Ruan Bai thinks Ruan Ruan likes the colored paper with the pattern of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Putting away the other colored papers and putting them away, she picked up the SpongeBob SquarePants and was about to get up and leave.
"ah--"
When I got up, my mental attention was focused on how to wrap the book cover so that the SpongeBob SquarePants pattern could play the best role, and I completely forgot about the man standing beside me.
A brooch pinned to the chest of Ruan Bai's business attire was hung on the man's belt buckle...
"Yes, I'm sorry, I..." Ruan Bai stared at the two things hanging together, embarrassed.
The man lowered his head, and when he looked at her, there was an unfathomable feeling in his pupils.
"I'll untie it, it'll be fine soon..." Ruan Bai grasped the man's belt with both hands in a panic.
It was the first time that she took the initiative to grab a man's belt at such a big age.
On those nights more than five years ago, Ruan Bai never touched a man's clothes and other things, and during the years of getting along with Li Zong, such a thing never happened.
She didn't know what was wrong, but when she met Mu Shaoling, she was always in a variety of situations.
It seems that some kind of chemical reaction is the law.
The design of this brooch is complicated, and there are many hollowed out places. A branch was hung into the man's belt buckle. Unfortunately, the brooch was firmly stuck!
The more anxious Ruan Bai was, the more he couldn't untie it, and the surrounding air became very hot...
"How long?" the man asked.
Ruan Bai raised his head and looked at him.
Mu Shaoling is tall. Today, the man is wearing black trousers, and he only undid two buttons on his white shirt on weekdays. Since he was looking at the blueprints in the office, he undid three buttons without restraint. Straight into Ruan Bai's eyes.
Such a man with a narrow waist and almost perfect proportions, if not for his body temperature to prove that he is a real person, might be mistaken for a male model carefully sculpted by fashion professionals.
"I... I don't want my brooch anymore." Ruan Bai said evasively, not daring to look him in the face, "but if you want to untie it, I'm afraid you'll scratch Mr. Mu's belt buckle."
When studying abroad, in order to improve their overall quality, she and her friends have learned about many big names, but they are limited to understanding.
She knew that this belt buckle was expensive.
So expensive that she couldn't afford it at all.
"Scratching my belt buckle is more elegant than hanging it on me in your posture." Mu Shaoling looked down at the stupid woman who fumbled around his waist for a long time without undoing the brooch.
It's afternoon now.
The afterglow of the setting sun swayed on the man's body, and there was an unreal handsome texture. Now that he said so, Ruan Bai lowered his head, pressed his lips tightly, and continued to untie the brooch.
Mu Shaoling was condescending, like an emperor, overlooking her.
Ruan Bai became more and more annoyed because he couldn't untie it, his soft lips parted slightly, his breath sprayed on the man's tight lower abdomen, and something filled his hard body unknowingly.
Only a "click" sound was heard.
At this time, the belt buckle and brooch were finally separated.
Ruan Bai was overjoyed, with a smile stained on her fair and flushed face, she stood up while covering the broken brooch on her chest.
However, there seems to be something... strange.
She looked down instinctively.
With just one glance, Ruan Bai subconsciously took a step back in fright, her body shook slightly, and when she raised her head to look at the man again, her eyes were full of fear and anxiety...
A handsome man with a height of 1.89 meters, who can only be more than less, stands tall and straight, with a serious and tough expression on his face, as if the instructor is examining a female student who has made a mistake.
When looking into the man's dark and deep eyes, Ruan Bai was so uncomfortable that his mouth was dry, so he had to apologize: "I'm sorry! Mr. Mu, I will continue to cover the book!"
After apologizing, Ruan Bai picked up the drawings of SpongeBob SquarePants lying on the ground and went to cover the book.
From then on until the time when he finished wrapping the book cover and left, Ruan Bai was very cautious.
Every minute and every second feels as long as ten thousand years. The man's status, appearance, and calm and dignified behavior all indicate that strangers should not enter.
Ruan Bai went downstairs, and it took a long time before his heartbeat calmed down.
She was determined to stay away from the man on the top floor who always put her in a lot of situations in the future.
Since it took a lot of time to wrap the book cover, Ruan Bai had a lot of work on his hands.
There is also an advantage to being busy all the time, which can make her forget the embarrassing scenes in the top president's office before.
"Come to my house for dinner at night, and my brother will pick us up." Li Ni held a stack of documents in her hand, took advantage of her spare time at work, came over and said in Ruan Bai's ear.
Ruan Bai glanced at her and nodded.
Li Ni's gaze inadvertently noticed the clothes on Ruan Bai's chest.
"Why is it broken?" Li Ni asked in surprise.
Although this brooch is not a big name, it is an object that Ruan Bai has cherished since high school.
Li Ni doesn't know who gave Ruan Bai this outdated brooch, but she and Ruan Bai have known each other since they were freshmen in high school. She often goes to Ruan Bai's house and knows that Ruan Bai has a box.
This brooch was the only thing contained in the box.
Ruan Bai looked down at the broken brooch on his clothes, and lied: "I met a child, when I knelt down to talk to him, he grabbed my brooch and wouldn't let it go, so..."
"Bear boy, it's really annoying." Li Ni felt that Ruan Bai must be very distressed. The brooch that he had treasured for several years was dragged out of shape just like that.
Li Ni shook her head and returned to her work position.
Ruan Bai raised a hand in a daze, and gently covered the broken brooch.
It's finally time to get off work.
Li Zong is off today, which is regarded as the company's compensation for employees' business trips. He went to buy a car and went through emergency procedures to drive out.
"I'm sorry—" Outside the company building, Li Zong stared at Ruan Bai with fiery eyes, opened the car door for her while apologizing, and watched her get into the car.
Li Ni drove by herself and took a step first.
Ruan Bai got into Li Zong's car, and the two went all the way to Li's house.
On the way, Li Zong concentrated on driving without saying a word, frowning as if he was thinking, Ruan Bai didn't speak, just looked at the street outside the car window.
The car drove into the neighborhood.
The parents of the Li family went downstairs to pick up Ruan Bai.
"Uncle and aunt, why did you come down?" Ruan Bai was very embarrassed.
Mother Li held Ruan Bai's hand and patted it, "Auntie misses you!"
"Mom! You are more disgusting to Xiaobai than my brother is to Xiaobai!" Li Ni teased.
Li Zong walked at the back of his family, with one hand in his trouser pocket.
A high-end black velvet jewelry box was held in the palm of his hand. In Li Zong's eyes, a marriage proposal was like flipping a coin. The result was a flower or a word, an unknown.
This may not be the case between other men and women, but it is indeed the case between him and Ruan Bai.
Nervousness is inevitable.
