Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Yang Yuan had to admit that some people were just lucky as he looked at the young man before him.

You see, at such a young age he knew to find a good girlfriend, avoiding so many detours.

At this thought, Yang Yuan's gaze was somewhat peculiar.

Previously, he had a rather good opinion of Xie Xiao, after all, the kid seemed obedient, listened patiently to whatever was said,

and was willing to take the short end of the stick without fighting for credit.

Yang Yuan thought about how he had taken advantage of his seniority to have Xie Xiao do quite a few things.

So when Ge Hui told him Xie Xiao was CEO Luo's future son-in-law, he couldn't sleep for several nights.

He even advised Ge Hui to drag Xie Xiao down as well.

After all, who doesn't like money?

Especially the young people nowadays, but Yang Yuan did not expect Xie Xiao really didn't lack money, having his own company...

He naturally knew about this company, but their boss had always been a young man named Qi Yan, right?

He hadn't expected Xie Xiao to be behind it as well.

The younger generation is indeed to be feared.

At this moment, Yang Yuan wore a smile, "No, I just thought if you're free, I'd take you out to dinner, since I've had you help with quite a few things before."

He looked at Xie Xiao, his eyes filled with inquiry, "And we could also discuss the project."

Xie Xiao smiled and waved his hand, "That's really unfortunate then, I have to pick up my girlfriend soon, I really don't have the time today, but we can discuss the project on Monday."

And that was the truth, Xie Xiao had to fly back early the next morning to see Lin Yu.

That was also one of the reasons he hadn't worked overtime this week.

Yang Yuan's expression darkened.

In his view, this was Xie Xiao not giving him face.

The final person in charge of this project would be at least two people, and Xie Xiao had a significant say, otherwise Yang Yuan wouldn't have come to him.

Ge Hui had already approached Xie Xiao, but he had brushed it off with Taichi, and later, Yang Yuan even heard that Luo Ming had called Ge Hui.

In any case, Xie Xiao wasn't going to work out.

On Ge Hui's side, the hope was now on him, and Xie Xiao's group didn't know he was in contact with Ge Hui.

So he must secure this slot, as the person in charge still had the final decision-making power.

He was an old employee, after all, when the time came, he would just need to make moves among the group members.

The vote would almost certainly be in the bag.

But now, it seemed like Xie Xiao didn't plan to give him that opportunity.

Yang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, but he still forced a smile and nodded, "Alright then, I won't take up more of your time."

Xie Xiao nodded with a smile, not caring what Yang Yuan was thinking.

The final decision for this project wasn't actually in the hands of the project team at all.

But in those of Luo Ming and Xu Hao, Xie Xiao was just conveniently using it for practice, while also figuring out who had leaked the project details to Ge Hui.

Previously, everyone had signed a confidentiality agreement.

As long as they found out who it was, they would fire them on the spot.

Even Xu Hao had signed the confidentiality agreement.

The veteran employees of the branch had all come with Xu Hao in the beginning, so he was so angry about it that he couldn't even sleep.

Xie Xiao glanced at Yang Yuan, said with a smile, "Then, Brother Yang, see you later."

Then he got in the car and left.

He could still see Yang Yuan standing there as the car drove away.

Yang Yuan was quite cautious and said nothing.

But Xie Xiao guessed he would probably ask him out a second time, all he had to do was wait.

Xie Xiao went first to pick up Luo Yanran.

She wasn't working overtime either; she just happened to return with Xie Xiao on Saturday and Sunday.

When Luo Yanran got in the car, she was still laughing and said, "Senior brother will have to continue working overtime this week."

Luo Yanran does work overtime, but she said her good friend was going abroad, and it would be years before they returned.

Wanting to see him off, Kang Hui told her to go back and that he could handle things on his own.

Kang Hui is indeed a very gentle person.

In some ways, he is quite similar to Xie Xiao.

Even Luo Yanran occasionally gets that impression.

But she also knows there are many people like Xie Xiao, yet she will only ever love one Xie Xiao.

Seeing her looking so relaxed, Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "Feeling this happy about the holiday? I still remember when we were studying, you'd have me do quiz papers even during our dates on vacation."

Luo Yanran hummed in agreement, "Yeah, happy. Back when we were studying, I didn't feel much about holidays, but after graduating, every holiday truly feels like a joy."

She also remembered the times they had dated at the cinema where she made Xie Xiao do quiz papers.

It seemed like not a long time ago, but six or seven years had already passed.

Suddenly, she propped up her face and seriously stared at Xie Xiao, who was driving, for a long time.

Xie Xiao, feeling goosebumps from her intense gaze, helplessly smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you. How come after all these years, you seem to not have changed at all?" Luo Yanran said softly, "I feel like I've aged quite a bit."

Staying up late and wasting too much energy does seem to make one look older, indeed.

Luo Yanran sighed, "But what can I do? How did I get old so quickly?"

Xie Xiao glanced at her from the rearview mirror, noticing her genuinely anxious eyes, and said incredulously, "You call this being old? You could pass for a high school student in a uniform."

Then Luo Yanran countered with "Are you saying I already looked this old back in high school?"

Xie Xiao: ??? That's not what I meant!

He laughed despite himself. So, she's doing this on purpose, huh?

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

Luo Yanran looked at him innocently, "You see, you're even saying I'm doing it on purpose. How could I possibly purposefully say I look old?"

This time, Xie Xiao was sure she was intentionally teasing him.

He waited until the traffic light turned red to stop, then pinched her cheek, saying through gritted teeth, "I'm driving; are you trying to cause trouble?"

Luo Yanran pulled down his hand, which clearly wasn't willing to apply much force, rubbing it a few times almost apologetically, "Okay, okay, my bad~"

Xie Xiao really didn't have the heart to stay mad, and with a resigned sigh as the light turned green, retracted his hand and ruffled her hair, "Go ahead and tease."

Luo Yanran smiled sweetly beside him, thinking, because I know you'll always pamper me.

The two of them went to the internet-famous restaurant opened by Luo Ming.

In fact, the restaurant had been open for over a year.

Yet Luo Yanran and Xie Xiao had never really eaten there before.

This time was their first.

And it must be said, the place was really crowded. Thankfully, they had reserved ahead of time.

Their seats weren't bad either, by the window.

The restaurant was on the twelfth floor, and you could see the night view from the window.

It was indeed not bad at all.

Many people specifically come at night to take photos of this night view.

Ordering went quickly; they chose all the signature dishes.

Looking at the night view, Luo Yanran murmured, "My dad really has a knack for business."

Xie Xiao laughed upon hearing this, "Otherwise, do you think your uncle would have such a successful business?"

He lowered his voice a bit and pointed not far away, "Uncle has bought a plot of land over there. In the future, you'll be able to see a Ferris wheel from here."

Luo Yanran's eyes lit up.
