240: A Gaze In The Dark

A Gaze In The Dark

Who on earth had such a power to make their cold boss smile with such glee?1

"Feilin, how long have you been working here?" 

Shi Yuting suddenly lifted his head and asked Feilin who was standing by the door. 

Feilin was stunned.

Their boss usually wore a cold and icy face. He would not speak if he was not required to. Yet, today he had taken the initiative and talked to her? Was this really their boss??

Although Feilin was shocked, she still answered him.

"Three years, sir."

"105% raise for you."

"!!!"

Feilin's eyes widened. She did not hear that wrongly, right?!

105% raise?! 

Feilin was so stunned that she could not find the words to say anything. It was only after a few moments that she recovered from the shock and said, "Thank you, sir!" 

"Now go and prepare the meeting."

"Roger!"

A smile bloomed on Feilin's face as she left the CEO office with joy. 

She never would have expected a 105% raise today! 

The news of Shi Yuting being in a good mood was spread all over the building. No matter what proposal was brought up, each and every one of it was approved!

After they finished afternoon tea, Zuo Weiyi and Shi Nuannuan went shopping for a while. As they were walking, Shi Nuannuan's gaze kept wandering over to Zuo Weiyi, which made her feel a little uneasy. 

"Sister, that call was from my brother, right?"

Shi Nuannuan turned around, she heard the 'I love you' clear as day!

Upon hearing Nuannuan's question, Zuo Weiyi's cheeks flushed red. 

She denied, "It's not!"

"Really?" Shi Nuannuan was not convinced.

"Really!"

Zuo Weiyi nodded and jogged to the exit as if she was escaping Nuannuan's interrogation. "It's late now, let's go home."

When they exited the mall, the sky had indeed turned dark.

Yet, Shi Nuannuan had no plans to return. 

Her brother would not be joining them for dinner anyway, so…

"Weiyi, let's not go back. Let's eat barbeque!"

Zuo Weiyi sat at the back and lifted her head. "Barbeque?"

"Yeah! I know a food alley and their barbeque is the best!" 

Shi Nuannuan then turned to Xiang Yi and ordered, "Go to Chengxi Alley!"

However, after she commanded that, Xiang Yi did not respond. His gaze was wandering outside like he was searching for something.

Shi Nuannuan asked in confusion, "Xiang Yi, what are you looking at?"

Xiang Yi turned his head back when she spoke up again. "Nothing, where do you want to go, Miss?"

"Chengxi Alley!"

"Roger."

He was not sure if he was imagining it, but ever since just now, Xiang Yi felt that someone was following them. 

They were not with the master speaker, so who were they?

Xiang Yi was frowning throughout the journey.

When they arrived at Chengxi Alley, the sky had turned completely dark.

The barbeque street that Shi Nuannuan had mentioned was full of people too. 

They walked to one of the stalls. Most of the people chose to sit outside, only a few people chose indoors. 

Shi Nuannuan was a part of the majority too. Sitting outside while barbequing with beer, that was the best!

After waiting for a while, Shi Nuannuan finally found a place and rushed over to sit down. 

Xiang Yi stood among the crowd, and he could still feel the stalking. The unmoving stare that was following them never once left.

He lifted his head and scanned the area yet he saw no one looking suspicious.
