Wei Ruolan wore a dark blue velvet halter dress.
The skirt hem reaches mid-calf.
It's beautiful and eye-catching.
"Good morning, Lin Xiao," she said with a smile.
Her voice was gentle and dignified.
Her smile was absolutely captivating.
Lin Xiao was stunned.
"Good morning, President Lan." Lin Xiao suppressed the look of amazement in his eyes and replied with a smile.
Wei Ruolan was very satisfied with the micro-expression of Lin Xiao's pupils dilating when he looked at her.
This helped her regain her confidence.
Wei Ruolan approached and gently sat down on a small rocking chair nearby.
She tightened her grip on the seat, after all, it was for XiXi and Puff to play with, and she wasn't sure if it could support her weight.
She gently swayed, her deep eyes sweeping over Lin Xiao's handsome face before landing on Puff, who was focused on eating.
Lin Xiao felt her scrutinizing gaze and took the initiative to defuse the awkward atmosphere.
He smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well last night, Mr. Lan?"
Wei Ruolan raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "What do you think?"
She watched Ji Ran's videos until 1 a.m. last night, and when she got to bed, her mind wandered until she finally drifted off to sleep around 2 a.m.
She only slept for less than five hours in total.
I can't get enough sleep, I just can't get enough sleep.
But she had to work overtime at the company this weekend, with important and urgent work to handle, so she had no choice but to bravely get up.
The thought that Lin Xiao was still here prompted her to choose this battle robe and use foundation to cover the dark circles under her eyes.
At this moment, she was somewhat curious whether Lin Xiao, this straight-laced guy, could actually figure it out.
Lin Xiao's gaze lingered on Wei Ruolan's exceptionally beautiful face.
Her skin was like jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyebrows were lightly drawn, making her a sight to behold.
Despite her beauty, Lin Xiao could still sense from the fatigue in her eyes that she hadn't had a good rest last night.
So he suppressed his smile and said gently, "President Lan, is something troubling you?"
Wei Ruolan was taken aback.
"There are always things that bother you."
"As long as a person is alive, there will always be troubles."
"Lin Xiao, don't you have any worries?"
Lin Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Of course I have worries too. But before I go to sleep, I always clear my mind and don't let my troubles continue to bother me."
The Buddhist teachings say, "Let go of all three thousand afflictions."
"President Lan, you can try it tonight too. I've personally tested it and it works."
Wei Ruolan's eyes lit up, and she said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so talented?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows. "There are many things that President Lan can't imagine."
Wei Ruolan raised her eyebrows, recalling how she had overheard Ji Ran's story last night and how she had studied her as if she had lost control—it was both laughable and pathetic.
She suppressed her inner turmoil and smiled gently.
"Lin Xiao, last night... who was the person who took over my and Xixi's time slot?"
She didn't ask who she was.
She just wanted to know what kind of woman Ji Ran was in Lin Xiao's eyes.
Lin Xiao's smile froze.
They've arrived.
It's finally here.
This damn curiosity!
This inexplicable urge to explore!
A smile returned to Lin Xiao's lips, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, President Lan. Protecting the privacy of every client is my job responsibility."
"It is my professional ethics to avoid talking about or commenting on my clients to any third party."
"I think President Lan wouldn't want me to talk about you and Xixi with any third party, right?"
A hint of displeasure and disappointment at being rejected flashed in Wei Ruolan's eyes.
A moment of silence.
She simply stood up and said calmly, "You're wrong, Lin Xiao."
Everyone wants to be the exception.
"And I am no exception."
After saying that, she left the small room somewhat dejectedly.
Lin Xiao felt something was off, sensing that Wei Ruolan was implying something.
But he had no evidence.
Finally, he decided to give up and left after finishing his noodles.
The rice noodles were very fragrant and delicious.
It's soft and chewy on the palate, with a spicy and stimulating flavor.
Lin Xiao ate his fill.
Wei Ruolan ate whole wheat toast and avocado, along with a cup of black coffee.
Seeing Lin Xiao eating with great relish, she couldn't help but swallow hard and asked Chen Moli, "Is there any more rice noodles?"
Chen Moli shook her head and smiled, "That's all, President Lan. I only made enough for Mr. Lin."
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Wei Ruolan's eyes.
She also wanted to try what the rice noodles tasted like that made Lin Xiao eat so deliciously!
Chen Moli hurriedly said, "President Lan, shall I make you another one?"
Wei Ruolan shook her head, "No need."
She can't eat that much either.
Why waste time?
Lin Xiao looked up from the fragrant rice noodles, pursed his red, oily lips, and tentatively asked with a smile, "President Lan, if you don't mind, I... I'll share some with you?"
He had assumed that Wei Ruolan, who was obsessed with cleanliness, would politely refuse.
After all, he only made this suggestion at the risk of his life out of professional sycophantism.
The purpose, of course, is to appear thoughtful.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Ruolan actually agreed in a very serious manner!
"I don't mind," Wei Ruolan said, her face stunningly beautiful.
Lin Xiao Petrochemical.
Chen Moli was shocked.
Well……
This is not scientific.
Lin Xiao snapped out of his daze and forced a smile, saying, "That...that's truly my honor."
Chen Moli quickly ran to the kitchen to fetch a small bowl and a pair of clean chopsticks.
Lin Xiao picked out a small half bowl of rice noodles from a place he had never eaten before and gave it to Wei Ruolan.
