Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1060 - 1059: A Smile Over the Shoulder

"Little Sun. Haven’t you finished work? Why are you back? Didn’t finish your work?"

Han Ning asked without raising her head because she knew that usually, only the two of them worked overtime in this department, while others seldom did.

Suzhou looked around, and there was no one else nearby, just Han Ning in the company.

Is this little girl working overtime here?

"Why? Haven’t you finished your work yet? It’s this late already, shouldn’t you be going home to see your grandma?"

Suzhou suddenly spoke. Han Ning heard something odd in his tone and got startled, spilling her coffee on her clothes.

At this hour, shouldn’t the boss not be here?

How come he’s here?

Suzhou saw Han Ning’s surprised expression; why, shouldn’t he be able to come and go from his company as he pleases?

"What, you seem a bit unwelcoming. What’s the matter, feeling guilty? Come on, did you do something against the company?" Suzhou joked.

He knew the little girl before him had come over secretly to work overtime. Indeed, the company’s business was quite challenging for someone who’s not a professional.

"Ah, no, no, Chairman, don’t misunderstand. My work isn’t finished yet, and I don’t want our project to fall behind schedule, so I came over to work during the holiday. I didn’t mean anything else; please don’t think too much." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

With that, Han Ning quickly bowed her head back to work.

After all, the big boss isn’t someone you provoke easily.

"Alright, I understand. You go ahead and work overtime here; I’ll be inside. If anything comes up, you can call me directly."

Han Ning nodded. It turned out her boss was kind in his own way, something she hadn’t noticed before.

Oh well, better not overthink it. A person like the boss probably has a fiancée or something. They are in completely different leagues.

What am I daydreaming about?

Han Ning patted her own face and focused back on her work. This job was hard-earned, and she had to do it well.

Throughout the office, the sound of keyboard typing filled the air.

Han Ning, engrossed in her work, didn’t realize it was late and that she’d missed dinner time.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was the alarm she set, reminding her to put her work down for some relaxation time.

If she were home, Han Ning would certainly be binge-watching dramas or something.

But for now, it was better to fill her belly; nothing was more important than eating.

She tidied up her desk, ready to go out for dinner. Just then, she noticed that the light in the boss’s office was still on.

Turns out, the hardest worker in the company was him.

Knock, knock, knock, Han Ning knocked on the office door, knowing Suzhou was surely inside.

"Boss, it’s so late already. Why don’t we head home first? After all, health is the most important thing, right?"

Han Ning knew that long hours of overtime were unhealthy.

She thought she could persuade Suzhou, but unexpectedly, this man who normally didn’t talk much was quite chatty today.

"What, have you finished all the work I gave you? It’s still early; don’t you know as an employee you can’t leave when the boss hasn’t left?"

Suzhou said with a straight face.

Unbeknownst to him, Han Ning was even more baffled inside. Wasn’t today the Double Ninth Festival, a holiday? Why was he talking about overtime?

Could it be her boss forgot, which was possible given how busy he usually was?

Suzhou saw Han Ning fall silent and went quiet himself. Honestly, he didn’t know why he was acting differently today. He just didn’t want Han Ning to leave early, hoping she would stay here with him for a while, even if they did nothing.

Moreover, he was the Sect Leader of the company; everything must follow his decisions, right?

But this time, he had really dug himself a huge hole.

"Boss, I know what you’re saying is right, but I want to say that today is the Double Ninth Festival. Didn’t you give us a day off? So, do you think I can skip overtime today?"

Han Ning had originally planned to go home today.

To head home early and accompany her grandma. She hadn’t expected Suzhou would not let her off work, which left her feeling puzzled.

"Ahem, yes, but since you came to work overtime already, why don’t I leave, and do you think you can leave early?"

Indeed, there’s some truth to what Suzhou said.

How could an employee leave early if the boss hasn’t left?

Seeing this, Han Ning realized she couldn’t leave early and could only wait until her big boss left to go home herself.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have come to work overtime today. What was she thinking?

Why pick the Double Ninth Festival to work overtime?

"Hmm? What are you muttering over there? Speak up and share it with me?"

If her big boss found out she was cursing him, how could she keep her job in this company? Seriously.

"Ah, no, nothing, Boss, don’t overthink it. I was just saying you look good."

Suzhou knew Han Ning wasn’t complimenting him. He could tell from her lip movements just now.

Han Ning was well aware.

So, Han Ning returned to her original work position. Initially, she didn’t plan to work, instead took out her phone and started flipping through TikTok. Isn’t it nice?

However, within a few minutes of playing with her phone, Suzhou noticed. It was a bit awkward, but Suzhou wasn’t much older than her — didn’t he play TikTok too?

At this moment, Han Ning was racking her brain for excuses to shirk responsibility.

If her boss found out she didn’t want to work and was here playing on her phone, how else could he know?

"Boss, I just lost my inspiration, so playing with my phone for a bit isn’t too much, right? Besides, I wasn’t doing anything, just played a bit on my phone."

Han Ning knew that no matter how much she explained, it was no use since Suzhou had personally caught her playing with her phone.

More explanations wouldn’t be believed. Seeing Suzhou standing silently by her side, she got even more anxious.

What should she do now?

"Boss, I really wasn’t intentionally playing with my phone. It was just a little entertainment. Please don’t get mad. Besides, getting angry over someone like me isn’t good, right?"
