BXBX NOVEL Chapter 505: 505, it turns out all was bought by the assistant
In the afternoon, Zhong Kai was sitting in his office, feeling sleepy, when suddenly his cell phone rings.
Scanning the caller ID, he’s startled awake. Hurriedly answering the phone with the utmost respect, “Princess, is there something you need?”
“Zhong Kai, can I still buy turtles?”
“Turtles?” Zhong Kai is completely baffled.
Mo Weiyi said, “My pet turtle just died.”
“I see.” Zhong Kai can’t help but want to laugh.
Here he thought it was something serious, but it turns out her little turtle died.
He was actually a bit surprised.
Considering how pampered the little princess was, needing servants to take care of even herself, how could she possibly handle taking care of animals?
He initially thought the two little turtles could last only three days at most, and was surprised that they survived this long.
So, he immediately said, “Little Princess, I’ll go to the flower and bird market to find two new ones for you.”
“Do you know what kind they are?”
“Of course. I personally bought the two little turtles before. I still have the shopkeeper’s number, I’ll call right away and see if he has the same ones.” Zhong Kai enthusiastically said.
Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, “You said, the two little turtles from last time were bought by you?”
“Yes, back then, Mr. Xiao mentioned that the Little Princess did not want jewelry as before, and asked me not to buy jewelry, but to purchase something different. I racked my brains. It was ultimately the shopkeeper who convinced me to buy them, asserting that turtles are easy to care for. I did not expect that you would like this gift so much … Hello, Princess?”
As Zhong Kai was speaking, the call suddenly ended.
He put down his phone, utterly confused.
What happened?
Why did the princess suddenly hang up the phone?
Did he say something wrong?
Upon reflection, he realized he did not.

In her dorm, Mo Weiyi put down her phone and stared at the blue water tank in front of her for a long while.
“Mr. Xiao mentioned that the Little Princess did not want jewelry as before, and asked me not to buy jewelry, but to purchase something different. I racked my brains. It was ultimately the shopkeeper who convinced me to buy them, saying that turtles are easy to care for. I did not expect that you would like this gift so much …”
Mo Weiyi suddenly wanted to laugh.
So these two little turtles were not bought by Xiao Yebai, but by his assistant.
She had been baffled as to why her wedding anniversary gift would be two little turtles?
She really was silly.
Silly to the point of making up so many lame reasons…
When Zhong Kai called again, Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and slid the call connect button, “Zhong Kai.”
“Princess, why did you hang up just now? Did…did I say something wrong?” Zhong Kai cautiously asked.
He’d been thinking hard about it, worrying that somewhere he’d misspoke, unintentionally offending the princess.
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “No, I entered the elevator and lost signal, causing the call to cut off.”
“Ah, I see.” Zhong Kai sighed in relief, “Princess, about the turtles…”
“No need to buy them.”
“Ah?”
“Zhong Kai.” Mo Weiyi suddenly changed the subject, “I accidentally damaged my favorite jade necklace yesterday. Can I send you a picture and you take a look for me?”
“Okay.”
Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, went to her desk, and dug out the jade necklace.
This necklace was a birthday gift Xiao Yebai had given her on her nineteenth birthday.
Like all other gifts, they were sent via Zhong Kai.
She had never doubted it before.
Because Xiao Yebai was a workaholic, it’s understandable that he was too busy to select and deliver the gifts himself.
Until Zhong Kai admitted that he had bought those two little turtles…
Mo Weiyi wanted to test something.
She quickly snapped a photo, sending it via WeChat to Zhong Kai, [Do you know this brand?]
Zhong Kai immediately replied, [I do, I’m very familiar with the shop owner.]
[You’re familiar with him?]
[Yes, all of the princess’s jewelry was bought by me from this shop. Don’t worry, if it can’t be fixed, I will have the boss remake the exact same one.]
Mo Weiyi replied with a smile, [Alright, thank you.]
Zhong Kai was earnest and frightened, [Princess, you’re too kind.]
He followed this with a blushing emoji.

Zhong Kai indeed felt quite shocked.
The princess of the Mo family was always aloof and capricious, this was the first time he’d seen her thank him so politely.
It was truly strange!
Just then, the intercom rings. Zhong Kai hastily picks up, “Mr. Xiao.”
“Come in.”
“Yes, Mr. Xiao.”
Zhong Kai snagged his notebook and quickly rushed to the CEO’s office.
The man sitting behind the black desk began to speak in a calm and collected manner, “Did you finalize the annual summary?”
“Only the marketing department’s is missing. I’ll compile all of them before the end of the day.”
“What’s the progress on the Jiangbei demolition?”
“The project leader called me this morning. Almost all negotiations with local residents have been completed. The few stubborn households have been placated. As soon as the demolition order comes, we can start the next phase.”
Xiao Yebai continued to ask several work-related questions.
From start to finish, he maintained a poker face, his voice low. Occasionally glancing up, his gaze was eerily black.
Zhong Kai felt immense pressure just being watched by those eyes.
Although Mr. Xiao was always serious about work, Zhong Kai’s sixth sense as a man was telling him that lately, Mr. Xiao was taking his dedication to work to the extreme.
