Chapter 63

The Wai Shi Building and the IO Building are not far away, and it takes ten minutes to drive. After Huai Jing became the chairman of the Wai Shi Building, his office moved to the Wai Shi Building. After all, the IO Group was built by him, and he handed over to a director on the united front with him.

But his office was still preserved, and the lunch of Huaijing and Xu Xingkong was settled in his former office.

Huaijing's office is half a home, with all the office spaces, as well as a lounge and a restaurant. The restaurant is not big, with a dining table covered with warm sunlight, the tabletop is clean and tidy, and two bundles of lilies are inserted into the white porcelain bottle.

This is a small restaurant with only two chairs beside the dining table, and half of the bookshelf and a sofa, which looks very private.

The food made by He Ma was placed on the round dining table, with two fish dishes. Huaijing pulled open the chair and let Xu Xingkong sit down.

After working hard all morning, Xu Xingkong was also hungry. She took the rice and started eating, looking at Huaijing while eating.

The man sat opposite him, holding chopsticks with his slender fingers. He sat on the other side of the window. The sunlight cut his hand open. The back of his hand was the cool white under the shadow, and the bright white under the sunlight, as if it was shining through the sunlight, and it was transparent and flooded.

He didn't change his clothes, and he was still wearing a suit. Under his long and thick eyelashes, his light brown eyes were as clear and transparent as glass beads. He held the chopsticks and slowly treated the fish thorns on his hands, as if he was used to this action, and he handled it very quickly.

After processing, put the fish into Xu Xingkong's bowl and put the processed fish bones aside.

When he grabbed the fish, Huaijing looked up at Xu Xingkong and asked, "Don't you like me to go to the office to find you?"

From the translation department to the office, Xu Xingkong has been silent and silent, and his face is full of worries.

As soon as the topic was opened, Xu Xingkong stuffed the fish into his mouth as if he had been seen through. After taking a bite, he shook his head. She swallowed the fish without fish bones and said her thoughts.

"I'm afraid that everyone will be afraid of me in the future."

The disparity in identity will create a sense of estrangement. In the future, colleagues may not be as comfortable as before when they are with her. She does not want to make the atmosphere in the entire office stiff because of herself. She does not want to be so stressed by everyone when she is in the office, which will cause trouble for them who work normally.

The small restaurant was sunny, making people feel a little floating. Huaijing raised his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Xingkong sitting opposite him, and said, "You care about them and are afraid of you, why don't you care about me, and I'm afraid of you running away?"

After biting the fish's teeth, Xu Xingkong looked up at the man picking the fish bones, and met his gaze. Xu Xingkong's head tilted, his lips curled up and said, "Are you afraid I won't admit that you are my boyfriend?"

The movements in his hands were not stopped, and Huaijing's expression did not change, so he denied.

"No."

"Then why are you looking for me today?" Xu Xingkong seemed to have stole a fishy kitten, and his round eyes were flashing with a hint of cunning.

On the round table, lilies seemed to be overshadowed by the scent of fish, with a faint and refreshing feeling.

Huaijing met her gaze, raised her eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It is natural for me to go and have lunch with my girlfriend."

The empty small restaurant seemed to be blew by the cool breeze, shaking her hair and scratching her cheeks, making her heart itchy. Xu Xingkong smiled and said softly: "I don't believe it."

After Xu Xingkong returned to the office, the office was as busy as before. Everyone seemed to have digested the scene that happened in the morning. For Xu Xingkong, the only change was that the documents piled up on the table were gone.

As soon as she sat down, Chen Wanwan took the documents and sat on her desk as usual, threw the documents away, took them and placed them on her desk, and said, "Translation for me."

"Yes, Vice Minister Chen." Xu Xingkong took it with a smile.

Seeing Xu Xingkong in a good mood, it seemed that he had a sweet lunch in love. I didn’t notice it when I was with Xu Xingkong before, but it turned out that a woman was so radiant after falling in love.

Chen Wanwan smiled, held her cheek and glanced at the dark head in the office, and said, "Everyone is afraid of you now."

I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. Everyone will know about her relationship with Huaijing sooner or later. The way she can think of is to do her job well.

Looking up at Chen Wanwan, Xu Xingkong asked with a smile: "Are you afraid?"

It seemed that after hearing a huge joke, looking at the little sheep-like friend in front of him, Chen Wanwan patted her chest and said, "Just kidding, who have I, Chen Wanwan, been afraid of since I was a child?"

Thinking of Chen Wanwan's restrained look when they came back from Huaicheng to pick up Mimi, Xu Xingkong smiled and said, "You are afraid of loving Jing."

After being exposed by Xu Xingkong for a second, Chen Wanwan refused to admit it. After pushing her, she said, "I'm not afraid of you or I, why are you afraid of your boyfriend?"

The name of boyfriend made Xu Xingkong feel sweet. She felt relieved, lowered her head and opened the file and said, "That's good, I'm still afraid of you and him."

"Not afraid." Chen Wanwan confirmed and got up and left.

When she turned around, Xu Xingkong stopped her and said, "Let's have a meal together on Saturday, and take Lao Zhan and Kang Kang to get to know each other for the official."

Chen Wanwan stepped out and almost sprained. She turned around and looked at Xu Xingkong, kicked her big copper bell-like eyes and asked, "Who do you know?"

"My boyfriend." Xu Xingkong said.

The reason why Xu Xingkong wanted to invite Chen Wanwan and the others to have dinner was also for Huaijing. She never thought that Huaijing was so insecure with her.

In the eyes of outsiders, others are afraid that Huaijing doesn’t want her. Only in the eyes of Huaijing, he is afraid that she will run away.

Thinking of this, there was a gust of wind blowing in Xu Xingkong's heart, warm, soft and safe.

Chen Wanwan didn't answer. Xu Xingkong looked at her and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"

"I may have diarrhea on Saturday," Chen Wanwan said.

Xu Xingkong smiled and said, "Then it's Zhou Tian."

"I have a cold in Zhou Tian." Chen Wanwan said.

Amused by Chen Wanwan, Xu Xingkong turned the pen in her hand, and once and for a while, she looked at Chen Wanwan, with bright water in her round eyes.

"We will be together all the time. Do you have to hide for the rest of your life?"

Xu Xingkong's words made Chen Wanwan feel a little hairy. She is so inferior, but now she has talked about how much security Huaijing has given her for the rest of her life.

Chen Wanwan was no longer naughty and looked at Xu Xingkong with a smile and said, "Okay, Saturday, please choose a more expensive place."

After Huaijing appeared in the translation department last time, not only IO, but the entire Huai family knew that their boss’s girlfriend is now working as a translator in the translation department of the group under Huai family.

Although everyone knows it, but I can't get in touch with it, Xu Xingkong's life in the translation department has not changed much.

She didn't have much contact with people in the office. Most of her appearances with Yan Jialin. After Yan Jialin knew about her relationship with Huaijing, she did not experience much emotional ups and downs. She was no different from before.

Xu Xingkong was very grateful for this.

Because in her opinion, Yan Jialin is not only her leader, but also her leader in the workplace. She can treat her like before, and she can be more comfortable in studying and working. This is very helpful to her.

Having said that, Xu Xingkong always felt that Yan Jialin knew her relationship with Huaijing. She was Sophia's friend, and Sophia was Huaijing's assistant, so she should be able to see some clues.

This idea was confirmed when she was sitting in Yan Jialin's car and listening to the new emotional broadcast today. I still remember that Yan Jialin pointed her in ambiguously. But she was simple at the time and didn't think about this.

Yan Jialin was on a business trip for half a week, and Xu Xingkong took leave during this period, so she explained a lot of things until she got in the car.

The sky outside is blue and white, the woman's jawline is tight, her delicate makeup, dazzling red lips, and wearing a pair of sunglasses. She is still cold and delicate, but she feels friendly.

"Did you remember?" The car stopped at the traffic light intersection, and Yan Jialin glanced at Xu Xingkong indifferently.

On the co-pilot, Xu Xingkong was marking the document, and the pen tip was outlined, clearly. When he heard her question, Xu Xingkong had the last point, and looked up at Yan Jialin and said, "I have written it down."

"Yeah." Yan Jialin's expression did not change and she looked back at the traffic light at the intersection.

All the explanations were completed, and the atmosphere in the car fell silent again. The red light at this intersection was very long, and there were more than ninety seconds left.

While Xu Xingkong was flipping through the documents, Yan Jialin, who had always been taciturn, started chatting with her.

"Although you are my boss's wife, I am your boss, and what will happen to your daily work?" The woman's voice was clear and her tone was cold.

Looking up from the document, Xu Xingkong smiled and said, "It should be."

Since Yan Jialin started, Xu Xingkong simply closed the document and asked: "When did you know about Mr. Huai and me?"

Regarding Xu Xingkong's question, Yan Jialin's expression did not change much. Her eyes behind her sunglasses looked directly at the traffic light in front of her and replied: "When Leo knew, Sophia and I knew. But we knew that Mr. Huai liked you, it was Christmas. Sophia was called out by Mr. Huai in the middle of the night and said she wanted to buy a house. Sophia stared at the master who was a house for the middle of the night, and I went to accompany her daughter."

Thinking of last Christmas, when Xu Xingkong woke up, the monk was ready. She thought Huaijing had prepared in advance, but she didn't expect that Sophia was staring at the master in the middle of the night.

Did Huaijing like her at that time?

Yan Jialin did not look at Xu Xingkong, she continued: "After Christmas, Sophia and I made a bet."

"Ah?" Xu Xingkong was stunned and asked, "What bet?"

"Betting on whether you two will be together in the end."

Xu Xingkong: “…”

"Sophia doesn't bet, but I can bet." Speaking of this, Yan Jialin raised her eyes slightly and said, "I have been working with you for a while. You have good personality and work ability in all aspects. It is impossible for Mr. Huai to dislike you."

Although this bet made her a little confused, she never expected that she would have such a high evaluation in Yan Jialin's heart. Xu Xingkong was a little flattered, her face turned slightly red and she said, "Thank you."

"I should thank you." Yan Jialin said, "We both have bet so many times, this is my first time winning."

Xu Xingkong raised his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong." Yan Jialin explained, "Huai is always a very self-disciplined person. After he came to IO, there was no woman around him. Sophia and I were playing other bets."

The intersection just turned red and green, Yan Jialin started the car. Xu Xingkong looked at the traffic flowing outside the car window and remembered the first time she and Huaijing had in 2024.

She was trembling with tension, and he was like a fish in water.

She thought he was a slut, but she didn't expect that she didn't even have a woman.

Xu Xingkong leaned halfway against the car window, and the sun made her squint slightly.

"Sister Jialin, can I be friends with you?"

Driving the car, Yan Jialin's gaze from behind her sunglasses glanced gently towards Xu Xingkong. She withdrew her gaze, her expression still cold.

"I have always regarded you as a friend, otherwise I wouldn't have told you this today."

Xu Xingkong was slightly stunned.

Yan Jialin came back from a business trip and saved some work. Xu Xingkong was indeed not treated differently. The two worked overtime until very late. Huaijing picked her up and went home. After dinner, Xu Xingkong took a shower and was about to fall asleep with her pillow in her arms.

After Huaijing took a shower, when he came out, Xu Xingkong had already narrowed his eyes. The night was like water, and the woman was like a quiet water lily.
