The calm Assistant Mu, carrying a belly full of questions, walked away.
After Assistant Mu left, Bai Yuchen sprang to his office desk with a gaze as if he had seen an old lady dancing striptease on the street, sizing up Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu capped his pen, tossed it casually, and leaned back in his chair.
His voice was cold and heavy, "What are you looking at?"
Bai Yuchen chuckled.
He touched his nose, eyes twinkling with the light of gossip.
"Brother Jiu, do you have a thing for Miss Ruan... Have you fallen for her at first sight?"
Xi Jiu didn't speak.
He leaned back in his chair, casually yanked at his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt—his movements were assertive and noble, yet carried a touch of languor.
"Have you ever heard a saying?"
Bai Yuchen: "What saying?"
Xi Jiu's eyes were cool and deep, "Love at first sight is often lust in disguise."
"..." Bai Yuchen choked, "So you're saying you don't fancy her?"
