C8 Why Not Come?
Fortunately, the Xiaoluo did not catch up.
Lemengmeng heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking that she would be sharing a room with him later, she scratched her head in annoyance and hid behind the roof.
When she came down, she happened to bump into a few girls who were discussing her in the cafeteria. They were holding the cardboard boxes they needed to use before leaving, and seeing her spitting on the floor without any trace of politeness, they cursed in a low voice, "Xiao San, you're shameless!"
Lemengmeng had never suffered such humiliation in her life before, and her eyes immediately became hot.
"I'm not a mistress!" She rushed over and explained indignantly.
The girl in the middle rolled her eyes at her in disdain: "You are not the mistress, could it be that Wenxiaojie is?"
The Wensilu that was as lofty as a white swan naturally favored the latter.
"The CEO and I are innocent." Lemengmeng felt a mess covering her heart, strangling her to the point she couldn't breath.
"Come on, don't be a whore and set up a memorial archway again. Who in your company doesn't know that? The CEO was just lustful for a moment. When he wakes up, your fate will be even worse than ours! "
"That's right, she's just a toy of the CEO. She really thinks too highly of herself."
"The CEO gave you a necklace that was worth millions, what did she give you?"
Lemengmeng was trembling from head to toe, she finally understood what it meant to be unable to refute anything.
"Here, what are you doing!" A furious roar scared the three girls so much that their bodies trembled, and they hurriedly ran away.
Xiaoluo walked in front of her with messy footsteps, wanting to pull her hand.
From afar, he could see that her face was pale and trembling all over. His heart was filled with anger, and he wanted nothing more than to crush those people who had bullied her into the ground.
Lemengmeng avoided him and retreated a few steps.
"She, they, they told you, what did she say?"
"You were the one who fired them?" The Lemengmeng asked.
Xiaoluo calmly nodded his head: "I, I saw her, they bullied you, bullied you, yes, I am here, no, no one can, bully you."
"But I'm even more confused by what you're doing. What does everyone think I'm doing it with you!" Tears that Lemengmeng had been holding in for a long time rolled down his cheeks.
Xiaoluo was anxious and panicked. She reached out her hands to wipe the tears off her face, but her cold face dodged it.
"Me, us, we were originally …"
"There's nothing between us, I'm just your subordinate. If you continue like this, I'll resign!"
"No, you're not allowed to resign!" The Xiaoluo held her hand without saying a word, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Lemengmeng could not help but soften his heart when he saw her like this. Wensilu said that he had no friends since he was young and that she was the first person he had touched.
If she rejected him, would he be sad and would he never want to be friends again?
The more Lemengmeng wanted to cry, the more she cried.
Xiaoluo pulled her into his embrace and comforted her softly. "Don't, don't cry, I … I was wrong …"
Lemengmeng pushed him away, and with a straight face once more said, "CEO, please have some self-respect."
Xiaoluo looked at her deeply for a long time. On the way back to the office, he did not say a single word.
He did not speak. The Lemengmeng did not speak either, and after he did not have anything to say, she still did not speak.
She wouldn't even look at him, except for the job report.
Xiaoluo felt depressed.
"Wha, why not, ignore me?" he demanded, pressing her against the wall.
Lemengmeng lowered his eyes and did not look at him: "You are my superior, if there is anything you need me to do, I will definitely do it."
"I, I said, no, not this!"
"I don't understand what you mean."
"I, I speak slowly, you, you are impatient, I, I still want, to say."
"I didn't." Lemengmeng subconsciously retorted. She had never been impatient because of him.
Xiaoluo looked deeply into her eyes. After she was sure that she was not lying, he hugged her tightly, "T-then listen to me."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Let me go first."
Feeling her rejection of him, Xiaoluo's mood, which had finally recovered with great difficulty, sank once again.
He didn't know what had gone wrong.
"I-I'm stammering. Y-you hate me?"
He looked at her uncertainly, his eyes eager and struggling.
The Lemengmeng felt his heart ache: "I didn't."
"Then, then why, why not? Do you not like me?"
"I …" Lemengmeng raised his head and looked at him with shining eyes, his heart fiercely twitched, "Whether I like you or not has nothing to do with you stuttering."
"What … what does that have to do with anything?"
Lemengmeng curled his lips but did not say anything.
"You … You just hate me. I'm … I'm stammering …" Xiaoluo lowered his head in disappointment, even his hair drooped down listlessly.
"I didn't. Although you are stuttering, you have money. In addition to money, you also have a high level of IQ, a handsome appearance, tall and straight height, perfect figure …"
"You, you like it, I, I'll give you everything!" He interrupted her in surprise, his eyes shining as he moved closer to her.
When the tip of his nose touched the tip of his nose, Lemengmeng felt his whole body go numb.
"All, I'll give it to you, okay?" He lifted her chin, and the expression in his eyes was uncontrollable.
Xiaoluo smiled, the sea of stars in his eyes rippling.
Lemengmeng was stunned until her lips were pressed down, only then did she come back to her senses.
The moment he opened his mouth, his tongue nimbly jumped in, causing her to feel dizzy and weak all over.
If it was said that Xiaoluo desired her that night due to the effects of medicine and alcohol, then now, he clearly felt that the woman in his embrace had easily aroused his desire.
The freshness and thrill of it made him exhilarated.
Only, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his Meinanji.
Seeing that the person in his arms was gradually becoming clearer, his tongue began to move crazily as if a spell was cast on him.
But the Lemengmeng was already awake, he fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, forcefully pushed him away and frantically tidied up his clothes.
Xiaoluo opened the door gloomily, his cold gaze making the secretary break out in a cold sweat.
"Wenxiaojie invites you to see a movie together tonight."
Trembling, the secretary handed in two tickets.
Xiaoluo slammed the door and threw the movie ticket into the trash.
When he turned around, Lemengmeng was already back in his seat, his fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard.
He glanced at the movie tickets in the trash can and bent down to pick them up.
"I-we're going to the movies."
He put the ticket on her desk.
Lemengmeng stared at the computer screen: "There's a meeting at 3 PM. If you want to go with Wenxiaojie to see a movie, I'll notify the meeting time delay."
"It's us!"
"Sorry CEO, I have to work in the afternoon." Lemengmeng's eyes were still staring at the damned form. Could it be that it was better looking than him?
Didn't she just praise that he was handsome?
Xiaoluo sat on her seat angrily for a while, then took her jacket and left. This time, he actually did not call her along.
Lemengmeng didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed.
In the afternoon, Xiaoluo sent someone to deliver a mobile phone and a movie ticket. Since Lemengmeng was not willing to accept, he sent a copy to everyone in the company, saying that it was a mid-year benefit.
In the end, she could only accept it.
The movie ticket was not the one given by Wensilu.
After getting off work, the Lemengmeng was so conflicted that his head was about to explode.
"Come with me to the office." The chairman's expression was cloudy.
The Lemengmeng followed him fearfully to his office, ready to receive the cheque that the chairman had smashed on his face.
But he just pointed to the potted plants on the ground and said, "Put them all in the pot."
Twenty to thirty pots, how long would that take?
"10,000 yuan for a flower plant, 100,000 yuan for a flowerpot. If it hurts, we will compensate you based on your price."
Lemengmeng's hand that was in the middle of packing the soil trembled, his heart trembling along with it.
A hundred thousand dollars for a palm-sized flowerpot, poverty limited her imagination.
"What kind of flower or pot? If you plant the dogtail grass in this kind of pot, it would be a waste of time to make people laugh."
The Chairman looked down at her condescendingly, causing Lemengmeng's heart to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Lemengmeng threw the movie ticket into the rubbish bin and went to find a barbecue stand to roll the skewers dejectedly.
Just before getting off work, her mother called to tell her that her father's condition had stabilized and that she shouldn't worry.
Lemengmeng asked for a bottle of beer. Due to her father's sudden illness, she had lost the chance to throw the cheque at the president's face to defend her integrity.
"Lemengmeng? It's really you! " Someone suddenly called his name.
Lemengmeng ate a mouthful of chili oil and when he looked up at the people, he did not know how to react.
Xuyan was wearing a white shirt. She looked at the greasy tables and chairs and hesitated for a moment before sitting down opposite of her. "You're blabbering for so many years just to chase me, how long has it been since we last met?"
"That's all because they are fooling around. If they cause trouble for Senior Brother, I'm really sorry." Lemengmeng bit her lips nervously.
Back then, when Xuyan, as an outstanding graduate, went back to school to give a speech, she had coincidentally lost a bet with her roommate and was forced to confess in front of everyone.
After that, he firmly rejected her and even taunted her.
The angry Lemengmeng put down his haughty words on the school forums to catch him, and even wrote a love letter filled with men's tears.
After that, she did not take this to heart at all, but her roommates who were worried that the world would not fall into chaos would use her name to ask around about the Xuyan and encourage her to send her best efforts to block him at the company.
In the end, he made it known to the whole world that the Lemengmeng was chasing after him.
However, Xuyan's attitude was always cold, so after graduation he immediately left S City and did not contact him again.
Now that they had suddenly met, she felt rather guilty.
"Heh, fooling around?" Xuyan's tone suddenly turned cold.
The Lemengmeng smiled awkwardly. Just then, her phone rang, and she quickly got up to pick it up.
"You, do you know that I, I, am waiting for you?"
Xiaoluo's questioning tone surprised her.
Lemengmeng looked down at his watch. It was already 10: 30, and he was still waiting for her at the cinema?
"CEO, go back."
"I, I'm fast, hungry, I'm starving …"
His voice was aggrieved as he complained.
Lemengmeng could not bear to see him like this, his heart softened. "You don't know when to eat when you're hungry?"
"You, Ma, come here right now!"
"Get in the car and I'll take you to dinner." Xuyan suddenly walked to her side, gesturing for her to move forward.
Lemengmeng turned around and looked at her table. The food she ordered hadn't been eaten yet, but the owner had already accepted it.
"My barbecue …"
"The food here is unhygienic. I'll take you to eat." Xuyan opened the door and insisted for her to get in.
"You, who are you with?"
"A friend." Lemengmeng glanced at Xuyan and started to feel irritated.
"No, no!"
"CEO, you …"
Suddenly, a clamor came from the other side of the phone.
"Aiya, what's going on with you? I spilled everything on you to compensate me!"
"Yes, I'm sorry …"
"What's wrong with you stuttering? You don't know how to walk. Tell me, how do you think we should settle this?"
"Mengmeng, you, you …"
Lemengmeng heard the gist of it over the phone and anxiously said, "CEO, give her your phone, I'll tell her."
"No, no more electricity. Y-you, come …"
The call ended.
