Xuxu found it pointless to carry on the conversation with him . She realized that she'll be the one at a disadvantage in the long run . Hence, she decided to lay on the bed and turned her back against him .
She gave him a 'regardless of what you say, I'm not going to bother about you anymore' attitude .
"Dumb woman . You'll definitely regret it," Yan Rusheng confidently said . He then turned around to leave .
As she heard the man's heavy footsteps sounding more distant, Xuxu closed her eyes and paid no further attention to them .
She had 2 slices of bread and a huge glass of water before she knocked off, hence, she didn't feel hungry and went to bed even though she was still fuming .
Xuxu woke up in the middle of the night, and she felt the thirst rise up her throat . The heater was turned on, and it made the air dry .
She drowsily rolled about on her bed for a while when she suddenly thought of Yan Rusheng . Her eyes widened, and she instantly sat up .
She lifted her quilt, got off her bed, and scurried out . It was pitch-dark outside . Navigating her way around, she extended her hands in search for the switch . When she turned it on, the door was the first thing that caught her eyes .
"This… isn't a dream . It's real . "
Xuxu moved forward to take a peek at the neighboring house . The light from her house partially illuminated it .
"Yan Rusheng?"
He said that he had shifted over that day, but she wasn't so sure if he was still around . Hence, she tried calling for him, but all she heard was her own echo .
As the house was empty, the echo was extremely loud .
She felt goosebumps and instinctively wrapped her arms around her body . She spun around and frantically went to the water dispenser to pour herself a glass of water, after which she took gulps after gulps . She dashed back to her room with lightning speed, locked her door, and snuggled under her blanket .
"Damn that Yan Rusheng . " Tomorrow she will ask someone to seal up that door .
That matter made Xuxu extremely mad . When she saw him in the office the next day, she pulled a long face and didn't speak to him at all . She didn't set foot into his office the entire morning, too .
Yan Rusheng appeared to be fuming too and cast a straight face at her . Instead of letting Xuxu order him his takeaway for lunch, which she usually does, he had Qiao Jian do it .
Qiao Jian brought the food into Yan Rusheng's office . He stood at Yan Rusheng's office desk and looked at him before opening his mouth cautiously . "President, it seems that Madam hasn't taken her lunch . Shall I order one more set for her too?"
Yan Rusheng sneered in response . "Let her fend for herself . "
"Huh?" His response stumped Qiao Jian for a moment . He figured that the two of them must be at loggerheads again .
But they had only made peace a few days ago . Why are they arguing again so soon?
As his subordinate, he felt that he had the responsibility to share his boss' worries and concerns . With a trembling voice, Qiao Jian spoke, "President, every woman loves surprises and romance . You can consider giving Madam a surprise . "
Hearing this, Yan Rusheng raised his head at Qiao Jian, took a packet of tissue, and flung it hard at him . "Get lost!"
To create surprises for her, he bought a house, demolished a wall, and even personally designed the interior .
But that dumb woman just didn't know what was good for her . He invested so much effort yet she didn't appreciate it .
"Ahem, young master, are you sure that was a surprise and not a scare?"
Qiao Jian knew that he had accidentally stepped on Yan Rusheng's toes, and he hurriedly left the office .
Yan Rusheng put down his work and leaned back against his chair, his arms across his chest . He looked at his desk calendar with knitted eyebrows; he appeared to be in deep thoughts . After some time, he gave out a helpless sigh and his expression softened .
"Stupid lass . I'll give you one more chance . "
…
Today is the 29th, which is the day of the New Year's Day Charity Gala .
