Chapter 495: Plea
Shi Runrun took off her shoes, curled up on the sofa, hugged her calves, and rested her chin on her knees.
"Hubby, my conscience tells me that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. You must never be soft-hearted."
"But I still feel a little bad in my heart. I always think that if I were in their position, I would definitely be heartbroken."
Xiao Xuezheng sighed softly, opened his arms, and hugged Shi Runrun directly in his arms.
He gently comforted her, "Runrun, although you are rational and smart, you are kind and soft-hearted by nature."
"So, even though you know that some things are right and must be done, you will always be unable to accept them emotionally. This is not your fault."
"From now on, I'll be the one doing this kind of thing. If you want to see it, just watch from the side. If you don't want to see it, just don't watch it. Just stay here and be good."
Shi Runrun lay in Xiao Xuezheng's arms, nodded, and then said softly, "No! I must be a rational person, not a person who puts emotions first. I must be worthy of my husband, and in the future..."
Having said this, Shi Runrun suddenly stopped talking.
Xiao Xuezheng looked at her strangely, "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
Shi Runrun shook her head, then lay directly on Xiao Xuezheng's legs and whispered, "I don't know. I suddenly don't want to talk anymore."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Just stay here quietly." Xiao Xue Zheng said lightly.
Xiao Xuezheng noticed something was wrong with Shi Runrun and immediately lowered his head. "Runrun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shi Runrun took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the grief in her heart, and forced a smile. She looked up at Xiao Xuezheng and said deliberately in a wronged tone, "Hubby, I'm hungry!"
"The red bean and red date porridge that I asked Special Assistant Qin to order for you has not been delivered yet?" Xiao Xue Zheng asked unhappily.
Shi Runrun suddenly slapped his head, "Oh, how could I have forgotten!"
Then, she immediately picked up the landline on the table and called the front desk on the first floor, "Excuse me, is the takeaway delivered?"
"Please wait a moment, I'll check it out." The gentle voice of the receptionist came from the phone.
Three minutes later, the gentle voice on the other end of the phone immediately turned into an exclamation.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to send it. I was so busy that I forgot..."
Hearing that the person on the other end of the phone was about to cry, Shi Runrun quickly comforted her: "Don't cry, don't worry, and don't be afraid. Just send it up now."
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll send it over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Runrun suddenly felt something cold next to him.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Xiao Xuezheng's cold and displeased gaze.
Shi Runrun asked tentatively: "Husband, did you hear the phone call just now?"
Xiao Xuezheng nodded coldly.
Shi Runrun quickly hugged Xiao Xuezheng's arm, "Hubby, don't be angry! I don't think she did it on purpose! Please don't blame her later, okay?"
Xiao Xuezheng said sternly with a straight face, "Runrun, some things can be forgiven, but some things must be punished!"
"Qin Feng is the CEO's special assistant, but the receptionist even forgot the meal he personally ordered. This shows that she is not serious about her work, or she is not capable of taking on this job!"
Seeing that Xiao Xuezheng was really angry, Shi Runrun didn't dare to plead anymore.
I thought I would wait until my husband calmed down before pleading for that girl.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Shi Runrun immediately ran out to open the door.
I saw a girl wearing a women's suit, light makeup, and sweating profusely, standing at the door with a takeaway in her hand.
She saw Shi Runrun open the door and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I wasn't responsible for this before. Today I really..."
Shi Runrun glanced back at Xiao Xuezheng lying on the sofa, then deliberately asked loudly, "Excuse me, what were you responsible for before? Who delivered the food to Special Assistant Qin?"
The girl took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She said timidly, "Huang Lili used to deliver it."
"Huang Lili joined the company earlier than us, and she is the eldest daughter of the Huang family. She has a strong background and connections."
"So she said that she would be responsible for delivering gifts to the president, Special Assistant Qin, and several senior executives, and we would be responsible for delivering gifts to general managers and ordinary employees."
Shi Runrun nodded, then immediately turned around to look at Xiao Xuezheng and winked at him, "Mr. Xiao, please listen carefully. This girl was not in charge of this place before."
Xiao Xuezheng looked at Shi Runrun calmly, "Do you want to plead for her?"
Shi Runrun nodded heavily, "Of course, after all, she didn't do anything wrong. Everything turned out like this because of Huang Lili's sudden departure."
"Even if someone has to take the blame, it should be Huang Lili."
Xiao Xue Zheng sat leisurely on the sofa, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrests of the sofa, with an inexplicable depth in his eyes.
When Shi Runrun saw this, he knew there was hope!
All along, whenever my husband is in a good mood and wants to let me go, he will have this expression and make these movements.
Shi Runrun whispered to the girl in front of him, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go and talk to Mr. Xiao with you."
"Okay, thank you very much, young madam, thank you very much, young madam!" The other party thanked repeatedly.
Shi Runrun walked into the office and put the porridge on the small coffee table.
Then, she stood in front of Xiao Xue Zheng and deliberately coughed twice to attract his attention.
"Ahem! Husband!" There was a hint of coquettishness in Shi Runrun's voice.
Xiao Xuezheng raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"
Shi Runrun immediately pouted, "Humph! You know! I want to plead for that girl, and I'm asking if you agree!"
Xiao Xuezheng loosened his collar and said, "That depends on how the young lady behaves."
After saying this, a meaningful smile appeared on his calm face.
Shi Runrun's big eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "Then please don't regret it, Mr. Xiao!"
As she spoke, she took two steps back, rubbed her hands, and then bent down slightly, preparing to jump like a rabbit.
Xiao Xue Zheng also smiled slightly, then opened his arms, ready to welcome Shi Runrun's "flying pounce".
Shi Runrun took two small steps and then jumped into Xiao Xuezheng's arms with her eyes closed!
Xiao Xuezheng caught her.
Shi Runrun laughed happily.
She sat on Xiao Xuezheng's legs, put her arms around Xiao Xuezheng's neck, and asked sweetly: "Husband, how did you know I was going to jump into your arms!"
Xiao Xue Zheng held Shi Runrun's waist to prevent her from falling accidentally.
He lowered his head slightly, resting his forehead against Shi Runrun's, and whispered, "What little trick of yours is it that I can't guess? Huh?"
