Chapter 23 You Are Mine
With her legs crossed, Gu Xia couldn't help but rub them gently. The skin was very smooth, like warm jade.
"It's time to get up."
Ning Anran had woken up a long time ago. If Gu Xia hadn't held her tightly, she would have probably finished washing up by now.
Thinking about the complete falling out with his seniors in the group last night, Ning Anran also prepared himself to be fired.
She felt that there was no point in staying in a company with such a bad environment. If she stayed, she would just become someone else's punching bag.
"Yeah... I understand."
"Ning Anran, can you let me hold you for a while longer?"
Gu Xia, whose mind was not yet clear, still thought she was in a dream. She put her arms around Ning Anran's waist and pressed her legs on top of her again.
He doesn't look like he's going to get up. It's obvious that he's planning to take a nap and continue to be lazy.
"If you hold me for any longer, I'll be late for work."
After hearing these words, Gu Xia woke up from her dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw a piece of snow-white skin.
That’s... Ning Anran’s collarbone!
Several buttons on the collar had broken, and it was obvious who the culprit was.
It’s me!
"I…I didn't mean to do that!"
"I just overslept for a moment."
The confusion in Gu Xia's head cleared up a little, but the sleepiness had not completely gone away.
"I know you didn't mean it, and I didn't say anything."
It's not intentional, it's deliberate.
With a light laugh, Ning Anran's gentle breath hit his cheek. Gu Xia stared at her face blankly, momentarily lost in thought.
She is worthy of being the heroine, so beautiful.
I really want to...
Stop! Gu Xia, what are you thinking about so early in the morning? You actually thought of something dirty about the sacred and inviolable heroine!
You are so rude!
Gu Xia's wandering thoughts were pulled back by herself. She looked at Ning Anran and quickly let go of her hand.
However, how could her arms not feel sore after sleeping like this all night? Gu Xia frowned as she suddenly retracted her hand.
Her hands seemed to be stiff and she couldn't move them at all.
"I'm not going to eat you, why are you so scared of me?"
Ning Anran's slender fingers fell helplessly on Gu Xia's wrist, and she rubbed her arm.
The numbness was relieved, and Gu Xia stared at Ning Anran in a daze, feeling itchy in his heart.
"Why, you wanted to hold me tightly last night, and now you regret it when you wake up this morning and your hands are sore and numb?"
Ning Anran pulled her other hand and continued massaging. Gu Xia's sleeping posture was very improper and he kicked her several times throughout the night.
But fortunately, this guy's strength is about the same as a cat, so it doesn't hurt much when he kicks people.
When you slap someone, it's all talk and no action, and it doesn't actually hurt.
"I didn't."
"Ning Anran, does it hurt when I hold you in my arms?"
Gu Xia felt very comfortable having her hands rubbed, and was reluctant to pull them away from Ning Anran's hands, so she thought of a topic.
There was a selfish motive behind asking this question. Gu Xia thought that if Ning Anran's hand hurt, he would ask his friends to help him skip the class this morning.
She went to the doctor her sister knew to get a prescription for medicine and sent it to Ning Anran.
"It hurts, it's sore and numb."
"But I've long been accustomed to sleeping in your arms—it's not for nothing. Didn't Miss Gu say she would pay me?"
"This beats peeling potatoes in the dead of winter. I couldn't be happier."
Ning Anran had long been accustomed to rubbing his sore muscles in a short period of time to restore them to normal.
She has suffered too much, and it is useless to take a break from her busy schedule.
Staying with this person who is "bad" to her is actually the best person for her.
I don’t know whether I am funny or pathetic.
Speaking of this, Gu Xia thought of the faint scolding voice coming from the other end of the phone last night.
"Ning Anran...why don't you just stop working there and wait a few more days."
"I'll go find my sister and mother and ask them to find you a position."
Hearing Gu Xia's words expressing concern for her, Ning Anran shook her head.
Put her hand back.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Gu Er."
"But if I just leave like this, won't that make those people happy?"
Ning Anran went there today just to get a result and see what choice Dingsheng Group would make. There was no need for her to stay, so she could just leave.
If she is asked to stay, she must seek an explanation for herself.
Let’s calculate the amount of workplace bullying these people have committed.
This plot is in the original novel, Gu Xia can remember it and is deeply impressed by it.
Ning Anran will meet the male protagonist!
"Then I'll go with you."
"I wonder if they dare to bully others."
Gu Xia made up her mind that she just couldn't let the male protagonist take advantage of the opportunity. What was wrong with fighting and competing for it?
That also depends on your ability to fight and grab!
"It's truly amazing that you, the host, have this awareness! This is an awareness that many hosts don't have!"
"This system applauds you, host!"
"You're not going to class?"
When Gu Xia heard that Ning Anran still remembered that she had classes, she felt even happier and couldn't hide her joy.
"Well, painting wouldn't cost you a day. I'm more worried about you getting bullied."
"This is more important."
"Hahahahahahaha! Congratulations to the host, the heroine's favorability value +5."
Hearing the system's prompt tone in his ears, Gu Xia, who was originally unsure, was now even more certain that Ning Anran had no objection to him going with her.
As long as the heroine doesn't resist, then you're halfway to success!
"Why, am I more important than your painting?"
Ning Anran was puzzled.
"Of course, I won't allow my people to be bullied outside... Well, even if Ning Anran wants to bully you, it can only be me who bullies you. Do others deserve it?"
“They don’t even look in the mirror!”
Gu Xia was talking nonsense seriously, which made Ning Anran smile brightly.
…
Outside Dingsheng Group.
The man sitting by the window had a cigarette in his hand. He opened the window and sighed with relief.
"Oh, Xiao Ning finally made it up."
"If I don't smoke for a while, I'll be suffocated to death."
Steam came out of the lighter, the cigarette in his hand was lit, and the man blew a smoke ring out the window.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window, and gradually two figures came into view.
Seeing the familiar figure, the man was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the cigarette in his hand.
That looks so much like the lady’s back!
"Could it be that Madam is worried that Mr. Xiao Ning is following her..."
He was surprised and rubbed his eyelids.
The woman turned around and bathed in the wind. Her eyebrows and eyes were young, and she looked very much like the lady and master when they were young.
There has always been a rumor in Yuanye Group that two phoenixes gave birth to a sparrow.
Ning Jin, the eldest daughter of Yuanye Group, did not inherit the good genes from either of her parents. On the contrary, she has an ordinary appearance and very poor qualifications.
She has done countless loss-making businesses over the years. If it weren't for the huge size of Yuanye Group, she would have squandered it all long ago!
As the Ning family's driver, he often heard servants secretly talking bad about Mr. Ning.
It is said that Xiao Ning is always the master and the mistress, a debt collector in the previous life and a sinner in this life.
"Why do these people have such similar eyebrows and eyes? Could it be..."
He didn't say the rest. He bit the cigarette holder with his teeth and opened his mobile phone with trembling hands. He zoomed in the camera and took several photos of the woman.
Then the man quickly put those photos into his private album.
"I must inform the Madam about this first!"
