When I went to the drinking water area to get water in the morning, I happened to see Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo walking out of the elevator. I hadn't seen Mo Chen for two days, and when I suddenly saw him, I forgot to dodge.

Mo Chen didn't see me. The two of them seemed to be chatting about something, talking and laughing as they walked towards the office.

I stared at the office door for a long time until they entered the office.

My heart suddenly felt very blocked. I drank the water in the cup and turned around to get another glass of water.

Back to the workstation, we are actually quite idle when we are free. I can't even find anything to do.

"Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you heartbroken?" The queen came closer to me.

I turned to look at my empress. Does she have some superpower that allows her to see through people's minds? Is she always so accurate?

"Don't look at me! If there is anything wrong with you, it will be written all over your face!" The queen pointed at my face.

"You haven't smiled all morning. What's wrong..." The queen looked at me.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "My lady, I seem to be obsessed with someone I shouldn't be obsessed with."

"Someone you shouldn't care about? A sex partner?"

"Um, yeah... sort of." Before I could finish my sentence, I was pulled up by the Empress.

"Let's go to a quiet place and have a good chat!" The queen pulled me up and walked away.

I got up and followed him to the lounge area.

"I've never heard that you have a man! You've kept it a secret very well, Nangong Rongyue!" The Queen looked at me excitedly.

"Um…"

"What kind of man would make you not even want to be your boss?"

"Didn't I tell you! The boss was just joking with me! Why are you still mentioning the boss?" I hit the queen.

"I have my own eyes and can see clearly! How can I be fooled by someone like you who has half a brain missing?" The queen laughed.

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" I stood up.

"No, no, no, my dear baby. I won't tease you anymore. Just speak carefully. I'm listening." The queen held me back.

"Who is your sex buddy? Is he married? Do you have a photo? Let me see it."

"I have a girlfriend... and I'm married... um..." I don't know what to say, why is it so confusing...

"You are quite unconventional. You can hook up with people who have girlfriends and wives?! You are really good at it!" The empress smiled.

I laughed too. The conversation was completely chaotic.

"Then what's wrong with you? Are you now emotionally disturbed?"

"I don't know. There's a big gap between us. We were just playing around at first, but he's been a little different lately. I don't know when I started to be attracted to him..."

"Rongyue, you can't play with married men! That kind of man never tells the truth. He goes home to coax his wife, supports his girlfriend, and flirts with you. You see how powerful he is! Don't let him play you! Get out of here quickly!" The queen frowned and looked at me seriously.

Get out of it...what should I do?

"My lady, I have never been serious about a person. I want to withdraw... What should I do?"

"Don't contact me yet! Time can solve everything! Trust me, as long as we don't meet or contact each other, the relationship will naturally break off after a while."

"What if we still have to meet for a while? We might bump into each other occasionally."

We have to sleep together every day! But I dare not say it.

"That's difficult. You have to shift your attention away from him first, otherwise you will suffer."

"Or... I will continue to introduce you to promising young people!" The queen's eyes lit up again.

"No need! Thank you, just go find a man! Don't find one for me."

"Tsk! You don't appreciate what you have!"

"Excuse me, I want to chat with Nangong Rongyue, is that ok?"

The Queen stopped, and we both turned to look at the person who was speaking, Xia Xiluo.

"Mr. Xia." The queen's voice sounded a little doubtful, but still calm.

I sighed, what else to talk about.

The queen looked at me in surprise, and I pretended to be confused.

The queen's expression told me to be serious, then she stood up and left.

Xia Xiluo sat down and put a business card in her hand on the table, and motioned for me to take a look.

I picked up the business card, which belonged to the design director of the best advertising company in the country.

"You haven't given up yet?" I looked at Xia Xiluo.

"This is my friend. If you want to go, you can work in the best design company in the country." Xia Xiluo smiled.

I turned the business card in my hand. "Didn't Mo Chen tell you not to mess with me? I thought he reminded you."

Xia Xiluo smiled.

"Our relationship will not be disturbed because of you. You saw it, even with the chaos that happened that day, the three of us will still be the same as before."

"The three of us grew up together, and our families have been friends for generations. How can someone like you shake that relationship? You think too highly of yourself."

That's true, I laughed too.

"What do you mean?" I waved the business card in my hand. "Since you think I'm unimportant, why do you want to drive me away?"

"Out of sight, out of mind. When people are far away from each other, they will naturally grow apart. Not only for Mo Chen, I also don't want you to disturb Li Xin." Xia Xiluo looked at me.

"What about home? Can you guarantee that I won't run into Mo Chen at home?"

"I have my own way. He hasn't been home for three days." Xia Xiluo looked at me with a smile.

Take a deep breath, I told myself, it would ease the heartache.

I looked up at Xia Xiluo.

"Why don't you just persuade Mo Chen to divorce me? I've mentioned it many times, but he just doesn't agree. He said he doesn't want to be separated from me. Aren't you able to control him? Ask him to stop bothering me. I'm also very distressed! I'll be very grateful if you can persuade him."

Xia Xiluo slowly put away her smile.

"Before you come to talk to me, you should first understand the situation! Now he is pestering me! He seduces me in different ways every day! Facing a top-notch man like him, who can resist?! Tell me, if it were you, would you be able to resist?? Is it any use for you to talk to me?!"

I stared at Xia Xiluo's face and sneered.

"Besides, don't you know clearly that Mo Chen hasn't had enough fun yet? Who can control him? Can you?!"

I looked at Xia Xiluo with a smile.

"It seems that you are just like that in Mo Chen's heart. Is Mo Chen too lazy to tell you anything?"

Xia Xiluo looked at me with a pale face.

Okay, I feel good.

I took the business card and said, "I'll think about it. Thank you, Mr. Xia, for running around to arrange a job for me. You really worried about nothing."

I stood up and went back to my workstation. I sat down and felt all the strength in my body drained away. I closed my eyes and slumped in the chair.

Xia Xiluo was right. The three of them were the same as always. I could see that I was the only one stuck in deep trouble. I really had to get out quickly.

I turned the business card in my hand. Maybe Xia Xiluo could really help me get away from Mo Chen, or at least keep some distance from him. Although I was very unhappy with her, at least our goal was the same, which was to keep me away from Mo Chen.

What the queen said is right. We must quickly extricate ourselves from this messy relationship.

"What is this?" The queen took the business card from my hand.

"Fuck, who gave you this position? Mr. Xia? Did they help someone to poach you?" the Empress guessed.

I was too upset to pay attention to him.

"Boss! Our Rongyue is really going to be poached! And he's a big shot!"

I heard the queen shout.

I quickly opened my eyes and turned around to see Li Xin standing next to the queen. He had been away the whole time, and he was back at this time?!

Li Xin took the business card and looked at it, then looked at me.

"What does that mean?" He frowned.

"It's nothing, just a business card." I reached out and pulled the business card back and put it in my pocket.

"Rongyue, come out. Let's talk." After saying that, Li Xin turned and walked towards the rest area.

Oh, trouble comes again.

We both sat down.

"You want to leave?" Li Xin looked at me.

"No... um." I hesitated. "I'm thinking about it."

"Give me a reason why you suddenly want to leave. What are you dissatisfied with working here? You can tell me."

I looked at Li Xin and didn't know how to talk to him for a moment.

"No...no dissatisfaction."

"How do you know this director? Did he contact you?"

"No. I don't know him."

"So someone gave you this. Who was it?"

I looked at Li Xin. Ever since I met Mo Chen, Li Xin, and the Empress, I found that they were all people who could see through everything. Even if I didn't say anything, they could guess one thing.

They are all very smart people. But it makes me very tired.

"No. I asked for it myself."

I thought about it and decided not to tell Xia Xiluo for the time being, because, if I really wanted to leave, maybe she was the only one who could do it.

"You asked for it yourself? Who did you ask for it from? Don't mention Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei can't contact this person!"

“…from Grandpa.” I looked down at my toes. There was no one Grandpa couldn’t reach.

"Does Mo Chen know?"

I frowned and looked at Li Xin.

"Why do I have to mention him? Why should I report to him? Don't I even have the freedom to work wherever I want?"

The doubt in Li Xin's eyes deepened as he looked at me. He was examining me.

I just realized that my tone just now wasn't very good.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but give up the idea of ​​leaving. I am your superior and I don't agree with you leaving." Li Xin's attitude was extremely serious and firm.

I nodded.

"Get back to work."

I stood up and walked back to my workstation, continuing to close my eyes and rest. Haha, the current situation is that my freedom is completely out of my control! It's really frustrating!

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath.

"Any plans for the weekend?"

The person who was speaking was Xia Xiluo. She seldom came to our office area. She was talking to Li Xin.

“Not yet…but…” Li Xin’s voice hesitated.

I didn't look at them and continued to take deep breaths.

"We've moved into a new house. Come to my house for dinner this weekend."

My breath stopped. Moving into a new home... Is this why Mo Chen didn't come back... I see...

I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I knew Xia Xiluo said this on purpose for me to hear, otherwise she wouldn't have to come to our work area to talk to Li Xin about this...

I didn't want to hear it! But I admit that she achieved her goal!

Taking deep breaths no longer solves my problems.

"Melting Moon!"

I turned around to look at the person who called me, and Li Xin strode towards me.

"Do you have any plans for the weekend?" Li Xin stopped in front of me.

"Yes." I looked at Li Xin and lied without hesitation.

Li Xin frowned and looked at me.

"Well, I've already made an appointment with my friends." I forced a smile.

Li Xin looked at me without saying anything.

"How about it? You can come to my house this weekend, right?" Xia Xiluo walked closer to us and looked at Li Xin.

When Li Xin turned around to look at Xia Xiluo, I left. I didn't want to feel sad, but the sadness kept following me.

I stayed in the bathroom for a while to get myself together. But it was hard for me. I had to get some fresh air or I felt like a pressure cooker about to explode.

Everyone is constantly putting pressure on me.

I took out my phone and looked through my friend list. I laughed. I had no one to choose except my wife, but I didn't want to go out with him.

I want to find a place where I can be completely away from these people and stay quiet.

Suddenly, Sui Jing! This name made me stop.

I sent a message to senior Sui Jing, asking him if I could go to his studio to paint on the weekend. This was the only thing I could think of doing right now.

Soon.

The senior replied to me and said that the school was on vacation and he was going to take the students on a 3-5 day sketching outing. He meant that I could go with them.

Because several of his and his wife's students will go, and his wife is pregnant and can't do anything. If I go, I can help him teach and take care of the students.

I agreed, returned to the work area, found Li Xin, and sat next to him.

"Boss," I smiled flatteringly.

"Yeah." Li Xin turned and looked at me with confusion in his eyes.

"I still have a few days of annual leave left. Can I take it this Saturday and Sunday? Please approve it!" I looked at Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin frowned. "Can I know what you are going to do?"

"I have some personal business...I am going to help a friend..."

"Well... now I am asking you in a private capacity. I want to know what you are going to do. Can you tell me?" Li Xin looked at me seriously.

"My friend has an art studio. He is going to take his students to the suburbs to sketch starting tomorrow. His wife is pregnant, so it's not convenient for her. I'm going to help him take care of the students. I also want to find a place where I can think about some things quietly by myself."

Li Xin frowned, and his eyes became sharp again.

"Boss, don't ask anything! I will resign if you don't approve!" I looked at Li Xin with a smile.

"Do you threaten me?"

"Boss! Then please approve it for me! If you approve it, I won't resign! I will work hard for you in the future! Please let me take a rest! I want to go!" I was almost acting like a spoiled child.

Li Xin looked at me for a while, then he nodded helplessly, "Okay, have dinner with me tonight and I'll approve it for you!"

"what?"

"Ah what? There's no room for negotiation!"

"Okay!" I looked at Li Xin helplessly, "Okay! I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Wait for me after get off work." Li Xin said and continued to work.

I returned to my workstation! Thinking that I could go out tomorrow, I felt a little better.

In the afternoon, my senior sent me a message telling me what I should prepare, including a tent and some outdoor equipment.

It’s definitely more fun now. When I was in high school, I went to the countryside to sketch. I never went on a picnic by myself. It’s quite fresh.

After work, Li Xin and I went to the mall first. I wanted to buy some equipment, and Li Xin knew more about it. After we finished shopping, we went out to have dinner. Of course, Li Xin treated me to the dinner, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

After shopping and eating, it was already very late when we finished, so I asked Li Xin to take me back to my grandma's house.

First, my grandma’s house is close to my high school, so those who are leaving tomorrow morning can gather at the high school, which is convenient for me.

Second, I don’t want to go back to such a big house. Even if the room is big, my heart is still empty…

"Where are you going? Is it safe to set up a tent? How many days?"

When we arrived at my grandmother’s house, Li Xin stopped me.

"Well, there are so many students here, they definitely won't go to some remote place, it's safe! Let's go for 3-5 days."

"I always feel a little uneasy. I'm not here, and Jiawei is not here either. Can you take care of yourself?" Li Xin looked worried.

"I've been through this in my life! Of course it's possible! It's not like I haven't gone sketching before!" I couldn't help but laugh.

"Looking at how clumsy you are usually, I think you are lucky to have grown this big."

Li Xin paused.

"I don't know where you are going. Please send me your location when you arrive. Also keep an eye on your phone at all times. Don't go to places without signal. Keep your phone connected. Be safe. When you have time, send me a message or call me."

"Alright, alright! Why are you more nagging than my grandma? I..."

Li Xin suddenly hugged me, making me a little at a loss.

"I don't want you to go." Li Xin's voice was in my ear. He paused for a moment and said, "But I know if I stop you, you will be unhappy. I don't want you to be unhappy all the time."

I raised my hand and patted Li Xin on the back. "I will be careful, don't worry!"

Li Xin left.

If that incident hadn't happened on the night of the annual meeting, what would my relationship with Li Xin and Mo Chen be like? Would it be better than it is now?
