Chapter 2605: Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (123)
A few friends in the circle who knew him well knew that he had been married for a while. They all clamored to see his new wife, but Feng Yunan never thought of bringing Qiao Ruoxi to meet his friends.
Because in his heart, Qiao Ruoxi was not even his wife. She was just a surrogate mother.
If he wanted to bring anyone, it should be Wen Ke’er.
The ward was quiet. Qiao Ruoxi had already put on her coat and tidied her hair. “Mr. Feng, the medicine has been applied. I should go back to work.”
Only now did she remember that it had been two to three hours since she left the store. If she didn’t go back now, the store manager Bao Juhua would be mad at her.
“No going back to work.”
Feng Yunan replied.
“Why not? If I don’t go back soon, I won’t have my full-time job anymore.”
There was a rule in the work system that if one were to skip work for no reason, they would have their pay for a full day’s work and the monthly bonus docked.
“I’ll give you the full pay and bonus. Your time today is all mine.”
…
Feng Yunan’s tone was overbearing.
“Fine.”
No matter what, Feng Yunan was her boss. With his promise, Qiao Ruoxi was not so afraid anymore.
“But I should at least call the manager and report to her.”
“Yes.”
Feng Yunan did not interfere. Qiao Ruoxi took the opportunity to leave the ward and went to the garden on the terrace to make a call.
The air outside was a little cold. It was just nice when it blew on her burning cheeks. It made her feel much more comfortable.
As soon as the call went through, Bao Juhua’s crazy shouting came from the other side.
“Ruoxi, where are you? Why are you taking so long to deliver the goods? Are you going abroad on foot? Don’t take the chance to make a small mistake and come back to work! If you don’t come back soon, I’ll deduct your salary and your full-time salary. You can forget about this month’s bonus too.”
After the woman was done, Qiao Ruoxi said calmly, “Manager, I’ll take a leave from you. I have something on today and can’t go back to work.”
Bao Juhua was furious. “What is it this time? Qiao Ruoxi, why are you the only one who is busy? It’s either your mother is in the hospital or your brother is sick. You’re always on leave every other day. Do you still want to work with this attitude of yours? Let me tell you, a customer just complained about you. You…”
Qiao Ruoxi’s ears hurt from the noise. She took her phone away from her and deliberately shouted, “What? Manager? What did you say? I can’t hear you… The signal is not good. I’m hanging up now!”
After saying that, she directly pressed the hang-up button.
When Feng Yunan saw this scene, he could not help but laugh. He did not expect Qiao Ruoxi to be a little devil, completely different from what he had imagined her to be.
He had initially thought that she was a weak, brainless, and tolerant woman but after interacting with her, he realized that she had a temper and was very smart.
It was already noon by the time Qiao Ruoxi finished her call, and her stomach was growling.
She rubbed her belly and smiled. “Is the baby hungry again? What a greedy little kid.”
As she stood among the flowers, the sun shone on her body. As she spoke gently to the baby in her belly, her body emitted a faint motherly glow.
It was beautiful. It was so beautiful that it moved one’s soul.
He only came back to his senses when his eyes met hers. He cleared his throat and walked towards the restaurant.
Qiao Ruoxi felt a little awkward. She really wanted to know if he had seen her pretending to have bad reception just now.
What would he think of her?
Would he think that she was a chronic liar?
