Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 960: Chapter 964: You Dare Sleep During My Meeting?

”Xia Qingqian—” A pleasant male voice sounded from behind, and at the moment she heard her name, Xia Qingqian trembled and responded, ”Here!” Actually, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into so that nobody could see her.

She slowly turned around, and it was a very clean and gentle-looking boy standing in the sunlight. He extended his hand towards her, a handkerchief resting in his palm, and said softly, ”You are Xia Qingqian... right?” His face carried a hint of shyness.

Xia Qingqian was stunned. No one had ever spoken to her this way. She nodded blankly in her shock but dared not approach him.

”Xia Qingqian.” He called softly again, and she, as if on instinct, shivered and replied, ”Here!” The shadows cast by those childhood bullies were hard to erase.

”You don’t need to be so nervous, I’m not like them. I’m Qiao Zhenyu, pleased to meet you.” He held back a laugh as he walked over to Xia Qingqian, using the handkerchief to wipe her dirty face.

After the meeting ended, everyone left one after another. But before leaving, they glanced at Xia Qingqian, who was dozing off, all whispering about how the president’s secretary was so audacious to sleep during such an important meeting. It was truly remarkable!

Beitang Yao, without any expression on his face, looked cold. He gazed at Xia Qingqian for a long while, finally parting his lips that had been pressed into a line, and furrowed his brow as he called coldly, ”Xia Qingqian!”

”Here!” Xia Qingqian, in her daze, heard those bully kids calling her again. The tone, the voice, it was just too similar!

Xia Qingqian hurriedly sat up straight, the hand holding the pen scribbling wildly on the paper, her other hand swinging upwards and hitting something.

She opened her eyes and realized she was in a meeting, her whole body in shock. She quickly pretended to scribble notes, praying that no one had seen her slacking off!

Howl— Beitang Yao got punched by Xia Qingqian’s swing, right on his handsome face. Caught off guard, he fell back into the large black leather chair, clutching the pain with a muffled grunt!

Who would have thought this seemingly meek woman’s punch could be so strong, even managing to knock down this Taekwondo expert! If this gets out, wouldn’t it be a huge joke?

”Xia Qingqian, how dare you sleep in a meeting I am presiding over? Are you tired of living, or do you just not want to live?” Beitang Yao shook his head, trying to shake off the sparks that popped out.

Xia Qingqian’s gaze lifted from under her lowered eyelids, and suddenly her whole body broke out in a cold sweat, even her little heart trembling continuously.

She got caught sleeping in the meeting? The punch she just threw hit Beitang Yao? She had never experienced a poker face before, but now she finally knew what it felt like.

She smiled apologetically, ”Young Master, I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t mean it!” She truly hadn’t intended to fall asleep in the meeting. During the entire meeting, she had been nothing more than an invisible secretary. Even the department manager sat in the back row for the meeting, yet she was sitting right next to Beitang Yao, taking notes.

Besides, the whole meeting was the elites in verbal debate. As she listened, the drowsiness came over her, it wasn’t that she was unprofessional or wanted to slack off, it was the drowsiness that came to find her...
