Being pinched on the nose by him, Su Mo couldn't breathe. She slowly opened her misty eyes and looked at him blankly. Obviously, she hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing her confused look, Xiao Nanye felt his throat tighten. His palm was pressed against her face, and the cold touch completely woke her up.

Su Mo looked at him in shock and stuttered, "You, you're back?"

Su Mo did not avoid it. Xiao Nanye naturally would not be polite. He pinched the soft face in his hand and looked down at the trembling little girl in his arms. He asked her, "The cake?"

Su Mo hurriedly said, "It's for you."

Xiao Nanye lowered his head and gently stroked the obedient girl's black hair. He gently pinched her face and asked her, "Those words written on it, are they your true thoughts?"

Su Mo nodded with a red face. Her chin was held by a palm. She was forced to look up at him. Her gaze accidentally bumped into his vast starry eyes.

"I want to hear you say it yourself."

The bewitching voice seemed to come from the distant sea of stars. Su Mo felt as if her body had suddenly sunk into a ball of cotton, unable to struggle.

Thinking of what Lisa had said during the day, Su Mo gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Nanye, I was wrong. I apologize to you. Don't be angry with me, please?"

The last word, with an ending as soft as the voice of a spoiled child, heavily slammed into Xiao Nanye's heart.

He lowered his head and looked at the cautious expression on Su Mo's face. Something in his heart suddenly softened.

Seeing her eyelashes trembling with her eyes closed, Xiao Nanye's heart trembled. This time, she did not refuse.

However, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him with an innocent expression. She said, "Xiao Nanye, do you want to eat some cake?"

He thought to himself, "This woman really knows how to ruin the atmosphere." Xiao Nanye looked at her helplessly and ruffled her hair. "You cut the cake. I'll go take a shower first."

When Su Mo cut the cake, she saw the words "I will be responsible for you" on the top, and her face became hot again.

When she bought the cake, she specially asked someone to add this sentence to show her sincerity in apologizing. Looking at how Xiao Nanye behaved just now, she thought his anger should have subsided.

She thought to herself, "No matter what, I have attained the expected results, so I could sleep in peace."

When Xiao Nanye came out wrapped in a bath towel, he only saw a small piece of cake on the table alone. On a note next to it, there were a few lines of graceful tiny characters.

"It's too late. You can't eat too much. After eating the cake, rest early. Good night!"

He thought to himself, "We are both living in the same house. Why would she need to leave a note?"

Xiao Nanye came over with the cake and sat on the bed. Looking at the person who wrapped herself in the quilt, he called her in a dissatisfied tone, "Get up."

Su Mo wanted to pretend that she did not hear anything, but she hesitated when she thought of Lisa's words.

She did not want to fail at the last moment, so she opened her eyes and compromised under Xiao Nanye's gaze.

Su Mo had just crawled over with the quilt when she saw Xiao Nanye hand over the fork in his hand. The proud man ordered, "Feed me."

"You are not a child!" Su Mo pouted unhappily, thinking to herself, "Waking me up in the middle of the night wouldn't have been a problem, but you actually let me serve and feed you. Sure enough, you just use me as a maid."

"Or do you want me to skip this step and eat you directly?" When he saw her unhappy face, the corners of Xiao Nanye's mouth curled up, his face full of evil.

When Su Mo heard this, she hurriedly took the fork, forked a small piece of the cake to his mouth, and said, "Open your mouth."

As expected, Xiao Nanye obediently opened his mouth. After chewing twice, he suddenly stopped. He frowned and asked her, "What is it applied on?"

Su Mo said, "It's vanilla cream!"

"I hate the smell of vanilla. Eat the cream on the top for me!" Xiao Nanye looked at her in disgust.

"..."

Su Mo looked at him speechlessly, thinking to herself, "Young Master Xiao, is it really good for you to be so picky about food?"

However, due to the tyrannical abuse of the beast, Su Mo did not dare to resist him and obediently ate the cream on the cake. Even she did not notice that she was using the fork that Xiao Nanye had used before.

Seeing Su Mo obediently help him solve the cream layer, Xiao Nanye was satisfied and very cooperatively finished the remaining half of the cake.

After Xiao Nanye swallowed the last mouthful, Su Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She once again sighed in her heart at her wisdom. Fortunately, she only cut such a small piece for him just now. Otherwise, she would have died of greasiness.

She thought to herself, "Very good. This sincere apology ends here."

Su Mo sat up from the bed and wanted to send the rest of the cake to the kitchen. However, she was suddenly hugged by Xiao Nanye. Before she could react, she was already pressed down in a ball of softness.

Su Mo was actually in the mood to complain at a time like this. She thought to herself, "There are so many women by Xiao Nanye's side, yet he still looks as if his urges are not satisfied."

However, Su Mo was not worried. There was a reason why she dared to be so bold today.

She poked Xiao Nanye's arm with her finger and said, "Well, my period hasn't left yet."

The person on her body froze as if he also remembered that her period had come previously.

Xiao Nanye raised his head and did not miss the cunning look on her face. The expression on the dissatisfied man's face could be said to be tangled. He gritted his teeth and looked at her. "You did it on purpose!"

She naturally dared to do this because she had nothing to fear. She thought to herself, "You want me to be a servant girl and also want me to be a concubine. I also suffer a lot, okay?"

However, she could only think about this in her heart.

"Well, why don't you take a shower and calm down?" She kindly reminded him, hiding her guilty gaze.

"Su! Mo!" Xiao Nanye growled. When he got up and went to the bathroom, he said, "I'll deal with you later!"

"Let's talk about the future later." Thinking to herself, she who had just escaped a disaster was in a very good mood. When Xiao Nanye came out, she had already fallen asleep with the quilt in her arms.

"What a heartless woman." He thought to himself.

Xiao Nanye was both angry and amused. He pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

Today was Su Mo's first day at work, so she was very excited.

When she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Xiao Nanye had already packed up and was sitting downstairs for breakfast.

Another person was sitting in the living room. This was the third time she had seen Ken. When she thought of the previous two times she had seen him, she felt her cheery mood being dampened.

Seeing her coming downstairs, Xiao Nanye gave her a look, "Come and eat."

The breakfast was very rich, but Su Mo had no appetite.

This place was really too remote. In the future, if her work stabilized, it would definitely be inconvenient to live here. Su Mo ate while thinking about how to talk to him about this.

However, Xiao Nanye had a temperamental personality, so Su Mo had never found an opportunity to speak.

After breakfast, Ken and Xiao Nanye went out together.

Su Mo followed behind slowly. She took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Lu Shaoqi. However, when she reached the door, she found that Xiao Nanye's car had not left yet.

The door of the back seat in the car was opened. Xiao Nanye looked at her coldly and said four brief words, "Get in the car."

Su Mo was slightly surprised, but it was not that she did not know what was good for her, so she got into the car.

Because of her previous experiences in the same car with him, Su Mo still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But she was glad that it was not Xiao Nanye who was driving.

When the car reached the highway, the speed was not too fast.

After hesitating for a while, Su Mo decided to speak.

When they reached downtown, the traffic in the city became congested. Seeing that the speed of the car slowed down, Su Mo took the opportunity to say to him, "I have a job now. I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Xiao Nanye opened his eyes and turned to look at her as if he did not understand what she wanted to say.

Su Mo encouraged herself and continued, "The place you live is too far from the city center, and it's not easy to take a taxi. It's very inconvenient to go to and from work. I want to move out to live. Don't misunderstand. I'm not looking for an excuse to break the agreement, but, just..."

Seeing Xiao Nanye's face suddenly darkened, Su Mo immediately fell silent.

When the car arrived at Ling'an Building, Su Mo was still slow to realize that something was wrong. At that time, the atmosphere in the car was too depressing. She just wanted to leave quickly.

However, after she entered the company, she slowly realized that everyone was looking at her strangely.

After Su Mo registered at the front desk, she went upstairs to report to the personnel department.

Liu Yi was naturally very enthusiastic to welcome her. After processing the employment procedures, he let a little girl under him take Su Mo to report to the new department.

This department had just been set up not long ago, and there were very few people. Including Su Mo, there were less than ten people.

After the little girl from the personnel department took Su Mo there, she went back to give her superior an answer. Throughout the morning, Su Mo had been reading the instruction manual and getting familiar with her job duties.

To integrate into this environment faster, Su Mo took the initiative to greet her colleagues around her and got to know each other.

After communication, she learned that most of these people were transferred from the relevant departments of the company. There were also a few designers who had been poached from their peers with high salaries.

Just preparing to open up the jewelry market, the company would spend a lot of money to poach people.

Su Mo was deeply moved by the wealth of the new company. At the same time, she deeply realized that this might be a chance for her to stand out. She must grasp it well.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.

Ling'an Group was fully equipped, and there was an employee restaurant on the first floor of the building which only offered Chinese food.

The food in the canteen was proper, so most people were willing to come to the dining hall to eat, which could save time.

This was the first time Su Mo came to the employees' cafeteria, so she naturally sat with the people from her department. She didn't know if she was being paranoid, but she always felt that many people were peeking at her when she was queuing up.

She thought to herself, "Could it be that all big companies have problems? A newcomer joins the company, and everyone is watching this person like watching a monkey in the zoo?"

Su Mo bit her chopsticks in distress, wondering if she should pack the food back to the office if it was still the same tomorrow.

Seeing her distressed face, a round-faced girl sitting next to her asked her, "Su Mo, why are you frowning? Is the food in the restaurant not delicious?"

"I'm fine."

Su Mo shook her head and thought to herself, "Think about it, when you are eating, you are stared at by so many pairs of eyes. It feels like a lamb being stared at by a pack of hungry wolves. You are not in the mood at all."

She poked the plate in frustration.
