Chapter Eighty-Eight: Trapped by Love
It was not difficult for Li Xianning to notice Pei Ruoxue's nervousness and crampedness, and a pair of smoke eyes examined her face, and Pei Ruoxue was even more embarrassed, "President......"
Constantly swallowing his throat to hide the panic in his heart, his hand tried to break free.
"Secretary Pei, it seems that you got off work earlier than usual today?" Li Xianning suddenly said such a sentence, which made Pei Ruoxue more and more nervous, when she was working overtime, the president was not in the office, how would he know if she got off work earlier than usual today?
Was this telling her...... Even if he is not in the company, he knows exactly what the employees are doing.
"Hmm...... I have something to do today......" Obviously it is her personal time, but Pei Ruoxue replied a little weakly. Li Xianning is usually not a boss who gives people a sense of oppression, but now, she is inexplicably scared in her heart.
"Secretary Pei, do you have an appointment?"
Li Xianning said unhurriedly, letting go of her hand, but it didn't seem to be planning to let her go so soon.
This is her private matter, and she should have the right to refuse to answer, right? Pei Ruoxue's heartbeat jumped faster minute by minute, "President, if there is nothing else to do......"
"Stay with me." He spoke, and his tone seemed to carry it for granted.
At this moment, a sense of extreme loneliness and loneliness filled Li Xianning's heart, as if he urgently needed to find someone to fill the vacancy in his heart and dispel his boredom.
"Ah......" Pei Ruoxue exclaimed, this proposal is too ...... Too...... Embarrassing, right?
"President, I'm sorry, I'm ......"
"Didn't you just say that if you have something on your mind, ask a friend out to meet and have a chat that is more resolute than smoking?" Li Xianning picked up what Pei Ruoxue had just said.
"Yes...... But ......" she always replied at a speed half a beat slower than Li Xianning, and Li Xianning interrupted her words, "Let's go!" Come with me for a drink. For the first time, regardless of whether the other party was in trouble, he commanded domineeringly.
Pei Ruoxue stood in place in a daze, not knowing how to make a choice! If you don't go...... offended the immediate superior; If she goes, her hard-won date with her boyfriend will be in vain again.
Just when she was hesitating and hesitating, Li Xianning had already pulled Pei Ruoxue to go to AMAX with her......
It was clear that he and Tong Mai met first, but Huo Yize took the lead! Even after all these years, how he has paid without asking for anything in return, she has always rejected him, Li Xianning doesn't know what point he is inferior to Huo Yize?
Pei Ruoxue, who was dragged to AMAX by Li Xianning, sat opposite him, quietly watching him drinking alone, and her fidgeting was revealed in her quietness......
Although Li Xianning's eyes did not fall on her, he noticed the discomfort on her face, and just deliberately ignored it.
"Ring, ring, ring, ......" Pei Ruoxue's mobile phone ringed again, this is the sixth time that the mobile phone rings tonight! Pei Ruoxue didn't need to look at the caller ID to know that it must be her boyfriend calling!
Again, like the last few times, she pressed the reject button and sent a text message to her boyfriend: Applejack, you wait for me, I have something to do.
I didn't mean to cheat on my boyfriend, I just didn't want him to worry about me, and if she said that she was with the president of their company, Applejack would not only be worried, but she would be jealous.
"Don't you dare answer the phone in front of me? Did your boyfriend call? Li Xianning raised his eyebrows, knowing that he had ruined Secretary Pei's appointment, he still chose to continue to "destroy", and now he wanted someone to be by his side to relieve his loneliness.
Pei Ruoxue bit her lip slightly, her cheeks were crimson, and the flickering light was projected on his face, as if there was a hint of coquettishness in an instant, "Hmm......" she nodded.
Not long after, a text message came from the mobile phone: Pei Ruoxue, if you don't arrive within half an hour, we will break up, and you can do it yourself.
Pei Ruoxue's boyfriend was furious, and he knew that he was very angry at a glance!
"President, I'll call you back." This time, without Li Xianning's permission, she had already left anxiously and went into the bathroom.
"Applejack, I'm sorry, I really have something to do, just be considerate of me! Don't be offended! I'll be back shortly! After Pei Ruoxue got through the phone, she hurriedly spoke.
There was her boyfriend's angry cursing on the other end of the phone, which almost deafened Pei Ruoxue's ears! However, before she could continue to speak, there was already a hang-up sound of "toot", Pei Ruoxue's face turned pale instantly, and when she dialed it back, the other party had already turned off directly.
"Oops! I'm going to die this time......" Pei Ruoxue scratched his head irritably, unusually anxious, and when he returned to the place where he was sitting with Li Xianning, he was obviously a little drunk, his face was flushed, and his eyes were very confused.
At the same time, Li Xianning's eyes when he looked at Pei Ruoxue were a little wrong, and he just looked at her without saying too much......
President...... Let's go back...... It's not too early......" she swallowed, but this time she really had to go back! Otherwise, the relationship between her and her boyfriend will be goodbye.
After a pause, Li Xianning didn't seem to have any intention of staying here, even if he didn't want to go back at all now, but he couldn't be too selfish and only take care of his own feelings.
"Let's go!"
When he got up, Li Xianning's steps staggered slightly, "Be careful, president!" Pei Ruoxue was really scared by him! If he falls here, how will she carry him back?
"Don't worry, I'm fine! Don't make a fuss! Li Xianning opened her mouth lightly, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her lips, as if to appease her.
Pei Ruoxue finally stepped forward to support him, and at close range, she saw Li Xianning's handsome and flawless cheeks clearly, his handsomeness tended to be a perfect handsomeness, exquisite facial features, and almost no flaws, as if it was carefully created for him by God.
Such a beautiful face makes Pei Ruoxue, who is not outstanding in appearance, look extremely inferior in front of him! There are really men in the world who are more beautiful than women! There is sunshine in the ointment, not feminine...... Perhaps, such men are the easiest to attract women's attention and arouse their heartbeats.
However, Pei Ruoxue is very self-aware, she will not be eager to have a leg with her boss like other secretaries! Ordinary, ordinary love is the most suitable for him, although at this time supporting Li Xianning, her heartbeat is so fast, jumping as much as possible, but she will not have the luxury of having anything to do with him......
"Secretary Pei......" He is still calling her in the same tone as he is going to work.
"Yes, President, give me the car keys, you are waiting for me here, I will drive you over." If she had helped him to the parking lot, she would have been so tired that she would have fallen down, and where would she have the strength to drive him back.
Li Xianning's head was dizzy, but he was still conscious, he vaguely heard Pei Ruoxue's voice clearly, so he began to grope in his pocket......
"President, you're waiting here! Don't go away...... "After Pei Ruoxue got the car key, she hurriedly walked towards the parking lot!
AMAX is his industry, he doesn't come often, the security guards who have been replaced don't know Li Xianning at all, his body is leaning on one side, even if he is drunk now, the figure of Tong Mai in his mind is still lingering.
"Why...... Tong Mai, you are actually cruel to me...... "This is the first time, after getting drunk, Li Xianning complained to Tong Mai, no matter what, he had never complained about her before.
It's not that he doesn't know that Tong Mai has always had Huo Yize in his heart, so he refuses to accept him, he can understand this, but ...... Tong Mai lied to him, and he felt hurt and bitter water in his stomach.
He was willing to tell him generously that she was with Huo Yize now, maybe he was not so sad and sad.
"President, get in the car!" A moment later, Pei Ruoxue had already gotten out of the car and helped him in as the co-pilot. Fortunately, she can still drive, and the secretary should be all-rounder.
"President, the address of your house is ......" She never knew where Li Xianning lived.
"Drive as you like, and go wherever you go." He intuitively didn't want to go back to the villa, and it was cold to return to the villa, so it was better to go out for a ride and wake up his very unconscious head.
Hearing this, Pei Ruoxue was quite surprised, "Ah...... isn't it?"
"President, it's late! You're drunk again, I'll take you home! "It's enough to go out for a ride in the middle of the night! And now she is in a hurry to go home and explain it to Applejack.
Li Xianning stopped talking, his eyes were closed, as if he didn't want to say where he lived at all, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, "Secretary Pei, have you ever loved someone?" ”
After Pei Ruoxue heard his sad words, she finally understood the reason why he was sad and sad today. It turned out to be trapped by love......
However, when a proud son like Li Xianning could be sad, she occasionally heard from other secretaries that the president loved a certain woman, but she didn't mean it at that time, and didn't pay much attention, it seems that the rumors are true.
Li Xianning's cheeks with his eyes closed were full of sadness, "I used to think that I could continue to love like this forever, even if she didn't give me a response, even if she still couldn't accept me...... Someday...... She will be tempted to stay by my side. ”
However, his thinking was always just a thought.
President...... I don't think it's a way for you to borrow wine to drown your sorrows! I think it's better for you to make it clear in person, don't hide it in your heart! ”
Pei Ruoxue cautiously suggested, although she has a boyfriend, she can't handle her own emotional problems well, how to be someone's counselor?
For a long time, Pei Ruoxue was waiting for Li Xianning's answer, but he didn't respond for a long time, poked his arm gently, seemed to be asleep, and looked closer to the corner of his eye......
Pei Ruoxue's heart tensed instantly, and she stared at the tears on the edge of Li Xianning's eyes......
