Ever since Du Xiaoxian had righteously expressed her opinion that day, Lu Haochen really stopped staring at her that way.

The next day, she went to Lu Haochen’s office after she finished cleaning the other places. When she entered the office and found that the big screen was gone, she felt relaxed. It was not that she was afraid of tiring work, but it took too much time to wipe the screen. Staying in the same room with Lu Haochen always gave her a strange feeling.

When Lu Haochen saw her come in, he smiled slightly. She greeted him properly and then began to do the cleaning. When she finished cleaning, it was just time for other employees to start working. Rose came in to consult Lu Haochen about work, while she quietly left with her cleaning tools.

Things went on like this for several days in a row. Du Xiaoxian slowly felt relaxed, and smiles gradually appeared on her face. The relationship between her and Lu Haochen began to become normal and friendly.

Then it was time for Du Niannian’s summer vacation. There was no one at home during the day, and Du Xiaoxian could not take Du Niannian to work at the company. She was worried, and Du Huayue just happened to plan to take Ma Cuicui back to his hometown. He said that he might as well take Du Niannian back to meet the relatives. Of course, Du Niannian was very happy and eager to go.

Afraid of causing trouble for Du Huayue, Du Xiaoxian hesitated. Later, Du Xiaoxian’s second aunt made a phone call personally and insisted that Du Huayue bring Niannian back to see her, because every time they were on the phone, Du Niannian would call her “grandmother” in a sweet tone, which made her miss Du Niannian so much.

Du Xiaoxian had no choice but to agree. It was her first time being apart from her daughter, and she was very reluctant. She took a leave and sent Du Niannian to the train station. When she went back to work, her eyes were red from crying.

Lu Haochen did not see Du Xiaoxian in the morning and felt a little empty in his heart. These days, he had been enduring and wanted to take his time. However, other than Du Xiaoxian’s courteous smile, their relationship did not go any further.

Feeling frustrated, he took the cup to the pantry room to make coffee. This was the fifth time he went there today. Passing by the cleaning room, he pushed the door with his hand, but the door was locked. It seemed that Du Xiaoxian had not come back yet.

After making the coffee, he walked back gloomily. Suddenly, he saw a thin and small figure coming over from the elevator. His heart trembled. It was Du Xiaoxian. She did not see him. She lowered her head and walked over in haste. Lu Haochen walked to her excitedly.

Only when they were very close did Du Xiaoxian realize that there was a person in front of her. She hurriedly stopped her footsteps, but her body leaned forward due to inertia. She instinctively extended her hands forward to balance herself, but she touched something hot and smooth. She was shocked, but she could not retract her hand. The cup of coffee was poured all over the person.

“Sorry, sorry,” Without even raising her head, she quickly apologized.

The man tugged at his drenched shirt and said, “It doesn’t matter.”

This voice was too familiar. Du Xiaoxian looked up in shock and found that it was Lu Haochen. He looked at her and smiled. “What were you thinking about? Why were you so lost in thought?” Suddenly, his gaze turned cold. When he saw that her eyes were red and she looked like she had cried, he frowned. “What’s wrong? What happened to you?”

When Du Xiaoxian saw him frown, she panicked. What should she do? She made a mistake again. Mr. Lu should be furious again, right?

However, the fury she expected did not appear. Lu Haochen only asked her patiently, “What’s wrong with you? Tell me, I can help you.”

She said with a frustrated expression, “Mr. Lu, I stained your clothes.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Lu Haochen tugged at his wet shirt again. “I’m asking about you. What happened to you?”

“Nothing happened to me.”

“You look a little sad.”

“I’m sad because I stained your clothes.”

Lu Haochen suddenly laughed. “What’s there to be sad about? You stained my shirt, and then you shall wash it clean. That’s all!”

“Alright, Mr. Lu, please take it off. I’ll go wash it.”

Lu Haochen shook his head. “I can’t take it off here, right? Come with me.”

Du Xiaoxian was very nervous. Because she was in the wrong, she had no choice but to follow him into the office.

When Lu Haochen entered the door, he immediately took off his shirt and threw it on the chair. Du Xiaoxian did not expect a noble young man to act so casually. She exclaimed in a low voice and immediately covered her eyes with her hands. When Lu Haochen turned his head and saw her, he burst into laughter. His mood suddenly became exceptionally good.

He walked to the bathroom and took a towel to wipe his body. Then, he took a spare white shirt from the wardrobe and put it on. He approached her with light footsteps. “Aren’t you going to put your hands down?”

Du Xiaoxian thought that he should be done dressing, so she put down her hand. Lu Haochen did put the shirt on, but the shirt was not buttoned, revealing a large part of his thick and strong muscles. She was so scared that she cried out. She wanted to raise her hand to cover her eyes, but her hand was grabbed by Lu Haochen. In a moment of desperation, she could only close her eyes tightly.

Lu Haochen laughed mischievously. He slowly buttoned up the shirt and said, “This time, you can really open your eyes.”

However, Du Xiaoxian did not fall for it. She narrowed her eyes and got a glimpse. When she saw that he was decently dressed, she opened her eyes and called out angrily, “Mr. Lu, you!”

Her slightly annoyed face looked really cute, and Lu Haochen stared straight at her.

Du Xiaoxian, however, became more and more ashamed and angry. She shouted, “You’re staring at me like this again!”

She was obviously angry, but in Lu Haochen’s ears, she sounded like a spoiled girl. His heart went as soft as water. His face was full of helplessness, and he raised his hand as if he was surrendering. “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t look at you like that.”

The usually serious man was so childish once he became silly. It made her not know whether to laugh or cry. Du Xiaoxian also felt helpless. She glared at him and was about to leave with the stained shirt.

“Hey,” Lu Haochen stopped her and pointed to the bathroom. “Wash it there. There is laundry detergent in the bathroom.”

Du Xiaoxian carried the shirt to the bathroom. She cleaned the bathroom every morning, so she was very familiar with it. She soaked the shirt in the pool, poured some laundry detergent, and began to wash. Lu Haochen leaned against the door with his arms crossed and said, “Soak it first and then wash it. It will be easier.”

Du Xiaoxian was annoyed that he had teased her, so she did not speak so politely like she usually did. She glanced at him from the mirror. “Mr. Lu, don’t you need to work?”

Lu Haochen said in his heart, “How can I be in the mood to work when you’re not by my side? Do you know that I am almost crazy for you?”

But he knew it was not the right time to talk about this. Du Xiaoxian was like a particularly shy little rabbit. If she got scared and ran away, the loss would outweigh the gain. However, sooner or later, there would be a day when he would personally tell her such heartfelt words!

“Du Xiaoxian,” Lu Haochen rubbed his chin. “Do you want to earn some extra money?”

“Making extra money? Do you have a job to introduce to me?” As soon as Du Xiaoxian heard about earning money, she got interested.

“I heard that you used to be a housekeeper. Is that so?”

“Yes, does someone need a housekeeper?” Du Xiaoxian immediately volunteered herself. “I do things quickly and perfectly. I can do anything. Can you introduce me?”

“But you have a job already. Can you handle two?”

“There will be time after work, and I can also cook.” Du Xiaoxian suddenly blushed. “I just don’t know if the dishes I make will suit their taste.”

“Alright, after work, I’ll take you to have a look. If you have no problem, the job is yours. As for the salary, three thousand yuan a month. What do you think?”

“Three thousand?” Du Xiaoxian’s eyes were wide and round, and her excitement was obvious. “Isn’t it a little too much? It’s more than the money I get paid for my current job!”

“Are you stupid? Who would complain about earning too much money?” Lu Haochen scolded her with a smile, but his heart was very warm. What was happier than watching his beloved woman wash his shirt?

This was also the best chat they had had since they met. Lu Haochen happily took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth. But when he glanced at Du Xiaoxian, he took the cigarette out and casually placed it beside the wall.

“Du Xiaoxian, what did you do during your leave today?”

“I sent my brother back to our hometown.”

Lu Haochen actually knew the answer. He believed that her eyes were red because she could not bear to see her brother leave.

“Your brother has been away, and you are the only one left at home. Are you afraid?”

“No,” As Lu Haochen introduced her a job, Du Xiaoxian, who was less vigilant, said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I grew up alone since I was a child.”

“Growing up alone? Where is your brother?”

Du Xiaoxian smiled and explained, “In fact, he is not my biological brother. He is my neighbor who lived next door. His family takes good care of me, so Brother Ah Yue treats me as his sister.”

A second ago, Lu Haochen was still on cloud nine. The next second, his mood directly fell from heaven to the abyss. His face immediately darkened. “He’s not your biological brother? Then why do you live together?”

“Well, he will move away after getting married.” Du Xiaoxian did not notice that he had changed his tone and continued to respond to him happily.

“He is getting married?”

“Yes, this time, he brings his girlfriend home to let his family meet her.”

Lu Haochen became happy again. “Du Xiaoxian, your brother is going to get married. What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?”

Du Xiaoxian looked at him strangely. Was their relationship so good that he could ask her this kind of question? Moreover, as the president in charge of the entire company, he should be extremely busy with his own work. Why was he in the mood to stand here and ask if she had a boyfriend?

When Lu Haochen saw Du Xiaoxian looking at him with a strange look, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly waved his hand. “You don’t have to answer. I was just saying.”

Du Xiaoxian ignored him and rinsed the shirt. She raised it under the light and muttered, “There shouldn’t be any stains left.”

“Let me see, let me see,” Lu Haochen smiled fawningly as he leaned over to have a look. “Well, no stains. It’s very clean now. I’ll go get the rack and you can hang it here.”

Du Xiaoxian watched him walk briskly to the wardrobe. She smiled and shook her head. Lu Haochen did have a strange temper, but he was not a bad person. He was kind and helpful now, and she had a good impression of him.

So when she left, she smiled and waved at him. “See you, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Haochen also waved at her. He really liked the way to farewell by saying “See you”, which meant they would meet again. They would meet again in the canteen at noon.
