Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1142 - 1146: It’s Not Comfortable Hugging Someone All Bones

The meeting centered around the development of a new project slated for a year-end launch. Consequently, all departments regarded it with utmost importance, especially finance and sales, as the project's expenditure and subsequent sales figures were critical.

Every detail held significant weight, and with Beitang Yao's direct involvement, departments intensified their efforts even further, recognizing the potential impact on their career paths, promotions, and salary increments.

During the meeting, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her. It was fleeting, causing her hand to pause on the keyboard for a few seconds before she regained her composure. In that brief moment of lost focus, crucial information was not entered into the computer, leading to a reprimand from Beitang Yao.

A slight stinging sensation pricked her nose, but she suppressed her tears, determined not to appear weak. Beitang Yao's demanding expectations were clearly taking a toll on her well-being, manifesting as frequent dizzy spells and occasional queasiness.

Initially, she had considered asking Ye Feng for assistance, but Ye Feng served as Beitang Yao's personal bodyguard; she lacked the standing to demand his attention.

It wasn't until after the meeting concluded that Beitang Yao escorted Xia Qingqian away from the company premises, taking her to a Western restaurant for a meal.

"Eat it all!" Seeing her lose focus during the meeting had unsettled him; he surmised this naive woman must not be eating enough, resulting in low blood sugar. "You can't even manage your own health, yet you claim you'll cook for me someday!" he grumbled.

Xia Qingqian looked at Beitang Yao, a touch of bewilderment in her gaze. While his tone sounded displeased, there was an underlying current that was difficult to decipher.

Her heart fluttered slightly, a gentle smile gracing her lips. She lowered her head to the meal Beitang Yao had ordered, her heart swelling with profound joy.

"Your entire body is just skin and bones; you're practically wasting away! Hugging you isn't comfortable at all!" His gaze swept over her, from head to toe, expressing a hope that Xia Qingqian might gain some weight.

He personally favored women with a bit more substance, finding them more comforting and secure to hold during the night. Xia Qingqian, however, was so slender, lacking any notable curves. He couldn't help but wonder if she had suffered from malnutrition since childhood, as she never seemed to gain weight regardless of how much she consumed.

Her boney frame genuinely bothered him. "I'm giving you three days to put on some weight!" he declared. He had initially thought one day would suffice! For these next three days, he would allow her body to recuperate properly. She was not in a suitable condition for certain activities right now, so he would provide her with a legitimate reason to rest and recover.

As he was speaking, his phone on the table began to ring. Xia Qingqian, recognizing the melody, instinctively glanced up at the illuminated screen; the caller was Ziqian.

Such an intimate name indeed. Seeing it made the current dish taste like ashes in her mouth, dampening her spirits. Gu Ziqian's words echoed relentlessly in her mind; if Gu Ziqian discovered her fiancé was with another woman, what would Gu Ziqian think?

Had she known about his engagement at the auction, she never would have agreed to accompany him. But in this world, there are no 'what ifs.'

Beitang Yao paused for a moment before answering the call. A soft, feminine voice inquired about his return date to the country. Beitang Yao shot Xia Qingqian a meaningful look before lowering his voice as much as possible, "Ziqian, Ye Feng will pick you up first to head back. I still have some matters to attend to."
