“What does it have to do with me whether she asks for leave or not?” Xu Jialu rolled his eyes at him, paused for a few seconds, and couldn’t help but ask, ” “Why did she ask for leave?”
Xie tingxi smiled. &Quot; didn’t you say that it has nothing to do with you? ”
“I’m just asking. It’s up to you if you don’t want to tell me.” He leaned back in his chair, his long legs crossed, and his face was unruly.
“I think he’s not feeling well. I’m not sure about the details.” Xie tingxi answered simply. After all, su lanxu was just his assistant.
Xu Jialu frowned and didn’t say anything else. He changed the topic to work.
After talking for more than an hour, it was almost lunch time. Xie tingxi invited him to have lunch together.
Xu Jialu refused without thinking, ” what’s good to eat with a man like you? ”
Xie tingxi didn’t mind his attitude and asked his Secretary to send him off.
The Secretary sent him into the elevator and couldn’t help but complain when he came back. &Quot; &Quot; President Xie, this Xu Jialu is too rude. He’s always holding a gun in his mouth when he talks to you. &Quot;
Xie tingxi handed the document back to him. &Quot; do you know why President mo values him so much when he has such a bad temper? ”
The Secretary shook his head.
&Quot; because he’s from a technical background. He has absolute strength. &Quot; Xie tingxi’s gentle voice had an absolute deterrent.
For people like them, a person’s temperament and hobbies were not important at all. What was important was that the person had absolute strength and could bring benefits to the company.
Even if this person used to sweep the streets or was in prison.
The Secretary seemed to have understood and nodded. &Quot; director Xie, I understand.
Xie tingxi waved him out, put down his pen, and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
It seemed like he had made the right decision to keep su lanxu.
***
Xu Jialu left the fu Xie Corporation but did not go back to the company. He drove directly to the SU family’s house and stood at the door to ring the doorbell.
The first time, no one opened the door. The second time, there was still no response.
By the third time, he had already taken out his phone impatiently to make a call.
Kada.
The door opened, and a pale little face appeared through the crack. Her hair was messy, and she looked extremely Haggard.
“What are you doing here?” Su lanxu looked at him through the half-opened door. Her voice was weak. &Quot; what’s the matter? ”
Xu Jialu put the phone back, looked at her up and down, and came to a conclusion. &Quot; your period is here. It’s menstrual cramps. &Quot;
Su lanxu glanced at him but did not have the strength to speak. She leaned against the door frame and took a few breaths.”No matter what it is, we can talk about it another day. If it’s about work, you can find …”
Before she could finish, Xu Jialu suddenly kicked the door open and picked her up.
Su lanxu, whose feet were off the ground and her whole body was floating in the air, was stunned.
She looked up at the man who was carrying her in his arms, her eyes full of surprise. &Quot; you, what are you doing? ”
She struggled to get out of his arms.
“Don’t move,” Xu Jialu’s face was tense, and he said in a low voice, ” “You don’t even have the strength to speak, so why are you still acting tough!”
He carried su Lan Xu and strode over to the sofa. He put her down carefully and covered her with the blanket.
Su lanxu was curled up on the sofa. She really didn’t have the strength to talk. She was in so much pain that she was breaking out in cold sweat.
“Have you taken your medicine?” Xu Jialu asked.
Since he had a younger sister at home, he had some knowledge about menstruation.
Su lanxu shook her head gently. &Quot; it didn’t hurt before. I might have eaten something cold last night … &Quot;
Xu Jialu straightened his back and looked at her, trembling in pain. His heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat’s paw, painful and numb.
&Quot; I’ll go out and buy you some medicine. What’s the password to your house? I’ll open the door myself when I come back later. &Quot;
Su lanxu closed her almond-shaped eyes and told him the password weakly.
She only said it once and didn’t care if he remembered it or not. She stopped talking.
Xu Jialu took his car keys and went out. First, he went to the nearby pharmacy to buy painkillers and tonics to replenish his qi and blood. Then, he went to the supermarket to buy some groceries and sanitary pads in case of an emergency.
That stupid girl couldn’t even remember her own period and ate cold food. There was no guarantee that there was no such thing in the house.
When he returned, su lanxu was in a half-asleep state. Because her stomach was still hurting, she couldn’t stop trembling even with the blanket.
Xu Jialu poured a glass of water and tested the temperature with his hand. When he felt that it was ready, he woke su lanxu up.
“Take your medicine first.”
Su Lan Xu forced her eyes open. Her teary eyes were filled with confusion and innocence. Her expression was pained and even a little weak, making one feel pity for her.
Xu Jialu took out two pills and put them to her mouth. &Quot; take the medicine and sleep. It won’t hurt very soon. &Quot;
Su lanxu opened her mouth and bit down. Her lips accidentally touched his palm.
Xu Jialu’s thick eyelashes trembled violently, and something flashed in his eyes.
Su lanxu didn’t notice the change in his eyes. She drank half a glass of water and lay back down.
He continued to resurrect.
Xu Jialu put down the cup, pulled the thin blanket over her, and then walked into the kitchen.
Su lanxu was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed. She could hear sounds coming from the kitchen.
Perhaps the painkiller had taken effect, but she fell into a deep sleep soon after.
Xu Jialu was busy in the kitchen. When he finally got some rest, he opened the kitchen door and saw the girl sleeping soundly on the sofa. His expression seemed to have relaxed a lot.
He retracted his leg and closed the door. Then, he took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette with the fire on the stove.
The smoke dispersed in circles. He squinted his eyes and looked at the girl in the living room through the glass door.
Lin Wanying’s words surfaced in his mind, and his Adam’s apple rolled a few times.
Lin Wanying was not the only one who had noticed his excessive attention and concern for su lanxu.
But …
You don’t want to admit it, right?
He had always thought that she was a liar and that she might hurt Youyou one day, so he had never liked her.
He always wanted to quarrel with her and always looked at her with colored glasses.
However, when she went abroad, he would feel an inexplicable sense of disappointment, especially when she blocked his WeChat every time she called Youyou and sent her a message.
His heart would always be filled with anger. This heartless crazy girl was really cruel!
It wasn’t easy to see her back, but she had changed. She no longer competed with her like before and even had a boyfriend.
What’s so cute about a scumbag? only this idiot can’t see the viciousness and ruthlessness of a man!
On one hand, he hated her stupidity, but on the other hand, he couldn’t bear to see her being deceived by a scumbag and suffer even more.
He couldn’t analyze his feelings for su Lan Xu. It was too complicated.
Xu Jialu took a deep puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaled …
