276 It Would Be A Disgrace If People Found Ou (1/2)

She furrowed her eyebrows and watched his gorgeous face as he slept. With an involuntary sigh, she bent down to remove his shoes and socks.

She grabbed both his legs and pushed him back on the bed, which required much effort.

Yan Rusheng lifted the blanket after she left. He was quite pleased when he saw that she'd removed his shoes and socks.

Guess she doesn't hate me that much.

...

Yan Rusheng glanced at his empty cup and dialed Xuxu's extension number. ”Wen Xuxu.”

It was his assistant, Qiao Jian, who picked up. ”President, the madam left the office after lunch. She said that she won't be coming back today.”

Yan Rusheng frowned at his reply and asked irritably, ”Who did she ask permission from?”

But he hung up snappily before Qiao Jian could reply. Immediately, he dialed Xuxu's number.

The call went through, but it rang for some time before Xuxu answered, ”Hello, President Yan.”

Yan Rusheng heard her addressing him formally, and it made him even grouchier. ”Where did you go?”

Xuxu replied calmly, ”I have something going on in the afternoon, so I'm taking the rest of the day off.”

”You—” Yan Rusheng stopped himself before he could lecture her. He paused and pondered for a few seconds before softening his tone. ”Come home early tonight.”

Madam Mu Li seemed to find out from a source that they weren't speaking to each other. She called early in the morning to give him a good dressing-down.

Her advice included, 'Women are made of water, so a man has to be gentle because all women like men who are gentle.'

But he disagreed with the saying since Wen Xuxu didn't seem to be made of water. But indeed, she did like effeminate men like... Jiang Zhuoheng.

And so, he decided to give it a try.

Unsurprisingly, Xuxu was startled to by his gentleness. It took a while to collect herself before she responded, ”Okay.”
