Xiao Rui and An Nuannuan sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
An Nuannuan was at a loss for words, "Thank you."
"Um?"
"The matter about An Yiming."
An Nuannuan said sincerely, "Thank you."
"..." When An Yiming was mentioned, a sharp light flashed in Xiao Rui's eyes, and he said casually, "He deserves it."
An Nuannuan nodded in agreement.
Xiao Rui leaned back on the sofa relaxedly and found it funny to see An Nuannuan trying to find a topic. He tentatively said, "I thought you would think I was too harsh."
"I look like a white lotus?"
Hearing this, Xiao Rui looked at her carefully, wondering whether it was okay or not.
"No, I look so innocent and harmless!"
An Nuannuan laughed to hide her embarrassment. She covered her face and lowered her voice to pretend to be fierce, "You are wrong, I am actually a black-hearted lotus.
I have a good memory and remember both gratitude and grudges, so whoever dares to bully me, even if I don’t have the ability to pay him back now, I will endure it silently and pay him back tenfold when I am able.”
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows.
The atmosphere relaxed a bit, and An Nuannuan continued to say half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Besides, I'm not a good-bad person. You and An Yiming have no grievances, and you are helping me when dealing with him.
I am not capable enough myself, and it was only through your support that I could be brought to justice so quickly. In this situation, if I continue to complain about your cruelty... it's such a bitch."
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows again, and the corners of his mouth curved in pleasure.
Hmm! This person has a character that will seek revenge.
he likes.
"I also want to thank you for my mother's custody."
"..." Xiao Rui's face was expressionless.
An Nuannuan keenly noticed that his mood seemed not to be better than before. She was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"I thought we were friends?"
"of course."
"Treat me as a friend, so don't be polite."
The most common thing he heard her say to him was thank you. "Thank you" was a very distant word, and he didn't like that she often used this word on her lips.
An Nuannuan doesn't think so.
She thought for a while and then said, "It's just because you consider me a friend that I want to say thank you even more.
We are friends... To put it bluntly, I am taking advantage of you.
After all, you can help me with my affairs, but I can't help you with anything.
You've helped me so much, but I can't repay you.
If I even skip the verbal thank you, wouldn’t I be able to take advantage of you with peace of mind!”
Xiao Rui wanted to say.
Not everyone can take advantage of him. It is his own business if he is willing to let her take advantage of him.
But the words were stuck in his throat and never came out.
She was afraid that An Nuannuan would feel ambiguous and alienate him instead.
The topic ended and the two fell into silence again.
The two of them were embarrassed again.
To be precise, An Nuannuan was the only one who was embarrassed. Xiao Rui himself didn't talk much and was used to being left alone, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
One second.
Two seconds.
Five seconds passed.
An Nuannuan was bald thinking about topics. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything to talk about with Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui never talked about work during off hours. They met not long ago. She didn't know much about Xiao Rui at all.
I don’t know his preferences, so I don’t know where to start.
Speak the truth.
The two of them developed from superiors to friends, and she was quite confused.
She has a very clear understanding of herself. She has no merits and an unpleasant personality. She doesn't know why she became friends with Xiao Rui inexplicably.
Continue to be quiet.
An Nuannuan's fingernails were all dug out, and the atmosphere became increasingly embarrassing.
Sudden.
She stood up suddenly, attracting Xiao Rui's sideways glance.
An Nuannuan smiled awkwardly, "I'm going to wash some fruits. I bought a lot of fruits. What do you like to eat?"
"I'm not picky about food."
"Okay, just wait a moment!"
An Nuannuan rushed into the kitchen with her bag as if running away. She felt the unignorable sight behind her gradually disappear, and An Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's up?"
Zhao Xinyi lowered her voice.
An Nuannuan also lowered her voice, "Wash the fruits."
"..." Zhao Xinyi secretly glanced outside, wiped her sweat and continued in a low voice, "Didn't I travel to Hainan Province last summer?"
An Nuannuan didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this. While rinsing the watermelon, she looked at her puzzledly and heard Zhao Xinyi whisper, "I was diving at that time. I forgot how many meters I had dived. Anyway, it just felt like
The water pressure in the sea is extremely high.
But, just standing with Mr. Xiao, I realized that the pressure was greater than the pressure of diving."
An Nuannuan, "..." Zhao Xinyi gave her an admiring look, "Our teacher used to say that you have a tough character and will definitely achieve great success in the future. I was secretly dissatisfied when I heard this, but now, I am willing to accept the defeat! Sure enough,
Your teacher is still your teacher, he has a vicious eye."
"..." An Nuannuan laughed dryly.
She is also under a lot of pressure, why else would she be hiding in the kitchen washing fruits?
She took out the chopping board for cutting fruit, then took out the fruit knife and started to cut the watermelon on the fruit plate. Then she heard Zhao Xinyi in the kitchen change the subject, "No wonder the boss has never been rumored about scandals or relationships."
"Well?"
"He is unsmiling and never gets angry. It is good for a person like this to be a boss and make people fear him.
If he is able to save you enthusiastically, it means he is a good person and would be good as a friend.
If it's a boyfriend... Oh my god, the cold-faced King of Hell is nothing more than that. Who would fall in love with the King of Hell and seek death!"
"..." Her remarks were so bold that An Nuannuan was so frightened that she quickly looked outside. Seeing Xiao Rui still sitting on the sofa in the living room, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I just complain in front of you, but I dare not say it in person."
Zhao Xinyi stir-fried the vegetables in the pot and couldn't help but tell An Nuannuan during the break, "Real life is not a bloody boss idol drama. Iceberg beauties like the boss can only be watched from a distance.
In life, gentle and considerate men like Xu Qian are still popular."
Xu Qian...she hasn't told Zhao Xinyi about her breakup with Xu Qian. It's not that she deliberately concealed it, but she just didn't know where to start. According to Zhao Xinyi's character, she knew they broke up and would definitely get to the bottom of it. She didn't know how to tell her.
she explained.
An Nuannuan tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, "In your eyes, aren't there only two types of men: handsome and ugly? Xiao Rui doesn't like your aesthetics?"
"nonono!"
Zhao Xinyi shook her finger, "Hey, to be honest, although I didn't dare to take a closer look just now, the boss's appearance is still very durable.
Well... let me give you an analogy.
They are both handsome men who are eye-catching. Who wouldn’t want their boyfriend to smile tenderly at them when they are in love? Although the boss is also handsome, but when faced with such an expressionless face on a date... he will be in a good mood.
Give me a discount."
"..." "Why don't you say anything? Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Zhao Xinyi chuckled and poked her arm with his elbow maliciously, "Nuan Nuan, honestly.
If the boss and Xu Qian stood together and asked you to choose, who would you choose?"
