"I asked for leave properly, and the manager approved it!" she said by the book.
"You just started working a few days ago? And now you're thinking about taking leave? Please, can you be more dedicated to your work? If you continue to be so slack, what can you accomplish?" Xiao Qingcang criticized her angrily.
Shen Hanqian lowered her head. "If you're not satisfied with my performance, I can resign!"
Xiao Qingcang's trim eyebrows furrowed with distress, his face showing utter disbelief. "What did you say?"
Shen Hanqian took a deep breath, sorrowfully saying, "I'm sorry, I have a child to take care of, I... it's Sunday today!"
"Are you sure those are your words? So irresponsible?" Xiao Qingcang asked again, his words suppressing anger!
"Yes!"
Xiao Qingcang grabbed her wrist and yanked her into his embrace!
"Ah..." She cried out in pain.
He looked at her threateningly. "Since you're irresponsible, I won't be responsible towards you either."
