Chapter 12 His Sincerity and Affection
"Uncle Liu, do you think Brother Yanting will like the cookies I baked?"
Jiang Xueruo asked the driver.
The driver smiled and said, “Of course.”
"I think so too."
Jiang Xueruo carried the bag and skipped into the company.
She tied her hair into a high ponytail, and a light yellow headband in the same color as her skirt fluttered in the air, making her look youthful and energetic.
Jiang Xu felt that his mental state was at least ten years older than her.
In fact, she is only eight months older than Jiang Xueruo.
My father cheated on my mother while she was pregnant, which led to the birth of Jiang Xueruo.
Thinking of the past, Jiang Xu became even more upset.
She shook the unpleasant memories from her head and opened the car door.
As soon as she arrived at her workstation, the team leader called her aside.
"Xiao Jiang, your work has almost been handed over. The manager wants you to resign once you finish the resort project."
Jiang Xu expressed his understanding: "Okay, no problem."
She turned back to the tea room and habitually wanted to make a cup of coffee, but suddenly she remembered that there was a little life in her belly.
Not sure if I want it though.
but……
She put down the coffee cup and filled it with warm water.
As he was drinking, Luo Jiaming came over with a cup of water.
"How's the handover going?"
He asked casually after glancing around to see that there was no one around.
Jiang Xu held up the water cup and said, "It's almost done. We'll leave after the resort project is finished."
Luo Jiaming nodded and glanced at her cup: "I remember you usually drink coffee."
Jiang Xu said calmly, "My stomach has been uncomfortable these past two days, and the doctor told me to drink more warm water."
Luo Jiaming said: "I have some stomach medicine, you can ask me if you feel uncomfortable."
"Yes, thank you."
Jiang Xu nodded and prepared to return to his workstation.
Luo Jiaming suddenly called her: "Are you free tonight?"
Jiang Xu turned around to look at that very pious face and pursed her soft lips.
Luo Jiaming smiled and said, "Nothing. I just thought I might not see you again in the future, so I wanted to treat you to something to eat as a farewell party."
Jiang Xu's eyes swept over his handsome face and nodded, "Okay."
Luo Jiaming's eyes lit up: "I'll wait for you after get off work."
As soon as Jiang Xu returned to his workstation, his colleague came over.
"Is Luo Jiaming pursuing you?"
Jiang Xu was stunned, then burst out laughing.
As expected, in the company, nothing can escape the eyes of gossip.
Seeing she remained silent, her colleague took it as an acquiescence and whispered, "You have no idea how many people envy you. Luo Jiaming is so handsome. Don't be fooled by the fact that the car he drives to work is only worth half a million yuan. Someone saw him outside and he was said to be driving a Cullinan. The cheapest car of that model costs 10 million yuan."
Jiang Xu's expression remained calm as he smiled faintly, "Oh."
"Oh? Is that your reaction?"
My colleague gritted his teeth and said, "You're pretty, and people are interested in you. If you take the initiative, you might become a rich man's wife!"
Jiang Xu has no interest in the identity of a wealthy wife.
I suffered enough from this identity in my previous life.
Just when she didn't know how to end this awkward topic, another colleague came over and handed her a document.
"Take it to Mr. He for his signature. Hurry up, we need it right away."
Jiang Xu said to his gossiping colleague, "I'm going to get busy."
When she arrived at the president's office, she saw Luna holding milk and happily walking into the office.
Just as I reached the door, Luna's voice came:
"Don't worry, Mr. He is in a meeting and it will be over soon. Come, drink some milk first."
Jiang Xueruo said obediently: "Well, thank you Sister Luna."
Jiang Xu wanted to laugh when she heard this. Luna had always thought that Jiang Xueruo was He Yanting's biological sister, and she wanted to please her future sister-in-law.
In fact, this "sister-in-law" was the biggest obstacle for her to become Mrs. He.
She was so lost in thought that she laughed out loud.
Suddenly a voice came from behind:
"What are you standing at the door laughing at?"
Jiang Xu turned her head and met He Yanting's narrow eyes that were so deep that they were charming.
When Luna heard He Yanting's voice, she rushed out immediately: "Mr. He, your sister is here."
He Yanting nodded and looked at the document in Jiang Xu's hand.
He strode in, and after a few steps he turned back to look at her: "What are you standing there for? Aren't you signing? Come in."
As the saying goes, three women make a play.
When she entered, there were indeed three women in the office.
Jiang Xu stood at the door, hesitating and not wanting to go in.
"Mr. He asked you to come in, didn't you hear?"
Luna glared at her and lowered her voice, "Why are you pretending? You just want to attract Mr. He's attention."
He rolled his eyes as he spoke.
Jiang Xu thought it was just a matter of signing, it would only take a few seconds, and went in.
"Brother Yan Ting!"
Jiang Xueluo quickly stepped forward and said, "Look, I made cookies especially for you."
"Xue Ruo is thoughtful."
He Yanting raised his hand and touched Jiang Xueruo's head.
Jiang Xueruo smiled contentedly and glanced at Jiang Xu vaguely: "Try it quickly."
He Yanting looked at her taped fingers and frowned: "Are you hurt?"
Jiang Xueruo sniffed and said, "I accidentally got burned while baking the cookies, but it doesn't matter. As long as you like my cookies, that's fine."
"foolish!"
He Yanting's expression was doting and helpless.
Watching the sweet interaction between the two, Jiang Xu felt short of breath.
Why?
She had clearly made up her mind to leave, but when she saw this scene, she still felt like something was blocking her chest and she felt suffocated.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but He Yanting suddenly called her.
"Jiang Xu, come here."
Jiang Xu had no choice but to walk over and put the contract on the table: "Mr. He, please sign."
He Yanting picked out a good biscuit from the ones Jiang Xueruo was holding and handed it to her: "Try it."
Jiang Xu pinched the corner of her clothes tightly: "No, I don't want to eat."
Luna was furious and walked over and said sarcastically, "Boss He gave you a favor, and you still don't want to eat."
Then she smiled charmingly at He Yanting and said, "Let me try it."
Just as the hand with bright red manicure was about to touch the biscuit, He Yanting's face turned cold: "Get out."
Luna was stunned: "Are you... talking to me?"
He Yanting's eyebrows were gloomy. "If I ask you to tell me again, how did Gao Cheng teach you? You can't even understand what people say?"
Luna was frightened and aggrieved, so she turned and ran out.
He Yanting took two steps towards Jiang Xu and handed the biscuit to her mouth: "I picked the best-looking one for you. Please do me a favor and try it."
The rich smell of cream mixed with butter filled my nose.
Jiang Xu's stomach churned.
"I don't want to eat it, please sign it quickly."
He Yanting waited for her stubbornly. After a few seconds of stalemate, he suddenly pinched her chin and forced her to eat the biscuit.
"vomit--"
Jiang Xu turned and ran into the bathroom next door.
She hadn't eaten anything in the morning, so her stomach was empty. She retched for a long time, but only vomited out a little water.
Suddenly, a warm palm covered her slender back.
Pat gently.
"Is your stomach still not healed?"
He Yanting's voice came, but no emotion could be heard.
Jiang Xu pushed his hand away and glared at him: "I already said I don't want to eat it!"
He Yanting lowered his eyes, his expression unchanged.
But Jiang Xu knew that he was angry.
This is what he does when he's angry, with his eyelids drooping to hide his expression. His face is so dull and cold that it's hard to tell what he's feeling.
Ever since he became the heir of the He family, very few people have disobeyed him. He Yanting is now accustomed to his superior status, and those who disobey him never have a good ending.
Jiang Xu thought he would be angry.
So she turned sideways, closed her eyes and waited for his cold words.
Unexpectedly, there was silence for a few seconds, and then I felt the touch of a tissue on my lips.
He Yanting wiped the gastric juice from the corner of her mouth and said calmly, "You should have told me earlier that you were upset, and I wouldn't have let you eat cookies."
After wiping, he suddenly held her face, and his unique fresh breath fell on Jiang Xu's face.
"You've lost a lot of weight recently."
Jiang Xu looked at him in confusion.
He Yanting's acting skills were better than she thought.
If Jiang Xu hadn't known that all his attempts at kindness were just to please Old Lady He, she would have been almost moved by the sincerity and affection in his eyes.
Suddenly, He Yanting's presence approached.
His lips pressed against Jiang Xu's slightly cold lips.
