CH 53.2

After returning home that night, Xu Xinghe was suddenly pulled into a chat group called “9.26 Team Building”. There were members of the Third Group and the Sixth Group inside. A total of 26 people.

Conrad, the leader of the Third Group: “Our project vacation has been approved! From Wednesday to Friday, including the weekend, there are five days in total. We can travel to any city on the planet. Where do you want to go? Do you have any good suggestions? Just speak up @everyone”

The group suddenly cheered.

Excitedly chatting and discussing.

Xu Xinghe didn’t really want to go anywhere, so he just lay on the bed and watched them chat with each other.

“I want to go to Isabelle’s Sky Garden!”

“I just went to this place during the summer vacation… There are so many people! It doesn’t feel suitable for group activities QAQ”

“What about the seaside resort in the Blue Star Islands?”

“Isn’t it winter over there? How can you go to the beach in winter, why don’t you go to see a serious snow scene.”

“Has anyone been to Nanga City in the north? It seems to be very popular in the past two years. It is said that the snow is very beautiful. Are you interested in the natural wonder of the golden dome of sunshine on Nanga Mountain?”

Xu Xinghe swiped his fingertips on the screen slightly. The person who made the suggestion was Gu Nai.

Since the last forum turmoil, he could clearly feel that Gu Nai was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

While communication at work is still inevitable, there were no extra words in private. At the celebration dinner just now, the eyes of the two inadvertently collided, and Gu Nai just smiled and nodded to him.

However, Xu Xinghe was happy to see it happen. Between colleagues, one can’t be too rigid, and one shouldn’t be too enthusiastic.

Everyone works hard and solves problems together during working hours. After getting off work, they can choose whether to have a meal, sing a song, or enrich their free time. In his opinion, this is the perfect relationship between colleagues.

“This is ok! Nanga is also a new celebrity attraction these past two years. I have always wanted to go and haven’t made it.”

“It is said that there are not many people here, so it won’t be very crowded”

“I searched for photos online. This place is so beautiful!”

“Okay, why don’t we go here?”

Gu Nai’s suggestion was quickly echoed by many people.

After deciding, they checked with the two team leaders: “Is this place okay? @Conrad @Xu Xinghe”

Xu Xinghe: “I have no opinion”

Conrad: “Same, then I’ll talk to Mr. Liang tomorrow.”

That night, Xu Xinghe told Ling Changfeng the news in the form of an email.

Marshal Ling’s recent work meetings also suddenly increased, and he didn’t know what he was rushing around for. He often worked overtime until late at night, so the two saw each other less, while their online chatting time increased.

In the next few days, the minds of the members of the Third and Sixth Groups were basically not at work.

First, they just finished a big project, and there are only some final touches left to make. Second, there are no new projects for the time being, so the work pressure is much less. Third, the five-day long holiday is just around the corner. Everyone’s mind has long drifted to the trip, discussing during the break and at mealtime.

In such an atmosphere of anticipation, Wednesday arrived in the blink of an eye.

That night, Ling Changfeng left work early for once, and went to the Ark to pick up Xu Xinghe. The two went to a five-star restaurant in the city center for dinner together.

After returning home, Xu Xinghe hurriedly ran back to his room to pack his luggage.

Xiaoqi wandered around him curiously, occasionally tugging at the suitcase with her claws, or simply got into his suitcase and shrank herself into a stuffed ball.

Xu Xinghe was helpless and had to carry Ms. Xiaoqi out again and again.

After a while, the doorbell rang again.

“Please come in.” Xu Xinghe saw that Ling Changfeng was on the screen, and let him in without thinking, while continuing to pack.

As soon as Ling Changfeng entered the room, he saw all kinds of clothes and daily necessities spread evenly on the floor, which was a mess.

He couldn’t help but pause, raised his head and asked Xu Xinghe, “How many days are you gone for?”

Xu Xinghe answered while cleaning up, “Five days… It’s actually four and a half days, and I’ll be back at noon on the fifth day.”

Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe’s 32-inch giant suitcase. “Five days, so many things to bring?”

Xu Xinghe tilted his head and looked at his suitcase. “Is this a lot?”

Ling Changfeng: “…”

While speaking, Xiaoqi flicked her tail again and flexibly jumped into the suitcase.

Only then did Xu Xinghe remember one thing, so he stopped what he was doing, stood up, turned his head, and looked at Ling Changfeng solemnly. “By the way, while I’m away these days, I have an urgent matter to ask you– “

Ling Changfeng looked back indifferently. “I will help you feed Xiaoqi.”

Xu Xinghe: “…” This person has actually learned how to answer!

He nodded: “Thank you, I’ll leave Xiaoqi to you.”

Ling Changfeng looked at him. “Is there anything else?”

Xu Xinghe shook his head: “No, I’ll be back in five days anyway.”

After that, he continued to pack.

Ling Changfeng silently looked at his little spouse with an unpredictable expression on his face.

Although there will be a beautiful two-week honeymoon vacation waiting for them in the future, Marshal Ling was inexplicably depressed thinking of the next four or five days of separation.

Especially when he discovered his little spouse didn’t share his mood at all, and was still packing in high spirits.

Marshal Ling was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: “You have to leave for five days…”

Xu Xinghe waited for him to continue, but he didn’t wait for a long time, so he raised his head again. “Well, what’s wrong?”

Ling Changfeng asked indifferently: “What do I do if I miss you?”

Xu Xinghe’s movements froze, and his eyes widened immediately. “What?”

Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes, and his mismatched eyes lightly swept across Xiaoqi in the box. “I mean the cat.”

Xu Xinghe blinked: “…Oh.”

He gently hugged his cat out, then folded the clothes in his hands neatly and put them in the suitcase.

Ling Changfeng repeated it again: “What if the cat misses you?”

“Eh?” Xu Xinghe was slightly startled, and looked down at Ms. Xiaoqi, who was still wandering around the suitcase. “I’ve been on a business trip before, and Xiaoqi didn’t seem to have much reaction. If she’s accompanied by Aaron, she shouldn’t be bored? Besides, I’ll be back soon, there will be no problem.”

Ling Changfeng pursed his lips noncommittally: “Cats love their masters very much, they will miss them after a long time.”

“Ah?” Xu Xinghe raised his head blankly, his expression became a bit complicated. “Perhaps…the creature you’re talking about is called a dog?”

Ling Changfeng: “…”

Marshal Ling was silent for two seconds, and said without changing his expression. “But Xiaoqi sticks to you very much.”

Xu Xinghe was also a little confused when he saw his serious appearance.

Thinking about it carefully, although he’s traveled for business before, since he started raising Xiaoqi, he has never gone away for more than 3 days.

“Then what to do…” Xu Xinghe murmured.

“How about—” Ling Changfeng’s eyes passed over Xu Xinghe, and he quietly suggested: “Let’s have a video call every night?”

Xu Xinghe was stunned: “With Xiaoqi?”

Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes: “En, otherwise, the cat will miss you.”

Yes, the “cat”

Meow, says the Marshal.
