After Becoming an Alpha, I Became a Charmer (GL) - Chapter 34.2

Xie Rongrong didn’t know this routine. She thought Xia Zhiyu was rude and impolite. She’s eating first even though they’re eating the same dishes! And Ruan Wu is the CEO! And she has the audacity to recommend food to Ruan Wu! Doesn’t she know that Sister Ruan Wu was an all-around star student in Omega school? The cooking teacher still talks about how delicious Ruan Wu’s homemade dishes are. Every time they have class, she tells them again how great Ruan Wu’s cooking is.

It could be said that the teachers at Omega school were partly responsible for Xie Rongrong’s admiration for Ruan Wu.

“Ms. Ruan would never…” Xie Rongrong stopped talking because Ruan Wu’s chopsticks actually reached for the dish Xia Zhiyu had said tasted good.

“It is quite good,” Ruan Wu nodded.

Xie Rongrong stared at Xia Zhiyu’s dish. How can it be that delicious? But Sister Ruan Wu said it was good, so it must be really tasty.

Xie Rongrong looked at the few dishes in front of her. She hadn’t bought that one.

“Little Xie, would you like to try some?” Xia Zhiyu saw Xie Rongrong’s “craving” gaze and politely offered.

“No need.” Xie Rongrong wouldn’t share a dish with the hateful Alpha Xia Zhiyu.

Even if Ruan Wu had eaten from it, as long as Xia Zhiyu’s chopsticks had touched it, she would refuse without hesitation.

Because she hated Xia Zhiyu.

After eating her tasteless lunch, Xie Rongrong was finally able to leave.

She wanted to follow Ruan Wu into the CEO’s office to stay for a while, but Xia Zhiyu stopped her. “Little Xie, Ms. Ruan has to work.”

Xie Rongrong was surprised. “Doesn’t Sister Ruan Wu rest at noon?” I wanted to talk to Ruan Wu during the break and complain about Xia Zhiyu.

Xia Zhiyu said, “Ms. Ruan loves to work. You should know that, shouldn’t you?”

Xie Rongrong felt challenged in her status as Ruan Wu’s admirer. “Of course! No one knows Sister Ruan Wu better than I do!”

“Right. I need to learn from Sister Ruan Wu. I’m going back to read the documents now. Don’t bother me.” Xie Rongrong was provoked by Xia Zhiyu and retreated to the secretary’s office.

After Xie Rongrong closed the door, Xia Zhiyu turned and walked into the CEO’s office.

Ruan Wu was surprised to see only her enter. “Where’s Xie Rongrong?”

Xia Zhiyu winked at Ruan Wu proudly. “She’s learning from her idol. She went back to her office to read the documents and told me not to bother her. I have nowhere else to go now, so I’ve come to seek refuge with you, Ms. Ruan.”

Ruan Wu couldn’t help but be amused by her mischievous demeanor. “Try not to make her hate you.”

Xie Rongrong’s background was significant. It was best to avoid offending her.

Ruan Wu knew everything Xia Zhiyu did was to increase their time alone together. She was happy but also a little worried.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Ruan. I know where the line is. I won’t make the Xie family’s little princess hate me. At most, she’ll just find me annoying and dislike seeing me.”

“It doesn’t matter what Xie Rongrong thinks. I’m Ms. Ruan’s secretary, not hers. I won’t be working by her side. She’ll leave when her internship is over in a while. It’s impossible for her to stay at the Ruan Group forever. Even if she wanted to, Xie Wuyu wouldn’t allow it.”

Xia Zhiyu stayed in the CEO’s office until 2 p.m. before returning to the secretary’s office.

She pushed the door open, and Xie Rongrong immediately looked up at her. “Secretary Xia, where were you just now?”

She realized she had made a mistake by chasing Xia Zhiyu away. What if Xia Zhiyu went to the CEO’s office to find Ruan Wu? She’s so smooth-talking. She must have found a way to stay there.

Xia Zhiyu seemed surprised by her question. “Little Xie, are you worried I have nowhere to go? Don’t worry. I have a good relationship with all my colleagues in the company. I can go to any office I want.”

Xia Zhiyu’s answer was both informative and vague. Remembering how popular Xia Zhiyu was, Xie Rongrong desperately wanted to snap and ask her exactly where she had been.

“Is that so? I hope Secretary Xia remembers that she is Ms. Ruan’s secretary. If you just leave like that, what if Ms. Ruan needs you? If you wander around various departments, how will Ms. Ruan find you?”

Xie Rongrong was unhappy when Xia Zhiyu stayed in the CEO’s office, but she was even more unhappy when Xia Zhiyu claimed she went to other departments.

It must be because I can’t stand her promiscuous, frivolous behavior, Xie Rongrong told herself.

She could easily imagine the scene when Xia Zhiyu went to other departments during lunchtime.

Everyone was off work during the break. Everyone would crowd around Xia Zhiyu, chatting and joking with her. The office would be filled with happy laughter.

Why should she get to flirt with Omegas and Betas while I’m here studying seriously?

Xia Zhiyu listened to Xie Rongrong and realized she couldn’t understand what Xie Rongrong really wanted.

Does she want me to seek out Ruan Wu or not?

Children are so unpredictable. I, an older single Alpha, can’t keep up with a child’s thought process.

The afternoon work was busy again. Xie Rongrong still hadn’t finished reading the documents by the end of the workday.

Xia Zhiyu rushed in from outside, packed her things, and prepared to leave. She said to Xie Rongrong, who was still buried in her documents, “Little Xie, it’s time to clock out. Ms. Ruan just received a call from your father. He said he called you, but you didn’t answer, and he’s waiting downstairs at the company to pick you up.”

Xie Rongrong frowned irritably. “Why did he come so early? I haven’t finished reading yet.”

“Moderation is key. Absorbing too much knowledge at once can make it difficult to digest. It’s better to take it step by step,” Xia Zhiyu said.

However, Xie Rongrong was at her wit’s end. Being lectured by the Alpha she hated the most was unbearable. She was about to explode when Xia Zhiyu suddenly changed the subject. “But Little Xie is so smart. You definitely won’t have those problems. If you want to finish reading it today, you can take it home.”

Xie Rongrong heard Xia Zhiyu’s cheerful voice and looked up at her smiling face. The frustration she had been suppressing for half a day suddenly dissipated. “Mhm.”

I won’t hit a smiling person. Seeing Xia Zhiyu smiling so happily at her, she wouldn’t hold a grudge.

Xia Zhiyu waited for Xie Rongrong to gather her documents, locked the secretary’s office door, and then followed Xie Rongrong to the CEO’s office to say goodbye to Ruan Wu. The smile on her face hadn’t faded the entire time.

Ruan Wu still had some work to finish. Xia Zhiyu helped escort Xie Rongrong out of the company. In the elevator, Xie Rongrong finally couldn’t hold back her question. “Secretary Xia, are you very happy?”

“Yes~” Super happy. Ruan Wu probably thought she suffered a little dealing with Xie Rongrong today. Ruan Wu had just said she would personally cook dinner at home. Xia Zhiyu wasn’t just happy; she was ecstatic.

If she hadn’t been worried about Xie Rongrong opening the door at any moment and seeing them, she would have absolutely picked up Ruan Wu and spun her around three times when she heard the news.

“What could possibly make you so happy? Did you win five million?” She works a full day and barely makes enough salary, yet she can still smile. Xie Rongrong couldn’t understand.

“It might be because I don’t have to work overtime until seven today,” Xia Zhiyu said.

“That’s such a trivial thing!” Xie Rongrong was astonished. “You have no ambition.”

Xia Zhiyu didn’t care at all about her mockery. All that mattered in her heart right now was Ruan Wu and Ruan Wu’s cooking. She wouldn’t pay attention to what anyone else said.

Xia Zhiyu responded with a radiant smile.

Xie Rongrong: “…”

She uncomfortably looked away and thought: Hold it together! Don’t let Xia Zhiyu fool you. She’s just doing this to seduce the entire company!
