Zheng Qi got out of the car while cursing, walked to the Bentley Continental in the rain, and patted the window unceremoniously.
When the car window rolled down and he saw the man in the driver's seat and the face that turned around, Zheng Qi was speechless and forgot all the words of accusation.
Handsome facial features, a three-dimensional face, a black suit, and a white shirt, wrapped around the man's slender body. When he looked over, his eyes were sharp and deep, and his facial expression was stern and tight, even if Zheng Qi was in various places.
Having been in this circle a lot, I can't help but admire the mature and restrained charm exuded by this man.
Yu Shaoting rarely attends some banquets and rarely appears in front of the media, but that doesn't mean that others don't know him.
Zheng Qi has already recognized the man who blocked his car. Isn't he Yu Shaoting, the third child of the Yu family in Hongmen, Fengcheng?!
Sometimes, it also depends on the person. Zheng Qi can clearly distinguish who can offend and who should be supported. For example, the person in front of him cannot conflict with him.
At that moment, Zheng Qi changed his angry expression and greeted Yu Shaoting politely.
Yu Shaoting looked him up and down, his expression was not good, he didn't even bother to pretend, he was wearing a Bluetooth headset and seemed to be still on the phone.
"Excuse me." Zheng Qi stopped asking for trouble and went back dejectedly. He turned around and saw Bai Xiao who had already gotten out of the car holding an umbrella.
Zheng Qi hurriedly ran over, "What's wrong? Get in the car, it's raining heavily outside."
"No, I'm in a hurry. Goodbye." Bai Xiao glanced at the Bentley Continental and walked away regardless of Zheng Qi's obstruction.
Almost the moment Bai Xiao turned around, the Bentley Continental also started up again.
Zheng Qi froze on the spot, looking at a person and a car going in the opposite direction. For some reason, it was indescribably weird.
——————————
Bai Xiao rounded a corner, stood under the eaves of a shop, and called Yu Shaoting.
The other side picked up the call without saying a word. Bai Xiao said, "Is that okay?"
The rain wet her shoes. Bai Xiao took two steps back and asked, "Where are you now? I can't get a taxi here."
"..."
Bai Xiao thought about what happened just now and made him unhappy, so she softened her voice and said, "I'm in front of the bakery on XX Road."
After hanging up the phone, not long after, the Bentley Continental appeared in her sight. As soon as the car stopped, Bai Xiao opened the passenger door and got in.
The heater was turned on in the car, but Bai Xiao couldn't help but shiver, covering her sleeves that were wet by the rain with both hands.
A coat was thrown over and fell on Bai Xiao's lap. She turned to look at the man driving the car. Her handsome face was tense, as if someone owed him millions.
Bai Xiao covered herself with her coat. There was his smell on the clothes, a faint smell of tobacco, and a bit of refreshing aftershave. She leaned on the seat, her whole body warmed up, and she felt a little sleepy as she looked at the traffic lights in front of her.
, and then heard him ask: "Who was that just now?"
"A classmate from my previous school days." Bai Xiao paused and then added truthfully: "Pei Qiyou's childhood friend."
It was quiet inside the car, and the atmosphere was somewhat condensed.
Bai Xiao looked away from the window and looked at Yu Shaoting: "When did you come here? Why didn't you call me."
"..." Yu Shaoting ignored her and asked after a while: "Why did he come to find you at the door of the company?"
He, of course, refers to Zheng Qi.
"He said he wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused." Bai Xiao concealed the part about sending flowers because she knew Yu Shaoting didn't like to hear it.
Sure enough, Yu Shaoting immediately said: "Then why don't you get in his car?" He tried his best to restrain himself but still said in an unfriendly tone.
Bai Xiao turned sideways, looked at him, and pursed her lips: "If a wicked man hadn't driven and splashed water on me, I wouldn't have gotten into his car."
"..."
Bai Xiao didn't expect him to answer, so she gently leaned her head on his shoulder, although this position was not very comfortable.
"Sit tight, there's a probe in front of you."
Bai Xiao didn't move, thinking, now do you know the traffic laws? Who blocked other people's cars on the one-way lane just now!
——————————
Bai Xiao's body was still wet. Seeing that Yu Shaoting didn't stop the car all the way, he said, "My clothes are dirty. Let's go back to Qinyuan."
His cell phone vibrated, a call came in, and Bai Xiao shut up knowingly.
Yu Shaoting glanced at her and answered: "Well... on the way, okay, I'll go back right away."
After he hung up the phone, Bai Xiao thought for a while and said, "If you have anything to do, put me in a place where it's convenient to take a taxi."
"Let's just go to the intersection ahead. There's a stop sign there. I'll just go back to Qinyuan by myself. You go back to the company to deal with things first."
Yu Shaoting glanced at the stop sign Bai Xiao was talking about. He just glanced at it, but what he was thinking about was the scene of the man holding an umbrella for Bai Xiao just under the Hongyuan office building. His hands clenched the steering wheel tightly and passed by.
At that stop sign, there was no intention of slowing down.
Bai Xiao watched the stop sign getting further and further away from her, then looked at the man next to her: "It's passed!"
Yu Shaoting pursed his lips and ignored her. Bai Xiao did not confront him and sat calmly until the car drove to the Donglin parking lot.
Bai Xiao followed him upstairs in the VIP elevator, left her in the office, and Yu Shaoting left.
——————————
Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, Bai Xiao went to the lounge to take a shower, took Yu Shaoting's clothes and put them on her body. When she walked out, she saw Yang Xi.
Yang Xi held a bag in his hand and handed it to Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao found that the left half of Yang Xi's body was a little wet.
Sensing Bai Xiao's gaze, Yang Xi shrugged: "There is no way, the boss's order must be carried out even in the storm."
Bai Xiao opened the bag and found a brand new set of women's clothing inside, with the tag still there.
"Go ahead and put it on." Yang Xi said.
In Yang Xi's view, Bai Xiao is too young, and she is more like a sister than the boss's wife.
Before Bai Xiao entered the lounge, she couldn't help but say "thank you".
What Yang Xi bought was not a traditional professional suit, but this year's spring style. Bai Xiao changed it out and said, "It fits very well."
"The size reported by Mr. Yu."
"..." Bai Xiao smoothed her bangs and walked to the sofa area to sit down, her cheeks feeling a little hot.
Yang Xi made a cup of hot milk for Bai Xiao: "Mr. Yu asked me to buy it on the way, as well as lunch, which will be delivered to me from the restaurant later."
Bai Xiao felt that compared with Yang Xi, he really became a child who didn't understand anything. Thinking of how Yang Xi had been with Yu Shaoting all these years and had such a capable and beautiful female assistant, Bai Xiao actually didn't understand either.
Why do you like yourself.
Rubbing the rim of the cup with her fingers, Bai Xiao was thoughtful, and Yang Xi smiled and said, "Did you and Mr. Yu have a conflict this morning?"
"Why did you ask so?"
"No?" Yang Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe we all misunderstood."
Bai Xiao didn't understand: "Did something happen?"
Yang Xi: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Mr. Yu kept running away during the morning meeting. Jing Xing suspected that you two had a quarrel."
"Is he in a bad mood today?" Bai Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Yang Xi looked at Bai Xiao suspiciously, but did not deny it: "It doesn't look good. I smoked a lot."
"..."
Yang Xi vaguely guessed that Yu Shaoting's behavior was probably related to Bai Xiao. Although he didn't know what the specific matter was, he still made a few remarks.
"Mr. Yu is not good at expressing his feelings. He likes to keep many things in his heart. Others say that he is harsh and ruthless in his actions. But those of us subordinates who have been with him all year round know his temper to some extent. Many times he
Just like a child, he has a strong possessive desire for the things he likes."
Bai Xiao remembered that she was splashed by the water in the puddle, and asked Yang Xi: "Mr. Yu...when did you go out just now?"
"About half past ten." Yang Xi said, "He left in the middle of the meeting."
Ten thirty... Bai Xiao calculated that from here to Hongyuan, even if there is a traffic jam, we will definitely arrive at 11:30 at the latest. When she came down from upstairs, it was almost 11:30, and she met Zheng Qi at the door.
, then... Yu Shaoting was most likely nearby when they were talking.
Therefore, it was not her imagination. The car that hit the puddle was most likely Yu Shaoting's Bentley Continental.
Bai Xiao thought, he had obviously driven away from her, why did he come back later?
"Remember? Last time we were having dinner with a client at Yufulou. An assistant came in and said that he seemed to have met you. Mr. Yu didn't seem to care. He got up and excused himself to go to the bathroom soon. Later I found out that he had gone
Went to another box, were you in there at the time?"
Bai Xiao: "..."
"Originally we had activities after dinner, but Mr. Yu said he had something to do, so he pushed them all away." Yang Xi stared into Bai Xiao's eyes: "Maybe you didn't see it, but Mr. Yu cares about you very much, which I have never done before.
I felt it from the wife who passed away. He would feel uncomfortable if you were with other men. To put it bluntly, he was jealous."
After hearing Yang Xi's words, Bai Xiao was a little surprised and a little distracted. She recalled the scene when Yu Shaoting intercepted Zheng Qi's car and asked her to get out. This man could do anything he wanted to do, no matter what.
Is there any danger?
Bai Xiao's cell phone rang. It was an unknown number. She answered it and found out it was Zheng Qi.
"Have you had lunch?" Zheng Qi asked thoughtfully.
Bai Xiao felt that she shouldn't give him any chance. Outside the Hongyuan office building just now, she was worried about the colleagues passing by. On the other hand, it was also because Zheng Qi took care of her when she was in school, and Zheng Qi was concerned about her.
It's hard for her to break her face directly because of her attitude. This is also the way to deal with people.
There is always a line in everything, and I really want to see you in the future. But this line also has its limits.
So, when Zheng Qi asked her if she had time in the evening, Bai Xiao interrupted him directly: "Sorry, I have to have dinner with my boyfriend tonight."
"..."
Bai Xiao continued: "If there is nothing else, I will hang up first. I will be with my boyfriend."
Without giving Zheng Qi a chance to speak again, Bai Xiao picked up the phone and felt someone approaching behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw Yu Shaoting who had entered the office at some point. She didn't know if she was focused on the phone or if he was deliberately taking it easy.
She didn't notice that he was already behind her.
"Are you done?" Bai Xiao calmly put the phone into his pocket.
Yu Shaoting glanced at her little movements from the end of his eyes and asked calmly: "Who did you just call?"
"Zheng Qi, that's the one who drove the Lamborghini just now." Bai Xiao noticed his anger midway through his words and wanted to explain, but the office door opened.
Jing Xing took the takeout box and knocked on the door: "Mr. Yu, Miss Bai, the takeout has arrived."
Bai Xiao went over and took the box: "Sorry to trouble you."
As soon as Jing Xing went out, Bai Xiao closed the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw Yu Shaoting who had already walked up to him, and was startled: "Why are you walking silently?"
"A second-generation ancestor like this only squanders his family's wealth and influence. Apart from playing with women, what else can he bring to the table?"
Yu Shaoting's tone of voice was very bad, and some people thought that he was the one educating his disobedient son.
Bai Xiao heard what he said about Zheng Qi. She knew a little about Zheng Qi. She passed Yu Shaoting and walked to the sofa area. While taking out the takeout, she said: "Actually, Zheng Qi is not bad. He has friends with himself."
Open an advertising company and become famous in Fengcheng."
"I didn't know you knew him so well."
Bai Xiao heard something was wrong in his tone and turned her head. He was already in front of her, and his black trousers came into her sight. She heard him say stiffly: "You are not allowed to associate with him or with strange men in the future."
When you go out to eat, you are also not allowed to accept flowers from others casually or be ambiguous with others."
"You asked someone to spy on me?!" He even knew about sending flowers.
Yu Shaoting did not answer, but said to himself: "You are now the mother of your child, not one of those seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls. You should see clearly who you should be friends with and who you should avoid. You should not be led away by others just by saying sweet words."
Walk with your nose...Okay, now let's eat."
"..."
——————————
In the afternoon, Bai Xiao returned to the company and saw that everyone looked like a spy sent by Yu Shaoting to monitor him.
During the break, Bai Xiao went to the tea room to make a cup of coffee. When he came back, he saw several other young female colleagues chatting with magazines.
"I didn't expect Mr. Pei to be so photogenic. He is no different from himself."
As soon as Bai Xiao sat back down, her colleague spread the magazine in front of her and asked her: "Bai Xiao, you worked as an assistant at Pei's. Are you Mr. Pei's assistant? What kind of person is he usually? By the way, listen.
Is it true that he is engaged to the granddaughter of our Fengcheng Yu family?"
After taking a sip of coffee, Bai Xiao smiled: "You have better information than me, so I have resigned a long time ago."
"No." A colleague didn't believe it and came over: "Then tell us some of Mr. Pei's privacy, which is not mentioned above."
Looking at the contents of the magazine pointed by her colleague, Bai Xiao saw that it was a survey on hobbies and interests, and her eyes rested on the line "Coordination of Clothing".
Pei Qiyou wrote a navy blue British-style suit, a burgundy tie, and a pink blue shirt.
Bai Xiao looked at it, but her memory went back to a long time ago. When she was fifteen or sixteen, she liked to read fashion magazines and collect pictures of male models wearing suits. One time, Pei Qiyou accidentally discovered that she liked men wearing navy blue.
Slim suit, burgundy thin tie, pink blue shirt.
Although he scoffed at it on the spot, at Mr. Pei's birthday party later, he wore the same outfit as a male model in her collection of pictures.
——————————
There was still half an hour before getting off work, so Bai Xiao called Yu Shaoting, although they seemed to have broken up on bad terms at noon.
"Auntie asked us to go home to choose wedding invitations in the evening. Can you pick me up from get off work later?"
"..." There was silence on the other side, obviously still upset about what happened at noon.
"It's half past four now. I haven't finished my work yet. You'll drive over here at about 4:45..."
"Isn't that guy named Zheng driving a sports car? Ask him to pick you up."
"..." Bai Xiao realized that what Yang Xi said was true. This man is really childish sometimes: "I'll wait for you downstairs when I get there."
"I have a meeting later and I'm not free."
"Be careful when driving on the road." Bai Xiao said, minding his own business.
"..."
"I still have to do something, so let's hang up now." After saying that, Bai Xiao pressed the hangup button and returned to the office area.
Bai Xiao specially left work early and just pushed out the revolving door when she saw Zheng Qi waiting there leaning against the car door.
Zheng Qi saw her and came over with a smile: "Are you off work?"
Bai Xiao: "I thought I made it clear on the phone, Zheng Qi, I already have a partner."
"I know, but that doesn't stop me from pursuing you."
"...Actually, there's no need for you to be like this. It's just a waste of time on me."
"How do you know if you haven't tried it, Xiaoxiao, don't doubt my determination, I really want to chase you."
Bai Xiao looked at Zheng Qi with a sincere face: "My boyfriend will be unhappy."
"It's normal for him to be unhappy!" Zheng Qi expressed understanding: "If it were me, I wouldn't be happy about my girlfriend being chased by someone else."
"But, I don't want to see him unhappy."
"..."
"I don't want him to be unhappy because of me." Bai Xiao repeated.
