Chapter 891: Dare to Slap Her Face
She walked towards Chu Lui’s study. Chu Xiang bit on her small lips and followed her as she held Xia Ruoxin’s hand.
“Auntie, will you be my Mommy?” she asked softly.
Xia Ruoxin stopped in her tracks and looked down. As she looked down from a high point, she saw the light that flashed in Chu Xiang’s eyes, which was a little hopeful and also calculative.
“Sorry.” She smiled, but her smile was cold.
“I won’t.”
Yes, she would not be Chu Xiang’s mother. Never in her life.
Chu Xiang slowly let go of her hand as she felt that she had found the wrong person. She did not know what she was going to do next.
Xia Ruoxin wiped her finger, but her gaze met with Chu Lui, who was standing by the door.
Oh, when did he come? How much did he hear?
“Hello, CEO.” She walked up and greeted him formally like always.
“Mm, come in.”
Chu Lui opened the door to his study and let her in while his expression remained the same. One could not tell if he was happy, angry, or sad.
Xia Ruoxin walked in and put the documents she brought on the table before explaining them one by one.
“CEO, I have already arranged these documents. If there’s nothing wrong, I need you to sign here.” These were all documents for the company’s internal structure and would be carried out within the company so they must have Chu Lui’s own signature before they could take effect.
Chu Lui took the documents and sat on his office chair to flip them. Recently, Song Wan was not in good condition so he had to stay at home the whole time. That was also the reason why Xia Yixuan came over more frequently.
Chu Lui generally flipped the documents as he trusted Xia Ruoxin’s working capabilities very much. These documents were arranged perfectly, simple and easy enough to understand. He could just glance at it to know what the documents were talking about.
He took his signature pen and signed on top. The two words ‘Chu Lui’ were written thousands and millions of times. These two words were Chu Enterprise’s everything, which represented limitless authority and, of course, tremendous stress.
He gently rubbed his forehead. When he raised his head, he saw Xia Ruoxin sitting on the couch in a very demure manner. At this point, her head was slightly lowered; and a greenish-blue light was shining on her smooth and neat hair that was not dyed. He realized that her eyelashes were very long, and they curled upwards. There was a thin layer of mist covering her eyes which made her seem more approachable, which was weird. To him, this woman was very hard to approach. Even though she would smile at him, what he felt behind that smile was the distance that he could never cover.
Her skin was good, and her pretty face was very similar to that woman. Just that when she separated the hair at the side of her forehead, there was a tiny scar there. Lu Jinrong said before that there was a scar on his sister’s forehead as she had fallen when she did not carry her properly. Back then when the doctor wanted to remove it, Madam Lu refused as she said that Xiaohua was too pretty. If she was stolen, they could still use this scar to find her.
So, no matter how similar she was to that woman, pitifully; she was not her.
“I’m done.” He placed the documents aside.
“Mm.” Xia Ruoxin recovered her senses and stood up.
“Take them.” Chu Lui leaned against his chair, and his pair of sharp, dark eyes had always been on her. At this point, his eyes were slightly thickened.
Xia Ruoxin walked over and took the documents from the table. She flipped it one by one to see if Chu Lui had left out anything. If not, she would have to make another trip here the next day.
Her fingers were very beautiful; they were thin and long, and her nails were manicured cleanly with a healthy shade of pink on them. Chu Lui squinted his eyes slightly. Suddenly, he stood up and held her hands.
“CEO…” Xia Ruoxin lifted her head, and her pretty eyes landed on the man’s face as the mist in her eyes seemed to have thickened.
Chu Lui held her fingers up and actually found a small red mole on her right index finger.
She had one, too.
“You are…” Chu Lui was in a daze. This face was clearly unfamiliar and so was her voice, but why did he give her a feeling that was so similar to that woman? His intuition was never wrong, but now…
“CEO, can you let go of me?”
Xia Ruoxin raised her head that only reached his chin. Her face was filled with a seemingly smiling nonchalance. “You can’t touch your friend’s sister.”
She was like a woman who had been through too much; she would not be challenged or threatened.
Yes, that was it. That was the point that Chu Lui was the most confused about. She was clearly the princess of the Lu family, but on her, there was nonchalance towards the happenings of the world which should not appear at all.
“Who exactly are you?” Chu Lui muttered to himself as he held her hand tightly and placed it on his palm. This feeling, this habit… they would not be wrong.
Was it her?
Just that, when he wanted to find similarities of that woman in the woman before him, he realized that he could not find a single point. Other than their height, there really was nothing similar about them.
At this time—bang! The door outside was flung open.
“What are you two doing?” Once Xia Yixuan saw the man and woman looking at each other with so much emotion, she felt that she was betrayed; and green fur was growing out of her head.
“Lu Xiaohua, you b*tch!” She ran over, and before Chu Lui and Xia Ruoxin could react over—piak! A hand was flung onto Xia Ruoxin’s white face.
Xia Ruoxin’s face had once borne lots of slashes so it was originally weaker than others’ and had to be taken care of carefully normally. Xia Yixuan’s slap was merciless and caused her face to redden like a steamed dumpling at a rapid pace. Her face had also swelled up, and the five-finger mark was more obvious than ever.
“Xia Yixuan, what are you doing?”
Chu Lui held Xia Yixuan’s hand with all his might. Taking action on his territory meant that she had no respect for him.
“Brother Lui…” Xia Yixuan blinked and quickly, her tears dropped one by one. She was a woman who could act even better than Li Manni. Yes, her acting skills were much stronger than Li Manni’s.
Xia Ruoxin gently caressed her face, and her red lips curved upwards. Actually, she could have avoided it, but she did not.
Xia Yixuan, you should have a taste of getting scolded by your Brother Lui.
