Chapter 679 - His Mother must be Tanned (1/2)

She bent down, picked up her documents from the floor, and patted it before leaving.

Chu Lui looked at her back view and his face darkened. The feeling of failure frustrated him.

How could he forget about this?

He wanted to explain whatever had happened four years ago and give her justice, but he was afraid that it would put her in the spotlight once again. He would definitely return her justice to make up for whatever he did in the past, but the time was not now.

On the other hand, Xia Ruoxin walked back to her office and threw the documents onto the table. Before her butt could warm the seat, there was a knock on the door.

“Sister Ruoxin, it’s me. Can I come in?”

“Come in!” Xia Ruoxin laughed. It was Du Jingtang.

To Chu Lui’s cousin, she could not hate him at all. This man was usually quite smart, but one could not deny that he was a good person compared to Chu Lui.

At the very least, he did save her life before.

Du Jingtang came in. He looked fresh even though his face was tanned, but it did not harm his appearance. It made him look someone with character and was rather handsome. It was especially so when he smiled as he would reveal two rows of sparkling white teeth.

“Sister Ruoxin, why are you here?” Du Jingtang was very excited for real. She was here so his Little Cutie would be here, too. He surveyed his surroundings. Was she hiding?

“Don’t need to look for her. She isn’t here.”

Xia Ruoxin knew what he was thinking. However, she disappointed him. Unless necessary, she did not want to bring her daughter over.

Oh… she was not here. Du Jingtang was slightly dejected. He had even changed clothes and showered before coming here, but he still did not see Little Cutie in the end.

“She’s in the kindergarten. You can see her when you come to my house to eat.”

He was kind of her friend, a friend that she quite liked. Of course, it was also because he really liked Rainy.

Her daughter was loved by many and had much more happiness than her mother when she was young.

Of course, she would not stop these people who genuinely liked her daughter.

“Really?” Du Jingtang scratched his head; he actually had this chance.

“Anytime.” Xia Ruoxin really welcomed him.

“That’s great!” Du Jingtang was actually anxious. He would go in a while so he could see Little Cutie as soon as possible.

“Oh.” He then realized that there was something amiss.

“Sister Ruoxin, why are you here?” Du Jingtang lay on the table. Did something happen in the office when he was not around these few days? Or perhaps, did this couple reconcile?

Obviously, he was overthinking. They had a long way to reconciliation.

However, if there was any progress, it was probably because Chu Lui was now in a more favorable position. However, for Xia Ruoxin, she no longer wanted to have another office romance.

Her life was peaceful. Even though her heart was not as cold as ice, she did not want to think about romance anymore.

As for why was she here, what could she say?

Even heroes needed to bend their backs over for rice, let alone her who was not a hero.
