Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 1112 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (136)

Since she had already agreed, Heather could only sit down as he instructed. After pouring himself a glass of red wine, Nian Shen also poured her one.

This time, Heather didn’t drink immediately. She stared at the glass, her expression a little hesitant.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter. But this was Nian Shen—the man with a "record." And now, he was her direct boss...

He noticed all her subtle reactions. His lips curled into a faint smile as he said, "Traumatized? Well, having a good memory can be a blessing. Don’t worry, there’s nothing in that. I don’t use the same trick twice."

She knew deep down that he meant her no harm, so she drank.

After a few sips, her throat burned, and she coughed a couple of times.

"Are you sick?"

"Just a minor issue. I’ve been a bit under the weather these past few days—throat inflammation." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Nian Shen frowned and swiftly snatched the glass from her hand just as she was about to continue drinking. "Your throat’s inflamed and you’re still drinking?"

"Isn’t ’the boss always right’?" Heather smiled helplessly.

"..." Nian Shen slammed the glass onto the table forcefully. "This is the kind of thing you’re allowed to disobey! Yet when you *should* listen, you refuse."

He muttered under his breath.

"Take out your ring."

Not understanding his intent, she still obediently retrieved the ring she always carried with her.

Nian Shen had already stood up, heading back to his room. He returned quickly, carrying an exquisite jewelry box. When he opened it, her broken necklace was inside—nearly perfectly repaired. To the naked eye, there was no sign it had ever been damaged.

Taking the ring from her hand, Nian Shen threaded it through the necklace. The ring dangled like a pendant at the end of the chain.

He walked to Heather, towering over her.

She instinctively raised her hand to take the necklace from him to put it on herself, but he stopped her with a low command: "Don’t move."

The firmness in his tone startled her, and she froze. Without moving, she let him lean closer and fasten the necklace around her neck himself. As he straightened, his lips "accidentally" brushed the side of her ear.

Heather shuddered all over, instinctively wanting to pull away from him.

At this moment, she was still only suspicious and didn’t want any intimate contact with him.

But with the closeness between them, her heart was already in chaos.

Before coming here, she had told herself to stay calm, but his proximity had made her lose control.

Nian Shen’s gaze shifted downward, stealing a glance at her. The corner of his mouth twitched up slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, speaking in an entirely matter-of-fact tone. "Make sure not to lose it this time."

"Got it."

She quickly stepped back from him and put some distance between them, repeating, "Got it."

To diffuse the awkward tension in the air, she asked, "Can I take a shower first?"

"Of course."

"Then I’ll head back home to grab a few changes of clothes."

"No need. Go take your shower; I’ll have Yi Yang go to a nearby mall and buy you some new ones."

Before she could even respond, he cut her off: "No arguing. This is a boss’s gift for a new employee."

"..." He really did have an uncanny ability to see through all her thoughts.

"Understood, boss."

"That’s more like it."

Turning away from him, Heather felt slightly uncomfortable. With her back to him, she took a few quiet, deep breaths.

If Qu Leqi overheard the way he spoke to her just now, there was no doubt she’d misunderstand.

This presidential suite had two bathrooms. There was a somewhat larger one in the living room and a relatively smaller one in the master bedroom. Since the master bedroom was where he and Qu Leqi would sleep, it was clear that Heather would use the main bathroom in the living room.
