My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Jing Xi was still hesitating. The next day, she went to the Luo family with tan Ruyi again. Luo Feiyangâs parents were still very warm to them, but they didnât let Luo Feiyang show up at all. Their words were also very clear that they would not agree to the marriage between Luo Feiyang and tan Ruyi.
When they returned to the hotel that night, tan Ruyi hid in her room and cried. Jing Xi was also in her room, racking her brains.
The situation was very tricky. Luo Feiyangâs parents were very smart. They said that they treated tan Ruyi like their daughter. She was Lou ruofeiâs cousin, Luo feilieâs cousin, and also Luo Feiyangâs cousin. How could cousins get married?
Jing Xi looked at the messages that Lou Ziling had sent her and suddenly realized that she had been too busy minding other peopleâs business to remember how many days she had been away from Lou Ziling.
It must have been half a month, right? Or a month?
She didnât think much of it during the first few days when they were apart. She even felt that it was fun to be free. Lou Ziling nervously called her every day, which was very refreshing to her.
However, Zuo Jiaâs appearance gave her a sense of crisis.
From Lou Zilingâs messages, she knew the whole story. She knew that they used to be classmates and deskmates.
To be honest, Jing Xi didnât think Zuo Jia was a bad person. However, it was precisely because she was a good girl that the possibility of Lou Ziling falling in love with her was higher. This made her feel more threatened.
If Zuo Jia was like Li Jing or Wu Wei, Jing Xi wouldnât have to worry.
Lou Ziling had a lot of experience in the world. He could tell the good and bad of a girl at a glance.
Jing Xi wanted to pack her things and return to China, but she couldnât leave before tan Ruyiâs matter was resolved.
She had promised tan Ruyi that she would help her settle Luo Feiyangâs parents.
There was a knock on the door. Jing Xi thought it was tan Ruyi, but when she opened the door, it was Lou Ziling, who was covered in dust.
Lou Ziling walked into Jing Xiâs room and closed the door. He looked down at Jing Xi and said,ââIf I didnât come, would you have never planned to go home? Or are you saying that you wonât go back until Ruyiâs matter is resolved?â
Lou Zilingâs handsome face was full of fatigue. Perhaps it was because he hadnât had a good rest for a few days and didnât have time to clean himself up. There was a short stubble on his chin. He hadnât shaved for at least two days.
In the past, Jing Xi had always complained that his beard would prick her face, and Lou Ziling would always clean himself up. He had never not shaved for two or three days.
âXixi, Iâm not forcing you to come home with me. I just want to tell you two things. First, thereâs nothing going on between me and Zuo Jia. I donât like her. Second, Ruyiâs mother doesnât agree to her marrying into the Luo family, and I donât agree either. â
Lou Ziling hugged Jing Xi and said in a hoarse voice,ââIâm leaving. Iâll wait for you to come home. â
He really opened the door and left without even looking back.
He had crossed the mountains and seas and flown for more than ten hours to the United States just to say a few words.
Lou Ziling took a taxi and went straight to the airport. He called tan Ruyi,ââYour mother doesnât support you and Luo Feiyang. Give her a call and she said you didnât pick up. If you donât pick up your motherâs call again, Iâll kill Luo Feiyang!â
Tan Ruyi was already crying, but when she heard Lou Zilingâs angry and murderous words, she was so scared that her tears flowed even faster.
She wanted to explain to Lou Ziling, but she couldnât say a word.
Lou Ziling didnât have time to listen to her cry. She hung up the phone and boarded the plane.
â¦â¦
Zuo Jia hadnât seen Lou Ziling for two days. She asked Lou Zilingâs assistant, but the only reply she got was,âthe president is on a business trip.â
She asked her friend in the airline to check and found out that Lou Ziling had gone to the United States.
His flight time showed that he had only stayed in the United States for a few dozen minutes.
This couldnât be a business trip.
He came and went in such a hurry, was he going to meet someone?
Zuo Jia felt that Jing Xi was probably the only person who could make Lou Zi and Ling Fei spend more than ten hours to see her.
But she didnât understand why they had only stayed for such a short time.
Even though Lou Ziling was not in the company, Zuo Jia was still serious about her work.
She realized that the companyâs public relations were quite weak. Some people seemed to only recognize Li Jing and not Li Xiao.
This was very normal. Li Xiao had appeared out of nowhere, so it was normal for people to suspect his identity.
Zuo Jia sorted out all these messy relationships. She had grown up in a political family, so she was very familiar with dealing with interpersonal relationships.
Other people might not know her name, but once Zuo Yan was mentioned, everyone in W city would know her.
Her grandfather, Zuo Tang, was even more famous and had great prestige.
Those who had wanted to make things difficult for Lou Ziling all gave face to Zuo Jia and admitted Lou Zilingâs identity. They cooperated and handed over the control of the Li familyâs assets.
Lou Ziling arrived at the airport in city W late at night. He did not want to go back to the manor. He would not call home anywhere without Jing Xi. He went straight to the company.
It was very late and all the employees had left work. The entire floor was empty. Only Lou Zilingâs footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
On his way back to his office, he had to pass by Zuo Jiaâs office. When he saw that the light was on, he thought that she had forgotten to turn it off.
He walked in to turn off the lights, but saw Zuo Jia sleeping on a thick pile of materials.
Lou Ziling stared at her beautiful face under the light. She didnât know what attracted her to Zuo Jia that made her work so hard.
He was clearly not here today, so she could slack off.
Everyone else had already gone home, but she, the mayorâs daughter, had worked overtime until late at night and had fallen asleep on the table.
Mayor Zuo would be heartbroken if he knew about this.
âZuo Jia!â
âGet up,â Lou Ziling called her in a low voice,âgo home and sleep.â
He patted Zuo Jiaâs shoulder and she woke up in a daze. When she looked up and saw Lou Ziling, she thought she was dreaming.
Recently, she had been dreaming about Lou Ziling every night. At this moment, she could not tell whether it was a dream or reality.
She touched Lou Zilingâs face and mumbled,ââHuh? he didnât Dodge. It seems like heâs dreaming.â
He would only stop hiding when she touched Lou Ziling in his dreams. In reality, he always kept a distance from her and did not even let her touch the corner of his clothes. Lou Ziling wasnât wearing a mask at the moment. She was showing her original appearance. He would never not wear a mask in the company.
Lou Ziling sighed in her heart as she looked at her confused face.
It wasnât that he didnât want to hide, but he didnât expect Zuo Jia to touch his face.
After spending a few days with her, he realized that Zuo Jia was a clean freak. He thought that Zuo Jia wouldnât touch his unkempt face.
âDonât work so late in the future. Letâs go, Iâll send you home. â
Lou Ziling turned around and walked out.
Zuo Jia didnât wake up until Lou Ziling left the office.
She slapped her face hard in disbelief.ââYouâre not dreaming?â
