She rubbed her itchy nose while glancing at Yan Rusheng at the same time .
She didn't manage to cover her nose before she sneezed, and her saliva must have sprayed onto the dishes .
She was afraid that Yan Rusheng would feel disgusted, but instead, he gracefully picked up the chopsticks with his fair hand and leisurely proceeded to savor his favorite dishes .
His appetite wasn't in the least bit affected by her unglamorous sneeze .
"Missy, the weather has been cold these past few days . I'll have someone change your bedding with a thicker quilt . Don't catch a cold . "
Aunt Zhang's voice suddenly sounded in her ears .

Pausing for a moment, she raised her head to glance at Aunt Zhang, then smiled and shook her head . "There's no need to change them . It's not cold at all . "
But Aunt Zhang tried to insist, " It's better to change them . The weather has turned chilly, and you're sleeping all alone . You'll definitely feel cold . "
There was a hidden meaning in her words .
After she said this, the old lady glanced swiftly at Yan Rusheng .
Lately, these two children had been sleeping in separate rooms, and they hadn't exchanged a word to each other . Anyone could tell that they were in the middle of a cold war .
Sigh . This is so worrisome .
Xuxu feigned ignorance and smiled at Aunt Zhang . "I'll let you know if I'm cold . "

They're both acting like complete strangers . Aunt Zhang sighed in dismay and left the dining room .
After Aunt Zhang left, Yan Rusheng lifted his eyes to take a peek at Xuxu . She was chewing on the ribs in a graceful and unhurried manner . She was wearing a jade pendant and bangle that looked familiar .
He recognized both of them—they were gifted by Grandmother . Wen Xuxu had been wearing the jade pendant since she entered their family and had only taken it off when she went to university .
The bangle was also a gift from Grandmother . It was given to her right before his eyes, on the night before they left for university in B City .
Back then, when Grandmother said that the bangle was a family heirloom, it sounded like the usual comments from an elder . But the truth was, Grandmother had already been thinking of making them a couple .
But after receiving the bangle, Wen Xuxu had never worn it .
So what's the occasion today? Why is she putting on both pieces of jewelry?
Yan Rusheng was in a perplexed state of mind for the entire night .
. . .
Yan Rusheng's male secretary was on sick leave for a few days, so Xuxu had to take over his duties . She was buried in work the entire day .
It was already past their working hours, and everyone in the office had left . She could finally have a breather and a glass of water .
She put down the glass, then took a glance at the time on her laptop screen .
After she turned off the laptop, she walked over to Yan Rusheng's office and knocked on his door .
Pushing open the door, she saw Yan Rusheng buried in a pile of documents . "President Yan, we have a dinner appointment at 6 . 30 pm with Country Y's princess at Beautiful Metropolis . It's time to set off now . "
Yan Rusheng raised his head, took a look at the clock on the wall and replied, "Okay . "
"I'll wait for you at the door . " Xuxu was about to close the door .
Suddenly, Yan Rusheng stopped her . "Wait a minute . "
Xuxu turned her head and gave him a puzzled look . "Anything else?"
Yan Rusheng asked, "Who are the representatives from Country Y?"
"Only the princess, her son, Charles, and her secretary," Xuxu responded .
