Chapter 20
Qin Xiaoxi took Xu Wenyan upstairs when he thought that all his colleagues went downstairs to eat after get off work.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw female colleagues gathered outside the door of Eternal Health Products, and everyone was looking inside obsessively.

Just as she was about to bypass her colleagues and enter the company directly, a familiar voice sounded from the crowd.

"Qin Xiaoxi."

Qin Xiaoxi paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and looked back at the person who made the voice in embarrassment.

Sure enough, as she was worried, Zhou Yanchuan looked indifferent, ignoring the admiring gazes from all around, and walked quickly from the crowd to her.

Qin Xiaoxi pretended not to understand what Zhou Yanchuan meant, and froze in embarrassment, "What a coincidence?"

Zhou Yanchuan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and said in a low voice, "The key."

Qin Xiaoxi was stunned, and it took her a long time to remember that she seemed to have forgotten to bring it when she was in a hurry to go out last night.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoxi didn't move, Zhou Yanchuan showed an impatient look on his face, frowned, and said coldly.

"Forgot to bring it?"

"Well, I was too hasty to go out at that time, so I forgot."

Qin Xiaoxi's face was like a bitter melon, frowning and apologetic.

She thought she would be reprimanded by Zhou Yanchuan, but he didn't expect him to say much. After listening to her reply, he didn't have much expression on his face and continued to ask.

"Come back for dinner tonight?"

"Go back."

"Well, then I'll leave the door open for you."

After receiving the reply, Zhou Yanchuan quickly turned around and left the scene.

After Zhou Yanchuan left, the gossiping female colleagues who were standing around all squinted their eyes and surrounded her.

Even though they were just casual acquaintances, in order to find out the inside story, they all seemed to become her friends in an instant.

"Xiaoxi, is that your new boyfriend?"

"You and Wang Zainan really broke up?"

"Then you are not at a loss. Back then, you ate steamed buns for half a year to match your old godmother in order to get married?"

"That's right, what a pity. Didn't the hotel be booked?"

Listening to the chattering voices around her, Qin Xiaoxi only felt her ears hurt and her breathing became messy.

There was an urge to gag all these people's mouths, just when she wanted to explode.

Xu Wenyan squeezed away the surrounding colleagues, put his arm around her shoulder, and responded rudely.

"It's none of your business, you have nothing to do when you're full? All of you are too busy to worry about other people's affairs. Do you eat your rice or live in your house?"

"Hey, you, it's none of your business if we talk to Xiaoxi?" Liu Pei, the provocateur in the design department, looked unhappy, pointing at Xu Wenyan and swearing.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoxi pulled Xu Wenyan behind her, stood in front of Liu Pei, and looked at her seriously.

"Some people can't recognize their own problems, and they have a preaching mouth."

Liu Pei was choked, blushing and unable to say a word, turned and left angrily.

The rest of the people who wanted to inquire about gossip also left the corridor with a disheartened expression.

Xu Wenyan pulled Qin Xiaoxi's arm unconvinced, and muttered with hatred and anger, "Is this how you usually bully you?"

"I don't care what they say, but they can't bully my people." Qin Xiaoxi knew that Xu Wenyan was worried about her situation in the company, so he put his arms around her hand and comforted her with a smile.

There was only one hour for lunch, Qin Xiaoxi was worried that Xu Wenyan would not have time to eat, so he gave her half of the meal he brought.

After the two finished eating, Xu Wenyan went back to work in the company downstairs, and Qin Xiaoxi started to finish the work newly assigned by the design director.

As soon as she sat back at her workstation, she heard Liu Pei's piercing laughter when she turned on the computer, and she deliberately glanced at her as she passed the workstation.

"Hey, some people are really lucky. They get boyfriends as soon as they break up. It's not like we can only rely on ourselves."

The rest of the people beside Liu Pei looked at Qin Xiaoxi knowingly, seeing that she didn't respond, they laughed mockingly on purpose.

"Yeah, how is your life? Then why did you get dumped? Maybe it's because you don't care about the hotel money, so you just find someone to marry."

Several people were chatting and laughing into the sound of tea, drinking coffee while looking at Qin Xiaoxi's workstation, laughing and whispering.

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, at least Qin Xiaoxi heard it all.

She took a deep breath, slapped the table, turned and walked towards the tea room.
