Before Li Xue could ask more, her phone beeped with a text, and excusing herself for a bit, she took her phone out to check.
While at the front, Su Fai's expression changed drastically. With his look, it felt like a protected secret that shouldn't have come out to others was suddenly discovered. For a moment he felt his nerves going numb.
But still composing himself back in his usual attitude, he asked, trying his best to be calm. He felt like it was his luck that Li Xue couldn't notice his face losing its confidence like that.
"About me and Lin Xinyi? What could there be between us?" He said half breaking in a smile that seemed nonchalant but lacked the honesty.
Li Xue looked up at him and noticed it well. Her brows got raised slightly but she didn't make it too evident. "When did I say that there is something between you two?" She tugged her brows in perplexion.
And seeing her like that the man was wordless. "…"
"I was asking why are you looking so tired? Are you not having proper rest? And what happened to Sister Xinyi? Why is she not feeling well? Is there something serious?" Li Xue explained and her explanation brought some relief to the man.
Taking a deep breath in, he sighed a bit internally before giving an 'oh'.
"So, what is it?" Li Xue asked again and shaking his head, Su Fai denied up very upfront.
"There is nothing."
"Huh?"
"I mean I am fine. Just here-and-there stress. I will be better soon. As for Lin Xinyi, she is just a little bit weak. She will also be fine soon and once she is fine; she will be back at work. Till she comes we just have to take care of the things ourselves. It's nothing too tough, right?" Su Fai said, Li Xue just stared at him like she has spotted something very unusual.
Her gaze like that made Su Fai uneased. "What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.
Li Xue shook her head with some meaning. "I could handle things on her behalf since she is my manager. Why are you including yourself on that list? You are our CEO and in no way related to her directly. So, of course, it won't be a problem for you."
"Haha … what are you saying, Li Xue? She is my employee as well. So, I care for her. Nothing else" Su Fai explained without any need and that simple explanation revealed something that he was trying to hide behind.
Li Xue nodded. "I understand. CEO Su is really a caring employer." She said, pressing a smile at the front that was enough for the situation. "Anyway, I understood my work for now. I will take my leave first as I suddenly plan to go somewhere" She added before getting up from the chair to leave.
Su Fai nodded and smiled in reciprocation. "Sure! Take your time to read the details and let me know." He said and Li Xue hummed in response, before finally turning to leave.
But just when she was about to reach the door of the cabin, something struck Su Fai as calling from behind he asked, "By the way, Li Xue, where are you going now?"
"To visit Sister Xinyi at her place!" Casually turning a bit, the woman replied with obviousness. "She is sick so it's only right for me to visit her and ask her about her health. She might need someone or something in the situation. And also, I have things to …"
"You don't have to go there. She is …" Before Li Xue could even complete her words, Su Fai shot up from his chair to change her plans. But his words paused midway when saw the woman turning around to give a raise to her brows.
"Why? Do you have any problem with me visiting her?" She asked.
Su Fai shook his head. "Nope, it's not that. It was just that your visit would be unnecessary."
Li Xue's arms went to get folded over her chest. "My visit to her … how did it become your concern? Furthermore, you are getting so much involved in other women's concerns, don't you feel that the woman you have in your heart might feel bad about it. It's okay that you are looking after me since it's both for the friendship we have and the job that you do. But including Sister Xinyi in it may raise one's suspicion."
"Li Xue, what are you saying?" Su Fai felt embarrassed. But there was nothing he could do to retort.
"What I am saying is simple. I said I am visiting Sister Xinyi. Kindly excuse me first." Li Xue said nonchalantly in a polite tone before giving a slight bow to leave again.
Behind, Su Fai could stop her no longer. If he said even a word more, he feared that there would remain nothing to hide. Not just the care he had started to have for Xinyi, but also the things that he felt like was right to keep away from Li Xue.
Now he could just hope that visit of Li Xue doesn't unfold too many things.
While at the same time, soon after leaving the company building, Li Xue walked to the parking area where her car was parked. Du Fan was waiting for her at the place.
"Madam, you are here." He greeted seeing her there. And Li Xue nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, it's all done inside. Were you able to meet MengMeng?" She asked, not forgetting that she hadn't seen her in the company.
Du Fan shook his head. "No, Madam. When I asked the reception desk, they said that she has gone out for some work and there is still time in her return."
Li Xue nodded. No doubt even after being inside for so much time, she has not seen the bird coming to chirp near her. Seems like she wasn't there.
"It's okay, Madam. I can apologize to her the next day. Do you have somewhere to go from here?"
Li Xue nodded. "Yes, Mr. Driver. Can you please drive me to visit my manager, Sister Xinyi's house?"
Du Fan radiantly nodded. The lady just has to order him, and he has no option to reject. And here she was asking all politely, how could he reject her words. "Yes, Madam. Please get inside the car." He said before pulling the door open for the lady.
Li Xue smiled, before getting inside the car to leave.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
