Chapter 22.1 - Will be better
– Translator: alliephant
There is a kind of person, the better you treat her, the more she’ll not be satisfied and the more she will want[1].
No one has elucidated this sentence more perfectly than Lou Yao Yao.
An hour ago, Qin Zhi called her to wake up. She said to give her another five minutes. Half an hour ago, she said to give her another five minutes again. When he heard Lou Yao Yao asking for another five minutes, for the third time, even Qin Zhi got a little irritated.
Just a few days ago was the end of the examinations, so it was okay to be lazy for a few days. However, today was Lou Yao Yao’s first day at work, and if she dilly-dallied more, she would be late.
Fang Xilei had a swift and resolute character. The last time, Lou Yao Yao just conveniently mentioned the matter about the internship, and so, right after the examinations were over, the internship’s date was arranged. Lou Yao Yao felt that she had unspeakable bitter suffering. Originally, she planned to go travelling with Qin Zhi for a while, but now, they could only put this plan on hold.
She originally slept very early last night. But you can’t count on the mischievous Lou Yao Yao to really behave and fall asleep.
Looking at Lou Yao Yao curled up and acting dead on the bed, Qin Zhi who has not had a temper for many years really freaked out a bit. He coaxed and persuaded Lou Yao Yao to wake up, but the result was that Lou Yao Yao half-opened her eyes and pitifully said, “Tired”. Tired? Whose fault was it? Who asked her to sleep without behaving herself!

In the end, there were no other options, Qin Zhi had to hug Lou Yao Yao’s waist and carry her up. Lou Yao Yao’s hands and legs weakly hung down, as if she had no bones, just softly hanging on his hand. Qin Zhi saw and felt both angry and amused.
Carrying Lou Yao Yao to the bathroom, and placing her in front of the sink, he put both of his hands surrounding her chest to prevent her from falling. Afterwards, he squeezed the toothpaste out onto the toothbrush, and discontentedly said, “It can’t be that you’ll even make me brush your teeth?”
“Ah.” Lou Yao Yao opened her mouth with her eyes closed.
Qin Zhi directly put the toothbrush into her mouth, and then supported her body: “Brush it yourself.”
Lou Yao Yao took out the toothbrush in her mouth, and had a miserable look on her face. She quickly picked up the cup of water to rinse her mouth. It was really too disgusting to have a mouthful of toothpaste.
Seeing Lou Yao Yao’s contorted expression as she continuously rinsed her mouth, Qin Zhi knew that she had completely woken up now. He let go of her and went out of the bathroom.
She made a funny face towards Qin Zhi’s back and started to slowly brush her teeth. Okay, in fact, she woke up very early. Although she was still a little sleepy, it was not till the point of being unable to get out of bed, but she just wanted to tease Qin Zhi. Being used to seeing his serious appearance, she always felt that his aggrieved look when he was angered but could only sulk and bear with it himself, was particularly amusing.
She seemed to be a little addicted, and always wanted to see him angry. When he was angry, she became so excited.
Qin Zhi did not know her bad thoughts, and worked hard to find the clothes she wanted to wear, and fried two slices of ham and an egg for her, and also warmed a cup of hot milk.
When he finished all this, Lou Yao Yao was already dressed properly. She was wearing a woman’s suit that she matched herself today. On the top half of her body, she wore a white semi-V-neck shirt, and on the bottom half, a black western skirt. It looked exquisite and simple. Her long hair was combed neatly at the back of her head. Her way of dressing was entirely like that of a skilled professional woman.
However, the style was very different from her cute and lovely face.
“How is it? Do you think I became mature?” Lou Yao Yao turned a circle in front of Qin Zhi smugly.
Saying words against his conscience, Qin Zhi did not know how many times he had already said so to Lou Yao Yao, but this time he really did not want to say such words. He still had some grievances currently, so he did not cooperate and said: “I can’t tell”.
Lou Yao Yao bared her teeth to him. The mature and intelligent temperature of a professional woman was completely ruined.
Qin Zhi knocked on his right wrist with his left index finger: “Give you another ten minutes.”
Lou Yao Yao snorted, and sat down for breakfast. She brushed her teeth again after finishing her breakfast, and the time was just right, just a little bit more to ten minutes.
Qin Zhi first sent Lou Yao Yao to the commercial street before driving to work. The Fang family occupied a whole building in the commercial street. Several floors at the bottom were the store and the floors above were office space. Their main business was clothing and, of course, matters related to fashion were also slightly involved.
Fang Xilei, as the boss of the company, naturally would not come to pick Lou Yao Yao up in person, but sent a female secretary Lin to pick her up.

This middle-aged secretary naturally knew the identity of Lou Yao Yao, and was quite enthusiastic towards her. She gave some advice to Lou Yao Yao, accompanied her to complete the procedures to officially join as an employee, and sent her to the design department.
