder if I really turned off the light. I turned on the faucet and remembered to turn it off, but as soon as I leave my sight, I immediately wonder if it is really turned on. Although there are many ways to prove that it has been turned off, as long as I don’t see it, I can’t let go of my anxiety.

"Wow--"

Pulling aside the curtain, she visibly shrank her shoulders.

The network cable had been unplugged, the phone was turned off and the SIM card was taken out. Even the power switch was turned off, and everything here that could communicate with the outside world through signals was not working.

leftover……

There are only a few buildings opposite the balcony windows.

To be honest, if you really want to check the residents' information, you don't have to look for Xia Ye. Su Ming has a way to get it from the property management.

But there's no point if you don't do it for her to see.

3 month 30 day.

Night.

I was not able to visit and actually investigate the residents of the buildings across the street.

"I...I know, no problem."

"I can think so...but, I..."

An Shiyao tried her best to express the conflict between her mind and body and was very frustrated.

She curled up on the sofa, hugging her white knees.

"Then you install the socket yourself. And the other things that were removed."

The socket is easy to install, but it is probably difficult to restore the shower head and electrical appliances after disassembling them. Su Ming didn't think he had the ability to put the microwave oven in place after it was broken into several pieces.

"..."

I saw her squatting on the ground barefoot, trying to concentrate on tightening the screws.

"The blade is magnetic. You hold it and then release it."

"..."

"You... have sweat on your forehead."

"?"

Just now, she was unpacking and packing clothes, and they were all soaked with sweat, but she didn't think of wiping them for herself. Now that she is sweating all over, she remembered it?

Isn't it the wrong way around for the person working to wipe the sweat off the person standing by with his hands on his hips and watching?
After working for most of the day, An Shiyao installed all the sockets in the living room.

Now comes the first difficulty, the microwave oven.

"Forget it, I think it's better to just mark it as a stinky fish and sell it for a low price for female college students' personal use."

3 month 31 day.

early morning.

"I want to take another day off."

"You are the general manager, and you are asking for leave from me, an employee?"

“I still have a lot of things to do.”

"Approved. What's the matter? I'll help you."

If it is not an important job, Su Ming can handle it.

It's too important, I'm not sure I can handle it. But I have another wife who works remotely, so it doesn't matter.

Those eyes kept staring at Su Ming's face and would not blink for a long time.

"So, is there anything else you want?"

"I want to date."

"……anything else?"

"Nothing."

The situation is the opposite of what it was 30 days ago when I didn't go to Canada.

"Clap clap clap."

Su Ming opened her laptop to work on a document while she watched.

"Mr. Su Ming doesn't know how to use the tap key to switch?"

“Isn’t it different to click on the taskbar?”

"Why are you looking at it so carefully? It's like you're checking your homework."

"Your stuff won't pass the plagiarism check. Did you paste it from the Internet?"

"..."

"How long will it take? I'm sleepy."

"Wake up, I'm helping you do your work."

"..."

"Want sleep."

"Remember to renew my leave note when you wake up tomorrow."

"You approve it yourself."

"A bit too lazy."

"..."

They chatted idly, and before Su Ming knew it, he turned around and saw that she had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Hey.

It seems like a dream.

What is that life like in Canada, the land of eagles?
The royal family, the large apartment, the daughter, the beach, the university...I come back here and continue to work overtime as a social animal, but I don’t even get overtime pay.

【…】

Does she have so many things to do all day long?
So how did she find time to spend with herself before?

It's about 3 o'clock in the morning.

Su Ming checked again to make sure there was no problem, and sent the content to different groups.

【4.1 Day Meal】

【Plan to order, Nanmenqiao branch...】

seriously.

Is it necessary to think about what your employees eat every day?

Being too conscientious will make life very tiring. Although as an employee, it is good to have a boss who is willing to listen to suggestions even on what to eat. But after this hardworking boss becomes my wife, I feel differently.

Su Ming first carried An Shiyao to the bedroom and let her sleep peacefully.

Considering her habits, he stuffed a pillow in her arms. Because of her symptoms, Su Ming didn't turn on the light even after the power was turned off again.

I turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom and set it to 20 degrees, neither too hot nor too cold. I set the fan speed to silent mode. I put a glass of water by the bed so that her throat would not feel uncomfortable when she woke up.

Back in the living room, Su Ming turned on his cell phone.

【everything is normal. 】

[I'll need you to take care of Avril for a while. Tell her for me.]

[Let me know when you decide to come to the Snow Country. Dad won’t let her down.]

[Big brother, don't worry about Xiaoye or Avril, she has always been very obedient. Xiaoye is also very obedient.]

【…】

Su Ming lit a cigarette, thought about it, and sent another message to Miao Xueer.

[How are you doing recently? Are you used to the life in Windsor Castle? ]

I have read it but I don’t want to reply.

To be honest, Su Ming felt that this kind of obvious quarrel was easier to handle.

Xia Ye's silent dedication and An Shiyao's tendency to accumulate negative emotions and anxiety and not wanting to affect her personality are not bad. I just feel too tired.

But is it necessarily a good thing to say that I would rather Xia Ye had the same innocent and pure personality as before?

If An Shiyao went back to her original rebelliousness or still treated it as a deal in the end, and let herself be executed, they would definitely not be together now. Even if they were together, she would not be able to invest much emotion in it, and would really treat her like a ball of lint.

Everyone is like this, right?

Without material things, people try their best to pursue them, thinking that they can solve everything with material foundation. But they are shocked to find that people have seven emotions and six desires, and without immediate worries, they start to worry about the long term.

Until now, An Shiyao still doesn't know what Xia Ye is, and doesn't know the existence of Miao Xue'er. Perhaps she has already known that the saying that there is nothing strange in the world is not groundless.

"..."

Holding the knife, the glow blooms.

That wasn't an attempt either.

I feel that I know An Shiyao inside out. But she doesn't seem to know me well enough. If I can let her know that she has the ability to dream, will it be a boost? To increase her sense of security.

Don't tell her about any of your worries.

Just know the good stuff.

Doing these, Su Ming did not feel any intention of "licking". A dog licks what he cannot get, and the "licking" after eating and wiping clean is called care and maintenance. Crouching there, sweating profusely, dismantling things over and over again, it is very tiring.

But it's all worth it.

【…】

Come to think of it, I rarely go out with her. The only time was when we went home, and she mustered up the courage to come to me to confirm her identity. We never had a serious date.

It was indeed important for her career to go in the direction she wanted.

But before that, her mental stability might be more important. If he can't even give her the most basic sense of security and only cares about her, then he is really treating her as an object.

"Ok?"

Su Ming doesn't have the habit of peeking into other people's privacy.

I just happened to turn on her phone, and the delayed message kept vibrating.

【…】

What a workaholic.

The phone almost froze up due to a bunch of DingTalk messages. Su Ming didn't want to look at the work stuff anymore, so he read a few WeChat messages from An Xiaoxi.

[Sister, are you really okay? ]

[I feel like you've been acting weird these days. Or is it just cold violence?]

[You were not like this before! You would even tell me how to solve the problem! ]

【…】

All blank, no messages. Have you deleted it?
Just wanting to know what An Shiyao's condition was like these days, Su Ming scanned the code with his phone.

'Synchronize recent chat history√'

Really.

She did not delete the chat history that can be seen after logging into the computer. Or her WeChat is separated into work and personal. She will not use the computer to log into her personal WeChat.

Perhaps it was the content before they looked for An Shiyao.

An Xiaoxi sent messages to An Shiyao, telling her about her daily life, things she encountered, complaints, or any academic issues she had. Her replies were indeed a little cold, mostly with responses like "I'm busy" or "I don't have time right now".

Turn up again.

On the contrary, after get off work every day, An Shiyao would take the initiative to chat with An Xiaoxi more often between 21.00:23.00 and :.

【Picture, jpg】

[Xiaoxi, what do you think of this tie? ]

【nice】

【Picture.jpg】

【it is good】

[Look carefully! I think it looks better on the second day. It has a little bit of pattern, but not too fancy. If Mr. Su Ming tied it... on his Adam's apple, I might not be able to help but keep looking at it. ]

[Tell these things to your brother-in-law]

[How can I possibly talk about my fetish? ]

【…】

【Picture.jpg】

[Do you think pure cotton is better or breathable in this weather? 】

[Sister, first of all, I am also a girl, and secondly, I am really a girl. I have never worn men's underwear. ]

【Feel it for a moment~】

【I forwarded it to my brother-in-law. 】

【…】

[I'm so scared! Stop wandering around! ]

【…】

Only the latest 30 days can be synchronized.

In addition to the fact that he seemed to treat buying things for Su Ming as a form of entertainment after get off work every day, there was also the matter about Su Ming's sister.

[Xiaoyou always seems to dislike communicating with the outside world. Is he a little autistic? ]

[Sister, after listening to your description, I think she is the type who only likes one person. She won the first place in the speech contest, which proves that her social skills are not bad at all.]

[But won’t you feel lonely inside? ]

[I think you are just trying to come up with an excuse to help as an elder.]

【…】

[I was scolded.]

【what? 】

[Xiaoyou refused to sign the things I bought and didn't want my gift. Does she hate me? ]

[Didn’t you attend the celebration as your sister-in-law a few days ago? What did you buy? 】【Picture.jpg, picture.jpg……】

【…】

[Who would give such an expensive gift for 3.8? A single bottle of magic water costs , and the mask, eye cream, and body lotion add up to to . Are you asking someone to do you a favor? Who in an ordinary family would dare to accept it? ]

[But Xiaoyou is already a sophomore, and I haven't seen her use cosmetics. Maybe... she can't bear to buy anything. I'm your sister-in-law, so I must give her something better than me.]

[On the contrary, you are so kind-hearted that you do bad things. She doesn't know how you and your brother-in-law know each other, so you have to let her know that you treat her as a family member, right? Otherwise, she will think you are looking down on her. ]

【…】

[Signed for! She accepted the concert tickets I gave her! ]

[That’s right! ]

[Then I can give her cosmetics now, right? Xiaoyou has such a good foundation. If she is willing to dress up casually, there will definitely be a lot of people chasing after her! ]

【…】

Put down the phone.

Su Ming pushed open the bedroom door, and a little hot wind blew in his face. He opened the closet and scanned the space at the bottom left.

There are a lot of things.

There were seven or eight ties packed in gift boxes. There were small bottles and jars, and even though Su Ming was not familiar with the cosmetics industry, those brands looked familiar to him.

There are also some small gifts and dolls, all packed in gift boxes.

others……

Ultra-thin, 0-sensitivity stockings. Shiny type.

Why is my toothbrush there too?
Take a look at her playlist, which is all instrumental music, and is either very quiet or bright and optimistic.

If she had the power to use, even though it might seem like she was just a gigolo, it would allow her to succeed faster. Why would she care about her nonexistent face and not use it?

If one day you will be qualified to settle down in a decent family, why should you feel unhappy about being a gigolo?

The most important thing is that they can all smile normally instead of dropping pearls.

Having three feet on one boat.

You can call it birth or the pangs of one-third of conscience.

Anyway, Su Ming only has one principle.

Since I don't treat them as fluff balls, but have invested my feelings in them, I will try my best to do my best.

Without objective judgment, no one can know the answer to whether he is a qualified partner.

"It really is……"

"Silly and cute."

She took out the chat record from the closet and found the one An Shiyao said that she liked the most.

When was the last time you wore a tie?
I run business for a living, and to let others see that I am reliable with the name tag of xxx manager.

Not this time.

There were some painted bear patterns on the brown tie. Her aesthetic was different from mine.

With a shirt?
There are new ones too.

The linen grey shirt can be worn as an inner layer in this weather. It is not that cold anymore.

Smooth out the wrinkles on your tie.

Is it better to tie it like this, or like this?
That's about it.

3 month 31 day.

early.

The curtains were closed and the lights were off in the room, so it was very dark.

An Shiyao opened her eyes dazedly.

She subconsciously tried to see if there was the person she expected around her. A second later, a hand took hers.

"Wake up at 7.01:."

"Being a general manager is such a pain in the ass. My ambition is going to be wiped out."

"..."

An Shiyao's heart was beating very fast.

she does not know.

She didn't understand why Su Ming would change into the clothes she had used to comfort herself in her fantasy. Although the tie was different from the one in her dream, the comfortable and loose way of tying it seemed better than her fantasy.

That face had a gentle smile.

It seemed like all the stress had been cleared away. There was no need to think about anything extra.

“…So handsome.”

"what?"

"..."

It was definitely said subconsciously. An Shiyao could imagine her expression must be like a nympho staring at him, mumbling in her sleep.

"What handsome? Who?"

"..."

"Think it through before talking."

Never experienced this.

But I know what Su Ming meant by thinking it through. There is no sir, and there is no you.

Her cheeks became more and more rosy as her thoughts gradually became clearer.

A strange heat rose in my lower abdomen.

"me……"

"..."

"I want to go to the bathroom!"

She had forgotten her worries and only cared about her shame. She got up and went to the bathroom.

My heart was still beating fast.

What have you done?

Without a bra, isn't it obvious that she has cherries? Can you tell at a glance that you have that kind of thought?
"How about it? I changed it specially to take you out on a date."

"?"

"Don't come in when people are having sex!"

"It's not like I haven't seen it before. You do your thing and I'll talk about mine. It won't waste any time."

"I can't get out like this!"

"Don't worry, I will see it in a way that my eyes see it but the memory is not transmitted to my brain."

"There's no such weird way!"

“It will be one of the great memories.”

"No! Mr. Su Ming! I, I can't hold it anymore!"

"Still can't change your words? Or sir?"

"...Woo."

It's extremely shameful, but there's nothing I can do.

"Husband... please."

"I didn't say I had to get out if I changed my words."

"……what."

Released. Sitting there with a red face.

She has forgotten.

Just yesterday, when she went to the bathroom, she looked carefully at the toilet for a long time and used a clothes hanger to look for any bugs in it.

"abnormal!"

"Alright, alright, I'll show you one more time, so we're even."

"You are really a pervert!"

"..."

Su Ming always believed that the fusion of souls was more important than the fusion of organs. The collision blessed by the collision of souls would be ten thousand times more comfortable than the fusion of simple organs.

Love, words are just embellishments.

Actions always speak louder than words.

"Su..."

"Um, tie... pull it closer like this."

"and then?"

"It will be...very handsome."

"What happens next?"

She stood on tiptoe a little to get a small taste. Feeling the hand covering her baby's canteen, her cheeks turned red.

"Yao, you are standing up, right?"

"...Anyway, she must have been seen a long time ago. She was wearing pajamas, and I don't know if she had a bra underneath."

"You're standing a little too much. Is he really that handsome?"

"I, I don't know... and if you touch it, you have to take responsibility."

“What if I don’t take responsibility?”

"..."

She pulled Su Ming to the sofa and glared at him angrily, "I insist that you take responsibility!"

"Think about it carefully. You may not be able to go out on a date later."

"… Can't you just not do that?"

"I can control it, can you?"

"I can!"

"..."

"Yao, what do you think of the weather today?"

"Um...don't ask strange questions at a time like this, ha..."

"..."

I guess it's OK.

At least she wouldn't have any problems while she was here. Six years of anxiety, a few months to make up for it wasn't enough, maybe it should be multiplied by ten.

Fortunately, there is enough time. If the heart disease cannot be cured, just like in the past, it doesn't matter if it is not treated. For her, the best medicine is not medicine.

“No condom…”

"It's already in. If she's pregnant, then she's pregnant. We can just hold the wedding before the belly becomes noticeable."

"..."

"You're not going to take birth control pills, are you?"

"If you don't want me to eat, I won't eat."

"I never asked you to eat. When we have a child, I will be able to see my wife who works hard as a general manager in the company and has to take care of the children, wash clothes and cook when she comes home."

"What about you?!"

"Eat and wait for death."

"Then don't keep it in there, I don't want to..."

"late."

"..."

"You were lying. Where do you want to be?"

“…All is fine.”

"You can do neither. You have to make a choice."

"..."

I saw her covering her face with her hands, shrinking unconsciously.

Perhaps she realized this, so she didn't speak, but just clamped her legs together to give her the answer.

I used to think it was unnecessary before all problems were completely solved. Now I think that the so-called necessity should not be based on self-centered subjective thinking.

Children, even if you have them, don’t necessarily become a burden.

Just like before, it could become her new hope. In that case, even if I couldn't be with her temporarily due to some things, I wouldn't get sick.

3 month 31 day.

noon.

Company staff cafeteria.

"Xiao Li, why did your master take leave? It's been a month."

"Why would Mr. An grant him such a long leave? I've been working here for three or four years, and I've never seen anyone ask for such a long leave."

"He has a good relationship with Mr. An?"

"..."

"My master had some urgent matters to deal with at home, so he was delayed for a long time."

Li Renjie took a bite of rice and said, "Boss An can approve leave because she is a really good person. She will take care of the employees if they really have problems. She does everything herself. Don't you think Boss An is much better than the fat guy before?"

"That's right. I really didn't expect that Mr. An would actually give us a low-temperature subsidy. In the past, let alone low temperatures, we were not allowed to use the air conditioner too much. We couldn't even think of a high-temperature subsidy, let alone a low-temperature subsidy."

"..."

The employee sitting next to Li Renjie whispered again, "Ms. An asked for leave again today, didn't she? I don't think she's that old, do you think she's going on a blind date?"

"Pfft, cough cough cough!"

"What are you doing?"

"It's okay, I just ate some chili."

"Oh, what kind of man do you think a woman like Ms. An would like? One who is not short of money, good-looking, and ambitious. I think he should be of complementary class, or very warm-hearted and to her liking. The kind with a sense of humor is best."

"But I feel that it's mostly because of complementary classes. If the backgrounds are too different, I guess Mr. An's family won't agree. To put it bluntly, people like us are out of sight."

"What you said makes sense."

"..."

Li Renjie ate silently, his mind unconsciously recalling what happened yesterday.

Master came back in a hurry yesterday.

Mr. An has asked for leave today.

I dare not think about it, nor do I dare to say out loud what I am thinking.

Why doesn't Mr. An come to work?
The reason is probably that the master is letting her take maternity leave! The more he thought about it, the more abstract it became. Li Renjie felt that Su Ming deserved it to be able to date Xia Ye so quickly. They were worthy of each other and they were in love.

But what kind of nonsense is it to let the general manager take maternity leave?

How can you two-timing like this? Will you not get chopped off? We went to wash feet together before, and I didn't notice it at all!

I can only say that the master is worthy of being a master. As per convention, he kept something back from teaching us.

I can't think anymore. If I keep guessing like this, the CPU will really be overloaded.
