When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and An Xiaoxi hadn't slept without distraction like this for a long time, and I felt very satisfied.

When I opened my phone, I found more than 30 missed calls and hundreds of unread messages in my mailbox.

Her neck was sore, and she could only shake her head, trying to relieve the pressure on her shoulders.

By the time things were dealt with one by one, it was already past nine o'clock in the night. An Xiaoxi found out that the water and rice had not been eaten for a day. Workaholism is contagious, and Qiao Wenhan successfully passed on the problem of workmania to her.

It wasn't until I was busy with the work at hand that I felt that hunger was real.

If you don't eat for a long time, your blood sugar will be low and you will get dizzy easily. An Xiaoxi ordered room service and asked the waiter to deliver the food directly to the room.

She eats a chocolate bar to maintain her blood sugar levels and avoid fainting before the food is delivered.

"Secretary Qin, has Mr. Qiao ever come to my hotel?"

An Xiaoxi was surprised to see the news photos of Qiao Wenhan carrying her princess to the hotel. But there is no trace of Qiao Wenhan in this room.

"Yes, Mr. Qiao also went to Kuala Lumpur before, and happened to stay in the same hotel as you, seeing that you were sleeping in the car, he dropped you off in the guest room, because he was going on a business trip to the UK, he left early this morning, and he didn't have time to say hello to you."

Secretary Qin followed Qiao Wenhan's instructions and said very seriously. An Xiaoxi didn't doubt it either.

It took more than ten hours to fly from Kuala Lumpur to London, and she knew that Qiao Wenhan could not get through on the phone, so she did not ask further.

When the waiter brought the meal, An Xiaoxi was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. But if you eat too much at once, your stomach will be upset.

Reason told her that she needed to chew slowly, but her appetite stopped her and made her gobble it up.

On the balcony, the warm breeze is smoky, and An Xiaoxi is immersed in the beautiful night view of the southern country. Kuala Lumpur is so beautiful and bustling. Rows of commercial streets, high-end shopping malls, is a paradise for shopaholics.

If she was last year, she would have wanted to shop here and splurge to her heart's content.

But when she became the head of a company, her understanding of money changed.

Money is so fascinating, how many people have broken up their wives to get it, and how many people have broken their families in order to fight for it. Don't be seduced by money, and don't lose your heart because of the material temptation brought by money.

In the past few days of working hard in the food circle, An Xiaoxi has slowly understood a more profound truth.

Not far away, the night market stalls are brightly lit. I don't know if it's because the food just now is unappetizing, or if I haven't eaten for too long and I'm worried about indigestion. An Xiaoxi ate very little, but was attracted by the night market street not far away.

Dressed in a casual vacation attire, An Xiaoxi went out with light makeup, wanting to change her mood. After many days of devoting herself to work, she hadn't done a good shopping trip for a long time.

She always jokes to herself: the more she lives, the more she looks like a man.

Although the jewelry made by craftsmen is not delicate enough and the materials are not expensive enough, there is a trace of simple beauty. Wearing a hairpin, the rustic charm without excessive decoration complements An Xiaoxi's dress today.

There are those who sell barbecue, fruits, and juices in the night market. An Xiaoxi casually walked into a seafood barbecue restaurant to experience the local night market food in Kuala Lumpur.

A year ago, her life began to change from a terrible night market stall.

A year later, she became the head of a multi-billion dollar food conglomerate.

Fate flows, maybe the Cinderella in the fairy tale is her.

An Xiaoxi smiled bitterly when she thought of Cinderella's story. Qiao Wenhan is not a prince, Qiao Wenhan knows how to use her value to serve him. And Cinderella can win the prince's favor as long as she uses love and beauty.

What's more, Cinderella herself is a child of a rich family, but she was bullied by her evil stepmother and sisters, so she fell into that step.

An Xiaoxi's own biological parents don't know where they are, and an older brother ran out halfway, although he is also quite business-minded and worth billions. But if you think about it carefully, the truth is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

No one can say for sure whether Leo is her brother or not.

The results of DNA testing are not 100% true. As long as it is something that can be manipulated artificially, An Xiaoxi is used to putting a question mark in his heart.

Eating the red curry crab, An Xiaoxi's appetite was activated.

From time to time, I will come to such a place to take a walk and take a look, and remind myself not to forget where I came from.

Cinderella also has a twelve-o'clock spell, and when the time comes, the fine costumes disappear, the jewels disappear, and they will be beaten back to their original shape. An Xiaoxi no longer reminds himself all the time that everything he has gained today is purely accidental, and the component of his struggle is very small.

If you climb high, you will fall hard.

She also has to plan for herself. Although Qiao Wenhan is good, Qiao Wenhan's goodness is too mysterious, and there are a lot of work that she is doing in secret, and she doesn't want to ask more, for fear that she won't be able to bear it.

Sometimes, it's also good to know only the surface of a person.

"Boss, give me two more skewers of grilled squid."

An Xiaoxi's appetite has fully recovered, and sure enough, only such a slum is the most suitable for her.

"Miss, your grilled squid."

The boss diligently delivered food, and it was the first time he had seen such a beauty as An Xiaoxi in his life. It's not so glamorous, but it's very pure and moving, just like an idol star on TV.

"Thank you."

An Xiaoxi ate happily and didn't care at all, the boss glanced at her from time to time.

"Are you coming to Kuala Lumpur on your holiday?"

The boss talked to An Xiaoxi intentionally or unintentionally, and An Xiaoxi focused on the food, so he didn't think much about it.

"Yes, go out alone."

"Then why don't you take you to a famous local private restaurant, where the seafood is much better than ours?"

An Xiaoxi smiled and said thank you, and politely declined his invitation.

The boss smiled and brought her two more skewers of grilled squid.

"For you, beautiful girl."

An Xiaoxi hasn't eaten yet, and he wanted to go to other stalls to hunt for treasures, but this is good, the boss himself sent a free gift to the door. An Xiaoxi thanked the boss and began to feast.

As I ate it, I felt that it didn't taste right. It's not as fragrant as it was just now. People are always like this, the food at the beginning must be better than the one at the back. The best part of ice cream is also the first bite.

With a "bang", An Xiaoxi lay directly on the table.

The owner of the small stall smiled obscenely.

……

Two men were about to help An Xiaoxi up, one of them was the little boss just now, and the other was the young man in his shop.

"Hey! Be careful, idiot! It's not worth it if it hurts! ”

The young man didn't pay attention, An Xiaoxi's snow-white arm was almost scratched by his fingernails, and then he was scolded by the boss for slashing his head and covering his face.

"Hey! Boss Peng, it's new, superb! Absolutely superb! ”

That lewd night market stall owner, talking to another phone in broken English. It's fake that they opened a shop, and it's real that they kidnap girls. Most of the girls were sold to the red-light district of Pattaya, Thailand, where they were imprisoned to pick up customers, and lived a miserable life in the dark.

Crazy, suicidal, countless.

An Xiaoxi was lying on the greasy sofa, which was the second-story attic behind the night market stall, the owner's private residence.

Before the effects of the drug dissipated, An Xiaoxi fell asleep deeply, unaware of the danger slowly approaching when she lost consciousness.

"The goods are good! The goods are definitely good! How? Boss Peng doesn't believe it, I'll bring it over now, you can inspect the goods first! ”

Hanging up the phone, the shopkeeper laughed obscenely. Next, An Xiaoxi will fall into the pain of no return.

"Knock knock" There was a quick knock downstairs.

The boss asked the young man to answer the door, but there was no response for a long time.

So I tiptoed out to check it out. His little attic is very old, and there is no light at the staircase, so he can only rely on the flashlight of his mobile phone to illuminate it.

"Who? It's so late! ”

The boss walked to the door and glanced around, but found no suspicious characters.

With a "bang" when he turned around, he was knocked to the ground by a heavy object, and his little buddy and the two of them were lying neatly on the floor, and the two of them with big bellies were like two pomfret fish that had just been caught.

The mysterious man didn't say a word superfluous. Escaping a handkerchief to wipe his hands, he walked straight to the second floor. carried An Xiaoxi back to the seat of the night market stall just now, waiting for her to wake up naturally.

The medicinal power was finally dissipated, and An Xiaoxi felt that her whole body ached, as if she had been beaten.

The night market stall owner was nowhere to be seen, and after a few calls, no one answered.

An Xiaoxi put the money on the table and pressed it with a plate, thinking that they should see it.

A kind-hearted person will not be treated gently by the world. If this mysterious man hadn't appeared, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Fortunately, An Xiaoxi can't remember this thrilling encounter at all.

When I returned to the hotel, I found that I had a bruise on my elbow, and I was still wondering when it was injured.

……

"How's it going?"

It was getting dark, and Leo was standing on the balcony, facing the sea, cigarette after cigarette.

The white smoke rings were hidden in the pre-dawn darkness, and no one could escape the darkness of the night. No one dares to say that they will usher in the light.

The voice on the other end of the line was noisy, and Leo went back to the house and put on his headphones.

The door was closed with a "bang", and the remaining ash of the ashtray was shaken off, crisp and neat.

"Keep up with her, I don't want anything to happen to her. All you have to do is protect her and don't arouse her suspicions, there are other tasks, and I will inform you. ”

It has been more than half a year since he secretly sent people to protect An Xiaoxi.

Since knowing that An Xiaoxi was his sister Yunxin, Leo's tense heart was soothed a lot.

There are fewer days to forcibly boost my spirits by smoking, and I sleep much better than before. For more than 20 years, he has always kept his eyes open until dawn, taking only a little time to nap and reduce fatigue.

Now, he occasionally sleeps four or five hours, because he has a sister around, and he is not alone. With concern, there is the desire to survive, and there is the greed to live one more minute.

If An Xiaoxi is Cinderella, then Leo is a black knight. Appeared with an evil force, but unswervingly protected her.

This love is the fetters of family affection.
