His grip on her shoulders did not relax, but his body fell back slightly, and their bodies fell to the sofa behind them together. The soft-textured sofa was slightly dented due to the sudden force of the two people.
Xi Haitang was dumbfounded by this sudden situation. She was about to struggle but turned her head to face his chiseled face. The depth in his eyes frightened her.
He smiled lightly and gently brushed her cheek with his fingers, "Begonia, answer me, am I not important at all?"
Xi Haitang was stunned. Over the years, she had accumulated every moment. She had never had any special thoughts about him, but he was not unimportant. He taught her too many things and was her life
One of the most respectable people in her life, she had never been like this before. He suddenly became a stranger, which made her a little scared.
His lips slowly came down and were about to touch hers. She suddenly trembled, but she said firmly, "No."
Xiao Muyuan's chaotic eyes gradually became clear, and he suddenly laughed lightly, letting go of her to a certain safe distance, "Haitang, why do you have to be different from others? If it were another woman, you should have pushed her hard just now.
Shoot me, give me two more slaps, and if that’s not enough, kick me a few times...why don’t you do that?”
Xi Haitang's limbs were numb and he was speechless. He paused for a while before finding his voice, "Because I don't want to lose you as a friend... I believe in you."
Xiao Muyuan smiled with relief, because her words "I believe in you", just four words, warmed his heart for ten years. But time passed by, and he wanted to give her peace for the rest of his life.
However, there was one thing he still had to remind her, "Begonia, don't trust men easily."
The smile in Xiao Muyuan's eyes was obvious, gentle and natural, and the oppressive feeling all over her body suddenly faded away, no longer making her feel defensive.
He pushed her towards the kitchen, "Go quickly and cook me something to eat, I'm going to starve to death!"

Half an hour later.
Xiao Muyuan couldn't bear it and squeezed into the kitchen, "Begonia, what did you cook? Why does it smell fishy? Did you cook fish?!"
"I made some porridge and put some fish fillets in it. You don't have any food in the refrigerator, so this is the only way."
Xiao Muyuan was a little helpless, "I've been sick for several days and I forgot to buy groceries."
"So... you should find a girlfriend and settle down..." Xi Haitang's heart tightened, and she suddenly thought of Su Xin. In the past, she always thought that Su Xin and her senior were a perfect match, and they would always overcome all difficulties and be together.
Yes, but now... let alone Gu Xichao's matter, when Su Xin wakes up is a problem.
"Haitang...what's wrong with you? Are you worried?"
"Senior, I have something to tell you." Xi Haitang turned off the fire and looked at him intently.
Xi Haitang briefly explained Su Xin's situation, and then took out his resignation letter to him, "Senior, I can't continue to work. I'm really sorry..."
"Fool, there is nothing to be sorry for." Xiao Muyuan reached out to take her resignation letter and nodded in agreement, "I approve it."
"Thank you, senior."
Xiao Muyuan raised his lips and smiled lightly, but he felt very sorry for her, "Haitang, you can't go to work from nine to five, but it would be a pity to just give up on design. So, if the company has something suitable,
Little CASE, let me pass this on to you. For example, when you used to do things in the SOHO way in the United States, it’s not the key to do more or less. The key is that you can’t do it by hand. This is what designers are most taboo about.”
"But I'm afraid I don't have that much time and energy. If I don't do well..."
"I'll check it for you. I won't give you a case that's too large, so as not to put you under pressure. Is that okay?"
"Um."
Xiao Muyuan frowned slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Come to the study with me. I have a CASE suitable for you now. There is still plenty of time. You can take the materials back and work on it slowly."
"Senior, don't be so anxious. You can eat first. The porridge is ready."
"Talking while eating."

In the study, Xiao Muyuan was eating his rice bowl while instructing Xi Haitang to open his computer, "In the "forward" folder in the E drive, do you see MISS Yang?"
"I see it."
"That's it. Ms. Yang is of Chinese descent and was introduced by a friend of mine. Her ancestral home is Lu'an, China. She said she would return to her hometown to worship her ancestors at the end of this year, so she asked me to design a jade ornament. Lu'an is famous throughout the country for its tea.
Especially Lu'an Guapian is very famous, so her request is to combine jade and tea, the more perfect the better."
Xi Haitang nodded slightly, "I will do it seriously."
"Her time is very generous. You should take your time and type out the information first."
"Okay." Xi Haitang turned on the printer, but saw a stack of strange documents next to the machine. The title of the document was - Cornflower Sapphire.
Cornflower Sapphire is rare all over the world. It is the king of the finest sapphires. It has a hazy, intense blue with a purplish hue and gives a unique velvety texture and appearance. Cornflower Blue
Pure and bright in color, elegant and noble, it is a rare sapphire variety. What is even more rare is that cornflowers are produced in the Kashmir area of the Zasgar Mountains in the Himalayas, the world-famous peak with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, where there is snow all year round.
It is extremely difficult to mine due to its snow-covered landscape. It was mined in the mid-19th century, but was completely stopped in the early 20th century. The extremely rare production makes every gem precious, and the top-quality cornflower has now become the most watched sapphire at auction.
.
"Senior, why are you paying attention to this? Hasn't the mining of cornflower sapphire been banned long ago?"
"Officially, this is true, but there are always people who take risks to gain wealth and wealth. Last week, another cornflower sapphire was produced in the mines in Kashmir. It is simply an incredible miracle! This news
It has not been released to the public yet, but it was revealed to me by a gem dealer who has a good relationship with me. I think jewelry design companies around the world will be keeping an eye on it soon!"
Xi Haitang secretly said, "I remember that at the auction in Geneva, a Kashmir sapphire was sold for four million US dollars. This time it will probably be even crazier."

At the same time, Qin Hao hurriedly rushed into Gu Xijue's office, "Jue, it's bad, another cornflower sapphire has been mined. I was worried that the incident many years ago would be dug out..."
