Chapter 159: Hide Quickly

Chapter 159: Hide Quickly

Shu Lingxiao had indeed been working a lot of overtime lately.

As for the reason, it was half personal and half professional.

Ever since she agreed to “try” with Shao Shiyan, the young Vice Chairman of the Shao Group had completely transformed into a clingy person.

Shu Lingxiao was busy with work, and he wasn’t idle either, but he still actively adjusted his schedule, trying every possible way to find time to date her.

So, he would unfailingly bring her dinner to the procuratorate every day.

“It’s not good for you to come here every day like this.”

Shu Lingxiao frowned, looking at Shao Shiyan, who had once again appeared at the door of her office with a food container.

Shao Shiyan smiled innocently, “Sister, I’m working overtime too, so we can eat together.”

Shu Lingxiao clicked her tongue softly, watching him set the food on the coffee table in the office, which was a tacit agreement.

Once there was a first time, there was a second and a third.

Later, Shao Shiyan simply brought his laptop, ostensibly to “save time,” but in reality, he was finding all sorts of reasons to stick by her side.

Shu Lingxiao was worried about being discovered, so she instructed him to come half an hour after work, and to make sure he wasn’t seen before entering her office.

It was as if they were having an affair.

As time went on, she got used to having another person in the office.

This Friday, the two of them agreed to have dinner together and then go to a movie.

Originally, Shu Lingxiao didn’t have much work scheduled for the afternoon, but an urgent document came in, and she had to work overtime again.

As usual, Shao Shiyan arrived half an hour later.

Seeing that Shu Lingxiao was still working, he didn’t disturb her and sat beside her, watching her work.

Ah, the way my sister works is so beautiful.

Shu Lingxiao occasionally looked up, meeting Shao Shiyan’s gaze, and instinctively returned a look warning him to restrain himself.

Then, she lowered her head and sped up the progress of her work.

Almost done, almost done.

Just as she was about to finish her work, the office door was suddenly knocked on.

The usually calm Shu Lingxiao suddenly felt a jump in her heart, and reflexively grabbed Shao Shiyan’s arm, whispering:

“Quick, hide!”

She couldn’t let her colleagues see Shao Shiyan in her office.

Before Shao Shiyan could react, she pushed him under the desk.

“Come in.” Shu Lingxiao quickly adjusted her expression, restoring her usual calm and self-possession.

Someone pushed the door open and entered.

It was her assistant.

She remembered telling the assistant not to work overtime today and to leave after work.

Why was she still here?

The assistant said that she had finished the report for Monday by working overtime, so she wanted Shu Lingxiao to take a look at it in advance.

Shu Lingxiao knew that this was the assistant deliberately trying to show off in front of her, but she didn’t point it out and took the document.

While looking through it, Shu Lingxiao glanced at Shao Shiyan under the desk.

He was looking up at her, his eyes bright and wet.

Like a little puppy wagging its tail and begging for a hug.

Her breath caught, and she couldn’t help but swallow, as if she could feel the warm, humid breath of an Omega brushing against her knees.

This made her ears burn slightly.

“Shu, are you alright? Are you too tired?” The assistant noticed that she was distracted and asked with concern.

“I am a little tired.” Shu Lingxiao quickly recovered her senses, her expression unchanged, “Leave the report here, I’ll read it slowly. Go back and rest early.”

As soon as the assistant left and the door closed, Shu Lingxiao’s chair slid back abruptly.

Her breathing was a little rapid, and without thinking much, she leaned over, lifted Shao Shiyan’s chin, and kissed him directly.

Shao Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes, grabbed the back of her head, and took the initiative.

When the kiss ended, both of them were breathing raggedly.

Shu Lingxiao pushed him away, pretending to be calm:

“…Don’t come here anymore, it really affects my work.”

Shao Shiyan licked his lips, looking innocent:

“Sister, can I really affect your work that much?”

Shu Lingxiao turned her face away, not saying anything.

Since then, Shu Lingxiao’s “overtime” increased.

The colleagues at the procuratorate sighed, saying that the newly appointed Deputy Procurator Shu was really dedicated, a total workaholic.

But they didn’t know that there was a “disturbing factor” hidden in her office.

Every time after a thrilling encounter, Shu Lingxiao would glare at him, her ears red.

But the next time, she would still tacitly allow him to enter.

Shao Shiyan knew that his Deputy Procurator was actually enjoying this exciting and sweet “overtime” time.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the two had been secretly dating like this for two months.

Shao Shiyan really wanted to go public, but Shu Lingxiao always said to wait a little longer.

So he let her have her way.

This weekend, Shu Lingxiao didn’t work overtime.

Shao Shiyan was away on a business trip, and she stayed at home with Shu Jingcheng, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

As a result, at a little after four in the afternoon, Shu Lingxiao suddenly received a call from Shao Bingheng, saying that he wanted to invite her to dinner and had something to discuss.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Lingxiao was a little absent-minded.

This was a little unusual.

She had eaten with the Shao family many times, but this was the first time Shao Bingheng had invited her out to dinner alone.

“What’s wrong?” Shu Jingcheng handed her a cup of tea, asking.

“Oh, Uncle Shao said he’s inviting me to dinner tonight.” Shu Lingxiao took the teacup and replied.

Shu Jingcheng was surprised, “He’s inviting you alone? What could it be about?”

“I don’t know.” Shu Lingxiao shook her head, vaguely guessing in her heart, but not daring to be sure.

The dinner was set at a Chinese restaurant with excellent privacy.

When Shu Lingxiao pushed open the door to the private room, Shao Bingheng was already waiting there.

Seeing her come in, he immediately got up to greet her: “Lingxiao is here? Come, sit, sit.”

Shu Lingxiao responded politely and sat down opposite him.

The dishes were served quickly, all to her liking.

During the meal, Shao Bingheng only chatted about family matters, asking her if her work was going smoothly and how her father’s health was recently.

It wasn’t until the after-dinner tea and snacks were served that he put down his teacup and got down to business:

“Lingxiao, actually, I invited you here today because there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Shu Lingxiao looked up at him, her fingers instinctively tightening around the teacup.

“I know about you and Shiyan.”

Shu Lingxiao’s expression was fairly calm, and she subconsciously wanted to explain, but Shao Bingheng waved his hand.

“That kid has been running to the procuratorate every day for the past two months, thinking he’s hiding it well.”

Shao Bingheng smiled, “I invited you here today to tell you not to worry, I approve.”

Shu Lingxiao’s hand holding the cup paused, her ears burning.

“Shiyan this child…” Shao Bingheng sighed, “I know, he’s not good enough for you.”

“Uncle Shao…”

“But he can’t help but like you.” Shao Bingheng’s eyes were gentle, “He’s always only liked you, I can see that, he’s sincere.”

Shu Lingxiao lowered her eyes, the tea reflecting her slightly flushed face.

“Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with you.” Shao Bingheng said solemnly, “As Shiyan’s father, what I want to tell you is that the Shao family will never let you be wronged.”

On the way back, Shu Lingxiao kept thinking about Shao Bingheng’s words.

Remembering Shao Bingheng’s phrase “can’t help but like,” the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.

After returning home, she remembered to tell Shao Shiyan, so she sent him a message.

[Your dad looked for me today.]

Almost immediately, a video call came in.

Shao Shiyan on the other side of the screen looked nervous: “What did my dad want from you? Did he give you trouble?”

Looking at his anxious appearance, Shu Lingxiao suddenly smiled:

“No, he said… he approves of us dating.”

Shao Shiyan was stunned for two seconds, then said excitedly:

“Sister, then can we go public? Can we?”

Shu Lingxiao’s expression became serious again.

Not yet, she had to consider Shu Lin’s feelings and situation.

As a result, the next day, Shu Lin looked for her, also saying that he had something to discuss with her.
