After leaving the apartment, Yao Nian was disgusted by the smell of barbecue clinging to her, and she hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.
Shen Du went to the kitchen and took the soaked fish gelatin out of the refrigerator. He placed it in a pot along with red dates, ginger slices, and dried longan to simmer. After setting the timer, he knocked on the bathroom door to remind her, "Remember not to get your face wet."
Yao Nian ignored him, thinking it was just background noise. How could she not wash her face when she had already applied powder? Not only did she get her face wet, but she also used facial cleanser to scrub it. The end result was that after washing her face, it looked as if she had just come down from Emei Mountain.
With a serious expression, Yao Nian walked into the kitchen and stood behind Shen Du, lamenting, "I’m not worthy of you anymore."
Shen Du was testing the sweetness of the broth when he turned around and accidentally dropped the ladle back into the pot with a clatter.
On the sofa, Yao Nian rested her head on Shen Du's lap, feeling the coldness on her face. She let out a small sound and instinctively moved away.
"Don't move around," Shen Du said as he held an ice pack made of ice cubes against her face. "I told you not to get your face wet. Can't you just listen?"
The girl pouted, looking at him with pitiful eyes. "I've ruined my looks, and you still blame me."
"Alright, alright, I won't mention it," Shen Du sighed helplessly and eased his grip. "But really, how come you don't know to avoid it?"
"Avoid what? I want him to feel guilty."
Shen Du's gaze darkened slightly as he fell silent for a moment before saying, "I'll find a time to have a serious talk with President Yao."
Shen Du's biological clock was as reliable as ever; he woke up at seven o'clock sharp. The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to check Yao Nian's face. If it was still this red today, he would take her to the hospital. Fortunately, after a night’s rest, the redness on the young girl’s face had faded completely.
As Shen Du got up and prepared to leave the bed, Yao Nian wrapped her arms around him like a white lotus root and squinted at him with sleepy eyes. "What time is it?"
"It's still early," Shen Du said as he rubbed her head. "Go back to sleep; I'll wake you when breakfast is ready."
Yao Nian rested her head on his lap and yawned. "What are we having?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Sandwiches."
Shen Du chuckled. "Aren't you tired of them?"
Yao Nian stretched lazily and was the first to get out of bed, indicating that she was a devoted person. The law firm had an early meeting today, and after the two of them finished breakfast, they quickly headed out without wasting much time at home.
Perhaps to maintain a professional image, Shen Du always dressed formally during work hours, wearing a shirt, tie, and black trousers. In contrast, Yao Nian appeared much more casual. As summer approached in Shanghai, she chose a white sundress that showcased her fair and slender legs, pairing it with a light gray cardigan. Altogether, she looked relaxed and fresh.
Since they got together, Yao Nian had hardly visited Xincheng Law Firm. Therefore, when Shen Du brought her in today, it stirred quite a commotion within the office. On the surface, everyone acted calm and greeted him as usual, but behind the scenes, the receptionist was typing furiously on her phone.
【Breaking Gossip! Shen Du brought a girl to the office today!】
【What's the big deal? She might just be a client.】
【Are you holding hands with your clients?】
【!!! They’re holding hands?! Is she pretty? Send photos!】
【Incredibly beautiful, and she looks really young!】
【I’m rushing over right now!】
Once they entered the office, Shen Du turned on the air conditioning and tidied up the materials on his desk before inviting Yao Nian to sit in his chair and review.
