"Yes, I agree . Let's order from First Love later . "
"Sure . " Xuxu agreed readily . "Let's get back to work now . "
She sat down and started working immediately .
During the tea break, everyone was really happy . The main reason wasn't because of the treat but rather, the atmosphere was pleasant and enjoyable .
They had coffee, tea, pastries, and desserts .
"Hey, the strawberry flavor is for Sister Xuxu . You're a guy! Why are you drinking it?"
A male colleague who was holding a cup of strawberry milkshake was stopped by the ladies .
Everyone started admonishing him .

Xuxu grinned . "Let him have it, I don't want it . "
"Hi, President Yan . "
At this time, someone called a name that made everyone shivered in fear .
Everyone turned to peer outside simultaneously .
A towering figure, with a sinister aura surrounding him, walked towards them . It brought the atmosphere in the office back to a freezing point in a split second .
Some of them bowed their heads as they tried to sneak back to their work stations .
"President Yan, this strawberry milkshake is for you . It's Sister Xuxu's treat . "
A young female colleague who had snatched the strawberry milkshake away suddenly mustered all her courage and presented it to Yan Rusheng .
All of them took a deep breath collectively .

And they were silently awestruck by her bravery .
Even Xuxu was in awe . Her mouth twitched involuntarily .
That female colleague was the most talkative and lively among all of them in the President's office . They didn't expect her to be so fearless too .
Yan Rusheng halted his footsteps and turned around, without much enthusiasm, to look at her .
Everyone held their breath anxiously .
"It's okay . "
However, Yan Rusheng simply declined her offer and continued walking away .
Only after he entered his office, did everyone breathe normally again .
Everyone turned to gape at the female colleague who had offered him the milkshake .
"Wang Xiaoya, you are really fearless . "
"You almost scared the shit out of me . "
Wang Xiaoya lifted her chin smugly and glanced at Xuxu . She grinned cheekily . "Look! If President Yan knew that Sister Xuxu had given us a treat, he wouldn't lose his temper at us . "
"Oh… so you're using Sister Xuxu as your shield . "
"But I reckon you're right . With President Yan's mood lately, he would have definitely flared up if he saw us enjoying ourselves in the office . However, he just walked away without lecturing us . "
All of them were engaged in their conversation, and Xuxu simply listened to them .
She could only smile hearing their conversation .
As the saying goes, seeing is believing . But it doesn't necessarily apply to everything .
Yan Rusheng was looking past his office window on his break, it was already getting dark . He rose from where he was sitting, took his cup, and walked over to the water dispenser . He was massaging his temples as he walked .
He filled the cup and then stood by the French windows . He stared into the distance blankly— the city's lights were reflected in his deep eyes .
But his mind was swirling with images of Xuxu's serene face .
His phone interrupted the silence and broke his train of thoughts .
He walked across the room, back to his desk . When he saw Ming Ansheng's name displayed on the screen, he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to meet them tonight .
He placed the cup that he was holding on the table and answered the call .
"Third Yan, what time are you going to arrive? Everyone is waiting for you . "
Ming Ansheng's voice was full of urgency and impatience .
"On my way . " Yan Rusheng replied .
