Ning Xi shook her head and quickly ended the dangerous and ambiguous "teacher-student" talk. She then switched to employee mode, raised her hand, and said primly…
"Boss, I would like to apply for a period of consideration without disturbances!"
After thinking about it, Lu Tingxiao agreed without reservation: "Granted, how many days do you want?"
Ning Xi counted with her fingers, then said weakly, "Um, can I count in years?"
"I’ll give you seven days." Lu Tingxiao ignored her unreasonable request and made the decision for her.
"Okay… seven days it is! Then, after I leave the hospital tomorrow, can I stay at my apartment for the time being? You just agreed, no disturbances! Little Treasure isn't home, and I need to be at the company the day after tomorrow, and the apartment’s a little closer to it!" Ning Xi did her best to give a legitimate reason.
"You can." Lu Tingxiao nodded without the slightest hesitation.
