Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 109 The CEO’s Cousin in a Workplace Story (22)

Yue Chen has been feeling like everything is going wrong for him lately. First, someone plotted against him and his hand was swollen for a few days. Then, he didn't know what was wrong with Lin Xi, who was always gentle and kind to him. Every time he wanted to get close to her and talk to her, she would act absent-minded. What's even more outrageous is that even when he went to buy a cup of coffee, the clerk would roll his eyes several times, leaving him completely confused.

I wouldn't say that I'm some stunningly handsome guy, but at least I'm a sunny, handsome, stylish guy with broad shoulders, long legs, and a height of 1.8 meters. Every time I go to these stores, the girls throw me flirtatious glances with blushing faces.

Especially the coffee shop downstairs from his studio, he is a frequent customer here. In the past, the staff always treated him with smiles every time he came here, but in the past two days, he didn't know what was wrong with them. Every time he came to buy coffee, they treated him with cold faces. Several times, he saw a sweet-looking waitress rolling her eyes at him secretly, and after rolling her eyes, she whispered something to the people around her, and while talking, she secretly glanced at him, which made him look down at his zipper unconfidently several times.

But as a grown man, he couldn't just go up and confront the girl, so after experiencing several inexplicable cold stares, he had no choice but to hand over the important task of buying coffee every day to his assistant.

On this side, Feifei saw Yuechen leaving, and quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, opened WeChat, and her fingertips flew up and down, and soon a long text was sent out.

"Ding!" Ye Huai's cell phone suddenly rang as he was listening to his subordinates making a quarterly report. The employee who was playing the PPT on it paused. Ye Huai shook his head and motioned for him to continue. He picked up the phone and opened WeChat.

"The latest information is that Yue Chen came alone to buy coffee again today. Including today, Xixi hasn't appeared with him for five days."

A hint of triumphant smile flashed across Ye Huai's dark eyes. He leaned lazily back in his chair, thought for a moment, and replied to the message.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is a little gift from me." After saying that, he transferred a red envelope of 888 yuan.

A few seconds later, the transfer was returned, and Feifei's message followed, "No, no, it's just a piece of cake. What I hate most is people who want to destroy other people's feelings. Don't worry, as long as they show up in our store, I will tell you in time."

Ye Huai paused between his fingers, then replied: "Thank you so much, when Xixi and I make up, we will treat you to a meal together."

This time Feifei did not refuse and replied with a big OK emoticon. Ye Huai waited for a few seconds and confirmed that she had no intention of replying. Then he turned off the phone contentedly and continued to listen to the report.

In the following days, Lin Xi seemed to have finally accepted the reality and stopped avoiding Ye Huai. The relationship between the two returned to its previous harmonious and warm state. However, she didn't know if it was Lin Xi's illusion, but she always felt that Ye Huai was a little too clingy. Not only did he have to pick her up and drop her off to and from get off work every day, he also sent her dozens of WeChat messages every day, reporting his daily schedule in detail.

The assistant changed the green plants in his office, and he wanted to take a photo for Lin Xi, and also to criticize her, "It's not as good as the one you keep at home."

The meal the employee ordered for him wasn't tasty, so he took a photo to send to Lin Xi, "Look at the oil in this dish, it's almost as big as the Pacific Ocean. Your cooking is still the best."

The weather was too hot, so he wanted to take a picture of the sun for Lin Xi. "It's so hot today, let's buy a watermelon when I pick you up in the evening."

The weather has cooled down, and he wants to take a picture of the rain for Lin Xi, "I really don't want to come to the company on a rainy day like this, it's more comfortable to stay at home with you."

Lin Xi couldn't help wondering, as the CEO of a billionaire company, isn't he busy every day? How come he even knew about such trivial things as the cleaning lady cleaning the windows too clean, causing several takeaway boys to almost bump into them?

But I have to say, habit is a terrible thing. In just one month, Lin Xi went from being very uncomfortable with Ye Huai's sticky energy in the beginning to being completely used to his desire to stay with her 24 hours a day.

Even when Ye Huai intentionally or unintentionally made physical contact with her from time to time, she would go from blushing and heartbeating at the beginning to being calm and composed now. Sometimes she would even tease him back and then appreciate his blushing face hidden under the mask of indifference.

Just like this morning, she was waving a spatula in the kitchen to fry eggs, but she suddenly felt a warm body behind her. Then Ye Huai's low and cold voice rang in her ears, "Why did you forget to wear an apron? It would be bad if oil splashed on your clothes."

Lin Xi felt his warm breath on her earlobe and her body trembled. Her hands paused, knowing that this man was being clingy again. It would have been enough to talk normally, but he insisted on getting so close to her and even deliberately talking in her ear, making her ears hot and her breathing a little disordered.

She thought about how this man had been enjoying doing these little actions around her these days, and her face turned red. She also found it a little funny. She rolled her eyes and pretended not to notice Ye Huai's little thoughts. She said lightly, "I was so busy that I forgot. Then you can help me tie it." After that, she silently turned the fire to the lowest level, turned around naturally, opened her arms, and looked like a good baby.

Ye Huai didn't expect her to react like this. He had to do this almost every day during this period, but Lin Xi was shy. Every time, she would either shyly avoid him or angrily wave the spatula to drive him out of the kitchen. After a long time, every time, before he could get close to her, she would run away like a clever rabbit.

Although he also liked to see her blushing and shy look, he felt more disappointed in his heart, because although Lin Xi admitted that day that she liked him, Ye Huai knew very well that it was just the result of Lin Xi's momentary impulse because the time, place, and atmosphere were just right and she had deliberately misled him.

Although she is no longer averse to his approach, she actually still has more of a sense of dependence and trust towards him. Although there is affection between men and women, it is not very deep. At least she has never been like me, wanting to be close to her beloved at any time.

Therefore, today, when he saw Lin Xi no longer resisting his approach and looking at him with bright eyes and opening her arms obediently, his heart moved slightly. He turned around, took the pink apron hanging on the wall and was about to tie it on her.

----

I didn't feel well today, but I forced myself to write a little. If I really can't do it anymore, I will make it up to you guys tomorrow.

Lin Xi's hair had grown to her collarbone. Because she had to cook, she tied it into a loose low ponytail. A few strands of hair that were not tied tightly hung down, sticking to her fair collarbone and shoulders, which made Ye Huai's ears feel hot.

Barely calming himself down, he reached out his hands and first lifted up Lin Xi's hair, then hung the apron straps around her neck, and then was about to tie the belt around her waist. But just as he was about to put his hands around Lin Xi's back, she suddenly stretched out, pulled Ye Huai's hands back, and placed them directly on her lower back.

Ye Huai's body suddenly stiffened, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Xi gently stood on tiptoe, put his hands on the back of Ye Huai's neck, and pulled his head towards him, getting closer and closer.

They were too close, so close that Ye Huai could feel their intertwined breaths. His hands on Lin Xi's lower back trembled slightly, and he subconsciously pulled her closer to him. His narrow eyes stared at Lin Xi, waiting for her next move.

Lin Xi's face was flushed with shyness, but there was an imperceptible sly smile on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes slowly wandered over Ye Huai's cold and restrained face, then she stretched out a hand and gently stroked his face.

Ye Huai in the palm of Lin Xi's hand was like a clingy cat. He leaned against Lin Xi's palm affectionately and rubbed it gently. Lin Xi's heart softened, but he still did not forget his purpose. He stretched out his slender fingers and slowly moved them on his face.

Lin Xi's fingers stroked across his smooth forehead, then slowly moved down across his high nose bridge, and finally stopped ambiguously on his moist thin lips of light crimson. Ye Huai's breath was choked, his throat rolled involuntarily, his eyes became deeper, and even his breathing became a little disordered.

Lin Xi applied a little force, rubbing her fingertips on the thin lips until the light-colored lips were stained a bright crimson color. Then she stopped and, under Ye Huai's expectant gaze, slowly moved her head forward.

Ye Huai's eyelashes trembled slightly and he closed his eyes nervously, but after waiting for a long time, the expected warm touch did not come. He opened his eyes puzzled, but saw that the person who had a blushing face just now now had a sly smile on his face.

Before he could react, the man in front of him suddenly pressed his arms with both hands and broke free from his arms. Then he turned around quickly and picked up the spatula again. "Cousin, the foam from brushing your teeth just now was not cleaned off the corner of your mouth. I wiped it off for you."

Ye Huai: ...

The charming atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant. Ye Huai looked at the man's back, which was obviously happier. He secretly bit his back teeth and wanted to reach out and pull the man into his arms again, but the man turned around and quickly handed a plate to him, "Cousin, the eggs are ready, you can take it over."

She smiled brightly, with her eyes flashing with clever and sly light and shadow, as if nothing had happened. Ye Huai had no place to vent his resentment, and could only resign himself to taking the plate and rolling his eyes at Lin Xi. Lin Xi was completely unaware, and turned around again with a smile and continued to work.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the roadside trees took off their green skirts and put on autumn clothes. The community where Lin Xi and his friends lived was a high-end community of neither too big nor too small. There were many tall ginkgo trees planted in it. In late autumn, the view was golden and beautiful.

However, although ginkgo leaves look good, ginkgo fruits are very smelly. After dinner, Lin Xi took Ye Huai's hand and took a walk in the community. She was hit on the head by a falling ginkgo fruit. It didn't hurt much, but she felt very embarrassed.

Ye Huai smiled and helped her clean the fruit stuck on her hair. He then solemnly assured her that it would not stink at all, and only then did he coax the angry Lin Xi into calm down.

In fact, Lin Xi was not really angry. It was just that after spending these days with Ye Huai, she became a little spoiled by him. She would act like a spoiled child and complain at every turn. However, Ye Huai was happy to see her transformation. After all, compared to the Lin Xi who protected herself with a rebellious appearance but had sadness and panic in her eyes from time to time when they first met, the girl beside him with a bright smile who could show her emotions without restraint was her true appearance.

"There is a dinner party tomorrow night. Please accompany me." Ye Huai gently held Lin Xi's somewhat cold hand in his palm and spoke softly.

"Dinner? What dinner?"

"It's not a formal business dinner. It's just the end of the year, and the heads of companies in H City bring their families together to eat, drink, and socialize." Ye Huai felt that Lin Xi's hands were not so cold anymore, so he took her hand and continued to walk slowly.

After hearing what he said, Lin Xi knew which dinner party it was. In the original plot, it was at this dinner party that Ye Huai met the heroine Su Zimeng, who had quarreled with the hero Lu Yanchen and was left alone by him.

At that time, Su Zimeng was being bullied by several rich girls who liked the male protagonist. She happened to be seen by Ye Huai who was taking a breath outside the venue. He helped the female protagonist and the two became acquainted. Then, Su Zimeng was attracted by the female protagonist's tenacious image of a little white flower and gradually fell in love with her.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi glanced at Ye Huai who looked gentle beside her, snorted softly, and turned her face away. Ye Huai didn't know why she suddenly got angry. He turned her around with a funny look and asked, "Why are you suddenly angry?"

Lin Xi's cheeks were puffed up, like a little squirrel with food hidden in its cheek pouches. She said sourly, "Everyone else brings their partners and family members. What's the point of you bringing me over? A cousin who has no blood relationship with you?"

Ye Huai was startled, as if he didn't expect that she was angry about this. He smiled at first, and then said seriously: "Of course not."

"What is that? A girlfriend?" Lin Xi persisted.

"Marriage partner, fiancée, how about it?" Ye Huai held her shoulders, his tone more firm than ever before.

Lin Xi's expression froze. Looking at the serious expression on his face, her tone was a little vague, "Have you thought about it? After all, ethically we are still... um..." Before she could finish her words, Ye Huai held her face and blocked her mouth.

After a while, Ye Huai reluctantly let go of the panting Lin Xi, his ink-black eyes full of tenderness and love, "Since I was sure it was you, I have never thought of marrying anyone other than you. Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Lin Xi's already rosy lips were even more rosy at this moment, and her face became completely red under Ye Huai's gaze. Her heart was obviously melted into a puddle of water, but she still said unforgivingly: "Humph! Who said I want to marry you? You haven't even proposed yet."

Ye Huai's originally tense body suddenly relaxed after hearing Lin Xi's almost coquettish scolding. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her forehead, "Then when I'm ready, I'll propose to you."
