No creature wants to be seen by others at its most disheveled, and humans are no exception.
So when Ai Li heard her bestie's call, she was startled.
She frantically slapped Qiu Tu's thigh, attempting to break free.
At this mont, Qiu Tu was already comfortable, so after hissing a few tis with his eyes closed, he let go of Ai Li's pigtails.
"Cough, cough." Ai Li coughed twice, glaring at Qiu Tu with a face full of sha and indignation.
She realized that the man in front of her was particularly skilled at tornting and manipulating people!
He always precisely stepped on others' bottom lines, driving them crazy without pushing them to flip out.
'This is infuriating!'
Thinking this, Ai Li didn't have ti to settle scores with Qiu Tu as she hastily grabbed his pants and tossed them to him, whispering, "Quickly put them on. Get out."
Having said that, she hurriedly scrambled into a business suit and then quickly walked towards the door, calling out as she went, "Coming, just a mont."
As she spoke, she arrived at the door and then stopped, continually peering into the lounge.
Luckily, although Qiu Tu could be ridiculous in his actions, he was still trustworthy.
Having had his pleasure, he didn't continue causing trouble but picked up Red Hair instead, dragging Red Hair's confidant to the office's sofa area.
Once she saw Qiu Tu sit down on the sofa, Ai Li breathed a sigh of relief.
She licked her lips, feeling a bit guilty like a thief, and straightened out the pigtails that Qiu Tu had been pulling, then opened the door.
Won may be born actresses, so as soon as the door opened, Ai Li's facial expression seamlessly switched to a smiling one.
She looked at Yanyan outside the door and said, "Yanyan, what brings you here?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Yanyan wrinkled her nose slightly.
The scent of mock orange was simply too strong.
But how clever Yanyan was! Although she detected sothing amiss, her facial expression didn't change at all, yet her watery eyes quickly scanned the room.
The next second, she spotted Qiu Tu sitting on the sofa, enjoying his Sage Ti.
Suddenly, it dawned on her: Oh my! Her bestie had really grown up; she was secretly snacking behind her back!
Thinking this, she bit her lip, her mind racing.
Shortly after, she had an idea.
She didn't alarm the suspect but instead looked innocently at Ai Li, saying, "Ai Li, did you forget?"
"You were promoted to Bureau Chief, but you lack trustworthy confidants, not even having a personal secretary."
"So you asked Xue'er to find Secretary Han and get the Third Departnt of Attendants to transfer so confidants over."
"Today, Xue'er asked to pick up those people, and they're here now, handling the procedures at the Organizational Departnt."
Hearing Yanyan's words, Ai Li's face showed a mont of realization.
Indeed, that was the case.
Although she was fast-tracked to Bureau Chief due to patronage, her foundations in Xinjie City were still shallow, so she needed those confidants to help maintain the situation.
Normally, this was nothing unusual. She could've just notified Huang Shangzong or Secretary Han and transferred a few people without a problem.
But... don't forget, during this period, Huang Shangzong was aggravated by Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan's delaying tactics, losing his temper daily, smashing tables and chairs.
In order to avoid exceeding the budget, Secretary Han even replaced all the office decorations with iron-made ones this ti.
Even if they got dented, they could be reforged and reused.
It could be said that the two were in the midst of a "battle of wits and courage."
Ai Li has been continuously unsuccessful lately and didn't want to jinx it, so she let Xue'er coordinate.
Yesterday, Xue'er said that the arrangents were made, and now it seed the people had arrived.
With this in mind, a smile couldn't help but appear on Ai Li's face.
She said, "That's great."
"In that case, Yanyan, would you please help lead them to the office."
Having said this, Ai Li was ready to close the door—Qiu Tu was still in the office, which made her feel a bit nervous.
But at that mont, sothing unexpected happened.
Yanyan "Eh?" and then said, "Ai Li, did you sneak a drink of yogurt? Why is there still a yogurt stain by your mouth?"
As she spoke, Yanyan extended her slender finger and wiped Ai Li's mouth.
Ai Li looked at her in horror, about to say sothing.
But then, Yanyan directly placed the yogurt-stained finger into her mouth and tasted it.
"Yanyan! I!" Ai Li was entirely flustered, not knowing what to say.
But Yanyan's eyes sparkled, and with an innocent angelic face, she complinted, "Tastes so good, and it's sticky, Ai Li."
Ai Li: ???
Ai Li felt like her brain couldn't keep up.
Good.... tasty?
Had her taste buds gone awry?
Before she could figure it out, Yanyan chuckled and waved her hand, saying, "Ai Li, you're really naughty, you can't keep snacking by yourself in the future, okay?"
"I'll go call them now."
With that, Yanyan left with that sa innocent smile, turning away from the office door.
At this point, Ai Li was utterly blank.
She forgot how she made it back to the office, how she ended up on the sofa, or how she ca to sit on Qiu Tu's lap.
Just like that, sitting on Qiu Tu's lap, being caressed by Qiu Tu, Ai Li was silent for a minute or two before looking at Qiu Tu, her face filled with disbelief as she said, "Just now, did Yanyan eat your...?"
