Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

After Lin Chen left, Lin Ai hugged the fruit plate, ate some fruit, turned on the heater, and got into bed.

At the end of March, almost April, the weather was a bit unstable.

Sometimes it is warm, sometimes it is very cold, and since I was sick today, Lin Ai turned on the heating.

She slept until almost seven o'clock, until her mother came into the room to check the temperature of her forehead and called her to eat dumplings. Only then did Lin Ai wake up again.

Seeing Lin Ai open her eyes, Lin's mother said distressedly: "Xiaochen said you were sick. You must be too busy at work and worked overtime to make you sick."

Sitting up on the bed with his hands, Lin Ai said, "Maybe."

Accompanying Su Mubai in International City, she could be considered to be working overtime.

Lin Ai sat up from the bed. Lin's mother said, "The dumplings are ready. Get up and eat some first. I've put some antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicines on the desk for you. Do you want to eat them now or after you finish eating the dumplings?"

Lin Ai's mother has not worked since she married his father, so she takes very good care of the family and loves her two children very much.

Lin Ai said: "I'm a little hungry, I'll go eat dumplings first and take medicine before going to bed."

"That's okay too."

Lin Ai said she wanted to get up and eat dumplings, so her mother went out to serve her dumplings.

The heater in the room was very warm, and Lin Ai's heart also felt warm. But when she suddenly thought of Su Mubai, and thought of him being alone in International City, Lin Ai couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic towards him, and thought that he was quite lonely.

After packing up and going back to the restaurant to eat dumplings, Lin Ai went to the bathroom with her clothes.

Standing under the shower and looking at the marks on her body, everything that happened with Su Mubai yesterday seemed like a dream, but she really did happen to Su Mubai like that.

Before this, even two months ago, Lin Ai never thought that her debt would be resolved in this way, that she would meet Su Mubai and reach an agreement with Su Mubai.

Thinking of the two of them being intimate yesterday, Lin Ai couldn't help but blush.

When she thought back on this incident, she felt no regrets, nor did she feel any rejection towards Su Mubai.

I am still very grateful for Su Mubai's appearance.

After taking a shower, when Lin Ai returned to the bedroom and picked up her cell phone, she realized that Su Mubai had just called her twice, once when she was eating dumplings and once when she was taking a shower, but she didn't hear any of them.

Later, he sent her another message, "Remember to take your medicine."

Su Mubai's instructions made Lin Ai smile. She didn't expect Su Mubai to be so thoughtful.

He is still single at such an old age, and his colleagues in the company have been talking about him for a long time. Many of them say that he must be arrogant and have a cold temper, so he is still single.

Now it seems that it is not the case at all. He is still a very caring person.

She used a clip to tie up her already dried hair and sent a message to Su Mubai, "I know, I'll remember it."

After replying to Su Mubai's message, Lin Ai copied Su Mubai's phone number again, and then searched for the corresponding WeChat ID through WeChat.

Hey! Sure enough, it was Su Mubai's WeChat account. His WeChat name was his full name, and his profile picture was a cartoon landscape. It seemed that he hadn't changed his profile picture for a long time.

After searching for Su Mubai's phone number, Lin Ai directly applied to add him as a WeChat friend.

It is quite troublesome to always make phone calls and send messages. Sometimes messages will be missed, after all, people use WeChat more nowadays.

Lin Ai didn't feel awkward or ashamed about taking the initiative to add Su Mubai as a friend.

Lin Ai is quite generous in this regard and never puts on airs. She just does whatever is convenient.

Between her and Su Mubai, it had always been Su Mubai who took the initiative to contact her, so it wasn't a big deal for her to add him on WeChat. Besides, her WeChat had always been blocked to the outside world, and her phone number couldn't be found by searching.

……

At International City, after calling Lin Ai twice, Lin Ai didn't answer. Su Mubai sent the message and continued to work.

But because he hadn't contacted Lin Ai, Su Mubai still felt a little empty inside, and he wasn't as focused as usual when working.

At this moment, looking at the text message Lin Ai sent back, Su Mubai felt relieved and a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he was about to reply to Lin Ai's message, Su Mubai smiled even more brightly when he saw her applying to be his friend on WeChat.

After being sick, she became more intelligent and even knew to add him on WeChat.

Holding the phone, Su Mubai quickly accepted Lin Ai as a friend on WeChat.

Then, he opened Lin Ai’s circle of friends.

Her circle of friends is not open. Although she doesn't post much, there are only three or four posts a year. They all share her daily life, such as eating with good friends, visiting parks and hiking.

A very warm circle of friends.

Perhaps it’s because I have different feelings towards Lin Ai and I pay more attention to her, so I feel that her circle of friends is warm.

When he was looking at Lin Ai's circle of friends as if nothing had happened, Lin Ai suddenly sent him a message [I was just taking a shower and eating, so I didn't hear the call. ]

Looking at the message sent by Lin Ai, Su Mubai quickly replied: "Is the fever gone?"

[Not yet, but it should be soon. ]

【I will take a day off tomorrow and go back to work when I am better. 】

[I'll see. If the situation is still good tomorrow, I won't invite you.]

Ask for leave? There was no need to ask for leave for such a small matter. Lin Ai had never thought of delaying her work.

After that, the two of them started chatting with each other, and the conversation was quite exciting.

On Su Mubai's WeChat, apart from Gu Nanyue and Zhou Bei calling him for dinner in the group, almost no one sends him messages. After all, it is a private account and not many people can add him as a friend.

Work matters are usually communicated through phone calls and emails. Which big boss would chat about work on WeChat every day?

When it was almost ten o'clock, Su Mubai saw that it was getting late. Although he was reluctant to leave Lin Ai, he finally called her.

"Don't want to sleep, don't have a headache anymore? Do you have energy?" I was chatting on WeChat just now, and finally I wanted to hear Lin Ai's voice and talk to her.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Ai said, "I was just about to say good night to you and get some rest."

Su Mubai: "Then remember to take your medicine, and don't rush to work in the next two days."

Lin Ai: “Yeah, I know.”

Then, Su Mubai gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone reluctantly.

Su Mubai had felt empty just now, but now, because Lin Ai added him on WeChat and they had a phone call, he felt at ease and no longer felt so empty.

Even when he hung up the phone, there was still a smile on his face.

The appearance of Lin Ai filled the loneliness deep in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ai put her phone on the desk, picked up the thermos and the medicine her mother prepared, took the medicine and went to bed.

The moment she turned off the lights and closed her eyes, she suddenly remembered what Lin Chen had just said. She remembered that Lin Chen said Su Mubai wanted to strive to be her boyfriend.

Furthermore, the various contacts between the two of them during this period, Su Mubai's concern for her seemed to go beyond the contractual relationship.

Unable to figure out these things, Lin Ai simply stopped thinking about them.

That night, Lin Ai slept soundly and deeply, and had a very good dream. However, when she woke up, she could not remember what she dreamed about.

……

The next morning, when Lin Ai woke up on time, she still had a low fever and felt a little weak, but she still got up and went to work.

The adult world has never been easy.

If I don't go to work these two days, I will have to work overtime in the next few days, and I won't get the full attendance award. I'd better just bear with it.

Although the family's debt has been paid off, Lin Ai still cherishes her opportunity to earn every penny, so she wants even the perfect attendance award.

She squeezed into the subway to go to the company. There were too many people in the morning and she had no seat, so she leaned on the handrail to sleep.

There were already so many people there, and with the addition of wearing a mask, she felt a little dizzy. Her legs felt a little weak as she walked towards the company after getting off the subway.

As a result, just as I entered the company and got into the elevator, I ran into Su Mubai.

He entered the elevator first and stood near the inside.

When her eyes met Su Mubai's, Su Mubai's face suddenly darkened and he just looked at her.

Her eyes seemed to be asking her, didn't I tell you not to come to the company today and have a good rest? Why are you here again?

Seeing Su Mubai's eyes, Lin Ai felt guilty.

So he quickly avoided Su Mubai's gaze, stood with his back to him, pretending not to see him and not to greet him.

"Morning, President Su."

"Morning, President Su."

"Ah."

In the elevator, other colleagues greeted Su Mubai and asked good morning, but Su Mubai's expression was so cold and reluctant.

When the elevator reached the finance and audit floor, Lin Ai got off the elevator and ran away.

What bad luck! I promised him yesterday that I would have a good rest at home for the next two days, but he caught me red-handed early in the morning.

Lin Ai dared to guarantee that if there had not been so many people in the elevator just now, Su Mubai would have scolded her in public.

But I'm doing this for work. I just want to work for him.

After returning to the office, Lin Ai did not dare to take off her mask for fear of infecting her colleagues.

Even though two colleagues in the office already had a cold, she still wore the mask all the time except when drinking water.

It was almost time for lunch when Zhou Yang suddenly came to their audit office.

"Lin Ai, the financial audit of the Linshi branch, the leader has some questions to ask, please come to the office upstairs."

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Lin Ai quickly stood up from the chair: "Okay, I'll go up now."

As she spoke, Lin Ai packed up the things on her desk and went upstairs with Zhou Yang.

She thought a leader really wanted to ask about work matters, but when she followed Zhou Yang upstairs, Zhou Yang took her directly to Su Mubai's office: "Boss Su is waiting for you inside."

"..." Lin Ai: "No, didn't the leader say he had some questions to ask?"

Zhou Yang smiled: "Boss Su is also a leader."

“…” Lin Ai was speechless again.

Yes, Su Mubai is also a leader. She almost forgot about this matter. However, Su Mubai would not talk to her directly about work. If he wanted to talk, he would go to their director. She really thought something was wrong just now.

As a result, it was Su Mubai who came to find her.

Lin Ai looked innocent, and Zhou Yang knocked on the door of Su Mubai's office as if nothing had happened: "Boss Su, Miss Lin is here."

After saying hello and leading Lin Ai into Su Mubai's office, Zhou Yang closed the door and left.

After Zhou Yang left Su Mubai's office, Lin Ai's eyes suddenly became even weaker.

Suddenly, she felt a little bit afraid of Su Mubai, afraid that Su Mubai would scold her.

Lin Ai looked at him innocently. Su Mubai approached her and took off her mask. "Didn't you say you were going to rest at home for the next two days? Why are you here again?"

He couldn't relax at all, couldn't stop staring at her.

In the morning, he wanted to call her and ask her to rest at home and not go to work for the next two days, but he was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he took the phone back.

In the end, Lin Ai came to the company after all.
