Just like Wang Ruoran, Xu Yisen worried that Qin Muni might misunderstand because a woman was in his office, so he briefly explained Sun Ruru’s visit.

While opening the lunch box, Qin Muni asked, "Did you give it to her?"

"I did."

Qin Muni tilted her head, looked at the delicately handsome Xu Yisen sitting next to her, and flashed a sweet, radiant smile. She mimicked Sun Ruru’s slightly coquettish tone and said, "Chairman Xu, you’re really nice."

Xu Yisen was amused by her sarcastic tone and words, "Mrs. Xu, thank you for the compliment."

"Shameless."

Because Sun Ruru is Shao Chuyan’s cousin, Qin Muni naturally didn’t take her private request for a role from Xu Yisen to heart.

She swiftly changed the topic, "Let’s head back together after lunch. Teng Ye just teased me about how you just got out of the hospital, and I couldn’t wait to work you to earn money for the family."

Her slightly aggrieved words amused Xu Yisen, who chuckled softly and shook his head, "There’s another meeting this afternoon, so I probably can’t leave early."

"Two meetings in one day, does Chairman Xu really think he’s a robot? Just got out of the hospital and already working, and so much work too?"

If Qin Muni’s earlier words were teasing, now she was genuinely expressing her dissatisfaction.

Xu Yisen picked up on her discontent, softened his tone, and comforted, "The workload really isn’t big, just these two meetings all day today. I promise I’ll come home right after the afternoon meeting."

Qin Muni instinctively glanced at his desk, which was piled with documents, likely more than just two meetings.

With just one glance, Qin Muni withdrew her gaze, a subtly graceful smile spread across her face.

She picked up a piece of sushi and held it to Xu Yisen’s lips, and he opened his mouth and ate it.

Watching him chew slowly and methodically, Qin Muni’s smile deepened a bit more. Then she opened her lips, her voice gentle, "Okay, go ahead and work. If your health deteriorates, so be it. Anyway, when you collapse I’ll use the money you earn to keep a young guy. You can watch me get cozy with him from your hospital bed."

Her rebellious words left Xu Yisen both amused and exasperated. He put down his chopsticks and sincerely gazed at Qin Muni, trying to negotiate, "Honey, I’ve been resting for so long, I’m honestly bored. Just let me work for a bit today, okay?"

His tone was cautious, as if worried that the wrong words might anger Qin Muni.

Qin Muni’s smile faded a bit, she picked up another piece of sushi and held it to Xu Yisen’s lips, and he opened his mouth and ate it.

She put down her chopsticks before answering Xu Yisen, "I just hope you can take good care of your health, but since you’re determined to work, I’ll respect your decision."

Qin Muni’s tone was gentle, yet her words subtly conveyed a sense of helplessness regarding Xu Yisen’s decision, leaving him unsure whether she was upset or not.

"Honey, are you mad at me?"

Xu Yisen looked at Qin Muni with a clear and bright gaze, pure as an innocent child.

Qin Muni shook her head, "Not at all, finish eating, and call me after work."

Hearing this, Xu Yisen realized Qin Muni had given her consent, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
