AADWFL Chapter 8
An Ning didn’t really have a habit of eating cake. When he said downstairs that he’d treat everyone, it was mostly out of courtesy—as the boss, he felt it was only right to show some appreciation to his employees who were working overtime. Besides, Yu Xiuming had just inexplicably given him a raise, and it felt almost uncomfortable not to spend some of that money on the company. Downstairs, his mind had been completely absorbed in work—he hadn’t even thought about joining the others for…-

AADWFL Chapter 7
Lately, Jing Yan had begun to suspect that Yu Xiuming saw him as some sort of confidant or big brother — someone to talk to about his “personal affairs.” Unfortunately, most of those affairs seemed to revolve around his assistant, An Ning. Jing Yan actually remembered An Ning quite well — which would probably shock the man himself. If An Ning knew that the “background extra” of the story had made such an impression, he’d be floored. Yu Xiuming gave a succinct account of what had…-

AADWFL Chapter 6
“Finished the meeting?” An Ning had just stepped inside and hadn’t even gotten a chance to say a polite opener when Yu Xiuming greeted him with a smile. “Every month on this day, you’re the hardest worker in the company—no contest.” An Ning chuckled quietly, not denying it. These regular meetings were a strange mix—important, yet tedious. They were mandatory, but rarely full of anything fresh. So of course, the top executive wouldn’t waste his time attending every single one.…-

AADWFL Chapter 5
Tao Kang immediately noticed Yu Xiuming’s lapse in composure and quickly whispered,“Don’t act rashly.” Being able to keep his emotions hidden had been a skill Yu Xiuming had honed since childhood. Even the most seasoned opponents in the business world found it hard to read his expression or guess his intentions.But right now, he felt a solid weight pressing against his chest—he simply couldn’t calm down. After a long silence, he finally said,“Uncle Kang, please—go ahead.” The…-

AADWFL Chapter 4
Yu Xiuming had already told An Ning over the phone to go downstairs and meet Tao Kang, while he himself went ahead to wait in the lounge.When An Ning accompanied Tao Kang inside, he realized his boss hadn’t just arrived—he’d even taken the time to brew tea with a full set of teaware. When they entered, Yu Xiuming had his back to the door. At work, he was always impeccably dressed in tailored suits—custom-made each season, outrageously expensive, and of the highest quality. To An Ning, this…-

AADWFL Chapter 3
That dinner didn’t go nearly as smoothly as An Ning had hoped. At least, from an assistant’s perspective, he’d handled it terribly — his boss told him to order, and he did… but after all that, for whatever reason or excuse, Yu Xiuming still had to take over and reorder everything himself. The new dishes soon covered the table that had just been full of fiery-red plates. It wasn’t hard to find non-spicy dishes in a Sichuan restaurant, but the flavor was, understandably, mediocre. And…-

AADWFL Chapter 24
An Ning nodded. “Yes, President Yu. I—” The truth almost slipped out, but then he stopped himself. Since Yu Xiuming hadn’t asked, there was no need to volunteer unnecessary details—or bore his boss with trivial talk about his day. So he awkwardly swallowed the rest and forced a smile. “I went out today and lost track of time for a bit. Sorry for coming back late. It won’t happen again.” Even as he apologized, An Ning discreetly watched his boss’s expression—and quickly realized…-

AADWFL Chapter 23
The grand dishes of Lunzhou didn’t suit An Ning’s taste, but the street food had a charm of its own—surprisingly delicious. He wandered through a park, then stopped by a small café nearby, ordered a drink, and curled up by the window in a cozy booth. As he slowly sipped, he closed his eyes, letting himself drift. Xu Jianan had gotten straight to the point in that phone call. She’d learned that Yu Linshan—Yu Xiuming’s father—was planning to bring his illegitimate son into the company.…-

AADWFL Chapter 22
“This is my stance on the matter. You know it, and I know it too. I will not yield.” The voice rose and fell — sometimes clear, sometimes slightly muffled due to volume. An Ning, sensing the tension between the mother and son on the other end of the line, instinctively slipped over to the kitchen island, preparing chrysanthemum tea to help clear heat for Yu Xiuming. The kitchen, having been used for dinner the day before, had already been cleaned by the hotel staff and looked spotless. An…-

AADWFL Chapter 21
The semi-open kitchen in the suite looked as though it hadn’t been used in ages, yet it was spotless. The hotel staff arrived with not only the requested bag of ingredients but also another paper bag filled with cooking utensils and condiments. An Ning checked everything carefully, thanked the staff, then took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped into the kitchen. He rummaged through the bag, found an apron — printed with the hotel logo — clearly borrowed from their kitchen, and…-
