Chapter 14 My brother-in-law eats his little cake

Dou Xiao slept soundly in his hotel room, and when he woke up, the sun was already setting.

Just as I finished washing up, the doorbell rang. A waiter pushed in a suitcase and said respectfully, "Young Master Dou, these are the clothes that General Manager Wei instructed us to prepare for you."

Upon opening the trunk, one finds a well-tailored Italian handmade suit, paired with a silk shirt and crocodile leather belt—clearly a very expensive item.

"My brother-in-law really loves me." Dou Xiao whistled with satisfaction and quickly got dressed.

The suit fit him perfectly, making him look tall and handsome, a far cry from the disheveled look he had in his security guard uniform that morning.

He straightened his tie in front of the mirror, brimming with confidence, then turned and walked out of the room, heading straight for the Wei Group's Shanghai branch.

As he entered the branch office lobby, the receptionist's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing him, and she quickly stood up to greet him: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Find your CEO, Wei Xun."

Shawn Dou's roguish smile drew frequent glances from several female employees around him, who whispered among themselves, "So handsome!" and "Is he a friend of the president?"

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, the female employees' eyes were glued to him, and they even slowed down their work.

Dou Xiao deliberately slowed his pace, held his head high, and enjoyed the attention of everyone as he walked straight towards Wei Xun's temporary office.

Pushing open the door, I saw Wei Xun looking down at documents, his brows furrowed.

"Brother-in-law, take me for a drink!" Dou Xiao plopped down on the sofa, his tone light and cheerful.

Wei Xun raised his eyes, his gaze icy: "How many times have I told you, don't call me that?"

"Hey, you and my sister are betrothed since childhood, there's no way you can escape it." Dou Xiao said nonchalantly, leaning over the desk. "What's wrong with me enjoying some brother-in-law benefits early? I'm here to freeload a meal."

Wei Xun didn't even look up, and pressed the intercom: "Qinglin, order an extra boxed meal tonight."

"What?!" Dou Xiao's eyes widened in shock. "You're just giving me boxed lunches? Brother-in-law, you're so stingy! I'm your future brother-in-law!"

"We have another meeting to attend, so we need to hurry and finish our work by 7:30." Wei Xun's voice was flat, still focused on the documents.

Dou Xiao's eyes darted around, and he grinned mischievously: "Oh, brother-in-law, do you have other plans for your nightlife? Take me with you, I promise I won't tell my sister."

"The boxed lunch will be delivered soon. Eat it and then get out." Wei Xun raised his eyes impatiently, his eyes carrying a warning.

"Forget it, who wants to eat boxed lunches?" Dou Xiao stood up. "I'm going back to the hotel for a big meal."

Before leaving, he added, "Anyway, all my expenses at the hotel will be on your tab, brother-in-law."

"You're such a piece of shit!" Wei Xun picked up the folder on the table and threw it at him.

Dou Xiao reacted quickly and dodged, the folder slamming against the door with a "thud".

"Hey, brother-in-law, you're trying to murder me!" Dou Xiao laughed and fled in panic.

As he escaped the CEO's office, the female employees outside were still secretly observing him. They were all stunned when they saw his disheveled and dodging manner.

Dou Xiao immediately composed himself, straightened his suit jacket, regained his handsome and calm demeanor, and slowly walked towards the elevator.

Before leaving, he winked at several female employees, eliciting a chorus of low gasps.

In the office, Wei Xun looked at the closed door, sighed helplessly, and lowered his head again to work on the documents.

The meeting ended on time at 7:30.

Wei Xun packed his things, walked quickly out of the company, got into his car, and headed straight for the Platinum Hotel.

Around eight o'clock, Wei Xun pushed open the door to the presidential suite.

Nan Yan was sitting upright on the sofa, her back ramrod straight.

On the coffee table in front of him was a small strawberry cream cake, with a corner missing, indicating that a small piece had already been eaten.

Hearing the door open, Nan Yan immediately stood up, instinctively wanting to call out "Master," but then changed her words to, "You're back, sir."

Wei Xun took a bottle of water, unscrewed it, took a sip, and then said, "It's a bit chilly outside. Put on your coat, and I'll take you outside."

Nan Yan pointed to the cake on the coffee table, her eyes sparkling: "Sir, would you like to try this egg...?"

"Hurry up and put on your coat!" Wei Xun interrupted him sharply.

Nan Yan trembled with fright and dared not say another word. She quickly turned around and ran to the second bedroom to get her coat.

Wei Xun watched his flustered back, rubbed his temples with a headache, and his gaze fell on the small cake.

The cake looked ordinary; it was clearly not a high-end dessert found in hotels.

Nan Yan quickly put on her coat and came out, standing to the side with her head down, trying her best to hold back her tears.

Ugh, what a troublesome person.

Wei Xun sighed and asked, "Have you taken a bite of the cake?"

Nan Yan immediately looked up, a happy smile spreading across her face: "Yes! I bought it at the convenience store, it's really delicious! I only had one bite... I wanted to give you some to try too, sir..."

Looking at the pure expectation in his eyes, Wei Xun reluctantly walked over, picked up a small fork, and put a small piece of cake into his mouth.

The taste was very ordinary, the cream was a bit too sweet, and it was far inferior to the imported desserts he usually ate.

But Nan Yan was looking at him expectantly, her eyes wide open, like a little animal waiting for praise.

Wei Xun put down his fork and said, "Alright, I've tasted it, you can eat it."

"Okay!" Nan Yan immediately picked up her fork and began to eat in small bites.

He ate very attentively, not even noticing the cream on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were slightly narrowed, like a little squirrel enjoying a delicious meal, his face full of satisfaction and innocence.

Wei Xun stood aside, watching him like this, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

This boy always seemed to be able to easily shatter his peace and make him become unlike himself.

Nan Yan quickly finished the rest of the cake and even carefully licked the cream off her fork.

"Finished eating?" Wei Xun asked.

"Thank you for the money, sir. I not only had rice balls and milk today, but I also got to eat cake." Nan Yan said with a face full of gratitude.

"Alright, let's go." Wei Xun led the way to the door.

Nan Yan quickly followed.

The driver was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

As the car started, Wei Xun took out his phone, making calls to arrange things while flipping through documents, occasionally issuing a few instructions in a concise and authoritative tone.

Nan Yan sat quietly to the side, not daring to speak or move, only secretly glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

Wei Xun's profile is cold and hard. When he is focused on his work, his expression is particularly serious, with his brows slightly furrowed, giving off a sense of oppressiveness that keeps strangers at bay.

But Nan Yan remembered how he rolled up her sleeves that day, rubbed her hair in the morning, and the expression on his face when he ate the cake just now. She felt that this person wasn't so scary after all.

Nan Yan gradually relaxed, leaned back in her seat, and watched the night view rushing past the window.

The car drove for about forty minutes before finally stopping in front of a private hospital.
