Chapter 20: They said she looks like him? (2)

On this end, Lin Xi still had no idea that after experiencing being sent away, even her household register was about to be moved out in a package deal.

After she had changed into a set of clean clothes, Lin Xi returned to the little conference room and waited without worries.

While waiting, Lin Xi pulled out a book from her backpack and started reading.

It was very quiet in the conference room with nobody there to disturb her.

Xu Fei, after taking care of a few documents and walking out of his office, overheard a few female employees chitchatting in a low voice in the break room of 27thfloor and the topic seemed to be surrounding between the girl and their boss.

“You are kidding, right? You said the girl looks like our…” The female employee looked shocked and mouthed the word “boss”.

“I kid you not. They look a lot alike, especially the feeling that they give you.”

“Aura? What aura?”

“I can’t really put my fingers on it. Styles, expressions, um, aura? They are just alike.”

“So, the girl is the boss’s… um, you know?”

“Stop it! She could be a child from a relative’s family too.”

“But isn’t she supposed to be some student that the boss has sponsored?”

……

Xu Fei cleared his throat and purposefully interrupted the conversation between the employees. The few were startled and quickly wrapped up their breaks and returned to their own desks.

Xu Fei stood there feeling baffled. What did they say? That the child resembles their boss? How come he didn’t notice it?

Xu Fei went back into the conference room dubiously and saw Lin Xi, who had cleaned herself. Xu Fei’s eyes widened immediately. This wasn’t “somewhat alike”; this was very much alike!

Seeing that Xu Fei had returned, Lin Xi put away her book and looked at him.

“You…” are not really the boss’s child, are you?

“Your name is Lin Xi?”

Lin Xi nodded.

“You must be hungry. There’s a cafeteria here. Wait here, I’ll bring you some food,” said Xu Fei. He couldn’t let his boss’s child starve.

Xu Fei returned quickly with food.

Lin Xi’s lips twitched when she saw the pile of meats on her plate: What’s with this sudden “hospitality”?

Taking the chopsticks from Xu Fei, something seemed to have occurred to Lin Xi. Looking at Xu Fei, she asked, “Is my dad back yet? Do we need to get him some also?”

Xu Fei, who was also eating, paused and then explained, “Oh, I forgot to mention. The boss will be at the symposium for the next two days. Going there and back will be another 2.5 days. So you will be staying here with me for the next couple of days.”

Lin Xi nodded while biting down on the chopsticks.

As the two ate, Xu Fei noticed that Lin Xi seemed to particularly enjoy the sweet and sour pork so he had another colleague brought over another big bowl for her from the cafeteria.

Lin Xi, “……” Is it murder if she dies from overeating?

***

After dinner, Lin Xi was taking to a building behind the NTN Technology Center.

“This is the temporary housing area for the Center. We normally use it to host different scholar teams or as temporary housing for new employees,” said Xu Fei. “You can stay here for the next couple of days. You can use the phone inside your room to contact the building management team directly if you need anything.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s very safe here.

“Don’t do go running around either, okay?”

Xu Fei, worried about Lin Xi, nagged some more before he took off.

-- Xu Fei was quite fond of this valedictorian-like child who popped out of nowhere from the get go, especially it was looking more and more likely that she could be the boss’s child.

That being said, what had happened back then that would leave his boss with this child.

Xu Fei couldn't help but wonder when he looked at Lin Xi.

In a minute or less, Xu Fei had already come up with a whole Mary Sue drama of “The Domineering CEO Is in Love with Me” and “Beautiful Female Lead Ran off with Bun”.

“Xiao Xi, if you are coming to look for your father by yourself, then…” Where is your mom?

All of a sudden, Xu Fei was very curious about this woman who had crossed path with their boss in the past.

Nevertheless, one thought of what Lin Xi looked like when she presented herself, he stopped himself.

-- She looked dirty and pitiful. Who knew where she came from and how far she had walked before arriving here? And what happened on her way and how much suffering she had to endure on her way. And she had ate so much during dinner. When was the last time she had any food in her?

If her mother was still around and that her days were decent, how would she look the way that she did?

Perhaps, her mother had already…

The possibility of that put a solemn look on Xu Fei. The more he thought about it, the more likely he thought that might be the case.

Why else would this child show up out of the blue looking for their boss?

Perhaps this child’s mother could no longer raise her and that was why she had told her the truth and had her come looking for her father.

With that thought, Xiao Xi was such a pitiful child.
