Chương 78: Chapter 78
"I can't track it; the sender probably destroyed it already."
Meixiu sighs at the text Weimin sent her. She couldn't help but shake her head, her hand making contact with her face as she groans in annoyance.
"Are you not sleepy?"
Meixiu's moment was interrupted when a voice spoke in front of her. She looked up and saw Xiaohui with her mouth opening as she yawned.
Meixiu furrows her eyebrows, not hearing how the door opens or Xiaohui walking towards the couch, but she shrugs her shoulder and stands up on the couch.
"Not yet, are you?"
"Yeah."
Xiaohui's head looked down on her feet, her eyes closing as she slightly stumbled onto her place. Meixiu held her shoulder, holding Xiaohui tightly as the smaller woman leaned her body onto her arm.
"Sorry, I'm just tired."
"Then you should take a rest."
Xiaohui looks up at Meixiu, her eyes slightly opening as she shakes her head and pouts at the taller woman. Her action causes a flip of the heart towards the girl.
"You're not there."
"Do you want me to always be by your side?"
Meixiu couldn't help the growing smile on her face as Xiaohui nodded slightly; her eyes caught the red face of the woman before Xiaohui could hide it.
Her hand squeezed the smaller woman's shoulder, her cheeks painting a shade of red as she cleared her throat and nodded her head.
"Ok, let's head to bed now."
Meixiu guided Xiaohui towards their room, letting the latter sit down on the bed as she pulled the blanket and gestured for her to lay down.
"I won't go out of the room."
Meixiu assured Xiaohui, pulling the blanket over the woman as she leaned down, causing Xiaohui to widen her eyes.
Meixiu couldn't help but giggle, her hand resting on Xiaohui's cheeks and feeling it getting warmer as she stayed in her position.
"I like you, Xiaohui; I've told you this already back in college. I hope you have a different answer this time."
Xiaohui's mouth opens, but it closes, causing Meixiu to smile and nod at her. Her nose scrunches as she uses her other hand to pinch Xiaohui's nose.
"I can always wait for you, HuiHui."
Meixiu stands up straight, giving Xiaohui one last smile before she lays down on the sleeping bag on the floor.
Xiaohui couldn't help but look at Meixiu's figure on the floor.
-
Meixiu looks up at the tall building, her head shaking as she fixes the hat she's wearing.
Her hands went inside her pocket, texting Wenqian as she quickly made her way inside the building.
The girl is still inside the conference room, waiting for everyone to go out as she smiles and nods at them.
A particular person caught her attention, and Meixiu wanted her to keep an eye open.
"Ms. Zhong."
Lijuan and Wenqian were left inside the conference room as Lijuan approached the woman.
Wenqian looks at her, her face remaining serious as she raises an eyebrow and waits for the woman to speak.
"I have something to-"
Her words were cut short when Wenqian's phone vibrated in her hand. Her eyes look at the screen, furrowing her eyebrows, and she sees a contact that seems to be the contact of the owner.
"Ms. Cui, I'm sorry, but I have to go."
Wenqian quickly excused herself and nodded at Lijuan as she went towards the elevator.
Lijuan sighs and shakes her head, but her eyes brighten upon remembering what she saw on Wenqian's phone.
"The owner's probably on their way up; you might as well just look for them."
Lijuan made her way towards the elevator, her feet patiently tapping on the ground as it dings and opens the door.
She quickly went out, her eyes squinting upon seeing an unfamiliar person on top of the floor.
"Excuse me?"
She called, causing the person to stop on their track. Meixiu cursed before she started waking as Lijuan ran after her.
"Excuse me? Are you the owner?"
Lijuan asks, trying her best to run after Meixiu, but because of her heels, she's having a hard time running after her.
"Ms. Cui, what are you doing here?"
Wenqian was surprised at Lijuan, her eyebrows furrowing, sensing that Lijuan already saw Meixiu in the building.
Lijuan looked behind Wenqian, not seeing a person, causing her to sigh and look at the folder in her hand.
"You forgot this information, Ms. Zhong; I'm returning it."
"Oh, I could let my assistant get that for me."
Lijuan smiles as she bows down. Wenqian grabs the folder from her hand, opening it as she nods and smiles at Lijuan.
"You can go ahead now, Ms. Cui; this place is not for the employees."
"Yes, I'll be leaving."
Lijuan glances at the hallway but sighs disappointedly before she bows down again and walks away from Wenqian.
The woman sighs in relief, her eyes looking over her shoulder, seeing Meixiu go out of her hiding spot.
"Young Master, I apologize for being late."
"That's fine; she's not going to be here anytime next week."
Wenqian nodded, her head bowing down as Meixiu sighed in relief.
"Again, I apologize for that."
"It's alright."
-
Meixiu opens the door, seeing Lijuan in distress and Xiaohui comforting the latter. Xiaohui's eyes went towards the door, their eyes locking as the woman quickly stood up, confusing Lijuan.
"What's happening?"
Lijuan looks at the sound, her eyebrows furrowing, before she stands up from the couch.
"Where have you been?"
Lijuan asks, her eyes darting onto Meixiu's hat, seeing it a little bit familiar to her. Meixiu looks at her and smiles widely, pulling the plastic bag from her other hand as she shows it to her.
"Outside, I bought foods since Xiaohui told me you'd be eating here."
"Lijuan! It's nice that you visited!"
Their conversation got interrupted when Xiaowen walked inside the house, butting in between Lijuan and Meixiu.
Meixiu shrugged her shoulders and went towards the kitchen, her mind trailing back towards the happenings in the office earlier.
"Lijuan is about to get transferred."
"What?"
Meixiu puts the food that she's going to cook on the counter, looking back and seeing Xiaohui staring at her.
"She said next week she'll be running errands."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, that's tiring, and she didn't graduate for that position."
Xiaohui replied, her mouth slipping a sigh as Meixiu walked in her direction, spinning her around as she massaged her shoulder.
"I just feel bad."
"Maybe the company did see that she has potential in that position."
"I guess."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, causing Meixiu to pull her hands back and look at Xiaohui's head. Her mouth opened but closed as she shook her head and went back towards the counter.
"About last night..."
She stops pulling the ingredients out, waiting for Xiaohui's next words. The smaller woman couldn't help but sigh in nervousness.
"Are you sure about it?"
"HuiHui, when it comes to you, I'll always be sure."
Meixiu glances at Xiaohui, her eyes smiling, as the woman behind her looks down on her feet as she contemplates what to say next.
Meixiu looks back at the ingredients, her mouth leaving a sigh as she shakes her head a little.
"Do you need help cooking?"
"I can handle it, baby; go with Lijuan now."
