He heard Lou Wei say, “Had you forgotten the cup?”

Lin Xiu hurriedly looked down at her hands, “I…I think I forgot.” Just when she was about to turn around to take a coffee cup, she suddenly remembered that she had come to deliver coffee five minutes ago, “No, I ——”

But before she could finish her words, Lou Wei interrupted her, “You seem a little nervous?”

In fact, Lou Wei already felt something was wrong just now. While he was talking on the phone, he realized that Lin Xiu was inside his office for a long time. Usually, when a person is making a phone call, they would feel that time passes by very quickly and they wouldn’t really take notice of the time at all. However, Lou Wei really hated it when others stepped foot into his working space. He would get very vigilant every second.   

Just like now.

The woman’s attire and tone were not really different from before, but he just felt that something was wrong.

Lin Xiu quickly shook her head, “I’m not. I’m not.” She looked really nervous as she spoke, but at the same time, she also looked like every employee who is around the big boss, “Well, I am indeed a little nervous.”

Lou Wei looked at her calm look and he realized that he might have been oversensitive. To be honest, he didn’t really take note of the time when he saw Lin Xiu entering his office. Perhaps he had made a wrong judgement of the length of time while he was on the phone. After all, his conversation flow with Ding Yuxiao was done rather quickly. 

So he waved his hand and said, “Your brother is a senior staff member of the company. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask him. And you can also ask me if you want. There’s no need to be too nervous.” 

Lin Xiu nodded repeatedly. When Wen Fan heard what Lou Wei said, the tensed nerves and tendons in his body snapped. A great wave of disappointment swept across him.

It’s really over now.

Lou Wei didn’t notice Lin Xiu’s abnormality.

Wen Fan suddenly felt what it is like to be in grieve disappointment. He heard Lou Wei tell Lin Xiu to go back, and his last glimmer of hope disappeared. He already began to wonder if this body would turn into a string of bright blue data after he died.

This idea made him feel sad for a while. It’s really sad that he couldn’t even leave behind a body when he passed away!

Lou Wei wasn’t aware that he is just less than half a meter away from Wen Fan.  

He beckoned Lin Xiu asking her to return to her office and watched as she pressed the elevator button again. Lou Wei did not leave immediately. His mind wandered back to the negotiation he had with Ding Yuxiao just now and he planned to go downstairs to discuss with Zhang Xuan who had been working on contract negotiations with celebrities.

When the elevator door opened, he followed Lin Xiu to the elevator.

They stood side by side, facing the elevator door together.

Lou Wei stood on the right side of Lin Xiu. He looked straight ahead, while Lin Xiu looked sideways.

At first, Lou Wei thought that Lin Xiu was a shy lady, so he deliberately stepped aside to keep a distance from her, trying not to make her feel nervous.

But the moment Lou Wei lowered his gaze, he noticed from the reflection of the elevator door panel that something was odd with Lin Xiu’s clothes.  

Yuancheng Technology is not a company with strict regulations, but it still has its own set of basic corporate etiquette. For example, employees must wear formal attire, and the ladies formal wear is mostly tight fit. Not to mention that Lin Xiu is extremely thin, even if there are wrinkles around her waist area, they would have been slanted. 

But the wrinkles on her waist area were horizontal. The wrinkles ran across the abdomen, and it was even around the side pockets as if they had been stretched by something angular.

Or perhaps she bent down just now?     

And it also looked a little like…there was something inside her pocket.

Even the hem of the front flap is slightly protruding forward. It was obvious that there was something protruding from her abdomen area which caused the shirt to rise.

Lou Wei thought for a while and whispered, “May I borrow your phone for a while?”

Lin Xiu, who had been looking to the side, turned her head immediately. Her reaction was extremely sensitive and quick to meet with his gaze.

Lin Xiu did not say anything, but she did not dare to ignore Lou Wei.

She hesitated to take out her mobile phone from her left pocket, and carefully handed it to Lou Wei.

When Lou Wei was talking on the phone on the left side of the corridor, Lin Xiu put Lou Wei’s mobile phone in her right pocket so that Lou Wei would not notice her pocket when she walked past him after exiting his office. Even if Lou Wei stands on her left side, he would not be able to see inside her right pocket. 

But when they were both inside the elevator, Lou Wei was now standing on the right of Lin Xiu. The pockets of formal wear were very shallow. In order to prevent Lou Wei from seeing the phone in her pocket, Lin Xiu extended her left hand and took out her mobile phone from the left pocket, and handed it to Lou Wei while her right arms subconsciously clamped the right pocket tightly.

When Lou Wei took the mobile phone from her hand, Lin Xiu’s body went stiff and she even held her breath. She was so nervous that her skin was covered with goosebumps.

Luckily, Lou Wei was just checking the time from her mobile phone and did nothing else. He then returned her mobile phone and Lin Xiu immediately extended her left hand to take it. She secretly let out a sigh of relief and was about to put her phone back into her left pocket.

Just when she was in the middle of letting out her sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a tug on her arm and Lou Wei’s hand reached inside her pocket. 

This is it.

Lin Xiu immediately crumbled.

Her face went pale as she watched Lou Wei took out the mobile phone from her pocket

“This is your phone…?” Lou Wei clenched tightly on the personal phone and stared at Lin Xiu with a cold eye. There was not a single expression on his face, and it was a look that was more terrifying than any expression.

The man’s already cold facial features were terrifyingly cold. Right now, his eyes were gloomy and it was even more spine-chilling terrifying.
