TMLFDN 87



Jiang Yuying, though unsure why her husband wanted her to come to the company and look at those things, understood that it was like a lion opening its territory to invite her to share something that others weren't allowed to touch.

Jiang Yuying would have to be out of her mind to refuse or push him away.

So despite the morning being busy and chaotic, Jiang Yuying didn't say a word. She sat down and worked tirelessly all morning without stopping.

However, Xie Li stopped his work because of Jiang Yuying's words—love her?

Xie Li himself wasn't sure, but subconsciously he felt that what he felt for Jiang Yuying wasn't love, but rather a sense of responsibility and pity.

Actually, Xie Li was somewhat aware that his gaze towards others was somewhat inappropriate. It wasn't the gaze of seeing fellow human beings as equals, but more like the look when playing an online game and looking at NPCs.

Looking at others as completely inferior to himself, Xie Li found it really hard to imagine falling in love with Jiang Yuying. Moreover, before becoming a man, he had lived as a woman for twenty-six years, and after becoming a man, he hadn't even had half a year's worth of time. In such a situation, could he fall in love with a woman who could have been his aunt?

Xie Li subconsciously rejected thinking about this question, but he still had to take responsibility for Jiang Yuying.

After a pause, Xie Li still gently patted Jiang Yuying's back, comforting her until the end of lunch break. After Jiang Yuying's mood had improved considerably, he let her go back to work.

As a very considerate boss, Xie Li had Assistant Gao prepare coffee at two-thirty in the afternoon, with a cup for each person in the secretary's office, including Jiang Yuying.

The employees in the secretary's office naturally knew why the coffee suddenly appeared. They thanked Jiang Yuying one by one with joyful smiles. "Thank you, Sister Jiang."

"Sister Jiang is so kind. She treated us to coffee on the first day."

Jiang Yuying waved her hand and replied, "You're welcome," then took her cup of coffee and continued to work on the piled-up files and cases on her desk.

Assistant Gao was a very observant person, and he quickly walked ahead of Jiang Yuying and arrived at the office door first, knocking on it. After hearing Xie Li's "come in," he opened the door for Jiang Yuying and closed it considerately after she entered.

Xie Li was sitting behind his desk, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Yuying walking towards him in high heels, holding a tray. Xie Li felt a bit embarrassed to have her do this, so he stood up quickly, walked over to her, took the tray, and placed it on the coffee table.

He then sat down on the sofa and took a sip of coffee.

Jiang Yuying, without being overly coy, said, "I brought it over for you."

Xie Li glanced at Jiang Yuying as he drank, and when he put down his cup, he understood. She was making amends for her sulking at lunch and also because... she was too tired and wanted to relax. After all, Jiang Yuying hadn't been this tired in a long time, and she couldn't remember the last time she was this tired. Wanting to take a break was only natural.

Xie Li reached out towards Jiang Yuying, who was sitting opposite him. "Yuying, come over here."

Jiang Yuying's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved, sitting in Xie Li's embrace.

"Let me massage your shoulders."
