It's just a toy, why would you care if it breaks?

Chapter 55 Adorable

As night deepened, the bedroom lights were already off, with only moonlight filtering in from the window.

Nan Yan was so exhausted that her whole body went limp, and she leaned against Wei Xun's chest.

"Go to sleep," Wei Xun gently patted his back, his movements as tender as if he were soothing a sleepy kitten.

The fingertips traced the boy's smooth back, pausing briefly on a tiny scar.

The scar was so small that you couldn't even feel it unless you touched it carefully.

But Wei Xun knew that embedded in the spine beneath the scar was a microchip—

That was the mark left on Nan Yan by the Thorn Rose Club, a chip that controlled his destiny.

Wei Xun's eyes darkened, and a sharp pain shot through his heart.

He looked down at the sleeping profile of the person in his arms...

He was such a delicate person, his skin would turn red at the slightest touch and he would burst into tears at the slightest pressure, yet those people did such terrible things to him.

How badly they treated him?

How much suffering did he endure in that dark and gloomy place?

Wei Xun dared not think too deeply about it.

Just thinking about it makes my heart ache like it's being cut by a knife.

He gently tightened his arms, holding Nan Yan even closer, and lowered his head to place a soft kiss on his forehead.

Wei Xun's gaze fell on the bedside table again.

There was a glass bottle there, left over from drinking the milk.

It was washed clean by Nan Yan, and there were three buttons inside.

The black button was the one he gave me last night.

There are also two white shirt buttons, which Nan Yan earned through hard work tonight.

Wei Xun's gaze softened.

This little kitten is really diligently collecting buttons.

Once he has collected a hundred pills, what wish will he make?

What if what Nan Yan wants is too dangerous?

Wei Xun thought for a moment and smiled to himself: He would give him whatever he wanted.

If this little kitten truly desires recognition, then even if it means going against the world, she will lead him by the hand into the spotlight.

...if he wants to.

Wei Xun pulled Nan Yan into his arms again, and his heart finally calmed down.

Wei Xun slept soundly that night.

……

The next morning, Nan Yan was awakened by the sunlight.

He opened his eyes and found the bedroom empty; Wei Xun was no longer beside him.

Nan Yan reached out and touched the bed next to her; it was already cold, so it seemed that Wei Xun had been gone for a while.

He sat up and noticed a note on the bedside table, with Wei Xun's strong and vigorous handwriting on it:

I turned off the alarm so you could sleep in a little longer. I've already called in sick for you from the bakery; get some rest at home.

Nan Yan looked at the note, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past ten o'clock.

After Nan Yan finished washing up, he went downstairs to the living room, where only the teddy bear sat quietly on the carpet, smiling at him.

Nan Yan walked over, hugged the bear's arm, pressed her face against its soft fur, and rubbed against it.

"Big Bear, Mr. Xiong has gone to work." He muttered softly, as if sharing his secret with Big Bear: "He was so fierce last night... No matter how much I called him, he wouldn't stop..."

After sitting with the teddy bear for a while, Nan Yan felt a little bored.

After thinking about it, he decided to make his own lunch.

The refrigerator contains fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy products.

He recalled how Aunt Chen usually cooked, tied on an apron, and quickly prepared lunch.

The tomato and egg stir-fry is bright in color, and the green vegetables are vibrant green, making it look very appetizing.

Nan Yan took out her phone with satisfaction, took a picture of the food, and sent it to Wei Xun.

Wei Xun replied instantly: "It looks delicious."

Nan Yan's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "Would you like some, sir?"

"I want to." Wei Xun's reply was as quick as ever.

Nan Yan was delighted: "Then I'll save one portion for you to eat when you get home tonight, sir."

I want to eat it now.

Nan Yan was stunned, and replied, "Huh?"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Xun sent an address: "18th floor of Wei Group headquarters building, President's office."

Nan Yan stared at the address, her eyes wide.

Does the gentleman want him to deliver the food to the company?

"What, you don't want to bring me food?" Wei Xun's reply was tinged with a hint of teasing.

"No, no!" Nan Yan quickly denied, her fingers flying across the keyboard: "I'm coming right away!"

After sending the message, Nan Yan quickly packed the food into an insulated container and then found a bag to put the container in.

He tidied his hair, making sure he looked clean and tidy, before picking up the bag and heading out.

Nan Yan took a taxi to the headquarters building of the Wei Group.

It was a very tall office building, its glass curtain wall gleaming in the sunlight, looking quite impressive.

Nan Yan stood at the entrance of the building, feeling a little nervous; her palms were sweating.

He took a deep breath and walked into the building.

As soon as he entered the lobby, the security guard at the door took the initiative to step forward and said, "Young Master Nan Yan, hello."

Nan Yan was a little flustered: "You...you know me?"

"Mr. Wei specifically instructed that you don't need to register when you arrive; you can go straight up," the security guard said politely.

"Yes, thank you." Nan Yan was a little surprised.

"You can just take the private elevator over there; it goes directly to the 18th floor."

"Thanks."

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 18th floor.

As soon as the door opened, Nan Yan saw that there were offices on both sides of the corridor, with signs hanging on the door indicating the names of different departments.

As soon as Nan Yan stepped out of the elevator, a female employee approached him and greeted him respectfully, "Young Master Nan Yan, hello. Are you looking for General Manager Wei?"

"Hmm." Nan Yan gripped the bag in her hand tightly, a little nervously.

"President Wei is waiting for you in his office. I'll take you there," the female employee said gently.

Nan Yan followed the female employee forward, and everyone they met along the way stopped to greet them respectfully.

The female employee led him to a door and gently knocked: "President Wei, Young Master Nan Yan has arrived."

"Come in," came Wei Xun's deep voice from inside the office.

The female employee pushed open the door and gestured for Nan Yan to come in.

"Thank you," Nan Yan said, carrying the bag into the office.

The office is large and decorated in a simple yet elegant style.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a bustling city view, and sunlight streams in, illuminating everything in the room.

Wei Xun sat behind a huge desk, wearing a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up to reveal his muscular forearms, with many documents in front of him.

Wei Xun raised his head, his eyes softening: "You're here."

"Sir." Nan Yan walked quickly to him and handed him the bag in her hand: "I've brought you lunch."

"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Xun took the bag, reached out and ruffled Nan Yan's hair, his tone full of affection: "Did you get lost on the way?"

"No, the security guards were very helpful and gave me directions."

Nan Yan looked at Wei Xun's office with sparkling eyes. "Sir, your office is so big!"

"Do you like it?" Wei Xun asked with a smile, taking the insulated box out of the bag and placing it on his desk.

"I like it." Nan Yan nodded, then asked with a hint of worry, "Sir, many people saw me when I came in. Is that alright?"

As Wei Xun opened the insulated food container, he said, "It's alright. You're my family, bringing me food, what's there to be afraid of?"

The word "family" warmed Nan Yan's heart.

It turns out that, in the man's heart, he was family.

Wei Xun opened the insulated box, and the food inside was still steaming, with the aroma of scrambled eggs with tomatoes filling the air.

He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

The dishes were very simple, yet they carried the warmth of home.

"It's delicious." Wei Xun said with a smile, "Our Nan Yan is getting more and more amazing. Not only can she bake, but she can also cook."

Nan Yan blushed slightly upon receiving the praise.

While eating, he talked to Nan Yan, asking him if he felt unwell when he woke up in the morning and if he was bored at home.

The office was quiet, with only the faint sounds of Wei Xun eating and the two talking.

Before long, Wei Xun finished all the food that Nan Yan had brought, even the rice was completely gone.

He put down his chopsticks and picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Seeing this, Nan Yan stepped forward and tried to put the insulated box away, saying, "Sir, I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute." Wei Xun pointed to the office door. "Go and lock the door."

Nan Yan was stunned, looking at him in confusion: "Huh?"

Wei Xun reached out and put his arm around his waist: "Lock the door, let's do something that no one can see."

Nan Yan's face turned red to her ears instantly.

Wei Xun looked at his flushed cheeks and evasive eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He liked seeing Nan Yan's shy and helpless expression, like a little prey that had been caught, which made him want to tease her.

"What, you don't dare?" Wei Xun gently kissed the back of his hand, his tone slightly teasing.

Nan Yan mustered her courage and walked towards the office door.

His steps were a little unsteady, and his hands were trembling. He finally managed to touch the doorknob and locked the door with a "click".

The moment she locked the door, Nan Yan felt her heart beat even faster.

He turned around and saw Wei Xun leaning back in his office chair, looking at him leisurely: "Come here."

Nan Yan walked over step by step.

As soon as she walked up to Wei Xun, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly around the waist.

"Sir..." Nan Yan's voice trembled slightly.

"What are you afraid of?" Wei Xun lowered his head and kissed him.

……

It was unclear how much time had passed before Wei Xun finally released him.

Nan Yan leaned against him, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed.

Wei Xun's eyes were deep: "Nan Yan, do you know? You're so endearing."
