Han Luoli hugged Gu Xiaoer tightly, pressing his forehead against hers.
He placed her on the washbasin countertop, and his hands shaped into a circle, firmly encircling Gu Xiaoer.
"The way you get jealous is really cute!"
Gu Xiaoer's face turned red, and she retorted stubbornly, "Don't flatter yourself! Is the jealousy of a rented man that fragrant?"
"Xiao Er, Xiao Er..." he called her name softly, "Xiao Er, I was waiting for you that day too, but something sudden came up, and I had to leave first. I've been dealing with that matter for the past few days. Can you forgive me?"
Gu Xiaoer pursed her lips. Her heart felt stuffy and blocked, and she didn't want to forgive this man so easily.
She escaped, pushing Han Luoli forcefully, breaking free from his encirclement, and dived into the bed covers in one breath, covering her head, body, and arms completely.
Han Luoli could not help but laugh helplessly, deciding not to continue the previous topic.
So wary of him, huh!
For the first time in his life, he had the thought of forcing a woman.
But... having her agree willingly seemed to give him a greater sense of achievement.
As days passed by, the design submission deadline was fast approaching. Gu Xiaoer worked like a madwoman these past few days, putting in overtime to complete the renderings.
Fortunately, Han Luoli was by her side, and he never neglected her, including kissing.
Although there was still a bit of resistance, her heart was filled with sweetness.
Sometimes when she raised her head from the exhausting design work, she would see him at first glance. Either reading a magazine, fiddling with his phone, or quietly squinting his eyes.
Who says that the most enduring confession is companionship? She really hoped that this companionship could last a lifetime.
The competition was scheduled for the end of April.
After several all-nighters, Gu Xiaoer finally finished her work to her satisfaction.
She saved the electronic photos and the design draft carefully, and only after checking several times to ensure there were no issues did she feel relieved.
Gu Xiaoer felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest, happily awaiting the on-site evaluation.
Since it was a design competition, both Shenghan Group and the school decided to submit the entries on-site and select anonymously. In any case, with Shenghan Group involved, any favoritism, plagiarism, or imitation incidents were absolutely prohibited.
It wasn't that she was blindly confident, but the entry should perform well, and even Han Luoli had to admit, this girl truly had talent in this area.
While Gu Xiaoer was busy with her design, Han Luoli was also occupied with business trips. The young CEO, newly in charge, faced challenges from the veterans within the company.
However, for the deep-thinking Han Luoli, he didn't take those people seriously at all.
In the president's office of Shenghan, Wei Feng brought a telephone to Han Luoli, his expression troubled: "Boss, it's the old man's call..."
