Chapter 242 A Clean Slip

Seeing that she didn't order, Fu Hange smiled and flipped through the menu: "French steak, and some dessert."

Jiang Xiaoling quickly waved her hand to decline, saying, "Sister Xu, really, it's not necessary."

Despite her repeated refusals, when the dishes were served, Jiang Xiaoling ate them and praised the chef, saying, "Sister Xu, how did you find this place? This food is so delicious!"

"Don't worry about that, just eat. If you like it, I'll bring you again next time."

Jiang Xiaoling chuckled sheepishly, "How could I possibly accept that?"

After the two ate some dessert, Fu Hange pursed her lips and asked, "How are things between you and Xu Yi?"

From the subtle expressions on her face, Fu Hange noticed that her expression changed visibly before she regained her composure and waved her hand to cover it up: "What could possibly happen between him and me? We're just ordinary colleagues."

Fu Hange pretended to say "Oh," then sipped her spoon and asked, "Aren't we friends?"

"no."

"It's obvious he likes you," Fu Hange continued relentlessly.

Jiang Xiaoling seemed to be forced into a corner by her, and her tone became somewhat urgent: "It's impossible between him and me, we're just colleagues."

Fu Hange said "Oh" again, pondering their plans in her mind.

Based on what she had noticed before, Xu Yi did like Jiang Xiaoling, but she really couldn't figure out what was in Jiang Xiaoling's heart. After all, this girl had too many worries and carried too much on her shoulders, which she couldn't understand all at once.

The two parted ways outside the restaurant. Fu Hange planned to go back and keep an eye on Gu Yuan and Bai Xin. Thinking that Gu Yuan should still be working and hadn't had time to eat yet, she bought him a takeout meal.

She smiled and handed it to Gu Yuan, "Eat up, it's still hot, I just bought it."

He looked at the computer screen, his tone somewhat cold: "I just ate, just leave it there."

He'd already eaten? Fu Hange was furious that he hadn't eaten himself to death! It seemed only Bai Xin would bring him food; how could Gu Yuan eat her food? Fu Hange grew angrier the more she thought about it, and ran out in one breath. There happened to be a trash can nearby, and she angrily threw it in.

But after thinking about it, she felt like she was losing out. Why should she run away? Why should she give in? And by running away, wouldn't she be giving Bai Xin an opportunity to take advantage of her?

Fu Hange then turned back and went back into Gu Yuan's office.

Bai Xin was inside this time, and she didn't hold back. She sat down directly opposite Gu Yuan and looked him over just like she did in the morning. However, unlike in the morning, her eyes were filled with resentment this time.

"Mr. Xu, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you have nothing else to do, please go back. Don't wander around like an unemployed bum all day. If you don't come out, no one will know you're Mrs. Gu."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that your coming and going is a bit of a disturbance to other people's normal work."

Gu Yuan slammed the documents on the table: "If you want to argue, go outside! When did this become your place to bicker? Bai Xin, in order not to affect work, I'm thinking of arranging a separate office for you. Do you have any objections?"

Bai Xin suddenly became a little anxious: "No, Mr. Gu, that's not what I meant..."

Fu Hange was secretly delighted. The boss had already said he would arrange an office for her, so what reason did she have to stay here? Now that she was leaving, wouldn't it be less of an eyesore for her and Gu Yuan to do something? With this thought, Fu Hange was overjoyed and wiped the slate clean of her unpleasantness with Bai Xin.

She looked at Bai Xin with sympathy and said, "Assistant Shen, then you might have to suffer."
