208 An awkward breakfast

When Lin Li came out of the room, Zhou han was wearing an apron and standing in the kitchen making breakfast. Lin Li was still a little embarrassed and her face was still red. She went straight back to her room and prepared to take her bag and go to the company. Although it was still very early, just past seven O ‘clock, thinking about what happened last night and having to sit face to face with Zhou han at the same table to eat later, Lin Li felt her body heat up badly. In the end, she still hadn’t thought of how to face him. It was like a movie with too many intense scenes. She needed some buffer time.

When Lin Li took her bag and was about to go out, Zhou han just happened to come out of the kitchen with breakfast. In addition, there was a bowl of black stuff that was brought out with the breakfast.

Seeing Lin Li carrying her bag and walking towards the door, Zhou han called her, ” “Come and have breakfast before you go out.”

Hearing this, Lin Li stopped in her tracks and didn’t turn her head. She only laughed dryly and said, ” “No, no need. I didn’t go to work yesterday. There must be a lot of work for me to deal with at the company. I’ll go to the company first.”

Lin Li’s left foot was about to step forward when she heard Zhou Han’s cold voice behind her, ” do you think I won’t be able to handle my work properly if you don’t come for a day? ”

The smile on Lin Li’s face froze. She turned her head and said with a flattering smile, ” hehe, how can that be? the General Manager is extremely capable. Even without a Secretary, he can still do all the work in an orderly manner and create the highest efficiency in the shortest time possible. If she could leave this place now and not face him, she didn’t mind saying a few words of flattery. In fact, she wasn’t exaggerating much. Zhou Han’s office ability was indeed outstanding. For example, she was just a half-baked Secretary who could only handle some simple work such as organizing documents and replying to emails. She didn’t know how to do any slightly better translation. Her English was so bad that it reached the fourth grade in college, but she had already passed the make-up exam.

Zhou han nodded in satisfaction and said, ” “It’s good that you know.” Seeing that she had no intention of coming over, he furrowed his brows and said to her, ” “What are you still standing there for? come and have breakfast.”

“I’m not going to eat that breakfast. I think I’d better leave early to deal with today’s work.” Lin Li said as she turned around to leave.

“Stop!” Behind her, Zhou han shouted at her, ” have breakfast first. His tone was so serious that it was a little cold, not allowing any room for rejection.

Lin Li’s face was bitter, and she stomped her feet gloomily. She put the bag in her hand on the cabinet at the entrance, then reluctantly turned around and walked toward the dining room. She reached out to massage her throbbing temple, and realized that her head was hurting even more than before.

Looking at her extremely depressed face, Zhou han slowly smiled and his mood was inexplicably better. Seeing her pull out the chair in front of him and sit down in front of him, he then handed the bowl of black things in his hand to her and said calmly, ” “Drink The Hangover Tea first, you’ll feel better.”

Lin Lili looked at the bowl of black Hangover Tea in front of her and then looked up at Zhou han. In the end, she still said awkwardly, ” thank you. Then, he picked up the bowl and started drinking.

Zhou han glanced at her and didn’t say anything. He turned around and went into the kitchen to bring out his breakfast, as well as milk.

The Hangover Tea tasted a little strange, and the smell was also a little strange that one couldn’t describe. However, Lin Li still finished it in one go because her head really hurt badly because of The Hangover. She could only hope that this Hangover Tea would really be as magical as Zhou han had told her mother.

Putting the empty bowl aside, Lin Li reached out and took the milk that Zhou han handed over. She softly thanked him, ” thank you.

When she reached out, she happened to touch Zhou Han’s hand. She suddenly quivered and retracted her hand. That reaction was as if she had touched something with electricity, and her whole body went numb.

Fortunately, Zhou Han’s hand hadn’t pulled away, so the milk in his hand didn’t fall from the air onto the table.

Zhou han looked up at her and didn’t say anything. However, his Obsidian-like eyes stared at Lin Li, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She could only laugh dryly and say, ” “My hand ... My hand was just electrocuted.”

Upon hearing that, Zhou Han’s lips curled up and he didn’t say anything. Then, he passed the milk in his hand to Lin Li and placed it on the right side of her plate. Then, he suddenly took advantage of Lin Li’s unguarded state and directly opened his hand to hold Lin Li’s hand.

Lin Li was slightly startled by his actions. She stared at him for a long time before asking, ” “You, what are you doing?”

Zhou han smiled and looked at her. “I want to see if I’m really carrying electricity.” After saying that, he let go of her hand and sat down on her.

Lin Li didn’t say anything and also deliberately avoided his gaze. She picked up the milk at the side and drank a mouthful to moisten her throat.

Zhou han took the knife and fork and started to enjoy his breakfast. Compared to Lin Li’s various awkwardness, Zhou han was much more comfortable.

Lin Li was a little absent-minded as she ate. She didn’t eat much, but she drank a lot of milk. The glass of milk was finished in a short while.

Zhou han ate his breakfast elegantly and looked up at her. He asked slowly, ” “What’s wrong? are you thirsty?”

Lin Li laughed dryly. Actually, she wouldn’t be thirsty, but she didn’t want to explain too much. She nodded anyway. Actually, she had a problem. Whenever she was nervous and embarrassed, she would really want to drink something, whether it was water or other drinks.

In the end, she felt that it was a little too embarrassing. Lin Li took a deep breath and ate the sandwich. Then, she raised her head and was about to say that she was full, but before she could say anything, she saw Zhou han handing her a glass of milk and saying, ” “You can drink it, I’ve never drunk it before.”

Lin Li was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She quickly waved her hand and laughed dryly, saying, ” “No, no, I’m not thirsty.”

Zhou han raised his eyebrows and looked at the breakfast on her plate. He deliberately said, ” “Aren’t you thirsty? I thought you couldn’t eat the sandwich because it was too dry.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li lowered her head and looked at the sandwich beside her that hadn’t been touched much. She smiled dryly and explained, ” “No, no, I, I’m just full.” After saying that, he felt that this statement was not convincing enough, so he added, ” “You know that I can’t eat much in the first place. If I eat too much, I’ll throw up. Rather than throwing up after eating, I might as well not eat, right?”

Zhou han looked at her and raised his eyebrows on purpose. really? I thought your anorexia had gotten better. Your appetite has been good recently. Why? is it acting up again? ”

Ill, you’re the one who’s ill! Lin Li silently cursed in her heart. However, after hearing what he said, she suddenly remembered that her appetite had indeed improved a lot recently. Regardless of how much she ate, at least she no longer had the desire to vomit. She would also feel hungry, with a strong feeling of hunger.

Seeing that she was a little dazed, Zhou han gently called her back to her senses. huh? ”

Lin Li came back to her senses and raised her eyes to meet Zhou Han’s Obsidian-like eyes. She immediately turned her head away in embarrassment and stood up in a panic, saying, ” “I-I’m full. I’ll go to the company first.” As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the entrance. When she was about to reach out to take the bag on the cabinet, Zhou han suddenly spoke again, ” “Are you hiding from me?” The sound wasn’t loud, but it was very powerful. It hit Lin Li’s heart heavily, binding her feet and making her unable to move.

Lin Li didn’t turn her head. She bit her lip and only said, ” “No, I just want to go to the company earlier.”

Behind her, she heard Zhou han say, ” I thought it was because of Hanhan last night.

“No, I didn’t!” Without waiting for him to finish, Lin Li turned around and interrupted him. She looked at Zhou han and said with a bit of stubbornness, ” “I’m not the kind of person who would hide from you because of these things. We’re all adults. It’s no big deal to do something in bed. There are many one-night stands out there. If I hide from you because we’ve slept together, that would be too pretentious. I, I can’t do such pretentious things.”

Zhou han didn’t miss her trembling lips and her tightly clenched hands between her legs. However, he didn’t expose her. He only looked at her lips with a devilish smile and said, ” “So you’re saying that you’re going to the office so early to prepare for today’s work?”

“Of course!” Lin Li nodded with an undeniable expression. She raised her chin slightly and looked a little proud.

“Ahem.” Zhou han coughed and held back the smile that was already on his lips. He nodded and then deliberately said in a serious tone, ” it seems like I’m really glad to have such a hardworking employee like you.

The corners of Lin Li’s mouth twitched, but there was no smile on her face. She only said, ” I’ll take my leave first. After he finished speaking, he changed his shoes, opened the door, and went out.

After the door was opened and closed again, Zhou han finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Why did he feel that the more he spent time with this girl, the more he felt that she was too cute?

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Zhou han was just about to sit down and continue eating his breakfast when the doorbell suddenly rang. He subconsciously frowned and wondered who it could be so early in the morning. He frowned and looked towards the door. However, when he saw the bag on the cabinet at the entrance, his originally tightly locked brows relaxed. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile again, and he pushed the chair away and walked towards the door.

Before the second doorbell rang, he opened the door. As expected, the one who rang the doorbell was Lin Li, who had just left not long ago.

why are you back? ” Zhou han asked with a smile. do you want to leave with me later? ”

Lin Li’s lips twitched, and she only said in a low voice, ” I forgot my bag. Then, she walked into the room sideways, took her bag from the cabinet, and left.

Zhou han looked at the figure who quickly walked away and disappeared at the corner of the corridor, and the smile on his face became more obvious.
