C112 His Appetite Was Good

"The key." Stopping at her door, Shen Ruo Bai looked down at her and spat out one word coldly.

"How did you know the exact location of my house?"

Xia Jing's entire body was stiff as she was held in his arms, her face full of surprise.

Not only did this person know which apartment her family lived in, he even knew the specific number of the house.

How did he do it?

"As long as I want to know it." Shen Ruo Bai's explanation was very simple, and she continued to ask, "The key."

"Put me down first." Xia Jing did not plan to let him in. She frowned and said, "My legs are strong now. Put me down. You can go back."

With her current relationship with him, it was not suitable for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room.

Shen Ruo Bai's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in them.

Xia Jing was a little frightened. She gently reached into her pocket and gave him the key.

Shen Ruo Bai opened the door, and Xia Jing hurriedly struggled out of his embrace as soon as she entered.

However, Shen Ruo Bai suddenly hugged her waist and turned around, pressing her against the wall. He then lowered his head and kissed her. Xia Jing opened her eyes wide, but Shen Ruo Bai ignored her and used his tongue to pry open her teeth. He entered and skillfully stole her sweetness.

The feeling that he had not felt in a long time made him unable to suppress his emotions anymore. He reached out and lifted her skirt, but at this moment, Xia Jing bit him hard. The intense pain forced him to stop moving, and his mouth was full of the smell of blood.

Xia Jing pushed him away with all her might and shouted in a sobbing tone, "Shen Ruo Bai, what are you doing?"

She had nothing to do with him anymore. He was the one who told her to go her own way. The two of them had already completely cut off their relationship.

But what was he doing now?

Did he want their old relationship to rekindle? Or did he just want to have a one-night stand and get rid of her after one night?

Unfortunately, she, Xia Jing, was not that kind of woman.

Hearing her question, Shen Ruo Bai paused for a long time, not saying a word for a long time. Just as Xia Jing was about to glare at him, he suddenly curled his lips and said in a cold tone, "I seem to have gotten used to it."

"Shen Ruo Bai, you bastard!"

Xia Jing raised her hand and was about to slap him, but Shen Ruo Bai grabbed her wrist tightly.

What did he mean by getting used to it? Once he got used to it, he could ignore their current relationship and still do whatever he wanted like in the past?

She had had enough of this irresponsible man.

Shen Ruo Bai gripped her wrist very tightly. He seemed to have used a lot of strength. Xia Jing could clearly feel that her wrist had already turned red.

She tried to break free with all her might, but he grabbed it even tighter and did not show any mercy. It was unknown if it was because of the pain in her wrist or her heart, but tears welled up in Xia Jing's eyes, but she tried her best to hold them back, not letting them flow.

Shen Ruo Bai looked at her stubborn appearance. A trace of heartache flashed through her dark eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness. "This kiss will be my reward for sending you home. If you don't think it's enough, tell me how much it is. But not any woman can hit me, especially someone like you, who has nothing to do with me."

A woman who has nothing to do with me?

The tears in Xia Jing's eyes could no longer be controlled.

"Go, go away!" She lost control and shouted.

What did he think she was? How much did he think her people could be measured by money?

Even if the two of them had nothing to do with each other, was it necessary for him to humiliate her like this?

Xia Jing's heart was already numb with pain, numb to the point that she didn't feel anything at all.

The person in front of her, the person she once loved, had become so unfamiliar and annoying.

Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Shen Ruo Bai seemed to smile in satisfaction. She turned around and slammed the door behind her.

The moment she went out, Xia Jing squatted on the ground and burst into tears once again. Her red and swollen lips still had that person's scent lingering on them.

"Xiao Jing, what happened to you? Did you bump into a ghost last night?" Early in the morning, Su An came to Xia Jing's office to deliver the documents to her. She was shocked when she saw Xia Jing's inhuman appearance.

No wonder the company had been discussing it since the beginning. She vaguely heard that it was about Xiao Jing, but she didn't expect that something really would happen to her.

"Nope." Xia Jing lowered her head to deal with the documents with an indifferent expression.

Su An frowned. She suddenly snatched the pen from her and said somewhat angrily, "Xiao Jing, you are the CEO of the Xia Family Enterprise. Look at yourself and see what you have become."

"What do you mean?" Xia Jing looked up at her unhappily. "Does it matter what image I have? Is the operation of the Xia Family Enterprise supported by my image?"

"You ..." Su An did not expect her to say such a thing. She was so angry that she could not speak.

After thinking for a while, she took out a small mirror and handed it to Xia Jing, "Did you not look in the mirror when you went out? Look at yourself now. The moment you arrived at the company, you became the focus of attention. Everyone is talking about you. Can you really not care about it and give up on yourself?"

Originally, he thought that Xiao Jing had slowly gotten over the matter of Shen Ruo Bai, but she suddenly gave up on herself. What exactly was going on?

When Xia Jing went out, she really didn't look in the mirror. Last night, she cried for an entire night. In the morning, she closed her eyes for a while before the alarm rang. After washing her face randomly, she rushed over to the company.

Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were two large dark circles under her eyes. Xia Jing was stunned for a moment.

Was this how she came to the company today?

"You really haven't looked in the mirror?" Noticing the change in Xia Jing's expression, Su An put away the small mirror and grabbed Xia Jing's hand. "I'll accompany you back to rest. I'll have Li Nan send these documents to your house later."

"What right do you have to do that!"

Xia Jing fiercely shook off her hand, and Su An looked at her in shock. What right did she have? Was it wrong for her to care about her?

"Su An, you don't need to worry about me. You can leave now. This is work. I am your superior. Please don't overstep your boundaries."

No wonder Shen Ruo Bai knew the exact address of her family. Li Nan must have told her. Su An had said that Li Nan had asked for her address, and she had told him.

If it wasn't for Su An, perhaps Shen Ruo Bai would not have been able to send her home so easily last night.

Then that wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have become like this today.

"Xiao Jing?" Su An looked at her in disbelief. What do you mean by overstepping one's status? She was friends with Xiao Jing, but now she was using her identity as the CEO to suppress her?

Who exactly was she doing this for?

"Alright, stop talking. You can leave now." Xia Jing knew that at this moment, she might be a little unreasonable. She really wanted to control her emotions, but her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't control it at all.

"Alright, I don't care about you anymore."

Su An was also truly angered.

Surpassing his status, this person must be looking down on her from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Su An leave, Xia Jing suddenly felt empty. She weakly sat on the office chair and looked at the piles of documents on the table. She suddenly felt as if the whole world had abandoned her.

At the same time, she was so stressed that she wanted to cry.

She could not be decadent, and now was not the time for her to be decadent.

Opening the document, Xia Jing took a deep breath and continued with her work.

When she was busy until noon, Ai Mi suddenly knocked on the door. Xia Jing looked up and saw Ai Mi standing at the door with the food in her hands.

"Director Xia, it is time to eat."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and Ai Mi explained, "Li Nan ordered takeout for you. He and Miss Su went out and told me to bring it to your office."

"Li Nan?"

Only then did Xia Jing remember that she had an argument with Su An in the morning. Usually, Su An would bring her food when it was time for dinner, or she would ask her to go out for a meal.

It seemed that she was really angry.

With a light sigh, Xia Jing took another document and continued to deal with it. "Put the things down and I'll eat later."

Ai Mi nodded her head and walked in to put it on her desk. Seeing that Xia Jing was seriously dealing with the documents, she hesitated for a moment and could not help but remind her: "Director Xia, you should eat first before you work. The food will not taste good if it gets cold."

"I know."

Xia Jing answered without raising her head.

Ai Mi seemed to know her personality and was still worried, "How about I wait here for a while. When you are done eating, I will put away the food so that you can work more conveniently."

Xia Jing finally raised her eyes from the pile of documents and looked at her. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing the worry in Ai Mi's eyes, she did not say anything in the end.

Only then did she put down the documents in her hand, take the food, and open all the boxes.

What was unexpected was that inside were all the things she liked to eat.

Usually, when Li Nan brought her meals in peace, they were all nutritious and balanced meals. However, the dishes that Li Nan ordered were all things she liked to eat. And from the looks of it, they were also very similar to the dishes that Sister Fu cooked.

Xia Jing originally didn't have much appetite, but after seeing the dishes, she suddenly had an appetite. Under Ai Mi's supervision, she started to eat.

When Ai Mi closed the table, Xia Jing could not help but ask, "Which restaurant did Li Nan order takeout from?"

Not only did the appearance look like that of Sister Fu, even the taste was similar.

"I don't know about that either, but Director Xia seems to have a pretty good appetite today." Ai Mi could not help but smile. It was very rare for Director Xia to eat so much. This Li Nan was really capable.

"When Li Nan comes back, I'll ask him myself." This person actually knew what she liked to eat.

Xia Jing vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to guess anymore.

Perhaps she was being too suspicious. Back then, Li Nan had gone to the summer villa to look for Shen Ruo Bai to take care of official matters, and most of the time, it just happened to be time for lunch. It didn't seem strange that he knew what she liked to eat.

However, she was quite curious as to which restaurant had made these dishes. They were actually comparable to Sister Fu's cooking.

Because she missed the taste of Sister Fu's cooking, she ate a lot in an instant. It was just as Ai Mi had said, she had a rare appetite.
