110. Sleep

　　Qin Xinmei and I reunited, and I wondered how she felt about regaining what she had lost. On the other hand, I felt more at peace. Perhaps it was the attachment between mother and child, but more importantly, it was the love I felt for Qin Xinmei.

　　Qin Xinmei leaned against the desk, her legs straight and slender in her black trousers. No matter which angle you looked at them, the curve of her legs made her look very tall. A pair of black high-heeled feet stepped on the floor, and her cold and fair face showed a hint of amusement: "I'm a little curious. You're with me every day, and suddenly you're asking Mom for your salary. Why is that? Tell me about it?"

　　"Mom, my sister and I have birthdays in a few days. I'm asking you for money to buy a birthday present for my sister." I walked around the armchair, smiled slyly, took a step forward, and quickly hugged Qin Xinmei's delicate body with both hands. I reached into her slender waist, sniffed the elegant fragrance, and deliberately took a deep breath with a satisfied expression.

　　Qin Xinmei's face changed slightly, and her high-heeled feet stomped on the floor twice in panic. She glanced anxiously at the office door, tugged my ear with her jade hand, and whispered a warning: "Your sister and aunt will come to the company later. Behave yourself."

　　It was obvious that Qin Xinmei knew that I was going to act up again when I hugged her. Although she was angry in her heart, her cold and fair face remained calm.

　　"Huh, my sister and aunt are coming to the company?" I was a little stunned, and my embrace around Qin Xinmei's slender waist suddenly loosened. However, I felt a little suspicious. Then I hugged Qin Xinmei's delicate body tightly again, and raised my eyebrows: "Mom, are you kidding me? My sister never comes to the company. She's either sleeping or shopping with her classmates. She lives a very comfortable life. Why is she coming back to the company?"

　　"Chen Qing, when has Mom ever lied to you?" Qin Xinmei saw my expression filled with suspicion and gritted her teeth. She reached out and grabbed the phone on the desk, opened a message and dangled it in front of me. She asked in confusion, "I find it strange too. Siting rarely comes to the company. When she was on vacation, I wanted to ask her to come to the company to study, but she resisted. But today, she came here with her aunt."

　　I stared at the message on the phone in Qin Xinmei's delicate hand. It was indeed sent by Chen Siting. The corners of my mouth twitched, and I reluctantly let go of Qin Xinmei's waist. I frowned and wondered what was going on when Chen Siting and her sister-in-law came to the company.

　　Qin Xinmei glanced at me and just as she took a step away from me, about to put her phone on the desk, the screen suddenly lit up. Qin Xinmei put the phone to her ear and said softly, "Chen Qing and I are still in the office. If you arrive, please wait for me in the cafeteria. We'll have dinner together later."

　　I asked in confusion: "Are my sister and sister-in-law here?"

　　"They will arrive at the company in ten minutes. They said they would go shopping after dinner." Qin Xinmei nodded, glanced at me, lifted the hair on her forehead with her delicate hand, then kicked me, walked to the gray sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, and sat down gracefully with her long beautiful legs.

　　I ran over with some dissatisfaction, wondering: "Mom, why did you kick me just now?"

　　Qin Xinmei held her phone, tapping the screen rapidly. She glanced at me and said calmly, "I'm happy." I was a little confused. What did she mean by kicking me? I glanced at Qin Xinmei with some dissatisfaction, then sat down next to her, holding my chin and wondering what Chen Siting was doing in the company.

　　Just now Qin Xinmei said that Chen Siting and her aunt came to the company for dinner and then went shopping. I thought about it and this explanation makes sense. Maybe her aunt asked her to bring her to see the company.

　　"Chen Qing, how much money do you want? Cash or bank transfer?" Qin Xinmei put down her phone and looked at me with her cold and fair face.

　　I came to my senses and realized that I had just said it casually. I didn't really want the money. After all, there was still a large sum of money in the card. But I thought it would be better not to touch it for now, as it might be useful in the future.

　　"Mom, it doesn't need to be much, just transfer 10,000 to me."

　　I thought about it and decided to leave the balance in my card untouched. I decided to ask Qin Xinmei for 10,000 yuan to buy Chen Siting a birthday present. After she discovered the kissing photo of Qin Xinmei and me, our relationship plummeted. Every time Chen Siting saw me, her pretty face remained expressionless, and I couldn't help but wonder when I could finally restore our relationship.

　　"Okay, I'll transfer it to you later." Qin Xinmei nodded without asking whether the large sum of money she had transferred to me before had been spent.

　　At this time, the office door was pushed open. I turned around and thought it was Chen Siting and my sister-in-law, but it turned out to be Nalan Xi. She was wearing a blue-crimson skirt that covered her knees, and light-colored flesh-colored stockings on her legs. The stockings were of excellent quality and almost exactly the same as the skin on her legs. If you didn't look closely, it would be hard to tell that her beautiful legs were wearing stockings.

　　Nalan Xi opened the door, her silk feet wearing a pair of champagne-colored high heels, and walked in with a capable temperament. Seeing Qin Xinmei and I sitting on the sofa, she said with a smile: "Sister Xinmei, let's go have lunch."

　　The tone seemed to be ignoring me.

　　"Vice President Nalan, next time, don't come into my office without knocking." Qin Xinmei rolled her eyes at Nalan Xi, then stood up, patted her head with her delicate hands, and said with a smile, "Let's go downstairs to eat. Siting and my aunt are waiting for us at the entrance of the company cafeteria."

　　I nodded without saying anything.

　　Qin Xinmei and Nalan Xi walked out of the office first, and I followed behind them. We quickly took the elevator down to the cafeteria floor. When we entered the cafeteria, we saw Chen Siting and my aunt.

　　"Mom, here." Chen Siting's long hair was scattered on her shoulders, with the hair branches cascading down from both sides of her fair forehead like a waterfall. She wore a Korean-style light blue thin cotton top, a blue skirt, and a pair of white boots. The girl's dressing style varied, but no matter what she wore, her pure aura like first love made people unable to take their eyes off her.

　　My aunt Chen Qianqing was wearing a black dress, her figure was curvy and her feet were wearing black high-heeled shoes. When she came to Anhai City, my aunt brought a pair of high-heeled shoes, which is the pair she is wearing now.

　　"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so why not try the company's food." Qin Xinmei smiled deliberately, touched Chen Siting's little head with her jade hand, and walked towards the cafeteria with her high heels.

　　My sister-in-law, Nalan Xixing and I were following behind. At this time, more and more staff came to eat in the cafeteria. They were a group of handsome men and beautiful women, full of energy. They all spoke in soft voices while eating, with extremely high quality, and the atmosphere was free and relaxed.

　　"Chen Qing, how does it feel to work with your mother?" Chen Qianqing looked around the cafeteria. Different types of food were divided into different areas and the decoration was elegant and clean. It was obvious that the company's cultural atmosphere and environment were among the best.

　　Chen Qianqing's eyes were filled with deep approval, as if it was her first time in the company.

　　"Not bad. During this period, I have learned a lot of business knowledge under my mother's guidance." I said truthfully. Indeed, Qin Xinmei's method of managing the "Xinzi" Group is strict in execution, and she is also brave enough to consult the opinions of senior executives from various departments. It is a combination of softness and sharpness.

　　Chen Qianqing smiled slightly and said in a capable tone: "Finish your studies well and help your mother manage the family business in the future." I nodded as a response to my aunt. During the meal, I talked less and ate more. Qin Xinmei, Chen Siting, my aunt, and Nalan Xi were eating and chatting.

　　Chen Siting sat next to me, which was rare. I don't know if it was because she was in front of Qin Xinmei, but she occasionally smiled and said a word or two to me, but I didn't feel happy in my heart. I don't know if she was pretending. Maybe the Korean beautiful girl deliberately acted the same as usual in order to prevent Qin Xinmei, my cousin and others from seeing that there was a distance between me and her.

　　After finishing their meal in the cafeteria, they went up to Qin Xinmei's office and sat in the coffee shop to chat and rest. Chen Siting put her hands behind her back and looked around the office curiously.

　　I thought about it, walked out of the coffee shop, walked over to Chen Siting, and asked in confusion: "Sister, is this your first time in Mom's office?"

　　Chen Siting rolled her eyes at me and shook her head, as if she didn't want to talk to me. Her pretty face was expressionless. After a few seconds, she replied perfunctorily, "Yes, and no."

　　I snorted slightly, being frugal with words and talking nonsense. Thinking of the scene in the cafeteria, I realized that Chen Siting's superficial smile to me was indeed fake.

　　Then I yawned slightly. Last night, I'd been sleep-deprived, and after dinner, I was full and lusty, feeling drowsy and groggy. I walked over to the sofa and sat down, my eyelids drooping uncomfortably. I half-closed my eyes and gazed out at the café, where three stunningly beautiful women were still chatting. I pried open my eyes and turned to Chen Siting. The Korean-style beauty walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, tiptoed to glance out at the tall buildings outside. Her pretty face was a little dull. Turning to see me, sleepy as I sat on the sofa, her brows trembled like ripples on a lake, her face tightening and relaxing in a seemingly conflicted expression. Finally, she gently drew the curtains around her and walked back to the café, expressionless.

　　I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes. I took off my shoes and lay down on the sofa, closed my eyes and fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by Qin Xinmei. I got up and asked in a daze: "Mom, how long have I slept?"

　　Then I looked towards the coffee shop again. It was empty. I didn’t know where Chen Siting, my cousin and Nalan Xi had gone. I guess they went shopping.

　　"I slept for about half an hour." Qin Xinmei looked at my face and frowned slightly: "Go to sleep in the room. It's not good to sleep on the sofa."

　　When I heard that, I lost all sleepiness. I had just slept for half an hour and felt relaxed all over. I guess it was because I was alone with Qin Xinmei, and my fatigue was completely gone at this moment.
