She tried her best to calm herself down, but no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to do so. She pursed her lips, and when she turned around to look at him once more, she saw that he had already written on four pieces of paper. Her brain couldn't help but move her lips.
"Guide …"
But before she could say a single word, the doorbell rang.
Xia Shangzhou's writing paused for a moment before he put down his brush and prepared to stand up. "I'll go open the door …"
Lin Jiayi swallowed the words she was about to say and said, "I'll go …"
After saying those words, she stood up and walked toward the door.
Seeing that Lin Jiayi had gone to open the door, Xia Shangzhou picked up his brush and continued writing on the paper.
Not too long later, the door to the living room opened, and a male voice sounded, "Good morning …"
Even though it was just two words, Xia Shangzhou could still tell that the person who had come was Qin Ting.
Qin Ting was Lin Jiayi's boyfriend, and he had nothing to do with Lin Jiayi at the moment. If Qin Ting were to see him at Lin Jiayi's house in the morning … would it cause any trouble for Lin Jiayi?
Xia Shangzhou tightened his grip on the brush a little, and without much thought, he tucked the paper into his pocket. After which, he quickly got up and moved the pots and pans on the dining table into the kitchen.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you give me a call in advance … "
"I have an appointment with Mr. Chen of Chenyang Group for breakfast today, and it happens to be near your company. I thought that you might not have had breakfast yet, so I came over to pick you up and have breakfast together."
"All the more reason for you to give me a call in advance then. I just had breakfast …"
By the time Lin Jiayi finished her words, Qin Ting and Lin Jiayi had already reached the entrance of the dining room. At the same time, Xia Shangzhou also returned from the kitchen and sat back down on his chair.
Qin Ting was just about to reply to Lin Jiayi, but when he saw Xia Shangzhou sitting in the dining room, he froze for a moment before asking, "Why are you here, Mr. Xia?"
"I see …" Lin Jiayi nodded. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Xia Shangzhou instinctively spoke up, "Mr. Qin, it's like this. I lost an important document a while ago, and I was unable to find it. Two days ago, Boss Lin told me that she found it at her place, and it just so happened that I was going to use it today, so I rushed over to retrieve it …"
"I see …" Qin Ting glanced at the clean dining table before turning to Lin Jiayi and asking, "… Jiayi, have you really eaten breakfast?"
Fearing that Lin Jiayi would let the cat out of the bag, Xia Shangzhou quickly added, "I've already eaten. On my way here, Boss Lin said that she was hungry, so she asked me to bring some food for her."
Instead of looking at Xia Shangzhou, Qin Ting's gaze remained fixed on Lin Jiayi's face.
He seemed to believe Xia Shangzhou's words, and he didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, he asked, "Jiayi, are you going to work now? If you're going, I can send you off … "
Lin Jiayi stared at Xia Shangzhou intently. Qin Ting couldn't possibly know the truth, but she knew that Xia Shangzhou's words were all lies.
Was he afraid that Qin Ting would misunderstand that there was something going on between the two of them, so he cleaned the dining table so cleanly that he didn't leave any trace that he had stayed here for too long?
Noticing that Lin Jiayi wasn't saying a word, Qin Ting spoke up once more with a gentle voice, "Jiayi?"
