Chapter 312 Extra 1: Your Husband (Mo Xin)

The weather in April is gradually getting warmer.

It has been almost two months since Lin Yan went abroad.

Su Xing had just finished talking to Lin Yan on the phone and was feeling depressed when he learned that she would not be back for a while.

At this moment, her workmate Zhu Jie came over to her workstation and said, "Susu, it's fifty-four seconds until the end of the shift!"

As soon as she heard that it was time to get off work, Su Xin immediately regained her energy and spirit.

Smiling, he asked Zhu Jie, "Where are we going to find food for lunch today?"

"There's a new Thai restaurant across from my office. I just booked a meal for two, and it's super cheap after the discount. They have Tom Yum Goong soup and pineapple fried rice. Want to try it?"

Su Xin had been craving that spicy and sour taste recently. She immediately gathered the documents on her desk and stuffed them into the drawer. She grabbed her coat that was draped over the back of the chair and said, "Let's go! Let's fill our stomachs."

The two of them walked off work on time and into the elevator. Su Xin's eyes flicked to Zhu Jie and she joked, "Zhu Jie, where's your boyfriend? Shouldn't he usually come downstairs to pick you up for dinner at this time? Why did you choose to ask me out today?"

When talking about her boyfriend, Zhu Jie waved her hand and said, "We broke up last week."

"True or false?"

"Of course it's true."

"Not sad?"

"Why are you sad?" Zhu Jie shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm single, and I'm proud of it. I save condoms for the country! Being single is wonderful!"

Su Xin: "You're quite enlightened, Xiao Zhu!"

Zhu Jie bumped her arm and gossiped, "Hey Susu, you really don't like Jiang Yu? That guy has been pursuing you for a long time, right? I think he's a nice guy, down-to-earth and thoughtful. Are you really not considering him?"

Su Xin: "He's very nice, but there's nothing I can do. He's not interested."

"So which one are you interested in? Tell me and I'll keep an eye out for you."

Su Xin looked up at the elevator ceiling and thought seriously: "I like men with big eyes. Double eyelids are a must. It's strange to say, I never thought about it before, but maybe I'm more mature now? I have to think about my future children's genes..."

Zhu Jie was just about to complain about her obsession with looks when the elevator door opened.

The two of them were chatty and walked out of the company building while chatting.

Zhu Jie suddenly stopped in her tracks and nudged Su Xinyao with her elbow: "Look! That square-faced man in front seems to be looking at us, and he's holding such a big bouquet of roses..."

Su Xin followed her gaze and saw a man standing next to a gray car, standing straight, holding a bouquet of flowers and waving at her with a grin.

It’s Xiang Ze.

Like a hippopotamus.

Zhu Jie: "Who is this?"

Su Xin: "Your husband."

Zhu Jie said disdainfully: "Your husband."

Su Xin covered her face and said to Zhu Jie, "Go to the restaurant across the street and light it up first. I'll talk to him and then come over."

"Fuck!" Zhu Jie opened her mouth wide: "Is he really your husband?"

"Don't spread rumors!"

"Haha, then hurry up." Zhu Jie walked across the street with her hands in her pockets, looking back every few steps as she entered the restaurant.

Su Xin took a deep breath and walked towards Xiang Ze. As soon as she stopped, Xiang Ze took a step forward and stuffed the rose into her arms without saying a word.

There were still crystal clear water droplets on the petals, mixed with the faint rose fragrance that unexpectedly penetrated into her nostrils.

Su Xin was forced to hug the bouquet tightly, her tone filled with uncontrollable helplessness: "Xiang Ze, what are you doing?"

"Ms. Su Xin, today is White Valentine's Day in the West... these roses are..."

"Don't get involved in these nonsense foreign festivals." Su Xin interrupted with a frown, put the roses on the hood, and confronted him.

"Xiang Ze, do you know how much trouble you've caused me by suddenly coming to see me downstairs at the company?"

"You don't understand? Avoidance is the obvious way adults say no!"

"Mimi was going crazy a while ago, and now that he's calmed down, you've started again!"

"Xiang Ze, love requires mutual consent. I've already said it, I don't like you. No matter how much you do, I really don't have feelings for you!"

Xiang Ze was in great pain.

This is a big misunderstanding.

If he doesn't explain, he will be the one to be scolded.

"Ms. Su Xin, I need to clarify something about this. I'm telling you honestly, I made you misunderstand that I liked you on purpose. I just wanted to provoke Second Master..."

"Actually, the one who's been in love with you has always been my Second Master! He's on a business trip this week, so he asked me to come over and give you flowers today! Look, how romantic he is!"

Su Xin didn't take it seriously and was very annoyed: "I said, you two take turns to disturb me all day long, do you really have nothing to do? Whether it's you or Mimiyan, I'm not interested! If you want to play, please find someone else!"

"Take the flowers back, I won't accept them! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Su Xin left with her ponytail swinging.

Xiang Ze stared at the red rose on the hood, pinching his chin as he reviewed the situation.

Which step went wrong?

Why is it so hard to help Erye chase down an idiot?

The cell phone rang at this moment. He looked at the caller ID and quickly picked up the phone.

"Second Master!"

"I'll be back in Beijing at six in the evening. Come pick me up at the airport."

"Don't worry, Master. I remember your schedule. You have a dinner party tonight."

"Rest assured? Can you be assured of this tofu pudding?"

Xiang Ze chuckled, remained silent for a few seconds, and then confessed truthfully: "Second Master... I must be honest with you about something."

"explain."

"I'm... downstairs in the Yishuo Building, delivering flowers to Miss Su Xin for you! I saw online that today is White Valentine's Day, so we have to show our appreciation..."

"Who told you to go look for her without my permission?" The voice on the other end of the line suddenly changed: "Don't you think you've caused me enough trouble?"

"Second Master...I'm just worried because you're making no progress...so I want to help you."

"Being more of a hindrance than a help? I'm full of you."

…

After Su Xin and Zhu Jie finished their meal, they walked side by side on the way back to the company. Both of them had round bellies that looked like small balls.

After crossing the street, Zhu Jie began to think more and more that something was wrong. "Susu, why do I feel like that square-faced man who just came to see you looks familiar? He seems to be... Mr. Xing's assistant... or am I mistaken?"

Su Xin said calmly, "You must have made a mistake."

Zhu Jie nodded slowly: "That's right...how do you know Mr. Xing's assistant..."

The two of them gossiped all the way back to the company.

Just as I was lying down at my workstation and about to take a break, my cell phone rang. It was Mr. Zhang's internal call.

Tell her to go to a social event with him after get off work in the evening.

He said that there is a dinner party with his partners tonight, all of whom are big clients of the Master of Translation. I should go with him to listen and watch more and learn something.

Su Xin was flattered and replied, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the inner drama began.

Good thing, this is a good thing!

Those who can go to social events with Mr. Zhang are either directors or senior managers. How can she, a team leader, get such a good opportunity?

It must be that President Zhang discovered that she was a gem and began to focus on training her, so he gave her the opportunity to access core resources and took her out to see the world.

Su Xin closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, bowing devoutly to the God of Wealth wallpaper on her computer.

"You've made it, Su Xin, you've finally made it! Get promoted, get promoted! Make money, make money..."

As it was almost time to get off work, Su Xin went to the bathroom to put on some lipstick to make herself look more energetic.

Along the way, she kept reciting the "socializing skills" in her mind, and she couldn't make any mistakes.

The car stopped in front of a high-end restaurant in the city center. Su Xin followed Mr. Zhang inside, walked through the corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, and finally entered a private room.

When she opened the door, Su Xin's eyes widened.

There was a large round table in the box that could seat more than a dozen people. Four or five men in suits with a strong aura were sitting at the table chatting. They were all big bosses of various companies.

But soon, her eyes were fixed on the man sitting in the middle of the dining table. She stared at him blankly as if she was under a spell.

He was wearing a dark grey haute couture suit, with deep brows, a high nose bridge, narrow eyes, and lips that were always pressed into a cold, hard straight line. He had a gloomy temperament that made him look like someone who was not easy to mess with.

When their eyes met, Su Xin couldn't control her voice and reflexively shouted out those three words.

"Squinting eyes?"
