Chapter 315: Chapter 313: Automatically Imagine a 100,000-word Essay About the Boss
And Zhenzhen also found it strange, if it were under normal circumstances when facing someone as rigid as Wenqing, she would have snapped at them in a heartbeat!
But peculiarly, she never snapped at Wenqing.
Zhao Xi’s mind seemed to light up in an instant!
He suddenly looked at Song Sinian with a bit of excitement, "Sir, is it possible that the second young master of the Xia Family likes Zhenzhen?"
"..."
Song Sinian suddenly fell silent.
Because his understanding of the word "like" was limited only to Lu Zhaozhao.
When Zhao Xi said that Wenqing liked Zhenzhen, he could understand the literal meaning.
But emotionally, he felt nothing.
So his look toward Zhao Xi seemed to ask, "And then?"
Having followed Song Sinian for so long, Zhao Xi obviously understood what he meant.
So, he seriously explained again, "It’s just... the second young master of the Xia Family likes Zhenzhen, and it’s very possible that the feeling is mutual, although this is just my personal speculation."
"..."
"Uh... Sir, you just mentioned that the second young master of the Xia Family had a strange expression just now, could it be that he’s worried you might guess his thoughts?" Zhao Xi could only analyze up to this point.
After all, he was not the person involved, and his thought process was limited.
Hearing this, Song Sinian understood.
If Wenqing liked Zhenzhen and Zhenzhen liked Wenqing, then if the two of them were together, they wouldn’t have time to compete with him for Zhaozhao, right?
Song Sinian’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Zhao Xi, look into the work in Legal Department and try to get those two together."
Zhao Xi’s eyes widened suddenly.
Was their boss suddenly enlightened?
Was he actually starting to help his big cousin snag a partner?
Zhao Xi was incredibly moved, indeed their boss, since marrying his wife, had become more and more like a human with feelings.
Indeed, their lady boss was the best!
Song Sinian didn’t see Zhao Xi’s expression and after pondering for a moment, added, "Try to give them chances to be alone."
"Okay~"
...
Meanwhile, Wenqing, who had no idea of the plans being made, had already returned to the office with the gown.
His gaze lingered on the evening gown on the desk for a moment, then he picked up the desk phone and dialed the internal line.
"Assistant Xu, could you come here a moment?"
Soon, Zhenzhen pushed the door open and walked in.
Her gaze casually swept over Wenqing’s figure, and thinking of the recent days they had spent together, Zhenzhen had noticeably relaxed a lot.
Wenqing was earnest about his work and didn’t make things difficult for her.
During their last business trip together, he had even shielded her from drinking.
She always felt that their relationship, compared to that of superior and subordinate, was quite good.
She was now under the protection of Zhaozhao, so Wenqing would take extra care of her.
Thinking this way, the woman felt significantly more at peace.
Perhaps, this was a good thing for her.
As long as she could see him, she felt every day was wonderful.
As for the future, she no longer wanted to think about it.
"Zhenzhen?"
"Hmm?" Zhenzhen came back to her senses and finally heard Xia Wenqing calling her.
She hurriedly looked up, just meeting Xia Wenqing’s gaze, "Xia, Second Brother, did you just call me?"
Xia Wenqing nodded, noting Zhenzhen’s distracted demeanor, his brow subtly furrowing, "Zhaozhao is going to attend a banquet soon. Why don’t you go with her? It’s been a long time since you both saw each other."
"Really?" Zhenzhen quickly shook off her previous mood, looking a bit excitedly at Xia Wenqing.
She indeed missed Lu Zhaozhao.
Xia Wenqing nodded and pushed the evening gown on the table forward, "Take this gown to Zhaozhao for me, your evening gown will be delivered to you later."
He said this with his gaze deliberately lowered, not looking at Zhenzhen.
He was worried she might refuse.
After all, an evening gown is a very personal item, and it would be normal if Zhenzhen didn’t accept it.
The reason he mentioned Lu Zhaozhao’s gown to Zhenzhen after talking about hers was to lower her guard.
If she still had objections, he could only ask Zhaozhao for help again.
As Xia Wenqing was thinking this, Zhenzhen immediately responded, "Will the evening gown also be picked up here later?"
She had already heard from Zhao Xi that the Song Family and the Xia Family wanted to make Lu Zhaozhao’s identity public soon.
Announcing it at a joint banquet would definitely be sensational.
She could hardly wait to see Xia Wenjin’s regretful expression crack.
A front-row ticket to the drama, how could she miss it!
Zhenzhen had originally thought that if Song Sinian had not planned on letting her go, she would have applied through Zhao Xi.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wenqing took the initiative to bring it up, and she was, of course, willing to accept.
Xia Wenqing was slightly startled, inadvertently returning the question, "Would you mind choosing it yourself?"
"Uh.. choose it myself?"
As soon as Zhenzhen finished speaking, Xia Wenqing immediately added, "What I mean is, if you go and see for yourself, you should be able to find something more suitable. After all, you’re going to attend with Zhaozhao, you should pick something you like, right? Don’t all girls like to look pretty?"
Hearing Xia Wenqing’s awkward words, Zhenzhen looked at him confusedly, almost bursting out laughing.
Xia Wenqing was always very formal; it was probably his first time discussing such a feminine item as an evening gown with someone else, no wonder he felt embarrassed.
Zhenzhen immediately smiled, "No problem, just let me know when the time comes, and I’ll be there at a call!"
Her overly relaxed answer eased Xia Wenqing’s mind significantly.
He nodded and motioned for Zhenzhen to take the evening gown from the table.
Zhenzhen stepped forward immediately, hugging the gown in her arms. Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly tripped over the carpet underneath her feet, poised to fall straight forward.
Xia Wenqing, with quick reflexes, immediately reached out and pulled her back.
The distance between them closed unusually, a strange atmosphere causing both of them to freeze.
Xia Wenqing’s dark pupils slowly drooped, landing on Zhenzhen’s face that haunted his daydreams and nights; suddenly, the scene that had appeared when he was talking with Xia Wenyan at home flashed across his mind.
"Young girls nowadays really love this type of high-flown and cool persona."
"Boss, regardless of the era, is always the ’GOAT’ in girls’ hearts."
Xia Wenqing’s gaze slowly lowered, and upon seeing her small, rosy lips, he remembered the feel of her lips when they were abroad.
"Women..."
He stiffly spit out these two words, embarrassingly cringing enough to bury himself in a three-bedroom apartment.
Xia Wenqing ultimately couldn’t utter the embarrassing lines Xia Wenyan had said.
He just gritted his teeth, helped Zhenzhen steady herself, and added with the previous context, "Women, are just trouble."
"..."
Zhenzhen’s heart skipped a beat.
Good grief, the way Xia Wenqing had just held her and uttered the word "women."
In her mind, she had automatically fantasized a 100,000-word fanfiction about their boss romance...
