Just as Ji Yi was pondering whether to politely tell He Jichen: "Give me the room key, I'll enter my room alone," He Jichen stopped He opened the room himself with a swipe of the card

Ji Yi instinctively replaced what she was going to say with a "Thank you" However, before she could reach her hand out to take the room key from He Jichen, He Jichen suddenly said, "Chen Bai said that since it's holiday season, this is the only room left"

This is the only roo I'll be alone in a rooht?

He Jichen pushed the door open and walked in as though he hadn't seen her reaction

He turned on the lights and casually placed his laptop on the desk When he reached his hand out to loosen his necktie, his fingers suddenly tre at the door

He knew that despite how uneasy she felt, she was really overthinking things because he'd never make the same mistake twice

He knew she didn't trust hi would happen between them which hy she was hesitant to coently pursed his botto As he continued to loosen his tie, he proceeded to add, "But fortunately, it's a suite, so you can sleep in the bedrooe in the living roo what He Jichen said, Ji Yi let out an "Oh!" She stood at the door for a few more seconds then finally stepped into the room

The second the doors closed, He Jichen saw her fraently

He looked away from her and walked over to the counter of his own accord He boiled some water and made a cup of hot milk and cup of hot tea

He handed her the milk "It's really late Drink a cup of hot ht's sleep You still have your shoot tolanced up at hiave a nod and let out a soft "Mlanced at hilied in his throat, stifling his breathing

If this was before, he would've felt unfairly treated to see her resist hiht for his self-respect back and he would've used harsh words to mask his embarrassment, but now, all he did was lower his eyes He chose to turn a blind eye and headed back to the desk

As he opened his laptop, He Jichen glanced over at Ji Yi every now and then using his peripheral vision

She sat poised on the sofa; he could tell her back was stiff

Did what I just said not help her feel at ease?

He'd be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed, but he also didn't have the heart to see her like this He Jichen turned on the laptop and stared at the screen for about ten seconds then picked up his phone and called Chen Bai

The phone was quickly picked up "Mr He, are you satisfied with the arrangeht?" asked Chen Bai in a voice that sounded like he was fishing for praise

"Contact all the high executives to start a video conference in five minutes time," replied He Jichen flatly

"No way? Mr He, didn't you say you'd give ht is short and time is precious"
