Chapter 71 - Christmas Eve

"Then tell me your solution." Su Jinyi said.

Duan Yunxuan straightened his body and said: "Isn't Christmas coming up in two days? Let's go on a date."

"A date?!" Su Jinyi said in surprise, "Should I go and ask him out?"

"That's up to you. I can't help you." Duan Yunxuan spread out his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

Su Jinyi stayed in Duan Yunxuan's office for half an hour. When she came out, everyone in the office was somewhat curious about her.

"What did the Manager Duan say to you?"

"Yeah, why did you take so long?"

"Did Manager Duan scold you?"

"Are you all right?"

Everyone's questions came one after another. Su Jinyi felt a headache, how was she supposed to answer?

"No, he just told me about his work." Su Jinyi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It can't be, it's been half an hour!" Everyone doubted his words.

"Really!" Su Jinyi explained strongly, "Haven't I been making mistakes for the past two days? So he called me in to chat."

"He must have been scolded very miserably, right? Looking at Su Jinyi's complexion, it seems like he doesn't have a very good expression." One of her colleagues lamented.

"Jin Yi, are you really alright?" Xiao Qiu asked with worry.

"Thank you for everyone's concern. I'm really alright." Su Jinyi smiled at everyone, feeling very guilty.

When Su Jinyi finally managed to answer her question, it was not long before work time. She thought back to what Duan Yunxuan had said to her in the office just now, and wondered if she should ask He Ruiting out for a meal at Christmas or something. Before she could come up with a conclusion, a new message came to her cell phone.

The message was from He Ruiting: "Are you free the day after tomorrow at night?"

It was Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow, so was he making an appointment with him? Su Jinyi was a little uncertain, but wasn't this the problem that had been plaguing her all this time? Since he had already spoken, what was she still hesitating about?

"I'm free." Su Jinyi quickly replied him.

"Come to a party with me the day after tomorrow." He Ruiting's message was sent over again.

Su Jinyi looked at the screen in disappointment. So it wasn't a date, but a date.

After getting off work, Su Jinyi went back home on her own. Because He Ruiting had a social meetup, originally, Duan Yunxuan would have sent her home.

Probably because it was near the end of the year, He Ruiting had been very busy recently. He had wanted to ask him out for Christmas, but now there was no chance, because he didn't have time that day.

Christmas Eve soon arrived. On that day, everyone left work on time to celebrate the holidays.

The royal ball He Ruiting mentioned before was actually a gathering for business. The industry leaders took advantage of this holiday to look for business opportunities and partners, thus, all of them were all bosses, mm … And, of course, the woman next to the boss.

"Rest here for a while, I'll go get some food for you." He Ruiting brought Su Jinyi to greet them, and then found a corner for her to rest in.

Su Jinyi nodded obediently and watched He Ruiting walk towards the food area.

Not long later, she saw He Ruiting holding onto a big plate that was filled with food, walking towards her.

"You take so much, even I can't finish it." Su Jinyi looked at the pile in front of her.

"As much as you can eat." He Ruiting said.

Su Jinyi ate for a while, then said: "I can leave soon, do you want to go for a stroll?"

"Where to?" Su Jinyi asked curiously.

However, before He Ruiting could even speak, his mobile phone rang in his pocket. He took it out, and after looking at the caller ID, he frowned. He went out to answer the call, and Su Jinyi's eyes dimmed.

Not long after, He Ruiting returned. He said apologetically: "I have something urgent so I may not be able to accompany you for a stroll. I'll have the driver take you home."

Because the ball definitely needed to be drunk, so when they came, He Ruiting brought the driver along.

"Go back to your work, don't worry about me." Su Jinyi shook her head and said, "I will sit here to rest. I will head back myself later."

"Then, I'll have the driver wait for you at the door. If you want to go back, then go back."

"Don't you have something urgent to do? "Let the driver drive you. It's easy to take a taxi here. I'll take a taxi back myself." Su Jinyi still tolerated him.

He Ruiting thought for a moment, then did not reject his.

"Yes."

As Su Jinyi watched him leave in such a hurry, she couldn't help but think of that picture that appeared in her mind. She thought that after tonight, the strange, cold war between them would improve a lot.

Seeing the food in front of her, Su Jinyi lost her appetite. She stood up and walked to the door, the weather was cold outside, she was wearing a formal dress inside and a large cotton-padded jacket on the outside. After leaving the venue, she tightened her clothes. Once the cold wind blew, Su Jinyi couldn't help but shiver.

It was not so easy to get a taxi here.

Su Jinyi stood in the cold wind for a while, but there were still no cabs. She walked along the road for a while, and it was Christmas Eve, the entire An City was immersed in the atmosphere of the holiday, and there were practically couples walking on the streets. Walking alone, it seemed a little out of place.

"Miss, do you want to take a taxi?" Just then, a taxi stopped beside Su Jinyi.

"Yes." Su Jinyi saw a taxi and sat on it without thinking, then reported the He family's address.

Roughly five minutes after getting on the car, Su Jinyi felt a little stuffy. She wanted to open the window, but the driver stopped her: "It's cold outside.

As a result, the car window was closed by the driver. As Su Jinyi sat in the back seat, she felt a little dizzy.

"Master, turn on the window to be a bit smaller. The smell in your car isn't good." Su Jinyi said somewhat uncomfortably.

"Alright, turn it down." The driver opened her window a little, but that didn't help.

After two minutes, Su Jinyi fainted, the driver saw her fall on the back seat, then turned the steering wheel and sped away.
