Looking at Kang Xia’s reaction, Tang Xiu was at a loss whether to cry or laugh. The vigilance in Kang Xia’s eyes was like she was looking at a pervert.

“Have you woken up?”

After clearly seeing that it was Tang Xiu, only then Kang Xia’s vigilance disappeared slowly, replaced by an awkward and embarrassed expression, making her blush.

“B-Boss, you… you’re back!”

Tang Xiu laughed, “Yeah, I just came back and wanted to rest, but I didn’t expect…”

The embarrassed expression on Kang Xia’s face was getting thicker. She knew what Tang Xiu would say. Yet, however, she was here in his room. Last night, after she accompanied Gu Yin to sleep, she had a sudden impulse to go to Tang Xiu’s room. She only intended to play in his room for a while as she later stumbled with drowsiness and fell asleep there.

More importantly, she only put on underwear without covering herself with a quilt. Didn’t this mean that he had already seen almost everything?

Looking at her expression, Tang Xiu only smiled, “It’s alright. Since you feel more comfortable sleeping in my room, sleep here tonight! I’ll go sleep in the guest room.”

Having said that, he then turned around to leave.

Kang Xia was surprised for a moment and promptly called out, “Boss, I’ll return to the guest room. Y-You… you rest here!”

She immediately ran off the bed, putting her slippers and dashing to the door. Yet, when she ran to the door, only then did she realize that she also threw the thin quilt that covered her body in Tang Xiu’s room. She wanted to take the blanket back, but because she was only wearing underwear, for a moment, the usually smart and intelligent woman was unexpectedly caught at a complete loss, embarrassed.

Tang Xiu smiled as he shook his head and said, “Just sleep here!”

Leaving his bedroom, Tang Xiu picked one of the guest rooms. There were bloodstains on his clothes, and though it was not very obvious, he couldn’t wear it anymore. After going to the bathroom and taking a bath, he suddenly realized that he didn’t bring a change of underwear. Without any other choice, he walked out of the room stark naked, sit on the bed and covered himself with a blanket, and then dialed Kang Xia’s number whilst half-leaning on the bed.

“Yes, Boss?”

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Kang Xia had put on pajamas as she sat on the bed, her imagination running wild. As she heard her mobile ringing, she took it and saw that it was a call from Tang Xiu. A slight blush covered her face, but she still quickly answered it.

“Erm… I forgot to get clean underwear and clothes. Can you send them over? I’m on the first floor,” said Tang Xiu.

“Alright!” replied Kang Xia.

Two minutes later, she knocked on the guest room’s door and heard Tang Xiu’s voice, permitting her inside. She opened the door cautiously and saw Tang Xiu’s naked upper body as he sat in the bed head position. With a slight blush on her face, she said, “Boss, your clothes.”

Tang Xiu pointed the end of the bed and said, “Put them there!”

Kang Xia quickly put the clothes on the end of the bed, but a strange thought popped inside her mind, “He obviously had just finished bathing and had yet to change clothes and underwear. Then… he’s stark naked now?”

Tang Xiu’s naked appearance involuntarily popped out inside Kang Xia’s mind. For a moment, her face turned hotter, blushing as though a sunset glow crawling up on her face.

Looking at the dazed expression on Kang Xia’s face, Tang Xiu secretly sighed inside. At the moment, Kang Xia looked especially attractive to him. After all, her thin pajamas were basically unable to cover her perfect delicate body. Even the color of her underwear could be seen clearly under the bright lights.

He wasn’t a wicked and perverted man, yet his body was young and he was in the prime of his youthfulness. It was very easy to fall into impulsiveness. However, he couldn’t give Kang Xia any responsibilities, so he must restrain himself.

“Is there anything else?”

After having been silent for more than ten seconds, Tang Xiu slowly asked.

“Huh?” Kang Xia came back to her right mind. She shook her head with a shy expression. There was panicked look in her eyes as she replied, “Uh, no, nothing. I’m fine.”

Tang Xiu said with a laugh, “If there’s nothing, go back and rest! Dawn soon will come, and if you don’t have a good sleep, you won’t be spirited in work tomorrow.”

Work?

As she heard Tang Xiu mentioning this word, her heart was as though poured by a bucket of cold water. Suddenly, a bad mood filled her, feeling as though she wasn’t really attractive enough for Tang Xiu, not able to tempt him. Had it been other men seeing her with only pajamas on her body and sitting on their beds, perhaps they would be already unable to endure it, throwing themselves at her. But Tang Xiu…

He simply turned a blind eye!

Anger was breeding fast inside Kang Xia’s heart as she thought about it. Suddenly, she looked up at Tang Xiu and asked, “Anyway, am I really that unattractive to you, just an employee that can make money for you?”

For a moment, Tang Xiu stared blankly. As low as his emotional intelligence was, he really didn’t understand why Kang Xia suddenly asked him this question. After staying silent for a moment, he then said indifferently, “For any men, you have a strong attraction and allure. As for me, I don’t want to be trapped within the sentiment of love. So I can’t give any you responsibilities. Hence, apart from regarding you as my employee, I really don’t know how to regard you otherwise.”

“What did you say?” Kang Xia’s beautiful eyes stared wide as she looked at Tang Xiu.

He… does he really think of her as only his staff? A money-making tool for him?
