However, Du Xiaoxian’s wishful thinking was wrong. Although she was far away from him and escaped so fast, Lu Haochen still saw her petite body flashing away as lightly as a… little deer. Yes, she was like a little deer. However, Lu Haochen thought of the seven-colored divine deer in the cartoon that he watched when he was a child. Because he clearly saw that Du Xiaoxian’s body was glowing with a ball of faint white light, illuminating the dark corridor. However, she disappeared in an instant. The light in Lu Haochen’s eyes also dimmed. He frowned slightly as if he did not know why he stopped there.

When he entered the office, the windows were bright and the table was clean. Everything was neatly arranged, without the slightest bit of mess. He sat down and lit a cigarette. The smoke rose into the air, and he was in a daze. Suddenly, he tilted his body to look at the document cabinet by the wall. Because it was dark under the cabinet, he could not see it clearly. Then he got up and walked over. He squatted down and reached out his hand to touch the floor under the cabinet. It was cold and clean, and there was no dust at all. He took his hand out to take a look. It was indeed clean. He raised his eyebrows, thinking that she had reached her hand inside to wipe it again today.

Lu Haochen left home ten minutes in advance today. In fact, he was ready to go out half an hour earlier. However, he was a little hesitant. He did not know why he was hesitating. He just felt that he should not go so early. So he sat by the window and read a book for a while before leaving. The moment he saw Du Xiaoxian, he understood why he hesitated in the morning. That was because he did not want to meet her.

As for why he did not want to meet her, he wouldn’t bother to think further!

He didn’t want to see her. But he still saw her. Did this mean that they were fated to meet?

Lu Haochen stood by the window and looked at the red sun between buildings. In fact, the sun was a bit dazzling at eight o’clock. But the thick glass filtered the light and heat, so he did not feel uncomfortable when he looked at it directly.

Yawan saw strong sunshine all year round, so the skin of the residents here was darker. However, Du Xiaoxian was very white. Because of her white skin, her eyes seemed to be even darker. She glanced at the other end of the corridor with her eyes as bright as the stars. Lu Haochen could not help but frown again. Why did he think of her for no reason?

After his fiancée died, although he was single, there were still women around him. He was a man with a healthy body and mind. So he needed a partner. However, he never admitted that he had a girlfriend.

When he made the call and said lightly, “Come when you have time.” The other party would immediately be aware of what he meant. He would spend one night with her. No matter how enthusiastic he was during the night, when he woke up in the morning, he just gave a check to her. He was as cold as a stranger. However, women loved this. When he gave a call to any woman, they would rush to him like a moth darting into a flame.

It was not that he could not understand the affection in their eyes. He just found it troublesome. So he had never been interested in any of them. He was only interested in their bodies. But Du Xiaoxian… He touched his chin thoughtfully. She really made him curious.

However, in the next few days, Lu Haochen did not see the girl again who made him curious. He started to arrive earlier and earlier day by day. One day, he even arrived half an hour earlier. However, he still did not see Du Xiaoxian. When he pushed open the door, he always found that the office was clean and tidy. He knew that Du Xiaoxian had already cleaned it.

Coming to the company half an hour earlier was already something that was out of line in his rigid life. If he didn’t do it out of a whim, then it would be very strange. When he realized that he was thinking about Du Xiaoxian’s face instead of his business when he sat in his office and smoked, he knew that something was wrong. His curiosity went beyond the limit.

He only saw her twice. He saw her from afar at the other end of the corridor in one of those two encounters. But her face seemed to be clearer day by day. Whether he was at work or rested, at the company or at home, walking or driving, her face was always in his line of sight. It was incomparably clear.

And what left the deepest impression on him was her expression when he pushed open the door and entered. At that time, she was lying prone on the ground and suddenly looked back with a shocked expression. Her large black eyes were wide open, and her red lips were slightly opened, revealing a few fine white teeth. It was as if he was an unexpected guest who had suddenly intruded into her world.

In fact, she was the uninvited guest who had intruded into his world.

Lu Haochen stood in front of the big mirror of the cloakroom and buckled up the last button. He raised his hand to look at the time. It was 7:20. He planned to spend ten minutes for breakfast and half an hour for driving on the road. Therefore, he would arrive at the company at eight o’clock. In other words, he would arrive at the company an hour earlier. He did not believe that he would still be unable to see her this time!

The security guard on the night shift was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, yawning. Suddenly, he saw Lu Haochen coming in from the door and walking with great strides toward the elevator. The guard was so scared that he quickly stood up to greet Lu Haochen.

Lu Haochen nodded lightly and walked past him.

Walking out of the elevator, Lu Haochen moved along the corridor to the office. His leather shoes stepped on the smooth floor, making deep and clear sounds in the quiet corridor.

The moment his hand touched the door handle, Lu Haochen wondered if she was lying prone on the ground as she did before when he opened the door. Would she be shocked again? So he deliberately pushed the door open gently.

However, she was not in the room. There was no one. The room was not messy. All the things were placed in place. But he knew that she had not started cleaning because there was still smoke ash in the ashtray.

He was always strict with himself. So when he left, he would habitually put everything in place. But he would not clean up the ashtray. In this case, as long as he glanced at the ashtray, he would know if the office had been cleaned or not.

Then did he come too early? He opened the window and ventilate the room. Outside the window, it was bright and sunny. This city’s climate was as hot as summer all year round. It was common to see the sun every day. So even if the sun was slowly rising, it could not surprise him.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, the door was pushed open. He turned his head and saw Du Xiaoxian standing at the door. Her eyebrows were raised and her big black eyes were wide open. Her pink lips were also slightly open, revealing her white teeth. Her expression was exactly the same as she had that day.

Lu Haochen suddenly felt funny. When he entered the door, he thought that he should not scare her. But he did not expect that she was still scared.

“Good morning.” He looked at her calmly.

“Mr. Lu, you came so early!” Du Xiaoxian seemed a little nervous. “Then do I, I still…” She still remembered what happened last time. Could it be that he was here to prevent her from doing her job?

Before she finished speaking, Lu Haochen understood what she meant. Because she was too simple, he could see through her with a glance!

“Do I hinder you from doing your job?” Lu Haochen said, “Do I need to go out for a while?”

“No, no, no,” Du Xiaoxian hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no. I will finish cleaning soon. You can do your work, please.”

Although her voice was not loud and she pronounced the last sentence softly, Lu Haochen heard them clearly. He said, “I’m not as old as you think. You don’t need to be so polite to me.”

Du Xiaoxian opened her mouth and wanted to explain, “I didn’t mean that. I am…” She did much better now than before. She could speak freely in front of strangers. But in front of this man with a strong aura, she seemed to become a coward again.

“I was joking.” Lu Haochen put out the cigarette and smiled at her. “You can do your job.”

Du Xiaoxian replied with an ‘ok’ and came in with the tools. Then she started to clean the office.

Lu Haochen still stood by the window with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, looking a little loose. He just stared at her without any restraint.

His gaze was too passionate, finally making Du Xiaoxian uneasy. She thought that Lu Haochen was assessing her performance. But how could he stare at her like this?

She also wanted to do it well before him. But she couldn’t stand being watched. Suddenly getting into a panic, she took the mop out of the bucket and mopped the floor without even wringing the water out. When she realized that something was wrong, she quickly corrected it. But she wrung the water on her feet. Her black cloth shoes were drenched.

She looked down at her feet in a daze, and her face suddenly turned red. She kept complaining in her heart that she was clumsy. She thought that it was over. Mr. Lu would definitely think that she was too rash in doing things! Would he fire her?

She hastily used the mop to absorb all the water on the floor. She wanted to finish it quickly and leave. But the more she was flustered, the more chaotic it became. Her wet shoes slipped on the wet floor and she fell down. With a bang, the bucket was also overturned by her. The water in it flowed all over the floor. This time, she was really dumbfounded. She was like a child who had caused a huge disaster. She was so depressed that she almost cried.

A strange emotion suddenly surged in Lu Haochen’s heart. He didn’t think too much about it. He quickly walked over and pulled her up. “Are you alright?”

Du Xiaoxian was so nervous that she could not speak for a while. She just shook her head.

“There is water on the floor. Stand aside so as not to fall down again.” Lu Haochen turned the bucket upright and began to absorb the water from the floor with the mop.

Du Xiaoxian suddenly came to her senses and quickly grabbed the mop in his hand. “Mr. Lu, how can I let you do that? Let me do it!”

“It’s alright.” Lu Haochen looked at her hand on the mop. Her hand was just like her body. It was very small, but the skin was a little rough. It could be seen that she was a regular laborer.

Her fingers were next to his and there was a warm touch. Lu Haochen suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He instinctively released his hand and took a step back.

Seeing him releasing his grip, Du Xiaoxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. But she heard him saying, “Set it aside. Let others do it. Go change into another pair of shoes. Although it is not cold, it is uncomfortable to wear wet shoes.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Du Xiaoxian said, “I will go to the rooftop and dry it later. It will dry soon.” As she spoke, she handled the water on the floor.

Seeing her keeping absorbing the water with the mop and wringing it into the bucket, Lu Haochen suddenly became a little angry, “Don’t do it, get out!”

Du Xiaoxian looked up in shock and saw that Lu Haochen’s face was gloomy and his sharp gaze was directed at her. She was so scared that her body trembled and she hurriedly stammered an apology, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. I, I didn’t mean it. Please don’t, please don’t… Please give me another…”

“Get out!” Looking at her submissive appearance, Lu Haochen was even more furious. He pointed at the door and roared angrily, “Get out!”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t dare to say a word. She turned around and ran. She now believed that Lu Haochen was indeed a strict person. He was more than just strict and was clearly a devil!
