Chen Wei had been to Instructor Xu's office before; shortly after the class bell rang, he knocked on the office door.
Instructor Xu, assuming it was a student asking for leave, said, "Come in."
Chen Wei pushed open the door: "Instructor Xu."
Director Xu recognized the man as one of Li Xian's men and quickly stood up: "Attorney Chen, hello, hello."
Chen Wei said, "I'm here today to ask for leave on behalf of Miss Xu."
Director Xu quickly replied, "No problem. Xu Nuo is the pride of our Shanghai University. She can go ahead and develop her business with peace of mind. The university will provide support."
…
Just as Xu Nuo had predicted.
Guangzhou was indeed much hotter than Shanghai, but fortunately, she had a special constitution, and when Li Xian held her in his arms, the exposed skin felt slightly cool.
Xu Nuo had long, jet-black hair and snow-white skin. She wore a white chiffon turtleneck blouse and a pale yellow pleated satin long skirt, looking ethereal and delicate.
The man with his arm around her was tall, dressed in a simple black shirt and black trousers, with long, slender arms and legs, an upright posture, and a cold, stern face that exuded a wild and intimidating aura.
William, standing beside them, appeared normal, but his neck was subtly leaning towards them, like a fat rabbit eavesdropping.
All I heard was Li Xian saying in a gentle voice, "It's my fault. I'll help you wipe it later. You can still wear a pretty dress."
Xu Nuo's voice was filled with grievance. She didn't even look at him, turning her face away angrily: "It will take several days to apply it."
Thinking of this reminded her of the pain of being dominated yesterday, and Xu Nuo became even angrier. Her lips were almost pouted to the sky as she accused, "You said you'd let me go if I called you 'husband,' how many times have I called you that? Have you let me go yet?"
Li Xian was in the wrong. Xu Nuo was a soft and delicate piece of candy, and he had always been very restrained, afraid of hurting her. Yesterday, he was just overwhelmed by her calls.
He didn't show it on his face, but his ears had already turned red all the way to the roots of his neck. In the noisy crowd, he lowered his head and apologized to her: "I was wrong."
As soon as I finished speaking, a warm sensation came from my arm.
Li Xian was always vigilant and sensitive, and before William's head touched him, he pulled Xu Nuo to the side.
William, caught red-handed while eavesdropping, was speechless.
Li Xian didn't dare say a single word of dissent to Xu Nuo, but he was known for his sour face when dealing with others.
William took a step back, meeting his gaze, and smiled, "I... I think the weather is nice, the weather is really nice today."
Just then, Xiao Chen and William's assistant Lisa pushed their luggage over and said, "Mr. Li, Madam, we can get off now. The car should have arrived by now."
Li Xian nodded, glanced at Xiao Chen, and led Xu Nuo toward the exit.
Xiao Chen touched his face. Why did he feel that the look that President Li had given him just now seemed to be full of approval?
He couldn't help but wonder if he had just done something praiseworthy.
As soon as Xu Nuo stepped out of the airport, she saw a familiar face.
Duan San walked up: "Brother Li."
His gaze fell on Xu Nuo, and he couldn't help but be amazed and impressed. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Sister-in-law Li."
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Duan San, it's been a long time. You've changed so much."
After being away for many months, Duan San has also undergone tremendous changes.
She changed into decent clothes and had her hair neatly combed. If it weren't for her still silly smile, Xu Nuo wouldn't have recognized her.
Duan San scratched his head shyly: "Is that so? I also think it's a bit big."
Li Xian coughed lightly and said to Xu Nuo, "Let's go, we can go to sleep soon."
Sleep? Wasn't today's plan to visit Fragrant Hills?
Duan San looked at Li Xian: "Weren't we going to burn incense..."
Li Xian glanced at him: "Let's have a meeting first today."
Duan San realized.
Brother Li is truly a man who cherishes and protects women.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
…
During this period, Guangzhou had no five-star hotels, and there were no cars parked everywhere on the streets.
People's clothing styles are polarized.
Some wore bold, bright, and flamboyant clothes, while others dressed simply, some even with patches on their clothes.
Xu Nuo looked out the window, still feeling a sense of daze, as if she were in a dream.
Li Xian was talking to Duan San, glancing at her every now and then. Seeing that she hadn't said a word the whole way, he put his arm around her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Nuo shook her head: "I find it a bit magical."
It was completely different from the Guangzhou she remembered.
"Why?"
Xu Nuo leaned close to Li Xian's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It feels a bit broken."
Li Xian hadn't expected this answer and, fearing she'd find it boring, asked, "Don't you like it here?"
"No, I heard there's a lot of delicious food there."
Li Xian looked at the passenger seat: "Luo Yi."
Upon being called upon, Luo Yi quickly replied, "President Li, what are your instructions?"
What are some good places to eat in Guangzhou?
Luo Yi was taken aback.
Li Xian is a role model in the industry, both in terms of his conduct and public image. The last time Li Xian and William came to Guangzhou, Luo Yi was the one who received them.
He made a schedule in advance, thinking that he should take good care of President Li for the next three days.
I never expected that President Li would be such a workaholic.
Let's not talk about romance, let's only talk about work.
After the meeting, they didn't want to say a single word of idle chatter.
This is why Luo Yi was so surprised when he met Xu Nuo.
Having been turned down last time, Luo Yi dared not arrange any entertainment or dining this time, fearing he might offend President Li. Unexpectedly, President Li took the initiative to ask about it.
"Mr. Li, Madam, the dim sum in Guangzhou is quite delicious and worth trying. You've just gotten off the plane and must be tired from your journey. How about we have breakfast first before starting the meeting?"
Li Xian had originally planned to take Xu Nuo out for breakfast, but Xu Nuo got sleepy on the plane and said she wanted to sleep right after getting off the plane, so Li Xian let her eat the airplane food, thinking he would wait until she had slept enough before having breakfast.
Li Xian looked down at Xu Nuo and asked, "Do you want to have breakfast first?"
The person in his arms shook their head: "No, I want to sleep."
"Okay." Li Xian reached out and covered her eyes, blocking out the light from outside. "Go to sleep."
A tacit silence fell over the car.
The car drove for about twenty minutes before arriving at Red Maple Manor.
This is a new piece of land that Zhong Xu recently bought. The original manor was a product of the last century and has been preserved to this day.
The manor's architecture is magnificent and unique, and a number of people were already standing at the entrance.
"arrive."
"President Li has arrived."
Everyone waited expectantly, only to see Duan San get off the car first.
Li Sheng asked excitedly, "Manager Duan, where is General Manager Li?"
Duan San's original name was Duan Baiyun, but he has now officially changed his name to Duan Shan.
He waved his hand, reminding everyone, "President Li told you to keep quiet."
"ah?"
Be quiet?
Li Sheng asked in surprise, "Manager Duan, has something happened?"
Duan San waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I was just afraid you'd wake people up."
Did I wake you up?
who?
Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that President Li was too tired and had fallen asleep?
Soon everyone will find out.
The usually stern and aloof CEO, who was indifferent to women, gently carried a girl out of the car, his movements and expression making it seem as if he were carrying some rare treasure.
Who is this?
