Chapter 37 - The Wall of Brotherhood – 12 (1/2)

It could be said that the house was really big. After Bai Xun walked out of the room, there was a long corridor with a revolving staircase at the end.

She panicked and walked down the stairs into the hall until she saw Lu Zhi Yuan, who sat at the dining table, and was surprised. “How are you here? I, where am I?”

“This is my house, why shouldn’t I be here?” Lu Zhi Yuan took a long look at her. “As for you, yesterday you fell asleep at the office and grabbed me, so I brought you back.”

“I…really?” Bai Xun’s eyes weren’t certain. After all, it was because of her initial panic that she now felt reassured from seeing an acquaintance. “Thank you.”

Lu Zhi Yuan moved for a moment, he looked at the person opposite of him who had just woken up, she had messy hair and was a bit confused and thanked him. His eyes were deep – you’re so simple, were you really the person who took the money and abandoned me when I was injured…. are you really that person?

He didn’t speak, Bai Xun clutched her clothes, only to discover that she was wearing pajamas…

Her face changed again, she gritted her teeth and looked up at Lu Zhi Yuan, “Then, my clothes…you…that…”

She frowned her delicate eyes and tried to question him with a ferocious appearance.

Lu Zhi Yuan didn’t reply yet. A middle-aged aunt came out of the kitchen and heard Bai Xun’s words. She said with a smile, “Miss Bai, I helped you change your clothes when the young master brought you back yesterday. Your clothes have been washed, now I’ll get it for you.”

“Ah? Oh…thank you.” Bai Xun was stunned and blushed with embarrassment.

“Why, you didn’t just think…” Lu Zhi Yuan, with his hands around his chest smiled as if he thought of a funny joke. “What’s so good about your dull figure?”

Dull? …Three years ago, she could say the same, but she had deliberately adjusted all the categories for the model to be well-trimmed? Absolutely big chest, thin waist and outstanding buttocks, wasn’t this well cut?

Bai Xun took the clothes from the aunt and thanked her in a low voice. Then she hurried upstairs to change her clothes.

When she finished washing, Lu Zhi Yuan didn’t eat, it seemed as if he was waiting for her.

She didn’t know what to say. She stood there and hesitated for a while before she said, “Thank you president for what happened last night. I’ll go to the company first.”

“Stop.” Lu Zhi Yuan was a little upset and his face sank. “Come over and have the meal before you leave.”

Bai Xun hesitated and didn’t move.

Did she hate him so much?

Lu Zhi Yuan lightly said: “It’s very difficult to get a car here. Eat first, then we’ll go together after.”

Bai Xun eventually came over but sat far away from him.

After breakfast, the driver took them to the company.

The news that Bai Xun got off Lu Zhi Yuan’s car quickly spread throughout the company.

When she arrived at the office, there was a circle of people around her workstation who looked through some of the designs she printed yesterday. They saw her coming over and the crowd immediately dispersed, but there was clearly no contempt in their eyes.

After all, this was also a place that admired strength.

“Sister Annie, I’m sorry, I didn’t finish drawing yesterday, later…” Bai Xun smiled apologetically at Annie.

Annie glanced at her, she looked unnatural and pointed to the drawing on the desktop. “You’ve done a good job. You have ability, you don’t have to draw the rest.”

Bai Xun nodded, “What shall I do next?”

“Wait for Andric to arrange it.” Annie looked a little complicated, then turned to leave.

It was just that this morning, Andric didn’t talk to her.

Even at the regular meeting, he didn’t look at her at all, nor assigned her tasks.

Was this another way to deal with her? Ignore her and make her an idler?

Bai Xun didn’t show her thoughts, but quietly took notes according to their conversation.

From their conversation, she caught a person’s name — President Qin? It couldn’t be the president Qin that she was thinking of, was it?

She calculated the time, it might really be him.

When Bai Xun returned to her workstation, her cellphone was fully charged. After turning on her phone, she jumped from the countless missed calls and messages.

She made a phone call to him, she was a little anxious and apologetic. “General manager, I’m sorry, my cellphone ran out of power last night and I didn’t return your message in time.”

He picked up quickly but was silent for a while before he sounded an “En.”

Bai Xun was sensitive to Lu Zhi Yao’s bad mood and tentatively said, “Are you okay chief Lu?”

Lu Zhi Yao paused, he wanted to open his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

He knew that most of what Lu Zhi Yuan said yesterday was very likely used to make him angry.

He knew it clearly but couldn’t control it.

“…Nothing. Take care of yourself over there.”

Bai Xun was relieved and smiled. “Okay, I’ll be back on time today.”

Lu Zhi Yao’s eyebrows and eyes softened, and he answered softly, “En.”
