"Yu, you have to stand up for me... She's really gone too far, I've really suffered so much injustice..." Su Yulu cried with tears streaming down her face, seemingly having suffered a great injustice, and cried out to Xian Mingyu.

Xuan Mingyu looked down at Su Yulu in his arms, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Their argument was quite loud. Even though his office was well soundproofed, he could still faintly hear the arguing. As soon as he opened the door and came out, he saw Su Yuluo and Annie hurling insults at each other from afar, with Gu Yao standing in the middle.

I almost couldn't stop them several times, and they almost started fighting again.

He didn't see the whole story.

However, he saw it very clearly from the moment Su Yulu took off her high heels to hit Annie.

Annie wasn't a newcomer to him. Over the years, Xuan Mingyu knew her personality and character very well. She would never start a shrewish rant for no reason, especially not against someone she had no grudge against.

Su Yuluo's actions chilled him to the bone.

In the past, no matter how willful or short-tempered she was, at most she would say something harsh or turn her head away. But now, she even uses her shoes as weapons in a fight.

If it weren't for Su Yulu's face and those familiar memories, it would be hard for Xian Mingyu to believe that the lively and playful girl he once loved so deeply could have become like this.

"Don't cry. I will investigate the matter thoroughly. In the future, don't take off your shoes so casually, it's embarrassing and sets a bad example."

His tone was indifferent, showing little concern or care.

"I...I was just in a hurry, Yu~ I didn't mean it, it's just that this woman's insults were so awful, I really couldn't stand it...Yu, you'll definitely help me, right? Please fire this woman, okay? I don't want to see her again." Su Yulu persisted, and if Xuan Mingyu didn't fire Annie in front of her today, she would never give up!

How dare she insult her? Humph, doesn't she know who's backing her up? This woman is dead today!

Annie couldn't swallow this insult. This was too much! Who did this woman think she was? Why should the boss fire her?

She stepped out from behind Gu Yao and pointed directly at Su Yulu in Xuan Mingyu's arms. "Shut up! What right do you have to fire me! I didn't do anything wrong! President, if you really want to stand on this woman's side... mmm!" Gu Yao quickly stepped forward and covered Annie's mouth, not letting her continue. If she really angered Xuan Mingyu, being fired would be a huge loss.

"bite!"

At that moment, the elevator doors slowly opened—

Bai Xiaoruo lowered her head, holding a lunchbox in her hand.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator and looked up, all four people standing in the hallway looked at her.

Gu Yao inwardly cried out in dismay; this was truly an incredibly awkward encounter.

Annie was also surprised by Bai Xiaoruo's sudden appearance. Oh no, is a world war about to break out? Looks like there's new gossip to look forward to!

Xuan Mingyu had never expected Bai Xiaoruo to come here, and all his previous anger and resentment towards her were completely unable to be expressed at this moment.

He hadn't seen her for over a week. Even when he went back to the new campus, he avoided going back when Bai Xiaoru was home. He would only go back when Bai Xiaoru had gone to school, and he would leave when she was almost home.

Now, seeing her again, my longing for her has only deepened.

However, this situation is also the most agonizing for Xian Mingyu, as he cannot abandon Su Yuluo.

The first thing Bai Xiaoru noticed was that Xuan Mingyu and Su Yulu were hugging each other. From her perspective, Su Yulu was leaning against Xuan Mingyu like a little bird. She was barefoot, her eyes were red from crying, and her hair was messy. Xuan Mingyu's hand was tightly wrapped around her waist.

She didn't know this woman, but judging from their intimate behavior, even if they didn't know each other before, it would be difficult for them not to know each other now.

It's probably just those beautiful women around him again, huh...

Bai Xiaoruo used to think that the company was a very serious and cautious place, but today she realized that it could also be so casual.

During working hours, the CEO can shamelessly hug and kiss his lover in the corridor.

Annie pried Gu Yao's hand off her mouth and shouted at Bai Xiaoruo, "Xiaoruo, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and teach this shameless woman a lesson! She actually dared to steal from you... um!" Gu Yao covered her mouth again. This idiot, she absolutely cannot say anything in front of Su Yuluo.

Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu's relationship was a secret marriage that could not be made public, and Su Yuluo absolutely could not know about it.

Su Yulu sized Bai Xiaoruo up from head to toe, snorted coldly, and walked up to her, "Who are you? What... are you anyway!"

Although Su Yulu was barefoot, Bai Xiaoruo was still more than half a head shorter than her, so her presence was naturally much weaker.

With Xian Mingyu's protection, Su Yuluo wouldn't take anyone seriously!

If this is yet another shameless woman who overestimates herself and tries to steal her man, humph, she doesn't mind taking action and teaching her a lesson!

Bai Xiaoruo pursed her lips tightly, gripping the lunchbox in her hands.

She looked down at the shoes on her feet. Yes, what was she? She was nothing!

Even standing here is superfluous.
