"It's nothing, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Lan Xi'er smiled at him, showing a forced smile.
In all fairness, Alex treated her very well, not even worse than Li Tianwei and Tang Yu treated her back then. He had given her all his care and tenderness, but...
Lan Xi'er knew that it was not love.
"Tired? Do you want to see a doctor? Look at you, I told you not to work overtime so hard, but you just don't listen." Alex is a very careful person, and he is always dissatisfied with her daily routine , has said so to her countless times.
"No need, just go back and sleep." Lan Xi'er pulled herself together, trying to make herself look more energetic. Otherwise... After a while, Alex will start to criticize her again and again.
She is a strong woman, and she puts all her energy into her workâbut that's only because she can keep hypnotizing herself in addition to this, because only in this way can she become a ruthless woman.
"Wife, just listen to my advice, don't work so hard anymore. Don't you have a husband and I will support you? After this period of time is over, give yourself a vacation, and we will travel to Europe together." Alex looked at it with some distress Her sharper chin, "Look at you, you are so thin that only a bone is left. Those who don't know, think I abused you!"
"How could it be? You are so kind to me, and everyone in the company sees it. Many employees have privately nicknamed you as a wife-protecting madman! You don't know, there are a lot of people in our company now. Little girls look for husbands based on you!" Lan Xi'er said teasingly, and there was a gleam in her big eyes again.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, they are still a loving and model couple. In the eyes of others, she is happy.
She just deliberately didn't think about a key question - is happiness for others to see
Alex sent her downstairs to the company, parked the sports car on the side of the road, and opened the door for her.
"Xi'er, listen to me! Finish the things that need to be dealt with these few days, and take a good vacation!" He helped her out of the car and reminded her worriedly.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Lan Xi'er sighed helplessly, "I'm really afraid of you."
If she didn't follow suit, Alex might have to keep nagging her in her ear for a long time. Sometimes she would think, aren't foreigners very casual? Alex really doesn't look like a foreigner.
"Then I'll go first, and I'll pick you up after you get off work." Alex gently stepped forward to hug her, and pressed a kiss on her cheek.
Lan Xi'er hugged him back as usual, and kissed him back on the cheek habitually.
Hugging and kissing the face may be regarded as abusive behavior by Chinese people, but for most foreigners, it is just a daily etiquette.
Passers-by frequently looked sideways, looking enviously at this couple with outstanding temperament and well-dressed clothes. But only Lan Xi'er knew in her heart what kind of reality was hidden under the gorgeous appearance.
She hurriedly approached the company's gate, without noticing that there was a man in a silver-gray Porsche on the side of the road watching her every move through the window.
Xi'er, are you really happy
It wasn't until her figure faded away that the silver-gray Porsche started with a bang and disappeared into the flowery street along with the traffic.
