Chapter 2345: Chapter 2349: Happiness Is Bubbling Over

"You still have a conscience, kid."

Gently inhaling the aroma wafting from the pot, Xu Xia slightly raised the corners of her lips, reaching out to grab a bun.

Her eyes caught a note beside the bun, and she curiously leaned in to read it. It said:

"Dummy, did you drink water or not? Wash your hands first before grabbing anything. Are you a kindergartener or something? Also, remember to wear gloves when handling the bowls!"

"You’re the dummy!"

Xu Xia pouted, retorting back. She turned around and washed her hands anyway, then thought about it and returned to the room to take the cup from the bedside table, sipping it while walking back out.

The temperature of the water in the insulated cup was just right, warming her stomach without burning her mouth.

After drinking a few sips of hot water, Xu Xia finally took a hot bun in her mouth, put down the cup, and picked up a bowl. Her fingers felt the heat from the pot, quickly retracting them, and she grabbed the gloves from the stove next to her, put them on, and carried the porridge and buns out to the dining table outside.

Only now did she notice that at some point, a bouquet of red roses had been placed in the vase on the dining table.

Looking at the roses, Xu Xia just smiled out loud.

"Come on, get a bit creative instead of copying others by sending flowers."

Seeing the card on the bouquet, she chuckled and picked it up to open it.

On the card was Leng Zirui’s handwriting, somewhat casual yet deeply penetrating.

"Your heart must be bubbling with happiness, right? Eat well and mind your teeth, don’t lose them in there."

"That’s ridiculous!"

Xu Xia scoffed, yet carefully tucked the card into her pocket, smiling as she returned to the table to eat, taking a bite of the bun, glancing at the flowers opposite her, smiling with her eyes but toothlessly, just as Leng Zirui had expected.

On the table, her phone rang.

Xu Xia grabbed a bun and ran into the living room, picked up the phone, glanced at Lan Zi’s call, and immediately answered. As soon as the call connected, Lan Zi’s voice came through, "I’m downstairs now, about to come up. You two better get dressed so I don’t get an eyesore."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Xia’s face warmed up, "Come on up, I’m alone."

"Then open the door, I’m outside."

Xu Xia walked over to open the door, letting her in, "What, did you fly here?"

"Has the General left?" Lan Zi peeked inside to confirm Leng Zirui wasn’t there, then rolled her eyes at Xu Xia, "I’m just trying to avoid awkwardness for you two. Is it easy being a manager? Oh, and I brought your luggage back. That’s not the main reason, though. There’s something urgent, otherwise, I wouldn’t disturb your twosome world."

"What’s up?" Xu Xia asked, biting into her bun.

Lan Zi sighed, "Seo Na suddenly had appendicitis last night and just finished surgery. There’s a performance tonight, and the company decided to have you substitute for her; otherwise, there’s no way to account for it over there."

Seo Na is also a singer with EM, a bit less famous compared to Xu Xia. If Xu Xia went to save the day, the other party couldn’t complain, which is why they considered Xu Xia for the substitution.

"Alright, no problem." Xu Xia agreed without even thinking.

Considering the potential loss for EM, and the fact that her personal reasons have been causing considerable losses for the company lately, Xu Xia naturally wouldn’t refuse the chance to do something for the company.

"It’s not in Beijing, it’s out of town." Lan Zi hesitated slightly, looking at her, "The General won’t be angry, will he?"
