Christmas Eve happened to be on Friday. Lin Qiao came to the company with gifts, imagining that if she could take down Su Zhengxing today, she wouldn’t have to go to work for the next two days. It was so cool!
As soon as she came in the morning, she asked Qi Yuan about Su Zhengxing’s schedule today. After learning that he had meetings outside in the morning and afternoon, she lowered her head in frustration.
Qi Yuan noticed her disappointment and whispered to her, “Although Mr. Su won’t be in the company all day today, he’ll probably be back in the office tonight.”
“Really?”
Lin Qiao blurted out and realized that she was too obvious, so she smiled embarrassedly.
Qi Yuan, however, didn’t take it seriously.
“There is a big contract on his desk that must be signed and sent out today. Mr. Su attaches great importance to that project, so he will definitely come back tonight.”
With Qi Yuan’s inside information, Lin Qiao waited at her workstation with peace of mind. She also changed her ‘good habit’ of disappearing after work and volunteered to help the sisters in the office share the work after getting out of work, working several more hours.
At around nine o’clock, the last sister in the office got off work. Lin Qiao was tired and sleepy, lying on her workstation with her face drooping.
“It promised to come back to the office. It’s already past nine o’clock.”
She was full of resentment, “Forget it, if I wait any longer, I won’t be able to catch the subway.”
She yawned and stood up to get out of work.
It was still sunny when she went out in the morning, but now it was snowing when she came out of the Baitian Building.
The fine snow, like salt, was blown by the north wind in the forest of steel and concrete. The wind was whistling, and the colorful neon lights were flashing. What met the eyes was gorgeous and splendid, but when she stretched out her hands, she felt the biting cold.
Lin Qiao blew a breath into her palms, shook her sleeves, and put her hands into her down jacket.
The Baitian Building is very close to the subway station, just a few steps away.
Lin Qiao walked over and found a man sitting dejectedly on a bench outside with a small gift box in his hand.
The reason why she noticed him was not just because he was handsome, but because he could sit outside in the north at a temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius at night, wearing only a thin black velvet suit and standing still like a mountain. Not only did he wear a suit, but he also wore nothing underneath!
What a ruthless person!
Lin Qiao felt emotional in her heart and couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times when she passed by him.
The man was tall and had long legs. He was well-dressed and had an exquisite look. There was a teardrop mole under his left eye. Every strand of his hair seemed to have been carefully groomed.
If he hadn’t been standing in front of an ordinary subway station, she would have thought that he was a model from a fashion show!
The man seemed to be in a bad mood. It was unknown what he was thinking. His brows were furrowed. He didn’t even notice the snow falling on his eyelashes.
It seemed that he was also an unlucky guy who didn’t give out any gifts. Lin Qiao shook her head.
“There will be heavy snow later, and the temperature will drop.” Lin Qiao kindly reminded him.
Hearing the voice, the man looked up and looked at Lin Qiao, who was wrapped in a scarf and huddled in a down jacket, with some uncertainty.
“Are you talking to me?” He asked.
“Is there anyone else here besides you?” Lin Qiao asked back.
There were not many passengers at the subway station as the last train was approaching. The entrance to the subway station was quiet and deserted.
“I’ll sit for a while and then leave.”
He seemed to understand Lin Qiao’s good intentions. There was a strong nasal tone in his voice.
It would be strange if you didn’t catch a cold if you wore only a single layer of clothing outside in the cold wind on a snowy day!
