Chapter 49

The dark grass and pink petals between her legs were thus revealed to me.

She was putting on her lace-trimmed shorts.

Hearing me come in, my cousin jumped in surprise, quickly putting her hands between her legs. She looked up, and when she saw it was me, her pretty face flushed red. She said, half-scolding and half-embarrassing, “You little rascal, why didn’t you knock before coming in?”

Seeing that my cousin was alright, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Sis, I’ll go out first…”

Before my cousin could say anything, I hurriedly came out of the room and patted my heart, which was pounding wildly.

Honestly, although my cousin and I have long since crossed the line into our taboo relationship and done many things that only couples can do, I still can’t help but feel a surge of excitement every time I see my cousin’s private parts.

I shakily pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took two deep drags before I could calm the agitation in my heart.

My mind drifted to Li Qiang. I wondered what that guy had done to that manager, and how he dared to come back. Wasn’t he afraid the police would arrest him?

However, Wang Qin from next door hadn’t come out of her room, so I felt awkward asking her what was going on.

I had just finished smoking when the door suddenly opened, and my cousin poked her head out of the room. “Time for breakfast!”

“Here it is.” I took a deep breath, trying to clear my mind of all distractions, and then went back to my room.

My cousin’s pretty face was still slightly flushed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with joy. I noticed that she secretly glanced at me before quickly lowering her head to eat her breakfast.

Watching my cousin eat her breakfast in small bites, I felt a strange sense of enjoyment.

This is probably what they mean by “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

“You idiot, why are you looking at me like that?” My cousin suddenly glared at me, then said in a slightly coquettish tone.

My heart skipped a beat. I hadn’t expected my cousin to notice me staring. I scratched my head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “You’re so beautiful, so I just kept looking at you.”

“fool……”

My cousin gave a soft snort and glared at me with her beautiful eyes, but she didn’t say anything more.

After I finished eating, she took out a tissue and gently wiped my lips and chin. After I finished eating, she took out another tissue and gently wiped my lips.

Watching my cousin’s gentle movements, I felt an indescribable sense of beauty and warmth.

My cousin noticed me staring intently at her, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she asked softly, “Silly boy, what’s wrong?”

“Sister, I…” I suddenly felt my throat was dry, and when I opened my mouth, I couldn’t say a word.

“Alright, you idiot, let’s go to work.” My cousin glared at me. “You only say half of what you mean. If you do that again, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

I laughed and said, “It won’t happen again next time…”

“If you do that again, I’ll really get angry,” my cousin chuckled. “Let’s go to work.”

We had only gone halfway when my cousin suddenly turned to me with a smile and said, “Silly boy, you know you were talking in your sleep last night?”

“Talking in your sleep?” I asked with a laugh. “What did I say?”

I knew my cousin was referring to what I said to her while I was hugging her, but now that she brought it up, it didn’t seem out of place at all. On the contrary, it felt very natural, and her eyes were filled with an unyielding joy.

Although I knew those words were inappropriate, I still said them.

“You tell me…” My cousin’s pretty eyes darted around, then she said mysteriously, “I won’t tell you… hehe…”

“So that’s what I didn’t say.” I suddenly realized that teasing my cousin was actually a fun thing, especially seeing the expression on her pretty face, which was an indescribable enjoyment for me.

“I told you!” My cousin stared at me with wide eyes, pouting. “And you snore like a dead pig.”

“So what did I say?” I laughed and said, “Tell me, sis, I want to know what I said.”

My cousin said in a coquettish tone, “Hmph, I’m not telling you. Anyway, I’ve written it down. Next time you talk in your sleep, I’ll record it and listen to it for you.”

I’ve noticed that my cousin is becoming more and more feminine. I really can’t accept it if such a beautiful flower is picked by someone else.

I need to hurry up and make money. Bai Yixuan is putting a lot of pressure on me. I can’t let my cousin continue to ride in my beat-up bread, or she’ll lose face.

But I can’t tell my cousin about this; I want to give her a surprise.

“Then I won’t talk in my sleep next time, let’s see how you remember it.” I laughed and said, “I promise I’ll sleep like a log.”

“Fool…” My cousin bit her lip, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, her long eyelashes fluttering. I could almost see tenderness in her eyes, and just one glance was enough to melt my heart.

Especially her calling me a fool, it really stirred my heartstrings and made my nerves jump.

I’ve found myself liking my cousin more and more for this.

It just so happened that it was a busy time for traffic, so I didn’t dare to get distracted and quickly focused all my attention on what was ahead.

My cousin also looked down and started playing on her phone.

About ten minutes later, I took my cousin to the airport.

“Sis, we’re here.” I brought the car to a smooth stop.

My cousin got out of the car with her things, then smiled and said to me, “Come pick me up tonight.”

“Bye-Bye.”

My cousin chuckled and waved at me, saying, “Be careful on the road.”

“Mmm.” I nodded vigorously, watching my cousin walk into the airport.

I didn’t run into Chen Yao today, and I don’t know what this woman means to me. If it were love at first sight, that kind of thing would never happen to me.

I shook my head, dismissing these unrealistic thoughts, and headed towards the company.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I was about to clock in when I ran into Yang Yi. As soon as he saw me, Yang Yi hurriedly said, “Xiao Tang, you’ve come at the right time. Manager Chen wants to see you.”

“Looking for me?” I was taken aback. “What do you want?”

Yang Yi’s expression flickered for a moment, then he said somewhat sourly, “I’m not really sure either, but it must be something good. Xiao Tang, Manager Chen has been taking good care of you, so I might need you to look after me a lot in the future.”

I said, somewhat speechless, “Team Leader Yang, it’s too early to talk about that now. Besides, you’re still my team leader. You’ve been taking care of me since I joined. Even if there’s a promotion or a lot of money, it’s not going to be me, right?”

This guy really has a huge ambition for power. Chen Hui only asked him to help spread the word, and he thought of so many things, as if he was afraid I would take his position.

Yang Yi gave an awkward smile. “Let’s go ahead first, lest the manager get impatient.”

I clocked in first, then followed Yang Yi toward the office. As soon as we arrived at Chen Hui’s desk, Yang Yi politely said, “Manager, Tang Zheng is here.”

Today, Chen Hui was wearing a white business suit, long pants and high heels, a white shirt and a black suit jacket, and her hair was tied in a ponytail. She looked less charming and more dignified and mature than yesterday.

“Good morning, Manager.” I asked politely, “What can I do for you?”

Chen Hui glanced at me, then at Yang Yi, and said calmly, “Yang Yi, you go ahead and do your work. I have something I’d like to discuss with Tang Zheng.”

“Oh, okay.” Yang Yi gave me a meaningful look, then turned and left.

It seems this guy is suspicious that Chen Hui might tell me some confidential information.

I really don’t know what to say about this guy. It’s like I’m going to steal his job.

After Yang Yi left, Chen Hui didn’t say anything. She continued typing on her laptop for a while, about two or three minutes, before stretching.

Then he said, “Tang Zheng, let’s go for a walk.”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked outside, which made me even more curious. Strange, what did she want to tell me?

I had just followed Chen Hui out of the office when I unexpectedly ran into Yang Yi again.

When this guy saw me come out of the office with Chen Hui, his eyes were filled with a sour look, and I didn’t want to look at him anymore.

Chen Hui led me out of the office and onto an open space outside, where she stopped and turned to look at me. “Tang Zheng, do you know why I’m here to see you?”

I shook my head blankly. I’m not a god, how would I know what she wanted to talk to me about?

“Well, do you have any suggestions for the company, especially given our high complaint rate? Do you have any solutions?” Chen Hui asked me casually.

Now I was even more confused. “Manager, it seems like you’ve asked the wrong person. After all, I’m just a deliveryman. You should ask our team leader, Yang Yi. He arrived earlier than me and is the team leader, so he knows more than I do.”

I simply dodged the issue and passed it on to Yang Yi. After all, I didn’t want to get involved, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble that petty guy Yang Yi might cause me.

Chen Hui smiled slightly, then shook her head. “I’m asking you now, not Yang Yi, so I hope you can give me an answer. I’m sure you won’t make things up, right?”

I was even more confused. What did she mean by that? Asking me about something like this seemed a bit inappropriate.

Moreover, I asked this question without going through Yang Yi. If Yang Yi knew, I wonder what he would think.

“Tang Zheng, I hope you don’t feel burdened and just tell me the truth. From your perspective, how do you think we should reduce the chances of customer complaints while improving our delivery efficiency?”

Chen Hui crossed her arms and said, “I know you must have ideas. It’s good to have ideas. If your ideas are suitable for the company’s development, I will vigorously promote them.”

What she said made me even more confused, and I didn’t have any ideas at all; all I was thinking about was making more money.

Seeing that I was somewhat at a loss, Chen Hui continued, “I’m giving you a task. After you go back tonight, think carefully about the two questions I mentioned, and then submit them to me as a document tonight or tomorrow.”

After she finished speaking, she slowly returned to the warehouse, leaving me standing there completely bewildered.

I absentmindedly pulled out a cigarette, about to light it, when Zhao Qian suddenly jumped behind me. “Xiao Tang, something terrible has happened…”
