Chapter 55

"Of course I have something to do. I promised to have dinner at my relative's today!"

"I am busy too!"

"My daughter is going to a tutoring class tonight, and I have to pick her up."

Everyone said that they had something to do. Sheng Xi'an had already expected this. She nodded lightly, and before she could say something, Luo Wei said harshly, "Come on, you have to stay here even if you are busy. The president wants us to clean up together. If anyone is absent and someone tells the president, you could lose your job!"

When those who had just been saying that they had something to do heard this, they all became silent, but the expressions they directed towards Sheng Xi'an was incomparably ugly.

"What are you all arguing about?" Yu Changshun shouted. "Are you working? Do your job!"

Finally, it was lunchtime. Without waiting for Liu Tao to come with her, Sheng Xi'an hurriedly ran out of the cleaning department and went straight to the door of the company.

"Beauty!" Xia Tingfeng sat in a coffee shop next to Fuen. When she saw Sheng Xi'an coming, he smiled and waved at her. "Over here!"

After making sure that no one familiar was around her, Sheng Xi'an sat down and asked, "Why did you choose such a place?"

Xia Tingfeng did not answer the question directly. "You're so slow. I've been here for a long time, and I'm so hungry. Fortunately, yesterday was the start of summer vacation, otherwise, I wouldn't have time to come."

"..." Sheng Xi'an paused for a moment, then she said, "Xia Tingfeng, I've considered it, and I've decided not to prepare any gifts."

"Why not?" Xia Tingfeng looked serious. "But you're here, aren't you? If you don't want to do it, why are you still here?"

"Because I promised you yesterday that I would meet you here. I didn't want to keep you waiting, and I thought it's better to come here and tell you." Although Xia Tingfeng was still a child, she had never really treated him like a child.

"Humph!" Xia Tingfeng snorted discontentedly. "Since you know it's a promise, why did you change your mind? Beauty, you have to keep your promise, do you know that?"

Sheng Xi'an frowned. "It hasn't officially started anyway. I don't want to do it anymore, okay?"

Huo Shaoting, that piece of trash, had been picking on her every single day. It was fine that he only tortured her previously, but today, he had gone too far and involved the whole cleaning department. How could she prepare a gift for him? She wasn't crazy.

No, she was crazy to have promised Xia Tingfeng that she would give that bastard Huo Shaoting a present.

"That won't do." Xia Tingfeng said seriously, "You promised me, and I have also prepared the materials we discussed yesterday. If you change your mind now, the materials would be wasted, and I am still a child. Aren't you afraid that your inconsistency will have a bad influence on me?"

"How could it be that serious?" Sheng Xi'an curled her lips.

"Isn't it?" Xia Tingfeng stroked his chin like a little adult. "Did my uncle bully you again today?"

Sheng Xi'an did not deny it. "More or less."

"Alas, you're really childhood sweethearts. You don't have a deep bond with each other." Xia Tingfeng sighed deeply. "So, just because of this, you have to give him a present!"

Seeing that Sheng Xi'an still wanted to object, he hurriedly said, "A word of a gentleman cannot be taken back! Beauty, please set a good example for me for the sake that I'm still a child." He coughed a little and continued, "Besides, you yourself mentioned yesterday that you've never given my uncle a gift, so don't you regret that at all? The reason why my uncle hates you is probably that he has always remembered this. If you had given him a gift earlier, maybe you two would have had a child long ago..."

Listening to Xia Tingfeng's endless talk, Sheng Xi'an, who didn't sleep well all of last night, finally agreed to continue the gift plan without having a clear mind.

Even though she wanted to punch herself to death later on.
