Chapter 231 [Empire] Gentle People
This went on for a long time. He was truly a workaholic, immersed in his work as if he could never get tired.
During the occasional video conference, he was stern. His eyes were sharp as a knife, fixed intently on everyone on the screen. His words were concise and powerful, each one carrying an undeniable authority.
I gently handed him a glass of warm water while he was in a meeting. When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was stuck, as if time had stopped at that moment.
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and at that moment, I could sense his inner touch. However, he quickly recovered and pretended nothing had happened and continued working.
But I could clearly see that his expression was a little unnatural. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but he was trying hard to restrain it. His eyes would occasionally glance at me, with a hint of tenderness.
This serious and cold workaholic also has a warm side. My small gesture could move him so much.
His meeting continued, but my presence seemed to bring a different atmosphere to him.
His tone was no longer as harsh and sharp as before, but became more calm and peaceful. When someone raised a question, he would listen carefully and then give appropriate answers and guidance.
Perhaps it was my cup of warm water that subtly changed his mood. He began to listen to other people's opinions more patiently and stopped rushing to make decisions.
During the meeting, he would look at me from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness, and I could sense that his heart had become calmer and more peaceful.
His change also affected the atmosphere of the entire meeting. Everyone seemed to have sensed his change, speaking more actively and the discussion becoming more heated.
After the meeting, he turned around and looked at me with a hint of resentment on his face.
"Why don't you take a good rest? Why do you come to disturb me while I'm working?" Although there was blame in his tone, there was no anger at all.
However, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his inner joy.
I couldn't help laughing at his hypocritical look.
"I see you're working so hard, so I wanted to bring you a glass of water."
I grinned and made faces at him, completely ignoring his complaints. My eyes narrowed into slits, my tongue stuck out, and I looked very playful.
Shan Qi looked at my funny expression, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed helplessly. His smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright.
Finally, he tucked me in and ordered me to sleep. His movements were gentle and delicate.
"I'm not sleepy, why should I sleep?" I muttered, feeling a little dissatisfied with his domineering attitude.
I bared my teeth at him in dissatisfaction, expressing my protest. I didn't want to go to bed so early, I wanted to chat with him for a while longer.
Shan Qi remained unmoved, his eyes were firm and gentle.
"Sleep well and stop being in a bad mood." His voice was low and magnetic.
Although I was unhappy, I also knew that he was doing this for my own good, so I reluctantly closed my eyes, but secretly opened them a crack to observe his actions.
Shan Qi watched me close my eyes obediently, a smile on his face. He sat gently on the edge of the bed, looking at me quietly, his eyes full of tenderness and care.
