Unlocking

"Mm..."

"Huff..."

In the group office the next day, Ye Shuang was sitting at his desk looking at documents. However, the document in his hand hadn't been moved for a long time. He had been daydreaming, thinking about things like Chen Qin's pregnancy, Jin Sha, and Chen Hai.

He even started having wild thoughts.

Meanwhile, Kou Kou beside him noticed this. However, she didn't dare to say much and just silently watched. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should show the document in her hand to the boss.

Since becoming Ye Shuang's assistant, Kou Kou's status had also risen. Now, every junior assistant would call her Sister Kou Kou when they saw her. Although Kou Kou thought she hadn't done anything special, she just followed the right person.

At this time, her gaze shifted to An Shiyu beside her. Another assistant was absent today, but it was obvious that An Shiyu had a close relationship with General Manager Ye. After all, the way they behaved was not like that of a president and an assistant, but more like an older brother and a younger sister in a family. An Shiyu was playful, and General Manager Ye always spoiled her.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Shuang noticed his phone vibrating. He pinched the bridge of his nose, put down the document he had long stopped looking at, and picked up his phone to check.

Chen Hai: Wanna come over for some barbecue? I'm grilling them myself. The business is booming.

An Shiyu: "Sure!"

Ye Shuang looked at the back of the head in front of him and smelled the lime shampoo fragrance from her hair. He helplessly said, "Don't rest your head on my thigh."

"Okay." At this time, An Shiyu gave a soft reply and retracted her head.

Then Ye Shuang took his phone and sent a message to Chen Hai.

Ye Shuang: I'm only available tonight. I'm going to see Chen Qin this afternoon.

Chen Hai: You go there every day? You're quite busy with work, aren't you? And the hospital is quite far.

Ye Shuang: Yeah, she's almost due, so I go there to see her every day. The distance isn't a problem. It just takes half an hour more on the road.

Ye Shuang: And don't you go to see her? After all, your sister is about to give birth.

Chen Hai: I'll go when the baby is born. I'm afraid if I go now, I'll make her so angry that she gives birth prematurely. She has a huge grudge against me.

Chen Hai: Helpless.jpg

Ye Shuang: Alright, but you really have to go there once. Otherwise, Chen Qin will remember it.

Chen Hai: I know. Don't worry.

Ye Shuang: I'll go there tonight. Prepare some ice - cold beer.

Chen Hai: Okay.

"Also get some juice," An Shiyu said, peeping at the phone screen. Ye Shuang glanced at her and then silently sent another message to Chen Hai.

Ye Shuang: And a glass of juice. You should have it at your barbecue stand, right?

Chen Hai: Got it.

...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Shuang finished his work early and took An Shiyu to the hospital to visit Chen Qin. Even though Chen Qin said he didn't need to come every day and that work was important, Ye Shuang still thought it would be better to go and see her. After all, Chen Qin must be bored staying in the hospital all day.

"Crunch, crunch." An Shiyu was sitting in the passenger seat, munching on sunflower seeds. Usually, she wouldn't sit in this seat, but when they were alone, she would. And she would also rummage through Bai Yuyou's little stash.

"Where's Xiaoyi?" Ye Shuang asked. After all, he hadn't seen that girl all day. Unlike An Shiyu, she liked to run around and wasn't often in the office.

"You'll see her at dinner," An Shiyu replied expressionlessly.

Ye Shuang: "..."

So I'm the long - term meal ticket, huh?

Forget it. After all, Grandpa An Shi had given him so much money that he could feed his granddaughter for a lifetime.

They arrived at the inpatient department of the hospital. Since it was a private ward, Ye Shuang had to scan his face at the door to verify his identity before he could enter.

Ye Shuang and An Shiyu passed by the nurse station. A few seconds later, Ye Shuang seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. He took a few steps back and his gaze fell on the nurse on duty at the front desk.

Even though her hair was pulled up and she was wearing a nurse's cap, that familiar face made Ye Shuang stunned for a moment. He subconsciously blurted out, "Xiaoyi?"

"Oh, well, what a coincidence," Anshi Yi, who was still looking at her phone, looked up and lazily replied after hearing Ye Shuang's voice.

Ye Shuang: "..."

Is it just a matter of coincidence?

Looking at her in the nurse's uniform, Ye Shuang hesitated for a few seconds and then asked, "How did you get in here?"

"Hey~~~ Your words are so unpleasant. What's wrong with me being a nurse? Am I not allowed to take a part - time job?" Anshi Yi sighed.

"You're really a man full of possessiveness."

"Your part - time jobs are so diverse!" Remembering that Anshi Yi had gone to be a fortune - teller last time, Ye Shuang didn't know how many things this girl could do.

"Ninja..."

"Alright, I know you're amazing," Ye Shuang said and then added, "Okay, I'll go to see Chen Qin first."

Ye Shuang then quickly walked towards Chen Qin's ward, while An Shiyu stayed at the nurse station. She rummaged in her skirt and finally took out a handful of peanuts and handed them to Anshi Yi.

"Here. Bai Yuyou hasn't restocked recently. There are only these peanuts left."

"Remember to remind her. It's not enough for us to eat. How can this be?" Anshi Yi took the peanuts and started crunching on them. The jerky and chocolates in the stash before tasted good. They seemed to be imported.

"Okay," An Shiyu propped her elbows on the nurse station. She first looked in the direction Ye Shuang left and then asked,

"How is she?"

"Nothing serious. She just eats and sleeps," Anshi Yi replied.

"Oh, then you keep an eye on her. I'm going for barbecue tonight," An Shiyu said.

"What about my share?" Anshi Yi seemed quite dissatisfied. She was working here.

There was a VIP patient in the inpatient department. She was also very busy.

"It's okay. Chen Hai has opened a barbecue stand. We'll often drag Uncle Ye there to eat," An Shiyu said.

"Alright."

After a while, Ye Shuang came out of the ward. He looked at Anshi Yi and An Shiyu, and finally his gaze fell on Xiaoyi. "Do you want to go for barbecue with us?"

"If you want your wife to be unattended today," Anshi Yi replied.

"Um..."

"I'll treat you to something delicious next time," Ye Shuang said and then added an exact time. "I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow."

"Or just transfer me 500," Anshi Yi said.

Hearing this, Ye Shuang directly took out his phone and transferred 5,000 to An Shiyu. Then he said, "Please take good care of her for me."

"Wow," Anshi Yi seemed to get a bit excited and immediately saluted.

"Sir, yes!"

"I'm not a madam," Ye Shuang said.

"Transfer me another 500 to unlock a new title," Anshi Yi said.

"You..."
