"However, to be honest, I do have someone I like."
Chen Sisi narrowed her eyes into crescent moons.
She looked at Li Ruo and said mysteriously.
"I'm going to see him again in a few days, and I'll take you with me then."
"OK."
After speaking, Li Ruo seemed to have thought of something.
She pursed her lips and added.
"You need to tell me in advance."
"What's the matter?"
"Work is a bit busy."
Chen Sisi's eyes widened, her little face full of surprise.
"Seriously, Li Ruo? You're already so beautiful, and now you're so successful in your career. Are you trying to kill us all?"
Even though Li Ruo hadn't given a detailed introduction yet, he was already showering her with compliments one after another.
Her lips curled up uncontrollably, an expression she couldn't suppress.
Time passed slowly, until night fell completely.
Sitting on the small sofa in Chen Sisi's apartment, Li Ruo held her phone.
Not far away, the sound of running water could be heard coming from the bathroom.
Before taking a shower, Chen Sisi ordered two servings of crayfish, saying she wanted to chat with Li Ruo all night.
She originally intended to refuse, but she couldn't resist the invitation.
As a result, Li Ruo is currently in a dilemma.
Looking down at the phone on the screen, Li Ruo was torn between calling and not calling.
It was just the right time.
The phone rang on my behalf.
Li Ruo answered the call immediately, almost instinctively.
"Mr. Wen."
"Are you at home?"
"No."
Holding her phone, Li Ruo repeatedly pondered how to phrase her words most appropriately.
The other party spoke first.
"I'm going on a business trip today and won't be returning to the villa. If you're scared during the thunderstorm, you can ask the housekeeper to accompany you."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo paused slightly.
She cautiously probed.
"Mr. Wen, may I stay out tonight...?"
She knew that Wen Huaiyan had never liked her staying out all night.
Or rather, I don't like her breaking the rules.
Although he is young, he is rather conservative.
While bold at work, life is full of rules and regulations.
In both her previous and current lives, Li Ruo has never seen Wen Huaiyan break the most basic rules.
So she was just asking tentatively.
Just as Li Ruo was about to change her mind, the other party suddenly asked.
"What's wrong."
Seeing that there seemed to be a possibility of reaching an agreement, Li Ruo hurriedly explained.
"Is that so..."
She spoke each word with utmost respect.
It seemed as if they were afraid of saying something wrong and upsetting the other person.
After the conversation ended, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Li Ruo knew that Wen Huaiyan needed time to think.
"Can."
The two words, light and airy, caught my ear.
Li Ruo stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She asked again, "You just said?"
"Don't let it interfere with tomorrow afternoon's work."
"Yes, sir!"
The call was disconnected.
A profound sense of happiness filled my heart.
Li Ruo was immersed in happiness all night long.
Meeting and spending time with friends is such a therapeutic thing.
The next day, Li Ruo went to the company early.
She knows.
Wen Huaiyan was already showing great mercy last night.
He granted her a morning off, but she couldn't accept it.
Perhaps because she stayed up all night last night, Li Ruo looked drowsy and lethargic today.
Fortunately, the coffee was effective enough, and her excellent work ability ensured that Li Ruo didn't make any mistakes throughout the day.
It was a perfect ending to the day.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Li Ruo waited at the elevator entrance with her bag in hand.
On one side, two female employees were chatting away on their phones.
"Hey, hey, have you seen Qilian's latest movie and stage performance? He's so handsome! How can there be such a perfect person in the world!"
"Look at it, my God, my mouth is watering! If I could have a boyfriend like Qilian, I'd be willing to live in a villa and drive a luxury car!"
"Sister, you really don't tolerate being wronged at all..."
The group entered the elevator, and although the two were still discussing, they lowered their voices considerably.
Qilian?
Li Ruo had heard of this name before.
He seems to be a very popular celebrity recently, and he's very handsome.
I think I heard of this person in my previous life.
Although she could make a living based on her looks, she chooses to rely on her abilities.
After a brief moment of thought, Li Ruo quickly gathered her thoughts away.
She has more important things to do right now—go home.
She thought she was fast enough, but as soon as Li Ruo reached the entrance, she saw those familiar leather shoes.
Just like him, spotless and clean.
The housekeeper noticed Li Ruo and came over to report.
“Miss Li, Mr. Wen has been in the study since he returned, please keep your voice down.”
Seeing the housekeeper's mysterious demeanor, Li Ruo realized that something seemed amiss.
She took the initiative to ask.
"Mr. Wen doesn't seem to be in a good mood today?"
"More than that."
Recalling the way Mr. Fang looked when he came home... his face was so cold, and his eyes were as cold as ice. Wherever he looked, there was utter silence.
"Okay, I understand."
Li Ruo smiled gently.
"Thank you for greeting me."
"fine."
When Wen Huaiyan was upset, she always hated being disturbed.
Li Ruo naturally wouldn't risk this trouble. As a proper canary, she had to stay put for now.
