Ou Jue’s voice was low and deliberate as he spoke, "The eting hasn’t started yet."
The employees on the other side of the webcam: ???
Seriously, what do you an it hasn’t started yet? It obviously started, but halfway through, the boss’s phone rang once, he glanced at it, threw out a cold "pause the eting" to the cara, and started taking the call, okay??
The computer screen was split into two fras.
On one side sat several n in suits, all collectively staring at their big boss.
"Oh, I see~" Xiyan’s breezy voice ca through the phone, "Actually, you don’t have to pick up every day..."
"Who else would you want to pick you up?" The tone was extrely dangerous.
Xiyan quickly replied, "I an, I can go by myself. I’ve always gone to school alone before."
"That was before."
"I just feel like it’s a bit troubleso..."
Ou Jue leaned back entirely against the swivel chair behind him, exuding an effortless aura of dominance.
His expression was indifferent as he spoke, "Don’t you trouble enough on a daily basis? What difference does one more make?"
"..." Damn it, does he ever forget to roast her?
But how should Xiyan bring up the matter of the contract to Ou Jue...?
For so reason, it was hard to say.
She mulled over it for ages, but still couldn’t muster the words.
Ahhhhh, maybe it’s better to talk to him about it face-to-face later.
"I—I’m at school now, I’ll hang up, okay?"
"Xia Xiyan."
"Huh?" Xiyan jumped out of the car, slamming the door shut.
"I don’t mind being troubled by you."
To be troubled by you for a lifeti—that’s fine too.
A commotion ca from the school entrance, and Xiyan’s gaze unconsciously got drawn toward it. "Huh? What did you just say?"
"...Nothing," Ou Jue replied lightly. "Hanging up."
The call ended, but Xiyan didn’t catch it.
But, hey, the employees on the other side of the computer? They heard EVERYTHING loud and clear!
They started whispering among themselves.
"If I wasn’t mistaken just now, was our boss’s expression a bit soft? Please tell I’m not going blind!"
"I saw it too! It’s definitely softness! Who the hell was the boss calling just now?"
"I’m seriously questioning everything now. Is this still our boss? I’ve always thought he didn’t know how to smile!"
As soon as the call ended, Ou Jue imdiately returned to his poker-faced self, expressionless as he stared at the screen, "Continue."
Employees: ...
The classic case of "no contrast, no damage."
*——*——*
The school entrance was under siege.
The cause—
1. Xia Shiyi had returned to school.
2. A bunch of fresh fans of Xia Shiyi heard she was studying at this very school and had surrounded the entrance, making it impenetrable.
Seriously? Is this level of madness necessary...?
Nowadays, becoming famous really seems way too easy?
Xiyan was deeply, utterly impressed (sarcastically).
She squeezed past the crowd and walked inside.
Who knew she’d run into a smug Xia Shiyi at the hallway corner?
"Xia Xiyan." Shiyi folded her arms, raising a brow at Xiyan. "What a coincidence, huh?"
Xiyan shot her a sideways glance.
Shiyi brushed her freshly styled hair with her hand, "Looking at now, you must be so angry, so jealous, right?"
"Jealous of what? Jealous of you pretending to be a helpless white lotus in front of everyone?"
Shiyi’s smile instantly froze on her face. She glared at Xiyan with a pissed-off expression, "What did you just say? Say it again if you have the guts!"
