Li Weixi, who had just left the office, did not notice that The Thirteenth Master was acting strangely today. She only focused on walking back to the project team's office. However, before Li Weixi could step into the office, she was stopped in her tracks by a sharp laugh. In an instant, the project team, which had always been quiet, became noisy, mixed with some unpleasant words.
"That paratrooper. When I first heard about her, I thought she would be a powerful character. However, a week has passed since the project was planned, but her computer still only has the beginning."
"That's right, that's right. I don't know who she is. She doesn't feel ashamed. She has no ability at all and her looks are ordinary."
"That's what I'm saying. I don't know how she got to this position with such looks. Could it be that her sugar daddy couldn't stand her and deliberately sent her to our project team to mess with her?"
Several colleagues who would usually fight to the death for a small progress were standing on the same front at this time. They were angrily criticizing Li Weixi, like oppressed migrant workers who were complaining about the landlord's exploitation. No one noticed Li Weixi standing at the door of the office.
"You guys should stop before you go too far. You're usually so good at ordering people around to do chores. Seeing that they don't resist, you're going to climb up the pole? If she really has a backer, none of you will be able to escape. " A lazy female voice retorted them impatiently. Li Weixi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Roman's sleepy eyes. Her face was full of dissatisfaction at being disturbed.
Roman just happened to look up and see Li Weixi standing at the door. She was even more dissatisfied. Her pair of beautiful eyebrows furrowed deeper, as if she was a little angry at Li Weixi's attitude of swallowing her anger. "You've been standing at the door all this time?"
Li Weixi, who was called out, instantly became the focus of the office. For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, who was standing at the door, and she did not know how to respond.
"I …"
Li Weixi blushed and wanted to say something, but the knuckles on the lunch box were a little distorted because of the excessive force. She really wanted to refute these people. It wasn't that she didn't know anything, it was just that she hadn't gotten used to this new job yet. Without anyone to guide her, she could only rely on herself to slowly explore, so she was always slower than her colleagues in the same group. She didn't use anyone to climb up the ladder. She entered the company through the interview fair and square.
But … when she thought of the bed-warming contract with Lin Yi, and how she had sold her body in exchange for her father's safety and the survival of the company … all her courage to speak was crushed. She couldn't refute the doubts of these colleagues, just like she could never dream of having a relationship with Lin Yi. Li Weixi was just Lin Yi's bed-warming pet. How could she have a normal relationship with him?
Looking at the embarrassed Li Weixi, Roman was deeply disappointed by her failure to fight. She stopped looking at Li Weixi and lowered her head to sort out the documents on the table, but she still didn't forget to help her out.
"What are you waiting for? Since you're back, hurry up and get to work. Otherwise, when do you want to get off work? "
Li Weixi, who was immersed in a deep sense of inferiority, was upset and didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her. After hearing Roman's words, she felt as if she had been pardoned. Her tense shoulders relaxed and she immediately returned to her seat.
After such a scene, everyone in the project team, whether they were gossiping or watching the drama, returned to their seats as if nothing had happened. The office returned to its usual tranquility. The noise just now seemed like an illusion.
Although she managed to avoid being interrogated by the crowd, and everyone tacitly agreed not to ask Li Weixi any further, she still felt several pairs of eyes sizing her up from behind throughout the entire afternoon, which made her back tense up.
Li Weixi finally managed to get off work. The moment she stepped out of the company, she finally relaxed a little. A gust of wind blew and made her shiver a little. At this moment, she realized that her back was already soaked in sweat. The tip of her nose itched and she sneezed.
"So dirty." A familiar voice sounded in Li Weixi's ears. She turned around and saw Lin Yi, who was putting on a coat for her, looking at her with disdain.
"You're an adult, but you still don't know how to take care of yourself. Don't you know that the weather will turn cold after work?" Lin Yi didn't know that when he talked to Li Weixi, the number of words he spoke would increase exponentially. He was so domineering that he seemed to be a little naggy.
Li Weixi carefully felt the residual warmth of Lin Yi's body on the coat. Her heart, which was already on the verge of collapse, was shaken again. It was as if the slightest movement would cause her to collapse.
There was a little sweetness in her heart. In order to taste this trace of sweetness, Li Weixi had tasted too much bitterness and astringency. However, before she could savor it more, the company's automatic door opened again. Seeing that they were about to be seen by other colleagues, Li Weixi panicked.
Although Lin Yi didn't like Li Weixi's evasive attitude, he still chose to help Li Weixi avoid being discussed by her colleagues. When he saw the driver stop the car at the entrance, he immediately carried Li Weixi in his arms. When he felt the person in his arms struggling, Lin Yi whispered, "Don't move if you don't want anyone to know who is in my arms."
The coat that Lin Yi put on Li Weixi was wide, so it was impossible to see what she was wearing. After Lin Yi hugged her, he freed one hand to cover her face, only revealing a pair of professional high heels. No matter how curious people were, they couldn't guess who she was.
Li Weixi only felt her vision go dark as she fell into Lin Yi's broad and strong arms. Even though there were ear-piercing screams behind her, she didn't care. She just concentrated on feeling the warmth from Lin Yi's arms and the scent that she was familiar with but didn't dare to get closer to Lin Yi.
At this moment, Li Weixi was so glad that she was lying on her back with her eyes closed. This way, Lin Yi wouldn't see her tear-stained eyes. His warmth was enough to make her fall, but she didn't dare to indulge. If her father wasn't hospitalized, would she still have the right to chase after him?
