Chapter 177 I'm Too Clingy

He glanced at the contract, then handed it to Qiao Xu and said softly, "Baby, let's make a date tonight..."

With her hands empty, Qiao Xu turned and left.

Xu Si'an's smile froze.

Until the end of the workday, everyone coming and going was so verbally attacked by Boss Xu that they wanted to buy a coffin and lie down in it.

Song Jia was the most tragic cannon fodder.

"Boss lady, when gods fight, ordinary people suffer! Please have mercy and save the children!"

Qiao Xu sent her location to Song Jia: "The Bodhisattva Temple is quite efficacious. I'll go pray there early tomorrow."

Song Jia: ······

When the time came, Qiao Xu packed up and prepared to leave.

As I passed by the president's office, I saw Song Jia slinking out.

"Sister, I'm begging you, please coax me."

Qiao Xu raised her hand: "No way, I'm off work. Assistant Song, good luck."

Qiao Xu entered the elevator, the office door was opened, and Xu Si'an looked around.

"Who are you talking to?"

Song Jia wanted to die on the spot: "Boss lady."

Where are they?

"get off work."

Help! Mr. Xu is so scary!

With a bang, Xu Si'an returned to his office, sulking.

One afternoon, he sent her a WeChat message every five minutes, afraid that he had been blocked.

I haven't seen Qiao Xu angry in a long time, and I find her adorable.

But... it's not fun at all.

In the Thai restaurant, Fang Kexin waved to Qiao Xu.

"Mrs. Xu, what brings you here to have dinner with me today?"

Qiao Xu ordered two more dishes and two cups of fruit tea: "Don't even mention it, my boyfriend is incredibly clingy."

Fang Kexin poured her a glass of water: "President Xu is just showing his love for you."

"Xuxu, when are you and President Xu planning to get married?"

"In a few months, I've already secretly ordered my wedding dress."

"And you?" Qiao Xu asked Fang Kexin in return. From Ye Yurou's wedding, she had noticed that Fang Kexin was not as happy as she seemed on the surface.

Her smile froze for a moment: "It's fine."

"Since you're pregnant, when are you getting married? You've been dating for quite a while, and you've already bought a house for your wedding."

Fang Kexin said calmly, "It should be soon."

Qiao Xu didn't ask any further questions. She chatted with Fang Kexin about their recent lives while eating, and also complained about Xu Si'an's shamelessness.

"By the way, Xuxu, who did your company send for this cooperation inspection?"

Qiao Xu raised an eyebrow: "Who do you want? Name your name, and I'll have Xu Si'an arrange it. A handsome guy who's 188cm tall and carries a bag?"

"Please don't."

"I wish it were you, so we could have each other."

Qiao Xu bit her chopsticks: "Okay, I'll try my best. If all else fails, I'll seduce him."

Fang Kexin laughed hysterically.

"Sister, your sacrifice is so inspiring."

Before Qiao Xu left the restaurant, Song Jia texted him saying that Xu Si'an was still depressed in the office and hadn't eaten dinner.

She resigned herself to her fate and drove back to the company, making a sharp detour on the way to buy takoyaki and lemon tea.

These are the things she would buy when she went on dates with Xu Si'an during their university years.

The security guard saw Qiao Xu and went up to greet her: "Assistant Qiao, what brings you back so late?"

"President Xu has left?"

"No, we haven't seen Mr. Xu's car come out yet."

Qiao Xu carried the takoyaki into the elevator.

At the elevator entrance on the top floor, Song Jia paced back and forth for twenty minutes. When she saw Qiao Xu, she almost burst into tears.

"Ancestor, you have finally arrived."

"Did you have meal?"

Song Jia shook his head. If the boss didn't eat, how could he, a mere laborer, dare to?

"Let's go home."

Between the boss and the boss's wife, Song Jia chose the latter.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

When Qiao Xu pushed open the door and entered, she saw the man in front of the desk looking at his phone with a lifeless expression.

"I said I wasn't going to eat, I have no appetite."

Qiao Xu placed the takoyaki on the coffee table, took off her high heels, and lazily nestled into the sofa.

"Oh, you don't want to eat it? Then I'll take it home and feed it to Cherry later."

Xu Si'an tossed aside his phone and said in a sarcastic tone, "You said yesterday that I was your favorite person, and today you're going to feed the things you bought for me to the dogs."

"You said you had no appetite and wouldn't eat, so I went to all the way from near the university to buy it. Aren't you going to eat it?"

Xu Si'an stood up, ripped off his tie, and tossed it onto the table.

"Eat it, if I don't eat it, the dog will get the food."

Qiao Xu nestled on the sofa, her feet resting on his thighs.

Qiao Xu found it amusing to see someone wearing a suit eating takoyaki, so she took a picture and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

Xu Si'an didn't care at all; he didn't really have a persona anyway.

If there is one, it's Qiao Xu's simp.

"Honey, we need to talk about something."

"explain."

Xu Si'an held the lemon tea to her lips: "Slap me twice when you're angry, and don't give me the silent treatment."

"You're so shameless, it hurts my hand if I hit you."

Xu Si'an almost choked to death on the takoyaki in his mouth.

"I was wrong."

Qiao Xu nodded casually: "The business trip documents are approved."

He didn't speak, and pretended to be dead with his head down.

Qiao Xu stepped on him with her toes, and Xu Si'an's Adam's apple bobbed: "Watch your step, or you might end up a widow in the future."

"Other people's husbands treat their wives like royalty."

Xu Si'an sneered, his smile utterly irritating: "Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and I'll kneel down and fawn over you every day."

After eating what his wife bought, Mr. Xu, who had been feeling down, finally cheered up.

"If you take the initiative tonight, you might make me happy and I'll sign the business trip documents."

Qiao Xu looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Really?"

Do I look like someone who would dare to lie to you?

Qiao Xu put on her shoes, picked up her bag, and walked out: "Where are you going?"

"Grab something."

She went back to her office, printed out the approval documents for the business trip, and put them in her bag.

Xu Si'an stood at the door waiting for her.

"Is the document printed?"

Qiao Xu took his arm and said, "Yes, I'll definitely get you to sign it tonight."

Xu Si'an ruffled her hair: "You think I'm clingy?"

"Hmm, so don't be too clingy."

"Especially when we're working, don't keep holding my hand during meetings."

Xu Si'an drove Qiao Xu's AMG, holding her hand with one hand.

He knew he couldn't stick too close, but he just couldn't stop his mind from wandering.

He was terrified that something would happen to Qiao Xu if he let go of her hand.

Just like during the New Year, I almost got attacked by a dog when I went out.

Qiao Xu sensed Xu Si'an's emotions: "Si'an, are you worried about me going out alone?"

Xu Si'an took her hand and kissed it: "I worry, I worry whenever I can't see you."

"Ah Si, I'm an adult now."

"We can't stay together all the time. We need to work, travel for business, and live normal lives."

"If you're really worried, then when I get back from this business trip, can you sign me up for a self-defense class?"

Xu Si'an's tone softened a bit: "Never mind, accidents always happen unexpectedly."

When they got home, Xu Si'an was still sullen. Qiao Xu kissed his lips and said, "Honey, don't be upset."

Xu Si'an put his arm around her waist and coaxed her in a hoarse voice, "That sounds nice, baby, say it again."
