Chapter 252 – But you, you can’t even be considered a man (2)

Just as Ruan Xia was about to leave the private room to go look for Song Tingshen, he returned. His expression was the same as usual, so she assumed nothing had happened.

When he saw her, he just said, “It’s getting late. We should go home.”

“Oh, okay.” Ruan Xia looked behind him and saw that Qin Yu hadn’t come back with him. She immediately had an ominous premonition, but she didn’t ask any questions. She picked up her bag, said her goodbyes to her former coworkers, and left the karaoke place with Song Tingshen.

It was already mid-November. The temperature in late fall was okay during the daytime, but you had to wear a coat at night.

Song Tingshen draped his suit jacket over her and adjusted it. “Don’t catch a cold.”

His scent flooded her nose. He didn’t like to wear cologne, but his body always had a captivatingly good smell.

He held her hand all the way to the parking lot. There wasn’t anyone around at the moment, so Ruan Xia finally asked, “Where did you go earlier? Why didn’t you say anything? I didn’t see you after I finished singing.”

Song Tingshen opened the car door for her and very calmly answered, “I went to the bathroom.”

“Then why didn’t you answer my call?”

“I wasn’t free then.”

“Oh, okay.” Ruan Xia filled in the blank. Maybe, he really didn’t have time to answer the phone when he was in the bathroom?

She waited until Song Tingshen sat down in the driver’s seat before probingly asking, “My coworker said that CEO Qin left with you. How come he didn’t come back with you?”

“That I don’t know.”Song Tingshen looked at her. “And we didn’t leave the room together. Maybe he left early. What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Ruan Xia sighed in relief. She thought that it was unlikely that Qin Yu would talk privately with Song Tingshen. The receptionist had probably misunderstood when she saw them leaving the room around the same time.

“It’s nothing.” Ruan Xia stretched. “Ah, I won’t have to go to work next Monday. Being a rice weevil is so comfortable! It would be even better if the company pays out my salary on time.”

Based on the company’s leader’s meaning, it seemed that the company would pay out her salary on time. It would be her loss if she didn’t take it. After all, she had gone to work for a month.

She glanced at Song Tingshen and noticed that he was staring at her lower abdomen. She immediately instinctively put her hand over it. “What are you looking at?”

Song Tingshen looked away. In an exceptionally calm tone, he answered, “You have a small paunch. Come exercise with me tomorrow.”

Ruan Xia hastily inhaled and sucked in her belly. She regretted it so much. She shouldn’t have indulged just because the company was paying for that dinner. Still, she retorted, “Are you looking down on me? You think I’m fat.”

Song Tingshen started the engine while saying, “I’m not. A small paunch is quite cute too.”

Ruan Xia didn’t believe his nonsense. When the temperature dropped, people’s appetite would grow without them noticing it. The body would tell the brain that it was time to store fat…

She pushed up her cheeks. Ai, it was so tiring to be a first-rate beauty. She had to pay attention to her weight every day. Even if she only gained .1 kg, she had to limit her food the next day.
