Lu Yishan also saw me, and naturally, her expression was not pleasant.
However, she didn't speak as rudely as before. She slowly gathered the documents on Xiao Minxing's desk and said in a charming tone, “Xiao Minxing, I’ll head out first. I’ll wait for you at noon…”
Xiao Minxing nodded, but his gaze was directed towards me.
I bit my lip to keep from turning around and leaving, watching them finish their little performance. Lu Yishan floated past me in her half-meter high heels, and I felt like my teeth were about to shatter.
Meanwhile, Xiao Minxing remained seated behind his desk, not even bothering to stand up. He merely gestured to the sofa beside him and said, “Can you wait for me a moment?”
“Isn’t it unnecessary? Isn’t Miss Apple waiting for you? It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to tag along, right?”
He tilted his head and asked, “Miss Apple?”
I replied irritably, “Yes, she wears Apple Green every day. Isn’t that Miss Apple?”
To my surprise, Xiao Minxing nodded and, after giving me a meaningful glance, said, “Indeed. And she probably isn’t ripe yet; quite sour.”
I…
When it comes to eloquence, there are indeed not many who can match him. I had experienced this before, so even though I was filled with anger at that moment, I stood there stiffly with my mouth open for a long time without knowing what to say.
He raised an eyebrow and said, “You should step back a bit; otherwise, if someone comes in, you’ll have to keep making way. People should stand in the right position from the start; it’s not only comfortable but also helps avoid crowding.”
I had never heard him speak like this before. I couldn’t even figure out what he meant, but judging by his expression, it seemed related to what had just happened with Lu Yishan.
She huffed as she walked over, plopping down onto the soft sofa. When she turned to look at him, he was still smiling.
I couldn't muster a smile, but I felt it was inappropriate to bring up any issues at that moment. Most importantly, I knew I couldn't win, so I just sat there sulking.
After everyone outside had finished work, Xiao Minxing finally got up.
He reached for the coat on the rack and, as he walked over to me, I was about to stand up. However, he sat down right next to me and flipped through the magazine in front of me, asking, "Is it good?"
"Not good," I replied, still carrying a hint of my earlier frustration.
Xiao Minxing didn't mind at all; he smirked and said, "Of course not, nothing is as good-looking as me."
Oh my, did he have no shame? While it was true, who praises themselves like that? The key point was that he had never been this cocky before.
I couldn't help but feel that last night's conversation didn't resolve my inner conflict; instead, it revealed a side of him hidden beneath his handsome exterior.
He glanced at me sideways and knowingly asked, "Surprised?"
I stammered in response, "I feel like I don't know you anymore."
Xiao Minxing didn't care at all; he nodded seriously and suddenly leaned closer, lowering his voice to say, "So from now on, you need to get to know me better—on a deeper level."
The way he elongated his words and his tone of voice, along with the way his eyes scanned me up and down, immediately reminded me of what we had done before our secret talk last night. My face flushed.
The culprit had already stood up and casually pulled me up with him. He fixed my hair and straightened my clothes before saying easily, "Let's go eat; Yishan is still waiting."
I almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The change was just too drastic, so much so that I couldn't keep up at all, one sharp turn after another.
I seriously doubted the sincerity of his words from yesterday; those claims of settling things were just casual remarks. He was still messing with me and seemed to be enjoying it.
I followed him to the garage, and then he drove the car out of the company, heading with the rushing crowd toward the other end of the road.
I really couldn't understand, and I couldn't help but ask him, "Isn't Apple Sister working at your company now? Why do we have to go so far for a meal? Look at this traffic; by the time we get there, it will probably be dark!"
Xiao Minxing didn't respond. Instead, he opened the drawer in front of the car and pulled out a bag of nuts, handing it to me.
I was indeed hungry. Normally, I would have eaten by now if I were at home, but here we were still fighting for the road with others.
After more than half an hour, he finally stopped in the parking lot of a restaurant.
Although this restaurant looked quite nice from the outside, I had no good impression of it. The frustration from the traffic and Lu Yishan's presence made me very reluctant to go inside.
However, Xiao Minxing glanced inside and said, "Let's go. We need to hurry; Miss Apple might confess her feelings to me, and we wouldn't want to miss the right moment."
Upon hearing this, I simply refused to move and glared at him, saying, "If she's confessing to you and not me, why should I be in a hurry? You go ahead!"
Xiao Minxing was surprisingly patient. He wrapped his arm around me and walked inside while saying, "That's not acceptable. You need to witness that your husband is still a sought-after man. If you don't treat me well, there's a good chance another woman will take advantage."
I once again questioned whether this person had changed. Really, that violent, domineering, unreasonable Xiao Minxing seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The person before me was just a silly guy wearing his mask, aiming to carry out his grand plan of punishing me in a different way.
He forcibly brought me into the restaurant and climbed up to the second floor. Reluctantly, I was almost carried by Xiao Minxing as we went up the stairs, attracting the attention of others.
My face was burning, and I lowered my head, wanting to jump down from him, but he wouldn't let go until we reached the second floor.
When I glanced over, I saw Lu Yishan and her brother Lu Yiheng sitting at a table in the restaurant.
Both of their faces looked a bit strange, probably because they had witnessed Xiao Minxing's earlier actions towards me. Lu Yiheng didn't even greet us and just lowered his head.
He pretended not to see us.
Lu Yishan also remained silent, her eyes clearly filled with dissatisfaction and hatred, as if she wanted to chase me away.
Xiao Minxing seemed completely unconcerned about this. He pulled out a chair and settled me in before speaking: "Yiheng, I want to introduce you to someone."
The siblings both looked up at him, and soon Lu Yiheng's gaze shifted to me.
Before I could figure out what Xiao Minxing was up to, he smiled first—a bitter smile that left me even more surprised.
Xiao Minxing directly said: "Qiu Yuan, my current wife, is also my little girlfriend whom I met when I was twelve."
He spoke earnestly, looking at me with each word pronounced clearly, making me feel as if this statement wasn't meant for others but for me.
