"But you guys didn't respond just now."
With a pout of grievance, as if about to cry the next second.
"That's because Jingxi's dance was so mesmerizing, we were stunned."
Ye Xinluo hurriedly explained.
"Really?" Jingxi was still a bit skeptical.
"Really, truer than pearls. If you don't believe me, you can ask godmother Shanshan."
"Yes, yes, that was because your dance was so beautiful, we were amazed and forgot to react."
"Alright then, Jingxi believes you."
Immediately, she broke into a smile.
Whew.
Ye Xinluo and her colleague Lan Shan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally calmed her down...
"Then can Jingxi forgive us?"
Lan Shan tentatively asked.
"I can forgive you, but I have one condition."
She stretched out her chubby little hand to wipe some tears, pondering what condition to bring up.
"What condition?"
Ye Xinluo was sure, this guy's condition had something to do with food...
"I want to eat cake."
As expected...
She actually guessed right.
"Godmother Shanshan will buy you one tonight, okay? But you can only have one piece, too much will give you cavities."
Ye Xinluo chimed in as well, "Yeah, eating too much will give you cavities, you can't have too much at once."
"Alright then."
After thinking for a while, the little one nodded.
One piece is better than none.
Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, no worries about not having cake.
"Then shall we eat first?"
"Okay.."
They finished breakfast, tidied up, and went out.
When they reached the entrance of the compound, Housekeeper Ning was already waiting there.
After handing Jingxi over, Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan went to work.
Just as they sat down at their desks for a moment, the elevator doors opened.
Mo Han walked out of the elevator, holding breakfast in his hand.
Ye Xinluo's gaze didn't linger on him for long but was drawn to the man behind Mo Han.
The man was dressed in a black suit, mature and reserved. One hand was in his trouser pocket, appearing lazy yet dignified. His deep, unfathomable black eyes were slightly squinted, making people dare not look directly at him.
She stared dumbly, forgetting to react for a moment. It wasn't until Mo Han blocked her view that Ye Xinluo snapped back to reality.
"What are you looking at?"
Mo Han spoke in a lazy tone, always with a faint, imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Nothing, good morning, Assistant Mo."
She gave an awkward smile, turning her head to avoid looking in Beichen Rui's direction.
"Assistant Ye, did you have breakfast? I brought you some."
He was about to place the breakfast on her desk.
Ye Xinluo quickly stopped him.
"No need, I already had breakfast this morning."
"Is that so? Why not just leave it here in case you get hungry later."
"This... isn't very good..."
Before Ye Xinluo could finish her words, Mo Han interrupted her coldly.
"If you don't take it, you're giving me no face."
"Alright then..."
After hesitating, she reached out to take the breakfast from Mo Han's hand.
"Thank you, Assistant Mo."
"No need to thank me, if you don't mind, I can bring you breakfast every day."
"Ha..."
Ye Xinluo didn't say anything, while Beichen Rui, standing to the side watching the two, snorted disdainfully.
His gaze lingered on the bag Ye Xinluo was holding, then he turned to glance at Mo Han.
"Bootlicker."
After speaking, he didn't wait for a response and walked straight to his office.
Suddenly, the room fell silent.
Mo Han awkwardly smiled, but in his heart, he was already cursing.
"I have things to do, so I'll be going."
In a flash, he vanished without a trace.
Ye Xinluo looked at the bag in her hand, momentarily at a loss for words.
Sighing, she placed the breakfast aside, picked up her water cup, and headed to the tea room.
Beichen Rui had just entered the office, and right after, Mo Han came in with a grim face.
He closed the office door, then turned around with a look of resentment at Beichen Rui.
The latter leaned lazily back in his office chair, calmly watching him.
"Boss..."
"How could you undermine me like that?"
Mo Han said mournfully.
"What did I do?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow.
"You..."
Mo Han's face turned bright red; this was his first time buying breakfast for a girl.
What was this boss implying? What?
"Boss, what did you mean by calling me a bootlicker just now?"
"It meant exactly that."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said just now, and besides, he didn't name names, was there a need to be so agitated?
"You... I..."
Mo Han was furious.
In front of his own boss, he was always the one getting bullied.
The situation just now was obviously undermining him.
Doing that in front of a girl makes it really embarrassing, okay?
Taking a few deep breaths.
He walked over to Beichen Rui's side, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Why do you always bully people?"
"Scram."
"Nope, you have to give me an explanation today, or I'm not leaving."
Mo Han clung to Beichen Rui's shoulder, shamelessly refusing to leave.
"Scram."
This time, Beichen Rui's tone was noticeably heavier than before.
Mo Han instinctively shrank his neck.
On second thought.
No way, if I leave every time you tell me to, that would really have no dignity, and if word gets out, people would laugh to death.
"Don't be angry, just give me a kiss."
He leaned in towards Beichen Rui for a kiss.
Beichen Rui disdainfully pushed him away.
"Rui, you don't love me anymore, do you have someone new? You won't even let me kiss you."
Unwilling to give up, he leaned in again.
A slap landed on his face, "Scram, don't make me say it a third..."
Just then, the office door was pushed open.
"President, this afternoon you have an important meet..."
Before Beichen Rui could finish his sentence, he was abruptly cut off.
...
Ye Xinluo stood at the door, still in the motion of pushing the door open.
She had just gone to refill her water, and checked Beichen Rui's schedule.
He had an important meeting this afternoon.
So she planned to remind him.
As a result, she didn't expect...
Assistant Mo was leaning over the president's shoulder, and their faces were so close, could they be...
Could they be kissing!
Oh my God!
What did I just see...
"Uh, you guys continue."
She said and was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait, wait a minute."
The two people came to their senses, Beichen Rui pushed the person leaning against him away.
Mo Han was caught off guard and almost fell, but fortunately managed to steady himself.
Standing at the door, Ye Xinluo felt extremely awkward.
"Do you need something?"
Beichen Rui was relatively calm, composed himself, and spoke coldly.
But, anyone familiar with Beichen Rui knew that he wasn't calm at all.
There was a hint of redness on his cheeks that was hard to notice.
"President, you have an important meeting to attend this afternoon."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
She finished speaking and wanted to leave.
"Assistant Ye, it's not what you think it is."
"I mean, I had something to discuss with the president."
"No, no, I mean I wasn't kissing the president."
"Oh dear..."
Mo Han now felt a headache coming on.
He had never encountered such a situation before, and even if he had, he wouldn't be so flustered.
But now it was different, now he had to explain, or else people would think that he and the boss were gay, what then?
