Lin Wanxing happily carried his lunchbox and pen into the company compound. Assistant Qin led him to the top floor by elevator. Assistant Qin glanced at Zheng Hu next to Lin Wanxing and then lowered his head.
"Wanxing, are you bringing food to President Chen?" Qin Junming asked incredulously, looking at the lunchbox he was carrying.
"Yes, I'll bring you food every day from now on," Lin Wanxing said proudly.
Qin Junming scratched his head. Their company had a cafeteria, and he had seen Manager Xie and President Shen go there to eat.
However, fearing that Lin Wanxing might overthink things, he didn't say much.
Lin Wanxing knocked on the door and went straight into Shen Huai'an's office. He happily called out to Shen Huai'an, "Second Brother, look what I brought you."
His smile froze on his face when he saw Xie Xiaodong. Xie Xiaodong was chatting with Shen Huai'an, and the two seemed to be having a good time. Shen Huai'an covered his mouth and laughed, but it was unclear what he was laughing about.
"Wanxing, you're here." Xie Xiaodong turned to look at Lin Wanxing. "I was just talking to Huai'an about our past."
Lin Wanxing frowned. He looked at his smiling second brother and felt unhappy. His second brother never talked to him about the past, yet he could smile so happily at Xie Xiaodong.
Shen Huai'an glanced at Lin Wanxing and said slowly, "Xiao Dong and I used to go to the same school and were even in the same class. Now we're colleagues. Sometimes fate is just too wonderful."
Xie Xiaodong glanced at Lin Wanxing, "Huai'an and I have been very close since we were little. We used to be inseparable friends. Now I am really happy to be able to assist Huai'an."
"Wanxing, I think you won't mind." He looked at Lin Wanxing earnestly, as if afraid that she would say the word "mind".
Shen Huai'an quickly spoke up for Lin Wanxing, saying, "Xingxing won't mind; he's not the kind of person who holds grudges."
Xie Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "I was just judging a gentleman by my own petty standards."
Lin Wanxing clutched the lunchbox, staring intently at Xie Xiaodong. Why was Xie Xiaodong so annoying? He kept trying to disgust her.
He was only deliberately using those old stories to provoke himself because he knew his second brother from the past.
Lin Wanxing was a little unhappy. Without saying a word, he walked to the sofa and plopped down on it.
Xie Xiaodong looked at Lin Wanxing. This child was a bit silly. He had made Lin Wanxing angry with just a few words. No wonder the old lady said that he was not smart enough.
Xie Xiaodong walked over and deliberately asked, "Wanxing, you're not angry with me, are you?"
Lin Wanxing couldn't hide her feelings from him. Xie Xiaodong was too good at hiding them. He liked to use that face and his gentle tone to seem to care about her, but in fact, every word he said was provoking and taunting Lin Wanxing.
"I'm not angry!" Lin Wanxing said irritably.
Anyone could tell he was angry at a glance; the way he frowned and looked so angry was really cute in Shen Huai'an's eyes.
Xie Xiaodong lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Wanxing with a guilty expression. He said to Lin Wanxing with utmost sincerity, "I'm sorry, Wanxing, I made you unhappy again."
"Wanxing, have a cup of hot tea, don't be angry anymore." Xie Xiaodong was always so understanding. Even when he was disliked and misunderstood, he could still smile and pour tea for Lin Wanxing.
"I always make mistakes, but Huai'an and I are really just ordinary friends. You don't need to overthink it. Even if you doubt me, you shouldn't doubt Huai'an."
Lin Wanxing looked up and glared at him. What nonsense was Xie Xiaodong spouting in front of his second brother? "When have I ever doubted my second brother? Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Wanxing suddenly reached out and pushed him; he had no intention of drinking his tea at all.
Xie Xiaodong slowly approached, holding a teacup. Just as Lin Wanxing's hand touched him, Xie Xiaodong suddenly jerked his wrist, knocking the cup over and spilling the scalding tea all over the back of his hand.
Xie Xiaodong winced in pain and called out softly. Shen Huai'an saw the teacup had been knocked over and quickly came over, leaning on his cane, to ask, "Are you alright?"
When asked this question, no one knew who he was referring to, and both of them replied that it was nothing.
Lin Wanxing had already stood up, and he said somewhat helplessly, "I just touched him lightly!"
Xie Xiaodong lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Huai'an before saying, "Huai'an is fine. Xingxing didn't do it on purpose."
With just one sentence, he made Lin Wanxing take the blame. If it wasn't intentional, then Lin Wanxing must have hurt his hand like that, and it had nothing to do with whether it was intentional or not.
Lin Wanxing was at a loss for words. He really had only lightly touched Xie Xiaodong; he hadn't pushed Xie Xiaodong.
The scalding hot tea was poured onto the back of Xie Xiaodong's hand, turning a large red patch on his fair skin, which looked rather frightening.
Shen Huai'an frowned and glanced at Lin Wanxing. He said helplessly, "Xiao Dong, I'll have the driver take you to the hospital."
Xie Xiaodong shook his head and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious, you don't need to worry about me like that. I just got scalded by hot water."
"If you continue to show me this much concern, Wanxing might get jealous."
Lin Wanxing felt like he was about to cry from anger. He felt very wronged, because in his eyes, he was just a petty person who was jealous all the time.
He hurriedly explained, "No... I didn't do it, I didn't do it to his hand."
He will naturally admit to things he did, but how can he admit to things he didn't do?
Shen Huai'an ignored his explanation and instead asked Xie Xiaodong seriously, "Xiaodong, do you really not need to go to the hospital for your hand?"
Xie Xiaodong shook his head and shook his hand. "Just rinse it with cold water."
Xie Xiaodong sighed, looking at Lin Wanxing with a heartbroken expression, "Huai'an, you don't need to worry about me anymore."
After saying that, he left the office. Shen Huai'an watched him leave, then pressed the intercom on the table without saying a word, his expression somewhat solemn: "Assistant Qin, could you please take Manager Xie to the hospital? He burned his hand."
Lin Wanxing stood there helplessly. He felt that coming to the company was a mistake. He seemed to have messed everything up. Xie Xiaodong was really different from others. He could always easily make him lose control of his emotions.
