"Make a cup of lemon water."
In the bathroom.
Mo Chuxi was taking a cold shower irritably, but as soon as he thought about Yan Xinxin’s painful crying from earlier, an intense discomfort filled his heart.
Exactly why he felt so uneasy, he couldn’t pinpoint.
But one thing was certain—he wouldn’t let the man who bullied Yan Xinxin go.
Never.
Yan Xinxin prepared the lemon tea for Mo Chuxi and then locked herself in her room alone, burying herself under the covers, her eyes shut tight.
She had always been the only one who knew, but now, Mo Chuxi also knew.
Perhaps, he had discovered that she carried this kind of trauma...
The soft and radiant morning sunlight filtered into the room. Yan Xinxin’s long curled lashes fluttered slightly.
She opened her eyes and realized it was the next day.
On the dining table, there was a note from Mo Chuxi saying he had already taken Xi to kindergarten.
Yan Xinxin found herself dazed for a mont...
"Bzzz—Bzzz—"
The vibration of her phone snapped her thoughts back. It was a reply from the jewelry design departnt of Di Jue Financial Group regarding her résumé.
In an instant, the gloom clouding Yan Xinxin’s mood lifted considerably. She made a call to Lan Xuan, asking for help to excuse her from her professional courses that morning.
Right now, she only wanted to head to Di Jue for the interview as quickly as possible!
This was her only chance to participate in the jewelry exhibition. She had to seize it!
Yan Xinxin changed into a newly bought outfit, neatly combed her jet-black silky hair, and left the house with a fresh face.
When she arrived at the Di Jue Group’s building, it was just about ti for work to start. She blended in with the other employees stepping into the elevator, unaware that Xiao Yize was standing right behind her.
However, a young female employee had already been stealing glances at Xiao Yize.
Many people in the company knew about the presence of a handso colleague nad Xiao Yize, but few were aware that he was actually the enigmatic chief jewelry designer.
"Wait, wait!"
The elevator doors were about to close when a plump lady rushed in frantically.
As the doors remained open, the plump lady squeezed her way toward Yan Xinxin’s side with a cheeky smile.
Yan Xinxin staggered backward, and Xiao Yize instinctively reached out to steady her by placing his hand on her waist.
"Sorry about that," Yan Xinxin quickly stabilized herself and thanked him.
"It’s alright."
Xiao Yize responded softly, slowly withdrawing his hand from her waist. As he lowered his gaze slightly, he caught sight of the girl in front of him—her unadorned, pure beauty causing a fleeting disruption to his normally steady heartbeat.
He couldn’t help but regret, if only back in school he had summoned the courage to confess his feelings to Yan Xinxin, perhaps they would have been together long ago.
After regaining her footing, Yan Xinxin found the voice quite familiar. Turning her head, Xiao Yize’s fair face, with its subtly delicate features, ca into view, and his eyes t hers.
"Hey? It’s you!"
