That stain on the bed was another troublesome thing that she had caused .
"Alright . " Yan Rusheng nodded slightly and passed Xuxu the stack of documents which were right in front of him .
Xuxu received it with both hands and walked to the couch .
Silence resumed in the spacious office after they returned to work .
One sat at the desk and the other on the couch . Other than the occasional sounds of typing and rustling of papers, both of them worked in silence . When it was nearly time to end work, Yan Rusheng's secretary came knocking on the door to inform him .
Xuxu heard him and retreated into the bedroom .
She went to check on her clothes .

They weren't entirely dry when she felt them, but it shouldn't pose a hindrance even if she put them on now .
She quickly put on her pants hastily and removed Yan Rusheng's shirt . Knowing his obsession with cleanliness, she felt that she should wash it .
"What are you doing?"
Yan Rusheng entered the room .
Xuxu spun around with the shirt in her hands and then replied, "I want to wash your shirt . "
"There's no need for that," Yan Rusheng said firmly and then softened his tone . "If there's nothing else, let's go home . "
Let's go home . . .
These words caught both Wen Xuxu and himself by surprise .

He had spoken in a casual tone, and it felt like they had traveled back to the past when Xuxu was staying with the Yan family .
He had never done his classroom duties back at school . Whenever Xuxu was on duty, he would arrogantly sit on his desk like a boss, his legs crossed as he impatiently told her to get a move on .
After Xuxu was done, he would leap to his feet lightly and say to her, "Hurry up, let's go home . "
Even though he sounded different now, the casualness was the same .
Xuxu regained herself after a moment and nodded hastily . "Oh, okay . "
She looked at the shirt in her hands before saying, "Then I'll wash it at home . "
She stuffed the shirt into a bag which contained the bedsheets and went back to get her handbag, then said, "I'm done . "
"Mm . " Yan Rusheng gave a curt reply .
They left the bedroom .
After they got out of the elevator, they walked side by side like how they did in the morning and stepped past Flourish & Prosper's doors .
But the two figures—one towering and the other petite—seemed to look more harmonious than they did that morning .
Except for the President, there was no one else above Xuxu in terms of the hierarchy as she shared the same office as him .
Everyone was speculating if the two of them were really working in the office the entire day . Various rumors were rife .
Some of them were saying that Young Master Yan and Madam might be doing something else when they were tired from work . . .
Of course, these rumors were restricted within the company, and no one dared to leak them out .
This entire week, they would accompany each other to the company and go back home together .
It was almost six, but the sun was still shining strongly . Xuxu stood on the steps as usual while she waited for Yan Rusheng to drive the car over .
Her phone rang, and her heart violently skipped a beat when she saw Jiang Zhuoheng's name displayed on the screen . Her face turned slightly pale .
She answered the call with a soft "Hello" .
It had been a long time since she'd last heard his voice . "Xuxu, are you done with work?"
He sounded exhausted, causing Xuxu to suddenly feel a tingling sensation at the tip of her nose . She suppressed the guilt she felt towards him and spoke composedly . "I just finished up, and I'm about to head home . Have you been busy?"
The last time she met him was at Grandmother's mourning hall, and it was more than a month ago . They hadn't kept in contact since then .
