The boss of a wealthy family is too clingy, and the beautiful secretary wants to quit

"Captain Li, what are you doing? Come in and play with us." The people in the box shouted enthusiastically.

Li Hao finally came back to his senses. He turned to look at Xia Rui, and she smiled and said, "Go in," as if nothing had happened.

Li Hao nodded and followed Xia Rui into the box.

When Zhou Dan saw Li Hao coming in, he immediately walked up to him and asked caringly, "Captain Li, have you drunk too much? Your face is a little red."

Li Hao touched his face and found it was indeed a little hot. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, maybe it's a little hot." His eyes inadvertently swept over Xia Rui and found that she was drinking with her teammates, laughing, and didn't even glance at him.

Seeing this, Zhou Dan immediately blocked Xia Rui's direction and said with a smile, "Captain Li, please teach me how to play darts."

Li Hao looked at Zhou Dan's expectant eyes and couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, Zhou Dan had already put the dart in Li Hao's hand.

Li Hao nodded, and the two walked to the dartboard and started playing. Zhou Dan was very involved in the game, cheering excitedly from time to time. Li Hao was a little absent-minded, as if his mind was being pulled by something, and his eyes kept drifting in the direction of Xia Rui.

Xia Rui had a faint smile on her face, as if she was having a great time.

When Zhou Dan's laughter was heard, Xia Rui felt a faint sadness in her heart. She felt that she was finished and was trapped again.

She remained calm and continued playing cards with others with a smile on her face.

The night was getting late. Finally, everyone decided to go home. Zhou Dan suddenly pretended to be drunk, staggered to Li Hao, and whispered: "Captain Li, I've drunk a little too much, can you take me home?"

Li Hao's eyes moved between Zhou Dan and Xia Rui. Finally, he looked at Xia Rui and asked softly, "Are you okay? How are you going back?"

Xia Rui was drunk and had a faint smile on her face, hiding her inner emotions. She shook her head gently and said, "I have a lounge here, don't worry."

Li Hao nodded and said to Xia Rui, "Then I'll take her back."

Xia Rui smiled and agreed, and walked them to the door. Her eyes stayed on Li Hao and Zhou Dan for a moment, then she turned her head away silently.

Back in the office, Xia Rui lay on the desk, letting her thoughts fly.

After that kiss, her courage shrank. She became cowardly and afraid. She was afraid of being rejected and afraid that she would sink deeper and deeper, and eventually get stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate herself.

In order to stop herself from suffering this kind of torture, Xia Rui made a decision. She took out her cell phone and blocked Li Hao's WeChat.

This simple action seemed like a line of defense she built for herself to block out those inappropriate thoughts.

At this moment, the bar manager came in with a glass of honey water and said softly, "Mr. Xia, drink some honey water. It will help relieve the pain."

Xia Rui raised her head, forced a smile, took the honey water and drank it in big gulps. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, as if it could temporarily dispel the bitterness in her heart. She closed her eyes and calmed down the waves in her heart.

On the other side, after Li Hao sent Zhou Dan back, he returned to his dormitory alone.

He sat on the edge of the bed, took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and began to edit a message for Xia Rui.

[I'm back in the dormitory. You drank a lot of wine. Remember to drink some sobering tea and go to bed early.] After editing the message, Li Hao checked it several times to make sure there were no omissions before clicking send.

A red exclamation mark suddenly appeared!

Li Hao paused. He couldn't believe his eyes and sent several messages again, but the result was still the same.

His mind was in a mess and he didn't understand why this happened.

Was it because he made her spend money tonight? Or was it because of the kiss? He recalled every detail of what happened tonight, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He felt an unprecedented sense of loss and emptiness, as if he had lost something important.

Unable to figure it out, he decided to take a shower to sober himself up.

Even under the shower head, his mind was still restless. Xia Rui's figure lingered in his mind. Her smile, her eyes, and her every move all appeared clearly in front of him.

He gently touched his lips, which seemed to still have the scent of Xia Rui, which made him even more unable to forget it.

After taking a shower, Li Hao lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze until dawn.

Li Hao broke free from his confused thoughts, stood up, washed his face, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to take the bus home.

Along the way, Li Hao kept replaying the scenes of his time with Xia Rui last night in his mind. Every detail was like a movie playing in his mind, making him unable to forget it. He didn't understand why Xia Rui suddenly blocked him, nor did he understand what her feelings for him were.

When she returned home, An Ran was sitting on the sofa watching a French movie. When she heard the door open, she turned around and saw Li Hao walking in with a sad face.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong with you? You look like you are worried about something." An Ran asked curiously.

Li Hao sighed, looked at An Ran, then looked at the sky outside the window, and then said softly: "Ran Ran, I have something to talk to you about."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the balcony. Seeing this, An Ran pressed the pause button on the remote control and followed Li Hao to the balcony.

Li Hao whispered, "Under what circumstances would you block someone?"

An Ran thought for a moment and said, "I've never blocked anyone. I think he must be angry? Or disgusted?"

Li Hao felt bitter.

An Ran asked back: "Did a girl block you?"

Li Hao paused and said, "She kissed me and then blocked me. I don't know what she meant."

An Ran's pupils dilated instantly, and she looked at him in surprise, "Kiss!" After calming down for a while, she asked, "Did anything unpleasant happen between you two?"

Li Hao shook his head.

An Ran frowned, she thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you like her? You have to be sure of your feelings first."

Li Hao hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "I don't know either."

An Ran was slightly stunned, frowned, and said: "When you see her, does your heart beat faster? Do you want to stay with her for a while and get to know her better?"

Li Hao carefully recalled every moment he spent with Xia Rui.

He admitted that his heartbeat did involuntarily speed up last night. Every time he was with her, he felt extremely relaxed and happy. He couldn't tell whether he liked her or not.

An Ran felt that Li Hao was always slow in relationships and it was not easy for him to determine his feelings. She said softly, "Brother Hao, it is indeed difficult to explain things about relationships. But I think if you are really interested in her, you should take the initiative to contact her and ask her what is going on. You can't just guess."

Li Hao nodded.
