Chapter 18 Office Romances Are Prohibited

The next day.

When Mu An woke up, the first thing he did was pick up his phone from the bedside and open the Myriad Worlds Gate App.

[Daily contribution from employee Nina has been issued.]

[Current favorability: 70. Congratulations, you have received rewards: Gold Coins +70, Skill Proficiency +7000!]

[Transmigration feature cooldown remaining: 12 hours, 32 minutes, and 28 seconds.]

[Time remaining for current automatic AFK Cultivate feature: 12 hours.]

[Double multiplier card is still in effect, currently accumulated Skill Proficiency: 7200 (600/hour).]

The corners of Mu An's mouth couldn't help but curl upward slightly.

Waking up to a pile of rewards—how could it be described as anything less than 'satisfying'?

It was just that the Transmigration feature also required a 24-hour cooldown after actively returning to the real world, which was quite unexpected for Mu An.

By the way.

Thanks to the 'lavish' feast yesterday, the favorability of this little girl, Nina, had increased by another five points, currently breaking through the 70-point mark.

One could only say she was worthy of being his number one employee!

Her level of effort was truly worthy of praise!

"Mm... Good morning, Boss..."

Because Mu An had drawn the curtains, the morning light rushed into the previously dim room.

Nina, who was sleeping in the aisle by the bed, also sat up, her shoulder-length short hair slightly messy.

Those fluffy ears twitched from time to time as if they were doing rehabilitation exercises.

She rubbed her eyes while yawning and greeted Mu An.

"How did you sleep?"

The weather was hot yesterday, and he was afraid Nina would be too hot in the middle of the night.

After 'becoming rich', Mu An had also rarely turned on the air conditioning.

Seeing the young girl's cute cat ears, out of 'obsessive-compulsive disorder', he couldn't help but reach out to 'stop' those ears that kept twitching from time to time.

The reason he used to convince himself in his heart was:

[Huh? Why is your head so pointy? Let me see! (Jie Ge-style mischievous smirk)]

"Mm, very well! I haven't slept this soundly in a long time!"

Nina stuck out her little tongue cutely.

She wasn't lying.

In a place like the Underground Labyrinth where there could be danger at any time, even in the camp, one needed to be vigilant at all times.

Otherwise, one might pass away in their sleep one day.

But by Mu An's side, she slept very peacefully, just like when her mother held her when she was a child.

However.

Being touched suddenly by Mu An on such a sensitive part as her cat ears, the young girl's pretty face instantly flushed red like a boiling teapot.

If this were some strange anime world, she might have already turned into a 'steam girl' with white steam rising from her head.

"Bo... Boss, an demi-human's tail and ears are very sensitive areas, generally only future partners or family members can touch them..."

"But i... if it's Boss... it's okay!"

Nina shyly closed her eyes, her petite body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she explained in a low voice.

At this moment, the young girl's blush surpassed all the love words in the world.

And hearing this.

Mu An's large hand, which was still 'petting the cat', instantly froze.

If it were the real world, he would probably have committed the serious crime of 'sexual harassment'.

Then be fiercely beaten by some existences whose real names cannot be mentioned, and finally receive a 'jail time' package that includes room and board?

"That... breakfast, um, it's time to have breakfast..."

Mu An immediately withdrew his 'dishonest' large hand, smiled awkwardly, and stiffly changed the subject.

Not long ago, he had just suffered a serious 'love injury' and deeply understood what it meant to have a 'boundless sea of love'.

One could only say that the water here was too deep, he couldn't handle it at all, and for the time being, he didn't quite dare to touch the young girl's fiery and pure Soul.

If one really wanted to know the reason, it was...

No office romances allowed!

Um, at least not for now!

...

Early in the morning.

Bai Ningfu, this 'sucker', arrived downstairs where Mu An lived.

Forced by her younger sister's 'tyranny' (terrifying strength), she had no choice but to honestly follow the other party's requirements.

But...

Making her, a wealthy Young Miss who had almost never apologized to anyone since she was born, apologize.

This seemed to be quite difficult.

Bai Ningfu was troubled, hesitating, and could only keep doing 'apology simulation' training at the entrance of the building.

The humble version.

"Ahem... Sorry, I spoke too loudly yesterday, I hope you can forgive me, I beg you."

The sweet, cutesy girl version.

"Oh my, brother, I already know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

The arrogant whip-wielding queen version.

"Heh, man, if you dare not to forgive me, you will be sunk to the bottom of the sea tonight!"

But as soon as these words were spoken, Bai Ningfu waved her hands repeatedly and decisively rejected them.

If she dared to say something about sinking that kid Mu An to the bottom of the sea, she estimated that her sister, that 'husband-protecting maniac', would sink her to the bottom of the sea first.

Perhaps before being sunk to the bottom of the sea, Bai Ningyu would even use the sword in her hand to chop her into eighteen pieces!

"Forget it, it's a blade whether I stick my head out or pull it back, just saying 'I'm sorry' is enough."

After making up her mind, Bai Ningfu plucked up her courage and was about to walk upstairs.

But just as she turned around, she happened to see Mu An and Nina standing at the entrance of the building, not knowing when they had arrived.

"Yo, President Bai, performing crosstalk here early in the morning?"

Mu An greeted with a smile.

"You... you guys... when did you come down?"

The expression on Bai Ningfu's pretty face instantly froze.

Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't have imagined that her 'embarrassing state' would be seen by others.

Especially since this 'other person' was the very object she needed to apologize to on this trip.

"When? Probably from the second you cleared your throat!"

Mu An continued to smile.

Bai Ningfu was almost petrified, tongue-tied, and unable to speak for a long time.

From the second she 'cleared her throat', didn't that mean the other party had heard the whole thing from beginning to end?!

Awkward!

Super invincibly awkward!

At this moment, Bai Ningfu felt that her aloof mature woman image had collapsed instantly.

Blue Star was no longer suitable for her to live on, she might need to change to a new planet.

Tired, let it be destroyed!

Three minutes later.

Listening to the reason given by Bai Ningfu, Mu An always felt something was strange.

Was that old geezer, the former chairman, so sentimental?

He would actually scold his own granddaughter because he was fired?

If he remembered correctly, Mu An had originally, in order to make the account go viral in a short time.

Specifically found the old chairman to shoot a short video with the same style of 'I am a dog, I agree to shoot Douyin'.

At that time, that old geezer was quite resistant, refusing no matter what, but only reluctantly cooperated after he guaranteed many times that it would definitely go viral.

"That's the situation, Grandpa scolded me severely."

"And after yesterday's business docking, I also deeply realized your indispensability in our company."

"So I have a presumptuous request, I don't know if you can come back to work?"

"I can give you a raise! Two... no, three times the salary!"

Bai Ningfu hesitated for a while, but still bowed slightly to this man.

Compared to being cruelly chopped into eighteen pieces by her own sister and then sunk to the bottom of the sea, she could still accept this bit of 'grievance' now.

Of course, in the process of apologizing, she was very loyal and did not betray her sister.

Instead, she threw all the 'blame' onto her own old geezer... er, her own grandfather's head.

Mainly because... Bai Ningfu discovered through the corner of her eye a certain balcony upstairs.

Her own sister was launching a 'death stare' at her!
