Chapter 38 So Sweet

[Yaoyao, I heard that Yang Yuan was injured and hospitalized. I’m not fully recovered yet, so I can’t go over. Can you visit him in my stead]

Ning Yao did not expect Clarence to be so brutal to beat Yang Yuan up so badly that he broke his bones and was hospitalized.

But she didn’t want to look at Yang Yuan, so she replied (I don’t want to go.]

Ning Wen felt helpless at Ning Yao’s response.

[I know you don’t like him, but he was injured and hospitalized, it would be too unkind for us not to go and see him. Yang Yuan’s grandfather had helped our parents back then, and when our parents died, it was Yang Yuan’s grandfather who came forward to help us again so that our company would not be taken away by others.”

[Alright, alright, I know. You don’t have to repeat it to me. I’ll go see him, okay? However, I’ll leave right after. I don’t want to talk to Yang Yuan.)

Ning Yao recalled that Yang Yuan’s grandfather had indeed helped the Ning family in the past, so she reluctantly agreed to visit Yang Yuan. [Alright, be nice, alright?]

[Yes, yes.)

Ning Yao sighed. Her mood turned sour at the thought of having to visit Yang Yuan.

That guy was beaten up by Clarence for harassing her, and now she had to go see him. She might not be able to hold back and give him two more punches.

Ning Yao was playing with her phone for a while longer when she heard someone knocking on the door. She ran over to open the door and finally, it was Clarence who was standing before her.

There was a small box in his left hand and a drink in his right.

“Are you hungry?” Clarence put down the box, and Ning Yao realized that there was a very delicate cake in there while the milk tea was in her favorite flavor – strawberry cream.

How did he know that she was hungry? How did he know that she liked strawberries?

Ning Yao was both surprised and happy. “Are these for me?”

“Who else, then?” Clarence looked at her with a smile as his eyes appeared gentle and loving

Ning Yao took a bite of the cake. “It’s delicious! Mr. He, do you want to try some?”

“Alright.” After saying that, he bent down slightly and looked at Ning Yao, then slowly opened his mouth.

Ning Yao was speechless. She didn’t say she was going to feed him. There was a spoon next to him!

She blushed when she saw that Clarence was waiting for her to feed him the cake. She took another spoon and put a small piece of cake into his mouth.

“Yeah, it’s so sweet,” said Clarence as he squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

It was so sweet that he felt it in his heart.

Ning Yao didn’t expect Clarence to like sweet things. She didn’t even notice it before.

After eating the cake, Ning Yao took two sips of milk tea and felt her waist tighten.

After all, the dress was very tight. If she ate too much, she would have a belly, so she did not drink any more milk tea.

“You don’t like it?” Clarence was assigning tasks to his subordinates in the group chat when he that Ning Yao had stopped drinking.

“No… It’s just, it’s just that I can’t drink anymore.” Ning Yao was too embarrassed to say that it was because her dress was too tight, so she could only explain it this way.

“Oh, I see. Do girls have such a small appetite?” After saying that, Clarence stretched out his arm and took the milk tea that was in front of Ning Yao before taking a sip from it. “It is a little too sweet. I’ll get you something less sugary for you next time.”

Clarence had acted so naturally that Ning Yao didn’t know whether she should remind Clarence that she had already taken a sip out of the drink.

After taking two more sips of the milk tea, Clarence returned to texting his subordinates more instructions. Ning Yao had no choice but to swallow her words.

‘It must have been an accident. Forget it, I’ll just pretend I don’t know.’

From the corner of his eyes, he could tell that Ning Yao had been looking at the milk tea despite her lowered head.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve up.

After Clarence finished making the necessary arrangements for work, there was another knock on the door.

Just as Ning Yao was about to open the door, Clarence had already walked over and brought in a few men in suits.

The men did not expect a woman in the room. They immediately misunderstood the relationship between Ning Yao and Clarence, feeling a little embarrassed.

“This is my secretary. From today on, she will be in charge of Glory World’s independent project in Donghe Restaurant.”

Donghe Restaurant?

Ning Yao was stunned.

‘Isn’t that the project that Clarence had shown me earlier?’ Why was this project suddenly handed over to her?

The few of them looked at each other. After a long time, one of them said awkwardly, “Then, President Mei…”

“I’ll tell him. If you need anything in the future, you can just look for Ning Yao.”

“Okay, Mr. He.”

After that, Clarence asked Ning Yao to form a group chat with these people and explained some details to them before letting them leave.

She felt like she was in a dream when she heard that Clarence had suddenly put her as the person in charge of this project.
