"Don't look at me like that. I'm telling you, I'm only interested in women!" Zhao Chen took a big bite of the apple and looked at Shen Yimo, smiling as he expressed his preference.
Shen Yimo looked at him, and after a long while, he asked him slowly, "How's that beautiful girl you fell in love with at first sight? Haven't you caught her yet?"
"Don't mention it. He was just being petty with me. Ever since he fell like that last time, he has ignored me. It seems like I'm going to be single for the rest of my life. I miscalculated!" Thinking of An An's recent behavior towards him, Zhao Chen sighed deeply, treated the apple as An An, and continued to eat it with all his might.
"You brought her to the cemetery and couldn't even catch her. You're so tall and strong, how could you not catch her? You had to hold on even at the risk of your life. When she jumped down, you weren't scared away, were you?" Shen Yimo was in a rare good mood. Looking at Zhao Chen's appearance, he couldn't help but make a joke about him.
"I really wanted to catch her. What a great opportunity! It's all the fault of that broken stone. I didn't step on it well. Ahem... Never mind. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving!" Zhao Chen threw the apple core into the trash can, got up and walked out. Seeing Yu Xiao coming in with a cup of coffee, he just took it and left.
Yu Xiao turned around and wanted to leave, but Shen Yimo stopped her again. She walked over with the tray.
"President..." She pursed her lips, thinking about what she wanted to say to him, and felt a little nervous again.
Seeing her coming over, Shen Yimo relaxed his expression a little and asked her: "Didn't you say you would bring me a gift? Where's the gift? Did you forget mine?"
"No!" Yu Xiao shook his head, not knowing how to start.
"Then go get it. I want to see what gift you brought me!" Shen Yimo leaned back in the leather chair and looked at her with a playful expression on his lips.
"President... I want to tell you something..." Yu Xiao stood there without moving. She did buy him a gift, but before giving it to him, she still wanted to tell him the truth.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"President, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in the resume I gave you. Actually... I'm already married..." After Yu Xiao mustered up the courage to say it, she no longer dared to look him in the eye and lowered her head to stare at her toes.
Shen Yimo didn't say anything. He was really surprised that she suddenly confessed to him. Seeing her lowering her head and not saying anything, he raised his hand to rub his forehead, looked at her and asked slowly, "Then what?"
Yu Xiao was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant. Shouldn't he get angry first and then fire himself? But he asked her: What next
"CEO... aren't you going to fire me?" She remembered clearly that Shen Xinrou said the CEO didn't like his secretary to be married.
"Why should we fire you? Everyone has the right to marry, including the employees of Shen Group, you included!" Shen Yimo looked at her indifferently, with no expression on his face.
"So what the president means is... I can still work here?" Yu Xiao looked up with a little surprise. He never expected that he would be so generous and tolerant.
"Well, where is the gift you gave me?" Shen Yimo curled the corner of his lips slightly.
"Oh, I'll get it right away!" Yu Xiao happily ran out of the president's office after hearing his words. After a while, he ran back with a small box with exquisite packaging in his hand and placed it in front of Shen Yimo.
Shen Yimo picked it up and opened it. What came into view was an exquisite little fan. Although it was small, it was very finely made. He picked it up and looked at it and smiled: "Thank you!"
"It's just a little gadget, as long as the president likes it!"
"Go and get busy!" Shen Yimo waved at her.
Yu Xiao nodded, turned and walked out of the president's office.
Shen Yimo took the delicate little fan in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly. If he remembered correctly, one of the meanings of giving a fan as a gift was to abandon someone. But there was a peace knot drawn on this little fan, so he would rather understand it as a blessing.
So he still likes this gift!
In fact, when Shen Yimo learned that Yu Xiao was married and met Kang Shaonan that night, he was indescribably angry with Yu Xiao. Perhaps because of the similarity between Yu Xiao and Ming Yao, he always liked to treat her as Ming Yao in his heart, because only in this way could he feel balanced. He couldn't stand that the little girl he had liked for more than 20 years was a liar!
Mingyao used to be lively and cheerful. She said whatever she liked. He knew what she was thinking from her eyes and movements. But the "Mingyao" in front of him was obviously different. She looked timid and cautious. She didn't speak like Mingyao. He couldn't guess what she was thinking most of the time. What made him even more unbearable was that she was married!
The night he learned the truth, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night!
In the past six months, such days have become too common.
But this evening, he was still hit.
Yu Xiao had been gone for nine days, and he had no idea what she was doing. During the days she was away, he figured out one thing: since he couldn't have her, he was content to see her often.
At least, he could realize one thing: his Yaoyao was still alive!
So, he chose to forgive.
Not for her, but for myself, so that I can see her in the future.
Yu Xiao never thought that Shen Yimo didn't take the lie to her seriously, which made her heart, which had been hanging in the air, completely relax. Kang Shaonan was right. After she confessed to him, she felt completely relaxed and no longer had to worry. Therefore, she liked Shen Yimo more. The man who looked a little cold on the outside actually had a heart that was tolerant of others.
Yu Xiao was in a better mood than ever before. During lunch, when sitting with Xiao Xiao and An An, he could not help but ask Yu Xiao a lot of questions. Of course, the topic of the conversation, in addition to where the two of them had been, was mainly about their relationship.
"Oh, people who come back from their honeymoon are different! Look at this little face, so rosy. It seems that Captain Kang takes good care of you. Uncle Kang is really great. He is so good to you. We girls are envious and jealous every day!" An An held her chin and sighed as she looked at Yu Xiao with a rosy face. Of course, although she was envious, she was still happy for her friend in her heart.
"It's just a honeymoon, what's so happy about it?" Yu Xiao couldn't help laughing after hearing what her friend said.
"That's true. Everyone goes on a honeymoon after getting married, but your husband is a soldier! Do you know how difficult it is for him to take a leave?" Xiao Tong poked her head as she spoke, feeling sorry for Kang Shaonan.
"Why do I feel like you two are his family members?" Yu Xiao laughed while eating.
"When I think back to the last time I met your team leader in the mall, he was carrying so many clothes. If anyone could be so nice to me, I would love him to death." An An still felt envious when she thought of the scene when she was with her sister.
"Tsk! Xiaoxiao, you're still talking about this. The manager is pretty nice to you, okay?" Xiaotong on the side began to speak up for Zhao Chen.
"I just can't stand the sight of him hanging out with that Yu Ke every day! All men are bad!" An An became furious when Xiao Tong mentioned Zhao Chen.
"You said your manager, don't bring our leader in!" Yu Xiao was unhappy when he heard it, and looked at An An to protest. Even if all the men in the world are not good, Kang Shaonan is the best one.
"Pfft!" Xiao Tong on the side burst into laughter and pointed at Yu Xiao and said, "See! She was exposed at the critical moment, right? As soon as she heard that the man was not a good guy, she ran out immediately. It seems that the three of us have completely fallen for Xiao Mei."
"If you meet a man like the regiment commander, it would be strange if you don't fall for him. I would fall for him if I met him. By the way, Xiaoxiao, will your leader come back this weekend?" An An remembered her sister's instructions and asked Yu Xiao.
"He didn't mention it to me, so he should come back. What's wrong?" Yu Xiao looked at his friend in confusion and asked.
"It's about the last time my sister said she wanted to invite you to my house for dinner. You two know that my sister has been in a low mood since she came back from J City, so she wanted to invite you to have some fun. I understand her feelings. In fact, she is also struggling and wants to get over it quickly. So this time, no matter how important your business is, you have to be my guest. Do you hear me?" An An understands her sister's feelings and feels sorry for her, so this dinner must not be missed.
"I'm fine!" Xiaotong was a loner, so he answered most readily.
"I don't have any problem, but I haven't asked our head yet..." Yu Xiao was a little hesitant. After all, she and Kang Shaonan were different from other couples. They only spent time together on weekends.
"My sister said that the time is set for this Thursday night. Let's not consider your family's leader for now. You should have no problem with that time, right?" An An waved his hand, staring at Yu Xiao and asked.
"Well, that's no problem! I'll go!" Yu Xiao nodded with a smile.
"Okay! That's settled then!"
After lunch, when Yu Xiao returned to the office, Shen Yimo called him out of the company. When he got into his black sports car, Yu Xiao still didn't quite believe what he had just said. He said he still had to teach her how to drive today.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and she was grateful to him in her heart. She was already grateful that he forgave her for lying before, but she didn't expect that he would let bygones be bygones and still insisted on teaching her.
"President..." She wanted to say something, but she was not good at speaking.
"Don't feel any psychological burden. Once I promise to do something for someone, I will stick to it to the end." As if he knew what she was going to say, he interrupted her and started the car while speaking.
"Thank you, President!" She nodded and fell silent.
After the car drove a distance, Shen Yimo looked at her and suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, your...husband that night was called Kang Shaonan, right?" When he saw her detailed family information, he realized that this little secretary beside him actually had such a prominent identity. (To be continued)
