Bai Nanshu sighed softly and continued with his work.
Someone suddenly knocked on his office door.
Bai Nanshu immediately looked up. "Come in."
Bai Nanshu himself didn't notice that when he said 'come in', there was a trace of anticipation in his voice that he didn't notice.
When Bai Nanshu saw that it was not Jiujiu, but his secretary, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He lowered his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
The secretary was familiar with Bai Nanshu's temper. When he saw that Bai Nanshu's face had darkened, he instantly knew that Bai Nanshu was in a bad mood. He hurriedly said, "President Bai, Miss Liang just called me to say that she is going on a business trip for a few days. She might not be able to send you any snacks, so she asked me to inform you."
After hearing the words' Miss Liang ', Bai Nanshu's cold heart instantly warmed up, as if it had been soaked in warmth.
Bai Nanshu batted his eyelashes and looked at the secretary. "I got it."
The secretary stood rooted to the ground and looked at Bai Nanshu hesitantly before he said, "President Bai, Miss Liang also asked me to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Bai Nanshu's pupils were extremely dark. When he looked at the secretary quietly, it was as though his eyes were a black hole that was about to suck the secretary into it.
Even though the secretary had been working with Bai Nanshu for more than half a year, he still felt a little apprehensive when Bai Nanshu looked at him like that.
The secretary gulped before he mustered up his courage and said, "Miss Liang asked me to ask you if you missed her since she didn't come today."
Bai Nanshu glanced at the secretary faintly.
The secretary felt goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly said, "I got it." Then, he left in a flash.
Looking at the secretary's back, Bai Nanshu's eyebrows instantly furrowed.
He realized that he really did miss Jiujiu when the secretary asked him that question.
His goal was to make Jiujiu give up on him. However, he realized that Jiujiu was like a weed that had taken root in his heart.
This was truly a headache-inducing realization.
In fact, Jiujiu's business trip only took two days. However, in order to let Bai Nanshu feel the difference between having her and not having her, Jiujiu purposely went out for another five days before returning.
It was Bai Nanshu's first time not seeing Jiujiu for a week.
When she heard Jiujiu's voice, Bai Nanshu felt her heart beating extremely fast.
Bai Nanshu looked at Jiujiu, who was carrying bags of various sizes. Although her expression was serious, she was extremely nervous. "You're here."
Jiujiu grinned at Bai Nanshu. Although she was beautiful, her smile gave off a simple and honest feeling.
Jiujiu put the things in her hands on the coffee table and said to Bai Nanshu with a smile, "I took the opportunity to play outside for a few days. These are the specialties I bought for you and Auntie."
Jiujiu's business trip this time was to Spring City.
Spring City, as the name suggested, was a place where it was like spring all year round. Spring City's specialties were all kinds of fresh flower pancakes.
Jiujiu picked and chose from the specialty shops. After tasting them, she finally picked out the delicious fresh flower pancakes.
Bai Nanshu had been to Spring City before.
However, just like Han Xiaolin, he had gone there to discuss business. He did not care about the local specialties at all. Therefore, he only glanced at Jiujiu's specialties and lost interest.
Bai Nanshu nodded faintly to show that she understood.
Jiujiu thought that Bai Nanshu would be surprised to see her after she had not been back for a week. However, she did not expect Bai Nanshu to be so cold. This did not make sense.
Jiujiu leaned over to Bai Nanshu unhappily. She looked at Bai Nanshu and asked, "Well, I haven't come to see you for so long. Did you miss me?"
"No."
"No way. I haven't been here for so long. How can you not miss me? You're too heartless."
Jiujiu pouted unhappily and continued to mumble, "Well, are you hungry? Do you want some fresh flower pancakes to fill your stomach?"
"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat."
Although Bai Nanshu kept saying that he didn't miss her, he wouldn't have answered such a boring question if it was his usual attitude.
Since Bai Nanshu was willing to answer her questions, it could only mean that Bai Nanshu missed her.
Jiujiu understood Bai Nanshu's arrogant nature. She laughed in her heart. She leaned over to Bai Nanshu and said, "Mr. Bai, are you free tonight? Why don't we have dinner together?"
Bai Nanshu wanted to say that he was not free as usual. However, he changed his mind and said, "Okay."
After getting Bai Nanshu's approval, Jiujiu smiled and said, "I'll go outside and find a restaurant. Let's have hot pot tonight, okay?"
Jiujiu took out her phone and scrolled through the hot pot restaurants nearby. She complained to Bai Nanshu, "Spring City is good, but they don't like spicy food. You have no idea how the hot pot there is. I ordered spicy hot pot with Mr. Han, but it doesn't taste spicy at all. It's so infuriating."
Bai Nanshu was texting his secretary to cancel his plans for the evening when he heard that Jiujiu was having hot pot with Han Xiaolin. He frowned and asked, "Are you close to Mr. Han?"
Jiujiu scrolled through the comments of the hot pot restaurants as she answered Bai Nanshu's question. "We often play games together, so we're close."
"You play games together?"
"Yeah. It's the popular game King of Glory. Mr. Han, Wenger, and I play games together."
"You know Wenger?"
Jiujiu nodded. "Yeah. I got to know Wenger first. He then introduced me to Mr. Han."
Jiujiu said that Wenger introduced Bai Nanshu to Mr. Han as a normal person, but Bai Nanshu felt that something was amiss.
When Bai Nanshu thought about Han Xiaolin's age, she suddenly felt that there was something going on between Jiujiu and Han Xiaolin.
Bai Nanshu looked at Jiujiu's clueless face and sighed in her heart.
She secretly made a decision in her heart.
Bai Nanshu finished her work at around 7: 30 pm last night.
Fortunately, the hot pot restaurant was only a ten-minute walk away, so it didn't take long for them to arrive.
After entering the hot pot restaurant, the two found a small table and sat down. Jiujiu introduced the specialties of the restaurant to Bai Nanshu and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Bai Nanshu was the same as Han Xiaolin. She hadn't eaten hot pot before, so she had no idea what kind of food tasted good. Therefore, she told Jiujiu about her situation and sat to the side.
Jiujiu asked Bai Nanshu how she liked chili, so she ordered a double hotpot.
The side with chili was medium spicy.
After ordering some of the specialty dishes in this restaurant, Jiujiu ordered a few dishes according to her personal preferences and Bai Nanshu's preferences that she learned from Bai Nanshu's mother.
Waiting for the dishes to be served was boring.
