Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 590: Chapter 564: Resolving and Taking Leave

“Well, it’s hard to say, he’s always been pretty casual, he might come back any day. He came here to experience life.” The boss casually replied.

“I’ll leave my contact information. If he comes back, please have him call me. Sorry for the trouble.”

When Yu Minglang left the shop, he looked at the bottle in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Who would come to the Porridge House to experience life and give away such a valuable thing?

And why did he bring Qian Bao so far to eat?

Yu Minglang returned to the car. He looked at the bag containing the liquor bottle and thought for a while. An image appeared in his mind.

He remembered now. When he consulted Professor Liu about his pre-marriage phobia, he suggested coming here.

“There’s a 24-hour porridge shop here. The crab meat soup dumplings are especially delicious. You should bring Xiao Qian here when you’re free. She often works night shifts and her health has suffered.”

If Professor Liu recommended it, it could just be a coincidence. And that man who claimed to be Xuan… was probably a coincidence, too… right?

Knowing that Qian Bao would definitely ask about the bottle when he came home, Yu Minglang didn’t want to worry her further. So he drove to Second Brother’s place and gave him the items to keep in his office.

When the man named Xuan called him, he would send it over.

His preliminary judgment was that the man didn’t pose a threat to Qian Bao. After all, there was no reason for a stranger to target her. Perhaps he was just a wealthy man coming to experience life, and when he saw someone he clicked with, he casually gave away a gift.

Moreover, as Yu Minglang recalled his interaction with Xuan yesterday, although his intuition told him that the man named Xuan surely had a story behind him, he didn’t feel any malice from him.

So Yu Minglang set this matter aside for the time being.

When Qian Bao woke up, Yu Minglang was already cooking. The first thing she did was ask about the bottle.

“Where’s that bottle of liquor?”

“I sent it back.”

“What was the boss up to?”

“That wasn’t the boss, it was his friend. Seems like he’s out experiencing life. He probably just thought we were kindred spirits, so he casually gave us a bottle of liquor. Don’t overthink it, it’s no big deal.”

“Where did Xuan go?” Qian Bao asked, still puzzled by the note that appeared with the bottle in her past life. She wanted to have a personal conversation with that man.

“After he gave us the items, he left the country. We don’t know when he’ll be back.”

I see… Qian Bao found it a bit strange.

But on second thought, she might be overthinking it.

She hadn’t met Xuan before, and she didn’t have any impressions of him in her past life. During the brief encounter, she also didn’t feel any hostility from him.

The bottle from her past life could very well have not been gifted by Xuan.

If someone could casually give away such a valuable item, regardless of whether he knew its value, it was enough to prove that he was a capricious person. He could give the bottle to her or someone else.

It’s perfectly normal for these antiques to circulate. Maybe in her past life, Xuan gave the bottle to someone else, who then passed it to her hands. After becoming a boss in her past life, she offended many people, especially a lot of colleagues.

There were some patients she had cured with special identities. After they were cured by Qian Bao, their competitors weren’t happy. Maybe it was a competitor of a patient who wasn’t pleased with Qian Bao and sent the bottle along with the creepy note.

Or perhaps one of her past life’s patients was playing a prank on her, sending a bottle to scare her. However, Xiao Wei happened to have an accident, so the bottle also seemed mysterious.

Without witnessing it with her own eyes, even the smartest person wouldn’t be able to piece together the truth about the bottle. Qian Bao could only guess a few possible outcomes based on the current situation.

Eventually, she decided that the timing of the bottle’s appearance was a coincidence. The emotional ripple the man named Xuan had on her faded away. After not figuring this out in her past life, Qian Bao set it aside.

The result of working too late was causing Qian Bao’s sleep schedule to go awry. She arrived home at 2 a.m. and was intimate with Ming Lang for a while, and didn’t go to bed until nearly 3 a.m. When she woke up, it was already 10 a.m., so the meal she was having was both breakfast and lunch.

During the meal, she received a call from the office. They asked her not to work for the next three days.

Due to the threatening phone call, they decided to temporarily suspend ‘Soul Code’ for 3 days to give Qian Bao time to recover and adjust her mood. Someone else would cover her program for these 3 days.

Qian Bao’s first reaction to this notice was to decline. She didn’t feel at all threatened by a mere phone call. Her agreement with the professor was to complete 60 days. If she took leave, she would have to make up for it.

But before she could reply, Ming Lang grabbed the phone and thanked the office profusely. He expressed that Qian Bao was greatly scared and had only slept at 3 a.m. the previous night.

Qian Bao was exasperated at hearing this.

Hey! What was the actual reason she had slept so late the previous night?

This shameless man insisted on saying that her OCD was going to flare up and gave her an injection despite her protests! With such close contact, there was no way she could sleep. Wasn’t he feeling a pang of guilt for lying so blatantly?

“Yes, I understand this program has high viewership. But as her fiancé, seeing her unable to sleep at night hurts my heart…” Ming Lang avoided Qian Bao’s hand reaching over to pinch him while revealing his ultimate objective.

“So, could these three days be extended by another two days, giving her a five-day vacation? Rest is for travelling a longer journey. Yes, yes, thank you very much, director. Goodbye, director!”

He hung up the phone and winked at Qian Bao. How about that, isn’t Elder Brother great?

This is the correct way to apply for leave. Successfully securing precious time to spend with Xiao Mei was perfect!

Qian Bao felt incredibly weak.

“I promised my professor I would do this for 60 days. If you ask for leave now, I’ll have to make up the time later.”

To Qian Bao, this type of uninteresting work was something she would rather finish early.

“Wait until I go back to work. I finally came to spend a few days here, don’t you want to spend more time with me?”

“I’m with you all the time, even when I’m working.”

“No, no, no! Being with me as I dictate is completely different. Seeing your emotional instability, your OCD could flare up at any moment—”

“I don’t have OCD! My OCD is cured! You must be dreaming if you think I’m going to stay home doing nothing for the next few days, rolling around with you like a farm animal!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
