Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1221: If Only He Hadn't Climbed A Higher Branch, He Wouldn't Have Ended Up Like This!

Yao Xiu crossed his legs on the other chair. After closing his eyes, he couldn't sleep at all, so he took out his phone from his pocket.         

    

He and Zeng Zhelan seemed to have a telepathic connection. Just as he was about to open his phone, Zeng Zhelan's WeChat came in. "What are you doing right now? What's the situation over there?"     

Yao Xiu glanced at Zhao Kang and typed on his phone. "It's very depressing! I might have said something wrong. That kid seemed to have given up."     

Soon after, Zeng Zhelan's message came in. "It's okay. We don't know when Zixuan will deal with him, so you can go ahead and deal with him casually. Once this person has bad intentions, it's very difficult for him to stop having them. It's just a temporary dismissal."     

Yao Xiu laughed. His family's Zeng Zhelan really knew how to comfort others.     

Chatting with this little girl on WeChat was not fun, so Yao Xiu sent her a video request.     

Zeng Zhelan quickly accepted it. "Hubby~"     

The sweet voice made Zhao Kang's body tremble and he subconsciously looked at Yao Xiu.     

The usually serious and aloof special assistant to the CEO was now like a little wolfhound. He gestured toward Zeng Zhelan, saying, "Darling, be good!"     

Zhao Kang: "...."     

What the hell, do they think he didn't exist?     

Zhao Kang looked at Yao Xiu, who was sitting across from him gloomily.     

"Hubby, you didn't come back tonight and I've absolutely no appetite."     

"Me too." Yao Xiu sighed, feeling wronged. "I only ate two bites. The food outside isn't as good as what you cook. I want to eat the red ribs you cooked."     

Zhao Kang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.     

Yao Xiu ate a lot earlier!     

He had eaten more than him. In front of a woman, he didn't even blush when he told a lie.     

Zhao Kang could hardly hold himself back. He really wanted to expose Yao Xiu!     

Zeng Zhelan's voice was heard. "Alright, I'll cook the red ribs for you tomorrow night."     

"Darling, you're the best!"     

"Hubby, I'll sleep alone tonight, what if I'm afraid of the dark?"     

"It's okay, I'll talk to you until you fall asleep."     

"Really? Aiya, hubby, why are you so good?"     

"If I'm not good to you, who am I going to be good to?"     

Zhao Kang couldn't take it anymore. He had dated many girls in his life, but neither he nor his girlfriends had ever reached this level of sweetness.     

Zhao Kang suddenly thought of his past. Among his many girlfriends, Jia Qiulian was the best for him. She was more than willing to drop out of school for him and more than that, she was willing to go to great lengths to earn money for him.         

    

He felt foolish!     

If he hadn't climbed a higher branch, he wouldn't have ended up like this.     

His girlfriend from before had said that she loved him and would do anything for him, but when her father asked her to break up with him, she just broke up with him without saying anything. Even when he begged her not to, it was useless.     

Although this was a part of her responsibility as a child, but if their love was true love, how could she break up with him so easily?     

As Zhao Kang thought about it, his teeth began to itch with anger. Women were all cheap!     

He really couldn't eat Yao Xiu and Zeng Zhelan's dog food anymore. He felt like he was going to die from holding back. He stood up, signaling that he was going out to Yao Xiu, and went to the smoking room to smoke.     

Seeing Zhao Kang leave, Yao Xiu's expression immediately turned serious, and Zeng Zhelan's face also darkened.     

"Yao Xiu, what are your plans for tonight?"     

"I plan to sleep all night and not wake up to see what he will do."     

"That's right, I also want to tell you this. Don't blame yourself if the money is stolen. Zixuan doesn't care and maybe she even wants the money to be stolen. It's okay, you should sleep well, okay?"     

"I understand, don't worry."     

Yao Xiu and Zeng Zhelan talked for a while before he hung up the video call. When he saw that Zhao Kang was still not back, he leaned on the chair and tried to sleep.     

But... He couldn't sleep at all, so he thought about Zhao Kang.     

After a long time, Zhao Kang came back. Yao Xiu quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.     

Zhao Kang came in. Seeing that Yao Xiu had fallen asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he sat down on the chair opposite him.     

Yao Xiu pricked up his ears and listened to Zhao Kang's every movement. However, he was disappointed that Zhao Kang didn't do anything.     

The conference room was very quiet. Besides his own breathing, Yao Xiu couldn't hear anything else. Unknowingly, he fell asleep.     

Zhao Kang was very competent in his work. He tried his best to stay awake. From time to time, he touched the money, and the more he touched it, the more unwilling he became.     

Finally, it was three o'clock. Zhao Kang stood up and gave Yao Xiu a gentle push. "Special Assistant Yao, it's three o'clock. It's your turn to stand guard."     

Yao Xiu felt that someone was pushing him. He raised his hand and waved at Zhao Kang, brushing him aside as he resumed his sleep.     

Zhao Kang pursed his lips and pushed Yao Xiu's body again. "Special Assistant Yao! Special Assistant Yao!"     

Yao Xiu had already said that he wouldn't wake up, so he didn't wake up. No matter how much Zhao Kang pushed or shook him, he didn't open his eyes.     

Zhao Kang had no choice but to stop waking Yao Xiu and return to his seat. Then he opened his eyes wide and resumed his vigilance.     

At six in the morning, Yao Xiu's alarm went off. He opened his eyes and saw that Zhao Kang had fallen asleep. Just as he was about to get up, Zhao Kang's phone rang.     

Yao Xiu quickly closed his eyes again.         

    

Zhao Kang took out his phone from his pocket in a daze. When he saw Jia Qiulian's name, he immediately woke up.     

He didn't dare to answer the call in front of Yao Xiu. He was really afraid that Yao Xiu would listen to his conversation, so he took his phone and went out.     

"Qiulian, why are you calling me so early? Have you collected all the money?"
