Chapter 73
Zhao Xinyu? I didn’t mishear that, did I?!
“Who did you say?”
“Zhao Xin… yu,” Xia Xuan looked at Cai Luo, saying it with some nervousness.
The person Xia Xuan liked before was actually Zhao Xinyu! Hugging Xia Xuan, she opened the pink envelope.
Content: Hello, Senior Sister. It’s graduation season recently…
Ugh! It really was written to Zhao Xinyu. Incredible.
Seeing Cai Luo’s brows tightly furrowed, Xia Xuan became increasingly nervous.
“That was a long time ago. And Senior Sister Zhao Xinyu already made things clear to me.”
“She already has a partner, and I’ve met her partner, Goddess Sun Qianyi. I don’t like her anymore. Please don’t be angry.”
“I’m not angry.” Not angry at all, just jealous! Xia Xuan has actually met Sun Qianyi?
“But you look like you’re mad right now!”
“Hahaha, how could I be? I’m really not mad.” It’s too sudden. Xia Xuan secretly liked Zhao Xinyu before, and has met Sun Qianyi… When did all this happen?
Finding out suddenly is like a bomb dropping. “There’s something I don’t know if you know.”
“What is it?”
“Sun Qianyi is my boss.”
“Ah?”
Seeing Xia Xuan’s reaction, she probably doesn’t know. Oh my, I suddenly feel a little more balanced.
So last time when she, Zhao Xinyu, and Sun Qianyi were eating hotpot, Zhao Xinyu mentioned running into Xia Xuan… I didn’t realize this was the situation back then.
“You work for Sister Qianyi? What do you do?”
“Mhm. I do a bit of everything.”
“No wonder you’re so busy! Why don’t you ask Sister Sun Qianyi to give you less work?” That way we can have more time for dates, and you won’t have to run back to work halfway through a date.
“…Hahaha, I’m half an owner too. Sun Qianyi has some personal things to deal with recently, so I’ve been a little busier. The company has an assistant. Don’t worry.” She also has shares in the studio now. I’m not just working for Sun Qianyi; I’m working for myself too.
“…”
“You should have just told me clearly,” Instead of making others worry.
“Fine. It’s all my fault. It’s true that my job involves a bit of everything.”
“Mhm. Put me down first.”
Cai Luo held the envelope in front of Xia Xuan and asked, “I won’t let go. What are you going to do with this envelope?”
“Cut ties, abandon, detach.” Xia Xuan snatched the envelope, tore it up, and threw it in the trash can.
“Don’t you feel bad?”
“Why would I feel bad?” Senior Sister Zhao Xinyu holds a place in her heart, but it’s no longer one of affection. Although the senior sister loves to travel, she never neglected her studies. After finding out the senior sister has a partner, she wasn’t very sad. The senior sister is still her role model.
“…” Wow, that’s cold! “If we broke up, would you be just as heartless?”
???
“If you broke up with me, I’d break your legs! Hmph!”
“…”
Cai Luo grabbed Xia Xuan’s chin and kissed her lips. This little mouth actually said she’d break my legs.
“Mmm…”
Something’s not right. “You!” My thigh touched something…
“This is a normal physiological reaction. Focus.”
…
Cai Luo and Xia Xuan stayed in the dorm for quite a while before leaving.
Cai Luo took Xia Xuan out for lunch, then went to the studio. As a return gesture, Cai Luo wanted Xia Xuan to see her workplace.
Reaching the building downstairs, Xia Xuan was a little excited. She hadn’t realized Cai Luo knew Sister Sun Qianyi, let alone how close they were.
Arriving at the studio entrance, Cai Luo began introducing it to her.
“This is our studio. This room is Sun Qianyi’s office, which also serves as her dressing room. This area is the workspace…”
Seeing the comrades fighting for the goddess, Xia Xuan introduced herself to them.
Then, she went with Cai Luo to her office. It felt as expected. The desk had many folders. It seems this person has a considerable workload even outside of regular hours.
Work group chat.
Coco: Previous experience tells us that this Miss Xia Xuan is definitely our Sister Cai Luo’s partner.
Big Devil: That makes a lot of sense. The way the boss looks at Xia Xuan is definitely different from how she looks at us.
No Name: Agreed.
…
Su Ke: “You guys keep talking. Sister Cai Luo asked me to make coffee.”
“Hurry up and go!”
“…”
After delivering the coffee, Su Ke came out to retrieve files for Sister Cai Luo. Sister Cai Luo noticed her little probing glance.
Colleagues: “Well? What’s the relationship between Miss Xia Xuan and the boss?”
Su Ke: “You’ll know once I come out of Sister Cai Luo’s office again. You guys, don’t interrupt me while I’m doing my spreadsheets.”
“…” Oh my. Sister Su Ke exposed herself.
“Was that Omega your assistant?” Xia Xuan asked Cai Luo.
Cai Luo took a sip of coffee, put it on the desk, and said, “To be precise, she should be Sun Qianyi’s assistant. At the company, she works part-time as a secretary and usually assists me with work.”
“Mhm,” I see.
“You can come here to visit me later. I’m usually quite busy.”
“Okay~” As long as Cai Luo doesn’t mind the trouble.
Su Ke had completed most of the files Cai Luo needed. She finished, checked, and printed them in about ten minutes.
Knock knock The door knocked. Cai Luo said, “Come in.”
Su Ke: “Sister Cai Luo, here are the files you asked for.”
“Good.” Cai Luo took them and quickly looked through them. No issues.
Su Ke appears serious on the surface but is actually quite the gossip. If she doesn’t know something, she’ll seize the opportunity to find out.
Su Ke had previously asked about the relationship between Zhao Xinyu and Sun Qianyi.
Cai Luo placed the documents on the desk, turned to Su Ke, and said, “This is my girlfriend, her name is Xia Xuan. If she comes over and I happen to be out, just call or message me.”
“Understood.”
“Hello, Miss Xia. Sister Cai Luo is very kind. If she’s not at the studio, it means she’s definitely out for work.”
Cai Luo: … Why does that sound like she’s not helping me at all!
Xia Xuan laughed. “Mhm mhm. Nice to meet you, Su Ke.”
“H-hello. May I ask if you are an artist?” Miss Xia Xuan is so beautiful. I wonder if she has an agency.
Su Ke’s question was very sudden. “Why do you ask? No, I’m not.”
“Is that so? Why don’t you consider our studio? Our studio is excellent. We have a responsible and capable boss like Sister Cai Luo, and our BOSS is a famous choreographer in the industry. It’s a worthwhile investment.” Miss Xia has a good foundation. She would definitely become very popular if she became an artist.
Cai Luo: …
“Su Ke, don’t you have work to do? Go back to work.”
“I finished all my work. Miss Xia, have you considered becoming an artist?”
“…” Su Ke always becomes like this when she meets someone she thinks is good. I suddenly realize she’s acting inappropriately. “Su Ke, my girlfriend is not becoming an artist. You should leave first. Follow up on the artists’ work.”
“Okay, Sister Cai Luo.” Su Ke left Cai Luo’s office as if she had lost a precious treasure.
After Su Ke closed the door, Xia Xuan could no longer hold back her laughter. “That Su Ke is quite amusing.”
Cai Luo: …
Cai Luo: “Finish your coffee. I’ll take you back.”
“Why are you like this!” Xia Xuan looked at Cai Luo, suddenly getting angry.
…
Oh no, I expressed myself poorly.
Cai Luo softened her voice. “I don’t know what to do this afternoon. Is there anywhere you want to go? Don’t be mad. I didn’t express myself well.”
“It’s too late. I’m already mad.” Xia Xuan turned her head away from Cai Luo.
???
“Then I’ll leave you alone. I’ll go check on their work progress.”
“…” Clumsy idiot! She’s not even trying to placate me.
“You continue your work. I’m leaving.” Saying that, Xia Xuan grabbed her bag, stood up angrily, and prepared to leave.
Cai Luo grabbed Xia Xuan’s arm and asked, “Are you still mad?”
…
Xia Xuan tried to pull away. It’s impossible to communicate with Cai Luo.
Cai Luo was baffled. She didn’t know which part of her words was wrong.
But I can’t let Xia Xuan leave now. If I let Xia Xuan go now, I won’t see her for days.
“Tell me what I said that made you angry. I’ll remember it next time.”
“…You won’t remember at all.” The things that make her angry are always more or less the same.
“I didn’t mean it. If you feel like something I said made you angry, just tell me.”
If she doesn’t say anything, I won’t know…
“Why did you suddenly say you wanted to take me back? Are you trying to rush me out?” Xia Xuan asked directly.
“I didn’t mean that. We’ve been out for a long time today. Don’t you feel tired from running around everywhere?”
“No, I don’t. I’m very happy to see your workplace. Or are you the one who’s tired and wants me to take you back?”
“Um, I’m actually a little tired. I’m leaving for a business trip at 9 PM tonight. Why don’t you come to my place with me?”
“You… are your parents there?” Just now, I heard Cai Luo say she was tired. I thought, why didn’t she just say so!
She didn’t mention the business trip.
The sudden jump to inviting her to Cai Luo’s home is very sudden!
“I live alone. They are in my hometown. I’ll buy a house for the two of them to move in at the end of the year. So, do you want to come?”
“Ah? Um… I… I’ll go.” Going to my girlfriend’s house should be fine, right? It will also be convenient to find her next time…
“Good. Sit down first. The coffee is getting cold. I’ll go check on their work progress and be right back.”
“Mhm mhm.”
…
Xia Xuan was still in a somewhat dazed state when she sat down. She put her bag away and picked up her coffee to drink.
Cai Luo went to the work area and instructed everyone on their tasks. She wouldn’t be around for the next two days, so the artists’ work needed to be arranged.
Seven or eight minutes later, Cai Luo returned to the office. Xia Xuan had already finished her coffee.
“Let’s go,” Cai Luo said to Xia Xuan, holding her phone and keys.
“Mhm, okay.”
As the two of them walked out of the office, Cai Luo noticed Xia Xuan was somewhat distracted. She reached out and put her arm around her waist. “Focus on walking.”
“I know.” I’m so nervous. What should I do? This is my first time going to an Alpha’s house!
Cai Luo’s place wasn’t far from the company. On the way, Cai Luo thought for a moment and asked Xia Xuan, “Xia Xuan, I need to rest for a few hours later. Do you want to rest with me?”
???
Huh? She only said we were going to her house. Why is she asking to rest together now?!
This is too sudden. How am I supposed to answer such a direct question?!
Cai Luo: “I changed the door lock password to 159357. Memorize it.”
“Why should I memorize it?” Xia Xuan asked, feigning ignorance.
Cai Luo smiled and said, “What if you come over next time, forget our house password, and can’t get in?”
