Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Chapter 316 Fishing Enforcement

Xie Xiao carried her upstairs on his back, Luo Yanran squinted her eyes, resting her head on his shoulder, her voice soft, "I think I can feel your heartbeat."

Xie Xiao reached out to open the door while laughing, "Is it beating fast?"

His voice was nonchalant yet indulgent.

Li Xiu opened the door to see their silhouettes.

Both were dressed in formal attire.

The boy was holding the girl's high heels in one hand, the girl pressing close to his back, her two snow-white feet exposed, gently swaying.

A gentle, happy smile was visible on the girl's profile.

Her eyelashes were so long that even from afar, one could see the soft shadows they cast on her fair, small face, every curve radiating tenderness.

The boy was saying something to her, indistinct, but the unmistakable joy in his tired eyes was evident.

There was also the curve of his lips as he smiled.

They were like any ordinary couple, yet somehow not quite.

Li Xiu had encountered many couples, and even she had been in love a few times.

Seemingly, all love begins sweetly.

Blissfully sweet, yet Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran's relationship was different.

To Li Xiu, their bond felt unlike anything she had ever seen, both intimately close and with a deep-seated understanding like an old married couple's certainty.

It seemed as though the fervor of a new relationship and the gentleness of a long-standing one could both be seen between them.

Yet, apart from them, Li Xiu had never seen this in any other couple.

Because aren't these two things somewhat contradictory at the start?

However, standing at the door, Li Xiu watched as Xie Xiao carried the person inside, her eyes brimming with amusement.

Her gaze tinged with envy and longing.

When the door opposite closed, she thought, "They truly are happy. If only it could always be like this. When will I find such a relationship?"

Every time she saw them, she couldn't help but fantasize about love.

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran scarcely noticed they had been seen.

After all, the door was only open for a moment.

Xie Xiao carried her to the sofa and gently set her down.

The person being set down still held onto Xie Xiao's neck, clearly in a playful mood.

Actually, Xie Xiao was quite tired from working all day and attending a gathering with Ge Hui in the evening.

Yet, he let Luo Yanran cling to him playfully, sitting down with her on the sofa.

Luo Yanran pushed him onto the sofa and felt his body relax.

Then she laid on top of him, her ear against the direction of his heart, listening to the rhythmic, pulsating heartbeat.

She whispered softly, "I like the sound of your heartbeat. Were you very tired today?"

The fatigue on Xie Xiao's face was clearly visible to anyone.

And Luo Yanran, who knew him so well, could see it at a glance.

Xie Xiao hummed in response, gazing downward, his hand gently unraveling her hair.

Her beautiful hair flowed loose behind her.

Xie Xiao's fingers combed through her hair as he quietly told her about his day's work, including his encounters with Ge Hui and Yan Shi.

Luo Yanran occasionally responded, not interrupting him.

Only after Xie Xiao sighed and finished speaking did she finally speak, "Yan Shi probably won't bother you again after today, but what about Ge Hui?"

Xie Xiao relaxed his hand, still resting it on her head, looking up at the ceiling, his voice contemplative, "Uncle said he would handle it. We'll see how things go, it's not a big deal."

"But didn't you say that Ge Hui has some connections with the gangs?" Luo Yanran sounded worried.

But Xie Xiao smiled and said, "It's a society governed by law. They won't go too far. I'm just an employee, after all."

Luo Yanran looked up at him as Xie Xiao offered her a reassuring smile.

Luo Yanran said, "Alright then."

She then leaned up to leave a kiss on his lips before getting up from him, "I'll draw a bath for you. You're very tired today, and it just so happens that the essential oils I ordered a few days ago have arrived."

He was about to walk into the bedroom barefoot.

Xie Xiao reminded him, "Wear your shoes!"

From inside, Luo Yanran's voice could be heard, "I know~ There are shoes in the bedroom~"

Indeed, their relationship had reached the stage of an old married couple.

Xie Xiao listened to the sounds from the bedroom, his eyes full of tenderness, his attention entirely on that voice.

He could even roughly guess what Luo Yanran was doing just by the sound.

This was the tacit understanding between them.

Just now, when Luo Yanran mentioned charging, it was not just for her, but for him too.

He felt much better now.

Xie Xiao breathed out slowly, sat up, and then walked inside.

The feeling of home was truly wonderful; home is wherever the loved one is.

In the following days, Ge Hui indeed did not contact Xie Xiao again.

It was unclear whether Luo Ming and Xu Hao had already handled it.

Xie Xiao did not pay too much attention to it; after all, he was genuinely very busy every day, with too many tasks to handle.

Especially since Xu Hao felt he had learned enough, the latest restaurant project was now Xie Xiao's responsibility.

Of course, this was bound to be difficult initially.

A rookie who had just started working not long ago, how could he be in charge of such a big project?

Xu Hao had mentioned that they still did not know who Ge Hui was looking for.

But Xu Hao directly brought out the "Yun Xiang" internet company that Xie Xiao and Qi Yan had started.

Now, those who were somewhat skeptical of Xie Xiao's youth, dared not speak out.

Although he was young, he was the head of a company, and not a small one at that.

It was a leading company in the live streaming industry.

Although it was uncertain whether this young company could maintain its leading position,

at least for now, it was still the leader.

The voice briefly stopped.

People started to guess who Xie Xiao really was, wondering if he might be a relative of some shareholder or big boss.

Xu Hao chose not to tell them that Xie Xiao was Luo Ming's prospective son-in-law.

This was also a good opportunity to fish for information.

In the project, nobody knew who Xie Xiao was, but the person who had been in contact with Ge Hui might very well know.

Xie Xiao and his team were waiting for this person to come to them proactively.

As they had anticipated, just after Xie Xiao left the office on Friday evening,

he ran into several colleagues on his way down.

Because there was no overtime today.

But when he reached the parking lot, Xie Xiao was finally called.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, finally, they had spoken.

The person who called him was one of the original project leaders.

This time Xie Xiao had taken over the project directly.

One or two of the original three leaders were to be removed.

Xie Xiao and Xu Hao hadn't decided who yet.

The person who stopped Xie Xiao was an old employee who had been at the company for a long time.

They usually called him Brother Yang, his real name being Yang Yuan.

At that moment, Yang Yuan called out to Xie Xiao with a smile, "Little Xie, heading home?"

Xie Xiao turned and smiled at him, "Yes, Brother Yang, are you heading home too?"
