CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 277: I KNOW YOU’RE PICKY!

Ran Xiangsi’s mood, however, was a bit down. "Just to make a living, I guess. When I was little, I didn’t understand why I had to learn this, I just knew that if I did well, my master wouldn’t get angry."

"Master?" Xie Jiaqi paused his movements while eating, looking at Ran Xiangsi with curiosity. "I didn’t know who your teacher was? That’s incredible!"

"Me... heh heh, that’s a secret!" Ran Xiangsi gave a mischievous smile and deliberately skipped over the topic.

Unbeknownst to them, the sight of the two chatting and laughing was just what greeted Xing Chen, who had hurried over upon hearing the news.

As soon as Ran Xiangsi entered this building, her work badge would open the access control, and naturally, someone would report this to Xing Chen.

Why did she come to the company so late? Xing Chen didn’t think much, put down his work, and came over.

And the result? He walked in and saw Ran Xiangsi and Xie Jiaqi having a heated conversation.

She came to the company this late, and the person she wanted to see wasn’t him?

Ping’an, who followed beside Xing Chen, noticed the displeased expression on his young master’s face and immediately cleared his throat, pretending to cough twice.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Everyone turned towards the door in unison upon hearing the sound.

The previously noisy hall then fell into dead silence.

Everyone put down their lunch boxes, swallowed the food in their mouths, and respectfully addressed him, "President Xing."

Xie Jiaqi, who had been sitting on the table earlier, quickly jumped down and stood off to the side.

Ran Xiangsi also saw that it was Xing Chen, and a sweet smile immediately blossomed on her face.

"President Xing, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I brought you some food!" Saying this, Ran Xiangsi picked up the two lunch boxes she had purposely left on the table and walked towards Xing Chen.

She held them out in front of him as if presenting a treasure.

After all, she was just a young girl experiencing her first love, and seeing the person she adored was more important than anything else.

Xing Chen’s initially abnormal breathing calmed down as he met Ran Xiangsi’s shining eyes, and a certain softness in his heart was touched.

His mood seemed to improve significantly.

He first looked up at everyone and softened his tone a bit. "Everyone, after finishing your meals, go home."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him. "Come with me."

"Alright!" Ran Xiangsi nodded, quickly following Xing Chen’s pace.

The remaining group of programmers looked at each other in puzzlement.

Why did President Xing suddenly show mercy?

He had just told them to work through the night, and now he was letting them go home?

...

Ran Xiangsi followed Xing Chen to the office, and Ping’an sensibly stayed at the door, thoughtfully closing it for the couple.

Ping’an had been by Xing Chen’s side since childhood. How could he not know what his young master was thinking?

Inside.

Without anyone else present, Ran Xiangsi immediately showed her true self.

She placed the lunch boxes on the coffee table and arranged them neatly.

"Mom said you were working overtime, so I knew you probably hadn’t had dinner yet. Look, your food is different from everyone else’s. I know you’re picky!"

Ran Xiangsi hummed as she took out a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xing Chen.

"And this food was personally made by the chef from your favorite restaurant! It hasn’t completely cooled yet, so you should eat it while it’s still warm."

Xing Chen sat dazed on the soft leather sofa, with an exquisite pair of chopsticks in his hands.

Beside him was the girl who could easily stir his emotions.

And in his ears was her endless babbling.
