Xu Zhouliang did not reply, and continued to drive with his eyes fixed in front.
"Stop the car!"
Xu Baihui suddenly shouted loudly, she took the chance to open the car door, then frowned as she stared at the rearview mirror, wanting to say something, but in the end, she shook her head helplessly. After a while, she found an intersection and stopped the car.
Just as the car stopped, Xu Baihui opened the car door and got off, slamming it shut.
She walked back in the direction the car had come from, her back … He looked lonely and sad.
Mu Jingyan watched her leave from the window and could not bear to see her leave. She then retracted her gaze, "Boss Xu, Secretary Xu doesn't seem to be very happy."
"Yes."
Xu Zhouliang retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and continued to drive as if nothing had happened.
Xu Baihui knew that he did not chase after them and knew that he must have drove far away. She persisted on walking for more than ten minutes without turning back before she finally stopped at a quiet alley. Her pride, her pride, could finally be put down. She was like a little girl who couldn't find a home.
When she looked up, two streams of tears were flowing down her cheeks. She took out her cell phone.
The phone was quickly connected.
"Meng Junxi! Where are you? Come and save me! My heart hurts. I think I'm going to die! It feels so bad! " she cried in a tearful voice, not waiting for the other person to speak.
She had never seen Xu Baihui so sad and weak before. Her voice was filled with pain, it went into his phone and also went into his heart. Each word made Meng Junxi's heart ache.
"Stay where you are and wait for me!" His voice was firm. "Very soon."
Very quickly indeed.
Meng Junxi appeared in the alley where she was in in less than fifteen minutes of time.
"I'm here." He leaned over to kiss her hair, reached out to touch her face, and slowly lifted her head to find that her face was streaked with tears.
He felt a heavy pain in his heart, "What happened?"
Xu Baihui did not speak, she only shook her head in pain, she just wanted to cry out loud, she was tired, tired, she felt lonely, she wanted to find a place to rest. She didn't want to disguise her emotions. She wanted to cry without restraint.
Meng Junxi was a little helpless. In this situation, he did not know how to properly coax a woman. Seeing that she was crying so much, he hugged her tightly. After a while, seeing that the crying was getting weaker, he got up and picked her up before putting her in the car.
She brought her home and gave him a cup of warm water. She curled up on the sofa without moving, her eyes glazed over. She felt the warmth from the cup and thought back to the first time she came here.
At that time, her heart was full of scars and her eyes were filled with wounds. She didn't like people, and since she had no friends, she could only numb herself with her work. There was a man who had used a unique method to barge into his own world, bringing a trace of sunshine and warmth to his dark heart. That night, he turned around and went into the bathroom. As she listened to the sound of the flowing water, she felt strangely at peace. She knew that he wouldn't do anything to her, and in that moment, she felt the warmth and safety of her home. She also wanted to have a warm home to pacify all the pain in her heart …
Looking out the window at the dark night sky, she felt sad for herself. Then she actually fell asleep on this man's bed.
She was still thinking about that time, when Meng Junxi had walked over.
"Let's sleep for a while."
Meng Junxi bent down to tidy up her messy hair, and with a low and gentle voice, he was afraid that he would scare her. Xu Baihui raised her head, with tears still hanging on his face, and lightly shook her head.
"Then... Are you hungry? " He was very worried.
She nodded. She was indeed a little hungry.
The man got up and smiled brightly. "Then how about the tomato stew?"
"Alright."
Xu Zhouliang kept silent along the way. Mu Jingyan was too embarrassed to ask too many questions, so she escorted her to the front of the apartment. Xu Zhouliang said, "Tomorrow is the official day of work.
"Don't worry!" Mu Jingyan was full of energy, "Boss Xu, don't worry, I have already fully recovered and am waiting for you!"
Xu Zhouliang smiled, his eyebrows raised as he looked at her, "You were waiting for me?"
"I'm watching a joke!" Xu Zhouliang smiled, and when he glanced at her, his tone became slightly heavy, "In the future, we will really have to fight side by side!"
"…" What do you mean?
Mu Jingyan was still trying to understand the meaning behind his words. Xu Zhouliang had already driven far away, she scratched her head, as though she thought that there was some hidden meaning behind his words, and his gaze was also strange.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to go home happily.
The next day.
When Mu Jingyan entered the company early in the morning, she felt that everyone was looking at her strangely, and it was extremely awkward. There were even people pointing at her from behind, mumbling to themselves.
"See that? That Mu Jingyan really had an affair with the Boss Xu!"
"That's right, otherwise if Boss Xu didn't come to work, she wouldn't have come either!"
"Looking at her radiant face, she probably went to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the morning with Boss Xu."
Someone said in a low voice, "I heard that Bai Yi had offended Mu Jingyan at that time, which was why he was subjected to all kinds of suppression and revenge. After that, he was directly forced to resign.
"You don't have to say, I didn't quite believe it before, but Bai Yi sent me a few photos a few days ago. These are actually all of him together!"
"Where is he? Hurry up and share it! "
It was still a mess inside, shouting about wanting to see the photo, and a few seconds later, all sorts of insults came flying out, "It's just daylight, he's really too shameless, he's eating together like that! This is too savage! "
Didn't Mu Jingyan say that she had a husband?
"You are too naive, of course she would look for a better person, once she climbs onto the high branch of the Boss Xu, she will definitely get divorced in a hurry!"
"Exactly!"
"Right." Another person said, "Did that Bai Yi go to a company to become some sort of director?"
"That's right! I heard that she went to a lot of companies and no one wanted her. I don't know how she got to know a big lawyer who recommended her over. "
"She's having a private party tonight. Did you get the invitation?"
"I got it!"
"I didn't. Maybe he's already the head director. He doesn't like a little girl like me!"
The conversation inside was bustling. Mu Jingyan thought for a moment, then walked in with her chest puffed out. Under their astonished gazes, she took a cup of water, turned around and left without saying a word.
She resisted the urge to curse. She wanted to throw the cup of boiling water in their faces.
A bunch of dead women! Sh * t mouth!
Enraged, Xu Zhouliang returned to his office. Seeing her displeased face, he raised his eyebrows, "Who made you angry?"
She angrily sat back in her office chair and drank some water, "Boss Xu, do you know that the company is spreading gossip about us?!"
"Yes, I know." Xu Zhouliang smiled.
Mu Jingyan curled her lips, "You know about it?"
He smiled. "You know all about it. How could I not?"
"…"
Her expression was somewhat unhappy as she grumbled, "Do you even know why you didn't step in and let them slander us?"
Xu Zhouliang stopped what he was doing, looked at the back of the chair, and looked at the angry face of Mu Jingyan, "The rumors stop right before the wise and not to mention, the more you explain it, the more it gives people the feeling that you want to cover it up."
"..." Boss Xu, I feel that what you said is very, very reasonable! "
Seeing that he had been acknowledged, Xu Zhouliang laughed satisfactorily. Mu Jingyan then continued to speak in a serious tone, "Then we will maintain our normal working relationship from a distance. In the future, we will avoid matters like eating and other private interactions!"
"…" Xu Zhouliang frowned.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and the front desk opened up, "Boss Xu, there's your express delivery."
Xu Zhouliang smiled, his beautiful eyes squinted into slits, "Put it here."
When Mu Jingyan saw that he was smiling, that strange feeling came out again. She had a nagging feeling that something was waiting for her.
Not long after, several large boxes were brought in one after another.
Mu Jingyan was dumbstruck, what the hell!
She wanted to help, but the box was too heavy, she couldn't move it after a few moves, so she could only stand obediently by the side. Xu Zhouliang waved his hand to let the others out, smiling as he said to Mu Jingyan, "Open it."
"Oh."
Mu Jingyan took out a pair of scissors and cut it open.
She was completely shocked!
He subconsciously raised his head to look at Xu Zhouliang, only to see him smiling with both eyes, "These are all snacks for you, eat them when you're bored!"
"Boss Xu, didn't we say that we have to work properly?"
Boss Xu, can we go to work properly? Snack food at work! Do you have to be so outrageous!
"That's nothing!" Xu Zhouliang looked at the incredulous Mu Jingyan gently, as if he was coaxing a kitten to eat, "Only after eating would you have the strength to work!"
"…"
After saying that, she actually stooped down to carry boxes of snacks. Mu Jingyan recovered her senses and chased after him, "Boss Xu, I don't eat snacks anymore!"
"Hmm?"
"Originally, our current relationship has already been talked about by others. Since you're acting like this, I won't be able to explain myself!" After a pause, his chest moved up and down as he mustered up his courage, "Also, don't treat me like you treat a kitten and a puppy! "I'm not your pet!"
Xu Zhouliang stood up while patting the dust off his hands. He was wearing a light blue, slim shirt, which was tied around his wrists. His eyes revealed a light glint, and then he chuckled: "I don't think of you as a pet!"
Liar!
It was clearly written on your forehead: Mu Jingyan, you are a pet cat!
"Boss Xu, I feel that your actions right now are already a kind of crazy illness. Before you become ill, go and find a therapist to take a look!"
After listening to her words, he lowered his head and gave a deep laugh. A minute later, he smiled at her and said, "Since you've come, I've become a lot better. Not only have my appetite improved, my mood has also improved. "You're my psychiatrist. You don't need to find anyone else."
"…"
What did that mean?
"Mu Jingyan." His smile froze. "Why don't we hurt each other?"
What did that mean? Can't you just talk!
