That day, Mu Luo said that she had something to do at the company and had to leave early, so she left after sending Ling Xiaorou to the company. The red luxury sports car was really eye-catching in this city." Then Xiaorou, I'll pick you up after work."”
"Don't wait until dinner time is over before coming to find me.”
"I know." He waved at her, put on his sunglasses, and got into the car.
"Wearing sunglasses in the middle of winter, what are you so cocky for!”He stuck out his tongue and turned around to enter the company.
Ling Xiaorou was thinking about a lot of things in the office, but the only thing she did not consider was the company's matters, nor the perfume. She suddenly wanted to tell Helian Zi how she felt, even if she had to go back to school now. However, she was not in the mood to tell him, so she did not know how to say it now. She thought about Yu Shuo again. Should she go to Yu Shuo and tell him about what happened that night? If Mu Xiaodie knew what happened that night, would she scold her? If it was her, she would definitely scold her shameless self. She picked up the phone and was about to call him when Helian Zi called.
"What's wrong?"
"In the afternoon, I'll hold a regular meeting. There are some things in the company that need to be explained by the various departments.”
"Alright, I'll inform them later.”
"And…"
"Hmm?"
"There's a banquet tomorrow night, you and Mu Luo should come.”
"En, alright."
In fact, Helian Zi still wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know what to say at this time. He would only give up if Mu Luo said those words herself. The matter of finding Yu Shuo was put on hold.
In fact, Mu Luo knew about the banquet earlier than Ling Xiaorou. Helian Zi's invitation was sent over early in the morning. He looked at the white invitation and didn't know what to say. He had not contacted Helian Zi since that day." Friend, what is it?"”
"What's the headache?" Podina came in and placed a cup of coffee on his table. He did not look up at her. Other than Ling Xiaorou, all other women were common to him. She was the only one who was beautiful.
"Boss, are you thinking about a woman or a man?”After she finished speaking, she looked at him seriously. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Her red lips were very sexy. He looked up and leaned back in his chair. His wine-red bangs blocked his eyes, but they could not hide his sharp gaze. His eyes revealed an unfriendly aura. "You're still in my assessment period."
"Hmm?" She smiled.
"There's a dinner party tomorrow night. You should go together.”After saying that, she continued to do her own things." At the Helian Corporation.”
"I've already placed the information on the French company on your desk. I finished it last night.”
"Are you trying to take credit?" She did not look at her. She pursed her lips, bowed, closed the door, and left.
Actually, you never cared about what I did. It was the same in Australia, and it was still the same now. It's because I'm small.
In fact, ever since she found out that the future heir of Li Enterprise, Mu Luo, had been assigned to work here, she had been restless. When she was in Australia, she had only seen Mu Luo once at a regular meeting outside the door. However, it was that time that the wine red color was imprinted in her heart, and that time was enough to suffocate her. She also knew from her colleagues that Mu Luo was not married yet, nor did he have a girlfriend. The only person she was close to was her rival, Silike, who was also the person she was most afraid to see. She didn't know if Mu Luo's suffocation was because of love or not. She also wanted to know what was bothering Mu Luo now. Perhaps, she would know everything when the banquet came.
Sometimes, a woman's jealousy was even more powerful and terrifying than a man's.
Mu Luo did not go back on his word this time. He came before Ling Xiaorou got off work. Ling Xiaorou packed her things and got ready to leave work. They walked in the corridor one after another. The corridor was bright, but she could not see his expression. When Ling Xiaorou told him about the banquet tomorrow, she felt that he was not interested. She did not know why, but he and Helian Zi were best friends, so he should be looking forward to it.
"If you're tired tomorrow or have too many things to do at the company, you don't have to come.”
"Xiao Rou." He suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her." I'm going. Who am I to you?"”
She did not understand what he meant. It was just a simple dinner party. She suddenly didn't know how to answer. Friends? Lovers? Actually, she hoped that they were lovers. However, she didn't know if Mu Luo was thinking the same way now. It seemed that she couldn't see through everything about him. From the time Mu Xiaodie mentioned that woman who appeared out of nowhere, perhaps it wasn't her who was baffled but herself. It wasn't that he didn't trust Mu Luo. It was because she didn't have confidence in herself. If that woman could be with Mu Luo, she wouldn't be worse than Helian Zi.
"It's nothing!" He smiled and held her hand. It was the first time he held her hand since he came back, and it was still warm.
"Mu Luo."
"Hmm?"
"I,"
"What's wrong?"
When he walked out of the company, the sky was no longer filled with stars but snowflakes. He suddenly let go of her hand and reached out to catch a few snowflakes. "Xiao Rou, how many do you think I can catch?”
"I'm guessing that when it's in your hands. It melted."
She didn't say what she wanted to say.
On the day of the banquet, Ling Xiaorou woke up very early in the morning because Helian Zi said that he had a meeting in the morning to talk about the meeting with the French company's representative tonight. It was something he wanted Ling Xiaorou to handle. " Hey," she kicked Mu Luo who was still sleeping," when you have nothing to do later, help me go to the store to get my clothes."”Mu Luo rubbed her eyes and woke up," Let's sleep a little longer."”
"Go to sleep!" Just as she was about to move her foot away, the guy grabbed her ankle." What!?"”
"Why are you up so early?"
"I have something to do!"
"What is it?"
"Why are you so nervous?"
"No, I didn't."
"There's a meeting today."
Mu Luo let go of her hand and lay on the ground, looking at Ling Xiaorou,"Your nightgown is so short."”
"You're a pervert!" She stepped on his face." Go to sleep!”
Ling Xiaorou asked her secretary to look into Yu Shuo's situation. She said that she would need some documents after the meeting because she wanted to talk to him about it in a few days, but she couldn't find a reason yet." Ling Xiaorou "
"Ah!" " Ah!" she cried out in a panic. The pen in her hand fell to the ground. Fortunately, the meeting had already ended. In fact, she did not know what was said at the meeting.
"What are you thinking about?" Helian Zi sat beside her, picked up the folder in her hand, and slapped it on her head.
" Nothing." She lowered her head and picked up the pen on the ground." What happened between you and Mu Luo?"”
Helian Zi was a little panicked at first, but he didn't show it." It's okay. That guy probably works too hard."”
"Is that so?"
"Have you confessed to him?"
"No, I haven't."
"Why haven't you said anything yet?"
"Do you want me to say it?" She looked at him with a calm expression." Helian Zi, I want to say something.”
"I still have something to do at my family's company. I'll go over first.”After saying that, he got up and patted her head. She looked up at him.
Why do you never let me finish my sentence? Will you die after I finish? I'm not going to die. I'm just afraid that my heart can't take it.
Mu Xiaodie was still used to delivering food to Yu Shuo during lunch break. Yu Shuo sat on the opposite seat and smiled at him.”She passed the chopsticks to Yu Shuo. "Yes." He put the rice into his mouth. He was already used to the taste, but he still didn't know if this habit was love. Mu Luo yawned as he walked into the company. When he passed by the resting area, he saw a familiar figure. He had already marked her as a friend. He turned around to take a closer look. He saw Mu Xiaodie and Yu Shuo sitting there eating through the glass. He no longer had the urge to smash the glass. He was no longer a child. He put on his sunglasses and walked over. No one noticed him.
"You know what? Mu Luo is back." Mu Xiaodie's words almost choked Yu Shuo.‘Mu Luo, what a rare word. She had not seen him for several years.'
"That guy is still so frivolous. I saw him take a woman with him yesterday. So I went to look for Ling Xiaorou."
"Ling Xiaorou!" When he thought of this name, a ripple appeared in his heart." Really?”
"Didn't you contact Mu Luo? I think he needs someone to comfort him now.”
"Is that so?"
"Why do you always say so?”Mu Xiaodie seemed to be angry. She packed up Yu Shuo's lunch box and prepared to leave.
"Alright, I know. I'll get to the bottom of it."
"That's right. How could a boy be so calculative?”
When Mu Xiaodie went out, she happened to bump into Podina. She had always hated her, and she didn't know when this arrogant female secretary appeared. She glared at her and left. On the other hand, Podina was very angry." What are you being so cocky for!”As she spoke, she carried the coffee and prepared to enter Mu Luo's office.
Mu Luo leaned on the chair and looked at the scenery outside the window. It turned out that Yu Shuo was also working in his own company. He thought that this " lost dog " had long disappeared from his world, but to be honest, what was he complaining about?
"Boss, your coffee." Mu Luo turned around to look at her and put a black folder into the drawer.
"You're very punctual every day." She took a sip of coffee." You added a little too much sugar today."”
"Then I'll put in less next time." Just as he was about to ask her out, he remembered what Ling Xiaorou had told him in the morning.
"I'm going out later. The company is looking for me for something.”
"Oh, okay." With that, he bowed and left.
"Boss, the information you wanted." Ling Xiaorou sipped her coffee and asked her secretary to put the documents on her desk. It was all about Yu Shuo now. She sipped her coffee and flipped through the pages. It was 'Li Corporation' again. She suddenly felt a chill in her heart. If that was the case, perhaps Mu Luo had already met Yu Shuo, and Yu Shuo might have told her about what happened that night out of anger. However, they were not children anymore, and Yu Shuo would not. She closed the file and didn't dare to think further. If Mu Luo saw her looking for him, she didn't know what he would do. Would they be like before? In fact, she really wanted Mu Luo and Yu Shuo to be like before without any grudges because of her.
It was a little late when Mu Luo went to pick up the dress. She had something to do in the afternoon and was delayed. Podina happened to meet Mu Luo when she was picking up the dress. She wanted to hide, but after thinking about it, it was better to face him. "Boss!" The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Mu Luo had just handed the note to the salesperson and turned around to see Podina." What a coincidence? Are you following me?"
"Boss, so handsome. There is indeed value in following him." She walked over and looked at the dark blue dress. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Girlfriend?"
"Fiancée's." He sounded very provocative when he said that." I have something else to do. I'll be leaving first. Don't be late tonight!"
As she watched him leave, she had an idea.
After Mu Luo left, she was still thinking if she should give Ling Xiaorou a necklace or something. After thinking for a while, she went into Ling Xiaorou's favorite shop.
"Why are you so slow!" Ling Xiaorou seemed a little angry when she said that.
"I had something to do at the company in the afternoon, so I overslept in the morning.”With that, he pushed her into the car.
"What else can you do besides sleep?"
"Alright." As he spoke, he took out a black box and handed it to her. When she saw the white logo, she was really angry this time.
"Why did you buy this?"
"No, I think this one matches this dress better.”
She opened the box. The necklace was really beautiful. There were many layers of diamonds inlaid together. "What a waste!"
"Forget it."
"Tsk, I just don't want it." With that, she handed the box to him.
"Alright, I have to focus on driving.”
Ling Xiaorou pursed her lips and glared at him.”
They didn't go home but went straight to Helian Zi's house. Helian Zi saw them coming and quickly went to the garden to welcome them. Mu Luo held Ling Xiaorou's hand and looked at him provocatively.
"We came over directly to give you face.”
Ling Xiaorou seemed to have understood the meaning in her words, she poked Mu Luo and smiled awkwardly at Helian Zi.
"Alright, let's go change.”
"You can go and change. I still have something to talk to him about.”After saying that, she let go of her hand and hugged Helian Zi into the house. Helian Zi pointed at the room over there, meaning that she could go there.
Why do I always think that you love me?
"Why are you looking for me?" As she spoke, she handed him a glass of wine.
"Don't I have anything to tell you?”As he spoke, he put the wine aside.
"What is it?"
"It's about our family."
"You're talking about the project cooperation between the Helian Corporation and the Li Corporation.”
Mu Luo glanced at him, lying on the sofa as if she was about to fall asleep," Tell me when you've thought about it."”
When Ling Xiaorou dragged her long dress out, she didn't see Helian Zi and Mu Luo. She felt a faint uneasiness in her heart. She was afraid that the two of them would do something out of line, but it shouldn't be. She pressed her chest.
"Actually, this necklace is not bad.”She didn't know when Mu Luo had appeared behind her. He put his hand on her shoulder, giving her a fright.
"What are you showing off for!"
"No, it means that I have good taste.”
"It seems like you often give girls such gifts.”
Before he could reply, a few foreigners started chatting with him. His French was so fluent that she had never expected it to be so. His voice was so pleasant to the ears. As he spoke, he waved at Ling Xiaorou and went to greet the guests. At this moment, Ling Xiaorou felt that she was the guest. She felt awkward no matter where she stood. It was only when Helian Zi said that the banquet was about to begin that she realized what she was here for. She followed behind Helian Zi and watched him greet the rich French businessman that he had mentioned a few days ago. She also nodded very gently, but her eyes were still wandering on Mu Luo's moving figure. Yes, it really wasn't the same as before. While she was in a daze, a girl accidentally spilled wine on her dress. By the time she realized it, the other party was already apologizing.
"I'm really sorry." However, there was a hint of gunpowder in his tone.
"I'm fine!" She lifted her head and looked away from the wine stains on the dark blue dress. It was a blonde girl with long curly hair and blue eyes. She was wearing the same style of dress as herself. The only difference was that she was wearing a golden dress, but she did not look French. The girl suddenly showed an arrogant attitude. Ling Xiaorou didn't show any weakness and remained calm. Helian Zi stood aside and didn't know what to say. At this time, Mu Luo came over. He obviously didn't notice that his secretary was right in front of him.
"What's wrong?" His tone was very gentle, the kind that she had never heard before. Many times, Podina had hoped that Mu Luo would speak to her like this, but she never did. At this moment, her heart was very heavy.
"I'm fine." After saying that, Ling Xiaorou wanted to leave with Mu Luo. However, the girl opposite him spoke up.
"Boss."
Mu Luo raised his head and looked at her in confusion. He wanted to say something but didn't say anything in the end. He pulled Ling Xiaorou and left first. Helian Zi and Podina were left behind.
"Silike is back, even though I don't know you. But you'd better take care of yourself." With that, he picked up a glass of wine and left.
She didn't know why she was scared when she heard that Silike was back, but now she knew that she had to get what she wanted as soon as possible. However, if she did that, she would hurt the person she loved the most.
Ling Xiaorou and Mu Luo were sitting on the sofa. Ling Xiaorou looked at the wine stain on her dress and felt a bit distressed. In the end, she couldn't wipe it off with a tissue. Mu Luo put her hand on her hand and said," It's okay. I'll help you wash it when we get back."”
"You're the one who's washing it anyway." She leaned on the sofa and looked at the group of men and women dancing in the room. Suddenly, she felt a little tempted, but Mu Luo beside her didn't seem to be interested at all. He held his head as if he was thinking about something. She wanted to ask more, but a hand reached out," Can I ask you to dance?"”Helian Zi tilted her head and smiled at her.
" Okay." She nodded and stretched out her hand. She looked at Mu Luo who was looking at her coldly, but she still followed him. He didn't stop her. He picked up the wine beside him and started drinking, as if she really didn't exist in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm fine." She followed his footsteps slowly." Helian Zi, thank you.”He didn't continue her sentence, as if he really wanted to hear her out.
"I'm preparing to go back to school. Everything here is just a dream to me.”
"Then, why didn't you continue to have this dream?”His grip tightened. She wanted to take her hand away, but she couldn't win against him.
"I feel that nothing here belongs to me. If one day you need me again, I will come back, but not like this.”
"Let's finish this business, okay?" He wanted her to stay, so that he could convince her when the time came.
" Okay." She knew that it was meaningless to continue refusing.
"We plan to cooperate with the Li Corporation on a project.”
"Hmm?" She did not know why Helian Zi suddenly said this, but it seemed to be a reminder.
"Why didn't you dance with your fiancée? What's the point of drinking here alone?”
He glared at her and drank another glass. "You look really ugly in this.”
"I think I'm prettier than her. At least, I won't be like her. Childish!"
It was childish. Ling Xiaorou had not changed at all. She was still the same childish twin-tailed girl. Before he could refute her, she climbed onto him and kissed him. Coincidentally, Ling Xiaorou turned around and saw this scene. She closed her eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't sit properly just now." As she spoke, she sat up on the sofa." I'll go over there to take a look. I have a few friends.”
When she came over, he grabbed her wrist." We can talk when we're free.”He smiled, and so did she. Only they knew about this smile.
When the meeting ended, Mu Luo did not see Podina. At this time, Ling Xiaorou walked over and smiled at him. He was not afraid that she would see the scene just now. In his opinion, Ling Xiaorou did not know what love was. She was always fickle. He smiled.
When the party ended, Podina did not go home but went to the company because she saw what she wanted. Silike had planned to reach the company earlier, but there was a traffic jam on the way. She was afraid that she would be too late by the time she arrived. It was really too late.
