Chapter 684 - Bully Her for her Lack of Father (2/2)

Knock, knock. She knocked on the door.

“Come in.” A man’s voice came from the outside; it was low and had a hint of gloominess.

She opened the door and walked in to smell a woman’s perfume smell. That smell was extremely familiar. There was a type of women: when they love a particular smell, they would carry it with them all day long. According to those women, that would be their woman scent. If anyone had smelled this similar scent, they would know that she had been here.

Coincidentally, she actually knew of such a woman. That woman used this type of fragrance; even if four years had passed, she still used the same scent.

The same scent that would make her uncomfortable.

“CEO Chu, this is the proposal that you wanted.”

Xia Ruoxin placed the proposal on Chu Lui’s table. The closer she got, the stronger the scent of the perfume.

Her nose started to feel uncomfortable.

Chu Lui took the document, and when he was about to speak, he heard a sound from Xia Ruoxin.

“Achoo…”

In a moment of carelessness, it seemed as though something had landed on his face.

If it were someone else, Chu Lui would have grabbed the person and smashed him against the window.

“What’s the matter? Do you have flu?” Chu Lui placed the documents in his hand down and came over to feel Xia Ruoxin’s forehead. “The weather these days isn’t very good as it is hot sometimes and cold at other times. Are you really sick? Why are you so careless? You’re already so old; can’t you take care of yourself more? Rainy is still small; what happens when you infect her?”

When he came nearer, Xia Ruoxin kept sneezing nonstop.

Chu Lui’s hand stopped in mid-air, and he stared at Xia Ruoxin as she kept sneezing.

“You, don’t come near me.” Xia Ruoxin raised her hands to block Chu Lui.

“A woman knows that I am allergic to a certain scent so—since young—she made herself smell like a bottle of walking perfume and would hover around me.”

Chu Lui’s face darkened. He instantly knew what she meant; he hurriedly opened a door and walked in. Inside the room was a mini restroom with bathroom facilities. Sometimes, when he was busy, he would stay in for a night.

Once Xia Ruoxin walked out, the tingling senses affecting her nose disappeared instantly.

She started to pant for air. She could not believe that Xia Yixuan had done it on purpose.

After so many years, she was still as childish as before. That was no wonder as a child spoiled by her parents while growing up was different from one that had to bear the brunt. She long knew how to be independent, but as for Xia Yixuan, she still had not grown up. Even until now, she was still very stubborn.

“Xia Ruoxin, come in.” Chu Lui’s voice came from the inside.

Xia Ruoxin sighed softly. That smell.

She felt as though she was going to cry.

She opened the door and thought she was going to smell that perfume again, but the smell had changed.

“Wow, this is so strong. What is this smell?” She waved the air in front of her. “Why is it so choking?”
