After everything that had happened in the afternoon, Sha Zhixing happily invited Shi Qinuo to dinner.
Shi Qinuo was only joking at first, but he did not expect her to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment.
He had never been invited by a woman in his entire life.
After a moment of silence, Sha Zhixing's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Luo Xichen.
She glanced at him and walked to the side to answer the phone.
Luo Xichen had a lot of things to do today and needed to work overtime. He called to say that he might be back very late, and asked Sha Zhixing to prepare dinner for him.
Sha Zhixing looked at the time on her phone. It was 6:30, neither early nor late, but Luo Xichen usually had dinner at this time too.
Sha Zhixing wanted to ignore him and go to her own dinner with Shi Qinuo. However, she gave up the impulse when she thought of his good qualities.
This seemed a little too heartless.
"Is that from Xichen?" Shi Qinuo guessed a little when he saw her silence.
Sha Zhixing nodded and said apologetically, "Xichen has a lot on his plate tonight. I want to help him out. How about I invite you another day?"
"Who asked you to invite me?" Shi Qinuo scoffed and walked to the elevator with a cold expression on his face.
Sha Zhixing looked at his back. Just as he was about to enter the elevator, her voice suddenly rang out. "Thank you, Qinuo!"
Shi Qinuo's back stiffened as he looked at her.
This was the first time she had called him by his name...
Shi Qinuo's thin lips curled into a faint smile as he stepped into the elevator with his slender legs.
The people from the company had almost all left by now. Sha Zhixing went downstairs after he left and bought two dinners from a nearby restaurant. She went to Luo Xichen's office in a good mood.
Luo Xichen was dealing with some business when she reached the door.
When he saw her, his eyes were fixed on her still red and swollen face.
Sha Zhixing's skin was very fair and her skin was very good. Normally, if he pinched it too hard, it would turn red, not to mention this afternoon.
On the side of her fair face, there was a very obvious redness and swelling.
Luo Xichen put the document in his hand aside and looked at her with a deep gaze. His deep eyes were covered with a layer of frost.
"What happened?" His tone was cold as he watched her approach step by step.
How dare he touch his woman? He was courting death!
"A cat ran out and grabbed someone. It's fine now," Sha Zhixing said casually. She sat down next to him and tidied up the things on his table. She made a large space and placed two plates of dinner on the table.
Luo Xichen did not ask further since she did not say anything.
Wouldn't it be easy to find out what happened in the company?
Luo Xichen pulled Sha Zhixing into his arms and held her face with his cold hands. He locked his eyes on her face and said, "If something like this happens again, you'll have to return the injured ones to me. Do you understand?"
Sha Zhixing smiled faintly after he said that.
In fact, she preferred to smile and watch others fight on her behalf rather than fight back.
"It's time for dinner!" Sha Zhixing came back to her senses and wanted to sit back in her seat. Luo Xichen suddenly tightened his arms around her and pressed her back into his arms.
"What's wrong?" She raised her head slowly and looked surprised.
Luo Xichen looked at her quietly and said, "Zhixing, I'm going abroad for a period of time tomorrow."
