The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

Crackling, crackling...

Qin Lili was awakened by the sound of typing on a keyboard. It wasn't just one person typing; one was typing fast, the other slow, and they were even typing in separate parts… There were also two people speaking in hushed tones.

"Qianxue, look here, isn't there a problem?"

"Hmm... I also think this data is a bit unreasonable. How can it be so different?"

The voice was very soft, as if the speaker was deliberately speaking in a low voice, like a thief.

Qin Lili opened his eyes groggily. He didn't know when he had fallen asleep, and his current position was a bit strange.

She was lying on her side, facing the back of the sofa, with her arms wrapped around herself. She probably rolled over because the ceiling light was too bright after she fell asleep.

However, the only downside to this posture is that holding your arms for a long time can cause your wrists to hurt a lot when you move them.

She sat up from the sofa, the thin blanket slipping down to her legs.

This thin blanket seems to be cashmere; you can tell it's not cheap just by touching it.

As for who covered it... who else could it be? Ling Qianxue's words were sharp as knives, but her heart was kind.

She yawned and squinted at the desk opposite her.

To be honest, her desk was a bit of an odd combination. There was a rather imposing desk next to a slightly smaller one, which belonged to Vice President Shen. The two of them were always cuddling together in this office...

Ling Qianxue and Vice President Shen are currently sitting head to head, whispering to each other in front of the computer screen, completely absorbed in their work, and have not noticed that Qin Lili has woken up.

Qin Lili stood up and stretched. Her clothes weren't long to begin with, and the stretch revealed her stomach, but she didn't seem to care. Instead, she grinned.

"What are you two plotting over there?"

Ling Qianxue turned her head at the sound, only then realizing that she was awake. She raised an eyebrow and said in an annoyed tone:

"Isn't it because you're afraid of disturbing someone's sleep? You just stay in their office and won't leave, and you even fall asleep there. I have to hold my voice to talk to my vice president about some serious business."

Qin Lili grinned at Ling Qianxue without arguing, put on her shoes, and walked to the window.

The rain outside the window stopped, and the clouds looked as if someone had ripped a hole in them, letting the sunlight shine through. The sunlight shone on the glass wall of the building across the street, making it a little dazzling.

"Hey, the sun's shining."

She muttered something, twisted her waist, and stretched, making her bones crack and pop.

Just then, her stomach suddenly growled loudly, so loudly that she heard it herself, and the two people behind the desk also heard it.

Qin Lili touched her belly and turned to ask:

"Is the food good in your company cafeteria? I'm hungry."

Ling Qianxue rolled her eyes:

"Why bother eating in the cafeteria? They've already started preparing dinner. If you really like eating in the cafeteria, you can wait and have dinner with us later."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Vice President Shen next to her and said something, which Qin Lili didn't quite hear, but it seemed to be something like "Go and make arrangements".

Vice President Shen nodded, then silently turned and left the office.

Qin Lili looked at Vice President Shen and said to Ling Qianxue:

"I'm telling you, he's a vice president, and he's your husband. Can you stop treating him like a secretary, making him handle everything personally, big or small?"

"I can use my husband however I want, it's none of your business."

Qin Lili shrugged, took out her phone and glanced at it; it was 4:20 PM.

"Damn, I've been sleeping here all day?"

"And you still dare to say that?"

Ling Qianxue looked disgusted behind the computer.

"I don't know what you've been doing these past few days. How come you're so tired? Your sleep quality is so good. I can't hear you when I call you, and I can't wake you up no matter how much I nudge you. It's like you're hibernating."

"Indeed, the air conditioning in your room is too cold."

Qin Lili even turned the tables on them. She stuffed her phone into her pocket, sauntered back to the sofa, plopped down, and leaned to one side, just like a spoiled old man. She even casually covered her legs with the thin blanket and tucked the corners in.

Seeing how self-aware she was, Ling Qianxue simply stopped watching and hid her face behind the monitor.

But Qin Lili wasn't about to give up. She was doing this on purpose to provoke Ling Qianxue. She loved seeing the CEO Ling angry but helpless.

She rubbed her stomach and said to Ling Qianxue:

"I want to eat braised pork."

"no."

Ling Qianxue didn't move, she just replied with two words.

Qin Lili raised an eyebrow and said:

"The sweet and sour pork ribs."

"no."

"You must have braised prawns, right?"

"No, not at all."

Qin Lili curled her lip and asked:

"What does your cafeteria have?"

"have no idea."

Ling Qianxue replied irritably, but the typing sound was noticeably faster than before, a sign that she was about to get angry.

Qin Lili rolled over and lay flat on the sofa, pulling the thin blanket over her stomach, and sighed as she looked up at the ceiling.

"How did you run this cafeteria? It has nothing you can get."

"Hey lady, I don't own a restaurant, why are you ordering food from me?"

Ling Qianxue finally looked up from behind the monitor, giving Qin Lili a fierce glare that said, "That's enough."

But Qin Lili wasn't satisfied with just that. This was exactly the effect she wanted. She felt it wasn't enough as it was now and needed to be further fueled.

She clicked her tongue and said:

"Well, what I said is true. Look, they don't even have such a basic dish as braised pork. Your cafeteria is no good, it's terrible."

Boom!

No sooner had she finished speaking than the solid wood desk opposite her rattled, causing the white porcelain teacup on it to clatter.

I'm angry, I'm angry, hahaha.

Qin Lili turned over, lying on her side, propping her head up with her arm, her face towards Ling Qianxue.

Sure enough, Ling Qianxue was frowning, her lips pursed, and glaring at him.

But Qin Lili knew that this wasn't real anger; it was just that she was so angry with herself that she was at her wit's end and couldn't do anything about it.

Having known each other for so many years, Qin Lili knew better than anyone how to provoke Ling Qianxue.

For example, ordering food, lingering and not leaving, or deliberately trying to annoy her—none of these constitute stepping on a landmine.

Given their relationship, there's only one real minefield: Vice President Shen, who looks like a secretary to them.

As long as she doesn't touch that Vice President Shen, Ling Qianxue won't really turn against her.

It's that simple, and that's how good our relationship is.

The two were facing each other across the table when the office door opened.

This time, it wasn't Vice President Shen who came in; it was a young girl whom Qin Lili had seen before—she was Ling Qianxue's official secretary.

She was short in stature and wore big round glasses, looking like a recent college graduate; she was quite cute.

The secretary was carrying a large bag, which looked like a custom-made takeout bag from a restaurant, with a logo on it.

"Mr. Ling, your takeout has arrived."

"Just put it on the coffee table."

Ling Qianxue said something behind the computer, and the secretary nodded, put the bag on the coffee table, glanced at Qin Lili who was sitting on the sofa like a sleeping beauty, and left without asking any questions.

Qin Lili looked at the bag; it was indeed restaurant takeout. She could already smell the aroma. She raised an eyebrow at the desk.

"For me?"

"For feeding dogs."

Ling Qianxue muttered something behind her desk, then resumed her rapid typing.

Qin Lili grinned, sat up, and without any hesitation, took the bag and opened it.

This delivery service is pretty good. The food containers aren't the disposable plastic kind; they're wooden boxes. The cost of those doesn't look cheap at all.

She took out the boxes one by one, opened the lids and took a look.

Braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised prawns, a steamed fish, a bowl of winter melon soup, and a bowl of white rice.

"Wow, you prepared this in advance! How did you know what I wanted to eat?"

Qin Lili smiled, picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth, talking as she ate.

Ling Qianxue replied:

"Every time you come to me for food, it's always the same few dishes. It's always the same few dishes over and over again. If I can't remember them, I might as well close down and keep my company."

Qin Lili chuckled twice, then picked up another piece of pork rib and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and sour, and the taste made her feel great.

She chewed on the ribs and said to Ling Qianxue:

"Hey, Xiaoxue."

"what?"

"Love you."

"Hurry up and finish eating, then leave."
