“Hey, Pepsi.” Si Bai pursed his lips. “Drink your milk and gain some weight!”
Pepsi blew a bubble and giggled at him.
“That brat!” Sheng Yize snorted and ended the phone call. “How dare he flirt with my daughter!”
Pepsi suddenly reached out for him. “Papa…”
Mr. Sheng arched his eyebrows and picked his daughter up. Pepsi then kissed him on the cheek and went on giggling.
“Be a good girl and go to bed now.” Sheng Yize pinched her chubby little cheeks. On the floor, Cola babbled, wanting to be picked up as well. Sheng Yize said indifferently, “Go pick up that milk bottle your sister threw on the floor.”
Cola was speechless… Daddy, am I really your child?

The next day.
Sheng Yize took An Xiaxia to work. Everyone in the company knew who An Xiaxia was and bowed to her respectfully. “Good morning, Mrs. Sheng!”
An Xiaxia was a little embarrassed by this. She was going to advise against it when Sheng Yize pressed the passcode for his personal elevator and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”
An Xiaxia had no choice but to follow him.
The building Shengshi Group occupied was immense. Sheng Yize was on the topmost floor, where the only employees were his assistant and a few secretaries. The floor looked especially empty.
Moreover, An Xiaxia noticed an interesting detail: there wasn’t a single female employee in the building!
“Well, I recall that you used to have a female secretary, didn’t you? What was her name again? She was rather pretty…” While An Xiaxia tried her best to recall the woman’s name, Sheng Yize gave her a knowing smile. “Are you jealous?”
“I’m not!” An Xiaxia protested.
“She was fired, so there’s no need to be,” said Sheng Yize casually. “Happy?”
Only then did An Xiaxia realize that Sheng Yize had done all that just for her!
“Well… It doesn’t really matter. Work is work. It’s all good, as long as you keep it separate from your personal life.”
Sheng Yize rubbed her head. “I know.”
“What do I need to do? Have you prepared an office for me?” An Xiaxia looked at Sheng Yize expectantly. His sexy thin lips curled into a smile. “Of course. Come with me.”
An Xiaxia followed him, still a little confused. When he pushed open a door, the corner of An Xiaxia’s mouth twitched. “Isn’t this your office?”
“Well, we’re running low on resources at the moment, and you’ll have to share an office with me,” said Sheng Yize matter-of-factly.
… Like hell she was going to believe that! This floor was practically empty!
An Xiaxia had long gotten used to her husband’s brazen excuses. She only vented her sarcasm inwardly and accepted this arrangement.
Sheng Yize had set up a pink desk next to his. On it was a laptop, some snacks and soft drinks, as well as a few comic books.
“We’re not busy at the moment, so do whatever you want,” Sheng Yize instructed, then busied himself with his work.

Tong Yan was a newly recruited secretary in Shengshi. He clocked in as usual this morning and was instructed by Jiang, the special assistant, to bring a file to their president to sign.
After checking Mr. Sheng’s availability via the internal line, he headed for the president’s office.
He pushed the door open and handed the file to Sheng Yize as usual.
As Sheng Yize quickly went through the pages, Tong Yan spotted the woman next to their president and his eyes instantly widened!
OMG! That woman was eating fruit in the office! She then seemed to eat something she didn’t like, and passed the half-eaten strawberry to the man next to her.
Tong Yan then watched as the haughty, noble president that they revered opened his mouth and ate that strawberry as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
