Xuxu lowered her eyes and looked at Yan Rusheng's pocket where the cell phone was placed . She deliberated for a split second before answering with an 'Ok' .
She walked over and stretched her hand into his pocket and could feel his body warmth . Her heart skipped a beat .
She felt for the phone, grabbed it and was about to her hand from the pocket .
Yan Rusheng suddenly took a step forward and leaned against the basin . Xuxu's hand was sandwiched in between .
As the back of her hand was against the basin in an awkward position, she felt some pain . She knitted her eyebrows and stared at the man in annoyance . "Yan Rusheng, what are you trying to do?"
"What?" Yan Rusheng feigned ignorance and looked down . He saw that Xuxu's hand was sandwiched in between and shot her a look of apology . "It was unintentional . "

Xuxu withdrew her hand from his pocket and glared at him in fury before averting her gaze to the cellphone screen . The call was from an unfamiliar number .
This was Yan Rusheng's personal number . So who could the unfamiliar caller be?
Xuxu looked at Yan Rusheng with uncertainty and asked, "It's a private number . Should I answer the call?"
"Answer it . " Yan Rusheng did not raise his head and went on to take the meat from the water and placed it on the chopping board .
He was attentive and patient with what he was doing .
As instructed, Xuxu answered the call . "Hello, I am President Yan's secretary . May I know who's on the line?"
Yan Rusheng heard Xuxu's self-introduction and shot her a 'You are an idiot' look .

"Dumb woman . " Didn't she know that that was his personal line? And yet she sounded so official!
Was she dying to draw a line to their relationship?
"Xuxu, it's me, Fang Jiayin . "
A familiar voice of a woman sounded from the other line . The voice was soft and gentle even when she was speaking to her . Xuxu's eyes momentarily turned gloomy .
She replied nonchalantly, "Wait a moment . I'll pass the phone to him . "
She stretched out her hand and was about to hand the phone to Yan Rusheng .
Fang Jiayin stopped her at that instant . "You don't need to pass the phone to him . I'll speak to you instead . "
Hearing this, Xuxu placed the phone back to her ear and remained silent .
Fang Jiayin said, "I haven't been feeling well and had been seeing a doctor at Country Y . Yesterday, Zhou Tong accompanied me to Country Y and said that your company was looking for her . Was Ah Sheng unhappy with her?"
So she called because of Zhou Tong .
Xuxu looked at Yan Rusheng, who was cutting the meat carefully and wasn't at all concerned about who the call was from . Xuxu replied, "I'm not too sure about this . "
She really wasn't aware that the company was looking for Zhou Tong or whether Yan Rusheng was unhappy with her .
But Fang Jiayin sounded as if she didn't believe and continued explaining to Xuxu . "Xuxu, I'm really sorry for delaying your work progress . It's all my fault . She will definitely be back tomorrow . "
"Jiayin, my apologies . " Xuxu said, "I'm no longer in charge of this matter . It's better you speak to President Yan directly . "
With that, she placed the phone on the chopping board and turned around to leave .
Yan Rusheng didn't pick up his cell phone immediately but stretched out his hand to Xuxu and stopped her instead . He looked at her apron and said, "Give me your apron . "
After that, he picked up his cell phone and placed it to his ear and answered softly, "Hello . "
Xuxu deliberately tried to move farther from Yan Rusheng as she didn't want to hear the content of his conversation with Fang Jiayin .
"I got it . Get her to rush back as soon as possible . Wen Xuxu will be unhappy if the work is delayed . "
