“Would you like to leave first? I can handle things here,” Bai Chenghai suggested. “Hmm.” Coldly finishing the remaining liquor in his glass, Xia Er Xi stood up and left.

“…So sore.” As soon as she closed the door, Qi Xinluo almost immediately took off her three-inch high heels, gently rubbing her aching calves. Her job was not exactly easy, often having to accompany Gao Yizhe throughout the entire department store, inspecting the operational status of various counters.
Suddenly, she turned back and was startled to find a pair of blazing eyes staring unblinkingly at her in the darkness. “Er Xi, is that you?” Her bright eyes narrowed slightly: Qi Xinluo was shocked.

“Just a little,” his hot, thin li
“Rest first, I’ll make you some hot tea.”
“You haven’t answered my question yet,” Xia Er Xi held her tightly like a willful child.
“…I missed you too,” she answered honestly, though the response felt weak and unconvincing, it was an undeniable truth.
Falling in love with him was definitely the biggest mistake of Qi Xin Luo’s life.
“Since you missed me, why didn’t you call me?”
