Luo Yun thought that Bai Qihan might have been too busy to reply. She did not mind. She switched her phone to airplane mode and went to the study to work.

Bai Qihan finished his morning meeting and continued to deal with other documents. It was not until noon that he picked up his phone and saw Luo Yun’s message. He realized that she was merely talking about some trivial things. From her words, he could see her innocence and romance. It was like a spring breeze, warm and comforting. She really loved to smile recently.

The image of her smiling sweetly suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Boss.” Qiu Ming suddenly pushed open the door and came in, interrupting his thoughts.

“What?” Bai Qihan put down his phone.

Qiu Ming reported, “There has been progress in the development zone. It’s just that Director Gu wants to talk to you personally. I’ve checked the schedule. He’s free on Sunday at two in the afternoon. The location will be at your office. What do you think?”

“Sure.” Bai Qihan nodded.

Qiu Ming quickly noted it down. He seemed to see a faint smile on the fourth master’s face when he was noting the arranged meeting down. He wondered what good thing had happened. If something good had not happened, then he found it to be absolutely impossible for the fourth master to be so agreeable. Also, when he heard the ridiculous plan that was suggested in the morning, he had not gotten angry. He had simply and gently asked for it to be revised.

He was being so considerate and kind that it was actually quite scary. Everyone had even been discussing yesterday that with the fourth master having been forced to take on such a hot potato, he would likely not be in a good mood for the next few days. But in the end, looking at him now, he looked to be in an utterly good mood. Could it be that the fourth master felt that he had no way of resisting the arrangements, so he simply decided to give up on himself and hide his sadness with a smile? If so, this is really heartbreaking.

Luo Yun had been busy writing the plan for the whole day and finally got off the computer. She remembered that her phone was still in airplane mode, so it was possible that she had missed a lot of messages. Could it be that Bai Qihan had already replied, but she had not seen it? At the thought of this, she quickly brought out her phone. However, she discovered that she did not receive a message from him.

Bai Qihan had not replied to her at all.

Luo Yun felt as if she were unloved for a moment.

At this moment, the servant came up and brought her a bowl of sour plum soup. “Sir said that he’ll be back for dinner tonight. ”

“Tell him not to come back.”

“Really?” The servant panicked.

“No.” Luo Yun sighed. “Did he send you a message directly?” she asked after some thought.

“It was Special Assistant Qiu who informed me.”

“Oh.” It appeared that he was quite busy. After thinking about it, she had been sitting for quite a while. She had to stand up and walk around. She went straight to watch the servants cook. She wanted to learn from them a little. If she managed to glean something off, perhaps she could have the chance to cook for Bai Qihan in the future.

At night, Bai Qihan returned home and saw many exquisite dishes on the dining table.

“These are all my…” Luo Yun pointed at the table.

“You made them?” Bai Qihan was a little surprised.

“I set the plates.” Luo Yun did not steal the credit, but she wanted to let him know what she had done.

Bai Qihan was speechless. “Then it must have been hard on you.”

“It’s just a simple matter.” Luo Yun pushed a chair aside and passed him a pair of chopsticks.

Bai Qihan reached out to take it, but he found himself unable to pull them.

Luo Yun firmly gripped the pair of chopsticks as she stared into his eyes and asked, “Why didn’t you respond to my messages today?” She had a straightforward personality and did not beat around the bush.

“When I saw the messages, it was already noon.” Bai Qihan explained.

However, in Luo Yun’s opinion, this reasoning was not valid. She still did not let go of the chopsticks. “Didn’t you say that you would reply whenever you see my message?”

“You didn’t ask me anything.” He was really only familiar with communicating through questions and answers. This was also the most common communication between him and his subordinates. As such, when he was presented with such messages, he honestly had no idea how to reply.

Luo Yun was speechless. “I was sharing my feelings with you. You can share what happened over where you were with me as well. For example, what did you do today?”

“Meetings.”

Luo Yun was speechless. She let go of the chopsticks and let him get them. “Then you should just reply with whatever. It’s fine even if you just reply with an emoticon to show that you saw my message.”

Bai Qihan smiled faintly and said, “Okay.”

Luo Yun was now satisfied. She felt that he was very obedient and picked up some food for him. “Eat more.”

Bai Qihan was very quiet as he ate. Luo Yun was also quiet while eating, likely tired from having worked all day and then setting the dishes. After eating a big bowl of rice, she got another bowl.

Bai Qihan looked at her. She had been eating a lot recently.

Luo Yun finished her rice and drank a bowl of soup.

Bai Qihan was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said, “There’s something on your face.”
