Chapter 9. Banquet
Early in the morning, Yi Ruo picked up her coffee and walked towards Shen Xi's office. She was not wearing a shirt today, which was rare. She only wore oversized clothes and a JK skirt. She looked youthful.
Yi Ruo bent down and placed the coffee on Shen Xi's desk. Seeing that Shen Xi didn't notice her, she called softly, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Xi glanced to the side and saw two round and white breasts tightly wrapped in a bra, with a deep cleavage. He quickly moved his gaze back and smelled the faint fragrance around him. He reached out to take the coffee on the table and took a sip.
"This weekend is the company's annual meeting, you can come with me then." Shen Xi looked at the computer and said lightly.
"Okay," Yi Ruo responded gently beside him.
Walking out of the office, Secretary Chen came over with a smile and said,
"Xiao¹ Ruo, the company is about to have annual holiday, what are your plans?"
"Annual holiday?" Yi Ruo looked at the smiling secretary and asked puzzledly.
"Yes, this is also the company's most exciting paid annual leave. In addition to the fixed annual leave quota, we are also given an extra two weeks of regular annual leave. Then the whole company will have a holiday!" Secretary Chen smiled happily with his eyes slightly narrowed, and it seemed that he had already started thinking about holiday plans.
Yi Ruo was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know yet, I just found out."
"Our group may go to the Bund for a few days. If you have nothing to do, join us."
Yi Ruo thought for a while. "Will Mr. Shen go too?"
"Mr. Shen usually doesn't go. He should be going to England to find his wife this year. Hey, let me tell you, our manager's wife was very famous back then..."
Yi Ruo listened to Secretary Chen's description of Mrs. Shen, lowered his head calmly, and thought to himself that something was wrong.
She didn't have much time left, and it would be too late after the New Year holiday. If she couldn't pay back the remaining one million, thinking of that group of vicious and bullying people and the faces of her relatives, Yi Ruo sighed.
She could feel that Shen Xi had some feelings for her, but they were limited by their respective identities. And from the fact that he was able to stop in time at that moment last time, she knew that he had extraordinary perseverance. Without an external force to break through, it would be difficult for their relationship to go any further.
In the past few days, she had deliberately had some physical contact with Shen Xi from time to time. For example, when she was taking a document, her hand inevitably touched him. When the two of them were standing in the elevator, their hands rubbed against each other slightly. She could feel that the atmosphere between them was a little ambiguous, but he was unwilling to go any further and always maintained a delicate balance.

-Weekend evening-
Shen Xi looked at Yi Ruo who was waiting at the door alone. She was wearing a white dress, with her long curly hair draped over her shoulders. There were only two pearl chains hanging on her right shoulder. Her fair skin looked even more translucent against the backdrop of the pearls, as if it were solidified fat, and her lips were painted red. She looked pure and seductive, with a gentle and graceful manner.
"Xiao Ruo!" Secretary Chen opened the passenger window and called to Yi Ruo.
Yi Ruo trotted to open the rear driver's door and saw Shen Xi sitting in the back seat, with Secretary Shen and the driver in front. Yi Ruo lowered her head and got into the car.
"This is the first time I see Xiao Ruo not wearing a business suit. If you dress like this every day, the male colleagues in our company would be tempted to fall in love with you." Secretary Chen said with a smile.
Yi Ruo blushed and smiled, "Secretary Chen, stop joking."
Shen Xi looked at Yi Ruo who was feeling shy, his eyes softened, and he said, "Let's go."
The car slowly drove towards the direction of the company party.

At the party, Yi Ruo followed Shen Xi's steps and shuttled among the crowd. Secretary Chen and the driver had already separated. After all, it was a company party, and everyone wanted to find some familiar people to chat with. Who would want to follow the leader?
Shen Xi watched Yi Ruo follow closely in her steps, and realized that she didn't know the others, so he lowered his head and said softly and gently, "Why don't you sit on the sofa for a while? I'm going to have a drink with other leaders later, and you'll inevitably be forced to drink."
Yi Ruo looked at Shen Xi, shook her head, and gently grabbed the corner of Shen Xi's clothes and pulled it.
It was the first time that Shen Xi saw Yi Ruo being so dependent on him, and he couldn't help feeling a little sentimental. He gently grasped her hand and said, "Then drink less later. If you can't hold on, tell me, okay?"
Yi Ruo looked at Shen Xi, whose face was gentle, smiled with curved eyebrows and nodded, then followed to the left side of Shen Xi.
Secretary Chen was startled when he saw Shen Xi secretly holding Yi Ruo's hand from a distance. He quickly looked away and took a sip of wine. He thought to himself that Shen Xi always kept a distance from any female colleagues, even their male colleagues, so how could he suddenly let an airborne girl take over the shift at the General Secretariat? Secretary Chen narrowed his eyes, paused, pretended nothing happened, turned around and smiled and continued to talk with other colleagues.
