His sentence trailed off as he peered at his desk . His fingers tightened gradually, and he took a deep breath to compose himself . He was using every ounce of his determination to suppress his growing emotions .
It took a long while . . . long enough to savor a cup of coffee, take a puff or perhaps to muster his courage to profess his love .
"Get lost . . . " He lifted his head, and his face had an apathetic expression . He pointed at the door . "Wen Xuxu, get out of here and don't look back . "
His reaction wasn't what Xuxu had envisioned; she thought that he would ridicule her maliciously . But he didn't and merely asked her to get out .
Xuxu nodded briefly, " . . . Goodbye . "
She turned around decisively and walked out without a second look .
Yan Rusheng stared as the door closed little by little . He could no longer control his temper, and he grabbed the cup and hurled it away angrily .

The cup smashed against the wall and shattered to pieces .
Xuxu's hand was still on the doorknob when she heard the loud shattering sound . Her body trembled badly .
"Sigh . " With a soundless sigh, she walked away .
When she reached her desk, she was greeted with the sight of a cup of coffee .
Feeling slightly surprised, she picked up the cup—the coffee was still piping hot .
She scanned the entire office . People were walking around; some were busy working while the rest were chatting leisurely .
Who could it be? This 'situation' had never happened before .
Subconsciously, she felt that something was missing from her desk . The furry doll which she'd placed near the stationery container in the corner was missing .

She couldn't help but grin; that childish fellow .
It must've been him the last time too .
She was still deep in thought when her colleagues began convening towards her one after another .
"Sister Xuxu, your relationship with President Yan was really well-hidden . "
"What do you mean by well-hidden? Even a fool could sense that President Yan treated Sister Xuxu differently, alright?"
"Sister Xuxu, don't forget to invite us to the wedding . "
"I've always said that President Yan and Sister Xuxu are a perfect couple . 'XuxuRusheng'; how wonderful . "
. . .
Everyone began to chime in and gossiped without giving Xuxu a chance to clarify the misunderstanding .
She peered at them helplessly and felt that she could only clarify after they stopped talking .
"Aren't you all supposed to be working?"
An abrupt cold voice traveled from behind Xuxu .
In the midst of the hubbub and excitement, everyone promptly scattered like mice that had spotted a cat . They scrambled back to their workstations as fast as they could .
Xuxu hastily sat down and switched on her computer .
Yan Rusheng's gaze swept past Xuxu, and he left the office .
He emanated arrogance from head to toe .
A new secretary reported for work the next day . It was a guy who had just graduated .
Xuxu began the handover process to the new male secretary as she carefully and conscientiously went through every single detail with him . Then she handed the rest of the documents to Yan Rusheng's assistant and briefed him as well .
She didn't hover around . After packing her belongings, she promptly left .
She stepped out of the building, and the sun was blazing without mercy . Standing on the stairs, she took a deep breath . This time around, she would never return again .
Once she made up her mind, she would definitely sever all ties without a second thought .
From the moment she left his office to when she walked out of Flourish & Prosper's main entrance, every step was taken with resolution . She didn't even hesitate and pause for a second .
She'd used that same resolution when she put on Jiang Zhuoheng's ring .
