Du Xiaoxian did not tell anyone about what Lu Haochen had done to her. Firstly, Lu Haochen did not hurt her. Secondly, she was a silent person and was not used to pouring out her feelings. She did not even tell Du Huayue about it.

However, when she went to work the next day, she always felt a little frightened. She walked to Lu Haochen’s door with tools and hesitated for a while. Then she turned to leave. She knew that Lu Haochen was inside because he arrived earlier than her every day.

Lu Haochen stared at the watch on his wrist. Du Xiaoxian arrived on time every day. He had already heard her footsteps, but she stopped at the door and did not come in. His heart was pounding. He held his breath and waited. But soon, the footsteps sounded again but got quicker. In an instant, the sound disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment. Then he jumped up and rushed to open the door. He didn’t see her in the corridor.

She was still angry. She was definitely still angry! Because of this, he did not sleep well last night. He tossed and turned, trying to find a way to dispel Du Xiaoxian’s hostility towards him. She must have thought that he was a heinous playboy and thought that he was harassing her!

But he was not. There were many women around him, but he was interested in no one other than her. Ever since he was a child, he had only been fascinated by her. Every day, he racked his brains to think about how to be with her. He was cautious about everything, but he still scared her.

Looking at the empty corridor, he pulled his hair in frustration and silently returned to his office. Without her, he didn’t feel good. His heart was empty. He had been used to her company. When she was not here, he felt that his backbone had been taken away. He did not know what to do.

He sat down lazily and opened the drawer. He took out the file bag that Huang Yali had handed over and found Du Xiaoxian’s profile. Her photo was pasted on her resume. She had a faint smile and clear eyes. He stared at her for a long time before he finally moved his eyes away.

Her actual age was much older than he had imagined. She was already 23 years old. Then he saw Du Huayue’s name in the Family Member column. They were siblings, but they did not look like each other at all. Perhaps one looked like their father while the other looked like their mother.

She wrote about her job in a housekeeping company, which was several years ago, in the Work Experience column. Her salary requirements were not high. The Specialty column was filled with “Drawing”.

Did she draw? It wasn’t obvious to him. Lu Haochen touched his chin. He thought if she wrote “Drawing” in the Specialty column, she must be good at it.

Then Lu Haochen took out Du Huayue’s profile. He had been a soldier and a security guard before. So he could do a security job in the company with ease. Moreover, his performance was very good. He had been here for more than 3 years and had just been promoted to vice-captain.

The Family column was filled with the names of his parents and brother and their phone numbers, but there was no name of Du Xiaoxian. This made Lu Haochen confused. However, the Emergency Contact column was filled with Du Xiaoxian’s name and her cell phone number.

To Lu Haochen, none of those things mattered. He only cared about Du Xiaoxian’s marriage status. The column was filled with “Unmarried”. This was the most important thing.

As long as she was single, he could pursue her. What if she was not single? He had asked himself this question in his heart before. His answer was snatching her from her boyfriend! He had always toed the line and had never gone against his conscience and morals. But he did not mind occasionally doing something out of line.

He had waited for a long and boring time, and his patience was being worn out bit by bit. In the end, he went out to look for her.

He didn’t see her in the conference room. But the floor was wet, indicating that she had been here and had completed the work here. The door of the cleaning room was left unlocked. He walked in and didn’t see her inside. He came out again and stopped at the door of the bathroom. It was quiet inside. Was she there?

The more he couldn’t see her, the more he missed her. He felt as if there was a little bug crawling in his heart. It was so itchy. He strode into the female bathroom, but he didn’t see her there too. Where could she be?

When he was waiting for her, he drank a cup of tea. Now, he wanted to pee and just happened to be at the entrance of the male bathroom. So he strolled in. When he stood before a urinal and began to unbuckle his belt, he suddenly heard the sound of the toilet flushing. He was stunned for a moment. Who came to the bathroom so early? Was it a security guard?

He didn’t pay any more attention to it and his hands didn’t stop either. When he started to pee, he heard someone calling out in a low and fast voice. Then there was a burst of noisy and rapid footsteps. It seemed that someone ran away in panic.

Lu Haochen’s entire body was stiff. This was the first time in his life that his face had turned red from embarrassment. He knew it was her voice. It turned out that Du Xiaoxian was in the male bathroom. No wonder he could not find her.

But in an instant, he became angry. How could she clean the male bathroom? What if the one she ran into was not him? Just thinking about it made him flare up. Who arranged this damn errand?

After going to the toilet, he washed his hands and looked at himself in the mirror, lost in thought. Their relationship was already a little stiff, but now it was even worse. Not only was Du Xiaoxian afraid of him, but he was also a little embarrassed to see Du Xiaoxian.

He slowly walked out. The door of the cleaning room was closed. He gently turned the handle of the door. It was not locked. Then he went in. However, Du Xiaoxian was not inside. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God. It was good that he did not see her. Otherwise, both of them would feel awkward.

However, God had intentionally played tricks on him. When he wanted to see her, he couldn’t find her. But when he didn’t want to see her, she was right in front of him. As he pushed open the office door, he found she was inside and was doing cleaning seriously. Hearing the door being pushed open, she straightened up and looked at him warily. Lu Haochen had closed the door. But when he saw her clear eyes staring at him, he could not help but open it again.

He clearly saw that Du Xiaoxian’s expression relaxed after this action. She lowered her head to start cleaning again.

Lu Haochen pretended to be calm and coughed. Then he walked to the desk, collected the documents scattered there, and sent them back into the drawer.

The window was half-open. As the morning wind poured in, a piece of paper on the table was blown to the floor. He walked over and bent to pick it up. He coughed again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Even with his composure, he was a little uneasy.

He held the piece of paper and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, “Du Xiaoxian, is your hand better?”

“It’s better now,” Du Xiaoxian answered without looking up at him.

When he took two steps towards her, she immediately took two steps back, held the mop horizontally in front of her, and looked at him vigilantly.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you so afraid of me? I’m not a bad person!”

“A bad guy would not say they were bad. If you weren’t a bad guy, why would you always stare at me like that?” Du Xiaoxian thought in her heart and didn’t say it out.

“Tell me, why are you so afraid of me?” Lu Haochen was afraid of scaring her, so he could only stand still.

Du Xiaoxian’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lu Haochen softened his voice and encouraged her. “Don’t be afraid. If you have anything to say, just say it. Maybe I have done something wrong. Just tell me what it is.”

“You… stared at me like that!” Du Xiaoxian blushed and said softly.

“I stared at you because,” Lu Haochen took a deep breath and said seriously, “Because you looked charming.”

“Even if I look charming, you can’t do that.” Du Xiaoxian said, “You look charming too, but I didn’t stare at you.”

Lu Haochen was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he was elated. The corners of his mouth curled up as if he was bathing in the spring breeze. “Do you think I look charming?”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and said, “Mr. Lu, don’t stare at people like that in the future. It is impolite and embarrassing.” She had a didactic tone, but in Lu Haochen’s ears, it was like the sound of nature.

“Well, I won’t stare at you like that in the future,” Lu Haochen said as he took another step forward. “As compensation, I will help you.”

“No need,” Du Xiaoxian took a step back. It seemed that Lu Haochen didn’t want to stop! She turned serious. “Mr. Lu, you will burden me if you do this. I work to get my salary. If you do it for me, what should I do?”

Lu Haochen only felt a headache. He had both hinted and explicitly stated his goodwill toward her many times. Why did Du Xiaoxian not understand it at all? His charming face alone could make all women go crazy for him, not to mention his prestigious family background. Why did Du Xiaoxian always act as if she did not like him?

As a boss, he had already expressed his goodwill so explicitly. The smart people would know what he meant when they heard it. Did Du Xiaoxian not understand it, or did she not care about it?

“Okay, I won’t do it. You do it,” He helplessly surrendered. “I’m just worried about your hand. If it is exposed to water, then…”

“It’s fine,” Du Xiaoxian showed her hand to him. “When I came this morning, I applied a new hemostatic sticker on it.”

“That’s good, that’s good,” Facing Du Xiaoxian, who was full of vigilance, Lu Haochen had no choice but to return to his seat dejectedly.

Not long after, it was office hours. Du Xiaoxian had already finished cleaning except the screen. In fact, it had just been cleaned yesterday and was not dirty. But she still wiped it meticulously, not missing any narrow gaps.

Lu Haochen was listening to the reports from two department managers. He pretended to look ahead as if he was listening carefully. In fact, he was looking at Du Xiaoxian. Seeing that it was the second time she had stopped to rub her sore arm, he finally could not help but say, “Alright, stop there today.”

The two department managers were at a loss for what to do. They had only reported to him halfway through. Why did he ask them to leave?

However, since the boss gave that instruction, they had to obey it. Then they closed the folder and were about to stand up and leave. But Lu Haochen frowned. “Why do you stop?”

The two managers who had just stood up sat down again. They opened the folder and continued the report. Just as they started, Lu Haochen ordered again, “Stop. Go rest for a while.”

Only then did the two managers realize that Lu Haochen was not looking at them. When they turned their heads, they understood that he was talking to the cleaner.

Although Du Xiaoxian had worked upstairs for a few days, she did not leave a deep impression on everyone as she always lowered her head. Many people did not look at her. A manager could not help but say, “This must be a newcomer. I’ve never seen her before.”

The other laughed. “She is quite beautiful. The male colleagues upstairs will be happy!”

Lu Haochen originally had an indifferent expression. But suddenly, his face turned serious. “Is this what I asked you to discuss during working hours? Do I pay you to enjoy this kind of happiness? If I hear such words next time, I will directly deduct your bonus from your monthly salary!”

After this scolding, the two managers blushed and lowered their heads like primary school students. They were all senior employees in the company and were very familiar with Lu Haochen. They could usually joke around and Lu Haochen would even laugh along with them. But what happened to him today? Why did he become furious all of a sudden?
