n

nThe female secretary: “??”

n

nHua Xuanhe pressed the space between his eyebrows. “You can go out first.”

n

nAt least she had a brain. She had poured iced coffee.

n

nThe previous female secretary had poured hot coffee. He was not a dead pig, so of course he was afraid of being scalded.

n

nThe female secretary whimpered and said meekly, “Don’t fire me. I’ll definitely wash your clothes. Or, I can even compensate you!”

n

nHua Xuanhe’s head hurt listening to her. “…You can go out first.”

n

nThe female secretary turned around and left.

n

nJust as she left, Hua Xuanhe called the personnel department. “Change the position of the new secretary.”

n

nHe could not afford to be treated like a novel’s domineering CEO.

n

nFortunately, there was a change of clothes in the lounge. Hua Xuanhe changed his clothes and was about to put on a tie when he remembered that he was about to get off work, so he put down his tie.

n

n‘Forget it, I’ll get off work early.’

n

nBefore he got off work, Hua Xuanhe saw the gifts on the table.

n

nWhat would his good-for-nothing younger brother give him?

n

nHua Xuanhe opened the box, and his smile froze.

n

nWhy would someone give him a pink tie?

n

nIt was even from his younger brother!

n

nHua Xuanhe silently opened the other two boxes.

n

nThe color was okay. It was the color that young men liked.

n

nBut this texture…

n

nForget it. It was a heartfelt gesture.

n

nHis phone rang. It was Sheng Yan.

n

nSheng Yan said, “I’m in Yanjing. Are you free tonight? Do you want to go out for dinner?”

n

nHua Xuanhe looked at the time. “Okay.”

n

nAfter setting the time and place, Hua Xuanhe put on a tie.

n

n..

n

nMarriott Revolving Restaurant.

n

nShi Xi followed Xie Yunzhou to the restaurant and found that the entire restaurant was empty.

n

n“No one is coming. Will it taste bad?” Shi Xi asked softly.

n

nXie Yunzhou: “…I booked the entire place.”

n

nShi Xi blinked and changed the topic. “Why aren’t the others here yet?”

n

nXie Yunzhou: “There’s no one else. You’re the only one here.”

n

n“Ah?” Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou in front of her and sighed in her heart.

n

nThe relationship between the big shot villains was too bad.

n

nNo one came to celebrate his birthday.

n

nIt was too tragic.

n

nXie Yunzhou could not see through Shi Xi’s thoughts. He brought her to a seat by the window and said, “Sit.”

n

nAfter the two sat down, music started playing in the middle of the restaurant.

n

nShi Xi looked toward the source of the music. Under the warm orange light, four musicians were playing the Lark Quartet. Two violins, a viola, and a cello complemented each other, and the sound of the violins was rhythmic and cheerful.

n

nThe waiter approached and brought over red wine and wine glasses.

n

nLuxurious.

n

nHigh-end.

n

nRomantic.

n

nXie Yunzhou thought that it was really a perfect date.

n

nBut someone just had to break the atmosphere.

n

nShi Xi said, “I’m sorry, I can’t drink wine. Change it to coke for me.”

n

nC-coke?

n

nXie Yunzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “Change it to coke for her.”

n

nShi Xi smiled faintly and said, “It’d better be cold. Thank you.”

n

nXie Yunzhou’s wish of tasting wine with a girl fell through.

n

nIt didn’t matter. Their date was still there.

n

nJust as Xie Yunzhou was about to speak, he heard a voice from outside.

n

n“Booking the entire place? What’s with booking the entire place? I’d like to see who in Yanjing dares not to give me face.”

n

nA domineering voice came from the door. The person pushed the security guard aside and strode in.

n

nXie Yunzhou looked over coldly.

n

nWho didn’t have eyes and actually came to disturb his date?!

n

nShi Xi looked over as well.

n

nWho was so brave to offend a big shot villain?

n

nThrow him into the river to feed the fish!!

n

n“Eh? It’s you?” When Shi Xi saw who it was, she was slightly surprised.

n

nXie Yunzhou frowned. “You know him?”

n

nShi Xi nodded and then shook her head.
