Xia Zhichu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he rolled around on the bed with his face in his hands.
When Si Mochen finished washing the dishes and passed by her room, he could clearly hear the noise inside, and a wicked smile appeared on his handsome face.
His unintentional actions could make her so nervous.
If they were to become a real couple in the future, wouldn't she be afraid to face him every day?
Xia Zhichu had no idea that the man was lingering outside the door. She kept telling herself in her heart that she should not be tempted by the happiness in front of her. After all, she and Si Mochen still had an appointment in ten days.
Ten days later, it was still hard to say whether the two would break up or get back together. It was not a rational move for her to be overly involved in the relationship at this moment.
Shaking his head to stop himself from thinking too much, Xia Zhichu walked out of the room in his pajamas, intending to wash his hair, clean up and go to bed early.
However, when she came back again, she found that Si Mochen appeared in her room again without her knowing.
As the name suggests, you should try sleeping together first so that you won’t feel uncomfortable when you actually become husband and wife in the future.
Xia Zhichu was about to resist, but the man used the same method to pretend to be asleep, and no matter how Xia Zhichu teased him, he would not wake up.
This lifestyle continued until Friday. Si Mochen cooked every day, and the two of them slept in the same bed, truly getting along like a couple.
On Friday, because of the company's quarterly show, Xia Zhichu couldn't help but ask during breakfast, "Will you show up today?"
Si Mochen naturally knew what she meant by appearing, but in the end he said calmly, "I have a very important meeting today and can't get away."
Xia Zhichu said "oh", but was filled with thoughts about his answer.
He neither openly admitted his identity nor denied his guess.
To this day, Xia Zhichu still can't guarantee whether Si Mochen is the president of Peak Group.
But it doesn't matter. Lina heard that the president attaches great importance to this quarterly show and may come to the scene in person to present the awards. Xia Zhichu thought that perhaps the answer will be revealed today.
The two left home with their own thoughts. Because the quarterly show was held in the convention and exhibition center, Xia Zhichu rode a donkey to the company and then took Lina's car to the scene.
The opening ceremony was scheduled for nine in the morning. When Xia Zhichu arrived, many reporters had already gathered at the scene.
The news about Xia Zhichu being shortlisted for the Milan Fashion Show has also spread. These reporters are squatting here, on the one hand to interview Xia Zhichu about the secret of his success, and of course a big part of it is to interview the president.
As soon as Xia Zhichu appeared, all the reporters rushed over frantically.
"Ms. Xia, I heard that you've been in the Peak Design Department for less than three months, and yet your design was the only one selected for the Milan Fashion Show. What's the secret to your success?"
"Ms. Xia, some people say that the reason your career has been so smooth is because you have strong backing. Is this true?"
"Ms. Xia, it was previously reported that the leader of your department plagiarized your work, which led to you redesigning the work "Derailment." I would like to ask Ms. Xia if you can publish the plagiarized work?"
"Ms. Xia, according to the publicity, your work is based on a dream. Could you provide the content of your dream?"
"Miss Xia..."
The reporters' questions came like a barrage of questions.
Xia Zhichu was surrounded by a group of people, all the microphones were pointed at her, and the spotlights were so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.
Xia Zhichu was a little at a loss.
She had only seen this kind of scene on TV, and she never dared to imagine that it would happen to her one day.
Faced with reporters' questions, she just wanted to leave here quickly.
Lina protected her behind her and answered the reporter's questions very professionally, "Sorry, Miss Xia is not accepting any interviews."
Lina was also caught off guard by the appearance of the reporter.
After all, only people within Peak Group knew that Xia Zhichu was shortlisted for the Milan Fashion Show, but why did these reporters get the news so quickly?
Lina narrowed her eyes and her first reaction was that someone had deliberately spread the news.
At the same time, a black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the entrance of the venue.
Si Mochen saw Xia Zhichu surrounded by a group of reporters in the car, and his handsome face darkened slightly.
"Send someone to help Xia Zhichu."
"yes."
Yan Sen naturally saw it as well and dialed the number immediately.
A moment later, four or five bodyguards in black suits rushed out and protected Xia Zhichu and Lina well.
Unfortunately, even though the reporter wanted to interview him, he couldn't get close to Xia Zhichu at all.
Seeing this, Lina quickly said to Xia Zhichu, "Let's go! These reporters are too difficult to deal with. Who knows what sharp questions they'll ask later. It'll be difficult to handle them with your qualifications."
Xia Zhichu nodded, and with his bodyguards leading the way, he walked smoothly towards the venue.
But she kept looking around, desperately searching for that familiar figure.
However, apart from the strange figures, she couldn't find the person she wanted to see.
Lina knew what she was looking for, and turned her head to look at the exclusive passage. Si Mochen was standing in a gap, looking at the scene from afar. When Lina met his eyes, she made a reassuring gesture to him.
Si Mochen signaled her with his eyes to protect Xia Zhichu well, then walked into the lounge.
Originally, he was going to appear in this quarterly show, but because of Xia Zhichu, he chose to sit in the exclusive area and watch the live broadcast.
Xia Zhichu didn't find any familiar figures and was extremely disappointed after entering the venue.
Is she worrying too much?
Si Mochen did not show up.
Or maybe he is not the big boss of Peak Group.
"Zhichu, what are you looking at? The quarterly show is about to begin." Seeing that she was still looking for Si Mochen, Lina quickly reminded her.
It was not until this moment that Xia Zhichu came to his senses and followed Lina into the main living room.
All colleagues from the design department were present, even Zhao Sichun was at the venue.
She looked particularly exquisite today. Not only did she put on careful makeup, but she also wore extravagant clothes, probably to highlight her identity as the "President's Wife".
As the leader of the design department, Lina still had a lot of things to do. As for Xia Zhichu, he went to his seat and sat down alone.
I don’t know if it was intentional or just a coincidence, but Xia Zhichu’s seat was right next to Zhao Sichun.
As soon as she sat down, Zhao Sichun handed her a red invitation and said, "I'm getting engaged in the middle of the month. All my colleagues in the design department will be there. You should come too."
Xia Zhichu said congratulations and accepted the invitation.
He suppressed his inner uneasiness and opened the invitation with trembling hands, not daring to read the contents.
She was terrified, fearing that the name she saw was a familiar one.
The moment the invitation was opened, Xia Zhichu became so nervous that he felt suffocated and didn't even dare to open his eyes to look.
