In fact, Lin Xiaowan was slightly affected by the matter. She was a sensitive person, after all. When Cheng Ruitong did not reply to her messages, she did not dare to ask any questions or send another message since they were not very familiar with each other. However, she would secretly wonder if she had something wrong that made Cheng Ruitong dislike her.

Naturally, if it was someone she was familiar with like Huo Zheng, she would pester him, ask him why he did not reply, and if he was working. She would even joke with him.

If she did not meet Cheng Ruitong by chance today and mustered up her courage to ask about it, they would likely lose contact.

“Are you still learning archery?” Cheng Ruitong asked before she said, “1 have free time in two days. Do you want to go to the club with me?”

“Yes, but my performance isn’t very good. 1 still can’t hit the target,” Lin Xiaowan said, feeling slightly embarrassed as she said these words, “Of course, I want to go with you if you have free time!”

Cheng Ruitong nodded expressionlessly. However, inwardly, she thought that it was so good to speak to a soft and beautiful girl.

At this time, Huo Zheng finally returned. When he could not find Lin Xiaowan in her original position, he looked around briefly before he saw her. “What are you doing?”

Lin Xiaowan said happily, “I saw Sister Cheng so I came over to say hello.”

When faced with the opposite sex, Cheng Ruitong was the same. She was aloof and expressionless. She said politely, “President Huo, long time no see.”

Huo Zheng nodded in response. After all, they had cooperated before. He also knew Cheng Ruitong’s usual style very well so he did not bother to be polite. He held Lin Xiaowan’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Lin Xiaowan allowed him to hold her hand. She waved at Cheng Ruitong with her other hand and said, “Sister Cheng, 1’11 leave first!”

Cheng Ruitong nodded. “Bye, Xiaowan. I’ll see you next time!”

Lin Xiaowan smiled sincerely. “Alright!”

After parting ways, Huo Zheng asked teasingly in a low voice, “Did you secretly make an appointment behind my back?”

“I didn’t do it secretly! You were busy earlier,” Lin Xiaowan said righteously, “Moreover, don’t you know about it now?”

“Sister Cheng? You address her so intimately,” Huo Zheng said as he opened the car door for Lin Xiaowan. After they both got into the car, he added, “Why don’t you call me Brother any more?”

“Because I don’t want to!” Lin Xiaowan said, making a face at him and sticking her tongue out.

Subsequently, Huo Zheng kissed her.

When Lin Xiaowan got out of the car, she was dizzy. She could not even differentiate between north, south, east, and west. Her legs were weak, and she was carried into the house by her boyfriend in the posture one would carry a child.

Lin Xiaowan wrapped her arms around Huo Zheng’s neck and expressed her displeasure. “In the dramas, the CEOs and the presidents would carry their girlfriends like princesses. Why do you carry me like this?”

He held her bottom with one and supported her back with the other. He raised his eyebrow and asked, “Didn’t you jump into my arms like that?”

“No!” Lin Xiaowan denied.

Huo Zheng was magnanimous and did not argue with her. No matter what, she was always right.

Before going to bed, Lin Xiaowan thought of something and asked worriedly, “Does this mean that 1 can no longer work at the dessert shop?”

Although no one dared to approach her tonight, there must be guests like the tactful man who recognized her from the dessert shop. Even if there were not many who recognized her, it would not take long before word of it spread to everyone.

“You can do whatever you want,” Huo Zheng said reassuringly, “If you click with someone, it’s not a bad idea to befriend them. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, you can just ignore them.”

Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment before she shook her head and said, “Forget it. I’ll take a few days off. Maybe after things settle down, they’ll forget about it…”

After that, Lin Xiaowan showed Huo Zheng her homepage on Speaker and said, “Look! There are so many people following me. 1 wonder if all of them are trying to get close to you?”

Huo Zheng took a look and said, “I don’t think more than a thousand people are following you just because of me… You should be more confident. They’re following you because of you.”

Lin Xiaowan locked her phone and said skeptically, “But I have nothing, they have no reason to follow me…”

After putting her phone aside, she cupped her face with both hands before she said with a cheeky smile, “Oh, wait, 1 do have something. 1 have beauty!”

Huo Zheng hugged her, amused.

A few days later, Cheng Ruitong kept her word and invited Lin Xiaowan out.

Lin Xiaowan had not been to the dessert shop over the past few days and had been cooped up at home. She had been feeling bored so she agreed quickly.

Cheng Ruitong was dressed in a simple white shirt and black pants, and her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. When she saw Lin Xiaowan, she smiled and opened the passenger seat door for her. When Lin Xiaowan got into the car, she said, filled with praise, “Your outfit looks cute.”

Lin Xiaowan wore a straw hat with a large light green bow. She wore a cream V-neck shirt and matching pants. She looked very lively and energetic.

When Lin Xiaowan casually placed her bag in the back seat, it caught Cheng Ruitong’s eye, and she asked, “What’s that? A frog?”

The dark green leather bag was small. It was clearly not functional, and it was more of a decorative piece. At most, it could hold a mobile phone.

“No, I was told it’s a small crocodile!” Lin Xiaowan fastened her seatbelt before she looked at Cheng Ruitong expectantly as she asked with a smile, “Isn’t it cute?”

Cheng Ruitong avoided Lin Xiaowan’s eyes as she replied, “Mm.”

It was in fact rather ugly.

Before she drove, Cheng Ruitong glanced at the bag again.

‘Forget it. It’s not that ugly. Looking at it closely, it’s quite… cute…’

Cheng Ruitong asked, “Where did you get this from?”

‘Is it okay to sell such a bag? Was she cheated?’

Lin Xiaowan replied, “It’s from Saint Laurent. This is a limited-edition gift. The salesperson said there were also a bear and a frog. 1 want them all. She said she’ll give them to me next time. Do you want one as well?”

‘So it’s a gift… That’s right. They wouldn’t be able to sell it anyway. It’s better to give it away…’

Cheng Ruitong shook her head and said, “No, I don’t.”

Cheng Ruitong felt that she had refused too quickly so she added, “It doesn’t suit me.”

Cheng Ruitong had always dressed very simply. This kind of decorative bag needed to be carefully matched or else it would look very out of place.

Lin Xiaowan did not think much of it and nodded. “That’s true.”

Indeed, it did not match Cheng Ruitong’s style..
