C27 (1/2)
When he finished washing the dishes, Shen Xiran was still deep in thought. He knew that Si Lianye had said something to her, ”I'll be going back first, you're welcome to come visit my home anytime …”
After the man left for a while, Shen Xiran finally reacted. By... By...
When did he become so satisfied with him?
However, he said that she was very satisfied with him. The problem was that this was not the main point, she just did not want to eat with him, after all, they were not husband and wife, why did they stay together day and night, moreover, he was the CEO of a large company, in order to save money, to eat with her, was it really fair to do this? Fair?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Shen Xiran got.
But she could never go to his house now to find him and argue, right? God knows, going to his house was like going to a sheep's den. Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Shen Xiran could only swallow his anger.
Compared to eating with him, the bath towel incident from before had made her want to dig a hole in the ground.
And during the day, at the company, it was embarrassing to be the one who flirted with her …
In front of the craft store, Lin Zixuan stood at Shangguan Rou's side, his large body awkwardly wiping the glass at the entrance. Beside him, Shangguan Rou's sharp eyes were always staring at the glass, and saw a few stains on her side being wiped clean.
Aunt Lin, who was in the shop, looked at the two of them and never stopped smiling.
Ever since the last time this man came to buy things, he would come to the shop every single day to help out. Although it was all a big favor, but he always stuck to Rou Er and spoke a few words that made her feel embarrassed. At the beginning, even Aunt Lin had a cold to this kind of flowery words towards him, but after these few days passed, his patience did not decrease, but instead increased, which made Aunt Lin have a whole new level of respect for him.
Gradually, the Aunt Lin also knew his name.
Lin Zixuan.
Outside the window, Lin Zixuan secretly turned his head and looked at Shangguan Rou who was working seriously. After hesitating for a while, he finally said with a serious face: ”Rou Er, can you accompany me for my birthday tomorrow?” These days, Lin Zixuan stayed here often, so he gradually found out her name.
After Shangguan Rou heard his words, her hands that were originally working suddenly stopped, her face was in a daze, but even so, she did not reply.
Seeing her expression, Lin Zixuan was a little disappointed, but he quickly changed the subject, and said: ”If you don't want to accompany me, then that's fine, just pretend that I didn't say anything.” After he finished speaking, Lin Zixuan continued to clean up. It was just that he did not see that after being wiped clean by Shangguan Rou, the glass had become even dirtier.
Seeing that he had wiped the mess, Shangguan Rou did not remind him. Instead, she took a step towards him and started to help him clean up the mess.
After Lin Zixuan had busied himself with the shop for the whole morning, he left in the afternoon when he had something to do. When he came in front of Shangguan Rou to say his farewells, he seemed to be extremely reluctant: ”I won't be here tomorrow.” After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, he turned to the Aunt Lin beside him and said: ”Aunt Lin, I'll leave Rou Er in your care.”
It was a completely possessor's attitude, as if Rou Er was already his person and looked at him.
When Aunt Lin heard his words, she was initially not used to it, but she gradually got used to it. After nodding, he said, ”Drive carefully.” Every time he came, he would always park her car not too far away, which was why the Aunt Lin gave him the orders.
And when Shangguan Rou heard Lin Zixuan's words, she would lower her head every single time with a face full of shyness. After all, to her, Lin Zixuan's words were just too ambiguous.
When Lin Zixuan was about to exit the shop, Shangguan Rou looked at the paper and brush on the table, quickly picked them up and wrote a line of words, then came in front of Lin Zixuan. Very quickly, she placed the paper in her hand into Lin Zixuan's hands, lowered her head and returned to the inside of the shop, looking just like a beautiful flower.
Facing her sudden note, Lin Zixuan opened it and looked at it in a daze. When he saw what was written inside, he started to cheer.
— You pick me up tomorrow.
She promised to accompany him on his birthday tomorrow.
”Rou Er, wait for me tomorrow.” Lin Zixuan happily said these words, and then left with a face full of smiles.
When only Shangguan Rou and Aunt Lin were left in the shop, Aunt Lin's mirror-like eyes fell on Shangguan Rou. After a long while, he asked: ”Rou Er, to be honest, have you fallen for him?” Since she was young, Shangguan Rou had been controlled extremely strictly by the Shangguan Family.
Because of her body's weakness, it was even more so because the Shangguan Family didn't want to reveal her flaw to the public. To be more precise, in order to give her face, the Shangguan Family had asked Shangguan Rou to stay at home for a period of time, and it was as if she was completely raising her. Later on, she had wanted to go to school.
