Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 889: Not a Qualified Overbearing CEO

Duan Jianchuan, upon hearing this, vehemently denied: "No, I didn’t, you stop making things up. Who’s like him?"

Qing Yue chuckled twice.

...

After Jiangli returned, she was still a bit dazed, feeling that what happened tonight was very... peculiar.

The course of events was entirely unexpected for her.

However, she didn’t dwell on it too much.

Fu Shiyan had helped them a lot, and since she also took advantage of his flight ticket, buying some hangover medicine was no big deal.

Thinking this, Jiangli went to rest.

Unexpectedly, that night, she slept very well and didn’t have any random, chaotic dreams.

Jiangli slept until dawn, and when she opened her eyes, it was already past six in the morning.

She picked up her phone to check the time, and just as she was about to get up, she heard knocking on the door.

Jiangli got out of bed while calling out, "Wait a moment."

Fu Shiyan’s voice came from outside, "Okay, take your time."

Jiangli was stunned upon hearing that voice.

Is that... Fu Shiyan?

Up so early?

Raising her eyebrows, Jiangli changed her clothes and quickly washed up. After opening the door, she saw Fu Shiyan and Qing Yue all standing outside the door.

Including Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng.

Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng were standing a bit farther away in a corner, looking somewhat pitiful.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Fu Shiyan looked at Jiangli and then started speaking with a smile.

His demeanor was still calm and composed, showing no signs of the adorable drunken state from the night before.

Jiangli stared at Fu Shiyan, with images of his child-like behavior from last night floating in her mind.

She coughed and said, "It was fine. How about you, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Shiyan smiled, "After taking the hangover medicine, I feel much better."

Jiangli tried to test the waters, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

Fu Shiyan paused, seemingly a bit puzzled, "I only remember that Lili promised to buy me hangover medicine. This morning, I saw the medicine in my room—isn’t it from Lili?" freēwēbnovel.com

This implies that he had forgotten everything that happened last night?

Jiangli felt somewhat regretful, but perhaps it was for the best.

Otherwise, it might be a bit awkward.

Jiangli then said, "Yes, I bought it. It’s good that you’re okay, Mr. Fu. But why are you all here so early? Are you not busy today?"

Fu Shiyan joked, "Hmm, today I’m not exactly a diligent CEO—there’s nothing much to do. I heard from Xia Xin that you are going to Lingbi Mountain. I thought I’d join you to relax; you wouldn’t refuse, would you, Lili?"

Jiangli’s gaze turned to Xia Xin, her eyes full of inquiry.

Xia Xin covered her mouth and coughed lightly, barely nodding, indicating... that Fu Shiyan was indeed telling the truth.

Early this morning, she and Yan Guofeng left their room planning to find their ancestor and head to Lingbi Mountain together.

But unexpectedly, they bumped into Fu Shiyan and Duan Jianchuan outside.

It seemed that Fu Shiyan and the others were returning from somewhere, and seeing them, he asked why they were up so early.

Xia Xin could only vaguely say that they were planning to go to Lingbi Mountain.

Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan and others expressed their desire to join.

Xia Xin didn’t know how to refuse, so she muddled along and came with them to wait outside Jiangli’s room.

"Why, is it not okay?" Fu Shiyan raised an eyebrow, noticing the exchange of glances between the two, and his eyes fixated on Jiangli.

It seemed as though if Jiangli refused, he would show a disappointed expression.

Jiangli felt somewhat uncomfortable refusing, and she didn’t want to see that pitiful look on Fu Shiyan’s face.
