Xu Xiuwen nodded in acknowledgement.
Liu Ruo's cheeks flushed, and her eyes slightly avoided, "Then you shouldn't have seen anything you shouldn't have seen, right?"
Xu Xiuwen was stunned. There was nothing in the room. What could he not see
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the pair of stockings he saw in the trash can before.
He hesitated and shook his head.
Liu Ruo noticed his brief hesitation and immediately guessed the reason.
The blush on her face deepened.
Logically speaking, as long as Liu Ruo didn't mention it, the matter would be over.
But she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly she took the initiative to explain.
"At noon, a customer accidentally splashed soup on my legs and stained my stockings, so I threw them away."
It would have been fine if she didn't explain. After she explained, Xu Xiuwen felt a little embarrassed.
He nodded reluctantly to show that he understood.
He remembered that An Shishi had worn Liu Ruo's stockings before at Liu Ruo's house.
He still can't forget that feeling.
Just thinking about this, Xu Xiuwen's breathing became heavier.
Fortunately, an employee came and knocked on the door at this time, preventing Liu Ruo from noticing his abnormality.
Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Ruo immediately returned to her usual self in the store.
She said calmly but forcefully to the person outside the door: "Come in."
The female employee came in to report the situation.
It turned out that all the customers had left the store, and the employees had finished cleaning and were getting ready to go off work, so they came to inform you.
Xu Xiuwen glanced at the clock on the wall.
More than an hour had passed since he entered the room.
In other words, he had just chatted with Liu Ruo in the room for more than an hour.
He didn't even notice that time passed so quickly and thought that only twenty or thirty minutes had passed at most.
Liu Ruo asked the employees to go home.
Xu Xiuwen asked casually, "Where's Sister Mu?"
The female employee replied: "Manager Mu is on the first floor."
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."
"Boss Xu, Manager Liu, goodbye."
After the female employee left.
Liu Ruo turned to look at Xu Xiuwen, and a blush appeared again on her face, which had just regained its calm.
"Xiao Xu, we are getting ready to get off work."
"Um."
Liu Ruo glanced at him and asked tentatively: "Do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?"
As soon as he said that, Liu Ruo regretted it.
She took the initiative to invite Xu Xiuwen to her house and sit for a while. It would be easy for a man and a woman alone together to cause misunderstanding.
But the words have been spoken and it is difficult to take them back.
And Liu Ruo also found a reason for himself.
She is Xu Xiuwen's mother-in-law. The mother-in-law and son-in-law go home together, so they are not a single man and single woman.
After thinking about it this way, Liu Ruo no longer felt so uncomfortable.
She waited for Xu Xiuwen's answer.
In Liu Ruo's impression, Xu Xiuwen has always been easy to talk to.
Basically, he would agree to anything she told him.
But this time is an exception.
Xu Xiuwen actually shook his head and said, "Aunt Liu, I won't go so late. I'll visit you next time."
A trace of disappointment flashed through Liu Ruo's heart.
But she didn't show it.
Liu Ruo quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile: "Then let's do it next time."
"Then let's go down. I just happen to have something to say to Sister Mu."
Liu Ruo raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
What does he want to say to Sister Mu
Liu Ruo did not ask Xu Xiuwen directly, but nodded and said, "Okay."
After the two went downstairs together, they soon saw Mu Zhilan on the first floor.
When Mu Zhilan saw Liu Ruo, a smile appeared on her face.
But the next second she saw Xu Xiuwen beside Liu Ruo.
Although the smile on her face did not stop abruptly, it became very stiff.
Her whole body became tense.
She kept her eyes on the ground, avoiding Xu Xiuwen's gaze.
Liu Ruo said: "Sister Mu, you can go home now."
When Mu Zhilan heard this, she quickly said, "Okay, Manager Liu, I'll be off work now."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and wanted to leave.
But can she really leave smoothly
The answer is obviously no.
Xu Xiuwen called Mu Zhilan.
"Sister Mu, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."
After hearing this, Mu Zhilan trembled slightly.
She stopped reluctantly.
Xu Xiuwen said to Liu Ruo again: "Aunt Liu, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first. I will lock the door later."
Liu Ruo was very curious, but still agreed.
"I'll get ready and leave soon."
After Liu Ruo turned and left.
Xu Xiuwen still didn't speak to Mu Zhilan.
Because there are other female employees passing by here constantly.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Mu, goodbye..."
Wait until most of the employees have left.
Liu Ruo also took her small bag and stood in front of Xu Xiuwen.
"Xiao Xu, Sister Mu, I... I'm leaving first."
Mu Zhilan hummed.
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, please be careful."
"Don't worry."
Then Liu Ruo left.
After everyone left, Xu Xiuwen looked at Mu Zhilan who was lowering her head, and frowned slightly.
It seemed like he wasn't the only one who couldn't face what happened that night.
The same goes for Mu Zhilan.
"Sister Mu, let's go to the office and talk."
Mu Zhilan's body trembled slightly, "Okay..."
The two came to the office on the third floor one after the other.
Xu Xiuwen turned around and looked at Mu Zhilan.
The latter looks very feminine today.
She was wearing a black skirt suit that reached just above her knees.
