The company's WeChat notifications kept popping up, all about Guoguo talking about Qin Ning every day. Bai Weiran was getting a little irritable, and one day he finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned off Guoguo's message notifications.

He had only turned it off for two minutes when Guoguo's voice came from behind him.

"...Bai Weiran! I've come to find you!"

Bai Weiran: ...?

Holy crap, that fast? I just turned off notifications, and they're already here at breakneck speed?

Are you there? Could you please remove the surveillance camera that's been placed on me?

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Your Guilty Look is Ridiculous

Guoguo wasn't there to cause trouble because Bai Weiran had turned off her notifications. Holding Qin Ning's hand, she greeted Bai Weiran warmly.

"Bai Weiran! Zhou, let's go have lunch together!"

Bai Weiran usually goes with Guoguo when she goes out, but today he caught a glimpse of the girl next to Guoguo, dressed in a white top and a fuchsia skirt, looking fresh and pretty, and his heart skipped a beat.

"No, I have things to do, I can't go." He lowered his head to avoid eye contact.

Guoguo was taken aback.

Bai Weiran almost never refused her.

She glanced at Qin Ning, the girl looking at her with innocent, pleading eyes.

Qin Ning suggested this dinner invitation. She said she wanted to thank her interviewer but didn't know how to bring it up. Guoguo saw that the girl was timid and shy but had a strong sense of female chivalry, so she patted her chest and agreed.

"Bai Weiran is my closest friend, he'll definitely agree to my request!"

Qin Ning stared with her innocent, round eyes.

"Best friends, what have you been through together?"

"Hey, speaking of the four great bonds in life, we studied together, fought together, shared the spoils together, and went whoring together... uh, we didn't have any of those, but we once worked overtime together, working until midnight, for half a month. Wei Ran is a loyal friend, and he always took me home."

"...Oh, he even takes Sister Guoguo home!?" The girl covered her mouth in surprise.

"Brother Weiran is such a nice guy."

"That's right. We survived a sudden death crisis together. Aren't we best friends who have been through thick and thin together? Don't worry, if a best friend in life and death says the word, he will definitely do the honor of coming to eat this meal."

Guoguo's words from three minutes ago have now been proven wrong.

Feeling embarrassed by the girl's gaze, Guoguo stepped forward and whispered something to Bai Weiran.

"Hey, Bai Weiran, give me some face and have dinner with me today. I'm bringing a group, you don't want me to lose face in front of the interns, do you?"

"...Guoguo, what's your sexual orientation...?"

"Pshaw, I'm very straightforward, but everyone loves beautiful girls. Who doesn't like beautiful girls? Her hands are small, fragrant, soft, and white, hehe..."

Bai Weiran: ………………

The two whispered to each other as if no one else was around, while the girl behind them maintained her smile, though the light in her eyes gradually faded.

Bai Weiran was somewhat swayed by Guoguo's persuasion and couldn't help but glance at Qin Ning again. When he looked over, the girl's eyes became gentle and bright again.

Bai Weiran did not notice anything unusual.

He thought that because they were different people from a parallel world, this Qin Ning didn't have any arrogant temperament at all. Instead, she was as docile as a little white rabbit, and when she was with Guo Guo, she was like Guo Guo's little follower.

They have the same appearance but completely different inner selves.

But they look so alike.

Bai Weiran felt that even eating would be difficult if he saw that face, so he firmly refused.

"Weiran really has something to do." While waiting for the elevator, Guoguo was busy explaining to the girl.

“He always comes.”

The girl smiled at her gently, with a hint of disappointment.

"I believe in Sister Guoguo."

That stunning smile completely captivated Guoguo, who secretly vowed to drag Bai Weiran here next time. She immediately went to Taobao to order a chain, thinking, "I'd betray my brother, or I'd be a dog."

Qin Ning lowered her head, and the smile disappeared from her eyes.

Why would he not come if he had something to do?

Before deciding whether to come or not, he glanced in his direction.

She's not stupid.

If it's this friend who invites him, he'll go; but if it's someone else, he won't go.

Masked man, your guilty look is laughable.

Xx

Bai Weiran sat in his seat, his hands covering his face, looking somewhat relieved, yet also a little apologetic.

The interns are innocent too; it's their own mental health issues.

This can't go on.

Knowing she was his future boss, he still deliberately avoided her.

While it's not about being a sycophant, avoiding the boss altogether isn't the right way to conduct yourself in the workplace.

"I have to forget about it as soon as possible," he muttered to himself.

"Forgot what?" Bai Weiran hissed as his hand was suddenly chilled by the cold air. He removed his hand and saw Wu Ji smiling broadly, holding a bottle of iced lime sports drink.

"...?! What are you doing here?!"

Wu Ji glanced at him with amusement, "We're from the same company, so we can share access cards. I just walked in through the main entrance to find you without any problem."

He pulled over the chair next to Bai Weiran and sat down, placing his drink on the table.

"Look, I remember you used to buy this brand of sports drinks?"

That was a long time ago; Bai Weiran doesn't actually drink that brand of sports drink much anymore.

It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that after I suddenly didn't buy it one day, I gradually forgot about it.

But he didn't say it out loud, which was quite remarkable that Wu Ji could still remember his preferences after all these years.

"Why aren't you going to eat? I see everyone in your area has left, except for you. What's with being so responsible during your rest time? The company won't be responsible if you die from overwork," Wu Ji joked. Without Guo Guo and Achao around, he and Bai Weiran felt more relaxed and comfortable talking.

"I don't have much of an appetite."

Wu Ji gave a strange look.

"Huh? Did you say that? I remember when I didn't eat, you righteously told me that if I wasn't enthusiastic about eating, there was something wrong with my thinking, and you practically dragged me to eat. Now you're not following the rules yourself?"

"I'm feeling a bit annoyed," Bai Weiran said, turning the sports drink aside and taking a sip.

"You can be annoying...?" Wu Ji stroked his chin.

"Work isn't bothering you, is it something to do with your girlfriend? Are you still with your ex?"

"No, we broke up."

"Congratulations! I should have bought you two sports drinks."

Bai Weiran looked helpless in the face of Wu Ji's merciless sneer.

"Forget it! Let's not talk about me. I'm more curious about what your project is about. It's not about ancient Chinese style, is it? I remember you used to do a lot of ancient Chinese style projects?"

"No, I don't do ancient style content anymore." Wu Ji was unwilling to reveal much in front of A-Chao and Guo-Guo, but he didn't intend to hide it from his friends.

"Why? Is it because the market is getting worse?" Bai Weiran remembered that this friend had a special fondness for ancient-style games.

"It's just a game with an ancient Chinese style. Games are virtual, meaningless, and unrealistic. I have more interesting interests in ancient Chinese style now."

Bai Weiran responded with an "oh".

"You haven't become obsessed with Hanfu cosplay, have you?"

"Ah, well, that's probably about right!"

Wu Ji smiled and touched his left ear. Bai Weiran noticed that there was a ruby ​​earring there, with an antique design.

Wu Ji had never worn earrings before.

But with silver-gray hair, he looks incredibly handsome and dashing.

The two chatted casually and comfortably, as if they were having a casual conversation. After a while, Wu Ji suggested that Bai Weiran go downstairs to buy something for lunch and take a walk. Bai Weiran readily agreed. As they walked over, they didn't notice that A Chao was hiding in a corner with two iced Americanos, and Bai Weiran was heartbroken.

"...I should be under the car, not here, seeing you two, how sweet you are..."

Xx

Wu Ji is a handsome guy, hehehehe

And she plays an important role later on.

Can you all guess? (▽?*)

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Bai Weiran Appears Out of the Way

Guoguo froze, holding the spoon, staring intently as the girl lowered her head to drink her porridge.

Her hair on the left side was tucked behind her ear, jet black like a waterfall. Her profile was elegant and graceful, and her neck was snow-white and slender. She would make a little noise as she sipped porridge, but it wasn't annoying. It was like a kitten purring when it ate too fast.

There aren't many restaurants downstairs at Shile Company, so you might get tired of eating there every day; but there are also quite a few, with a dozen or so options to choose from.

But every time Guoguo comes to eat with Qin Ning, when she asks Qin Ning what she wants to eat, Qin Ning always chooses to drink porridge.

Qin Ning noticed Guo Guo's gaze, looked up and smiled at her.

The warmth of the porridge made her lips rosy and glossy.

Faced with a direct hit from her beauty, Guoguo couldn't help but swallow hard.

Ah! I think I understand why the company assigned this intern to me. Who could handle a guy like that? Wouldn't that be considered embezzlement?

Guoguo knew that ever since Qin Ning arrived, countless people had been adding her on WeChat, both openly and secretly, inviting her to meals, and some even trying to take a roundabout approach by asking her to lure this beautiful girl away with them.

Qin Ning looked gentle and kind, and even her refusal seemed powerless. Some people took advantage of this and became entangled with her relentlessly.
