The next morning.
As the alarm clock on the bedside table rang crisply, the person in bed slowly peeked out from under the covers and reached out to turn it off.
Mmm, I had a really good sleep.
Bai Xiaoru stretched and sat up. She immediately looked around, but there was nothing there. She touched the blankets and pillows, but they were cold.
He couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed that Hsien Ming-yu hadn't slept here last night.
It's like we're in a cold war; ever since that phone call the night before last, he's become increasingly distant towards me...
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's cheer up. A life on my own can be just as good.
She threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, changing into my school uniform, and combing my hair, I went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Since I'm eating alone, I don't need to prepare too much. I'm also too lazy to come back for lunch, so I'll just grab something to eat at the school cafeteria with Shushu.
After quietly finishing breakfast and washing the dishes, I put on my warm coat.
The temperature has been getting lower and lower these past few days, and it's getting colder and colder. Bai Xiaoruo is very afraid of the cold, so she always wraps herself up tightly whenever she goes out.
As I walked to the entrance, put on my shoes, and opened the door, I saw a black luxury car parked steadily at the gate of the yard.
Bai Xiaoruo's first thought was of Xian Mingyu. Was he waiting for her?
She happily jogged over, and the driver, who had been sitting in the driver's seat playing on his phone, saw Bai Xiaoruo come out and quickly got out of the car, bowing respectfully, "Young Madam."
Seeing that it wasn't Xian Mingyu but the driver, Bai Xiaoruo was somewhat disappointed, realizing that she had been deluding herself.
"Young Madam, please get in the car. The young master asked me to wait for you here. I'll take you to school today."
"Oh, okay... then I'll trouble you."
The driver opened the door for Bai Xiaoruo, and she bent down and sat inside.
Although she still had a private car to pick her up, Bai Xiaoruo was not happy at all.
I miss those days when Hsien Ming-yu personally drove me to school. Every morning and every evening, I could secretly observe his serious expression as he drove.
***
"These are all signed, take them out."
"Yes." Annie picked up all the documents that Xuan Mingyu had signed, preparing to take them out for processing.
As soon as I opened the door, I ran into Lu Xinyao, who was standing at the door holding documents and about to knock.
To be honest, although Annie and Lu Xinyao didn't have much interaction, Annie just couldn't bring herself to like her.
At that time, the design director, who was already on edge, was found guilty of plagiarism and resigned without cause. Xuan Mingyu then hastily decided to replace him with Lu Xinyao, an outsider, which was initially hard for everyone to believe.
In addition, Lu Xinyao used to frequently visit the company to see Xuan Mingyu, which was not low-key but rather very conspicuous. Everyone in the company knew about it, so from the first day Lu Xinyao took office, the gossip behind her never stopped. Everyone thought that she got her position by relying on Xuan Mingyu, and that she might even be Xuan Mingyu's mistress.
Annie knew that Lu Xinyao was not someone to be trifled with, so she silently made way for her and closed the door behind her.
"Mingyu." Lu Xinyao walked up to Xuan Mingyu with a smile, wearing nearly seven-centimeter high heels.
Lu Xinyao's arrival was not a surprise to Xuan Mingyu. Ever since she became the design director, she had been coming into his office from time to time.
Hsien Ming-yu was already used to it.
If it weren't for Lu Qianhao, that stingy old fox, suddenly being willing to inject a large amount of funds into the previously cooperated project and demanding that Xian Mingyu arrange for Lu Xinyao to join the company, he would never have let her come here.
Although she was given the position of design director, most of the more important company secrets were handled by other people and would not actually be handed over to Lu Xinyao.
Lu Xinyao came to Qingxian solely for Xian Mingyu's sake, and she didn't care what kind of work he would arrange for her, nor did she ever check it carefully.
Lu Xinyao had been in the office for several minutes, but Ke Xianmingyu hadn't even looked up once, keeping his head buried in the pile of documents in front of him.
"Don't call me by my first name at the company; I'm your boss."
Lu Xinyao pouted, somewhat displeased. She didn't want to treat him as her boss. She was only here to find a job to play around with and to get closer to him more naturally. Calling him boss would only make things more distant.
"I know, but there are only the two of us here right now. Is it necessary for us to be so formal?"
"This is the company. If you want to catch up, you can do it after get off work."
"I..." Lu Xinyao was speechless for a moment.
Why is he always like this? So cold and indifferent, no matter how much she tries to please him, he remains unmoved.
Did he really not feel any anger or upset at all after watching the video I sent him last night?
Or did he not even look at it?
Lu Xinyao placed the document in her hand on Xuan Mingyu's desk. "Mingyu, this is the plan I wrote."
"Okay, leave it there."
He still didn't raise his head, as if Lu Xinyao standing in front of him was someone dispensable and didn't care about him at all.
How could Lu Xinyao possibly give up so easily?
"Mingyu~" she said to him sweetly.
"Is there anything else?" Xuan Mingyu was getting impatient with her. He glanced at Lu Xinyao and then continued working on the documents.
