Jiang Jingyu took a sip of coffee and asked Zhang Yang to bring down two breakfasts from the restaurant.
Zhang Yang went, and he sent a message to Tong An'an.
"Did you finish your scan?"
She did. But Tong An'an didn't want to go to his office.
She didn't intend to hide their relationship, but she also didn't want it to be too public.
Dating the boss openly during work hours? The thought alone made her scalp tingle.
She was just an intern. If people really started gossiping, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Why would I go to your office? I don't have any work to report to you. It's already work time, I can't chat with you anymore. See you at noon, don't message me, bye."
After saying that, she really stopped replying.
Jiang Jingyu looked at the breakfast and thought that she usually ate so much. If she went hungry all morning, what would happen?
It wouldn't take a few minutes. If she didn't reply to his WeChat message, he would call her!
Seeing his name, Tong An'an dared not not answer, and lowered her voice.
"What is it? So early in the morning, we only separated a few minutes ago. What do you want?"
"Come up for breakfast. It's all your favorite."
"...I'm not hungry, it's already work time."
"If you're afraid of delaying work, just eat quickly."
"I'm really not hungry..."
"You're not coming up, right? Fine, I'll bring it down to you. I'll stand outside your office and watch you eat before I leave."
Tong An'an couldn't imagine that scene. Forced, she had to agree.
"Okay, okay, I'll come up. Wait a moment."
"No waiting, come up immediately, right now."
After hanging up the phone, seeing that everyone had already started their work, she quietly left her office and went to the president's office.
Jiang Jingyu was waiting for her at the door. Seeing her appear, his eyes lit up, and he extended his hand.
Such affection, such doting.
Zhang Yang saw it for the first time and was stunned.
So this is how President Jiang acted when he was in love~
Tong An'an was afraid of Zhang Yang seeing them being affectionate, so she didn't dare to give him her hand and quickly darted into the office.
Jiang Jingyu closed the door and followed her, feeling a bit wronged.
"Am I that embarrassing? You're so afraid of us being close that you won't even hold my hand?"
"If I had known you would be so high-profile, I wouldn't have agreed to you," Tong An'an said.
"You're asking me to come to your office during work hours. What would people say if they saw us?"
"I don't want people to say that I got this job because of you."
Jiang Jingyu coaxed her, "The situation is special, you didn't eat this morning. If you wake up earlier in the future and eat your meals obediently, I promise I won't bother you."
The two faced each other and ate breakfast sweetly. Tong An'an wiped her mouth and was about to leave.
Jiang Jingyu held her hand, "It's only been five minutes. Have a cup of coffee before you go."
Tong An'an was really anxious, "Can you stop this? If my leader looks for me because I left my post without permission, what will I say?"
Jiang Jingyu looked pitifully, "I'm just worried you stayed up too late last night and are tired today. Have a cup of coffee to perk you up."
"Then give me the coffee, and I'll drink it in my own office."
"Don't you miss me at all? Don't you want to spend a little more time with me?"
Tong An'an was speechless. She did miss him, but...
Seeing her look troubled and anxious, Jiang Jingyu stopped teasing her.
"Alright, alright, go, I won't tease you anymore. See you at noon."
Tong An'an took a sip of his coffee and ran away.
She returned to her workstation, her heart pounding. Fortunately, no one noticed her.
She started studying with the documents, and after only a few minutes, she heard someone call out for Assistant Zhang.
She looked up and saw Zhang Yang standing beside Anna's workstation with a beaming smile.
"President Jiang just brought back a batch of fresh coffee beans from Brazil a few days ago. The taste is exceptionally good. To thank you all for treating me to meals a few days ago, I brought some for you to try."
"You all carry on with your work. Give me your cups, and I'll serve you ladies your coffee."
Everyone cheered and brought their tea cups to him.
Only Tong An'an understood in her heart that this wasn't about bringing coffee for everyone. It was clearly Jiang Jingyu using his position for personal reasons, specially asking Zhang Yang to make coffee for her.
Her heart felt so sweet.
Dating was truly wonderful.
No wonder everyone in the world longed for love.
Why didn't she meet Jiang Jingyu sooner?
Time passed quickly amidst their busy schedules. In the blink of an eye, it was 11 o'clock.
Everyone started discussing where to eat lunch and what to eat.
Tong An'an didn't have much money and never ate out with them, so everyone assumed she would go to the cafeteria. As they didn't include her in the discussion, Tong An'an sent a message to Jiang Jingyu.
"Ding dong."
Her phone was right beside her. Jiang Jingyu replied instantly.
"Is the diligent little bee resting? Are you missing me?"
Tong An'an: "The little bee is hungry. Are we eating at the cafeteria for lunch?"
Jiang: "If you don't want to go, we can go out too."
"That's not what I mean. I mean, should we two go to the cafeteria together, or..."
"If you're afraid of people gossiping about you behind your back, you can eat in my office."
Tong An'an thought for a moment and decided to go to his office.
After they discussed it, it was half past eleven. Everyone dispersed, and Tong An'an went to the president's office again.
Zhang Yang had already brought back the food in advance. Jiang Jingyu was still waiting for her at the door.
This time, she placed her hand in his.
They entered the office hand in hand. Jiang Jingyu pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and kicked the door shut with his foot.
"I haven't seen you all morning, I've missed you so much. Let me see if my little bee has gotten thinner from working too hard."
He cupped Tong An'an's face and looked at her. Tong An'an smiled with her eyes curving.
"After eating so much and drinking coffee, how could I get thinner."
"Still, I feel sorry for you. Was the coffee good?"
"It was good. But you don't need to specially send it to me anymore. If you keep including the whole office every time, how long can this go on?"
"Why can't it go on? Are you afraid everyone will fall in love with Zhang Yang?"
Tong An'an's implication was that it was too wasteful to do this all the time.
But then again, how could Jiang Jingyu care about such a small amount of money?
She could only say, "I like drinking plain water. If I drink too much coffee, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Jiang Jingyu saw through her completely. "You, you want to save money for me, just say it. You're beating around the bush. So virtuous, you're already worried about our joint property flowing out even though we're not married yet."
Tong An'an blushed at his words. "Who's saving money for you? Who's going to marry you?"
"Aren't you dating me with the intention of marriage? I am. I didn't realize you were a scoundrel who only wanted to take advantage and not take responsibility."
Tong An'an playfully punched him with her fist.
Jiang Jingyu laughed heartily. He suppressed the urge to kiss her and then released her, saying.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Come, let's eat."
They happily ate their meal. Tong An'an wanted to return to her office, but Jiang Jingyu refused.
"Do you have to be so hardworking? Not even resting during lunchtime."
"I am resting. I rest by leaning on my desk."
"Resting while leaning is so uncomfortable. My office has a bed, you can lie down."
"Ah, your office has a bed?"
