Chapter 896 - You’re not Indispensable (2/2)

Chu Lui’s heart felt like it was hit.

“Ruoxin…”

He stumbled and then walked over.

It was then that Xia Ruoxin looked up. Unfamiliar features, the same feeling; but it was not her.

“CEO, can I help you?” Xia Ruoxin stood up without putting away what she was drawing.

The unfamiliar voice was not the soft voice from before. It was a little raspy, like the voice of someone who just woke up. This was not her.

“It’s nothing.” Chu Lui parted his lips. His gaze landed on the dog she was drawing. This technique was hers, but it was not the same person.

“This is my family’s German shepherd. He’s called Charlie.”

Xia Ruoxin explained to Chu Lui. She hid her hands behind her, but no one knew how tight her clenched fists were.

“Please don’t do something like this at work,” Chu Lui said stiffly before he headed for his office.

After Chu Lui left, Xia Ruoxin continued drawing.

Not doing other things was to prevent getting in the way of work, but she knew her capabilities. Even though she got in through the back door, Chu Lui knew that she was a good assistant, sometimes even to the point of being telepathic.

She was Lu Xiaohua, but at the same time, she was Xia Ruoxin.

She really understood Chu Lui.

…

Knock, knock. She knocked on the door.

She then opened the door. Xia Yixuan was probably about to tell Chu Lui something, but she turned to glare murderously at Xia Ruoxin when she walked in.

“CEO, your documents.”

Xia Ruoxin placed the document in her hands on the table and walked out.

“Brother Lui,” Xia Yixuan said when she saw that there were only two of them left. She went up and hugged Chu Lui’s arm. “Brother Lui, shall we get married?”

Chu Lui parted his lips. “Why do you think that I’ll marry you?”

“You won’t marry me?” Xia Yixuan widened her eyes, unable to believe what she had heard. “Brother Lui, how can you not marry me?” She was the only woman around him in the last six months or so. Even Chu Jiang was rather polite towards her. She had free access to the Chu family. Everyone believed that the two of them would get married.

Chu Lui typed on the screen as the blue light reflected on his face. His eyes were a little dim and emotionless.

“Brother Lui, why won’t you marry me?” Xia Yixuan shook her head as she hugged Chu Lui’s arm. “Did you forget about our feelings from back then? Did you forget that Auntie Song is still unconscious and needs someone to take care of her?”

Chu Lui removed his arm.

“My mom has caretakers,” he said plainly. Xia Yixuan was not indispensable.
