Just as Li You was about to speak, Xue Yang interrupted her. "No matter what it is, since it's in the past, let's not bring it up. I appreciate your kindness, thank you."
"Boss, about the pickles…" Li You pursed her lips, looking hurt.
If anyone else had been there, they would have surely thought that Xue Yang was bullying the young woman.
"Take the pickles back. I don't really eat them, so you don't need to bring any in the future," Xue Yang refused as bluntly as a heartbreaker.
"President Xue, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to express my gratitude. Please don't be angry. If you're worried that your wife will be upset, I'll explain it to her."
Just then, a sweet voice sounded from the doorway.
"Xue Yang… Oh, you're busy? I'll come back later, then."
Lin Xi, carrying a bag of snacks, had rushed in full of enthusiasm. She paused when she saw someone else in Xue Yang's office and instinctively started to back out.
