Time flew by very quickly when people did things they liked and had good relationships with. These days, Gu Xiaoxiao would stay at Qin Ran's house to draw designs every day for the whole day. Sometimes, she wouldn't even feel hungry when she didn't eat.

Qin Ran worked every day, and sometimes he would only come back very late at night when he worked overtime. She was currently in an internship, so naturally she had to perform well. Moreover, many of the older employees took the opportunity to bully the new employees, and even if they were unwilling, they still had to think about their own work.

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoxiao stretched lazily, feeling the warmth of the sun gently shining on her body. Looking at her clothes on the paper, her lips couldn't help but curl into a smile. She had finally designed it. The fruits of so many days had finally come out. The corner of her mouth curled up. She was very satisfied with this piece of work. She believed that others would definitely recognize her strength.

He checked his watch. It was 2 o'clock. Hmm, there was still a long time until he could get off work. Let's clean the room first.

These days, he had been busy drawing designs and hadn't cleaned his room. Although the room wasn't dirty at all, there was still some dust.

When Gu Xiaoxiao finished cleaning the room, it was already 5 o'clock. She was thinking that the food in the fridge was running out, so she went out to buy some. At this moment, she heard the door open. She looked at the door in surprise and saw Qin Ran, who was carrying a bag.

"Of course, why are you back so early today?"

"Isn't tomorrow Sunday already? It just so happens that everything has been completed today, so we can finally get off work as usual." Qin Ran was also very excited. These days, she had been working overtime. She even felt that she had lost some weight.

"That's great. You can finally have a good rest." Of course, you should rest first. I will go out to buy some food and I will be back soon. " Gu Xiaoxiao went to the entrance to change her shoes.

"Xiaoxiao, stop buying. Let's go out and eat." Qin Ran grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's arm excitedly.

"Go out and eat?" Gu Xiaoxiao repeated herself before she smiled and said, "Sure, let's go out and eat then."

"How about hot pot?" Qin Ran stared eagerly at Gu Xiaoxiao. The message in his eyes was "Hurry up and agree to it".

Gu Xiaoxiao found it funny. Thinking of the hot pot's delicious taste, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. It had been a long time since she had eaten either. She pretended to frown. Looking at Qin Ran's expression, she suddenly shouted, "Alright, I also want to eat hotpot."

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, you little scoundrel. "You actually dared to mess with me." Qin Ran knew what she was thinking the moment he heard Gu Xiaoxiao's tone. He immediately used his Demon Claw to attack Gu Xiaoxiao's waist.

"Hahahaha …" Gu Xiaoxiao was momentarily unaware that she had caught him red-handed, so she could only dodge and beg, "I …" Hahaha … Wrong! Hot pot... Hahaha … The hotpot! "

Qin Ran stopped his Demon Claw after seeing Gu Xiaoxiao laughing so hard. He pretended to be aloof and said, "Hmph, I'll let you go this time. If there's a next time, hmph." Qin Ran's last two hums were mixed with threats.

Gu Xiaoxiao immediately begged for mercy. "It can't be, your boss has so many people, just spare this one."

"Hmph." Qin Ran harrumphed and stretched out his hand. Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao had immediately put her hand under his, he nodded in satisfaction, "Since you are willing to accompany me to eat hotpot, I will forgive you this time."

"Thank you, esteemed Empress, for your magnanimity." Gu Xiaoxiao said as she deliberately looked at her throat.

Then they both laughed.

"Alright, hurry up and change your shoes. Let's go earlier. We're going to have a big feast today."

"Alright."

Soon, they walked downstairs and found Qin Ran's small electric car.

"Sit, Xiao Xiao. Today, let me show you the might of my clan's xanthium." Qin Ran took out the key to unlock the door, then sat in the front seat and patted the back seat as he spoke to Gu Xiaoxiao with a face full of pride.

Qin Ran bought the electric car after graduation. Her work place wasn't far from home, it would only take 20 minutes for her to arrive on the electric car. She felt that electric cars were not only cheap, but also green ways to travel. Most importantly, they could use their small size to shuttle through the traffic during traffic jams.

This electric car was completely yellow, so Qin Ran named it the xanthium. She found it pleasant and appropriate. It was appropriate, but Gu Xiaoxiao didn't find it pleasant at all.

Gu Xiaoxiao sat in the backseat, hugging Qin Ran's waist and said softly, "OK."

"You're done?" Qin Ran asked in a questioning tone, "Then I need to drive?"

"Mm, let's do it."

"Ah!" Suddenly, Qin Ran started up the electric car and it sped forward. Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't react in time as she screamed.

"Of course. Slow down." Gu Xiaoxiao said in fright.

"Oh, I know." Hearing Gu Xiaoxiao's frightened voice, Qin Ran slowed down the car.

The Hot Pot Shop they were going to wasn't far from their destination, and they quickly reached their destination.

Gu Xiaoxiao got off the car and Qin Ran parked the car at the door beside the Hot Pot Shop. This way, it wouldn't be stolen nor blocked by other people's business.

"Welcome! "Excuse me, are there two?" As soon as they entered, a waiter came up and asked.

"Yes." Qin Ran replied indifferently. Qin Ran was still a beauty with a very good temperament outside, just don't reveal her personality.

"Is it in the lobby or the private room?"

"Let's go to the private room." Qin Ran asked Gu Xiaoxiao with his eyes. The room was relatively quiet, and they were allowed to go crazy without fear of being seen by others.

"Okay, please follow me, ladies."

Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Ran followed the waiter to the second floor and entered a private room. It was very simple and clean, and they were very satisfied.

"Miss, you can drink some water first. The hotpot will be here shortly." The waiter poured water for them and placed it on the table before retreating.

Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Ran threw their bags on the sofa and sat on the table. They drank some water and chatted while they waited for the hotpot.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Qin Ran said, "Come in," and waiters came in with pots, vegetables, fruits, various pastries, as well as meat and beer. They put all these things on the table, turned on the switch, and went out.

"Xiaoxiao, you must eat your fill today. If you don't finish, you won't go back." Looking at the huge pile of food material on the table, Qin Ran said with a cold tone.

"Alright, let's start eating now. Let's celebrate you getting off work so early today, rest tomorrow, and also celebrate the completion of my design draft." Gu Xiaoxiao poured a glass of beer each for herself and Qin Ran, then clinked glasses with Qin Ran.

"What?" Your design is complete? " Qin Ran said in surprise, "Then we have to celebrate properly. Cheers!" Qin Ran touched Gu Xiaoxiao's glass and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
