Chapter 1203 - 1202: Soup Dumplings
After Xu Ke put on the clothes, he found that it really complemented his skin tone. And wearing it, because he naturally exudes a masculine aura, it didn’t have that girlish feel.
So, he could only resign himself to opening the door and standing out, and just at this moment, Xiao Keyi, who was fantasizing, immediately stood up upon hearing the door and looked at Xu Ke standing there with stars in her eyes.
"See? I told you my taste is never wrong, yet you didn’t believe me. This outfit suits you perfectly, it’s like it was tailor-made for you. Go change into the white or black one now, but package this pink one immediately! Make sure to wear it to the party tomorrow evening."
After Xiao Keyi finished speaking, Xu Ke went back in, and this time Xiao Keyi searched for a long time until she finally found a small girl’s bow tie beside a wardrobe, and it was pink too.
Xu Ke ultimately wore the black one, while Xiao Keyi packed up the white one for him. Upon leaving, Yang Shi kept staring at Xiao Keyi, curious about the outfit Xiao Keyi had selected.
Xiao Keyi casually replied, "Alright, alright, Godmother, don’t ask now. You’ll find out by tomorrow. At the party our Xiao Group is attending, there will certainly be plenty of photos, then you can take a good look at them. But now, I can’t tell you, or there’ll be no surprise."
After speaking, Xiao Keyi dragged Xu Ke out like they were escaping.
Feeling particularly good, she carried her bag in hand, still wearing her white dress though she had slightly changed her hair.
"Alright, let’s end it here for today, see you tomorrow night. Remember to wait for me tomorrow night, and don’t find a female companion. If I find out, I’ll definitely punish you."
Fearful of her thoughts being exposed, Xiao Keyi added, "After all, the party tomorrow is about anime and gaming, so no female companions. We need to seriously discuss business."
Xu Ke looked at Xiao Keyi, thinking she must be going tomorrow; otherwise, why wouldn’t she let him find a female companion? This girl sure is stubborn.
"Alright, got it, head home. And remember to be careful on your way."
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s reminder, Xiao Keyi smiled even more joyfully, waved her hand, "Okay, I’ll leave now. You should head home early too."
Watching as Xiao Keyi waited for the driver to pull up the car, Xu Ke finally carried the clothes and walked slowly towards his rented house.
After listening to Yang Shi’s advice today, he wonders if he has feelings for this Xiao Keyi girl. Initially came to Xiao Group to see what his fiancée looked like, but ended up with his fiancée becoming a colleague and needing to foster these feelings anew.
Xu Ke originally thought he could meet Xiao Keyi at night, but unexpectedly, the next day, right after getting off the bus and entering the company, he found Xiao Keyi waiting at the reception as if expecting someone.
Xu Ke planned to walk past her and go, yet sharp-eyed Xiao Keyi spotted him and walked directly over to him.
"Hey, what are you doing? Didn’t you see I’m waiting for you? Why do you try to run when you see me?"
Hearing this, and with everyone around looking this way, Xu Ke helplessly walked back over, while Xiao Keyi, like an angry young lady, puffed her cheeks and hugged her arms, looking very upset and raising her head to look at Xu Ke.
Xiao Keyi thought carefully, worried her makeup might be inappropriate when she left home today, so she deliberately put on beautiful makeup.
But unexpectedly, this person still dares to run—how excessive! Has her allure really disappeared? Even when abroad on the streets of Paris, people chased after her asking for her WeChat. Yet, in this small place, she keeps getting stood up.
"I just forgot something, you know? I’m going to buy breakfast now, maybe you could sit in the office for a bit?"
Xu Ke quickly came up with an excuse, unaware that Xiao Keyi would extend her hand with a wide smile.
"I knew you wouldn’t have eaten breakfast, so when I came over, I made a special trip to that famous bun shop and got the tastiest soup dumplings. Come on, let’s eat buns together in the office."
Xu Ke: "..."
Now, even if he wants to find excuses, he can’t, this young lady is quite persistent.
While following Xiao Keyi inside, as they walked, Xiao Keyi suddenly spun around, her nose bumping directly into Xu Ke’s firm chest, bringing tears to her eyes.
"I said..."
Before Xiao Keyi could finish speaking, she felt a hand drop onto her head, followed by Xu Ke’s gentle voice, "I know it hurt again, but this time you accidentally bumped into me on your own. This isn’t my fault, you know."
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Xiao Keyi’s anger finally subsided, but it was truly painful. She gently rubbed her nose tip while speaking to the company staff, "This branch should be managed as before, with Xu Ke still as the president here. If you make any mistakes, you’ll definitely be punished, so don’t think that just because Xu Ke leaves for a day, the rules will be relaxed."
During these days away, the company was almost in chaos, and yesterday many people didn’t show up to work, thinking about it.
Xiao Keyi had no choice but to strike fear into them, while those listening internally wailed, watching the two get on the elevator, they gathered together at once.
"Oh no, did you hear that? They seem to be coming, and it’s still the same old rules. Our skipping work yesterday won’t be discovered, will it? If they find out, I’ll regret it to death. Why did I skip work yesterday? It’s all your fault, Xiaoli. If not for you, I wouldn’t have skipped work yesterday."
The employee named Xiaoli, hearing the blame from her colleague, glared at him, "Is it my fault? I really had things to do yesterday, plus I asked for leave from our department leader. Whether you asked for leave isn’t something I can control. You should’ve been more careful. Besides, skipping work is a serious offense, work hard today."
There were many people skipping work yesterday, so everyone internally wailed, even some team leaders skipped work. Today, everyone worked remarkably hard, fearing they might suddenly be called to the office.
After arriving at the office, as soon as Xu Ke switched on the computer, he saw on his desk a portion of soup dumplings, while Xiao Keyi had already happily started eating breakfast.
