Because it was already the end of the year, Lu Yuanchen was also extremely busy. There were countless meals every day, and every day, he would return home in the middle of the night with the smell of alcohol. Also, he had to do all the work at the end of the year so that he could give himself a good annual leave. Therefore, even if the two of them lived under the same roof, they might not even see each other for a week and say a single word to each other.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched his back and rubbed his aching joints. Looking at the documents on the table, he sighed and decided to take it back to the villa to continue reading.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the villa with the documents in his arms. Surprisingly, Lu Yuanchen had not returned yet.

When Su Xiaoxiao was changing his shoes at the profound entrance, Aunt Wu immediately went forward to receive the documents in his hands, and asked with concern: "Young Mistress, have you eaten yet?"

"I won't be eating the Aunt Wu today. I still have a lot of documents to read." Ever since Uncle Hu had left, it was Aunt Wu's turn to take care of Lu Yuanchen's living arrangements.

In order to save time, Su Xiaoxiao had already eaten a piece of bread. Seeing that there were still so many documents, Su Xiaoxiao fought for every second, holding onto the documents as he ran up.

"Young mistress …" But when he looked up, Su Xiaoxiao was no longer there.

The Aunt Wu felt sorry for Su Xiaoxiao, so he poured a cup of ginseng tea and sent Su Xiaoxiao upstairs.

"Aunt Wu, why are you here?" The moment he saw Aunt Wu, Su Xiaoxiao immediately put down the document in his hand and smiled brilliantly at him. Cough cough * From time to time, a few coughing sounds could be heard.

"Young Mistress, I saw that you've been coughing these past few days. Have you caught a cold? I've poured you a cup of tea, drink it quickly while it's hot. " Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's pale face, Aunt Wu's heart ached even more. He wished that he could read all of the documents in Su Xiaoxiao's place.

Sensing Aunt Wu's concern for him, Su Xiaoxiao felt a great sense of warmth. He smiled until his eyes bent, "Thank you, Aunt Wu." Maybe it was because of the change in weather, but Su Xiaoxiao accidentally caught a cold and coughed frequently during the past few days. Even though he felt uncomfortable all over, Su Xiaoxiao still insisted on looking at the documents.

Deep into the night, Lu Yuanchen carried a body filled with the smell of alcohol and returned to his villa. His face was extremely red, and he had drank too much. However, there was no other way around it. They were all partners, so they had to drink the wine that was given to them. Lu Yuanchen was the most annoyed during New Year's Eve. There were always all kinds of social events, and he actually hated social events the most.

Although Lu Yuanchen drank a little too much, he was still conscious. He walked to the refrigerator and drank a large cup of ice water, the dry/hot expression on his face had calmed down quite a bit.

Lu Yuanchen walked up the stairs and passed by Su Xiaoxiao's room, noticing that there was a ray of light inside.

So late? What was Su Xiaoxiao doing not sleeping? With this thought in mind, Lu Yuanchen immediately raised his hand and pushed open the door to Su Xiaoxiao's room. Who knew that Su Xiaoxiao had not locked the door from the start?

Lu Yuanchen was surprised, but he immediately frowned, angering Su Xiaoxiao who was not on guard at all. Luckily she was living with him. If she was living with someone who had ulterior motives, she would not dare believe what was going to happen to Su Xiaoxiao.

Lu Yuanchen never thought that Su Xiaoxiao would never be on guard because she lived with him and trusted him.

Lu Yuanchen was just about to go in and scold Su Xiaoxiao, but who knew that he would see such a scene right after opening the door.

A small lamp was lit on the table, the table was covered with information, while Su Xiaoxiao's entire body was lying on the table, drooling and snoring, he had fallen asleep.

Lu Yuanchen walked closer to look at the information on the table, and was a little angry. He did not remember himself treating his own company's employees so harshly. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood what was going on.

He wanted to wake Su Xiaoxiao up so that she could go to bed, but seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly, he found it difficult to bear. After hesitating for a moment, he bent down and picked Su Xiaoxiao up.

Su Xiaoxiao slept very lightly, and practically the moment Lu Yuanchen's hand touched her, she woke up.

Su Xiaoxiao slept soundly, using his hands to rub his hazy eyes, looking at the blurry figure in front of him, after seeing it clearly, he immediately woke up. He called out in panic, "CEO."

"What are you doing staying up so late?" Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, Lu Yuanchen's tone was a little aggressive.

"There's a report to catch up with." Su Xiaoxiao explained. Then, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Lu Yuanchen's body and unconsciously furrowed his brows. He asked out of concern, "CEO, you just came back? "Would you like me to make you a cup of wine?"

Ever since he found out that Lu Yuanchen had to go out and drink every day, Su Xiaoxiao very consciously made a cup of alcohol for Lu Yuanchen every night and placed it on the table. It's too busy today. Su Xiaoxiao forgot all about it.

Lu Yuanchen rubbed his head which had a headache and said: "No need, it's very late. Go to sleep."

"Alright then. CEO, please speak first. I still need to continue looking through the documents." Su Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep after watching this. So the report has not been sorted out. Su Xiaoxiao was glad that Lu Yuanchen woke her up, if not she would definitely be scolded again tomorrow.

Hearing that Su Xiaoxiao still wanted to continue looking at the documents, Lu Yuanchen was dissatisfied, "I don't remember myself treating my own employees so harshly, go to sleep."

"But …" Su Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant, but still went back and forth from being scolded at by Lu Yuanchen the next morning.

"No buts, go to sleep." Lu Yuanchen said in an commanding tone, but anyone could hear the concern in his voice.

When they reached Yuanchen, he went to bed. But when Lu Yuanchen left, Su Xiaoxiao threw back his blanket and got off the bed to continue working.

So much so that Su Xiaoxiao slept for three hours in one night. As a result of failing to sleep well, on the second day, when Su Xiaoxiao woke up, he felt sore all over his body, lightheaded, and his complexion had turned even uglier. Aunt Wu called out to Su Xiaoxiao a few times before Su Xiaoxiao dragged his exhausted body out of the room.

Coincidentally, he bumped into Lu Yuanchen who had just finished washing up.

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head that was a little dizzy, seeing Lu Yuanchen's forced smile as he greeted, "CEO, good morning."

Lu Yuanchen looked at Su Xiaoxiao's abnormal blush. He frowned and asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well?"

"I'm fine." Su Xiaoxiao shook his head to show that he was fine, and smiled towards Lu Yuanchen in a relaxed manner. Only she herself knew how terrible her body felt. But thinking about handing the report to the Director Soong today, Su Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and persevered. He thought that after he submitted the report, he would take a leave of absence and come back to rest.

Lu Yuanchen originally wanted Su Xiaoxiao to take a break and rest at home, but when he saw Su Xiaoxiao's persistent look, he did not say anything in the end.

In the design department, Director Soong sat on a chair and looked at Su Xiaoxiao's report. The more he looked, the deeper his frown got, he angrily threw the documents onto the table, ignoring Su Xiaoxiao's pale face, he shouted: "This is the report you made?

Su Xiaoxiao, you have been in the design department for so long, you can't even complete the most basic of reports. "I'll do it again when I get back." In fact, what Director Soong wanted to say the most was, why would the CEO choose a useless woman like you?

Just one sentence from the Director Soong caused all the hard work Su Xiaoxiao had done for an entire night to be for naught. The small hand by his side immediately clenched into a fist. How could he not be angry?

A hint of fury appeared in his eyes as he looked at Director Soong. For the first time, Su Xiaoxiao mustered his courage to resist as he spoke out word by word, "No."
