Chapter 18 Xia Mian, where is your bald sugar daddy?
Xu Luo looked surprised.
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed, Miss Lu?"
"Interns... naturally have to put in extraordinary effort to become full-time employees. In our company, it's normal for many designers to work overtime until midnight when they're working on proposals and drafts."
A fleeting hint of sarcasm crossed Xu Luo's eyes. Did Lu Lian'er think she came to Xu Luo Jewelry to be a rich young lady?
Lu Lian'er gritted her teeth, as if she had made a major decision, and said, "I can."
"Miss Lu, you've really impressed me. I look forward to you joining Xu Luo Jewelry," Xu Luo said after a few pleasantries.
She looked down on Lu Lian'er at all, but Xia Qinglin was right, the Xia and Lin families had dealings.
It's just an internship position; it's not like we can't give it to someone.
Whether or not she can stay is up to Lu Lian'er herself.
"This stir-fried crab with Baisha green tea is quite good, have a taste." Xu Luo called to Lu Lian'er and Xia Qinglin, "And this braised abalone and fish maw with Wenchang chicken is also a signature dish here."
Xia Qinglin whispered to comfort Lu Lian'er, "Once you become a full-time employee, you definitely won't have to work as hard as an intern. I believe Lian'er can do it."
Lu Lian'er nodded, clenching her little fist. "Brother, I can do it! Brave Lian'er, unafraid of difficulties!"
Xia Qinglin thought she was incredibly cute, so cute that he wanted to kiss her!
He hugged Lu Lian'er in front of Xu Luo, his large hand stroking her head, "Lian'er is the best!"
Xu Luo frowned upon seeing this, feeling nauseous.
This... completely crosses the line between siblings, doesn't it?
The delicious food in front of me doesn't seem appetizing anymore.
Do the Xia brothers have some kind of unusual fetish?
She suddenly understood why Xia Mian seemed out of place among them.
because……
Xia Mian would not cooperate with this disgusting performance, nor would she indulge the Xia brothers' bizarre tastes with such a repulsive act.
Xia Mian's beautiful and lively face, and her stubborn eyes, unconsciously flashed through my mind again.
What a wonderful person!
...
Inside the VIP box.
Xia Mian sat opposite Fu Yanshen, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the incredibly handsome man.
The man lowered his eyes, his slender fingers lightly flipping through the menu. His military green shirt outlined his strong figure, making him handsome and dignified, meticulous and elegant, exuding an irresistible charm.
He seems to be glowing; how can he be so handsome?
Her gaze fell on the man's thin lips. His lips were beautifully shaped, with just the right thickness, perfect for... kissing.
How can I get those kissable, thin lips to utter her name again?
Xia Mian fell into deep thought.
She was aroused by that single word, "Xia Mian," and her heart was filled with longing.
As the delicious dishes were served one after another, she ate them without any appetite.
"What? Not to your liking?" Fu Yanshen raised his eyes, his gaze falling directly on Xia Mian's face.
Xia Mian shook her head. "No."
She thought for a moment, bit her lip, and awkwardly probed, "Do you think... my name sounds nice?"
"Xia Mian?" the man asked, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Xia Mian's ears burned. This time she heard it clearly, very clearly. The two words "Xia Mian" shot into her ears like an electric shock.
It sounds great!
It sounds amazing!
She blinked, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Fu Yanshen. Her voice was soft, "I think my name is a bit too soft. It's not good... I should..."
“Xia Mian…is quite good.” Fu Yanshen interrupted her, repeating her name again, soft and gentle, just like her.
It looked so delicious and soft, and my gaze couldn't help but fall on her slender waist. I knew it would be incredibly soft to pinch.
He suddenly felt a tightness in his throat, and the room felt a bit hot.
He pulled at the collar with his large hand, unbuttoning the first button, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing up and down involuntarily.
As Xia Mian listened to his deep, powerful voice, her name rolled across his tongue, as if gripping her heartstrings tightly, carrying a strong allure.
He held her tightly, so tightly that her ears went numb and her heart trembled.
She unconsciously squeezed her legs together and pushed her slender waist forward slightly.
I shifted my hips uncomfortably in the chair.
The girl's subtle movements did not escape the man's notice. In an instant, his dark eyes seemed to be stung, and he abruptly looked away.
I dare not look anymore!
He exhaled slowly, lowered his eyes, and gripped the chopsticks tightly in his hand, his fingertips turning white from the force.
He even regretted bringing her to dinner; he was the one who suffered.
The air seemed to be burning fiercely, burning away his reason.
Fu Yanshen tried his best to calm himself down, "Xia Mian."
He...he called my name again!
Xia Mian's heart started racing, and it felt like fireworks were exploding in her mind!
She stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her, and asked unconsciously, "What?"
"Bao Qi likes you very much." Fu Yanshen's voice was slightly deep.
Xia Mian was confused. "I know..."
Why bring this up?
“She wants to be your best friend. If you leave the Fu family, she will cry.” Fu Yanshen’s voice carried a hint of awkwardness.
Xia Mian licked her lips.
A couple of days ago he seemed to say that Old Madam Fu would be sad, and today he said that Baoqi would cry.
What is he trying to express?
Her heart raced, and her mind began to wander.
Didn't he dislike her living in the Fu family home? Did he think she was causing trouble for the Fu family...?
After all, she's a stranger, and now she's bringing this up—what's the point?
It will cause her to... to have unnecessary thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, she replied, "But I am a guest."
The man's face immediately darkened, and the air instantly turned icy cold.
Xia Mian lowered her head and stood up. "I'm going to the restroom."
She hurriedly left the private room, feeling pressured when she was with Fu Yanshen. Not only did she often find herself staring at his stunningly handsome face in a daze, but his voice was also just too beautiful!
Especially when I call her name! It's agonizing!
Upon entering the restroom, she let out a long breath, turned on the tap, and the icy water stimulated her skin, briefly bringing her back to her senses.
"Xia Mian! It really is you!"
A sharp voice rang out from behind.
Xia Mian looked up and saw Lu Lian'er suddenly appear behind her in the bathroom mirror.
She raised an eyebrow. "Lu Lian'er?"
What a small world!
Lu Lian'er looked Xia Mian up and down and noticed that Xia Mian hadn't lived a miserable life after leaving home, but instead dressed appropriately and elegantly. A hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in her eyes.
Why are you here?
"Going to the toilet." Xia Mian sneered, "I never knew you had a habit of asking other people when they went to the toilet."
"Xia Mian, stop pretending! You know perfectly well that I'm asking why you're eating at this private restaurant! You can't get in here without a reservation!"
Lu Lian'er couldn't stand Xia Mian's sarcastic remarks towards her.
"I'll come in the same way you came in. You said you made an appointment!" Xia Mian walked past her and started to leave.
Lu Lian'er grabbed Xia Mian's wrist. "Have you hooked up with some shady rich guy? Become someone's mistress? Did your bald sugar daddy bring you here?"
