That phrase, "I'll deal with you when I get back," wasn't just a threat...
She was terrified of him, and even more terrified of that bowl of soup that seemed to be killing her.
Murong Xiao rubbed his temples.
"Forget it, don't bother looking for the spare key, I'll sleep in the guest room."
It's not worth waking her up.
But tonight I can only take a cold shower to cool down.
*
Xiang Jin slept a very good night's sleep.
The fatigue of the past few days disappeared, and my energy suddenly returned. I felt refreshed and my complexion improved a lot.
She finished tidying up and went downstairs.
Murong Xiao was sitting in the dining room eating breakfast.
Xiang Jin stopped abruptly, feeling guilty, and quickly ran back to her room. She picked up her things and stomped downstairs, gazing towards the dining room.
"Um, I have some urgent work to do today, so I'll skip breakfast. Goodbye!"
After saying that, she ran quickly toward the door.
"return!"
Murong Xiao's voice rang out from behind.
Xiang Jin paused for a moment, then ran even faster, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Murong Xiao frowned.
"Young master, don't be angry. Madam is just afraid of drinking this soup... Why don't you just stop her from drinking it? It would be better to make some of her usual nourishing soups instead." Aunt Yang couldn't help but offer her suggestion tactfully.
If this continues, my wife will develop a psychological aversion to eating.
"Change it. Research which soups suit her taste and encourage her to drink them every day."
"Yes, young master is so good to his wife."
Aunt Yang smiled.
Murong Xiao snorted twice.
He did this for the sake of some people's health, but some people were completely ungrateful and even treated him like a snake, running faster than a rabbit just now.
Pack these breakfasts; I'll take them with me later.
"Okay." Aunt Yang quickly packed it up and went to get it.
Xiang Jin arrived at the company.
Having finally escaped the clutches of the nourishing soup, she felt that this morning was even more wonderful.
Pei Ji walked up to her.
"Team leader, when are we leaving for Fengrong? The design department is asking me for the specific time so they can organize a meeting with the relevant people."
Oh right, I have to go to a meeting in Fengrong today.
"Ten o'clock. We'll leave once Fang Ya arrives."
"OK."
"By the way, Pei Ji, I haven't thanked you in person for Fang Xinman's matter before. You don't need to be so polite. Just call me Xiang Jin from now on."
“Okay, Xiangjin.” Pei Ji’s ears turned a little red.
Mu Xin...
Just thinking about her name made him feel distant; he couldn't treat her like an ordinary colleague.
After the three of them packed their things, they set off for Fengrong.
Upon arriving at the front desk, they were greeted by Lu Feifei as always.
She seemed to have a special connection with this girl; they had met three or four times in total. Last time, the girl had stopped her from entering.
This time, Xiang Jin handed over her work badge.
"We need to go to the design department on the sixteenth floor for a meeting, thank you." Xiang Jin said politely and courteously.
Lu Feifei was slightly taken aback. She looked at the employee badge and then at Xiang Jin, her eyes sparkling. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be you. I still remember you dragging a sack to see President Xiao before. I didn't expect you to become the head of the design team so quickly?"
How did they acquire such vastly different identities?
Beauty? Body?
Lu Feifei felt a bit sarcastic.
With a charming smile, she led the three to the access control area and had the security guard open the door.
Xiang Jin thanked them again, and the three of them walked towards the elevator.
"CEO Xiao, could it be the CEO on the top floor?" Ran Fangya's ears perked up as if she had heard some big gossip.
"No, she was referring to President Xiao, the Xiao of 'unfilial son'."
Xiang Jin explained.
"Oh...you scared me to death...I've been to Fengrong so many times, and I've never met CEO Xiao before. I heard he's super, super handsome!"
Ran Fangya started to swoon over him.
"It's nothing special," Xiang Jin muttered.
"What, Sister Xiangjin, you haven't met Master Xiao, have you?"
Yeah, we see each other every day, we even sleep together...
Some inappropriate images started flashing through my mind...
Xiang Jin coughed: "No, I was just talking nonsense. But a man like him, his photos for the public must be photoshopped. He might actually look terrible, maybe even have a face full of pockmarks."
Ran Fangya was shocked: "No way... He looks pretty good in the videos too."
"You didn't know videos could be manipulated? Aren't all those filters on TV these days just like that?"
Ran Fangya pondered for a moment: "What you said seems to make a lot of sense."
Xiang Jin said seriously, "Hmm..."
This man is too attractive to women; she wants to ruin his reputation and make him stop attracting so many women.
Just then, two unnatural coughs came from behind.
A gentle voice rang out: "Miss, what she said makes no sense. When did our CEO ever Photoshop his photos to make his face full of pockmarks?"
Swish swish——
The two figures froze instantly.
Oh no, I got caught talking bad about the boss.
Ran Fangya rubbed her head and looked at Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin turned around with a stiff face.
If I hadn't turned around, I would have been fine. But when I did, I almost lost my footing and stumbled back several steps.
At this moment, Murong Xiao stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over with a half-smile. Behind him followed a large group of people, who were now looking at her with solemn expressions.
This woman is so bold!
They actually dared to speak ill of their boss openly; it's simply outrageous!
She even got caught by their boss. Tsk tsk, I wonder how the ruthless and iron-blooded boss will treat her.
A group of people were waiting to see what would happen.
