Gu Ziyou puffed up her cheeks, these endless overtime days made it hard for her to even watch a movie.

"Mr. Shen, don’t you think these long working hours are a bit inhumane? There’s no personal time left!" Gu Ziyou leaned on the shopping cart with her arm, tilting her head to look at him while he was browsing the shelves.

Shen Lingfeng turned around.

"Before you signed the contract, didn’t you say you were available 24/7?" He glanced at her nonchalantly, "Did you really think my salary was that easy to earn?"

Gu Ziyou muttered under her breath, "What a slave-driver..."

"What did you say?"

"I said, in that case, you don’t have any personal time either." She quickly returned to her smiling expression, "Mr. Shen, isn’t there anything else in your life besides work?"

"For example." His gaze returned to the shelves.

"For instance, why don’t you find a girlfriend?" Gu Ziyou’s heart was pounding wildly, surely he didn’t have a girlfriend.

"What’s it to you?"

She was quite taken aback, feeling heartbroken, even though it indeed had nothing to do with her.

When she saw Shen Lingfeng take two cans to put in the cart, her eyes suddenly lit up, forgetting the previous sadness.

"This, do you like this too?" She pointed at the two cans of eel in his hand, "I used to love these when I was a kid, haven’t had them for years, thought they weren’t available anymore."

Shen Lingfeng looked down.

Indeed, these were the canned eels she loved as a child.

She used to bring at least three cans to school every week and even shared them with him, though he didn’t quite like them back then.

Later, studying abroad, whenever he saw the same cans at the supermarket, he would habitually buy some. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Mr. Shen." Gu Ziyou widened her eyes, tugging at his sleeve, "Can we buy a couple more?"

Shen Lingfeng paused for a moment and silently put a few more into the cart.

Her mood instantly revived, feeling like her boss’s image had grown much more admirable in her eyes.

They didn’t spend too long in the supermarket, and Shen Lingfeng moved swiftly.

After checking out, Gu Ziyou was just about to pick up the two loaded shopping bags.

Two arms naturally reached over and took the shopping bags away before she could.

Gu Ziyou was momentarily stunned, he’s carrying them himself? Then what’s she here for?

She didn’t say anything but looked up at him.

"Mr. Shen, I don’t need to carry them?"

He didn’t answer, but Gu Ziyou understood the implication.

He probably didn’t want to appear ungentlemanly; with so many things, if he left her, a girl, to carry everything, what would people around think of her?

After loading the car with the purchased items, Gu Ziyou clasped her hands behind her back, "Mr. Shen, it’s mealtime now... there shouldn’t be any work, right?"

Shen Lingfeng lifted his head, lips pressed tightly together.

Was she starting to find an excuse to leave?

"Why don’t we just eat here?" Gu Ziyou suggested, pointing upstairs with her hand, "I just think, Mr. Shen, you work too hard, and eating too late isn’t good. Besides, there are so many good things to eat here."

There was a great Japanese food place here, though a bit pricey.

A bit pricey for her currently, but since her current job covered meals, she wouldn’t stand on ceremony.

Shen Lingfeng was slightly surprised, but his expression didn’t change, "What is there to eat here?"

"Mr. Shen, do you like Japanese cuisine?" Gu Ziyou asked with a little scheme in mind.
