Chapter 137 We should keep a proper distance
In an instant, the secretarial office's gleaming eyes collectively fell on Xu Xian through the glass, and the fire of gossip ignited.
What is uncle?
Auntie???
What's the matter with her pointing at Secretary Xu???
Xu Xian's heart trembled, his long eyelashes drooped uncontrollably, and he trembled uneasily.
Her heart was beating like thunder, and the air was so quiet that she could almost hear her own violent heartbeat.
Realizing that she had almost let the cat out of the bag, Xu Yixiu immediately covered her mouth, her big round eyes rolled around, and she cleverly changed her address.
"Uncle, I like that beautiful girl."
Xu Xian slowly breathed a sigh of relief, a faint sweat appearing on his forehead. It was a false alarm.
The people in the secretarial office felt like they were riding a thrilling roller coaster, their hearts going up and down with Xu Yixiu's words.
Jiang Shibai slowly turned around and looked at Xu Xian not far away, with a half-smile on his stern face.
He bent his legs and squatted, put Xu Yixue in his arms on the ground, touched her head, and said meaningfully: "Then you and the little sister can play together outside. When you get tired, come in and find me."
"Okay." Xu Yixiu abandoned Jiang Shibai without any reluctance, skipped towards Xu Xian, and held her hand affectionately.
Jiang Shibai stood up slowly and said to Xu Xian expressionlessly, "Secretary Xu, please help me look after the child."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang." In front of everyone, Xu Xian didn't dare to say "no". She forced a gentle smile.
Jiang Shibai's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned and entered the office.
As soon as he left, all the secretarial staff rushed out and surrounded Xu Xian and Xu Yixiu.
Xu Yixue was an outgoing and courageous person. She wasn't afraid of the adults with strange smiles in front of her at all. She greeted them softly, "Hello, brothers and sisters! My name is Xue'er! I'm your uncle's niece, dear!"
She was so sweet-talking, and the way she introduced herself in a few words made everyone in the secretariat grin from ear to ear.
Tu Xue had long been coveting the chubby pink cheeks on her face, and was eager to touch them.
She is the boss's child, so her consent must be sought.
"Xue'er, can I touch your face? Just for a moment."
Even though Xu Yixiu was only five years old, children were the most able to distinguish between good and evil. She looked at Tu Xue with her clear and bright eyes and moved her face closer to her affectionately.
Tu Xue's eyes lit up and she touched it with satisfaction.
“So soft.”
"Yeah! I feel the same way! My aunt-in-law also loves to pinch my face!" Xu Yixiu let the cat out of the bag before she knew it.
Xu Xian held her palm, squeezed it slightly, and coughed casually.
Xu Yixiu fell silent instantly and did not mention the word "aunt-in-law" again. She was just a little bit short of getting the burger and the bucket of chicken wings!
"Aunt?"
Everyone looked at each other, their interest in gossip growing stronger, but they didn't dare to get any information from Xu Yixiu, for fear that she would let the cat out of the bag in front of President Jiang.
It was time to go to work. Everyone took some snacks and piled them in front of Xu Yixiu before returning to their workstations.
The entire building was bustling with activity. Xu Yixue sat quietly next to Xu Xian, watching cartoons on a tablet and eating snacks.
She also fed Xu Xian two or three snacks from time to time.
After the meeting, Jiang Shibai instructed his subordinates to go to the supermarket to buy some toys and snacks and have them delivered to the secretary's office.
Xu Yixiu opened the snacks and shared them with other people in the secretary's office as a gift, and ended up getting more snacks.
Originally a large bag of snacks was distributed, and when she came back after sharing it around, she had at least two bags of snacks.
Xu Xian was afraid that she would eat snacks without restraint, so he glanced at her slightly bulging belly and said in a low voice, "Xue'er, don't eat too many snacks, otherwise you won't have enough stomach for a burger in the afternoon!"
Sure enough, Xu Yixiu, who originally wanted to eat another jelly, stopped instantly, stared at the pile of snacks and swallowed her saliva, but did not eat another bite.
Seeing that she stopped eating snacks, Xu Xian was just about to concentrate on his work when a message popped up on the phone lying on the table.
Boss: [Mrs. Jiang, please don't eat sweets secretly.]
Xu Xian glanced at the table full of snacks next to him, most of which were sweets that children liked to eat.
She was just a little unhappy when she saw this message.
Does she look like someone who would sneak sweets?
Guaibao: [Mr. Jiang is underestimating Mrs. Jiang. She's not the type to cheat. (Grimace.jpg)]
Boss: Really?
[Then was the little cake on your table that had two bites taken out of it eaten by the little mouse?]
Xu Xian, who was caught, had her delicate hands shaking slightly, and the phone in her palm almost fell to the ground. She looked at the surveillance camera in the corner of the office with resentful eyes.
She didn't know if he continued to watch the monitor, but she still glared at him fiercely.
It really is not a pleasant experience to work under the supervision of the boss.
Guaibao: [Mr. Jiang, that's not right. This is the cake Xue'er shared with the beautiful young lady. It has nothing to do with Mrs. Jiang. (deceit.jpg)]
Xu Xian cleverly distanced himself from the matter and smiled triumphantly at the surveillance camera.
The title of beautiful young lady was bestowed upon her by Xu Yixiu herself. Now that they are in the company, they naturally have to get along according to a different set of rules.
In the president's office, Jiang Shibai sat leisurely on the office chair with his long legs crossed. He glanced at her smug smile on the monitor with a leisurely look, and his phone vibrated slightly.
He looked at the message, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and pressed the intercom phone on the desk.
The phone was connected, and Xu Xian's familiar ethereal voice came into his ears.
"Boss Jiang, what do you want?"
Jiang Shibai looked at the woman's unhappy expression, and with a hint of smile in his tone, he said slowly: "Secretary Xu, please help Xue'er pack up the snacks and bring her in."
Xu Xian replied with a forced smile, "Okay, Mr. Jiang."
After saying that, she was the first to hang up the phone without even saying a word of courtesy.
Jiang Shibai listened to the busy tone in his ear, the arc of his lips became wider, and the cold and aloof feeling disappeared, replaced by helplessness and pampering.
When Xu Xian came in holding Xu Yixiu's hand in one hand and carrying two large bags of snacks in the other, she took off the respectful and gentle smile she had on the outside and casually placed the two bags of snacks on the coffee table.
Xu Yixue let go of her hand and ran towards Jiang Shibai, muttering, "Uncle."
Jiang Shibai hugged her in his arms and walked towards Xu Xian with his long legs.
Xu Xian didn't want to waste time in his office. Adhering to his duties as a secretary, he smiled appropriately and said, "If Mr. Jiang has no other instructions, I'll go out to work first."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Someone grabbed her wrist, forcing her to turn her head, only to see Jiang Shibai's charming face with a malicious smile.
"Mr. Jiang, this is the company, we should keep a proper distance." Xu Xian glanced at his palm and slightly opened her lipstick-coated lips.
Veins bulged on the back of the man's hand, and his large, bony palm easily grasped the slender wrist bone, making it impossible to break free.
Jiang Shibai's thick eyebrows slightly raised, his thin crimson lips moved twice, and his voice was low, "Why rush? Mr. Jiang didn't give any instructions, but Mr. Jiang wants to see you."
"Besides, we've already distanced ourselves from each other, so there's nothing to hide."
