Wei Ruolan gave Lin Xiao a deep look.
Her affection for Lin Xiao was like drops of water accumulating into a gentle stream.
My heartstrings were being manipulated at will by an unseen, capricious hand.
She felt herself becoming intoxicated.
"No, I must give you a gift."
Her tone was firm yet gentle, leaving Lin Xiao no room for refusal.
Lin Xiao didn't want to argue with the client over such a trivial matter, so he could only smile and express his gratitude.
When the family of three, along with their cat, finished their walk and returned home, Wei Ruoju was nowhere to be found.
Chen Moli was wiping the table when she explained, "President Lan, hehe, her aunt left after dinner."
That guy seems a bit off today.
Like an eggplant that's been hit by frost.
However, she didn't like her either.
Let her be.
Wei Ruolan listened and simply hummed in agreement, without asking any further questions.
"Jasmine, take Xixi to take a bath."
Chen Moli agreed.
XiXi tilted her little head up, her big, dark eyes looking at Lin Xiao expectantly, "Daddy, will you tell me a story?"
Lin Xiao bent down, reached out and gently pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks, and softly replied, "Okay, tell me."
Wei Ruolan: "Lin Xiao, come with me."
Lin Xiao followed Wei Ruolan up to the second floor.
Wei Ruolan took out a soft measuring tape used for measuring clothes and came to Lin Xiao.
She said softly, "Open your arms."
Lin Xiao did as instructed.
Wei Ruolan unfolded a soft measuring tape and measured Lin Xiao's shoulder width.
The distance from the bony point of one shoulder to the bony point of the other shoulder.
Then measure the bust, waist, and hip circumference.
Wei Ruolan walked around to Lin Xiao's front, her hands moving from behind her back to in front of him, as if encircling him.
There was almost no distance between them; it was like lovers embracing.
The fragrance emanating from her wafted into Lin Xiao's nostrils—warm, calm, elegant, and understated.
Lin Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
When she measured his hip circumference, Lin Xiao glanced at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
Damn it.
Is this how you test the moral resolve of veteran cadres?
Wei Ruolan had ulterior motives.
She took this opportunity to have physical contact with Lin Xiao.
She appeared calm and collected, but in reality, she used immense willpower to restrain herself.
She wanted to tighten her grip and snuggle into his arms.
The crazy thought of wanting to kiss Lin Xiao's cheek.
I have a wicked urge to pinch his round, full breasts.
...
The atmosphere was strange.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth; it wasn't that he couldn't bear it.
He took a breath and said with a faint smile, "President Lan, your perfume is quite unique. What does it smell like?"
Wei Ruolan bent down to measure his leg length, and upon hearing this, she smiled shyly and said, "Cedar and vetiver smell good."
Lin Xiao hummed in agreement, "President Lan has excellent taste."
Wei Ruolan's ears turned red, and she laughed, "Your shaving lotion smells like cedar, doesn't it? I really like it."
She switched to this cedar-scented perfume after smelling the cedar scent on Lin Xiao's face last time.
Surprisingly, he did like it.
Lin Xiao was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile, "That's an honor for this shaving lotion."
After taking the measurements, Lin Xiao went downstairs to tell Xi Xi a bedtime story.
Wei Ruolan sat beside her, listening and gently stroking Xixi's fluffy little head.
Puff Ball sat beside its little owner, its blue-gray cat eyes half-closed, looking drowsy.
Lin Xiao's deep, gentle voice echoed in the room:
"Long, long ago, there was a little fox who lived in a vast forest."
Every day, the little fox would run around by itself, exploring every corner of the forest.
One day, it discovered a magical tree whose leaves shimmered in the sunlight, just like stars in the sky…
"What kind of tree is that?" a childish giggle interrupted.
Lin Xiao glanced at Xi Xi with a smile, then continued reading.
But he could feel a burning gaze fixed on him.
It was Wei Ruolan looking at him.
Lin Xiao was not used to being stared at like this and was slightly distracted.
Damn it.
He didn't want to always be in such a passive position.
He's like an innocent male college student.
So he fought back.
He took one of his hands and grasped Wei Ruolan's hand.
Finally, that clingy gaze fell silent.
Hee-hee watched as her father held her mother's hand and giggled.
Wei Ruolan blushed with embarrassment at the laughter.
A moment later, both XiXi and Puff fell asleep.
Lin Xiao and Wei Ruolan walked out of the house.
It was already 7:15 p.m.
Lin Xiao looked at Wei Ruolan, "President Lan, I'll head back now. Goodnight."
Wei Ruolan brushed a stray hair from her temple, her deep-set eyes gazing at him with a shy, almost coy, expression.
"Let Lao Yang take you. Goodnight, Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao did not refuse, thanked him, and got into the Bentley Bentayga and left.
Old Yang glanced at Lin Xiao through the rearview mirror and smiled, "Mr. Lin, President Lan is paying more and more attention to you."
Lin Xiao never received such treatment as being picked up and dropped off in the past.
Lin Xiao smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Yang, please stop teasing me."
"I'm just a day laborer. I'm only grateful to Mr. Lan and you for thinking so highly of me and giving me some face."
Old Yang replied, "When you're out in the world, you earn your own reputation. Don't be so modest!"
Lin Xiao chuckled twice, then didn't reply.
Back in his dorm, Lin Xiao took a shower and started drawing.
The inspiration for the painting came from the flowing lemon-yellow skirt of Wei Ruolan.
On a fragrant evening, with the sunset glowing brilliantly across the sky, a family of three and a chubby cat leisurely stroll by.
