Chapter 1142 - 1146: It’s Not Comfortable Hugging Someone All Bones
This meeting was about discussing the development of a new project, which is scheduled to launch at the end of the year. Therefore, every department attached great importance to it, especially the finance and sales departments. The project’s expenses and post-launch sales performance could not be overlooked!Every aspect is incredibly important, and since Beitang Yao personally stepped in, all departments became even more invested, as it could affect their prospects and opportunities for promotion and salary increase.
Midway through the meeting, she suddenly felt dizzy. It was just a momentary lapse; her hand on the keyboard paused for several seconds before she composed herself again. It was during that brief moment that she failed to input important information into the computer, earning Beitang Yao’s scolding.
Her nose tingled with a bit of soreness, but she held back her tears to avoid appearing weak and helpless. Beitang Yao’s harsh demands were taking a toll on her health, making her prone to dizziness and occasional nausea.
She initially wanted Ye Feng to take a look, but Ye Feng was Beitang Yao’s personal bodyguard; she had no privilege to occupy his time.
Until after the meeting, Beitang Yao took Xia Qingqian away from the company, bringing her to a Western restaurant to eat.
"Finish all of it!" Watching her suddenly lose focus during the meeting had scared him; it must be this foolish woman wasn’t having enough for breakfast, leading to low blood sugar. "Can’t even take care of your own body, yet you say you’ll cook for me in the future!" He began to complain a bit.
Xia Qingqian stared blankly at Beitang Yao. While his voice sounded somewhat displeased, it carried a subtlety that was difficult to discern.
Her heart slightly trembled, and a hint of blissful glow lingered at the corner of her mouth. She buried her head in the meal that Beitang Yao ordered for her, her heart filled with immense happiness.
"Your whole body is all bones; it’s like you’re killing me! Hugging you isn’t comfortable at all!" His gaze fell on her, scanning up and down, hoping Xia Qingqian could gain some weight.
He actually preferred girls with some flesh to hold onto, comforting and secure to cuddle at night. But Xia Qingqian was so skinny, lacking any meatiness. He seriously wondered if she suffered from malnutrition since childhood. No matter how much she ate, she just wouldn’t gain weight.
Her bones really hurt him, "I’m giving you three days to gain some weight!" He thought one day was enough! These three days, let’s just let her body have more rest. She was not suitable for doing that thing now, so for now, he would give her a reason to properly recuperate.
As he spoke, the phone on the table rang. Xia Qingqian heard the music and instinctively looked up to sneak a peek at the lit-up screen; the caller was Ziqian.
Such an intimate name indeed, seeing that name made the current dish taste bitter to her, unable to lift her spirits. Gu Ziqian’s words kept echoing in her ears; if Gu Ziqian knew her fiancé was together with another woman, what would Gu Ziqian think?
If she had known at the auction about his engagement, she would never have agreed to go with him, but in this world, there are no ifs.
Beitang Yao hesitated for a second before answering the call, a delicate feminine voice asking Beitang Yao about when he’d come to take her back to the country. Beitang Yao gave Xia Qingqian a meaningful glance before lowering his voice as much as possible: "Ziqian, Ye Feng will pick you up first to go back. I still have some matters to handle."
