Chapter 50050: Rock Sugar Pear

Wen Qi wasn't one to lie, so when she asked him that, he replied very seriously, "I had a bit of insomnia and didn't fall asleep until after four o'clock."

Ji Xian probably didn't expect him to be so blunt, and she didn't want to ask him why he couldn't sleep.

After thinking about it, she only gave him a couple of half-hearted compliments on his dedication.

They directly attributed his insomnia to work.

Wen Qi gave her a deep look. Ji Xian was very smooth in dealing with people and had high emotional intelligence. She was also very adept at solving thorny problems.

This is also why she is so popular.

They never put others in awkward situations and can always save the day in crucial moments.

Her saying this now is a way of avoiding the topic of their past relationship.

Wen Qi didn't know how to respond. He took a sip of coffee and then heard her calm voice gently ring out, "High-precision basic components for the aerospace industry are at the micro-nano level. Look at the deviation range of this ordinary rib axis."

Turning his head, he saw Ji Xuan holding a document in his hand, which was still covered with dense translation notes in both Chinese and Russian grammar.

Ji Xuan approached the question with a humble attitude, because it involved the aviation field, and as the saying goes, "a trade is like a mountain," especially when it came to professional terminology and key points.

There are so many things she doesn't understand.

Because I didn't have enough time to prepare for this translation task, it felt like I was cramming at the last minute.

This feeling was unsettling; she preferred to be confident of victory.

She researched extensively online and consulted with senior executives on the Russian side to ensure flawless translation, so that she could answer even if the client asked her to explain a particular sentence in detail.

After all, it's always better to be prepared.

When it came to business, Wen Qi suppressed his melancholy and began to talk to her in a serious manner.

Only at times like these will the awkwardness between the two of them completely disappear.

Indeed, they are not suited to be lovers; they are more suitable as business partners.

This is what Ji Xian thought.

As she inadvertently lowered her head, she slightly tugged at the corner of her lips.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the fourth day, the factory to be inspected was in a neighboring city of Moscow, a two- or three-hour drive away, and there were two factories there, so one day was definitely not enough time.

It's like having to go on a short trip.

When Ye Xueyan came to Wen Qi's room to give her routine report in the morning, she found Wen Qi, who was wearing a turtleneck sweater, tinkering with something in the kitchen.

His suite comes with its own kitchen and various utensils.

It's very complete.

"Mr. Wen?"

Ye Xueyan was horrified; she never expected that the Crown Prince of the Wen family would cook.

Could it be that he's gotten tired of eating Russian food these days and is now forcing himself to cook for himself?

Wen Qi glanced back at her, replied with a "Good morning," and then continued with his own business.

Ye Xueyan walked over and saw that there were chunks of snow pear cooking in the pot, and a faint sweet aroma filled the air. Wen Qi was scooping snow pear soup into a light pink thermos.

Rock sugar pear?

The thermos has a simple design with two cute rabbit prints on the surface, making it look like something a girl would use.

Ye Xueyan's mind raced, and a name immediately popped into her head.

Ji Xian!

Ji Xian's voice has been a little hoarse these past two days, so this rock sugar pear soup is perfect for her.

Even now, she is still shocked, as if she has discovered some incredible, earth-shattering secret.

Is it possible that President Wen still can't let go of Ji Xian?
Recalling the hint in his eyes when he said he would take Ji Xian and the others back a few days ago, he realized that the look he gave him was suggestive.

And look at this pot of rock sugar pear soup...

Alright, case solved. President Wen is not only devoted but also deeply affectionate.

But if we're going to talk about it this way, then it was clearly not President Wen who initiated their breakup, but Ji Xian...

"Give this to Ji Xuan when you see her later."

Wen Qi turned around and handed her the light pink thermos.

Ye Xueyan was pulled back to her senses by his voice. She reached out and took it, blinking blankly. "I...I'll give it to her?"

Wen Qi nodded, "No need to say I cooked it."

what?
Meeting his gaze, Ye Xueyan suddenly realized what was going on.

This is something she doesn't want Ji Xian to know.

As for why she didn't want her to know, Ye Xueyan couldn't guess, nor did she want to.

This was beyond her comprehension.

"I see."

After she agreed, she watched as Wen Qi leisurely fastened his watch, put on his suit and overcoat, while she gave her routine report. Afterwards, she and the other executives gathered in the lobby.

Ji Xuan and Shen Jia arrived at Gerna with their suitcases. They had just finished greeting the executives at Gerna when Wen Qi and the others arrived.

Since it was a short-distance trip, Gerner replaced Wen Qi's car with a stretched Lincoln and provided a professional driver.

As they were getting into the car, Ye Xueyan walked over to Ji Xuan and handed her a light pink thermos.

The cup is about the size of one and a half palms, chubby at the bottom, and comes with a straw and a small spoon.

Ji Xuan asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Rock sugar pear".

"For me?"

"if not?"

Ji Xuan's astonishment not only didn't subside, but deepened, "Where did you get rock sugar pears from...? Did you make them?"

Ye Xueyan felt a little guilty, but had to nod and admit it, "Yes. I've noticed your throat hasn't been feeling well these past few days. You never seem to bring your own cup or anything, you don't take care of yourself at all!"

"Those throat lozenges don't seem to be very effective. I should have brought you some Jin Sang Zi throat lozenges from Beijing. They're much better. Even if your voice is hoarse from a cold, it'll be fine after a couple of days."

Her voice was a little weak when she spoke at first, but she became more confident and assertive towards the end.

Ji Xuan was deeply moved and gently hugged her, saying, "Thank you."

Ye Xueyan hugged her back weakly, glanced at Wen Qi who was already in the car and looking in their direction, coughed lightly, and tried to naturally pull her closer to the car.

So that Wen Qi could hear their conversation.

Do you like this cup?

"I like it, it's quite cute."

Ji Xian didn't even look into the car; she kept staring at the thermos in her hand, as if she couldn't put it down. A smile curved her lips, adding a touch of softness to her beautiful, clean face in the winter sunlight.

Where did you buy this cup?

I haven't gotten back home very early these past few days after finishing my work, so I guess I shouldn't have anything to do to go shopping.

Ye Xueyan paused for a moment, then chuckled dryly twice, almost biting her tongue as she spoke, “Yesterday… I didn’t get back too late. I accidentally poured out all my makeup remover, so I took some time to go to the supermarket and bought this cup because I thought it was cute.”

In fact, she had no idea where Wen Qi got the cup, nor where the rock sugar and pear came from.

Now it's all made up.

Once you tell one lie, you have to tell another to cover it up.

She had no choice; she dared not disobey her boss's orders.

Ji Xian smiled and didn't delve into the question. "Did you buy any makeup remover? I have an unopened bottle."

"I got it, I got it!" Ye Xueyan said hurriedly. "Remember to drink this rock sugar pear soup."

As Ji Xian bent down to get into the car, Wen Qi casually withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips before quickly smoothing it out, leaving no trace of his true feelings.
