Bai Tao was mindlessly scrolling through her phone. She had always done this at work, often saying she was "looking for inspiration" when asked by Qiu You'er. Now, she was even less concerned about anyone seeing her—after all, she was Luo He's woman. Who would dare talk behind her back?
What Bai Tao didn't realize was that her thinking was actually quite modest. Nowadays, everyone thought she was the big boss behind Enchant Beauty.
As she was scrolling through TikTok, a new WeChat message popped up from Luo He.
Luo He: "Did you finish reading it?"
Bai Tao: "I finished."
Luo He: "So, aren't you going to say something to me?"
Bai Tao: "Say what?"
Luo He: "Aren't you going to apologize to me?"
Bai Tao: "Luo, you're overthinking it."
Luo He: "?????"
Luo He: "You misunderstood me and falsely accused me!"
Luo He: "Shouldn't you apologize?"
Seeing the three consecutive messages from Luo He, Bai Tao realized he was truly a little agitated. But…
Bai Tao: "Luo, you're really something!"
Luo He: "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Tao: "You didn't ask for breakfast directly, but you subtly controlled my mom! You said the breakfast was delicious and that it was the best you'd ever had. Isn't that just manipulating her? With your wealth, what kind of gourmet meals haven't you had? What's so special about a simple home-cooked breakfast? You said that to make her happy, so she would keep making it for you. Did you think I wouldn't notice?"
At this moment, Luo He was stomping his feet in frustration in his office. How could Bai Tao think of him this way? How could she believe he was that calculating? Complimenting the breakfast was purely out of courtesy, and besides, the breakfast was better than anything his housekeeper made. Though Luo He couldn't quite explain the psychological benefit that came from the warmth of family and elder care, he truly thought the breakfast was delicious.
Luo He wanted to curse, but he kept reminding himself that patience was key. Moreover, Bai Tao seemed to be doing this on purpose. Ever since she came to take the breakfast this morning, she had scolded him multiple times. Hmph, these little tricks, he could see right through them.
With that thought, Luo He couldn't help but smile, sending another message: "Bai Tao, you don't understand me."
Bai Tao stared at the message for a long time, unsure of how to reply. What did he mean by "you don't understand me"? Of course, she didn't understand him—why should she?
Luo He: "Tell me, do you think your mom likes me because of the photos I sent?"
Bai Tao stayed silent.
Luo He: "Is it because I'm so handsome that your mom has fallen for me?"
Bai Tao could no longer tolerate Luo He's narcissism.
"Heh!"
Luo He: "What are you laughing at? Don't you think I'm handsome? Haven't you noticed how fresh and clean I look, full of youthful energy? (shy)"
Bai Tao felt her blood pressure skyrocket. This was absurd. Luo He certainly deserved compliments, but what was with this shy expression? He was doing it again—flirting with her on purpose!
Bai Tao took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil: "Luo, I need to work. I have to focus on my tasks."
Luo He: "You don't need to work, just chat with me. Don't worry, no boss would dare say anything to you."
Bai Tao: "......"
Indeed, which boss would dare challenge her now? Supervisor Qiu You'er was already her subordinate, and after that meeting with the manager and the deputy general manager, they hadn't shown their faces. Bai Tao guessed they were probably still trying to figure out how to handle their relationship with her.
Luo He: "Why aren't you talking? Do you think I'm that annoying? (pitiful)"
Bai Tao: "Luo, please spare me! Even if no one's watching, I still have to work hard!"
Luo He: "Why work hard? For money? For a mansion? A luxury car? As long as you chat with me, those things aren't a problem. You don't need to work so hard."
Bai Tao: "I'm not working hard for money!"
Luo He: "Then what are you working for?"
Bai Tao: "To realize my life's value! Since I was young, I've been determined to be someone who contributes to the country and society!"
Luo He: "Wow! Really? That's amazing!"
"You're so outstanding! In this era, so many people only focus on money, but you're like a breath of fresh air."
"There aren't many young people with such a mindset. I never expected to meet one."
"Bai Tao, I'm moved. No, I'm even more moved now."
"Before, I just thought you were beautiful and sunny, but today I realized you're not only full of positive energy, you're also really funny."
"When you suggested donating, I saw your kindness. Now, I'm even more certain."
"I... I've fallen for you (shy)."
"Can you give me a chance? (pitiful)"
Bai Tao was stunned by this straightforward confession, her scalp tingling.
"Aren't you afraid I'll expose this chat?"
Luo He: "What's there to be afraid of? I dare to love and confess, so I'm not afraid of anyone knowing."
Bai Tao: "...... If you keep this up, I'll block you."
