Chapter 12

Tang Xue was brought to a conference room on the third floor

Manager Wu pushed open the door and gestured her to go in Tang Xue felt that there was so odd about the whole situation but before she could ave her a gentle push Just like that, she was pushed into the room

“I just re on I’ll head off first You two have a good chat” On saying this, Manager Wu did not even give Tang Xue a chance to react before he closed the door with a thud

“Hey……” Tang Xue was baffled

She turned and swept her eyes across the conference room

The rooe With its si, the entire room felt extremely spacious In the middle was a conference table and at the end of this table was a FrenchIts grey curtains were drawn open and through the clearpanes, one could see an open space with trees and pedestrians

In front of the French as a black executive chair A person was sitting on this chair

Right now, this person sat facing the French , leaving Tang Xue with a back view of his head

How pretentious Tang Xue silently scoffed in her heart

“Hi” Tang Xue called out

The chair slowly, slowly turned before it finally faced her

That person earing a white tracksuit and had short hair that did not reach past his ears As he was back facing the sunlight shi+ning in from the , his face could not be seen that clearly However, Tang Xue took one look and was lightly stunned for a !

His face was fair ell-defined and syaze and the way he held himself was clean, poised and confident

He was sitting there quietly while basked in the sunlight, looking as if he was surrounded by a war an oil painting—gentle, refined and somewhat inexplicable

Tang Xue repeated herself, “Hi”

He briefly acknowledged her greeting with an “mm” In an unhurried tone, he asked, “You’re my new assistant?” His voice was deep and resonant like notes fros of a qin[1] It was exceptionally pleasant to the ears

Tang Xue puffed out her chest “Uh huh”

He earnestly nodded before appraising her, “How dark”

Tang Xue: “……”

Tang Xue was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained, “I just ca I’ll be

fairer in a while, really!”

He did not remark on this and instead rose and walked towards her

When he stood up, Tang Xue realized that this person was extremely tall He took slow and measured steps with his hands clasped behind his back With every step towards her, the figure in the sun grew taller and taller There was an al oppressed It was just like a string with its two ends being pulled in opposite directions With every tug, the string becahter, till it was so taut that it would snap at any moment

Tang Xue began to feel nervous She straightened her shoulders, sed her saliva and gazed at him

That person walked closer and closer Tang Xue could already see his features clearly

Then, she was unexpectedly disconcerted: This person looked really familiar!

That slant of his eyebrows, that nose, and that particular set of eyes that was like large round almonds with a narrow double eyelid fold It was an eye shape that looked suave without being fla and thick lashes so dark they seemed to have been dipped in ink It was like the feathers that one could pluck from a black Silkie baby chick…… Ah, she once described someone this way before, just as it……

She was so, so close to recalling! Tang Xue was a little agitated Her eyes darted and she spotted that on the right of his nose bridge, there was a teeny tiny light brown ht moon-like eyes

Ah!

It i! You’re Li Yubing?!”

Li Yubing lightly tilted his head and purposely gazed at her with a puzzled look “You’re…?”

“I’ Xue co here She was astonished but also delighted After all, he was an old classmate

“Tang Xue” Li Yubing’s expression became somewhat preoccupied

“Right, I’ Xue Don’t you remember me?”

“I do My childhood trauma”

“Eh……”

That was slightly aard

Li Yubing: “Thanks to your care, I didn’t get to spend a single penny ofthe six years of primary school”

Tang Xue felt even hly of me……”

Li Yubing scrutinized Tang Xue again He asked incredulously, “How the heck did you became so dark?”

“I’ve already said, I just ca, on’t you believe ed “The two of us are in the

the sa too Why didn’t you becorance[dot]wordpress[dot]co or if you simply want to read without ads

“Oh, I skipped a grade I’m in Year 2 this year”

Tang Xue was envious So it was actually possible for a person to be outstanding fro was like a prized steed that would always be galloping faster than other mules and donkeys

“Congratulations” Tang Xue bit her lips Her tone was just that teeny weeny bit sour She then probed, “You’re still playing ice hockey? I heard Manager Wu mentioned that you’re the core player of the school team?”

“Mm They orried that I have too much on my plate and thus hired an assistant I didn’t expect it to be you”

This sentence rudely re’s assistant

Li Yubing used to be her former lackey When she pointed to the east, he absolutely wouldn’t dare to venture west He was even more obedient than her current lackey Liao Zhenyu

And now, it was her turn to be his lackey……

This was the downfall of her great dynasty!

How ti Xue felt a wave of sorrow and was deeply despondent She was momentarily unable to accept this fact

She pouted in frustration, her face clearly broadcasting her helplessness
