Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Porridge in the Pot (2)_1

After putting down his phone, Han Jingnian, reminded of the message from Song Youman and the note he wrote to her, scowled and latched onto Xia Wan’an’s lip, vigorously kissing her like a ferocious beast before letting go.

The head of the HR department at the other end almost popped his eyes out when he read those two words.

What? Sleeping in? The reason for taking leave is to sleep in?

The HR Head dared not voice his indignation and could only nod, typing a few words back to the big BOSS, "Sure thing, Boss Han."

Who exactly is this Xia Wan’an? She’s so brazen in taking leave. He asked her to inform him if any of his subordinates took leave, but she went straight to the big boss of all bosses...

What was even more bizarre was that Han Jingnian, who always disliked late arrivals and early departures, not only consented without hesitation but also sent a message on her behalf.

No matter who Xia Wan’an is, she seems to be an influential figure not to be trifled with...since she can’t be offended, the only thing to do is...

As he thought this, the HR head called his subordinate, "Take note of Xia Wan’an. If she comes in late, leaves early, or skips work, just let me know. Don’t bother logging it."

...

Three hours later, Han Jingnian left Xia Wan’an’s home.

Just as he was about to step out of the villa, he received a call from Mrs. Zhang.

"Young Master Jingnian, you called earlier asking me about cooking vegetable meat porridge. How is it going? Was the porridge successful?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

Han Jingnian answered with a nonchalant "mm-hmm."

"It was successful? I was worried you wouldn’t be able to do it and was about to call for help...how many attempts did it take, Young Master Jingnian?"

Mrs. Zhang had been with Jingnian since he was young, so he had great respect for her. Despite her talkativeness, he patiently replied, albeit somewhat reluctantly, "on the...first try."

"Young Master Jingnian is really smart! There’s nothing he can’t master. To succeed on his first attempt at cooking, that’s amazing!"

Han Jingnian hung his head and didn’t say anything.

Perhaps Mrs. Zhang had other pressing matters to attend to, as she quickly hung up the call.

After putting away his phone, Han Jingnian looked around before walking over to a nearby trash can to dump in the eight boxes of failed vegetable meat porridge he had been carrying.

...

Xia Wan’an slept in until three in the afternoon, and only woke up when her stomach rumbled with hunger.

She sat dazedly with the duvet wrapped around her for a while before she picked up her phone.

Upon seeing the time, she instantly became fully awake.

She had slept until the afternoon... In just two more hours, it would be time to clock out from work!

As she got up and started brushing her teeth, Xia Wan’an thought about calling her office to take a leave of absence.

However, as she walked to the sink, she saw a note on the mirror.

"Porridge in the pot. Already called in for a leave. Sleep at ease. Han Jingnian."

It was only when Xia Wan’an saw the three words ’Han Jingnian’ that she remembered him. After a search around the villa, she confirmed he had left.

After cleaning up, Xia Wan’an went to the kitchen, opened the pot, and sure enough, there was a flavoursome pot of vegetable meat porridge.

Xia Wan’an served herself a bowl of porridge, sitting at the dining table. As she stirred it with a spoon cooling it down, she took out her phone to see how Han Jingnian had asked for leave on her behalf...
