BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85: Made Him Some Porridge i
Hai Xiaotang ate the dinner she ordered herself.
Dongfang Yu didn’t come back that night, and when Ji Chuan dropped by to help him with his luggage, she found out that he had checked into a new room.
It’s probably for the best that they are not staying in the same place.
Having completely ruined their relationship, she would rather not put up with his displeasing company.
What she didn’t know was, everyone who went out for dinner that night had food poisoning.
It wasn’t too severe, though, minor symptoms included diarrhea.
Two of the designers were hit harder, being racked with both vomiting and diarrhoea to the point of fainting.
They both needed to be hospitalized for several days for a full recovery.
Dongfang Yu was also poisoned. However, after taking medicine, he reassured everyone, acting as nothing had happened, thereby serving as a powerful morale booster for everyone.
But due to the two seriously ill designers, it would be impossible to work efficiently for a few days.
Dongfang Yu immediately arranged for two new designers to rush over to ensure that the bidding process runs smoothly.
One of them was… Lin Xinxin.
Hai Xiaotang was oblivious to the events of the previous night, she slept soundly until morning.
Upon waking up, she ordered breakfast and just stayed in her room, watching TV.
No one came to find her until after lunch.
Just as she was about to go shopping by herself, there was a knock at the door.
It turned out to be Ji Chuan at her door.
He said to her, “Madam, we are planning a city tour in half an hour, would you like to join us?”
“You all can go, 1 don’t want to.” Hai Xiaotang declined politely, she preferred to go out on her own.
Ji Chuan nodded, “Alright, I understand.”
Hai Xiaotang assumed that Dongfang Yu and the others were all going to tour the city and she didn’t want to bump into them, so she stayed in her room for an extra hour before deciding to step out.
With her hat and sunglasses on, Hai Xiaotang stepped out of the door.
There she saw Lin Xinxin approaching from the other side, holding a food tray!
She was taken aback, what was she doing here?!
Seeing her, Lin Xinxin nodded politely, “Madam, hello.”
Hai Xiaotang asked her with a puzzled look, “When did you arrive?”
“I rushed over last night, just arrived not too long ago.”
“…” She knew it, Lin Xinxin was definitely going to show up here.
Hai Xiaotang glanced at the content of the tray, it was a bowl of white rice porridge.
Seeing this, Lin Xinxin quickly explained, “The president is feeling a little unwell and hasn’t eaten anything today, so I asked the kitchen to make some porridge for him…”
As she spoke, she seemed a bit apprehensive about Hai Xiaotang’s reaction.
Nevertheless, as Hai Xiaotang was wearing sunglasses, Lin Xinxin couldn’t read her expression.
“You go ahead and bring it to him.” Hai Xiaotang didn’t even bother to ask why Dongfang Yu was not feeling well, she wasn’t good at faking concern.
Least of all did she want to express sympathy towards him and possibly create a misunderstanding.
With that, she turned to leave.
Lin Xinxin hastily asked, “Madam, where are you going? Shopping?”
Hai Xiaotang spared her a glance and left without a word.
Lin Xinxin watched her retreating figure, a light of comprehension flashing in her eyes, then turned and walked towards Dongfang Yu’s room.
After the food poisoning incident, Dongfang Yu had only taken some medication and did not accept any further treatment.
Although he was much better now, he seemed a bit lethargic, plus his mood was off, and he hadn’t eaten anything all day.
Lin Xinxin arrived just in time to be updated on everything.
While the others went sightseeing, she went to the kitchen to prepare rice porridge for him.
Upon entering the room, she found Dongfang Yu still working.
Ji Chuan was by his side, persuading him, “President, you’re not well, it’d be best to rest more..”
