When the assistant knocked on the door, Su Yi was still being held down by Xu Ruoxing. The tip of her tongue smelled sweet with the aroma of fruit wine. Su Yi put her arms around Xu Ruoxing's neck, half hanging on her chest. Xu Ruoxing laughed: "I'm going to open the door."
Su Yi said "oh" and let her go. When she stood up, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Xu Ruoxing wanted to laugh but held it back. She got ready and went to open the door. Su Yi slipped into the lounge next door with the wine.
The lounge was simply decorated. One could tell at a glance that it was usually used by Xu Ruoxing to rest. All traces of their lovemaking last time had been cleaned up. Su Yi sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the unclear conversation outside.
There have been moments like this before.
She hid in a corner of the house, secretly listening to Pei Yiran and Su Changhe quarreling. She didn't dare to step forward to persuade them to stop fighting, but only dared to hide in the room silently, listening to the quarrel outside getting louder and louder.
When she heard Pei Yiran say that she regretted giving birth to her, and heard Su Changhe say that if you don't want her, just give her away, she trembled all over, squatted on the ground, and hugged her knees.
Now those memories, so clear in an instant, made her feel less painful.
Su Yi sat on the edge of the bed and took a sip of fruit wine. It tasted sweet, just like Xu Ruoxing's.
In the office, Xu Ruoxing listened to the assistant's report: "Mr. Xu, Ryan sent you another message. I hope to get your reply before tonight."
Xu Ruoxing said: "Give them a reply the day after tomorrow morning."
The assistant nodded: "Okay, Xiuzhan, are you coming over?"
Xu Ruoxing said: "I asked Mr. Li to go over."
The assistant wrote down: "And Huaihai has been wanting to arrange a meeting with you."
Xu Ruoxing asked her: "Has the new person in charge of Huaihai arrived?"
The assistant said: "The news will arrive tonight, and their lawyers will also arrive tonight. They have sent you a message."
Xu Ruoxing nodded: "Huaihai has postponed it for the time being. Let's wait for their person in charge to come over."
The assistant responded: "Okay, I'll leave first if nothing else."
Xu Ruoxing watched her leave the office. When she heard the door close, she looked toward the lounge. The door was closed, with no gap at all. She walked to the door and called out, "Su Yi?"
No one answered her.
Xu Ruoxing pressed the door handle: "Su Yi."
The doorknob turned from the inside, and Su Yi poked her head out. She had a fair and clean face with a slight smile and a look of pleasure in her eyes. Xu Ruoxing's heartbeat suddenly quickened. Su Yi had always been steady and mature in the company, even a little cold. Now she suddenly smiled with a playful look, which made Xu Ruoxing unable to react for two seconds.
Her nerves tensed up, and Su Yi asked: "Is it over?"
Xu Ruoxing suddenly wanted to hug her.
She took two steps closer and hugged Su Yi.
Su Yi was in her arms, bewildered: "What are you doing?"
Xu Ruoxing didn't know what was wrong with her. She just hugged Su Yi, buried her face in her neck, and kissed her. Su Yi's tone changed a little: "Boss Xu, this is at the company."
"Yeah, I know." Xu Ruoxing said, "I know this is the company."
But suddenly, she couldn't suppress the urge to hug her, which came quickly and suddenly. Su Yi was suffocated in her arms, stretched out his hands to hug Xu Ruoxing, and looked up and asked: "Are you drunk?"
Xu Ruoxing said: "I'm not that exaggerated."
It was just a sip of fruit wine, she really shouldn't be like this.
