"You turn around." Wang Yuxuan's gaze fell on Li Rouxi's stiff back.
Li Rouxi frowned deeply. She didn't move and was still struggling.
"Miss Li, president Wang is calling for you." The reception assistant reminded Li Rouxi.
Li Rouxi screamed "it's over" in her heart, then slowly turned around, facing Wang Yuxuan's direction, but her eyes still down on the floor.
She didn't dare to look directly at him. She felt guilty, so guilty that both of her legs were weak.
"Hold up your head." Wang Yuxuan stared at Li Rouxi, but his tone was gentle with a commanding that others couldn't disobey.
Li Rouxi then looked up, but across Wang Yuxuan at somewhere else. As long as she didn't look at his magical eyes, she would be less afraid.
Li Rouxi had a beautiful and pure face, with her eyes bright and attractive, and her lips like cherry blossoms. Her silky hair was tied into a low pony tail, appearing clean and capable.
A tailored women's black suit, pencil trousers that accentuated her beautiful legs… This woman appeared elegant from head to toe.
"Mr. Wang, what's the matter?" Li Rouxi tried to relax herself and behaved naturally.
"Who are you?" Wang Yuxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
When he passed by her, he felt a familiar feeling coming from her body.
"I am Li Rouxi, a senior designer in the design department of City Tianjin TJ Group. Today I am here to speak with Mr. Feng of WG Group about the theatre design project." Li Rouxi calmly introduced herself and the purpose of her trip.
"Li Rouxi...." Wang Yuxuan's dark eyes flashed a bit of playfulness, savouring the name carefully.
But Li Rouxi felt a trace of heat on her face because of how intimately he called her name. Her heart swayed uneasily.
She breathed deeply in her heart, hoping Wang Yuxuan would not recognize her.
After all, the lights were dim on that night five years ago,and because of the drug, he could not see her very clearly.
And she put on heavy make-up, so he wouldn't think that the garish woman from five years ago was the same person as the professional woman she was now, right?
"Miss Li, have we met before?" Wang Yuxuan looked at Li Rouxi up and down.
Li Rouxi was startled, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
"President Wang, I have been living in City Tianjin. This is my first time in City Beijing. Besides, how could a person of position like President Wang have met an ordinary person like me. You must be mistaken." Li Rouxi hid the past and smiled slightly.
"Really?" Wang Yuxuan raised an eyebrow lightly. "It seemed that I remembered wrong."
Li Rouxi stood in place, very anxious, just wanting to end this episode as soon as possible. "If there isn't anything else President Wang needed, then we'll be heading to the meeting."
"Miss Li, I look forward to the cooperation." Wang Yuxuan's thin lips raised an inscrutable smile, which made his handsome face even more eye-catching and compelling.
Li Rouxi was a little stunned at that moment, but quickly calmed down. "President Wang, please advise."
When Wang Yuxuan turned around and walked away with his long legs, Li Rouxi relaxed, and she couldn't help but stretch her hand to pinch her chest tightly. Her back was full of cold sweat.
The two-minute conversation with Wang Yuxuan made her feel as if she had just fought a tough battle that she was exhausted physically and mentally.
Wang Yuxuan retrieved his glance from Li Rouxi's back, and came Nyle Feng joking voice. "Wang Yuxuan, Miss Li is your type?"
From school to now, he had never seen his friend Wang Yuxuan's eyes stay on a woman for more than three seconds. There was something fishy for sure.
Wang Yuxuan's gaze only swept across Feng's curious face. "You are overthinking it."
Nyle Feng, "..."

President Office.
~~~~~~~~~
Wang Yuxuan pulled open the bottom drawer on the right and took out two red marriage certificates from it.
The certificates had been in his office for more than two years. He only looked at them two years ago and never looked at them again.
Now they were still as brand new and Wang Yuxuan as they were when he received three years ago.
Wang Yuxuan flipped opened one of the marriage certificates with his long fingers.
The column for the certificate holder read Li Rouxi, and the column for spouse read Wang Yuxuan.
The woman in the photo had a simple ponytail, her face was clean and pure, and her simple white dress looked very elegant, but it was hard to hide her outstanding qualities.
The man next to him was also in a white shirt, his handsome face was indifferent, and he looked detached from the woman.
Indeed, this wedding photo was a photoshopped product. He didn't even show up to get the certificate; his friends did it for him.
He was in a car accident and injured his leg and was resting in the hospital, but it was imperative to obtain the certificate, so he had to have a friend help me through video.
"Li Rouxi, so you are the Mrs. Wang who I have never met before."
Wang Yuxuan picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Yao, guess who I saw today!"
The friend Meng Yao on the other end of the phone was taken back. "Who? The daughter of the Chen family who came back from studying abroad? She came to pester you again?"
"It's Mrs. Wang." Wang Yuxuan leaned against the back of the chair, and lightly pressed the edge of the table with one hand, but his eyes did not leave the marriage certificate.
"..." Yao was stunned for a second and then suddenly realized. "Wang Yuxuan, I almost forgot about it if you didn't tell me. Did she come to find you? Impossible. Ah, she didn't even know that the person who married her was you. And she seems know her place, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you choose her back then."
Only because Wang Yuxuan's stepmother gained a firm foothold in Wang's family and made quite a lot of moves in recent years.
Wang Yuxuan had to get married to get shares in the family. But he wouldn't marry the woman his father and stepmother chose, he was looking out for qualified wife himself.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yao introduced the desperate Li Rouxi him.
She needed money and Wang Yuxuan needed a contract wife. After three years, he could be free. The only requirement was to abide by the contract, and they would once again become strangers.
Everything went so smoothly, and all the procedures were handled by Meng Yao, so Wang Yuxuan's knowledge of this nominal wife was limited to the name and photo on the marriage certificate.
"She is a designer of TJ Group and came to talk about work today." Wang Yuxuan did not expect to meet his nominal wife in his company.
"How does it feel to have your wife talk to you about work?" Yao chuckled, joking with Wang Yuxuan.
"Her level is not enough for me to personally receive her." Wang Yuxuan replied with much arrogance.
"Yes, anyway, two months and it'll be three years. It is better not to have unnecessary conflicts before the divorce." Yao thought that it was better to avoid trouble.
"Yeah." Wang Yuxuan disconnected from the line.
Li Rouxi...
Mrs. Wang…
