Chapter 108: Want to See You Wear That Outfit

Bai Shuruo leaned against him, then looked at the two of them in the mirror; she was in a white dress, and he was in a suit. For the first time, she felt that she and he were such a match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect pair.

He lowered his head, wanting to kiss her, but she dodged.

"Brother Han, don't, my face is dirty."

She had heavy makeup on, her false eyelashes hadn't been torn off, she had applied several layers of foundation, and her hair was sprayed with setting glue; it was more complicated than a photo studio shoot. She wasn't used to it at all, feeling that if he kissed her, he would just be kissing all sorts of powder.

Han Yangting knew she was uncomfortable with the makeup, so he didn't force a kiss.

But he turned her body around and lifted her chin.

She looked at him in return, a faint smile on her face.

"Is Ruoruo happy today?"

She said: "I'm happy. Brother Han, thank you for throwing this birthday party for me, I... like it very much."

Ever since her father passed away, she had never felt like a princess again; she was very grateful to them.

Han Yangting held her waist, pulling her close to him, then lowered his head and asked: "Then how are you going to thank me?"

Her face flushed.

Knowing full well he was leading her in that direction, she deliberately pretended not to understand: "Should I knead your legs? Or... pound your back for you?"

He touched her face and said: "Before, your sister went to Thailand and brought back a very special outfit for you; I want to see you wear that one."

She paused, then shyly scolded: "Brother Han, you're bad, I'm not talking to you!"

Having said that, she tried to push him away.

He pulled her back into his arms, "Didn't you say your body was dirty? Shall we go wash up together?"

Together?

"No."

Han Yangting had already picked her up: "Let's go, I'll take you to experience the constant-temperature swimming pool in the Castle."

She lied: "But I don't know how to swim."

"I'll teach you."

Two days later, Fengcheng.

Bai Shuruo returned to the company to work.

Bai Shunan was very happy to see her and said: "I haven't seen you for a while, Ruoruo, you look really spirited, and your cheeks have gotten a bit rounder too. It must be because Han Yangting has been taking good care of you, right? It's rare that you're even willing to come back; if it were me, I wouldn't come back. How nice it is to enjoy life in the Castle!"

Bai Shuruo quickly said: "Sister, wasn't it you who kept telling me not to rely on men? That a girl must have a career no matter what?"

Bai Shunan pinched her cheek again: "You silly girl, by following Han Yangting, you can have a bigger career and more choices. Haven't you seen those women who marry into wealthy families? They are all active in the socialite circles, building connections for their husbands."

"But I'm not good at that kind of work. I still feel it's better to work here with you; it gives me a sense of accomplishment," Bai Shuruo said.

Bai Shunan said: "Then as you wish. By the way, I plan to hire another designer to assist you; they might arrive in the next two days."

Bai Shuruo was delighted: "Assist me? So I'm going to have a subordinate?"

"We discussed it a couple of days ago. Because there's a lot of business now, there should be at least three design positions and five assistant designers. We'll add more people later, and you will lead all of them."

Bai Shuruo smiled until her eyes curved; she was actually going to be a little leader.

On the second day after returning to work, the receptionist called Bai Shuruo: "Supervisor Bai, your person has arrived?"

"My person?" Bai Shuruo was browsing a car forum at the time and didn't react for a moment.

"It's the designer. Old Liu from the HR department said he was hired for you. He had something to do and went out, so he asked you to come out and collect the person."

Bai Shuruo finally realized that a newcomer had arrived, so she hurried out.

Reception.

Bai Shuruo saw a young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, a tall and slender build, fair skin, wearing a blue hooded T-shirt and a pair of light-colored jeans.

When he stood, his upper body was a bit lazy, his legs crossed as he leaned against the reception desk, carrying a sense of laziness and roguishness.

Seeing Bai Shuruo, he waved at her: "Hello, Supervisor Bai, my name is Meng Ze."

Bai Shuruo paused.

Meng Ze was handsome, good-looking, and roguish; he was the type young girls liked, especially with that cocky look in his eyes, as if he were flirting with everyone he looked at.

She steadied herself and then said generously: "Hello, my name is Bai Shuruo, please come with me."

She brought him to the office.

Because she knew they were adding staff, she had added two computer desks to the room.

She pointed to the one at the front and said: "Meng Ze, you... just sit here."

Meng Ze sat down; his long legs and arms seemed to have nowhere to go, and he adjusted his chair for quite a while.

While he was adjusting the chair, Bai Shuruo was also thinking about what work to assign him.

But Meng Ze seemed to have his own ideas; he turned to Bai Shuruo and asked: "Supervisor Bai, why don't I optimize our company's brochure? I took a look and felt something was missing."

Bai Shuruo asked him: "What did you do before?"

"I also did exterior design before, but it was for drones."

"How many years did you do it?"

"I've been doing it ever since I graduated, for about three or four years. I've won quite a few awards during that time."

"Oh, then you're quite impressive," Bai Shuruo said: "Since you have design experience, you should look at the car forums more; that way you'll have inspiration."

Bai Shuruo actually felt a bit guilty, always feeling that she lacked experience yet had to lead someone more experienced than herself.

Whether Meng Ze saw through her thoughts or not, he actually looked at her with that roguish, bad-boy gaze and said: "But I think I still need to learn more from Supervisor Bai. I've seen the car exterior designs you've done; they are all both dynamic and cool. To be honest, I applied for this job because of Supervisor Bai."

Bai Shuruo: "..."

For some reason, she felt there was something else in Meng Ze's eyes.

Admiration, worship, and a hint of flirtation.

She was not sure if that look of his was flirtatious; perhaps he was just that kind of slightly mischievous boy who looked at everyone with that same gaze.

……

Because the company's business had been very good lately, they had been hiring quite a few new people.

If one wanted the company to have cohesion, then company activities naturally could not be lacking.

The Human Resources Department recently planned a basketball friendly match; regardless of whether they lost or won, they could all go eat barbecue.

The Design Department, managed by Bai Shuruo, had few people and only one man, Meng Ze, so the Design Department teamed up with Quality and Human Resources to play against the Production Department.

The day of the match was a Friday evening, and after playing basketball, they were going to eat a late-night snack together, so Bai Shuruo specifically sent a message to Han Yangting, telling her not to wait for him tonight, as she would be returning later.

Han Yangting replied in a second with two words: "Alright."

Before putting down her phone, she took another look at his profile picture.

It was still the movie poster for *Love Letter*.

She was stunned for a moment.

Ever since she went to Beishi with him, their relationship seemed to have improved somewhat; mainly, her affection for him had increased a lot.

She thought, regardless of whether he married her because of love, she must be a good wife.

If he had the need, then the two of them could also share a bed in the house in Fengcheng.

As for having a baby... that could also be done in two years, no need to wait five or six.

Just as she was thinking this, someone ran in; it was Meng Ze, who had already changed into his basketball uniform.

"Supervisor Bai, the match is about to start, aren't you going out yet?" Meng Ze said with a smile.

When he smiled, one corner of his mouth curled up, looking roguishly handsome.

Bai Shuruo said, "Going now."

Meng Ze headed out first, leaving her with a view of his back, and on his back was a jersey printed with the number 7.

Bai Shuruo looked at that jersey, and a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
