Free Web NovelChapter 2114: Chapter 2114: Lady Boss (10)
The guy is actually pretty good-looking, just a bit dark-skinned, and he speaks very succinctly: "Xiao Zhe." After saying that, he fell silent.
"Sister-in-law, don’t mind him. This kid always doesn’t like to talk, hahaha..." Yang Chen was probably afraid that Jiaojiao would mind, so he immediately hugged Xiao Zhe’s shoulder like a buddy to explain, but as soon as he touched Xiao Zhe, Xiao Zhe disdainfully shrugged him off and turned to the other side.
Jiaojiao, naturally, didn’t mind, maintaining her elegant sister-in-law persona, smiled slightly, and said, "It’s okay, it’s okay, let’s eat the cake then."
Considering that they would be going out for dinner together tonight, Sha Qian only bought two large cakes with two different flavors for everyone to share.
Duan Xi doesn’t particularly like sweets, so Jiaojiao took advantage of a moment when no one was watching to feed him a bit. Once the cake was finished, a few of the guys began to officially assemble the computer.
Jiaojiao and Li Que were among those who didn’t know how to do this, so they could only watch from the side and nibble on the leftover cake.
As they were eating, Li Que suddenly leaned closer to Jiaojiao and whispered, "Little One, what did you and your brother Xi just do in the office?"
Jiaojiao looked over innocently, "What?"
"Tsk, stop pretending. Your lips were swollen when you came out!" Li Que said.
Jiaojiao froze for a moment, then her face flushed red, and she lunged to pinch Li Que’s mouth. Li Que laughed heartily, and the two started to play again. Occasionally, Duan Xi lifted his head to look at her, seeing her joyful and carefree expression, his eyes were filled with tenderness and affection.
The guys nearby jostled each other, secretly chuckling, and when Duan Xi looked over, they immediately acted as if nothing happened, continuing to assemble the computer.
In total, they bought ten computers. Computers were still very expensive at this time — more than ten thousand per unit, costing nearly one hundred and fifty thousand in total.
After the computers were set up, Jiaojiao and Li Que played for a while. Qiuqiu wasn’t there yet, but playing some card-based single-player games, the girls found it quite interesting.
In the evening, the group left the building. Since the Ruan Family had a branch nearby, they went directly to the family hotel for a meal.
The hotel manager knew Jiaojiao and Duan Xi, and immediately respectfully opened a large private dining room for them. Duan Xi handed the menu to a few people: "Don’t waste."
"Boss, does that mean we can order anything we want?" Yang Chen asked excitedly.
Duan Xi nodded.
Seeing this, the other guys also burst out in excited cheers, because they usually wouldn’t even dare to pass by the entrance of such a restaurant, let alone come inside to eat. Now not only could they come in, but they could also eat whatever they wanted. How could they not be excited?
Jiaojiao also gave a menu to Li Que and the others. Li Que hadn’t eaten in such a place before either, and holding the menu, she started discussing it with Cao Qiu and Liang Wenjing.
Seeing them huddled together discussing, Jiaojiao didn’t want to interrupt, so she got up, left the private room, and headed to the bathroom.
Duan Xi saw this and instinctively wanted to follow her out, but Liang Wenjing, who was two seats away from Jiaojiao, also got up, nodded to him, and followed Jiaojiao out. Duan Xi then sat down again.
After Jiaojiao finished in the restroom, she was about to rise when she heard a flurry of footsteps outside, followed by several female voices approaching.
The first thing she heard was a woman’s voice, seemingly crying very sadly, and people around her were trying to comfort her.
