Su Xiaoxiao was inexplicably startled when he agreed without hesitation.
As if suddenly remembering something, she warned seriously, "Don't try to do what they do on TV, using reflections in the water to achieve this. Also, I dislike places with water the most. If you dare to do that, I'll immediately take off my bracelet and have Grandpa give you three more whacks."
"Xiaoxiao, do you think your husband is such a rigid and old-fashioned person?" Nangong Yi raised an eyebrow.
He had actually intended to do that, but if she hadn't suddenly reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that she had been pushed into the pool by that mother and daughter.
He reached out and gently pulled Su Xiaoxiao into his arms, saying softly, "Xiaoxiao, let's set the date of our agreement. I will make you fall in love with me before then."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Su Xiaoxiao's face immediately lit up with a smile, and as she looked up at the starry sky, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"Nangong Yi, how come I never realized you were such a gentle person?"
"Because you're stupid!"
Nangong Yi knew very well how she had viewed him back then, but he had only himself to blame.
As he released Su Xiaoxiao, he immediately grasped her small hand tightly and looked up at the vast starry sky with her.
Looking at the smile on Nangong Yi's lips, Su Xiaoxiao felt a strange feeling welling up inside her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was so strange about it.
...
The next day.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao stepped into the office, Li Shuangyue, who was sitting next to her, slid up in her wheeled office chair. After looking Su Xiaoxiao up and down, the smile in her eyes became ambiguous.
"Su Xiaoxiao, who is that man who asked me to ask for leave for you yesterday?"
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback; so that's what Nangong Yi meant.
However, judging from Li Shuangyue's expression, she probably didn't recognize his voice, which secretly relieved her.
"Thank you for your help yesterday."
"It's okay, we're colleagues anyway. But who is that man from yesterday? He was so cold. When I asked him who he was, he just hung up on me."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Li Shuangyue, who had a gossipy look on her face, and her brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.
She always felt this person was strange, always wanting to pry into her private affairs.
If she hadn't been certain that the other person was a long-time employee of the conglomerate, she would have suspected that it was some woman who secretly admired Nangong Yi and had deliberately arranged for her to be brought in with her.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao saw Wan Rongshu and Dong Jinyang at the door. She quickly reminded Li Shuangyue, who then returned to her desk.
However, before she could even look at her work schedule for the day, Dong Jinyang and Wan Rongshu came in.
"Do any of our colleagues in the department have a French proficiency level of C2?"
Dong Jinyang held a list in his hand, on which the names of several employees were checked off, but he was unsure of their French proficiency levels.
"No?"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly had a strong premonition that this was definitely Nangong Yi's way of 'tricking' her out.
Only he knew that he spoke French, and was fluent in it.
"Su Xiaoxiao, I remember you filled in C2 as your French level on your interview application. Did I misread it?" Wan Rongshu called out Su Xiaoxiao directly, giving her no chance to avoid it.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly stood up from her seat. She was now 100% certain that Nangong Yi was behind it all. She remembered very clearly that she had not filled in her French proficiency level on her interview application.
"An important French client of the consortium is coming today. The driver is already waiting in the parking lot. Hurry up and get out."
"yes!"
