The pushover offended a top-tier boss

He had been holding back for a long time, and while in the kitchen, he wanted to have sex with her.

"Ahhh—no!" Ye Zhenzhen struggled, kicking her legs wildly in the air, and one of her slippers flew off.

"It's too late now."

I got a punch on the butt.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Ye Zhenzhen's face was completely ruined.

In a final struggle, she cried out, "Wait—I need to get something!"

Ye Zhenzhen wrapped herself in a bath towel, ran to the living room, and took out the small umbrella she had secretly bought from her coat pocket.

Standing by the bathtub, blushing, she whispered, "Boss, could I use this?"

She didn't want to take medication every time afterward. The first time, she forgot because she was too scared.

I ate it a few days ago, eating it again will definitely be bad for my health.

Zhou Huaijin glanced down at what was in her hand, then looked up at her embarrassed and ashamed expression.

"You want me to use it?"

"Uh-huh."

"Do it yourself."

Ye Zhenzhen's face turned even redder.

She kept her head down, her fingers trembling. She was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Finally, she discovered a serious problem—

The size is wrong.

She bought a size L, but it still doesn't fit.

"Ye Zhenzhen, do you know which number to buy next time?" His voice came down from above, with a low chuckle.

"Okay, okay..."

They've completely lost face.

Later they went back to bed. She was bullied and cried again and again.

She sat on the carpet, wrapped in a blanket, watching Zhou Huaijin take a clean bed sheet out of the closet and change into it.

Ye Zhenzhen had only one thought in her mind—

Being a mistress is really tough.

When she went to sleep, she deliberately kept her distance from him, as if there were a galaxy between them. She was afraid of provoking him and getting herself into trouble again.

But when she woke up again, she found herself hanging on him like a koala.

One leg was draped over his, one arm was around his waist, and her face was buried in his chest.

She stiffly raised her head and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Ah—it's nine o'clock!" She sat up abruptly.

Zhou Huaijin was woken up by her shout. He frowned and rubbed his ears, which were ringing from the noise. "Is the earth going to explode at nine o'clock?"

"No... I'm late..." Ye Zhenzhen had already thrown off the covers and started searching for her pajamas all over the floor.

Zhou Huaijin leaned against the headboard, watching her wander around the room like a headless fly.

"Your personnel file is with the School of Pharmacy; how was anyone supposed to know you were late?"

Ye Zhenzhen stopped moving.

Yes, her salary is paid by the school. She's on secondment to the district committee; she doesn't clock in, sign in, or participate in attendance tracking. Who cares if she's late or leaves early?

How come she didn't think of that?

She lay down comfortably and without any qualms.

Actually, taking a nap isn't a bad idea.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, I suddenly remembered something else.

No, it was dangerous again last night.

She quickly reached for her phone on the bedside table and opened it to buy medicine online.

"What do you want to buy?" Zhou Huaijin's voice came from behind.

"Medicine..." she searched for nearby pharmacies.

"Where does it hurt?"

"It was yesterday...it didn't work...I need to take my medicine."

Zhou Huaijin understood what she was talking about, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"You took medication the first two times?"

"I didn't eat it the first time," she whispered.

Zhou Huaijin was silent for a moment, then took her phone from her hand and placed it on her bedside table.

"Don't eat it, it's bad for your health."

"No...it's not safe," Ye Zhenzhen explained hastily.

"Are you still taking the Chinese medicine?" he asked.

"I drink it every day," Ye Zhenzhen nodded, her tone helpless. "My mom is more punctual than an alarm clock, and she even takes photos to document it."

"Okay, then don't eat it."

"Can't I eat this while drinking that Chinese medicine?" she asked, puzzled.

"Um."

"Could it be that...?"

"Won't."

Actually, during that hospital visit, the doctor privately told Zhou Huaijin that she had polycystic ovary syndrome, which, although not considered a disease, is common among many women.

It's just that getting pregnant is a bit difficult.

The main issue is that she fell into icy water, which chilled her uterus, making it difficult for her to conceive. However, with proper care and treatment over time, she should be able to recover.

Ye Zhenzhen wanted to ask more, but Zhou Huaijin said again, "If you're pregnant, then give birth."

He's not young anymore, having a child would be good, and it would make things easier to explain to his family.

Ye Zhenzhen was stunned, her mind jolted awake by his words.

Born?

They've only been together a short time, and she's already having a child.

What will the child be after she gives birth? An illegitimate child?

Moreover, she didn't believe anything a man said in the heat of the moment during sex.

Who wants to have his children? Sleeping with him and spending his money is enough.

However, he said "no," so could it be that the medicine has a contraceptive effect?

"Boss, are you going to work today?" she changed the subject, peeking out from his embrace.

"I have a meeting this afternoon." He didn't open his eyes, and his voice was lazy.

"Oh, so what are my plans?"

Zhou Huaijin narrowed his eyes, looking at her with messy hair and an expectant expression that seemed to say she just wanted to slack off.

"Nothing's wrong, you can take the holiday early."

"Starting tomorrow, they should all be leaving one after another."

"Really!" Ye Zhenzhen instantly woke up, jumping out of bed and almost bumping into his chin. "Finally, I can go home for vacation!"

"Then I'll go buy some things later and bring them home for my parents," she said.

"What do you want to buy?" Zhou Huaijin leaned against the headboard, watching her excited and restless appearance.

"Yes, it's for Chinese New Year."

"Go to the warehouse and take a look. If you like anything, you can take it back."

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes brightened even more: "Really?"

She loves getting something for nothing.

She finished washing up and changing her clothes as quickly as possible.

The warehouse was on the basement level. The basement was larger than she had imagined. One wall was a wine rack, filled with bottles of wine, some of which looked quite old. Another wall was piled with various gift boxes—tea, tonics, dried goods—stacked neatly.

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes lit up.

She crouched down and began rummaging through the gift boxes.

Twenty-year-old Pu'er tea—take it!

Fifteen-year-old red wine—bring it here.

Thirty-year-old dried tangerine peel—give it to me.

She came up from the basement carrying bags full of things, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Boss, these items of yours are all expired, shall I dispose of them for you?"

Zhou Huaijin glanced at the "expired" items in her hand and didn't bother to say anything to her.

They're so happy to get a little something extra.

"Hmm, is there anything else you want?"

Ye Zhenzhen cautiously probed, "I saw you have salmon in your refrigerator. You're not spending the New Year here, are you?"

She saw it last night when she was drinking water—a large piece of fresh salmon. It was unopened; it must have been newly bought.

Sashimi, that would be so delicious...

Zhou Huaijin saw through her little scheme and reluctantly hummed in agreement.

"Take it."

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

She ran quickly to the refrigerator.

Carrying large and small bags, he looked completely satisfied.

"Boss, I'll be going now."

Seeing her eagerness to fly away, Zhou Huaijin could no longer hold back:

"Ye Zhenzhen, she's just gone like that?"

Ye Zhenzhen also felt that she had been a bit too ungrateful, so she hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "Wishing you a happy new year in advance, and all the best. May you grow younger and more handsome every day."

"That's all?" He looked at her face, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Ye Zhenzhen bit her lip, hesitated for a few seconds, then blushed, stood on tiptoe, and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

I will miss you.

Zhou Huaijin: Hmph, at least she has some awareness.

Ye Zhenzhen flew away happily.

As I stepped outside, I silently muttered to myself:

Hehe, who would miss you!

The cattle and horses were finally freed.
