Ever since Miss Liu saw Wei Ruolan and Lin Xiao pick up Xi Xi at the same time last time, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head on a sweltering summer day, leaving her feeling instantly chilled to the bone.
She no longer had the courage or confidence to strike up a conversation with Lin Xiao.
To be honest, with XiXi's mother's looks and figure, any man would fall in love with her.
She thought she was fairly attractive, usually giving herself a score of seven or eight out of ten.
Upon seeing Wei Ruolan, he was completely stunned by her face and figure, which were as perfect as works of art.
If Wei Ruolan's beauty is rated at ten points, then she can only get a maximum of 0.5 points.
It's unfair, so unfair!
When the goddess Nuwa created humans, only those who are truly beautiful were sculpted by her own hands, while the common people were just mud splatters thrown from willow branches, right?
The level of dedication is incomparable.
Miss Liu felt so ashamed of herself that she didn't even have the courage to look Lin Xiao in the eye. She just smiled blankly at the other students' parents.
Looking at these ordinary and unremarkable people, Miss Liu felt she could start shaking again!
Giving herself a score of seven isn't too much to ask, is it?
Lin Xiao, unaware of Miss Liu's inner thoughts, picked up Xi Xi and strode away.
XiXi sat in the passenger seat, very excited the whole way, staring at everyone with her big, grape-like eyes.
"Daddy, why didn't Uncle Yang come today?" Xixi asked in her childish voice.
Lin Xiao looked ahead and said softly with a smile, "Dad has a car now, so he can just pick Xixi up and take her home. There's no need to trouble Uncle Yang."
She chuckled softly, seemingly unaware that her father now owned a car.
Because since she was born, she has always been chauffeured around in luxury cars.
The only thing that made her happy was that her father was the one who picked her up.
A moment later, the dark blue Maserati stopped in the ground parking space, and Lin Xiao picked up Xi Xi.
XiXi held her father's big hand, and the father and daughter walked home chatting and laughing.
Chen Moli hurried over and took the small schoolbag from Lin Xiao's hand.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Xixi, you're back! Puff has missed Miss Xixi so much!"
Puff darted out of the house, its two blue-gray cat eyes wide open, watching warily and sleepily as a large two-legged creature led its little human owner closer.
"Meow—" (You're back)
Hee-hee held her father's hand and happily went up the steps, patting Puff's head.
"Puff, are you being good?"
"Meow—" (Good girl)
Upon entering the living room, Wei Ruolan was not there.
"Where's President Lan? Hasn't he come back yet?" Lin Xiao asked.
Chen Moli smiled and said, "President Lan is back and busy working upstairs. Mr. Lin, would you like to go up and see her? Ask President Lan to come down and have a meal with us."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, but still pulled Xi Xi to wash her hands first before going upstairs with light steps.
Inside the study.
Wei Ruolan heard the sound of a car downstairs and knew that Lin Xiao had arrived.
Her breathing faltered slightly, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.
As if possessed, she turned on the monitoring system on her computer and secretly watched Lin Xiao.
At that moment, she knew through the surveillance footage that Lin Xiao was walking towards the study. Her heart tightened, and she quickly closed the surveillance camera.
However, when people are feeling guilty, they are often less reliable than when they are calm.
Surprisingly, she didn't turn it off for the first time; she just shrunk the screen.
Knock knock knock—
A knock came at the door.
Wei Ruolan felt a sudden numbness in her heart, and her mind went blank as if her head was filled with blood.
Fortunately, she turned off the surveillance footage.
It was a close call, but no real danger.
She took a breath, her gentle and dignified voice carrying a hint of nervous relief, "Come in."
Lin Xiao pushed open the door and entered, smiling, "President Lan, dinner's ready."
Looking at Lin Xiao, whom she hadn't seen for a week, Wei Ruolan felt that his temperament had become more and more calm and charming.
She stood up, concealing her earlier panic, and walked past Lin Xiao out of the study.
"The clothes I made for you last time are finished. Take a look and see if they fit. If they don't, take them to be altered."
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "It will definitely fit perfectly. With President Lan's help, quality is guaranteed."
Wei Ruolan was amused by him.
The two walked towards Wei Ruolan's bedroom.
Wei Ruolan secretly glanced at the tall and handsome man beside her, her eyes sparkling with affection.
Lin Xiao felt Wei Ruolan's gaze, glanced back at her, but didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was somewhat strange.
There seemed to be some feelings flowing between the two.
Upon entering the room, Wei Ruolan led Lin Xiao to the dressing room, pointing to the men's clothes hanging on a wardrobe and saying:
"We made two three-piece suits for you, one navy blue and one smoky gray."
"I also made two shirts for you, one with a turn-down collar and the other with a round stand-up collar. I always felt that the round stand-up collar suited you better."
"I also got you two ties. Try them on and see if they fit. Do you like them?"
Lin Xiaomo's dark eyes flickered, and a touch of emotion swept through his heart.
"President Lan is so thoughtful. The fabric of this suit looks excellent, and the workmanship is exquisite. As for this shirt, I know it will fit perfectly without even trying it on."
Wei Ruolan's smile deepened, and she said softly, "Try it. If it's not right, I'll have my master fix it."
After saying that, she turned and left the dressing room.
Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then silently changed into a charcoal gray three-piece suit, paired with a white shirt with a round stand-up collar.
"Lin Xiao, are you alright?" Wei Ruolan's voice came from the bedroom.
"alright."
Wei Ruolan walked over quickly.
She looked closely, her deep eyes immediately lighting up, and she smiled, "It suits you perfectly! It suits you so well!"
