It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when Yu Shaoting returned to the office after the meeting.
The office was kept spotless and quiet. There were winter vacation homework books for primary school students on the coffee table, as well as a fast food bag.
He turned around and opened the door to the rest room. On the bed, one boy and one girl were wrapped in quilts and sleeping soundly. He took off his suit, pulled off his tie and hung it on the hanger, unbuttoned two shirt collar buttons, and then sat next to the bed.
Next, I stared at the two people sleeping soundly for a while, feeling sleepy gradually coming over me.
Bai Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, felt a dark shadow covering her. She opened her eyes faintly, turned around slightly and saw the man leaning on her head.
The movement on the bed made Yu Shaoting wake up alertly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of bright black eyes, long unkempt hair, and Bai Xi's skin, like a little white cat curled up in bed. Not only did he not get up,
Instead, he leaned in and said, "Did it wake you up?"
Bai Xiao touched his hand. Although it was not cold but not hot, she lifted the quilt and covered him a little.
A burst of cold air hit the quilt, Bai Xiao shivered, and she was already pulled over by him and leaned against his chest.
"Just finished the meeting?"
"Um."
Bai Xiao changed his position slightly and pulled his exposed hand into the quilt: "Have you eaten?"
"No." The simple and honest answer.
Bai Xiao thought of the takeaway she had brought. I'm afraid it was already cold by now. She was about to ask him if he wanted to heat it up to eat. There was a gentle knock on the door of the office outside. Under the quilt, Yu Shaoting's hand held hers tightly.
He squeezed it tightly for a while before letting go, then got up and went outside.
——————————
Bai Xiao lost his sleepiness and gathered the quilt corners for Yu Jingxi who was sleeping next to him. He tied his hair into a ponytail again and got off the bed.
Yu Shaoting sat at the desk and took out a document to sign. Bai Xiao put on his coat and came out. He saw a tall and graceful beauty standing at the table. She had long curly chestnut hair and an off-white professional suit with a chiffon v-shirt underneath.
Wearing a collared shirt, white stilettos, and a very urban gold collar look, he looks to be in his thirties.
The reason why Bai Xiao pays so much attention to her is because she said something: "The other party asked to bring a female companion to the dinner tonight. Is this still the old rule?"
Yu Shaoting lowered his head to read the documents and did not answer the call immediately.
"Then I'll go to the store to pick up my clothes in the evening, and then I'll wait for you at Yufu Building after I change them."
If the previous sentence of inquiry was still in a business-like tone, then this sentence invisibly brings about the tacit understanding and intimacy that only acquaintances can have.
Yu Shaoting signed the last page of the document, raised his head and handed the document over, but at the end of his eyes he caught a glimpse of the figure at the door of the rest room.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" he asked very naturally, which also made the elegant beauty next to him turn around.
Bai Xiao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by four people. He nodded to the elegant beauty, then looked at Yu Shaoting: "I don't want to sleep anymore."
——————————
Yang Xi obviously didn't expect that there was a woman hiding in Yu Shaoting's office. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Bai Xiao.
Different from her old attire, Bai Xiao wears simple jeans and a cotton-padded jacket. The styles are more girlish. Her hair is a little messy with her casually tied ponytail. She has a plain face without even a trace of makeup and her eyes are big.
Wow, she looks like a girl in her early twenties.
Seeing her nodding friendly to him, Yang Xi smiled back, and then asked Yu Shaoting calmly: "Do you want them to prepare your clothes?"
Yu Shaoting withdrew his gaze from Bai Xiao, opened another document and said, "You don't have to go tonight."
Yang Xi's face froze, not only because of his neither salty nor bland tone, but also because of his direct words that slandered her.
She has been with Yu Shaoting for seven or eight years, and she is almost familiar with his temper. She often hears some harsh words from him on weekdays, but now this sentence "You don't have to go tonight" gave her a premonition - not only
It's tonight. From now on, he will no longer need her as his female companion when attending dinner parties.
But she quickly gathered her emotions and asked politely and carefully: "Do you want me to prepare clothes for my female companion?"
Yu Shaoting didn't even raise his head: "Is there anything else?" He was asking her out in a roundabout way.
Yang Xi did not turn around and go out immediately, but stood for a while before asking: "Do you want me to order takeout from Yufulou?"
——————————
Bai Xiao originally watched them talking so she didn't disturb them. After the elegant beauty said the words Yufulou, Bai Xiao felt more and more that the takeout she packed was a bit shabby. She and Jing Xi just found a small restaurant nearby.
For meals, where would you go to the famous Yufu Tower?
But when Yu Shaoting asked, she pointed to the sofa and said, "Maybe it's cold, so I'd better buy another one."
But Yu Shaoting said directly to Yang Xi: "No need to book, you can go out."
Yang Xi didn't say anything more, took the documents and went out. When passing by the sofa area, she couldn't help but glance at the fast food bag.
It's just an ordinary disposable plastic bag, without the exquisite wording of restaurant, inside it is a stacked fast food box with even vegetable juice on the edge.
Before going out, Yang Xi couldn't help but look at Bai Xiao a few more times.
Bai Xiao naturally did not ignore the eyes of the elegant and beautiful woman on her body. When she came out of the rest room just now, she caught the elegant and beautiful woman looking at Yu Shaoting. She has a successful boss and a beautiful and capable female subordinate. She herself also works in a large company.
However, I am very aware of the ambiguities behind the scenes.
What Yu Jingxi once told her also came to mind——
...Last time I saw my father say those words to an aunt, and then the aunt smiled at my father.
——————————
Yu Shaoting had left his desk and sat on the sofa.
He untied the slip knot on the fast food bag and seemed not to notice Bai Xiao's strangeness. He asked her casually as if making a normal conversation: "Did you buy it downstairs?"
"The third store on the left is running a special sale. The dishes I bought originally cost 16 yuan, but now they only cost 8 yuan."
Bai Xiao didn't know why he added the last two sentences, as if he was deliberately trying to offend him.
Yu Shaoting opened the lunch box and stared at the two dishes mixed together inside. It was almost impossible to see the original appearance. Bai Xiao looked at him and heard a faint sigh, but it seemed like she was hallucinating. Over there, Yu Shaoting
Already stood up with the lunch box in hand.
Bai Xiao thought he was going to throw it away, but when he walked to the door, he turned back to look at her: "You really want me to go to the tea room and heat it up in the microwave?"
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know where the tea room is."
"I'll take you there."
Bai Xiao felt that he was just taking off his pants and farting, and it was unnecessary. "You went, what else should I do?"
"Come here." He insisted.
The two of them struggled like this, but Bai Xiao finally gave in.
——————————
Jing Xing and Yang Xi came out of an office and saw Bai Xiao following Yu Shaoting into the tea room.
Yang Xi grabbed Jing Xing who was about to leave: "Is that little girl a relative of Mr. Yu's family?"
Jing Xing glanced at the tea room: "Why do you ask that?"
"I heard that Mr. Yu's niece returned to China not long ago. She looks like her. I just saw her coming out of the rest room of Mr. Yu's office."
"No." After Jing Xing said this, he noticed that Yang Xi beside him was silent.
Jing Xing somewhat knew what Yang Xi was thinking: "Manager Yang, you can't force some things, especially emotional matters."
Yang Xi smiled bitterly: "How dare I have such wishful thinking? It's just that this person... is a bit beyond my expectation. Don't you think... he's too young?"
Yes, he looks like he graduated from high school, and he doesn’t have too many social habits. When Jing Xing noticed Yu Shaoting’s thoughts, he was shocked. He thought that Yu Shaoting liked those mature and well-educated ladies, just like the deceased
My wife turned out to be particularly fond of green fruits like Teacher Bai.
"Who knows!" Jing Xing approached Yang Xi and whispered, "To be honest, I couldn't believe it at the time."
Yang Xi looked in the direction of the tea room without saying a word.
Jing Xing was afraid that Yang Xi would get into trouble, so he couldn't help but hit him from the side: "Manager Yang, you are now old enough to get married."
"Don't worry, I still have some self-awareness. I always admire Yu, but I won't have any thoughts that I shouldn't have."
Yang Xi sighed, "But the one who is still in Las Vegas, after waiting for so many years, shouldn't he just let it go when he finds out, right?"
When she reminded him, Jing Xing finally remembered that there was such a big figure: "She is just wishful thinking. Why does she care about Mr. Yu?"
"Secretary Jing, you don't understand women. There has been no one around Mr. Yu these years. Although that person is not impatient or impatient on the surface, he is probably determined that one day he will get what he wants. A woman is wasted on a man.
The best time in life is when you want to get something back."
——————————
Bai Xiao was forced by Yu Shaoting to sit on the sofa and watch him eat.
She found that even a meal worth about twenty yuan in a roadside restaurant could be eaten by him for a thousand yuan.
Not long after, the elegant beauty came in again, delivered a few documents, and left without saying a word.
Bai Xiao stared at her back, and after the door closed, he asked Yu Shaoting in an unintentional tone: "Is she your secretary?"
"Yang Xi is the manager of the public relations department." Yu Shaoting's answer was simple, without any other explanation.
"She looks like she must have been with you for many years."
Yu Shaoting stopped his chopsticks and looked up at her, his eyes seeming to see a hole in her.
Bai Xiao didn't hold her in his arms and pointed it out directly: "She likes you."
Yu Shaoting laughed. Although the laughter was very soft, Bai Xiao still heard it. His expression seemed like he had heard a humorous joke.
Seeing him eating leisurely, Bai Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was the shadow that Pei Qiyou had planted in her heart that made her always look at the relationship between her boss and her female subordinates through colored glasses, especially the one she was dating.
When it was Yu Shaoting, it was even worse.
"You have been in Pei Qiyou's company for so many years, and he has taught you these things?"
His understatement revealed her thoughts. Bai Xiao felt that she was about to become a clown, so she got up and left.
But he grabbed her slender wrist and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go and see if Jing Xi is awake."
Yu Shaoting moved his hand down and pinched her finger: "You really want to know about me and other women?"
"I don't like prying into other people's private lives." Bai Xiao shook his hand and said something different.
"Not curious at all?"
"...not curious."
Yu Shaoting let go of her hand, stopped talking, and continued eating.
Bai Xiao looked back at him, but did not move her legs.
Compared with Pei Qiyou, Yu Shaoting is more qualified as a mature man. Whether it is hardware or software, he attracts all kinds of women.
People always selectively fail to see some things when facing feelings, just like the women around Yu Shaoting who she deliberately ignored. Thinking of the female movie star she saw standing side by side with him on the roadside, and this
Manager Yang...
When you care about a man, you will become possessive, care about the presence of other women around him, and care about his past love history.
As soon as Yu Shaoting raised his head, he saw Bai Xiao's slightly red eyes, staring at him with grievance and accusation.
He knew what she was thinking: "Yang Xi is really just an employee I hired."
Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Yu Shaoting added, "She is Jing Xing's girlfriend. If you don't believe it, go out and ask Jing Xing."
Of course Bai Xiao would not just stupidly run to ask Secretary Jing. When she came to her senses, she realized how unreasonable she was. She turned around and was about to leave, but Yu Shaoting suddenly stood up and hugged her from behind: "I'm not here
If you really have to think about raising a woman outside, it’s just this one, who do you think she is?”
Bai Xiao remained silent.
Yu Shaoting took out a small blue velvet box from his trouser pocket.
Bai Xiao saw it last night and naturally remembered what was inside, and her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
Yu Shaoting held her in his arms, took off the ring from the box, raised her left ring finger and put it in: "If you are willing, go and register tomorrow."
Bai Xiao didn't expect that he would suddenly promise to get married. She was caught off guard and a little frightened by him. Then she remembered another important thing. She stared at the sparkling diamond ring and slowly turned around.
, looked at him and said: "Su Manrong is my mother, biological mother."
After saying that, she looked at him continuously, not wanting to miss any change of expression on his face.
After a while, Yu Shaoting said: "I'm going to Yu's house tonight."
Bai Xiao went to take off the ring on her ring finger and whispered: "I have no intention of recognizing her back." I also don't want to destroy your peaceful and happy life.
"You don't plan to meet your parents before getting married?"
Bai Xiao looked at him suddenly, his expression did not change, as if she had just told him what the weather was like today.
She recalled Su Manrong's cryptic look when asked about her father: "If my father is..."
"Don't think so much. After meeting my parents today, I'll call my grandma."
Bai Xiao looked at him with a nonchalant look. Not only was he not relaxed, but he became even more serious: "What if they don't agree?"
"I'll take you away."
——————————
I'll take you away.
He said these four words without any hesitation.
Bai Xiao clearly understood the heaviness behind these four words. Although she suspected that she was not Yu Zhengdong's child, but if... in that case, Yu Shaoting wanted to take her away, she could not imagine what kind of disturbance would be caused at that time.
"Aren't you afraid?" Bai Xiao still asked, expressing the worries in his heart.
There is no airtight wall in this world. Someone will eventually discover him, and then his reputation will be ruined.
Bai Xiao suddenly understood what the old monk said.
Everything in the world has a cause and effect. Such evil fate cannot be forced, and it can range from ruining one's body and ruining one's reputation to worrying about one's life...
Is she really destined to have a bad relationship with him?
Yu Shaoting ran his fingers through the hair on her temples and looked down at her: "The child is so big, why weren't you afraid during the surrogacy?"
"I didn't know that at that time..."
"It's too late to say I'm afraid now."
Bai Xiao suddenly held his big hand and looked at him sincerely and sincerely: "I mean, if, if we really are, don't tell anyone that I am Jing Xi's mother." That way, at least, at least.
Children don’t have to endure too many strange looks from the world.
Yu Shaoting did not answer the call.
Bai Xiao's heart skipped a beat and asked nervously: "Have you told others yet?"
"……No."
"Do not lie to me."
"Go to the compound tonight."

Offsite interview:
The little crippled codeword (Keke) held up the microphone: Xiaobai, according to rumors, you look like the boss of the Yu family. Please give me a picture, the truth and an identification.
Xiaobai: This...
The lid of a coffin nearby popped open, and someone pretended to be dead: Don't try to persuade me, I decided to change my name to Yu Dou'e.
