Luo Yanran couldn't help but frown when she heard Li Xiu's words, because usually her and Xie Xiao's tis of returning ho were staggered.
Either Xie Xiao would leave work early sotis to pick her up, but they had never noticed anyone following them.
But Li Xiu's expression was also very serious, not seeming like she was lying.
Moreover, based on her description, the first reaction that flashed through Luo Yanran's mind was whether that man might be Yan Shi.
It might be because she had run into him and Zhou Mianmian frequently lately, or maybe because he once took the initiative to approach Xie Xiao to curry favor and inquire about Zhou Mianmian.
If it really was Yan Shi, could it be because he didn't trust what Xie Xiao said that he had started following Xie Xiao?
The more Luo Yanran thought about it, the worse her expression beca. Li Xiu, noticing this, asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Maybe we should call the police..."
Luo Yanran looked at her and gave a smile full of apology, "I'm fine, thank you for telling this. I'm just a bit shocked. As for calling the police, I need to discuss it with Xie Xiao..."
By the ti Xie Xiao returned, Li Xiu had already left.
Xie Xiao carried a bag and casually asked, "Did our neighbor go back ho?"
Luo Yanran was originally washing things in the kitchen until Xie Xiao spoke, which jolted her back to reality.
Xie Xiao imdiately noticed sothing was off. Her mood had been quite good when he left, and she was laughing and talking when she let Li Xiu in, so why did her brows furrow all of a sudden?
Xie Xiao put the items in his hand on the counter and pulled Luo Yanran aside to ask quietly, "What's wrong?"
Looking at Xie Xiao, seeing the worry in his eyes, Luo Yanran exhaled, "It's nothing, I just..."
She paused, "Just now Li Xiu said sothing, it got thinking. Lately, have you felt like soone has been following you? Li Xiu has seen him several tis, a BMW X5, the license plate ends in...89..."
Li Xiu even rembered the license plate number and the car model.
This ant she really had seen the car quite a few tis.
After hearing this, Xie Xiao was taken aback. BMW X5, that sounds like Mr. Ge's car.
He drove a BMW X5 the last ti they went out for a al, but Xie Xiao hadn't paid attention to the license plate then.
At this mont, hearing Luo Yanran seriously repeating what Li Xiu had said,
his first reaction was almost the sa as Luo Yanran's, was it Yan Shi following him?
After all, they hadn't t since the last al, and whether the other party believed what he had said was uncertain.
Luo Yanran hesitated, "Although there's no evidence, I'm wondering if it could be Yan Shi following you? Does he still think Zhou Mianmian is connected to you?"
Xie Xiao took her hand and saw the worry on her face, smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, I'll be careful. If it really is him, he probably just doesn't trust and that's why he keeps following, after a few tis and finding no sign of Zhou Mianmian, he'll probably stop."
Luo Yanran's brows did not relax, "But having soone follow us like this feels a bit terrifying."
Xie Xiao actually felt quite uncomfortable too, but he couldn't let her keep worrying.
So reassuring Luo Yanran, he said, "Look, it's just following, probably will stop after a while, maybe even these few days, don't worry. I will be more alert, and if anything seems off, I'll call the police right away."
He stretched his arms and rocked Luo Yanran in his embrace, "There, we're not children anymore, let's cook now, your husband is starving..."
"Didn't you just eat snacks? How are you hungry again..."
The two of them spoke softly, busying themselves side by side in the kitchen, seemingly changing the topic.
But Xie Xiao's brows quickly furrowed again.
Xie Xiao always takes the subway to work on Mondays, as it's too crowded to drive.
But perhaps it was the influence of Luo Yanran ntioning Li Xiu seeing soone following him,
that made Xie Xiao constantly feel a gaze fixed on him while he was on the subway.
But the car was too crowded, not only turning around, even turning his head was quite an effort.
So Xie Xiao just gave up, let them look.
However, when getting off the train, that gaze didn't follow him off.
Xie Xiao stood outside the carriage, staring at the doors that had already closed, obviously seeing nothing.
Only after the train had left did he silently turn and walk away.
Upon arriving at the office, there was no ti for idle thoughts; every day was packed with work.
Fortunately, one project had just ended, so Xie Xiao and his team didn't have to work overti for now.
As for the new suppliers for the restaurant, Xie Xiao had already identified three and submitted them to Xu Hao, leaving the rest to be discussed with Luo Ming.
However, President Ge probably wouldn't give up easily since Luo Ming was indeed planning to open restaurants on a large scale and turn it into a chain.
This was going to be a lot of money, and once the news broke, many would vie for the opportunity.
Every ti Xie Xiao thought about President Ge, he couldn't help but think of Yan Shi, exhaling deeply, What a ss.
Sister Huang was quick to leave work today, smiling at Xie Xiao, "I'm off, little Xiao. It's the grand old lady's eightieth big birthday back ho today."
"Alright, may the old lady live a long life like Mount Nanshan, goodbye Sister Huang," Xie Xiao hastily said while packing up his things.
Sister Huang chuckled and quickly left.
Xie Xiao then finished packing and began leaving the office.
Although they weren't working overti today, he left later than most of the company's staff, but there were still a few departnts with their lights on, presumably working overti.
That's how work is, the greater your abilities, the greater your responsibilities.
The more you earn, the harder you naturally work than others.
Maybe a minority had it easy, but after all, they were the minority. Your journey continues at empire
After joining the workforce, Xie Xiao received many complints, no, he had received many complints since he was young.
But others only saw his success, and only his family knew about his late-night figure under the desk lamp.
Xie Xiao relaxed his body slightly, but fortunately, the effort he put in was directly proportional to his success, which was in itself lucky.
As usual, Xie Xiao walked while ssaging Luo Yanran.
Only today, he wasn't working overti but Luo Yanran had to.
It wouldn't be very early.
If Xie Xiao had driven, he would have directly had dinner and then waited for her, but he hadn't driven today.
So, he was thinking about grabbing sothing quick to eat, then returning to get the car and pick her up...
Just as he was thinking about it, soone suddenly walked out in front of him.
Xie Xiao stopped and looked over to find Yan Shi blocking his path, "Mr. Xie, hello, our boss invites you for a al."
Xie Xiao looked in the direction he pointed.
He saw a BMW X5 parked on the side of the road, what a coincidence.
Xie Xiao glanced at Yan Shi, "President Ge?"
Yan Shi nodded, "Yes."
Xie Xiao also nodded, without asking further, just walked over, "Then let's go."
Yan Shi was stunned for a mont, Wasn't he going to ask anything?
Xie Xiao knew that since President Ge had waylaid him privately, this eting was inevitable.
The choice was not really in his hands.
