When Xie Yu'an saw him, he smiled politely and courteously.

"I heard your girlfriend was injured, and you rushed to the hospital in such a hurry. The project team leader didn't see you, so he asked me to come and check on you."

Shi Yan's expression was indifferent, clearly unmoved by her act.

"My girlfriend got hurt, not me. You don't need to come here again."

These words were spoken extremely bluntly, showing Xie Yu'an no respect whatsoever.

Perhaps feeling he had lost face in front of Shen Ting, his official girlfriend, Xie Yu'an looked somewhat displeased.

"Shi Yan, I'm your boss, how can you talk to me like this?"

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an invisible pressure.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan suddenly lowered his head and chuckled softly, his laughter growing colder and colder.

"My boss is the head of the technical department, and Manager Xie is from the human resources department. Isn't that overstepping their bounds a bit?"

He didn't consider Xie Yu'an's feelings at all when he said that.

Even after she slammed the door shut and left with a cold expression, Shi Yan's hard face remained expressionless.

Shen Ting, however, looked nervous: "She's your boss, after all. Won't you get fired for talking back to her?"

Shi Yan didn't seem to care at all: "It's nothing."

It took Shen half a minute to belatedly realize what was happening.

What is she worried about? Once he regains his memory, the entire company will just be a small business under his control. What is Xie Yu'an compared to him?

He had absolutely nothing to do with offending his boss and getting fired.

At this moment, Shen Ting was incredibly envious of Shi Yan's good fortune.

I really want to experience the life of a domineering CEO from a novel, even if I'm caught in a panic.

Shi Yan took out the mangosteens he had bought and peeled them for her.

Shen Ting sat on the bed playing on her phone, but her thoughts were still on what Xie Yu'an had just said.

How could she have known what Shi Yan would do next?

Could they also be from another time?

Shen Ting suddenly regretted not adding her on WeChat earlier; otherwise, she might have already gotten information out of her.

Shi Yan handed over the peeled mangosteen, and Shen Ting, without thinking, took a bite right from his hand.

With its sweet and sour taste and juicy texture, mangosteen is simply one of the most delicious fruits.

As Shen Ting was eating, she suddenly heard Shi Yan say out of the blue, "I'm preparing to resign."

"Why would you suddenly want to resign?" Shen Ting asked, puzzled.

It's such a waste to quit such a good job.

Seeing that Shen Ting was pouting and didn't seem very happy, Shi Yan appeared even more unhappy than her.

His brows furrowed, and his voice was a few decibels lower than usual.

"Haven't you noticed? Xie Yu'an's target has always been me."

Shen Ting nodded: "We found out, but so what?"

Shi Yan pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a few minutes, he asked somewhat reluctantly, "Aren't you unhappy at all?"

Shen Ting finally realized that he was jealous.

"He's your boss, what's wrong with him showing some concern for you?" she said deliberately, pursing her lips.

Shi Yan was amused by her words: "You really can't tell?"

"What did you figure out? She likes you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yan stared intently at her, as if trying to find any trace of displeasure or jealousy on her face.

Shen Ting acted quite naturally, as if she had just said something insignificant.

"Please, have some confidence, okay? You're so handsome, what's wrong with more people liking you? If no one likes you, it just proves I have bad taste."

Shen Ting shrugged, her tone relaxed.

Shi Yan's face turned completely dark, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his expression cold and fierce.

He didn't say anything more to Shen, and with a cold face, he took the grapes out to wash them.

Watching his departing figure, Shen Ting sighed silently, her expression no longer as cheerful as before.

She was naturally upset.

But what else could she do besides pretend to be relaxed?

She can't really end up like the original owner, relying on being a villainous supporting character to oppose the original heroine all day long, only to be tragically killed off as cannon fodder in the end.

Shen Ting pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Around three or four in the afternoon, Song Yaya sent her a few WeChat messages, asking why she had taken leave and wasn't coming to work.

Shen Ting briefly recounted what had happened yesterday.

As soon as she got off work, Song Yaya rushed to the hospital to visit her, bringing a bunch of fruit and a bouquet of flowers.

He also brought a lesson plan.

"I see your arms aren't injured. Don't forget to write lesson plans while you're in the hospital," Song Yaya joked.

Shen Ting: "..."

Thank you, but there's no need for that.

Song Yaya chatted briefly with her about what happened in class today, and then looked around.

"You're so badly injured, didn't your boyfriend come to take care of you?"

Shen Ting looked up at Shi Yan standing outside the door: "He's right outside."

Song Yaya followed her gaze and was immediately shocked, her eyes widening in surprise.

That profile is absolutely stunning, comparable to the looks of a celebrity.

She exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder you look down on Qi Lu! The difference in looks is just too much!"

Shen Ting chuckled.

The reason I don't like Qi Lu is partly because he's average-looking and a jerk.

Another major reason is that she didn't have the guts.

If Shi Yan really found out, wouldn't he tear her to pieces?

The two chatted briefly for a while before Song Yaya went home to cook.

As she walked out of the ward, she couldn't help but look back.

Wow, that's so cool.

Her profile is stunning, and her front view is absolutely gorgeous.

Before meeting Shi Yan, she must have been blind to be interested in Qi Lu!

Unfortunately, handsome boyfriends always belong to other people, Song Yaya clicked her tongue in regret.

After Song Yaya left, Shi Yan walked in.

He deliberately looked away from Shen Ting: "What are you having for dinner?"

Shen Ting thought for a moment: "Hot and sour noodles, then."

"No." Shi Yan coldly refused, "You have injuries and cannot eat spicy or stimulating foods."

"Then let's have fish noodles."

Shi Yan gave a low "okay" and then went out to buy her food.

Shen Ting couldn't help but find it amusing when she recalled his awkward manner when he spoke earlier.

He deliberately sulks and doesn't want to talk to her, but at the same time he can't help but care about her. He's just like the arrogant male protagonist in a novel.

As Shen Ting pondered this, she chuckled softly.

Just then, a nurse walked towards her.

They said the injury wasn't serious and he could be discharged in two more days, but he would need to stay home for half a month and avoid strenuous exercise during that time.

After listening, Shen Ting couldn't help but sigh.

She just got a permanent position and now she has to take half a month off, which means her salary is going to be gone again.

Fortunately, there's still a million left.

Shen Ting opened the bank app and stared at the six zeros after the 1 for a long time, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth from her mouth.

Shi Yan had just returned from buying food and saw her smiling like that, so he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What good news? Share it with us!"

Upon hearing the voice, Shen quickly closed her phone: "It's nothing, I'm just happy that you're going to buy me food."

"Is that so?" Shi Yan scoffed lightly, a pixel rising at the corner of his mouth.

Shen nodded quickly when she heard that he wasn't as angry as before.

"Then I'll buy you food every day from now on, okay?" he asked again.

Shen Ting's eyes dimmed for a moment.

Big asshole.

Don't be fooled by what you say about the future now. Once he regains his memories, he'll turn his back on you in a heartbeat.

Ugh, what a scumbag.

Shen Ting had just opened his mouth, but hadn't had a chance to say anything yet.

Suddenly, Shi Yan's phone rang. It was Sun Xin, the head of the technical department, calling.

"Xiao Shi, are you free right now? Our company's Manager Cui said he needs to speak with you urgently. Could you come over now?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Shen Ting on the bed.
