Ding Yinan has never made a mistake until now.
As a gifted student in the eyes of teachers and a good subordinate in the eyes of his boss, he was always far-sighted in everything he did, and tried to be perfect.
However, at this moment, he was lying naked next to Huo Zhixiao, not to mention that there were still traces of Huo Zhixiao on his body.
The shock of making a mistake was more severe than a headache. Ding Yinan closed his eyes and imagined the solution in his mind, but five minutes later, his mind was still blank, but the sudden sound of the alarm reminded him that he still had work to do.
“Master Huo.” Ding Yinan pushed Huo Zhixiao.
The title that has been called countless times seems extremely ironic in front of the eyes. It was clear that the posture of the two were already intimate, but the verbal title was as unfamiliar as ever.
Huo Zhixiao didn’t move, as if he was still in a deep sleep. If this was just an accidental one-night stand, then Ding Yinan would definitely put on his pants and leave without anyone noticing.
But he couldn’t.
He must wake up Huo Zhixiao as soon as possible, otherwise the two will most likely miss their flight this morning.
Missing a flight was not a big deal, but it was somewhat subtle at this point. Zhao Yang’s team won the award, and Huo Zhixiao deliberately avoided them—colleagues in the firm like to talk about such groundless gossip behind their backs.
In order to prevent his boss from being called a loser, Ding Yinan had to do his job well in this difficult situation.
“Huo Zhixiao.”
This time Ding Yinan broke free from Huo Zhixiao’s restraint, sat up and shook him.
Huo Zhixiao was finally willing to open his eyes, and there was a strong wake-up breath between his brows and eyes, as if he was on the verge of an explosion. But in the next second, he saw the person beside him clearly, and then he seemed to recall the crazy things last night, and greeted Ding Yinan with the corners of his lips curled up: “Good morning, Secretary Ding.”
Ding Yinan turned over and got out of bed without any reaction. He put on the scattered clothes from the ground with his back facing Huo Zhixiao. He tried his best to speak to Huo Zhixiao behind him in his usual working tone: “Go downstairs for breakfast in fifteen minutes.”
After saying this, he left the room without waiting for Huo Zhixiao to reply.
There were several video call requests and countless WeChat messages on the phone, most of which were Han Shuo asking which room he lived in.
Ding Yinan threw the phone aside and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. The sticky feeling on his chest and abdomen finally disappeared. If it weren’t for the two distinct palm prints on his buttocks, he could almost pretend that nothing happened last night.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
But in fact, he has already missed the best time to pretend nothing happened. The situation would not allow him to slip away quietly. Seeing Huo Zhixiao’s ambiguous expression, it was obvious that he clearly remembered all the details of last night.

Ding Yinan pretended not to see it. He estimated that Huo Zhixiao would tie the tie by himself. After all, what happened last night, maintaining a proper social distance was the way adults should deal with it.
Dante Yinan was wrong, he overestimated Huo Zhixiao’s social attributes.
“Secretary Ding,” Huo Zhixiao looked at Ding Yinan and reminded lazily, “The tie.”
“……” Fine.
Ding Yinan walked up to Huo Zhixiao resignedly, and skillfully fiddled with the black cloth in his hand.
In the past, when Ding Yinan tied Huo Zhixiao’s tie, Huo Zhixiao always looked at himself in the dressing mirror. But today is different, Ding Yinan clearly felt that Huo Zhixiao was staring at him, his naked eyes made him extremely uncomfortable.
“It’s done.”
Ding Yinan withdrew his hands, raised his eyes to meet Huo Zhixiao’s gaze with a calm expression.
Last night, not only Huo Zhixiao saw another side of Ding Yinan, but Ding Yinan also saw Huo Zhixiao who had never seen him before—sneaky, with a bad personality.
So Ding Yinan knew why Huo Zhixiao was looking at him now, because he wanted to see a different expression on his face, such as awkwardness or unnaturalness.
Ding Yinan thought that his psychological quality was quite strong. The reason why he passed the interview at Jiushan Architects was because he was able to behave calmly in the face of heavy pressure. Now he was looking at Huo Zhixiao without hesitation, but he just wants to tell Huo Zhixiao that what happened last night will not affect him in any way.
“Can we go?” Ding Yinan asked.
“Let’s go.” Huo Zhixiao closed his eyes and said.
The hotel’s buffet breakfast was quite rich, and Ding Yinan’s professional habits made Ding Yinan eat a lot of Huo Zhixiao’s favorite food.
The two sat face to face, the original atmosphere was the same as usual, but at this moment Huo Zhixiao suddenly asked: “Did you sleep well last night?”
A very ordinary greeting, but Ding Yinan stopped eating porridge. When he was awake, he didn’t fall into the pit as easily as last night. He knew very well that Huo Zhixiao didn’t mean simply sleeping.
To say that he slept well was to admit in disguise that he was satisfied with what happened last night; to say that he didn’t sleep well was to say mercilessly that his boss’s job is not good.
No matter what the answer was, it will make the work atmosphere that Ding Yinan finally managed to pull back into an ambiguous direction again. So he chose not to answer directly: “I don’t remember.”
Ding Yinan’s attitude was obvious, he didn’t want to talk about this topic, he thought that Huo Zhixiao would not continue talking, but in one day, his prediction made a mistake for the second time.
“I remember it quite clearly.” Huo Zhixiao looked at Ding Yinan and said, “I didn’t expect Secretary Ding to be so savage that he almost broke me…”
Snapped.
Ding Yinan put down the spoon quickly, the metal and the porcelain plate collided with each other and made a crisp sound, interrupting Huo Zhixiao’s unfinished words. Ding Yinan looked at the person coming behind Huo Zhixiao, and said hello tensely: “Master Zhao.”
“Secretary Ding, good morning.” Zhao Yang approached the two of them with a plate, “I didn’t take good care of you last night. Let’s get together again when we get back.”
“Okay.” Ding Yinan said politely.
During the conversation between the two, Huo Zhixiao stared at Ding Yinan’s face the whole time, with a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Ding Yinan really didn’t like this kind of feeling. The communication between the two of them was simple and efficient at work, so why was it so difficult to communicate after sleeping?
“Master Huo.” Ding Yinan decided to have a good talk with Huo Zhixiao, “I drank too much last night, I don’t want this matter to affect our work.”
“Will it affect it?” Huo Zhixiao asked.
“If you keep bringing it up,” Ding Yinan paused, “Yes, it will affect me.”
Huo Zhixiao didn’t answer any more, and ate breakfast leisurely. Ding Yinan only regarded him as acquiescing, and he was relieved anyway.
After breakfast, the time was just right, and the two took the elevator back upstairs to pick up their luggage.
There were no other guests in the elevator, so Ding Yinan pressed the floor button and the door close button. But at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly opened the slowly closing elevator door and rushed in.
Han Shuo looked at Ding Yinan and opened his mouth, obviously he wanted to say something. But as the elevator door reopened, another three or five guests swarmed in, squeezing Ding Yinan and the three of them to the innermost place in an instant.
All this happened too fast, and when Ding Yinan realized it, he was already leaning against the elevator wall, with Huo Zhixiao standing on the right and Han Shuo standing on the left.
The other guests were chatting with their parents, so it was naturally inconvenient for Han Shuo to speak again.
Ding Yinan looked at the numbers on the screen expressionlessly, and after a while, he suddenly felt someone hook his left little finger.
He looked down subconsciously, then raised his head and met Han Shuo’s flattering gaze.
“Wife.” Han Shuo mouthed.
Ding Yinan straightened his head indifferently, and withdrew his hand from Han Shuo’s. However, at this moment, Huo Zhixiao on the right suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck, leaned into his ear as a prank, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: “Is he holding your hand?”
Ding Yinan’s movement of tilting his head just now was too obvious, so it was not surprising that Huo Zhixiao could guess it.
But the question was, what is he doing? Haven’t seen enough fun yet?
Ding Yinan was stunned subconsciously for a moment, not used to Huo Zhixiao’s ambiguous behavior towards him in broad daylight. He wanted to break Huo Zhixiao’s arm at the first moment, but at this time Han Shuo, who was just tentative, suddenly grabbed his hand with all his strength, as if he wanted to shatter the bones of his hand.
Obviously, Han Shuo was very dissatisfied with Huo Zhixiao’s actions.
For a moment, Ding Yinan didn’t know who should break free first, when the elevator reached the floor, he took a step forward, and said to the person standing in front: “Excuse me.” The two people beside him consciously let go of him .
The three walked out of the elevator together, Han Shuo went straight forward and grabbed Ding Yinan’s wrist, and said anxiously, “Wife, let’s talk.”
Ding Yinan’s emotions upheaval have passed, he really needs to talk to Han Shuo about breaking up. He didn’t mind that Han Shuo had intimate interactions with female models when shooting commercials, but he couldn’t stand Han Shuo sacrificing his body in exchange for resources.
There used to be a topic on Weibo, which was more unbearable, mental cheating or physical cheating. In Ding Yinan’s view, both were equally intolerable. Now he also slept with Huo Zhixiao, no matter how he thought about it, he and Han Shuo couldn’t continue.
Ding Yinan originally wanted to take two minutes to speak clearly to Han Shuo, but he glanced at Huo Zhixiao who was standing aside boredly, and saw that he had his hands in his suit pants. That old man seemed to not plan to give them any privacy alone.
Han Shuo followed Ding Yinan’s gaze, frowned and said to Huo Zhixiao, “Can you stay away? We have something to say…”
“We slept.”
Huo Zhixiao spoke slowly, and dropped a heavy bomb, which caused Han Shuo’s expression to crack on his face.
Ding Yinan didn’t think to tell Han Shuo about it as soon as they met. He took a deep breath with a headache, and thought to himself why didn’t he find that Huo Zhixiao was so idle before?
🤦🙄
+1 🤦♀️🙄
So much for a smooth break up 😆
Thanks for the chapter 💞
It was very rude of the boss to insert himself in the conversation like that. If Secretary needed his help, he would have indicated. He’s just being a jerk
