He went outside to get Xuxu's cup and even disinfected it with boiling water before filling it with coffee .
An adorable cute cartoon fox character was printed on her cup .
He couldn't stop himself from taking a sip from her cup, and as he licked his lips, he wished he could continue drinking . His alluring lips curled with satisfaction at how good it tasted .

God, his heart was pounding rapidly .

He really wanted to know how touched Xuxu would be when she saw the steaming cup of coffee on her desk . But he was afraid that she would poke fun at him .
He'd never tried this hard to win someone over before, let alone for a woman .
When he was dating Fang Jiayin, he had never taken the initiative . When they went out on dates, everything—such as movies, shopping, and dinner—had all been planned by her . He merely accompanied her .
Unlike this stupid woman, he had to rack his brains to conjure up a feasible excuse just to buy her a birthday present .
Wen Xuxu, you're such a bothersome and stupidly alluring woman .
She'd always frolicked around him ever since they were kids, and she had never disappeared from his side before .

Knock knock knock .
Someone knocked on the door suddenly, and Yan Rusheng snapped out of his daze . He straightened his back and got his act together . He spoke in his usual voice . "Enter . "
He bent his head and started to pore over a document .
As he'd fervently wished and hoped, it was indeed Wen Xuxu .
She wore a pure white dress which stopped at her knees . The sleeves reached her elbows, and the dress was cinched tightly at her waist . She wore a pink headband, and her hair was let down loosely .
Her appearance looked fresh and exuded an elegant and cultured charm .
It delighted Young Master Yan's senses and left him astonished . By the time he got over his delight, Xuxu was already standing in front of him .
She was holding a white envelope, which she passed to Yan Rusheng with both hands . "President Yan, this is my formal letter of resignation . I might not be Flourish & Prosper's official employee, but I feel that it's more appropriate to give you formal notice . "
She spoke calmly, and she seemed strangely unapproachable and distant today .
Yan Rusheng's expression froze abruptly . The rippling fluctuations of anticipation and excitement in his heart were snuffed out instantaneously .
He faced the tiny woman, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes blazed with chilliness . "So you're here to resign?"
"President Yan, please stop all these ridiculous tricks . I want to apologize for all the times I've provoked you in the past . " Xuxu spoke composedly, and there wasn't a hint of emotion in her tone .
After saying her piece, she placed the resignation letter in front of Yan Rusheng .
Yan Rusheng jerked his head slightly upward and raised his eyebrows . "What things have I done that seem like ridiculous tricks to you?"
His tone exuded an eerie chilliness which enveloped Xuxu .
Xuxu looked into those eyes that shone like emerald black jade . Her heart jerked violently as fear crept and spread across her entire body .
But she didn't give away her fear as she maintained her calm visage . She continued to appear unperturbed, and her expression remained impassive . "Yan Rusheng, we've grown up together, and I've always harbored deep affection towards you . . . like we're a family . But because of your circumstances, I was forced to stick by you . Do you really hate me that much?"
"Wen Xuxu . " Yan Rusheng stood up and his palms pressed against the desk . Inching closer to her, he raised his voice . "If I hated you so much, then I'd . . . "
Feeling terrified, Xuxu panicked and gripped the desk with all her strength . A blinding gleam flashed across Yan Rusheng's eyes .
