Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Sleeping in the Study Tonight (2)_1

Han Jingnian, like a robot under someone’s control, abruptly halted his motion of slamming the keyboard downwards.

With a blank expression on his face, he froze for two seconds while still holding the keyboard, then put the keyboard aside on a stack of thick files, and then he stood up, pretending to need a break from sitting for too long. He stood in front of his desk, continuing his pretend typing on the keyboard.

Quick to react, Xia Wan’an didn’t notice anything unusual. She yawned softly and asked in a low voice, "Can I come in?"

Han Jingnian remained silent.

"I’ll count to three. If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes... three, two, one..." Xia Wan’an opened the door wider and made her way to Han Jingnian’s side, hands held behind her back.

There wasn’t a hint of a reaction on Han Jingnian’s face, his gaze never leaving the computer screen.

Ignoring his blatant disregard, Xia Wan’an reached her head out in front of him: "Hey, you’ve been working for so long, are you tired? Would you like me to make you some late-night snacks?"

His typing motion froze a little, but Han Jingnian’s expression remained calm.

"No answer means you’re not hungry, huh?" Xia Wan’an circled around Han Jingnian, and seeing that he still stuck to his silent treatment, she added: "Are you thirsty? Would you like a drink?"

She stood in front of his computer screen, blocking his view. With no way to avoid her, Han Jingnian silenced himself, looking down.

Xia Wan’an puffed out her cheeks, "Still not speaking? So, you’re not thirsty? In that case, I have a gift for you, do you want it?"

Han Jingnian quickly looked up, his eyes fixed on Xia Wan’an.

With a tilt of her head, Xia Wan’an smiled. Seeing him remain silent, she said again, "Not speaking means you don’t want the gift too, huh?"

She then straightened up, her hands still hidden behind her. Xia Wan’an slowly began to step backwards, heading towards the door to the study: "Since you don’t want snacks, or drinks, and don’t even want my gift, then... Just continue working. I’m going to sleep..."

Before Xia Wan’an could finish her words, Han Jingnian blocked her pathway, "Isn’t it you who said ’silence means consent’?"

Was it so hard for him to admit he wanted the gift? Did he have to act so proud and use her own words against her?

Xia Wan’an couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Seeing her not handing him the gift, Han Jingnian said, "Are you reneging on your words?"

What the hell? Is he playing the victim now?

Xia Wan’an wanted to drop this annoyingly proud man and walk away, but she just thought about it, because from the depth of his dark-as-night eyes, she saw his suppressed anticipation and anxiety.

So... he hoped so much to receive her gift?

Xia Wan’an felt warm and soft in her heart. She took out the gift hidden behind her and presented it in front of Han Jingnian: "Here you are."

Han Jingnian stared at the red velvet box in her palm, looking and re-looking, as if afraid it was only an illusion. After a full minute, he tremblingly reached out and took the box.

Xia Wan’an saw Han Jingnian staring at the velvet box with no further action, and couldn’t help saying, "Aren’t you going to open it and see if you like it?"

"I like it." Han Jingnian replied, even without knowing what was inside, catching on to Xia Wan’an’s words.

As long as it’s from you, I’ll love it.
