Chapter 322: Chapter 323: Sneak in to Warm the Bed

Song Xiaodong really wanted to refuse. An entire company, a dozen or so billion—if he truly wanted to earn money, he could easily do so, given there are so many billionaires in the world; and the richer they are, the more they value their health, so it was just too easy to get some money from them. Hence, he never really had much of a concept of money.

"Do you want money?" Song Xiaodong asked.

Miao Qingqing grabbed Song Xiaodong’s hand and said, "No, I’m asking for your help at the company. I honestly feel so alone right now. Not only have most of the shareholders been pulled away by him, but even many of the senior executives in the company are going against me in secret. I’m truly exhausted."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "And what’s in it for me?"

Miao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, "What more do you want? You’ve got me already, isn’t that your responsibility? At the very worst, let Qingqing warm your bed today and sleep with you."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "That’s actually not a bad idea."

Miao Qingqing’s face turned dark, and she glared at Miao Xuanxuan before turning to Song Xiaodong and said, "Although I don’t want to sell myself, if you really do solve the company’s problems, then I..." She bit her lip, firmly saying, "Even if it means doing what Xuanxuan said, I would agree."

Song Xiaoru chuckled softly and said, "Dongzi, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and agree. Later on, take Qingqing as your wife, and if you can give me a couple of little nephews later, that would be splendid."

Blushing, Miao Qingqing said, "Sister Xiaoru, I surely can’t agree to having children right now, with so much going on at the company."

Song Xiaoru immediately said, "I’m just teasing you. Although I like kids, I can’t force you to have them right away. With the company having so many problems and being so busy, you should prioritize your career. In a few years, when the company is stable, it won’t be too late to have them."

Song Xiaodong was just kidding, but watching Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing discuss having children so seriously, he truly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Also, he felt a bit guilty as he stole a glance at Miao Xuanxuan.

Miao Xuanxuan had a smiling face and said, "Having a little nephew seems like it could be quite fun," showing no displeasure whatsoever.

"Alright, alright, I’ll do it. Do you need to be so serious?" Song Xiaodong gave in.

However, Miao Qingqing was very serious as she looked at Song Xiaodong and said, "Dongzi, I’m not forcing you; I’m begging you to help me. I’m truly isolated now; in the company, there are very few people I can truly trust."

Looking at Miao Qingqing, Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Alright then, I’ll give it a try, but let’s stick to what we said last time. I’ll just be a carefree assistant manager in the HR department."

"You..." Miao Qingqing frowned slightly.

Song Xiaodong patted Miao Qingqing’s shoulder and said, "I feel that taking full control is the only way to be effective, right?"

After a brief hesitation, Miao Qingqing said, "Fine, let’s settle on that then."

"By the way, Qingqing, under what pretense will you arrange for Dongzi to enter the company?" Song Xiaoru asked at this point.

Miao Qingqing had already considered this question and promptly said, "If I directly use my name to arrange for Dongzi to join, that would not be good. Since you are my assistant, let’s just say he is your brother. This way, even if others have some objections, they won’t say much."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Seems like my sister holds quite the position in the company now."

Song Xiaoru rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, "What did you expect? The chairman’s personal assistant is even more powerful than an average manager," and then she laughed herself.

Around ten o’clock, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. While Song Xiaodong was half asleep, the door was gently pushed open, and then someone tiptoed in.

Song Xiaodong immediately woke up and, by the silhouette, it was clear it was not his sister, so it had to be either Miao Xuanxuan or Miao Qingqing. If it were Miao Qingqing, maybe she was moved because he had agreed to help with the company and came by night to grant him a favor; it would be quite normal. If it were Miao Xuanxuan, even though they had said they’d broken up, they both knew that the feelings hadn’t been forgotten.

The person slowly made their way to Song Xiaodong’s bedside and just stood there watching him, not moving an inch for a long while.

Curious, Song Xiaodong wondered whether it was Miao Qingqing or Miao Xuanxuan who had come to his room in the dead of night and what exactly they were there for. Was it to offer themselves to warm the bed?

As Song Xiaodong anticipated what would happen next, the person slowly climbed onto the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down next to him, gently poking him and saying, "Dongzi, I know you haven’t fallen asleep yet. Stop pretending."

"Ahem, how did you know that?" Song Xiaodong also felt a bit embarrassed.

"Dongzi, I’m really thankful for today, that you’ve agreed to help with the company."

With these words, it was clearly Miao Qingqing. Song Xiaodong turned to look at her in the dark, saying, "Is that why you’ve come to warm my bed?"

Miao Qingqing replied, "I keep my promises, don’t I? Or else would you continue to help me in the future?"

"Does that mean I can now take some liberties with you?" Song Xiaodong asked with a teasing smile.

Miao Qingqing tensed up, grabbing his hand and said in a soft, vulnerable voice, "Dongzi, let’s give it some time, please promise me."

Song Xiaodong smiled gently and said, "In that case, you really shouldn’t have come tonight."

At that moment, however, Miao Qingqing let go of Song Xiaodong’s hand, turned around, snuggled into his embrace, hugged his back tightly, and said, "But I missed you, is that okay?"

Song Xiaodong was stunned; he really hadn’t expected Miao Qingqing to say something like that. For a woman often perceived as cold and aloof, such words were exceedingly rare.

This stirred a deep excitement in Song Xiaodong’s heart, and he immediately hugged Miao Qingqing tightly in response.
