Chapter 727 - 708: What are you thinking about, your face is so red
Lou Xi came out of the office to wait for the elevator, which arrived quickly. When it opened, she saw Ji Nanming and Ed inside.
So Ji Nanming also leaves right at the end of the workday.
He noticed that only Lou Xi was waiting for the elevator with her bag, while the lights at the sales department were still on, bustling with energy, which made him a bit curious.
Lou Xi hesitated for a moment before stepping into the elevator. After Ed pressed the close button, the elevator doors shut, isolating them from the outside.
It was quiet inside the elevator; no one spoke.
Lou Xi watched the floor numbers slowly descend and saw that B2 was lit. They were heading to the underground parking lot.
"Why haven’t they left work?" Ji Nanming suddenly asked.
Lou Xi paused, then replied, "It seems they’re staying voluntarily for overtime."
"Why didn’t you stay?"
Lou Xi felt as if she was being stared at intently, as if asking her why everyone else stayed for overtime and why she was the exception.
"I feel that if work can be completed during office hours, there’s no need to stay for overtime." Lou Xi repeated exactly what Qin Mobai had said earlier to Ji Nanming.
But after saying it, Lou Xi regretted it a little, wondering if she had just contradicted her supervisor.
After those words, the elevator fell silent, making Lou Xi’s heart sink. Did she offend her boss on her first day at work?
When the elevator reached the first floor, Lou Xi had to leave. She turned back to say goodbye to Ji Nanming before exiting the elevator.
After leaving the office, Lou Xi saw Qin Mobai parked on the other side of the road. Seeing no cars, she crossed the street.
She got in, buckled up, and Qin Mobai started the car and drove off.
"Was your first day at work tiring?" Qin Mobai asked. "I bought you a red velvet cake, have some first."
Lou Xi saw the red velvet cake on the back seat, turned around, and brought the box to the front. She was indeed starving.
After wolfing down a few bites, she felt her stomach come back to life.
"It really was a bit tiring."
"If you’re tired, you shouldn’t go."
"No way!" Lou Xi immediately refused, sensing that Qin Mobai was intent on getting her to go home and rest. "At work today, I encountered..."
Lou Xi chattered on about her day at work to Qin Mobai, including the matters with Mai Zi and Cheng Xiao.
After listening, Qin Mobai advised Lou Xi, "Stay away from that Mai Zi."
"Huh? Why? You haven’t even met her yet. She’s quite amusing!"
Qin Mobai simply said, "People’s hearts are hidden; you must know that in this world, the only person who truly cares for you is me."
Lou Xi thought Qin Mobai made a good point — people’s hearts are hidden. Only Qin Mobai, with whom she shares her life, would put her matters first.
"I know you’re the best for me in this world!" Lou Xi said contentedly.
Qin Mobai’s lips curved slightly, "Yes, so remember to thank me properly."
Suddenly, Lou Xi’s cheeks reddened, and she couldn’t think straight about what Qin Mobai meant by "thank me properly."
Qin Mobai saw Lou Xi’s slightly flushed cheeks in the rearview mirror and teased, "What’s on your mind, making your face so red?"
As if her thoughts were seen through, Lou Xi turned her face away while sitting in the passenger seat, ignoring Qin Mobai’s teasing.
In fact, ever since Lou Xi lost the baby, and with Qin Mobai being injured earlier, it had been a long time since the two of them had done that.
Suddenly bringing it up today, could Lou Xi not blush?
