Seeing him throw his phone on the bar counter and pick up a cup of black coffee, Lu Haiqiao was puzzled, so she asked, “Why didn’t you answer the call?”

Xie Xuan handed over the black coffee and said indifferently, “I don’t want to take it. It’s annoying.”

“It seems like your cousin is quite quick to complain.” Lu Haiqiao took the coffee cup and sipped the warm Americano.

Hearing this, Xie Xuan looked at Lu Haiqiao beside him with an extremely worried gaze. “She’s not as silly and sweet as you saw just now.”

Lu Haiqiao understood this.

She was born into a family that fought openly and secretly. Even though she had been raised to be a little arrogant, she was definitely not stupid.

However, in the next second, she heard Xie Xuan say disdainfully, “But it’s about the same. In my opinion, she’s a fool.”

Lu Haiqiao was speechless.

“After all, she’s your biological cousin. You’re related by blood. Take it easy.”

“Now that Zheng Shuangshuang knows about our relationship, my aunt must know too.” Xie Xuan leaned back against the bar counter, his elbow leaning back against the counter. “I’ve always been at odds with them, and you might become one of their targets.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Haiqiao smiled. “In that case, the call just now might not be a condemnation, but a test?”

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows in agreement.

After finishing the coffee, Lu Haiqiao put down the cup.

She tilted her head and stared at Xie Xuan’s worried face. She smiled indifferently. “Alright, I know what you want to say. You want me to be careful, right?”

“Don’t worry. Sometimes, it takes a woman to deal with a woman. Perhaps I’m the woman who can deal with your aunt?”

“Are you that confident?” Xie Xuan smiled and looked at her from afar.

Lu Haiqiao tilted her head and nodded. “I was just joking. Your aunt is an elder.

I can’t be rude.”

As she spoke, she recalled Xu Duo’s evaluation of Xie Shengnan.

“That’s a powerful woman. She’s scheming, resourceful, and ambitious. She won’t be easy to deal with.”

Just because she wasn’t easy to deal with didn’t mean she couldn’t be dealt with.

Lu Haiqiao didn’t have many merits, but she liked to challenge difficulties.

Half an hour later, it was almost three in the afternoon. Lu Haiqiao waved goodbye to Xie Xuan.

At the door, she turned around and looked at him with reluctance. “I’ll be very busy when I get back. Have something to eat after work, alright?”

Xie Xuan brushed the hair off her forehead. “You mean I won’t be able to see you today?”

Lu Haiqiao tapped the tip of his nose with her soft fingertips as if she was coaxing a child. “That’s why I took the time to come over in the afternoon.”

As she opened the door, Lu Haiqiao said, “Alright, don’t send me off. Don’t you have a meeting? Go quickly. Don’t delay it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a force suddenly wrapped around her slender waist.

Before Lu Haiqiao could react, she was pulled back by the force and fell into a warm embrace.

Xie Xuan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and whispered into her ear, “Hug me for a while.” Lu Haiqiao was speechless.

Her boyfriend was so childish.

But she liked it very much.

After a while, Lu Haiqiao patted the back of Xie Xuan’s hand. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a thin and moist sensation at the tip of her ear.

She subconsciously froze.

Then, that moist and warm touch slowly slid down from the tip of her ear, along her cheek, to the back of her neck.

She couldn’t help but tremble slightly..
