"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Please try again later..."
He called several times, but the phone was always turned off. It seemed that Xiaorou was really angry and didn't even give him a chance to explain. Jing Muchen looked out the window and wondered if it was too abrupt to let Xiaorou know his identity all of a sudden.
Xiaorou couldn't accept it anymore. How could he tell her the secret he had hidden deep in his heart? He had originally planned to reveal everything when he came to Country F, but seeing Xiaorou like this, he hesitated...
Jiang Xiaorou's home!
After returning home, she locked herself in the bedroom, sat at the head of the bed, and held a doll in her arms. She held it for a long time.
In the drawer!
She took out an album with many photos in it. Some were taken when she was in school, and some were taken in the past five years when she lived abroad. There was always a tall and straight man standing next to Jiang Xiaorou, like a big tree, who would always protect her.
Ever since Jiang Xiaorou was rescued by her master five years ago, she had always thought he was a middle-aged man, about the same age as her father. Every time she saw him, he always dressed himself up to look older. He had long beards on his cheeks, some of which were graying on his chin, and numerous wrinkles on his forehead, with noticeable wrinkles around his eyes.
Jiang Xiaorou never asked about her master's actual age, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that her master was at least in his forties, almost fifty.
But just now, in the hotel.
Jiang Xiaorou saw the master coming out of the bathroom with his bare chest. His skin was as smooth as hers, and half of his beard had fallen off because of the water. Jiang Xiaorou instantly understood that the master was not an old man, but a very, very young, even very handsome young man, not much different from herself.
In other words, she hadn't been protected by an elder all these years, but by a particularly young man, a man full of hormones. And why did she usually like to throw herself into her master's arms, like to hug him, and those overly intimate behaviors? Looking back now, Jiang Xiaorou felt like she had been deceived.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and I couldn't sleep at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Xiao Rou, are you asleep? I'm your dad."
Outside the door, it was Dad's voice, Dad was knocking on the door.
"No, Dad, come in!" Jiang Xiaorou sat at the head of the bed holding a doll. She was in a bad mood and it was obvious at a glance.
Jiang Xiaorou is a person who never disguises herself. She will write her unhappiness on her face, and people can see it at a glance.
Dad came over and sat next to Jiang Xiaorou.
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend? Do you want to talk to your dad?" asked Dad.
Boyfriend? Jiang Xiaorou suddenly wanted to laugh. Does she look like someone who has a boyfriend?
"Dad, I don't have a boyfriend. Don't make blind guesses. I'm not in love, so you don't need to enlighten me." Jiang Xiaorou said.
Jiang Xiaorou was straightforward, but didn't her statement that she didn't have a boyfriend dash her father's hopes? Her father hoped that she would find someone to marry quickly and stop being single.
"Then why did you run out in the middle of the night and come back looking like you were bullied?" Dad was confused by Jiang Xiaorou.
Jiang Xiaorou looked at her father very seriously.
"Dad, if you have someone you are extremely dependent on, of course, not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but a friend who you treat as a family member. What would you do if you found out that he was cheating on you?" Jiang Xiaorou.
Jiang Xiaorou is so conflicted now. She really doesn't understand. Her master saved her back then and was indeed indebted to her, but why did he hide his identity?
"It depends on the nature of the deception. If his deception of you is well-intentioned and does not cause you any harm, I think it is forgivable. Why not give him a chance and listen to what he says. But if his deception is of the exact opposite nature, then you should really think carefully about whether to continue to be friends with him." said the father.
Dad is an experienced person, so his analysis is naturally reasonable. Jiang Xiaorou also thinks that what her father said makes sense, but she is too conflicted now and cannot face the master for a while.
But if you think about it carefully, even if the master deceived her, but in the past five years, the master has really spoiled her to the sky. Without the master, there would be no Jiang Xiaorou today. What qualifications does she have to complain about the master?
"Thank you, Dad, I understand." Jiang Xiaorou hugged her father and she figured it out.
She would not blame her master, nor would she bear a grudge against him. She just didn't want to see him for the time being, and might have to hide for a while.
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early, you still have to work tomorrow! Okay?" said Dad.
"Good night, Dad."
Jiang Xiaorou had a dream at night. In her dream, she was in a hotel. The master had just arrived. He was wearing a bathrobe and looked very young and handsome. He was completely different from the one in her memory. Jiang Xiaorou was still scared in her dream.
When I woke up, I was covered in cold sweat.
The phone is ringing.
Xu Feng called to urge her to leave. It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning. Normally at this time, Jiang Xiaorou should be in the branch office.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, my dear Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you? The chairman came to the company for inspection today. You are never late, so why are you late today? The chairman has already arrived and is waiting for you." Xu Feng was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Last night, Xu Feng had been busy all night at the company, preparing to perform well for the chairman's visit today, lest he be criticized again. Now, even Jiang Dabo had failed to deliver, and how could Xu Feng handle it all on his own? He was instantly overwhelmed by the chairman's aura, afraid to utter a single word, his legs weakening.
Jiang Xiaorou was still in bed. She didn't want to go to work at the company at all today, just to avoid her master.
"I have a headache, so I won't go to the company. You can handle it yourself!" Jiang Xiaorou hung up the phone directly.
“…”
Xu Feng looked distressed. The chairman personally came to Country F to inspect the work. What a big deal! You know, the chairman never easily went abroad. His presence showed that he valued this branch company. Boss Jiang didn't even show up.
hehe!
Xu Feng could only smile bitterly, the BOSS was becoming more and more willful.
Xu Feng put his phone away, turned around and went back to the chairman. He was really scared.
"Dong, Dong, Chairman, President Jiang..." Xu Feng didn't dare to speak.
Xu Feng knew President Jiang too well. She didn't have a headache at all, but just didn't want to come over. She must be sleeping soundly.
"What's wrong?" Jing Muchen asked.
The harsh voice without a trace of emotion frightened Xu Feng so much that he dared not speak carelessly and could only repeat what Boss Jiang said exactly.
"Boss Jiang said she has a headache and won't come to the company today." After Xu Feng said this, he wanted to die.
It’s over, it’s over. The chairman’s face became more and more gloomy. He must be angry.
"Headache?"
Jing Muchen's heart trembled slightly. He was afraid that it was not really a headache, but that the sight of him gave him a headache! Xiaorou was indeed angry.
