  Xiao Lü brought me to a high-end Japanese ryotei under the company building, where you have to take off your shoes and kneel on the tatami mat. I didn't think much of it, usually Chinese people eat like this, how many really kneel? I took off my shoes and found a comfortable position to sit, Xiao Lü was behind me, taking off her shoes, then carefully placing them, and slowly walking to the position opposite me, she actually knelt down in front of me, very standard.

  Actually, such a beauty is also pleasant to look at when placed in front of me, but I still don't like her from the bottom of my heart.

  She brought me to such an expensive place for dinner, she shouldn't be short of money, so why did she hang out with those bald guys last time? I'm starting to think that I might have really overthought things, maybe this little green tea is actually in cahoots with the bald guys after all. Birds of a feather flock together, it's more reliable than judging by appearance. Thinking carefully again, her weak and feeble demeanor last time was just an act, how could a little girl who got teased to tears by some hoodlums possibly say she'd go to bed with someone just like that?

  As I thought so, I raised my head to look at Little Green, who was also looking at me. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, outlining a particularly meaningful smile, but all I saw in it was dust, especially dusty.

  I thought I was about to jump up and confront her, I wanted to ask her why she suddenly intervened in our little group for no reason. I'm not afraid of trouble, and I firmly believe that even if I cause trouble, Yu Tian will definitely help me clean up the mess. But because of Xiao Lü's smile, I felt a chill run down my spine, it was like a horror movie. I don't know what her purpose is, this unknown fear really made me back down.

  Xiao Lü Lü couldn't possibly not notice my hostility towards her, but she didn't show any sign of being bothered, and even her demeanor didn't appear to be nervous. She held the menu and asked me, "Sister, what do you want to eat?"

  "Whatever." I didn't want to talk to her at all.

  "I've noticed you haven't been looking too good these past two days. Haven't you been resting well or is something bothering you?"

  Hmph, bad mood? That's all thanks to you.

  I've killed Little Green in my heart more than a dozen times, but I still smiled and said to her, "It's okay, you order the dishes, whatever is fine with me."

  "Then let's have two portions of Tempura and Udon noodles. The Tempura here is very famous, later when we leave, we can bring one portion back for Lin Jing and Yu Zong, they both like it very much." Little Green said with a smile, and then called the waiter over.

  I was a bit sulky, and Lin actually liked to eat with Yu Tian. I didn't know that. I don't like Xiao Lü Lü pretending to be familiar with them in front of me.

  Perhaps seeing my confusion, Xiaolü added a sentence, "One day, Yu Zong and I were working overtime too late, he brought me here."

  "Really?" I didn't know that Yu Tian was also interested in Japanese food, of course, and I didn't suspect anything about Yu Tian's intentions because of Su Lu's words.

  It's nothing but her showing off in front of me how familiar she is with my friends, telling me things about people I thought were close to me, but apparently I don't know as well as she does.

  "Sister, is there something you've misunderstood about me? Why do I always feel like you don't like me?"

  "No way." I said with a smile, in a joking tone, "You already have so many people who like you, do you still lack one more? Besides, I also 'kind of' like you, really."

  "That's good, by the way, sister, on the wedding day I saw you and Yu Zong coming out together, are you guys 'dating'?"

  "No. It's not like I'm doing it for the sake of your family, Lin Jing. How could I possibly 'get rid' of him by myself?" I lied to her with my eyes wide open, and for now, I didn't want to reveal my relationship with Yu Tian.

  "Oh, I see. I thought you were Yu's 'girlfriend'. These days, I often see him answering phone calls with a very gentle tone, and sometimes he leaves early at noon and comes back late at night. He must be going to accompany his 'girlfriend', right?" She said this while giving me a piece of fried shrimp, smiling gently, her acting skills were perfect.

  This meal is getting less and less appetizing, but I still ate a lot without realizing it. When I reported this to Yu Tian, he smiled and asked if I was planning to eat Su Lu into bankruptcy.

  I also smiled and said, if I could, I would be willing, very willing.

  Xiao Lü Lü indeed brought a takeout for Lin Jing as she said, but the one for Yu Tian was not received. In front of me, Yu Tian said he had already eaten and directly refused without any room for negotiation.

  I secretly rejoiced in my heart and closed the door to give Yu Tian a deep kiss.

  "It's enough, I'll let him go," said Su. "You have to make a phone call every day and go out for a long time at noon. Tell me, who are you dating? I've never received your call or had lunch with you at noon."

  Yu Tian smiled and rubbed my hair, "Go see the client at noon."

  "Mm." I pressed my face into his chest, and perhaps because I never lifted my head, I didn't see Yu Tian's expression tense up at that moment.

  He held me tighter, as if he was afraid of losing me.

  After returning to the company for more than half a month, I gradually became familiar with the rhythm of work. Yu Tian often found excuses to call me into his office and personally taught me how to do each task. In fact, my ability was not enough to be Yu Tian's assistant, so he would teach me some things.

  It's been a long time since such days, and the company has also started spreading rumors about me and Yu Tian. Of course, Lin Jing and Xiao Lü's are even more explosive. They didn't hide their relationship, and the two of them were inseparable every day. In just a few days, Xiao Lü directly moved in with Lin Jing. When I heard about it, my mood wasn't very good.

  Yu Tian thought that maybe he was thinking too much, Su Lu had been with the company for some time and had never had any problems with her work. It was also normal for her to be with Lin Jing. It seemed that his hostility towards her was a bit inexplicable. But he didn't think so, he believed in his intuition more than those pieces of evidence.

  Ever since we had dinner together that day, Su Lu often came to find me and said some inexplicable things, such as the company is spreading rumors that Yu Tian has a "girlfriend" who has been "dating" for several years, or she knows that Lin Jing has pursued me, so do I like Lin Jing too.

  I don't know if she's just trying to show off or intentionally making me uncomfortable, but every time I talk to her, my mood becomes really bad.

  So we finally had a conflict.

  That day I wore a skirt that Yu Tian and I bought together when we went shopping, he chose it, I liked it very much, but also felt a little reluctant to wear it. When I went to the pantry to make coffee, Su Lu happened to be there too. Because of Yu Tian's food sensitivity, milk cannot be added to the coffee, so I added a few more packets of sugar and took out the mold and icing I bought online earlier to draw a heart shape on the coffee.

  Xiao Lü Lü saw it and asked me, "Is this cup for Director Yu?"

  "No, drink it yourself."

  I didn't want to say much more to her, holding a cup of coffee and preparing to leave. But Su Lü walked over and blocked my way.

  "Excuse me?"

  She smiled, then moved out of the way, but as soon as I walked past her, she leaned in close and accidentally knocked over the cup of coffee in my hand, spilling half of it on me.

  I lowered my head and saw that my skirt was already dirty.

  At that time, my first thought was to pour the remaining half cup on her face, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to lift my hand before hearing the sound of the door opening.

  Yu Tian walked up to me with a frown, "What's wrong?"

  "It's nothing!"

  I endured it not because I have a good temper, but because I didn't want to trouble Yu Tian. But as a result, the matter was passed on to Lin Jing, and I don't know how Xiao Lü told her about it. After work, Lin Jing suddenly found me and wanted to talk to me.

  Ever since he's been with Xiao Lü, we haven't really talked much. First, there hasn't been much opportunity, and second, I've tried to minimize running into him, so as not to think of Xiao Lü's annoying face.

  So I also refuse Lin's words, I don't want to listen.

  Ke Lin suddenly caught up and said, "Su Lü Ren is not as complicated as you think, I think you must have misunderstood her."

  "What did I misunderstand?" I didn't say anything even when I looked at him with disapproval again.

  "She wants to break up with me and quit her job."

  "Then just split, what's there to be reluctant about." I was so angry that I didn't want to bother with Lin Jing anymore. It had only been a few days, Vivian's child hadn't even been born yet, and Lin Jing was already coming to me again for someone else's sake.

  I'm so annoyed, really annoyed. Who knows what tricks she's playing behind our backs, it's simply inexplicable.
