Keep Distance, Mr. CEO!

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Play with him? She’s still too green!

The little child, upon seeing his mother arrive, had already forgotten everything in his excitement and hurriedly pulled her inside.

Thus, Ye Ning could only awkwardly carry the fruit basket inside, and afterward, it was in this spotlessly clean and understatedly luxurious apartment that she saw the man sitting at the desk. At that moment, he didn’t even lift an eyelid, just kept typing away on the notebook.

Should she go over and greet him?

Ye Ning, recalling the quarrel that had taken place over the phone before coming, instantly felt even more nervous. Letting go of her son’s little hand, she plucked up the courage to approach him, "Third Young Master, about today, I really want to thank you."

"..."

No one paid attention to her, the only responses she got were the "click-clack" sounds of the keys being struck by slender fingers and, furthermore, the sound of the air conditioning blowing through the apartment.

Seeing this, Ye Ning felt even more awkward inside and wanted to say something more, but the frozen atmosphere and the fact that he hadn’t even glanced at her made it quite difficult for her to speak.

So, after standing there for a while and rubbing her sweat-soaked palms, she went over to her son.

"Xiaobao, did Uncle buy this for you?"

"Yes, Uncle bought it when he took me out. Isn’t it pretty?"

"Pretty, did you thank Uncle?"

"I did..."

An utterly pointless conversation that made Ye Ning feel awkward.

Of course, it also made her feel hollow inside!

Today, she had gone job hunting. Just last night, she had submitted her resignation letter, and early this morning, she had gone to her new company. It would have been fine if he hadn’t found out, but now that he had caught her in the act, which boss would tolerate such "betrayal"?

Ye Ning felt she couldn’t stay any longer and wanted to leave with her son.

"That said, Third Young Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking Xiaobao with me now. He was discharged from the hospital today, and I still have to manage the paperwork for him there."

Discharged?

The man who had been sitting at the desk all this time waiting for this woman to offer an explanation finally narrowed his eyes after hearing that and pushed his notebook aside, "Discharged? Do you think the hospital operates just for you?"

"What?" Ye Ning did not understand, "What do you mean ’operates just for me’? What are you trying to say?"

What am I trying to say?

Ou Mucen leaned back in his chair, staring coldly at her, "You’re asking me what I mean? Should I make a call to the hospital director to have him specifically arrange your son’s discharge for this time?"

Ye Ning: "..."

Standing there, flushed and embarrassed for quite a while, she finally managed to squeeze out, "I’m sorry, I was wrong about today. I went out early in the morning and didn’t stay at the hospital..."

"You don’t have to apologize to me, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Ou Mucen interrupted her with evident impatience, rising from his chair.

Seeing this, Ye Ning felt even less sure of what to say. She walked over and followed behind him, "It’s not that – I’m apologizing because my child caused trouble for you today, and I’m truly sorry about that."

Is that it?

Ou Mucen, hearing this, felt his rage building, turned around, and towered over this woman, "Oh really? If you feel so sorry, then you can repay me."

"Repay?"

"Yes, it was two thousand for taking your son to dinner, fifteen thousand for the trip to the beach with him, and fifty thousand for that model. As for my time as the CEO of Ou Corporation, I’ll begrudgingly charge you fifty thousand for an hour, how about that? Shall we get a calculator to add it up?"
