253 Interrupting The Confession
“I’ll remember that.” Tao Xin nodded with confidence.
If she could not even remember such a small thing, she probably would not even be able to touch the door of the secretary next to Jing Yan.
He Miao put away the drawing with a peace of mind, picked up the milk on the bedside table, and took a sip. She asked with a smile, “How long have you been working for Jing Yan?”
Tao Xin pretended to be respectful and could not help but show a hint of pride. “I’ve been here since President Jing took over the position of President.”
He Miao nodded in understanding, and her smile became even sweeter. “I’ll have to trouble you to be the supervisor of the renovation. If I have anything to discuss with Jing Yan, I’ll have to trouble you to run errands for me.”
Tao Xin’s eyes lit up and she nodded happily. “Okay, Miss He. I’ll definitely complete this task. If there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me.”
He Miao took in all of her expressions, but she retracted her gaze without a word. After sending a message to Jing Yan, she asked her to go do her work.
Tao Xin was overjoyed when she heard that she would be able to see Jing Yan in a while. She stood up and said, “Then I won’t disturb Miss He’s rest.”
After they left, He Miao picked up her phone again. After typing out a request for a secretary, she put down her phone and started thinking about a new fragrance.
She had deliberately mentioned the renovation to Tao Xin at the same time as Jing Yan, so that Tao Xin would not be slacking on the renovation even if she had any ideas.
If she was right, Tao Xin would try her best to speed up the project in order to show off her ability in front of Jing Yan.
Having experienced two lives, He Miao was no longer an innocent girl. She could see through Tao Xin’s intentions at a glance. If Tao Xin could complete the task she gave her honestly, she could forget about her personal feelings.
However, if Tao Xin tried to fool her and steal from her, then she would make sure that Tao Xin would get nothing!
The renovation was carried out in an orderly manner under Tao Xin’s supervision.
Every two days, she would find an excuse to see Jing Yan. When Chen Zhao accompanied Jing Yan to the ward to have dinner with He Miao, she would find an excuse to come over and deftly set up the food for the two. After dinner, she would thoughtfully clear the table, even fighting to finish Chen Zhao’s work.
Chen Zhao thought that she was working hard for her future, so he admired her diligence even more. While Jing Yan and He Miao were talking alone, he pulled Tao Xin out of the ward and handed her a carefully selected hair clip from his pocket. “Last time, when you were busy, your hair always covered your eyes, so I went to the mall to pick one for you. I hope you like it.”
Tao Xin pretended to be delighted and blinked her eyes, letting Chen Zhao put the hair clip on for her. She then said happily, “Thank you, Brother Chen. I like it.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Chen Zhao’s hands, which were hanging by his side, were trembling slightly. The words he wanted to confess were stuck in his throat.
He and Tao Xin had watched movies together and went shopping together. They were as sweet as a real couple, but only he knew that Tao Xin always gave him the feeling that they were at odds with each other. He could not figure out their true relationship.
That was why he had been feeling insecure recently and had been looking for a suitable opportunity to confess to her and make her his girlfriend in the truest sense.
However, for some reason, whenever he mustered the courage to confess, Tao Xin would always give him various reasons to avoid him from saying the words that he had been holding in for a long time.
The atmosphere was just right. Perhaps it was an opportunity.
He thought about it carefully and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to call out her name, Tao Xin clapped her hands in a panic and said, “Hey, look at my brain. How could I forget that today is the day to report to Miss He? I have to go back to the company and bring the bill for Miss He to see.”
His courage was broken again. Chen Zhao lowered his head in disappointment. alright then. “Come back soon. I won’t be accompanying you. I’ll go back with President Jing later.”
“Alright,” she said. Tao Xin pretended to be understanding and smiled, then waved goodbye to him.
After she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared completely. There was still some disdain for Chen Zhao in her eyes.
He was just a secretary. How could he really catch her eye? What she wanted was Jing Yan, who could do whatever he wanted in the entire business world!
In the ward, He Miao was tugging at Jing Yan’s sleeve and begging in a low voice, “I want to see Onion. I just heard from Chen Zhao that his injuries are almost healed. He should be able to leave the vet soon.”
Jing Yan glared at her sternly and covered her with the blanket. “No, I’ll have someone send Onion back to the Jing family house after he leaves the vet. There will be someone to feed him. But you’re injured now, and the puppy will definitely be excited when it sees you. What if it touches your wound?”
He Miao pouted her lips in grievance and said, “Onion is very obedient. He doesn’t make any noise at night. He just hides in my arms and licks my chin.”
