C17 (2/2)

”Hi, Mr. Jin, Mr. Miss. Good morning.”

Xi Yaoxin then instinctively wanted to defend Jin Yuting. A fellow colleague Zhu Yinly who worked in the same lab as her, and who was even more experienced than her, walked over and greeted the two of them.

Zhu Yinly was also a Cloud Island disciple like them, but because she was in a foreign company and had trained abroad, she would often mix her words with other people in the company.

Xi Yaoxin tilted her head and greeted Zhu Yinly. Then, they entered Blending Room together as they chatted.

Even though her heart was a little troubled about Jin Lixin and Jin Yuting, the moment she started working, Xi Yaoxin had thrown all of these things to the back of her mind and put her heart and soul into it.

It wasn't until she was on her way home from work that her head was temporarily empty. She sat on the subway and started thinking about the two men.

Jin Lixin confessed to her, and Jin Yuting's expression was even simpler and more crude. Originally, she thought that he liked people who were more reserved, but she remembered the confession he made to Jin Lixin that night.

In comparison, Jin Yuting's direct appearance did not offend her, and had even made his feel that … When she thought back to what happened that day, aside from her heart bumping wildly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. He couldn't help but reach out to touch his lips.

Realizing that she was still in public, Xi Yaoxin quickly retracted her hand. Her guilty gaze swept across everyone in the carriage and bumped into someone who was looking at her.

To cover it up, she lowered her head and pretended to play on her phone, but she accidentally opened the text message Jin Yuting sent her two days ago. But I mean what I say.

Even after two days, when she looked at the message again, her heart was still pounding.

”Do you always speak so directly to women?”

Xi Yaoxin edited the sentence, hesitated for a while, then deleted the sentence, and changed the sentence: ”Don't you feel that you're single because of your strength?”

”DogLeading!”

In the end, she sent out those two words.

When she finished, she regretted it. It had already been two days and there was no response, Jin Yuting had not asked, maybe he was just messing with her, he had already given up on it, what could she do if she mentioned it now!

But what if he sent it with his own hands?

How would he react?

Xi Yaoxin kept a close eye on the phone's notification sound, but when she reached home and did not hear a reply, she felt extremely humiliated.

On the other side, Jin Yuting was in his office signing a document when his cellphone's notification sound rang.

He signed the documents and handed it over to Sun Yangguang, then casually picked up his phone.

When he realized that it was Xi Yaoxin's text message, emotions started to surface on his stiff face. He quickly opened it and saw the two words that were displayed.

After that, he raised his head and looked at Sun Yangguang who was about to close the door and leave: ”Special Assistance Sun.”

”Director Jin, what's the matter?” Sun Yangguang hurriedly stood still and upright.

Jin Yuting pondered for a moment, ”What do you mean by 'dog lead'?”

Sun Yangguang looked at Jin Yuting in a probing manner, his gaze landed on his phone, then quickly retracted it and answered in a straight manner, ”DogLeading used to be a popular term on the internet, it evolved from English and on the surface it means … ”Go die.”
