Gu Xi Jue raised his eyebrows, and looked at her as if he was a fool: "Aren't you wasting my identity by not even using it?"

"I am willing to be used by you." Gu Xi Jue said confidently, his gaze on her incomparably scorching hot.

She could see that his kindness was real, but she was not.

Xia Lan was panicking in her heart. After a while, her mouth curved into a smile. "Gourmet, I should go out to work."

Gu Xi Jue's pupils shrank. She was dodging, dodging him again.

With a slight frown, he pursed his lips. Their relationship was like a game. In this game of love, whoever first falls in love would lose completely.

Evidently, he had lost completely compared to Xia Lan, and Xia Lan did not have the slightest bit of mercy towards him.

Although he was extremely unhappy, Gu Xi Jue knew that he couldn't force her too much.

"Alright, you go out to work first." Gu Xi Jue nodded, his tone downcast and his eyes revealing a trace of certainty.

Xia Lan turned and quickly left his office.

Looking at her swiftly walking back, the certainty in Gu Xi Jue's eyes grew deeper. He silently said in his heart: Xia Lan, I will make you fall for it.

After exiting Gu Xi Jue's office, Xia Lan's entire being had become restless. He had not heard many times that someone had spoken to her.

She really couldn't understand why Gu Xi Jue would suddenly confess to her. Wasn't his attitude changing a little too fast?

Seeing how serious he was, it didn't seem like he was joking. What's more … Gu Xi Jue was not a person who would casually joke around either. The words he said must definitely be true.

So when did he start liking her?

How deep and seriously did he like her?

After thinking for an entire afternoon, Xia Lan came up with an answer. The reason why Gu Xi Jue liked her was probably because of Xiao Ze.

Because Xiao Ze liked her, he hoped that she would be his mother and he had also told Gu Xi Jue this idea before.

So Xia Lan thought that Gu Xi Jue's sudden change in attitude must be because he thought that she should be able to take care of Xiao Ze's mother.

That must be it!

If that was the case, then the pressure in Xia Lan's heart wasn't that great!

What she was afraid of was that Gu Xi Jue would take her for real, and if he did not consider Xiao Ze or anyone else, she would take his feelings for him.

She really didn't have the energy to talk about feelings right now.

After thinking it through, Xia Lan finally threw herself into work with all her heart.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice when she got off work. Only when Gu Xi Jue knocked on her door did she realize that her other colleagues had all left.

"Such a serious employee, shouldn't I consider giving you a raise?" Gu Xi Jue said as he pointed to his watch.

Xia Lan raised her head to look at the clock on the wall. It was only then did she realise that half an hour had passed since she got off work.

"What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you leaving?" Gu Xi Jue stood at the door and asked impatiently.

Xia Lan pursed her lips, closed the phone, packed her bag, and walked out of the office.

The two of them went into the elevator together. Gu Xi Jue first went to the first parking lot, then went to the first floor.

Gu Xi Jue frowned as he stared at her. There was displeasure in his eyes.

Although he did not say anything, Xia Lan had already sensed the low pressure around her. After being silent for two seconds, she opened her mouth and said: "It's not along the way, so there's no need to trouble Gourmet. I will take the subway myself."

"Go back to where? You promised Xiao Ze that you would sleep with him at night. Gu Xi Jue asked.

As soon as he said that, he added, "My hand, how do I drive?"

Xia Lan just remembered that she had already agreed to stay in Gu Xi Jue's home!

And forget about the injury to his hand!

"Do you have any objections?" Gu Xi Jue raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Nope."

"You want to go back on your word?"

"Nope."

"That's good!" Gu Xi Jue was satisfied.

When the elevator reached the first floor, the doors closed and the two of them reached the lower floor.

"Such a serious employee, shouldn't I consider giving you a raise?" Gu Xi Jue said as he pointed to his watch.

Xia Lan just remembered that she had already agreed to stay in Gu Xi Jue's home!

And forget about the injury to his hand!

However, even though it is the truth, Xia Lan could not help but mutter in her heart: When you tease me and touch my feet, didn't his hand also not delay anything?

"Do you have any objections?" Gu Xi Jue raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Nope."

"You want to go back on your word?"

"Nope."

"That's good!" Gu Xi Jue was satisfied.

When the elevator reached the first floor, the doors closed and the two of them reached the lower floor.

They drove to pick up Xiao Ze together. Gu Xi Jue was still sitting in the car waiting, while Xia Lan stood at the school entrance waiting.

Gu Xi Jue sat in the car and looked at Xia Lan, who was mixed into the group of mama at the entrance. Amongst the group of women, she was the prettiest and had the most temperament.

When he looked at it, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up. Wasn't this feeling pretty good?

Only Gu Xi Jue himself knew how it worked.

Xiao Ze ran out of the group of children and hugged onto Xia Lan's leg. "Beautiful auntie, I knew you would come with daddy to pick Xiao Ze up."

Xiao Ze's chubby face was full of happiness.

Patting his head, Xia Lan held his little hand and walked towards the street like a black car.

After getting on the car, Xiao Ze laughed and asked: "Daddy, beautiful auntie, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue and gave him a friendly reminder: There's no more food in the fridge.
