Chapter 3: Heart Racing?

  Lean on

  She let out a sound of indignation from the bottom of her heart, and her small body seemed to have no strength to hold on. She only saw a shiny leather shoe, even the heavy rainwater seemed to be afraid of it, how could anyone get dirty? But it was spotless.

  The raindrops fell more and more towards Gu Xi's direction, and she suddenly discovered that there were two pairs of shoes with different brightness next to her. The person beside him should be his assistant, whose hair was also wet, and he was desperately trying to cover the man with an umbrella.

  Suddenly, she was caught by a pair of wide and warm hands. A clean face, delicate features, that high nose looked really good-looking, and at a glance, his figure was a model man, with an inexplicable feeling of closeness.

  He was the boss of the Fan Yu Group, a well-known entrepreneur named Ling Hao Yu who had made his fortune from scratch at just thirty years old. He happened to be passing by the Zi Bin Hotel and came over to check on the work situation of his cousin-in-law, Gu Xiao Rong, which always gave him a headache. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a little girl who was drenched in the rain, squatting down beside her, gazing at her face covered with raindrops, her delicate skin looking like it would break if blown on, completely without any makeup, her natural and clear facial features, her melancholic eyes seeming to hold untold stories. In that instant, this memory began to replay in his mind.

  A quiet surface but a mouthful of rough words, the girl looked very young. "Little girl, get up quickly." Ling Hao Yu couldn't help but smile when facing this stubborn face. His hands had been holding onto her icy arm all along, and he found that this little girl was quite interesting.

  "What's wrong with you?" Gu Xi heard his words as if he was mocking her, so she became even angrier, fiercely glaring at him and struggling to shake off the man's hand despite having no strength.

  Ahh!

  She propped her hands against the floor, barely managing to prop herself up. Perhaps it was because the ground was too slippery or her hands were too cold, she couldn't tell what was happening and fell heavily again. On a rainy day, no matter how clean the city is, it can't withstand the rush of rainwater. Her whole body had been dirty for a long time, and she never thought of wiping off the dirt on her body, because that would be useless work to her.

  "You're quite something! But in this state, you really don't need my help?"

  He said, unknowingly grabbing her arm again. This stubborn little girl, for the first time looking at a girl for more than a minute, seemed to have some magic that kept his gaze fixed. The harder he tried to hold on to her, the harder she struggled to shake him off. He was starting to realize he couldn't handle this girl! Ah! Ling Hao Yu was pushed down by her!

  "Ling... Director Ling, are you okay?"

  "You little girl, how can you treat our boss like this? You...you are simply impolite."

  His assistant behind him was completely frightened, and then hastily opened the umbrella, both hands pulled up the boss. In this situation, what if you encounter a customer? If you don't protect the boss well, he will be derelict of duty. His entire cheek was red with anxiety, and his big eyes were wide open and closed, gasping for air on top of his head, his tongue frequently rolling in and out, barely finishing two sentences.

  "Damn it! What bad luck, fell into the toilet!" Gu Xi didn't pay attention to their words and struggled to get up, only to find that his back was wet and dirty. He got up and pulled his luggage away.

  Watching the girl in front of her, she quickened her pace and walked away. That thin figure, taking big strides forward, splashing dirty water onto herself, how could she still be so heroic and stubborn despite being injured? As he watched her receding back, Ling Hao Yu's heart suddenly started racing. She must be a drifter, where could that outfit take her?

  "Boss, boss! Are you okay? This stinky girl is too rude!" The assistant behind him had been following Ling Haoyu for 7 years, and his biggest problem was that he was afraid of trouble, treating the boss like a god.

  It wasn't until then that Ling Haoyu was woken up, otherwise his eyeballs would have fallen out. He had just come to his senses when the girl's figure disappeared without a trace. So he hastily grabbed Assistant Xiao Xiaodong and quickly took the car key from his pocket, "Heart pounding, is this the feeling of first love?"

  Suddenly moved? Her? How is that possible? Still a few billion light-years away from the boss, and the assistant hasn't reacted yet. Ling Hao Yu has already quickly driven the car away. In just a flash, Xiao Xiao Dong stupidly stretched out his hand and pointed, "Boss, boss still has a dinner appointment this afternoon." Feeling helpless and self-reproach, he secretly scolded himself for not even being able to handle such a small matter. The dinner appointment this afternoon is quite important, if the consequences are severe, who will take responsibility?

  I heard a familiar yet helpless voice, it was Xiao Xiaodong, my brother's assistant. This time she had backing, even if she had to turn over a few mountains, she would find that stinky girl and vent her anger properly.

  "Hey, where's my brother Xiao Dong?" Lin Xiaorong's right hand was still supporting her chin, half of her face was numb, and she silently cursed, this stinky girl hit too hard.

  "Lin... Miss Lin, are you okay?" A disheveled expression appeared before his eyes, just as he was about to walk in, only to see her coming out. Was she causing trouble again? Since he joined the Yu Fan Group, he had long since seen through Lin Xiaorong's emotional behavior, and the big sister's temper had not changed at all, always with a helpless expression whenever something happened.

  "Ah! No... nothing, I'm asking you, where's my brother? Didn't he come with us?" She was very concerned about her image, but didn't expect to turn around and hurt her neck. Still, she deliberately stood up straight and proud, afraid that her image would be ruined. It was unclear when she started acting like this in front of Xiao Xiaodong. Her chin was hurting so much it was trembling, but she insisted on saying nothing was wrong.

  "Are you really okay? Did your chin get hurt?"

  "Nonsense, what else can I do? Stop talking nonsense, where's my brother?" Lin Xiaorong ignored his questioning, looking around left and right. Every time she was bullied, the first thing that came to mind was Ling Haoyu's name, and today's grudge must be avenged.

  "It's okay, the boss had something urgent to attend to and didn't come over today." He hesitated for a long time before squeezing out this half-true, half-false sentence. The boss's affairs were still best not discussed with this girl, she was the one who couldn't keep her mouth shut. Saying less and responding less would lead to fewer troubles, he was still regretting the dinner party, what excuse could he use to cancel it now that they had already made plans?

  "What? That's outrageous!" The moment she heard it, her expression turned gloomy and she walked back to the front desk with a sigh.

  A perfect turn, the figure reappeared in his line of sight, speeding towards her direction, slowly opening the car window and shouting at her, "Hey, little girl, where are you going like this?"

  "Really sick, I'm not calling you little girl, call Gu Xi...... Can you open your ears a bit wider? Where do I need to use your care?" Gu Xi saw him following up, and his footsteps became more frequent with his temper. Originally a very smooth sentence, he couldn't help but sneeze, the travel case full of dirty water was dragged louder and louder, and only when he lowered his head did he discover that one of the rear wheels was missing.
