Chapter 17 Cold Shower

During the meeting the next day, Xiao Zheng froze on the back of his chair and did not dare to move.

Mr. Xie has been staring at him for 10 minutes.

It was obviously not him who spoke today.

He picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip, trying to relax.

However, the moment his lips touched the edge of the cup, the pressure on his body increased in vain, and Xiao Zheng was so frightened that he coughed violently.

The colleague next to me joked: "You are a grown man, how can you use such a girly cup?"

Xiao Zheng held a light pink crystal cup and quickly explained: "This is this year's Chinese Valentine's Day benefit, and it only comes in this color."

Sure enough, after a while, Secretary Zhou came in with more than a dozen light pink crystal cups of the same style.

Xiao Wang suddenly felt the pressure on his body relax.

At this time, the man sitting at the top lowered his long black eyelashes, touched the edge of the cup with his fingertips, and retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.

His handsome face, which was always calm and composed, slowly turned a strange flush.

However, no one paid attention to him today, and everyone looked at the square outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Outside the building, a huge five-meter-wide LCD screen is playing a Chinese Valentine's Day-themed hotel promotional video in a loop.

The man and woman tied together jumped from a high place, and the sound of editing special effects filled the scene with tension.

The scene where Secretary Zhou and Xiao Wang confessed in the air was deliberately slowed down.

Exciting and energizing.

The audience was still immersed in the highlight moment just now, when the camera suddenly changed everything.

In the melodious music, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women were wearing roller skates, holding hands and spinning and dancing.

The man ran his fingers through the woman's smooth black hair, showing a gentle and loving smile, while the woman wrapped her arms around the man's neck, as if kissing.

Finally, the scene freezes at the moment when the couple stares at each other, and the camera gradually zooms out to focus on the plaque of their hotel.

There were rustling discussions in the conference room.

"These two pairs of image ambassadors are a good match."

"Yes, especially Su Luo's pair, that last look in Su's eyes really made my heart beat wildly."

"They can't really be together, can they?"

Xie Xun listened to the noisy sounds around him and left the conference room without saying a word. The door was slammed shut.

The conference room fell silent, and the next second more excited voices sounded.

"I didn't believe the rumors about Mr. Xie and Su Luo before, but now I don't think so."

"...I envy Su Luo so much."

The female colleague’s gossiping voice suddenly choked.

Mr. Xie left and returned, staring at them with a vague look, reaching out to pick up the light pink crystal cup that belonged to him on the table, and turned around to leave again.

Su Luo had no idea that she was envied and jealous by so many female colleagues.

At this time, she was staying in a room with a high temperature of 32 degrees, shaking her hula hoop.

His little face was red from suppressing it, and large beads of sweat flowed down his shoulders and neck, soaking his vest. He was about to suffer from heatstroke.

Twenty minutes later, she turned off the air conditioner and entered the bathroom.

Standing under the showerhead, he gritted his teeth and pressed the blue button.

The bone-piercing cold water hit her skin, cooling her down and even causing bursts of pain.

She bit her lower lip tightly and remained silent. She closed her eyes and endured the cold air entering her body along the dilated pores.

She must be sick tonight.

She had been thinking these past few days. Pretending to be in love with her male partner could indeed bypass Xie Xun's warning line, but it would also invisibly draw the line between Chu and Han.

Through some means of flirting, Xie Xun might be attracted to her, but there was no way to make him open his heart.

Because Xie Xun's pride would not allow him to fall in love with a woman whose heart he belonged to.

And her current infatuated persona is the biggest bug.

Therefore, yesterday she guided him through the story of the bar, implying that the "love" she thought did not actually exist.Obviously, Xie Xun interpreted his understanding in another way.

All she had to do now was to let him see her being seriously injured by Wu Haotian at tonight's banquet, so that she could completely distance herself from Wu Haotian.

When the time comes, if she drags her scarred heart to seek healing from him, she won't leave the impression that she has changed her mind.

Five minutes later, Su Luo returned to the bed trembling all over, huddled in the bed and swayed with heat and cold.

She resisted the urge to turn on the air conditioner and reached out to dial the phone.

After a few beeps, the phone was picked up.

"Lin Rou, it's me..."

At around six o'clock in the evening, a melodious melody sounded from the central lake of the hotel, and a luxurious band of more than [-] people was sitting under the tree playing.

Next to the dazzling buffet, nearly a thousand bottles of champagne were arranged in a pyramid shape, reflecting a pale yellow halo in the bright lights.

Luxury cars drove into the parking lot, and the celebrities, rich and young, who came together stopped in front of the sign-in display board, leaving complicated and gorgeous names.

Women competed like walking on a red carpet, showing off their dresses in the flashing lights.

Some people even started live broadcasts to interact with fans.

Dozens of reporters stood guard at the entrance, recording the highlight moments of celebrities from all walks of life.

At seven o'clock, the Qixi Festival banquet officially began.

Amid people's jubilant cheers, tens of thousands of lavender and white hydrogen balloons rose into the night sky.

And Su Luo finally sent the last wave of guests into the venue.

She was wearing an apricot pink cheongsam, and she was wearing seven centimeter high heels. She always had a light smile on her face, and her pale face was covered up by decent makeup.

Looking along the center of the banquet, Xie Xun, dressed in a British-style suit, was surrounded by people who were cheering for each other.

There was a distant smile on his face, but there was a hint of fatigue in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Did you not sleep well last night?

Su Luo found Xiao Wang in the buffet barbecue area. Seeing that the floor was covered with moon-white brocade, she simply kicked off her high heels and sat on the floor in a leisurely manner.

There was a red-hot wire mesh placed on the simple charcoal stove, with more than a dozen large oily skewers lying on it, and sparks jumping from time to time.

Xiao Wang was poured water vigorously by the spicy hissing, and at the same time vigorously sprinkled chili powder on the meat skewers.

Su Luo suddenly envied her.

Xiao Wang's biggest worry every day is thinking about what to eat next meal, whether his salary has increased, and all his thoughts are directly reflected in his eyes.

Just as she was thinking, a piece of pork belly wrapped with lettuce was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.

Logically speaking, she had a fever and wouldn't have much appetite.

But as you chew, the charred meat slices burst into rich gravy in your mouth, instantly arousing your taste buds, and the greasiness that was about to appear was neutralized by the refreshing taste of lettuce.

"Delicious, right?"

Xiao Wang looked at Su Luo with a smile, looking for praise.

Su Luo gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "It's very good. I didn't expect you to have a talent for cooking."

Xiao Wang raised his head with a proud look on his face and acted coquettishly towards her.

"You can pack one for me too."

The girl's bangs were combed, and her big grape eyes looked at her expectantly.

Su Luo can't refuse Xiao Wang, just like she can't ignore Lin Rou, both of them make her feel good, but they are completely different.

If Xiao Wang's purity is what Su Luo has always longed for, then the fragility under Lin Rou's outer shell seems to make her see her past self.

Su Luo sat up on her knees, took out a disinfectant wipe and wiped her hands.

Pick up a piece of green lettuce leaf from the basin and wrap it with a piece of meat that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

However, as soon as she stretched out her hand in the air, she was forced to turn in another direction, and there was a moist feeling on her fingertips.
