When he finished washing the dishes, Shen Xiran was still deep in thought. He knew that Si Lianye had said something to her, "I'll be going back first, you're welcome to come visit my home anytime …"
After the man left for a while, Shen Xiran finally reacted. By... By...
When did he become so satisfied with him?
However, he said that she was very satisfied with him. The problem was that this was not the main point, she just did not want to eat with him, after all, they were not husband and wife, why did they stay together day and night, moreover, he was the CEO of a large company, in order to save money, to eat with her, was it really fair to do this? Fair?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Shen Xiran got.
But she could never go to his house now to find him and argue, right? God knows, going to his house was like going to a sheep's den. Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Shen Xiran could only swallow his anger.
Compared to eating with him, the bath towel incident from before had made her want to dig a hole in the ground.
And during the day, at the company, it was embarrassing to be the one who flirted with her …
In front of the craft store, Lin Zixuan stood at Shangguan Rou's side, his large body awkwardly wiping the glass at the entrance. Beside him, Shangguan Rou's sharp eyes were always staring at the glass, and saw a few stains on her side being wiped clean.
Aunt Lin, who was in the shop, looked at the two of them and never stopped smiling.
Ever since the last time this man came to buy things, he would come to the shop every single day to help out. Although it was all a big favor, but he always stuck to Rou Er and spoke a few words that made her feel embarrassed. At the beginning, even Aunt Lin had a cold to this kind of flowery words towards him, but after these few days passed, his patience did not decrease, but instead increased, which made Aunt Lin have a whole new level of respect for him.
Gradually, the Aunt Lin also knew his name.
Lin Zixuan.
Outside the window, Lin Zixuan secretly turned his head and looked at Shangguan Rou who was working seriously. After hesitating for a while, he finally said with a serious face: "Rou Er, can you accompany me for my birthday tomorrow?" These days, Lin Zixuan stayed here often, so he gradually found out her name.
After Shangguan Rou heard his words, her hands that were originally working suddenly stopped, her face was in a daze, but even so, she did not reply.
Seeing her expression, Lin Zixuan was a little disappointed, but he quickly changed the subject, and said: "If you don't want to accompany me, then that's fine, just pretend that I didn't say anything." After he finished speaking, Lin Zixuan continued to clean up. It was just that he did not see that after being wiped clean by Shangguan Rou, the glass had become even dirtier.
Seeing that he had wiped the mess, Shangguan Rou did not remind him. Instead, she took a step towards him and started to help him clean up the mess.
After Lin Zixuan had busied himself with the shop for the whole morning, he left in the afternoon when he had something to do. When he came in front of Shangguan Rou to say his farewells, he seemed to be extremely reluctant: "I won't be here tomorrow." After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, he turned to the Aunt Lin beside him and said: "Aunt Lin, I'll leave Rou Er in your care."
It was a completely possessor's attitude, as if Rou Er was already his person and looked at him.
When Aunt Lin heard his words, she was initially not used to it, but she gradually got used to it. After nodding, he said, "Drive carefully." Every time he came, he would always park her car not too far away, which was why the Aunt Lin gave him the orders.
And when Shangguan Rou heard Lin Zixuan's words, she would lower her head every single time with a face full of shyness. After all, to her, Lin Zixuan's words were just too ambiguous.
When Lin Zixuan was about to exit the shop, Shangguan Rou looked at the paper and brush on the table, quickly picked them up and wrote a line of words, then came in front of Lin Zixuan. Very quickly, she placed the paper in her hand into Lin Zixuan's hands, lowered her head and returned to the inside of the shop, looking just like a beautiful flower.
Facing her sudden note, Lin Zixuan opened it and looked at it in a daze. When he saw what was written inside, he started to cheer.
— You pick me up tomorrow.
She promised to accompany him on his birthday tomorrow.
"Rou Er, wait for me tomorrow." Lin Zixuan happily said these words, and then left with a face full of smiles.
When only Shangguan Rou and Aunt Lin were left in the shop, Aunt Lin's mirror-like eyes fell on Shangguan Rou. After a long while, he asked: "Rou Er, to be honest, have you fallen for him?" Since she was young, Shangguan Rou had been controlled extremely strictly by the Shangguan Family.
Because of her body's weakness, it was even more so because the Shangguan Family didn't want to reveal her flaw to the public. To be more precise, in order to give her face, the Shangguan Family had asked Shangguan Rou to stay at home for a period of time, and it was as if she was completely raising her. Later on, she had wanted to go to school.
This was one of the conditions for her to go to school.
That was why ever since she was young, Shangguan Rou could be said to be completely useless, she had never even been in a relationship before. At school, when other people saw her beauty, they would only drool over her, but when they found out that she was just a mute, they would always avoid her.
Fortunately, Shangguan Rou had been instructed by a therapist since young, so she could properly handle the opinions of others.
When the Aunt Lin saw her like this, she had a clear understanding of what was going on. However, she was more or less still a little worried, because Rou Er's situation was still different from many people, and if the person in front of her felt that she was pretty beautiful or was bewitched by her appearance, wouldn't she be able to say something after a while?
Thinking about this, Aunt Lin originally wanted to say a few more words. However, after looking at her timid face, she swallowed his words.
Everyone had to learn to grow up, regardless of their experiences, they were all unique.
— Aunt Lin, I've grown up.
Shangguan Rou came in front of Aunt Lin and made a gesture with her hand.
When Aunt Lin saw the happiness on her face, her mood immediately became better. Then, after saying a few other things to her, Shangguan Rou became distracted, upon seeing it, she shook her head, laughed, and went back into the room.
In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Rou had already went to Aunt Lin's shop. When she asked for a leave of absence, Aunt Lin agreed without a second word.
Not long after she had applied for leave, Lin Zixuan drove over with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. When he saw Shangguan Rou standing at the entrance, he immediately brought the flowers in front of her and said: "Rou Er, this is for you." The bright red rose was alluring, but Lin Zixuan felt that compared to Rou Er, the rose in front of him had lost its luster.
After Shangguan Rou shyly received it, Lin Zixuan immediately held Shangguan Rou's hand and walked into the shop. After bidding farewell to Aunt Lin, Lin Zixuan led Shangguan Rou to the carriage.
On the other hand, Aunt Lin was a little absent-minded when she saw the hand they signed together.
Who hasn't been arrogant in their youth? Since she was young, she should properly enjoy everything that youth bestowed upon her. But her youth, was gone forever …
When Aunt Lin thought here, she couldn't help but go to the corner of the store, where there was a very large and exquisite looking shop, Aunt Lin looked inside, although she was already forty years old, but the years had not left anything on her face. Her long hair was tied up, and she was wearing a qipao, revealing her graceful figure in front of her.
And the most eye-catching thing about her was her pair of soft eyes. They were like a pool of spring water, clear of the heart.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the expression on Aunt Lin's face gradually dimmed.
Lin Zixuan drove very quickly, and Shangguan Rou, who was sitting in the front seat, held onto her seat belt tightly as she stared outside the window with a pair of timid eyes. To her, this was the first time in her life that she had experienced something like this.
After Lin Zixuan stopped the car, Shangguan Rou looked outside curiously.
This was an underground parking area.
When Shangguan Rou had a face full of suspicion, Lin Zixuan had already opened the car door, and then, came over to her side. He also took the opportunity to open the car door, and said teasingly: "My Rou Er, thank you for accompanying me today …" After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, he directly extended his hand and carried Shangguan Rou out from the carriage.
After being carried by him, Shangguan Rou was completely stunned. Then, as she struggled to resist, Lin Zixuan immediately came close to her ear and said: "Rou Er, don't resist, alright? I won't hurt you."
His voice was like a tranquil pill. When Shangguan Rou heard it, she immediately nodded her head obediently.
When they arrived at the elevator, Shangguan Rou's face was completely red, and her entire head was buried in Lin Zixuan's neck, looking very embarrassed.
How could Lin Zixuan not know what she was thinking? After which, he teased her: "This is my personal elevator, no one has seen it." When Lin Zixuan finished speaking, in order to secretly raise her head, and saw that there were only the two of them in the elevator, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Zixuan saw her cute appearance, especially when she stuck out his tongue. He felt his heart throbbing somewhere.
Very quickly, they arrived at an apartment. Lin Zixuan pressed his fingerprint on the door, and then, the door opened, and when his deep eyes looked at Shangguan Rou's face, he immediately pressed down on the spot where his finger was pressed, and then he looked at her seriously and said: "Rou Er, press down."
