Chapter 127 - His Daughter? (1/2)

Xiu slowly and like really slowly turned around and found Dylan leaning against the door with a smirk on his face. Xiu looked at him for a moment longer as she thought, 'Oh, how I wish to hit him with my heels this time. No, you can't do that, Xiu! Don't forget you're in the office. Keep up this professional avatar. Argh! I can't get the idea of my heel against his head out of my mind. That's so enticing.'

Dylan obviously was oblivious to the things running through Xiu's mind. However, as he saw Bo Jiu waving at him, he gestured her to leave. Bo Jiu made a face at him like a kid and even bumped into his shoulder on purpose before walking off.

”Do you have to always come at the wrong time?” Xiu's voice made him raise his brows in question. ”You don't let me sleep in peace and now I can't even curse at you in peace.”

”Curse me at my face. But right now, we have to go for a location inspection.”

”You're letting me off the hook? That easily?”

Dylan only sighed in reply as if to say he couldn't do anything else.

Xiu nodded in understanding and got up to follow him. Taking all the needed doc.u.ments, both of them went out of the company. The location check was done rather smoothly as they both were at their best professional behaviors. Since both of them took their jobs too seriously, the inspection was done without any hitch.

After that, they went to the laboratory to see the progress of their new product and on the way back from there, Xiu told him, ”There is an article about you trending on Weibo.”

”I know,” was his simple answer.

Xiu frowned at his so carefree response and added, ”If you knew why didn't you ask the PR team to take care of this matter?”

”I'm sure the PR team has better things to do than to clear up their boss' image,” replied Dylan with his eyes on the road.

”Clearing your image is also their job,” reminded Xiu.

As Dylan stopped the car at a red light, he asked, ”Ms. Bai, drop your biasedness for a minute and tell me, do you think those rumors are true?”

Xiu looked at his serious expression oddly and shook her head in negation saying, ”I don't think so. That little girl could never be your daughter.”

”Do you have faith in me?” he inquired with a quirk of his brow.

Xiu shook her head again and said, ”Don't flatter yourself. I just don't think such a beautiful daughter could be yours.” Dylan's face twitched at her response as he drove the car. ”But on a serious note, the picture is not fake. It can impact our company's image. What if the board of directors asked you about this?”

Dylan smiled to himself as he answered, ”Ms. Bai, social media can fool the innocent public. The board of directors already know who the little girl in that photo is. Anyway, I already asked the PR team to clear up the little girl's news from the media. It can have a huge impact on her life, not mine.”

”Who is she?” asked Xiu since now, even she had some curiosity about this matter.

Instead of replying to her, Dylan parked the car in front of a cafe and unfastened his seatbelt saying, ”Let's get something to drink. I'm sure you must be tired after walking all day.”

Xiu frowned at him as she wondered, 'When did you become so thoughtful?' Indeed, she was tired. It was close to noon and she had been following him in her heels from the morning. She definitely wanted to drink or eat something after that much walk.
