Ye Nanning paused for a moment before answering, "She didn't say anything."
As if he hadn't expected her to avoid answering, Du Xiran's eyes dimmed slightly: "I'm too talkative."
Ye Nanning said hurriedly: "She really didn't say anything."
The more he emphasized it, the more obvious it seemed. Du Xiran nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, I understand. Let's go back."
Ye Nanning didn't know whether she believed it or not, but in fact, she was also very puzzled. Mingshuang's behavior at that time was obviously to say something in secret, but when he got close to her ear, he just moved his lips, chuckled a few times, and then left. That's why she was dazed in the elevator for a while, wondering if she was deaf.
After returning home, the two said good night to each other at the door and then went back to their respective homes.
Du Xiran finished her shower exhausted and lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. She stared at the ceiling, as if she was back in that narrow and enclosed space. The flamboyant beauty expressed her love to Ye Nanning openly, which was extremely aggressive, yet not annoying.
Although Mingshuang has only been employed for about a week, there have been many comments about her in the company. Some say that she is arrogant and difficult to get along with, while others say that she is very close to her friends. Apart from these external factors, she is a very capable contestant, making many contestants of the same level feel highly competitive. Even Xu Huan, who has been employed for many years, inevitably develops an inferiority complex. He talked to Du Xiran for a long time, wondering if he had lost at the starting line.
But this is indeed the fact. From the nobility revealed in Mingshuang's daily dress and speech, it can be seen that she comes from a wealthy family and her starting point is already the end point for many people.
Such an excellent girl, who lives a free and easy life, is a perfect match with Ye Nanning in every aspect, even their personalities complement each other. Isn't it what Du Xiran wants to fall in love with Ye Nanning?
In this way, Ye Nanning will have more choices, and will realize that Du Xiran may not be the most suitable person, and then she will retreat and return to a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
She should be happy for Ye Nanning.
......But why do I feel a little bored?
The next morning, the temperature dropped several degrees. Du Xiran took out a down jacket from the closet and put it on. Only then did he feel alive again. He rubbed his hands and went across the street to have breakfast.
Ye Nanning didn't seem to be affected by Mingshuang's confession and acted the same as usual.
While eating, Du Xiran looked at her several times and couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do about Mingshuang?"
Ye Nanning thought for a moment and replied, "Of course I refused. There's no way I could agree to her."
Du Xiran raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked, "How does she know that you like women?"
"She should have known it a long time ago."
"What?" Du Xiran was slightly surprised. "She's only been here for a few days, and she already knows? How did she know that?"
"Maybe... similar people have radars?" When Mingshuang found out that she had someone she liked and blurted out to ask if she liked men or women, she realized something.
Straight girls won’t think that far ahead. Hu Jiaxu’s reaction is a normal one. Until now, people thought she liked a boy.
As they were talking, Ye Nanning's cell phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it, frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Du Xiran.
"Who is it?" Du Xiran asked casually.
"Ming Shuang."
"Oh..." Du Xiran drank milk as if nothing had happened, "Why didn't you answer it?"
Ye Nanning pressed the answer button and waited for the other party to speak.
"Hey, Xiaoye, have you eaten? I brought you breakfast." Mingshuang's voice with a slight smile came from the other end.
"No, I've already eaten." Ye Nanning refused coldly.
"Oh... What about the lunch box I mentioned? Can you bring one for me too? I want to eat the lunch box you made myself." Mingshuang said.
Du Xiran paused, staring at the milk in the cup for a few seconds, and then heard Ye Nanning say, "No, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Nanning looked up at Du Xiran, stunned for a moment, then pointed to her lips: "Mr. Du, here..."
Du Xiran was puzzled: "Why? You don't want me to kiss you again, do you?"
"No." Ye Nanning blushed, picked up the tissue and reached out her hand, but when she was about to touch the other person's cheek, she stopped abruptly.
Du Xiran glanced at her hand, then raised his eyelids and looked at her in confusion.
Their eyes met. Ye Nanning gritted his teeth, touched her upper lip fearlessly, and wiped the milk stains on it.
After a while, when she sat back, Du Xiran slowly blinked his eyes and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and ate awkwardly.
When the two arrived at the company, they ran into Ming Shuang again in the parking lot. Four words immediately flashed in Du Xiran's mind -
Enemies often meet on a narrow road.
"Xiao Ye, good morning." Ming Shuang quickly caught up with them, took the elevator with them, and turned to look at Du Xiran. "Mr. Du, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Du Xiran pulled the corners of her mouth with a forced smile, and then she realized that in such a cold day, she was still wearing a wide-collared coat, with a belt outlining her waistline, and her tall figure.
You are so young.
Looking again, Ye Nanning was no less impressive, also wearing the same coat. Coincidentally, they were wearing the same dark brown coat, making them look like couple outfits.
She stiffly turned her eyes away and caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, wrapped in a bulky down jacket... Why! She was just wearing a very suitable outfit, why did she look like an alien at this moment!
These two people came to usurp her position as the most beautiful woman in the house, and Princess Du was very sad.
There is air conditioning in the company. As soon as she entered the office, Du Xiran took off her bulky down jacket. She wore a shirt and a light blue sweater underneath. The simple outfit added a lot of points to her.
She went out to get some water with the cup in her hand, and walked around deliberately to show off her figure under her down jacket, but no one paid any attention.
The old colleagues have become accustomed to her presence, and the newcomers are all busy working. Even Ye Nanning is so focused on her work that she doesn't notice her movements at all.
After showing off in vain, Du Xiran walked towards the office dejectedly, but met Ming Shuang who came to get water on the way.
Ming Shuang praised: "Boss Du's sweater is very nice."
"Thank you." Du Xiran said lightly.
Even hearing compliments didn't make her happy. This is not right. Du Xiran, something is wrong with you now!
Someone from the Human Resources Department came this morning and signed labor contracts with this group of interns. From today on, they are officially converted to full-time employees.
While the interns were so happy, they couldn't help but organize a group to have a meal together to celebrate.
Yan Zhenghao generously offered to treat everyone, but everyone had to work overtime, so they had to order takeout instead.
Adhering to the principle of not taking advantage of a good deal, Hu Jiaxu also joined in, ordered several dishes, and also signed up for Ye Nanning.
There was quite a commotion here. Ming Shuang, who came over after hearing the news, asked with a smile, "Can I join in?"
Yan Zhenghao readily agreed.
By the time Ye Nanning learned the news, it was already too late. The food had already been ordered, and it would be too inappropriate to withdraw at this time.
Fortunately, this group of people treated her like ordinary colleagues. They would just say hello when they met and would not chat with her too much. At most, she could just sit with Hu Jiaxu during meals.
At six o'clock, Yan Zhenghao shouted, "Friends, the takeaway has arrived, but I can't leave. I need to finish the work on hand and hand it in immediately. Who of you can go and help get it?"
The others also had work to some extent. Ye Nanning glanced at the computer and said, "I'll go."
The others were stunned and looked at each other in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that these words came from her mouth. After all, Ye Nanning usually didn't seem to want to communicate with them.
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Yan Zhenghao said apologetically.
"Xiao Ye, wait a few minutes. I'll be there soon and go with you." Hu Jiaxu said, staring at the screen intently.
"You continue with your work. I'm fine now. I'll go with her." Mingshuang stood up.
Hu Jiaxu: "That's fine, two people should be enough."
"Let's go, Xiaoye." Mingshuang shouted.
Ye Nanning had a headache, but she had to go with her to get takeout for everyone. While they were waiting for the elevator, they met Du Xiran who was about to go out for dinner with his colleagues.
Du Xiran's eyes fell on them, looked them around, and said nothing.
The elevator arrived, and several people squeezed in. Ye Nanning lowered her head and thought about how to explain, but no one asked. Wouldn't it be too strange for her to explain suddenly? And President Du might not be curious about why she stood with Ming Shuang.
She was thinking too seriously, or maybe there were too many people in the elevator, so she didn't notice that someone behind her stretched out his arm to block other people's physical contact with her.
Du Xiran looked at the scene in front of her with a gloomy expression. When she raised her eyes, the owner of the hand also looked back at her and smiled at her.
It looked like a provocation.
Du Xiran looked away unhappily, without even a perfunctory response.
After reaching the first floor, Ye Nanning walked out of the elevator and wanted to talk to Du Xiran, but Mingshuang came out first: "Let's go, don't make them wait anxiously."
Ye Nanning nodded and followed her out. After a while, she looked back and found that Du Xiran was also looking at her. She was delighted and was about to smile when she heard Ming Shuang shout, "Be careful."
Because she was only focused on looking at Du Xiran, she didn't pay attention to the steps at the gate. She missed a step and almost fell. Fortunately, Mingshuang was quick to catch her.
She thanked him in shock and saw Du Xiran and his colleagues coming over.
Old Li smiled and said, "Ye Nanning, walk carefully. It's a good thing Mingshuang held you."
Ye Nanning:...hug?
She looked down and saw that Mingshuang was hugging her!
Ye Nanning subconsciously looked at Du Xiran, but saw that he just glanced at them indifferently, his eyes lingering on her hand on her waist for a moment, and then left with his colleagues as if he saw nothing.
Ye Nanning took two steps back and looked at Mingshuang angrily, but she also knew that it was not her fault and the other party was just helping.
Ming Shuang suddenly came closer and whispered, "You care about Du Xiran a lot."
Ye Nanning was startled and looked at her in surprise. She was unsure of what she meant by saying this and did not dare to respond rashly.
Mingshuang asked meaningfully: "Do you just regard her as your superior?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Let's do our business first. The takeaway has arrived." Ye Nanning turned around and went to find the delivery guy in front of the building.
The two of them walked back with the takeaway food. Ming Shuang stepped on the stairs and said, "I almost fell with you just now."
The topic changed too quickly. Ye Nanning looked at her blankly and thanked her again: "Thank you."
Ming Shuang smiled sweetly: "Don't thank me verbally, just make me a lunch box tomorrow."
"I said no..."
"At least I saved your life. If you were disfigured, wouldn't it be a huge loss? Is it too much to ask you to help make an extra meal?" Ming Shuang said, and suddenly she held her face with both hands, making an innocent and aggrieved expression to act cute, "Please, I want to eat."
Ye Nanning: “…” Acting like a spoiled child is too shameful!
"Please, please~"
Ye Nanning couldn't bear to look at it anymore: "Okay, let's have a meal tomorrow."
"I'm starting to look forward to it." Mingshuang laughed.
After working overtime, it was already late, so she went home to rest for a while, thought for a moment, and went to knock on the door opposite.
Du Xiran opened the door, expressionless: "What's the matter?"
Ye Nanning asked in a low voice: "Boss Du, do you want to have a midnight snack?"
"I'm not hungry."
"How about sweet water?"
"Not thirsty either."
Ye Nanning immediately became depressed and asked, "Boss Du, are you angry today?"
Du Xiran: "Why am I angry? What should I be angry about?"
"That's right..." Ye Nanning was silent for half a minute. Seeing that the other party was still standing there, she felt a little courage and quickly explained, "I know you don't care about what happened between Mingshuang and me, but I still want to tell you that we went downstairs together to pick up everyone's takeaways. She hugged me because I almost fell, and she just held me back."
Du Xiran looked at her quietly for a while and said, "I know."
"Um?"
Du Xiran pulled up her arm and looked her up and down: "So, are you hurt?"
Ye Nanning shook her head, a light flashed in her eyes again, and she hugged her unexpectedly.
Du Xiran's eyes were wide open, his body was surrounded by a faint fragrance, his hands were suspended in the air, he didn't know what to do.
"This is a hug." Ye Nanning let go of her hand shyly, afraid that she would be angry. She didn't know what she was thinking, she held her cheeks with both hands and blinked innocently, "Please, don't be angry with me~"
Du Xiran: “….” What a cunning guy!
