"What? Cocktail party? Ye Xiaojing never expected that on the first day she returned to Guan's work, Guan Wenxiang would assign her such a task.

"What's the problem?" Guan Wenxiang frowned, he didn't expect Ye Xiaojing's reaction to be so big.

"Uh--President, Secretary He, I mean-" Ye Xiaojing slurred.

Guan Wenxiang intercepted and said: "Of course Secretary He will also go, if you don't understand anything, you can ask her." ”

"Uh-good!"

"Is this really possible? I think it's better to go buy one! Ye Xiaoman looked at her sister in an old-fashioned dress in the mirror and couldn't help frowning.

The dress was left by their mother.

"I don't think so, right? Anyway, I'm just a little assistant, and I won't be noticeable. Ye Xiaojing lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around.

It was really out of place for her, but she couldn't buy a new one because of it, and she had already gone to the store after work, where the cheapest dresses cost tens of thousands, which was almost a month's salary for her sister.

"But—"

"It's really okay, sister! I'm a little big with this dress, but it's good to change it! ”

When Ye Xiaojing appeared in front of Yue Lei wearing the skirt that looked like a medieval dress, Yue Lei was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall.

"Hello Mr. Yue!"

The ill-fitting clothes already made Ye Xiaojing uncomfortable, and Yue Lei's surprised expression made her want to find a crack to get into.

"Miss Ye's outfit today is very distinctive!" Yue Lei finally held back his laughter, and said with a teasing tone.

But after taking a closer look, Yue Lei had to admit that even wearing such outdated clothes could not hide her natural noble temperament.

"Mr. Yue—"

Yue Lei's good-natured teasing made Ye Xiaojing speechless.

"May I ask what's going on?" Seeing her embarrassment, Yue Lei spoke a little more seriously.

"The president asked me to attend the cocktail party held by Mingxin Enterprise tonight!"

"That's right! But wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to wear such clothes to a drinking party? Yue Lei, who is accustomed to all kinds of banquet scenes, of course knows what kind of laughing stock she will become if she really dresses like this.

"But I-" Ye Xiaojing lowered her head, she also knew that she was really terrible dressed like this.

Seeing Ye Xiaojing's embarrassed appearance, in fact, he has also heard some rumors in the Guan family these days, it seems that this girl's family background is indeed as rumored, otherwise she would not have suffered injustice.

Yue Lei sighed slightly in his heart, but a sunny smile appeared on his face: "If Miss Ye doesn't dislike it—"

He didn't say any more, but reached out and made a "please" motion.

"Isn't this dress too expensive?" In the boutique that Yue Lei brought her, Ye Xiaojing looked at the sky-high numbers on the sign and stuck out her tongue in fright.

"Without the foil of Miss Ye's appearance, no matter how expensive the clothes are, they can't reflect its value!" Complimenting girls is what Yue Lei is best at.

"Thank you!"

Ye Xiaojing blushed and thanked Yue Lei, she was really not used to others praising her like this.

However, although the white dress on her body was beautiful, it seemed that something was wrong.

Yue Lei also seemed to have noticed this, and took off a silver off-the-shoulder suit from the shelf: "Miss Ye, why don't you try this one again?" ”

"No need!"

Before Ye Xiaojing could speak, a cold voice had already taken over her.

"Hey, why are you here too?" Guan Wenxiang's sudden appearance seemed to surprise Yue Lei.

Guan Wenxiang didn't answer Yue Lei's question, he walked straight to the hanger, took off a light purple short-sleeved dress and handed it to the waitress: "Wrap it up for me!" ”

After throwing the shopping bag into Ye Xiaojing's arms, Guan Wenxiang walked out the door without looking back.

"Wait!" Yue Lei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Do you know that she must be suitable for this one?" ”

Guan Wenxiang ignored him, but turned to Ye Xiaojing and said, "Don't move too slowly, I'll wait for you outside!" ”

"Uh-yes!"

Ye Xiaojing looked at Yue Lei awkwardly, but Yue Lei waved his hand indifferently, indicating that it didn't matter.

Changing back into ordinary clothes, Ye Xiaojing hurriedly went out with a shopping bag, and in a hurry, she didn't notice the interesting gaze cast by Yue Lei behind her.

Guan Wenxiang didn't know what was wrong with him, when he accidentally saw Yue Lei and Ye Xiaojing talking and laughing together in the office, he felt very uncomfortable. Even when they left together, he even put down his work and quietly followed.

And Ye Xiaojing's blushing smiling face in the clothing store made him even more angry, and he pushed open the door and walked in without thinking about it-

Alas, he must have been too tired from work to be so inexplicable! In the carriage, Guan Wenxiang held his forehead with one hand and thought with a headache.

"President?" Ye Xiaojing tapped on the window glass.

Guan Wenxiang opened the car door, and Ye Xiaojing sat in with a shopping bag.

Along the way, Guan Wenxiang kept his face calm and didn't speak, and Ye Xiaojing looked at him carefully, not understanding where he had provoked him. At this time, the car suddenly stopped, and she heard Guan Wenxiang say in a hoarse voice: "It's here, get out of the car!" ”

Ye Xiaojing opened the car door and said softly: "Thank you!" ”

Guan Wenxiang turned his head to look at her when he heard the sound, Ye Xiaojing was embarrassed and was about to get out of the car, but heard Guan Wenxiang say: "If you are grateful because of that dress, you don't have to!" ”

"Huh?"

Ye Xiaojing was stunned, but heard Guan Wenxiang say again: "Remember not to be late at night!" ”

"Got it!"

The spacious hall is brightly lit, the low-hanging crystal chandeliers cast a perfect silhouette on the walls, and the exquisite oil paintings on the walls highlight the owner's good taste.

The air here was filled with the smell of fine perfume and champagne, and Ye Xiaojing walked cautiously, trying not to make her steps look unusual. All around her were gentlemen and ladies in noble dresses.

Ye Xiaojing has never experienced such a scene since she was born, although there are many people in the hall, none of them are known to her, when she came out of the dressing room, Guan Wenxiang has long since disappeared, and Secretary He is nowhere to be seen.

When Yue Lei saw her, she was standing in a corner nervously, like Cinderella who had been magically transformed into a princess but didn't know it.

"I have to admit, this dress really suits you perfectly!" After dressing up, Ye Xiaojing's whole body exuded an unexpected and amazing beauty, which made Yue Lei lose his mind for a while.

"Mr. Yue, are you here too?" Meeting someone she knows on such an occasion is really a great comfort for Ye Xiaojing, because she really doesn't know what to do now.

"Miss Ye is so beautiful tonight! Can I have the pleasure of inviting you to a dance? ”

A light purple floor-length skirt just sets off her delicate and pure temperament, mellow but noble. She looks like a famous lady who has been raised in the boudoir, and she doesn't look like a girl from a poor family at all.

But Yue Lei's request made Ye Xiaojing embarrassed, and she said hesitantly: "Mr. Yue, I, can I not dance?" ”

Yue Lei thought she was just shy, so he said, "If Miss Ye is afraid of not being skilled, let's choose a slower tune!" He listened to the song that had just been played, "Like this now, how's it?" ”

"This, I-" She has never been good at rejecting others, and Yue Lei is so attentive that she really doesn't know what to do.

"What others don't want to do, you better not force it!" Guan Wenxiang came to them at some point.

"As long as something goes wrong with Miss Ye, you seem to be able to show up in time!" Yue Lei looked at him with a very meaningful gaze.

"I just can't get used to seeing people show mercy like a butterfly!" Guan Wenxiang spoke-for-tat and unceremoniously.

Yue Lei raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but a sharp voice suddenly interjected: "Mr. Yue, don't be deceived by some people's seemingly innocent appearance!" ”

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, and it turned out to be Huang Meiying.

Yue Lei smiled lazily: "Why is Miss Huang so angry?" ”

"Mr. Yue, I sincerely want to persuade you, this woman seems to be very innocent, but in fact, her scheming is better than anyone else."

"Miss Huang, you-" Ye Xiaojing felt very aggrieved in her heart, she didn't understand why Huang Meiying targeted her like this.

Huang Meiying interrupted her sharply: "You are not qualified to talk to me!" ”

Yue Lei still looked indifferent: "Miss Huang, how can you see it?" ”

Huang Meiying is bent on provoking a conflict between Guan Yue and the two: "She has been desperately slapping Guan Wenxiang, and now she must have another intention to entangle you, Mr. Yue, let me tell you, she is simply a watery Yanghua and a shameless woman!" ”

"Shut up!" Before Yue Lei could speak, Guan Wenxiang had already shouted angrily.

"Wen Xiang, I'm also for your good, you should see the true face of this woman today, right?" Huang Meiying made a pitiful look.

"The one who let me see my true face is you!" Guan Wenxiang looked at her with disdain, "You once again made me realize how despicable, shameless, and uncultivated you are!" ”

"You! ――”

Huang Meiying trembled with anger, but Guan Wenxiang didn't look at her again, and strode away without looking back.

And at this moment, Yue Lei had already gone to a quiet corner with Ye Xiaojing. Ye Xiaojing lowered her head, her shoulders twitched constantly, and she tried not to let the tears that filled her eyes flow out.

Yue Lei was like a brother, gently patted her shoulder, and said in a soft tone: "If you want to cry, cry, it will be better to cry!" ”

Ye Xiaojing couldn't bear it anymore, threw herself into Yue Lei's arms and sobbed in a low voice.

When Guan Wenxiang found them, he saw such a scene: Ye Xiaojing snuggled up to Yue Lei's arms softly, and Yue Lei coaxed her in a very gentle tone.

In an instant, Guan Wenxiang felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something heavy, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Forcing himself not to look at them again, he turned abruptly and left silently.
