“On what grounds!” Ning Xiaofei instinctively retorted.

There was no taking it back, and the man already bit on her earlobe, whispering vaguely, “When I say no, I mean no!”

His bite was light, yet it sent shivers through her heart, and her whole person fell into a pool of softness.

Ning Xiaofei craned her neck, “I...I have to work tomorrow morning.”

It was already the latter half of the night, and if they don’t sleep, the sky would soon be bright.

The man reached over to turn on the lamp and looked at her worriedly, “Another slip of the tongue?”

“Oh no, the plan, I haven’t written it yet!”

With that, she lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed.

As soon as she moved out of the bed, he was pulled back by Mu Tianye.

"What are you going to write, sleep!"

It’s already 2:00 a.m. Will she be able to sleep if she keeps writing?

“No, it’s for the meeting tomorrow.” Ning Xiaofei struggled to sit up from his arms, “Sleep on your own. I’ll sort out the outline I prepared earlier, it will be ready soon.”

“Wait!” Getting up and wrapping the blanket around her, Mu Tianye got up and got out of bed. He walked to the door and turned his face to her again, “Sit there and don’t move or you won’t be able to make the shift tomorrow.”

With that said, the man strutted down the stairs.

A moment later, he came carrying her backpack in his hand. He then stuffed it onto Ning Xiaofei’s hand.

“You let me work in bed?”

“Aren’t you cold?”

“But...I’ll disturb your rest?”

“I can’t sleep without you anyway.”

The man reached over and grabbed a pillow and put it upright behind her back. He reached to pull the covers up and wrap them under her armpits, which was before he took the computer out of her bag and opened it to place it on her lap.

Seeing that her phone was dead, he rummaged through her bag and found no charger. He mumbled a curse and left in stride. A moment later pulled a power cable back and helped her plug in the power.

Raising his face to see Ning Xiaofei looking at him dumbfounded, the man gently raised his eyebrows.

"What are you looking at, work!"

“I haven’t seen a handsome guy before, can’t I look closely?”

Ning Xiaofei laughed and flirted, then she grabbed her own bag and flipped through it to find the gift box. When she saw the corner of the gift box flattened, she carefully sorted it out before it was delivered to him.

“This is for you.”

“What is it?”

“A gift.” With both hands, she sent the small gift box to Mu Tianye. Ning Xiaofei opened her mouth squarely, “This time, I didn’t lie to you, I really had prepared a gift for you.”

Turns out, she really bought him a gift.

Reaching out to take the small gift box from her hand, which had already fallen a bit crumpled, Mu Tianye slowly untied the silk ribbon on it. Ning Xiao Fei then nervously clenched her fingers, fearing that he would be disappointed when he saw the gift.

Unpacking the box and seeing the pair of socks with the sale price tag on the box inside, Mu Tianye’s fingers gently stroked the box. When he looked up, he saw her nervously twiddling her thumbs and peeking at him.

Noticing the crumpled receipt that fell out of the quilt, Ning Xiaofei hurriedly reached over the palm of her hand and quietly pinched the ticket into her hand. She was just about to hide it but was seen by Mu Tianye’s sharp eyes and snatched it into his hand.

Swiping at the payment record above, the man’s long brow furrowed.

The small receipt stated clearly that the socks were 134 yuan, but the bill was paid twice, once in cash for 100 yuan and once with a credit card for 34 yuan.

Who would pay a bill like that?

The only explanation is that she didn’t have enough money in her card and not enough cash to scrape together the money to pay like that.
