Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Atonement

"Will your friend come over tonight?" Wen Mei noticed that Shi Qing didn’t want to continue the topic, so she shifted to An Yin.

"I don’t know." Shi Qing answered honestly.

Shi Qing felt a momentary daze when she heard Wen Mei utter the word "friend."

From childhood to adulthood, she had no friends by her side. Whatever she did, it was always on her own. Growing up, seeing other classmates playing together in groups, she didn’t feel envious or long for that kind of life.

However, after the incident with former boss, Shi Qing’s heart gradually began to change. She was no longer repulsed by talking with An Yin, and for Wen Mei’s mention of the word "friend," she suddenly had a bit of hope!

Perhaps, in her heart, she always longed to have someone beside her. It used to be her older sister, but who is that person now?

On the other end of the phone, Wen Mei could hear the distance in Shi Qing’s voice. She understood that Shi Qing didn’t like talking to others, and without even exchanging pleasantries, they quickly hung up.

Night Charm Bar.

In the office, Wen Mei sat at the desk, holding her phone with her slender hand, her fingertips painted a bright red as usual, looking dazzling and eye-catching.

She glanced at the glass door, let out a small laugh, then softly said, "If she doesn’t say what’s wrong, there’s nothing I can do."

Wen Mei was alone in the room, there was no sound from the other side of the door, and she continued, "I was never close to her. Chasing after someone for personal matters does feel inappropriate, besides, why don’t you just come forward openly since you’re so concerned..."

Wen Mei didn’t continue. There were some things she had to refrain from saying in front of this man.

As far as Wen Mei knew, Shi Qing was someone special to the man inside!

"She’s been here for almost two years now!"

Just when Wen Mei thought the other person would remain silent, his deep voice sounded.

Wen Mei pondered over this sentence and then replied, "I will find a time to give her a raise."

The man did not express any opinions, which indicated her suggestion was quite acceptable.

At this point, Wen Mei slowly stood up, walked to the glass door, and traced circles on the clean glass with one hand, her gaze flickering toward the door, exuding charm in her eyes.

"You should leave!"

The man’s voice rang again, and as Wen Mei heard it, her hand froze midair, with a bittersweet smile on her face, as if his response was exactly what she expected.

Usually carefree, she didn’t obediently listen this time. Wen Mei stubbornly stood her ground, staring intently at the door, as if he was standing right in front of her. She said word by word, "Do you expect to spend your life atoning for your sins? Shi Chu wasn’t..."

"Wen Mei!"

The man’s magnetic voice echoed.

Hearing her name from his mouth again, Wen Mei momentarily lost herself. How long had it been since he last called her name? Even though there was a warning in his tone, her heart still fluttered.

She slowly withdrew her hand from the glass door. Some things could be said once, but not twice, and Wen Mei understood that very well.

Shi Chu was his Achilles’ heel!

"Then I’ll be leaving!" Wen Mei’s face broke into a renewed smile, as if the person drowning in sorrow earlier wasn’t her at all.

After she finished speaking, there was no response from the other side.

Wen Mei turned around, her smile gradually solidifying. Sometimes she felt envious of Shi Qing, who did nothing yet received his care! This was precisely what she could only yearn for!

Qin Land Club.

In the top suite, An Yin was sitting in the living room on the sofa, her sparkling eyes occasionally glancing towards the entrance.

Beside her stood an auntie who looked kind and gentle, with a perpetual kind smile, giving off a close and approachable feel.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Bao said he would be over soon." The auntie noticed the young girl’s restless demeanor and tried to reassure her.

"Alright." An Yin nodded.

Her heart inexplicably started to feel nervous.

Just after Shi Qing left, the auntie appeared in the living room, explaining that she always took care of Mr. Bao’s domestic affairs whenever he visited "Qin Land."

An Yin quietly listened to the auntie’s chatter, learning that Mr. Bao was a neat freak with strict cleanliness standards and had never brought any woman here during his stays at "Qin Land."

At this point, the auntie’s eyes gleamed as she said, "Mr. Bao has never brought a girl here before, you’re the first one!"

Upon hearing this, An Yin mumbled, "I’m not very familiar with him!"

The auntie heard her words and simply assumed that the young girl was being shy.

The conversation gradually grew warmer, leading An Yin to ask the auntie to call Bao Shaojin, expressing her desire to see him.

After making the call, the auntie conveyed Bao Shaojin’s message.

You can see him, but finish your breakfast first.

Initially, upon hearing Bao Shaojin’s instructions, the auntie also found it hard to believe.

Mr. Bao’s words sounded rather domineering, but upon closer thought, every word contained a sense of care and concern.

An Yin didn’t overthink it. To see Bao Shaojin as soon as possible, she hurried back to her room to freshen up. When she returned, the auntie had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Though she had little appetite, she still downed a glass of freshly squeezed soy milk, along with three shrimp dumplings and a small steamed bun.

After eating, she returned to the living room to wait.

In the quiet room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were opened by the auntie, letting in strong light so that there was no need to turn on the lights; the space was naturally bright.

An Yin noticed the auntie standing by the sofa and shyly said, "Auntie, why don’t you come and sit too?"

"Haha, I’m used to standing." The auntie politely declined. As a servant, how could she sit at the same level as her employer? But seeing the young girl so genuinely considerate, a warm feeling spread through her heart.

An Yin didn’t insist.

Noticing the young girl’s apprehensive look, the auntie tentatively asked, "Are you afraid of Mr. Bao?"

An Yin shuddered at her words. Did she make it that obvious? "A little bit."

"Actually, Mr. Bao is quite kind." The auntie thought of something, "When I first started working here, I accidentally broke one of Mr. Bao’s vases. He didn’t hold it against me or make me compensate for it. Later I heard from someone else that every object in Mr. Bao’s room was priceless!"

Upon mentioning this, guilt washed over the auntie’s face.

What she didn’t say was that after the incident, she became even more meticulous and diligent in managing Mr. Bao’s affairs.
