After eating a small cake, Lin Qingle finally felt a little better. She had been so busy the whole day that she hadn't eaten much, and she felt like she was starving to death just now.
After filling her stomach a little, she went to the bathroom to touch up her lipstick. When she came back, she talked with the agents of several celebrity artists. Finally, because her feet were a little sore from standing, she went to a more secluded place on the second floor of the manor to rest.
My phone vibrated. It was Yu Tingting who sent me a message: How was it? Did you impress everyone
Lin Qingle replied to him while sitting on the chair: I didn’t impress everyone, but my legs really hurt.
Yu Tingting: I don’t believe it
Lin Qingle immediately took a picture and sent it to her: See, the skin on my back is all rubbed off
Yu Tingting: Ah, I should have put a band-aid on it first… Damn! It turns out that good shoes can also hurt your feet!
Lin Qingle: Yes, it was a mistake.
Yu Tingting: But it doesn’t matter. I believe you are so beautiful today. Did your Mr. Xu feel dizzy when he saw you? Did he praise you
Lin Qingle was silent for a moment. What do you mean by "dazzlingly beautiful"... That's exaggerated.
He has probably seen many beautiful girls, so what is there to praise about her? For example, Zhao Ziai today...
Lin Qingle put down her phone, feeling a little depressed. She didn't reply to Yu Tingting and bent down to look at her legs.
Hiss... It hurts.
"You still say everything's fine?" Suddenly, there were footsteps approaching.
Lin Qingle immediately straightened up and looked towards the source of the voice, and saw Xu Tingbai also coming to the second floor.
Lin Qingle was surprised and asked, "Aren't you taking Mr. Zhao out for a walk? Why are you here?"
Xu Tingbai walked over and said, "Let Xia Tan go."
"oh… "
Xu Tingbai stopped in front of her, unbuttoned his suit at the waist, and squatted down on one knee: "Does it hurt?"
When he tried to touch her calf, Lin Qingle immediately reached out to stop him. She glanced toward the corridor ahead and said, "Get up... Don't let anyone see us."
Xu Tingbai pretended not to hear, "Lift your feet and take off your shoes first."
Lin Qingle refused to move, "I, I don't feel any pain!"
"It doesn't hurt even if the skin is broken?"
Lin Qingle insisted and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Xu Tingbai raised his eyes and looked at her with a oppressive look.
Lin Qingle swallowed lightly: "It really doesn't hurt..."
"Okay, it hurts just watching me." Xu Tingbai frowned, reached out, and forcibly took off her high heels.
"Mmm..."
Xu Tingbai put her shoes aside and looked at her heels. Both were worn out. She didn't know how long this fool had persisted.
“How can you take off my shoes so casually…” Lin Qingle crossed his legs awkwardly and protested weakly.
"Are you going to keep wearing this so that the company can send a sedan to pick you up at your house tomorrow?"
"… "
Talk nonsense.
Lin Qingle's ears felt slightly hot, and because her feet could not support her, she wanted to touch the ground with her toes. However, as soon as she landed, she felt warmth on the soles of her feet.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked down, only to see Xu Tingbai holding a mobile phone in one hand, ready to make a call, and the other hand accurately placed under her feet.
She stepped on his palm and he gently grabbed her.
Lin Qingle's head exploded with a bang, and he immediately wanted to pull it back, but his hand exerted force and held it tightly.
"The ground is dirty." Xu Tingbai said indifferently.
Lin Qingle's fingertips were tense: "I, I can..."
She thought that she could tuck her legs up, although it would be a little inconvenient to wear the skirt.
But he obviously didn't want to listen to what she said, so he made a gesture to keep quiet and made a phone call.
Lin Qingle: “…”
"Hello, it's me."
He spoke calmly on the phone, while Lin Qingle sat there, not daring to move.
At this moment, his hands were holding her feet... His hands were dry and warm, but she felt that he ignited her starting from her legs.
"Well, please bring the shoes and Band-Aids over here. They're over at the corner seat on the second floor... OK." Xu Tingbai explained to the person on the other end, and hung up the phone after explaining the details.
Lin Qingle lowered her head, her hair on both sides vaguely covering her red cheeks...
Xu Tingbai put down his phone and looked down at the foot in his hand.
She was fair, delicate, thin and well-proportioned. Perhaps because she was nervous, her toes were slightly tense, and her stiffness was cute.
Xu Tingbai didn't mean to tease her just now, he just saw her legs were about to put down, so he took it subconsciously without thinking about anything else. Now that he saw himself holding it like this, the scene was so beautiful that his heart suddenly trembled.
He stared at her, and turned away to talk to her. But when he looked up, he saw two slender legs.
The slit of the black skirt opened further as she sat down, and at such a close distance he could see her skin and lines too clearly.
Xu Tingbai was stunned for a moment, and this time he turned his head away completely, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Senjie to get you a pair of slippers."
Lin Qingle felt like his throat was about to smoke, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Slippers? That's not appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?"
"Isn't it weird to wear slippers while wearing a dress?"
"It's okay, it's almost over downstairs."
"But there are still people from the company who haven't left. Dressing like this... doesn't look good."
Speaking of this, Xu Tingbai remembered what Director Cheng said today, that she attracted a lot of people's attention today.
Xu Tingbai felt a little annoyed: "Whatever the people in charge of the company think, just do what makes you feel comfortable."
"No... Then you should dress appropriately for this occasion."
"you-"
"Hush."
Lin Qingle suddenly stopped him from talking because she heard the sound of two people talking in the corridor. They must be from their company, not guests.
Lin Qingle glanced at her and Xu Tingbai's postures and movements, and she panicked. She quickly pushed him and said, "Get out of the way."
Xu Tingbai's posture was a little unstable after she pushed him so hard, and he subconsciously let go of his hand to gain balance.
Lin Qingle took advantage of the moment when he loosened his hand and immediately stood up and walked to the side where there was a partition blocking the way, and she also quickly took away the high heels beside her on the way.
The speed at which she dodged made Xu Tingbai stunned, "What are you doing?"
"Stop talking!"
Xu Tingbai frowned slightly in confusion. He stood up and was about to ask why again when he saw Lin Qingle suddenly reached out and pulled him over as if he remembered something.
"Don't let your colleagues see it." Lin Qingle whispered hurriedly.
She seemed particularly afraid that others would find out what was going on between them.
Xu Tingbai was a little unhappy with her behavior at this moment, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw that the person in front of him was obviously a little panicked, and he found it a little amusing.
>
She was wearing high heels just now, which made her look much taller than usual, and she looked very imposing in that situation. But now she was standing barefoot on the ground, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly because she was afraid of others getting close to her, and she looked like a pitiful little white rabbit.
Lin Qingle was really panicked. She originally just wanted to hide for a while, but she thought that if people from the company saw Xu Tingbai standing here, they would definitely come over to say hello or something, so she simply pulled him over.
She listened attentively to the footsteps, paying attention to whether the person was walking away, until Xu Tingbai leaned over and asked in her ear, "How long are you going to hide?"
He spoke in a deep voice, and the heat and voice hit her eardrums together, causing her ears to feel numb.
Lin Qingle reflexively shrank back and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at him: "Just wait until they leave."
Xu Tingbai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay."
He was very close to her.
She realized at this moment that she had pulled him too hard. At this moment, the tip of her nose was only a few centimeters away from him, and she could even feel his breathing... Lin Qingle lowered her eyes slightly, exhaled a breath of hot air, and stretched out her hand to push him away.
"Don't move. Aren't we trying to hide?" He grabbed her wrist and pressed her closer.
Lin Qingle's eyes widened slightly, and his nose tip was almost touching him: "..."
In fact, there is no need to hide like this.
They just need to stand quietly at this corner...
However, Lin Qingle was speechless at this moment. In the silent space, she could only feel her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out.
Buzz buzz buzz—
After a while, the footsteps faded away and someone's phone vibrated.
"That's enough." Lin Qingle pushed him.
Xu Tingbai remained unmoved.
“They’ve already left, no need to hide…” Lin Qingle pushed him again.
"Um?"
"Xu Tingbai, your phone is ringing, answer it quickly."
The phone kept ringing, so Xu Tingbai reluctantly let her go and took it out of his pocket.
"explain."
"Mr. Xu, I'm on the second floor. Where are you?"
Xu Tingbai said in a slightly hostile tone: "Go to the end."
"… good."
Jason came quickly. He hurried to the end of the corridor and turned a corner to see two people standing there.
When he saw Lin Qingle was also present, he understood everything clearly.
"Deputy Manager Lin, here are the shoes. They are new."
Lin Qingle: "Thank you..."
Xu Tingbai took the slippers, leaned over and placed them in front of her, "Put them on."
Lin Qingle looked at the hotel-style slippers in front of him, thinking that he would have to go downstairs to have a short meeting with his colleagues later, and hesitated: "Well... You guys go first, I'll sit for a while and put them on later."
Xu Tingbai: "Should we just leave it here after we leave?"
Lin Qingle: “…”
Xu Tingbai flicked her forehead with his finger: "Do you still want to wear those high heels?"
Lin Qingle muttered: "I just said you don't need to get me slippers..."
"Lin Qingle."
"Just give me the Band-Aid, don't worry, it won't hurt." Lin Qingle hurriedly took the Band-Aid from Jason, quickly put it on herself, and put on her high heels again under Xu Tingbai's eyes.
"Yeah! Very good! It doesn't hurt at all." Lin Qingle stood up, "Then I'll go downstairs and have another meeting with my colleagues in the department. You guys can do whatever you want!"
"you-"
"Bye-Bye!"
Lin Qingle slid very quickly, her high heels tapping on the ground, leaving behind the back of a stubborn urban beauty.
Xu Tingbai: “…”
