"Huh?"

Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard Jiang Miaoke's words. He had initially intended to just give her the brush-off and be done with it, but who could have imagined that Jiang Miaoke would be right inside the Dongning Building at this very moment, and it appeared that she had even attended Blue Star Technology's relocation ceremony. Ye Xiao's lie was ruthlessly exposed.

Embarrassment, utter embarrassment to the extreme.

Even with skin thicker than city walls, Ye Xiao felt his face flush at this moment, but luckily, he wasn't being exposed face to face.

Ye Xiao hastened to explain, "Coco, the thing is, I've been around the Dongning Building the whole time. You know I'm Mr. Xia's driver, but being a driver is not just about driving, you see. So, I believe ensuring Mr. Xia's safety is paramount. That's why I'm currently nearby, covertly protecting Mr. Xia's safety."

"Are you still lying to me?" Jiang Miaoke immediately retorted angrily, "I was foolish enough to buy clothes for you, and when Sister Mingyue said you had taken a leave of absence, I thought you must have something important to do, so I didn't bother you. I called you now only because it's nearly lunchtime, but it turns out you were deceiving me."

Listening to Jiang Miaoke's words, Ye Xiao suddenly felt like a bit of a scoundrel and grimaced, silently reflecting on how displeased Jiang Miaoke must be right now.

However, this was certainly not the time for Ye Xiao to admit he was wrong, for doing so would mean admitting his actual mistake. So, he said, "Coco, what I just told you is true, I really am standing across from the Dongning Building right now. If you don't believe me, you can check. I really didn't lie to you. It's true I did tell a white lie before, but that was because I take my job seriously, sorry. If you think I truly am a terrible person, you can scold me, I'll take it."

By the end of his speech, Ye Xiao's voice was low, as if he were quite dejected.

Jiang Miaoke had been preparing to give Ye Xiao a good tongue-lashing, but after hearing what he said, she fell silent because she didn't know whether his current words were true or false. Strangely enough, she found herself hoping they were true, and she couldn't quite explain why.

"Are you really not deceiving me again?" Jiang Miaoke asked softly.

Ye Xiao chuckled and replied, "Why would I lie to you? We're just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, not for real."

When Jiang Miaoke heard Ye Xiao's response, she bit her lip and then said, "I'm in Sister Mingyue's office; you can come over now."

"Oh, okay, by the way, which floor is Blue Star Technology on?" Ye Xiao asked.

Ye Xiao genuinely didn't know which floor Blue Star Technology was on, as he had never even been inside the Dongning Building.

"Are you done? As an employee of Blue Star Technology, you don't even know which floor it's on. Hurry up here, the twelfth floor!" Jiang Miaoke said with clear annoyance in her tone.

Ye Xiao chuckled, "I'll be right there; I still have to try on the clothes you bought for me."

"Hmph!"

Ye Xiao hung up the phone, or more precisely, Jiang Miaoke hung up on him.

Ye Xiao immediately made his way toward the Dongning Building.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the Dongning Building, he was stopped by the security guard at the door. The security at Dongning Building was different from other places; they didn't wear a security uniform but rather a special security outfit, just without epaulettes.

"Who are you here to see?"

Ye Xiao looked at the speaking guard and replied with a smile, "I'm the driver for the general manager of Blue Star Technology, Ye Xiao."

Hearing that it was someone from Blue Star Technology, the guard promptly looked him up and down and said, "Wait a moment, let me call Blue Star Technology's logistics to check."

"Ye Xiao!" Just then, a person came out of the Dongning Building, a woman, to be precise—a very beautiful woman.

Ye Xiao was always particularly sensitive to the sound of a woman's voice and immediately looked up, and with a sudden smile, he said, "I can't believe you're speaking to me voluntarily; that's rare."

The woman's expression was far from pleasant—cold, to be exact—as she looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I'm not a rude person."

"Heh, maybe not," Ye Xiao said, looking at the woman in front of him. She was none other than Li Sitong, whom he had encountered first on a plane, then in Minghai City, and a third time in a bar, the woman whom Ye Xiao had saved twice. Yet, what Ye Xiao didn't expect was to see Li Sitong here, let alone that she would initiate a conversation with him, and moreover, clad in professional attire, which clearly suggested she worked here.

"What do you mean 'maybe not'? Don't start trouble. What are you doing here?" Li Sitong asked, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "I'm a driver for Blue Star Technology. Since Blue Star Technology has just moved to Dongning Building, I came here."

"So, you work at Blue Star Technology? What bad luck to be working in the same building as you," Li Sitong said with undisguised displeasure.

Hearing Li Sitong's words, Ye Xiao suddenly wore a speechless expression. Had he somehow wronged her? He had saved her twice, after all.

Li Sitong was not the kind of woman to pester insistently, only, because of her initial dislike for Ye Xiao, no matter what he did, she felt that Ye Xiao was not a good person. However, several days ago, Li Sitong thought for sure that Ye Xiao would take advantage of her, but unexpectedly, she was still "untouched jade," clearly indicating that Ye Xiao had not done anything to her. Therefore, her impression of Ye Xiao had changed. At that time, her thought was that she didn't want to see Ye Xiao again, but unexpectedly, she ran into him here today. She had no idea how she somehow started talking to Ye Xiao first.

Ye Xiao smiled proudly and said to Li Sitong, "Doesn't this just prove that we're fated to meet?"

Li Sitong gave Ye Xiao a disdainful look and headed straight for the exit of Dongning Building.

At that moment, the security guard who had called Blue Star Technology spoke to Ye Xiao, "It has been confirmed; you may go in now."

Ye Xiao nodded and then walked straight into Dongning Building.

It was indeed fate to run into Li Sitong here, Ye Xiao thought. However, would Li Sitong tell Ling Shuya that she saw him here? On second thought, he decided he didn't care. It was just better to hope for peace when living under the same roof.

Since Ye Xiao had already learned from Jiang Miaoke that Blue Star Technology was on the twelfth floor, he made his way there with ease.

It didn't take long for Ye Xiao to arrive on the twelfth floor. Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a sign marked 'Blue Star Technology.'

It was a coincidence that just as he walked out, he saw Fang Jing passing by the elevator entrance with an empty cup in hand. Fang Jing naturally saw him as he came out of the elevator.

"You still know how to come back," Fang Jing said to Ye Xiao with a tinge of sarcasm.

Ye Xiao immediately replied with a wry smile, "Where else would I go? I am an employee of Blue Star Technology, after all."

Fang Jing glanced around, saw that there was nobody else, walked toward the elevator, looked at Ye Xiao, and asked, "Are you really Jiang Miaoke's boyfriend?"

Upon hearing Fang Jing's question, Ye Xiao immediately responded cheerfully, "That was just to fool the Jiang Family. You took it seriously?"

"Oh, so that's how it is," said Fang Jing, her face inexplicably brightening with joy. Then she said to Ye Xiao, "Jiang Miaoke has bought you a piece of clothing. It looks really good; go try it on in Ming Yue's office."

"Sure, where is Mr. Xia's office?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

Fang Jing said, "I'll take you there."

Soon after, Ye Xiao followed Fang Jing to Xia Mingyue's office. Of course, it was only Ye Xiao who went in, while Fang Jing walked away with her cup.

"Ye Xiao, why did you enter without knocking?" Xia Mingyue immediately frowned and looked at Ye Xiao when he walked into the general manager's office.

That's when Ye Xiao realized he forgot to knock and immediately turned to leave.

Jiang Miaoke, who was in the room, immediately asked, "Ye Xiao, where are you going?"

"To knock again!" Ye Xiao told Jiang Miaoke.

"Stop joking around and come see if this suit fits," Jiang Miaoke told Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao walked over to where Jiang Miaoke was sitting, all smiles. Next to Jiang Miaoke sat a paper bag containing clothing, with the Armani logo on it.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but be inwardly amazed. Could this girl shop for something inexpensive for once? If she really had too much money to spend, she could totally share some with me, right?

Jiang Miaoke took out a wool cashmere coat from the Armani paper bag—a mocha color.

Ye Xiao picked it up and looked at it, saying, "This is for me to wear? I have to work every day; when would I wear it?"

"What do you mean, when can't you wear it? There are no rules against wearing it to work, are there? Also, don't get too full of yourself, will you? You're just my cousin's driver," Jiang Miaoke said pointedly.

Ye Xiao immediately fell silent, then took off his formal wear and put on the mocha-colored wool cashmere coat. Despite calling it a coat, it was not long, reaching about up to Ye Xiao's hips.

Ye Xiao was already on the thinner side, and this wool cashmere coat was the Korean-style slim fit. Therefore, at that moment, it fit him just right.

Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao, who had changed into the new outfit, and was somewhat stunned, before flashing a proud smile.

Seeing Jiang Miaoke suddenly smile, Ye Xiao looked at her quizzically and asked, "What's the matter? Doesn't it fit?"

"Of course, it fits. Who do you think picked this out? Sister Mingyue, how do you like my selection? Even the size is perfect," Jiang Miaoke boasted to Xia Mingyue.
