Qiao Xin snorted again, and she just rummaged through the food on her plate. It was lunchtime now, and Qiao Xin seemed to have no appetite. She still has a lot of work to do, and she doesn't even know how long it will take to finish. It seems, what Qiao Xin thought was right, a big company must be working here will be very tiring.

"Eat it, Qiao. Exhaling a thousand times will not help us. the work will also never be finished if we just sigh. The most important thing now is, we have to eat a lot, in order to have a lot of energy to complete this task."

"Until when?" Qiao Xin asked. Mei immediately fell silent, and she didn't even know herself. Who knows when Li Xuan's task would end? The obvious goal was to make Qiao Xin excited, even though she would end up getting too stressed out because of this problem. "It is possible, the central company can find the culprit, we are still stupidly looking for strange data there. Anyway, can we take the document home with us? as long as it's not lost or not found out, I guess everything will be fine right?" Qiao Xin then said.

Mei was silent again. She seemed to be in deep thought, then nodded, "You intend to take the document home and stay at home late?" asked May later. Qiao Xin nodded.

"Of course, otherwise how can we quickly complete our task, Mei. I had to do it, even if it was secretly."

"But-"

Mei's speech was interrupted when Qiao Xin grabbed her arm. They now looked to see Li Xuan, who seemed to be walking along with a woman.

"Is that the secretary?" Qiao Xin then asked. Mei shook her head.

"Maybe one of his girlfriends,"

"What?"

"Yeah, you know our boss is that kind of guy. Mr. Li likes to change women, and the rumors are well known. apart from relying on his wealth and position in the Han Corporation, Mr. Li also relied on his handsome face. So, don't be surprised when you are seduced or given sweet words by him, of course you know the intent and purpose. Master Li approaches anyone who is beautiful."

"Of course I don't," Qiao Xin said. No, because she already has a husband. Even if she didn't have a husband, Qiao Xin guaranteed that such a jerk wouldn't so easily trap her.

"Miss, are you here?"

Qiao Xin turned her head back, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw a figure who seemed to be walking towards her—wearing his expensive tuxedo with his shiny black shoes. Qiao Xin blinked her eyes again, and she didn't expect that from yesterday until now she kept meeting this man in front of her.

"Mr. Xuan? Why are you here?" Qiao Xin asked with a confused look on her face. Mei, who saw that Qiao Xin looked familiar with this handsome man who seemed to have a good position, nudged her best friend's arm.

"Who is he?" whispered Mei. Qiao Xin just blinked her eyes as if telling her best friend to shut up.

"Didn't I tell you to pick me up Big Brother Cheng, Miss?" Xuan Cheng said Qiao Xin nodded her head in confusion. It seemed that it was better for her to obey now than to deal with humans who confused her. "I work here from today onwards," Xuan Cheng said later. Qiao Xin couldn't help but smile, then Xuan Cheng sat in front of her, making all the employees in the company cafeteria at that time turn to look at them.

"Same, I also just got to work today. You, I mean Brother Cheng works in what department?" Qiao Xin then asked. Xuan Cheng smiled again, then he leaned his back, spread his eyes on the entire cafeteria room he was currently occupying.

"Just to help temporarily, Miss. I won't be working here for long either. Oh yeah, looks like you're in a lot of trouble. Has Mr. Li made things difficult for you while you worked here?" Xuan Cheng asked again. Qiao Xin seemed to smile wryly.

"Mr. Li told me to manually record all the company's production costs from 2006 to the present."

"What? I think Mr. Li is playing a prank on you," said Xuan Cheng. Qiao Xin seemed to smile wryly at that, and then she sighed again. "How about this, I'll help you compile the data manually. If there's a lot of help wouldn't it be very useful? After all, it will be faster to finish, right?"

"But, doesn't that bother you?"

Xuan Cheng immediately shook his head, and then he looked at Qiao Xin with a happy expression.

"Of course not at all, I'd be very happy if I could help you, Miss,"

Qiao Xin seemed to smile at that, making Xuan Cheng smile too. For the first time, Xuan Cheng did something out of the ordinary. How could it not be? Normally Xuan Cheng wouldn't care about anything, now he would voluntarily do something this stupid, just because of Qiao Xin. But, Xuan Cheng would never feel sorry, as long as he could be close and with Qiao Xin no matter what, it was a very pleasant thing. Even though in reality, Xuan Cheng was still curious about Qiao Xin's true background, from which board member and from which respectable family, to be able to be at the party held by the Han family. Xuan Cheng had to investigate all of this.

This afternoon, Xiao Long seemed reluctant to leave his room. He just spent his time in silence in front of the laptop. His mind was somewhere else, making Tao, who had just entered seemed to be frowning in confusion. Either way, the boss seems to have changed recently, and that's managed to make Tao worry too.

"Young Mr. Han, is there anything I can help you with now? looks like there's still some work to be done," Tao finally spoke, causing Xiao Long to look at him disinterestedly.

"Come out, I want to be alone."

"Young Mr. Han, Young Mr. Xuan's arrival is not something to think about like this, as the past can't change anything, so I hope—"please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"Couldn't you just leave me alone?" Xiao Long snapped. Tao finally nodded his head too. How could he not? He couldn't change the way Xiao Long looked at him, who hated Xuan Cheng so much.

"Alright, Young Mr. Han. I'll excuse myself, when you need something just call."

Xiao Long leaned his back, and then he closed his eyes tightly. Flashes of the terrible past came back very real.

"Why are you silent like an idiot! Lingling has swept away from you just watched it, Cheng!"

"I don't know what to do, Xiao! Everything happened fast! do you want me to drift with Lingling?!"

"You killed him! You killed my Lingling!"

Xiao Long immediately opened his eyes wide, and the tears had filled his eyes again. His breath was heavy and fast, and his hands clasped tightly together. How can the events of the past come back very real? Was it the trauma that Xuan Cheng had inflicted? Xiao Long's jaw hardened. He then took medicine in his work drawer, drank it quickly, and took another deep breath.

Yes, Xiao Long had to calm himself down. He didn't want to be caught in a very terrible cycle of depression.

Xiao Long then decided to get up from his seat. His jaw seemed to harden as he adjusted the hem of his shirt sleeve, Tao who had been standing in front of the door of his room, immediately followed Xiao Long's steps as he walked into the elevator.

"Young Mr. Han, what is Young Mr. Han planning to do now?"

"I want to go home," Xiao Long replied.

Tao was silent again and then smiled. Yes, going home is what Xiao Long has to do before the man gets even more depressed because of Xuan Cheng's arrival.

"Leave my regards to Young Lady Han, it seems she has misunderstood me."

Hearing this, Xiao Long immediately stopped in his tracks, his sharp gaze looking at Tao with meaning.

"Why do you have to send greetings to my wife?" Xiao Long investigated in the end.

"Yes, as a result of me sending gifts back home, it seems that Young Lady Han hates me, Young Mr. Han. As your right-hand man, it's not very good for me to be hated by your wife," Tao replied in the end.

Xiao Long finally nodded as well, and then he smiled faintly. After he left the company, Xiao Long rushed into the car until the car finally stopped at a red light.

"Poor," said his private driver. Xiao Long also drew an eyebrow.

"What is it?" asked Xiao Long in the end.

"There, Young Mr. Han. The women selling accessories seemed to be having a big fight with the shop owner beside them, all their merchandise was thrown away, and no one intervened," explained her driver. Xiao Long didn't seem to care at first. He was busy with his cell phone, then he turned his head and saw for himself. For some reason seeing the older woman's figure reminded him of his mother-in-law, and it managed to make Xiao Long take a deep breath.

"Wait here,"

"Alright, Young Mr. Han."

Xiao Long got out of the car. After a while, he heard the big fight, several people were passing by, but none of them dared to help.

"Mr, what is the meaning of all this? I trade on the terrace of the flower shop, not on the terrace of your shop. I didn't harm you at all."

"If you don't have money, then stop trading with this rotten maid!"

The pot-bellied man again damaged all the merchandise, and Xiao Long managed to block the man's hand. The man looked at Xiao Long with an annoyed look, and Xiao Long was no less cold looking at the man.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my matters!" snapped the man. Xiao Long smiled sinisterly, and he looked at the man with a disdainful look.

"Old man, you don't need to know who I am. What's clear now is stop bothering this woman, otherwise, I'll break your hand right now."
