C10 Reject Me?

"Alright!"

It was already three in the afternoon. The afternoon sun was high in the sky, but the company's dining hall was already closed. The two walked out, finding only a café and ordering afternoon tea and dessert during this awkward time.

After gnawing on a bag of hard bread in the afternoon, Mu Yao was really hungry and started wolfing down his dessert.

Liang Zhuo Qian, who had also 'missed lunch', did not look that hungry … The corner of his mouth carried a smile as he watched Mu Yao's movements with a gentle gaze. His hand was only drinking tea at a leisurely pace and his snack had never been touched.

"Why didn't you have lunch?" Swallowing a gap in the egg tart, Mu Yao spoke with a slurred voice, "You should be very busy today with the people from the Ministry of Justice and Creativity, right?"

He's the treasurer, what's he busy with?

"I'm in the upper echelon. They're all busy." Liang Zhuo shrugged his shoulders helplessly and gave a general answer. Seeing that she was eating happily with her head down, he simply handed her his plate of mousse cake.

"Thank you!" Mu Yao happily accepted.

Liang Zhuo Qian did not withdraw his hand, but his arm seemed to be resting on the table instead. He leaned his body forward slightly and asked casually: "I have a reunion with a friend over the weekend. Are you free to come with me?"

"No!" Mu Yao, who was focused on eating, didn't even think about refusing. She just blurted it out and suddenly felt that it was too straightforward. "What I mean is …" "Next, I'll have to follow up on the SL and company's cooperation. I'm afraid I won't be able to go …"

She smiled dryly as she muttered an explanation. Her gaze collided with Liang Zhuo Qian's, clearly catching the disappointment in his eyes. Thus, Mu Yao suggested …

"You can call your other colleagues!" "For example, Weiwei, there's a gathering to have fun with. She should …"

"I'm not looking for a colleague." Liang Zhuo Qian suddenly interrupted her. "The woman I want to take with me is not someone who can easily find someone to make up the amount."

Hearing this, the two of them fell silent at the same time.

His gaze was deep, and the depths of his eyes were filled with seriousness. It was as if he was a completely different person compared to his usual gentleness. His almost explicit words caught Mu Yao off guard and he froze on the spot. It was only when the spoon in his hand stopped falling that Mu Yao snapped back to reality with a 'ping' sound from the plate.

She had never thought of it!

The boss had a good relationship with everyone in the department. She didn't expect him to …

"Ugh …" It's rare for me to get off work early, so I'm going back! " While Liang Zhuo Qian didn't say anything else, Mu Yao pretended to be slow and took his bag in panic. He stood up and said, "Boss, take your time and eat!"

"Mu Yao!"

However, just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Liang Zhuo Qian.

He sighed helplessly and leaned back on the sofa with a defeated look on his handsome face. The corners of his mouth curled up in a self-deprecating smile. He raised his head, not bothering to give any hint. "You really are hard to catch up to …"

"Boss, I …"

"Reject me because you have someone you like?"
