Chapter 106: Went to Treat the White‑Eyed Wolf
Lu Xiwán, who had been treated as a background prop, was speechless for a moment, then entered the office.
She had just sat down a short while when Wang Yuan came in, looking at her with a worried expression.
"Wanwan sis, are you okay? What they said was really over the line…"
Lu Xiwán shook her head. "It's fine, let them say whatever they want. You don't need to worry about this; just focus on your work." After speaking, she covered her mouth and yawned, her dark circles under her eyes catching attention.
She always kept a detached demeanor, and Wang Yuan couldn't figure out what was really going on.
"What on earth is happening? What they said was too much!"
"If we really don't care, who knows what nonsense they'll spout."
Just holding Yun Ruojin was already enough, yet they still had to pull Lu Xiwán into it, and that's what made Wang Yuan angry.
"Don't bring it up; last night I spent the whole night treating a white‑eyed wolf."
First thing in the morning, they gave her a cold shoulder and even specially sent Yun Ruojin over.
When Lu Xiwán mentioned it, she was fuming, feeling like her white eyes would flip up to the heavens.
"But aren't you a Psychologist? How can you treat animals?" Wang Yuan's understanding was completely refreshed, propping her cheek and looking at the surprised Lu Xiwán.
The kid was simply adorable, and Lu Xiwán couldn't bear to keep explaining.
"I can't handle sick kittens and puppies, but I can still try with a white‑eyed wolf!"
The door creaked open from outside, and Fu Sijue, his face grim, stood there.
"Miss Xi, you think I'm a white‑eyed wolf?" His whole aura was icy, and the air seemed to thicken.
Seeing the unfriendly visitor, Lu Xiwán set a stern face toward him, her words tinged with a hint of anger.
"President Fu, why take it so personally? I was talking about a white‑eyed wolf, not you." After speaking, Lu Xiwán felt the surrounding pressure drop considerably.
Poor Wang Yuan's frail body trembled, and she huddled at her desk, trying hard to make herself less noticeable.
Fu Sijue pressed his thin lips together, remaining silent, his gaze flickering back and forth between Lu Xiwán and Fu Sijue.
A moment later, she suddenly realized and let out a long "oh."
"Wanwan sis, you were actually at President Fu's home last night!"
But they said Yun Ruojin was also at President Fu's home last night… Wang Yuan's pupils dilated in shock.
What a hellish scene last night was!
Wang Yuan, excited, let her voice drift out through the opened office door, and for a moment everyone outside heard the commotion inside.
Lu Xiwán blushed, her old face completely ruined.
How will she ever face these people again!
Her body's reaction was faster than her brain; Lu Xiwán lunged forward and covered Wang Yuan's mouth.
"Lower your voice! I still care about my reputation."
But it seemed useless; any further attempt by Lu Xiwán to remedy the situation was in vain.
Fu Sijue's previously tense nerves were broken by this, and he suddenly burst into laughter.
He tossed the object in his hand onto the desk.
"Why still be shy? It's not the first time anyway. Next time you go out, be careful; the car key fell at the door."
After Fu Sijue said that, Lu Xiwán finally realized, turned her bag inside out, and could only, embarrassingly, admit that the key was hers.
"Who told you to bring it to me!"
Lu Xiwán was determined to regain the lost face no matter what she said.
Fu Sijue, however, sat calmly opposite her, a hint of smile in his ink‑dark eyes.
"You left the car key at my doorstep, and I brought it back for you—still not okay? You don't want the car anymore?"
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; Fu Sijue now understood why Xie Zian kept muttering that phrase every day.
Who knows what this woman is thinking.
