A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"On business trip?"

Lu Yang looked at Li Xixue with a puzzled expression.

It is perfectly normal to bring an accompanying employee when traveling on business.

But the problem is...

Why bring yourself?

After all, he was just a newcomer. There were a lot of experienced analysts and project managers in the company, but instead they skipped everyone and directly took on an intern?

"Don't misunderstand."

Li Xixue shifted her position while holding the hot water bottle, leaning against the sofa armrest and crossing her legs. She quickly said, "You did quite well with Sun Wenbo last time, your analysis was quite detailed, and it will come in handy this time."

"Yes, I only value you."

Li Xixue brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and emphasized, "So the reason I'm asking you to come with me is purely for work purposes. Please don't overthink it."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

The more she tried to stop herself from thinking about it, the more he thought about it.

At this moment, Li Xixue had buried her face back in the cushion, only revealing a small section of her forehead and loose hair.

at this time.

A familiar system voice popped into Lu Yang's mind.

[Ding! Your boss needs you to accompany them on a business trip. Please agree and fulfill their request to demonstrate your value and gain their approval!]

[The required number of missions has been reached; completing this mission will trigger an additional reward.]

At the same time, noticing that Lu Yang was staring at her, Li Xixue's face peeked out a little.

In the end, she haughtily retorted, "Fine, go or don't go, it's up to you."

"Wow!"

Lu Yang replied with just two words.

Li Xixue peeked half her face out from under the cushion and glanced at him sideways.

He was hesitant just now, but now he's agreeing quickly.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Since you've already asked, how could I say no? Besides, with a relationship... what reason is there not to go?"

I almost let it slip.

Li Xixue frowned, feeling that this guy was just giving her the runaround.

Never mind.

Since you've agreed, that's settled.

As for why he asked Lu Yang to accompany him...

She didn't really understand either.

Perhaps it's because Lu Yang is a very capable newcomer.

After all, I still value talent.

The hot water bottle cooled down a bit, so she changed her position and wrapped the blanket tighter around herself.

"When exactly are you leaving?" Lu Yang asked.

"Let's wait a couple of days."

"Where are you staying?"

"The hotel was booked by the company."

"One room or two rooms?"

Li Xixue's gaze changed: "What do you think?"

"Two rooms, two rooms, I was just kidding," Lu Yang quickly added.

Li Xixue snorted and buried her face back into the cushion.

She suddenly regretted her decision to bring Lu Yang along.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yang took a shower. When he came out, the temperature of the hot water bottle on Li Xixue's stomach had gradually dropped. She adjusted her posture and reached out to pull over the laptop next to her.

Can't this woman just rest for a while?

Lu Yang couldn't help but complain, "Even in this state, you're still thinking about work?"

As expected, Li Xixue had only typed a few lines when her fingers suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed, and she shrank back against the sofa, her hand instinctively pressing back to her lower abdomen.

Lu Yang said, "Still putting on a brave face?"

Li Xixue didn't want to talk to him, but forced herself to continue typing on the laptop.

Lu Yang walked up to her and closed the computer screen.

What are you doing?

Li Xixue raised her snow-white chin, intending to turn the computer back on.

Lu Yang said firmly, "We'll do this tomorrow."

"This is tomorrow's schedule; it's not confirmed today..."

"The sky won't fall down."

"..."

Li Xixue glared at him, but before that aura could last two seconds, her stomach hurt again, and she curled up back down, taking a deep breath.

pain.

Lu Yang sighed, then took the cooled hot water bottle to the kitchen to refill it.

"No."

Li Xixue shook her head, wanting to refuse.

Lu Yang frowned and said seriously, "If you don't take it, I'll leave it here and change it when it gets cold."

Li Xixue was stunned for a while, then pouted and whispered, "Why are you being so fierce?"

Despite saying that, she still put Lu Yang's hot water bottle back into her stomach.

It's still more comfortable this way.

Lu Yang then asked, "Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Li Xixue replied with two concise and to-the-point words.

The voice just fell.

goo—

An unpleasant sound came from her stomach.

Li Xixue's expression froze for a moment, embarrassed.

She was about to explain when Lu Yang ignored her and turned to go to the kitchen.

This woman is not only stubborn, but also arrogant.

There's not much left in the refrigerator.

Lu Yang glanced around and found an egg, half a cabbage, a handful of noodles, and two carrots.

Considering her current condition, something too greasy definitely won't work.

Let's keep it simple then.

Lu Yang boiled a pot of water, cooked noodles, then chopped cabbage and threw it in, shredded carrots and threw them in as well, and finally cracked two eggs in.

I didn't add too much seasoning, just a little salt and a few drops of sesame oil.

A few minutes later.

Two steaming bowls of noodles were served.

Looking at the two bowls of noodles, Li Xixue couldn't help but swallow, and her stomach growled again.

The sound was even louder this time than last time.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Didn't you say you weren't hungry?"

"Then watch me eat." Lu Yang picked up his bowl, sat down next to him, and started slurping noodles.

It's just ordinary noodles, nothing special in terms of cooking skills, but it's hot.

Li Xixue remained lying on her side with her eyes half-closed and the hot water bottle pressed against her stomach.

The aroma of noodles wafted over little by little.

She struggled for a moment, but finally managed to sit up, propping herself up on the sofa.

After sitting up, she tidied her disheveled hair, then brought over the bowl of noodles and picked up her chopsticks.

"I just don't want to waste it, um, I just don't want to waste it, I'm doing this to help you."

Lu Yang hummed in agreement, looking like he saw right through her but wouldn't say anything, as if to say, "Keep being arrogant."

Li Xixue ate very slowly, taking small bites, and occasionally choking on the heat, then stopping to catch her breath.

Soon, all the noodles were gone.

Li Xixue put down her chopsticks and felt much better instantly.

"Is it delicious?" Lu Yang asked.

"It doesn't taste good." Li Xixue shook her head.

"Then why are you eating so much?" Lu Yang laughed.

"I……"

Li Xixue was speechless; this time, she really couldn't find an excuse.

Lu Yang didn't argue with her. He collected the bowls and took them to the kitchen to wash.

After washing up, Li Xixue was seen carrying her computer and continuing to type on the keyboard.

Perhaps because she was full and because of the brown sugar water Lu Yang made, she felt much better than before.

"Are you addicted?"

Lu Yang wiped his hands as he walked out, completely impressed by her.

Without looking up, Li Xixue continued typing: "This email is needed for tomorrow's meeting."

Lu Yang didn't close her computer again.

Ultimately, this woman manages a company worth tens of billions, and there are some things that really can't be delayed.
