After the all-powerful secretary resigned, the aloof CEO fainted from tears

When I woke up, it was getting dark.

At dusk, the sunset fills the entire sky, and the blue sea is reflected in colorful colors.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Mo Ran was in a good mood.

She opened the floor-to-ceiling window and took a breath of fresh air, then went back to the room and changed into a green suspender skirt, put on beautiful makeup, and wanted to ask Rebeca and Dai Zhen to go for a walk on the beach together.

But when she went downstairs, she found that the huge villa was empty and there was no one.

There was movement in the kitchen, and she thought it was Daizhen and others. She picked up her skirt and ran over, smiling and shouting: "Daizhen, Rebeca, let's go to the beach for a walk!"

But when he got to the kitchen, he found that there was no one else there except Shen Zhixun.

The smile on his lips froze, and Mo Ran put down his skirt and regained his composure.

"It is you."

"if not?"

Shen Zhixun was preparing dinner. He wore an apron. When Mo Ran came over, he had just fried a steak and put it on the table.

It has to be said that Shen Zhixun is good at cooking. Looking at the delicious steak in front of him, Mo Ran's stomach rumbled.

She didn't eat much before getting on the plane, and she didn't feel like eating after getting on the plane, so she was very hungry now.

Hearing the sound coming from her stomach, Shen Zhixun pursed his lips and smiled.

"Eat."

He pushed the dinner plate in front of her and handed her the knife and fork on the table.

"no need."

Mo Ran felt awkward and did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he asked where the others were going, "Where are Dai Zhen and the others?"

"Going out to play." Shen Zhixun ignored her, placed the knife and fork, and turned around to fry the second steak. "Looking at how soundly you were sleeping, I couldn't bear to wake you up."

"Then why don't you go?"

Seeing that Shen Zhixun was frying steak again, Mo Ran stopped holding it and sat down to enjoy the steak.

"If I followed him and no one could see him when he woke up, I would be scared to death."

From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mo Ran eating steak, looking like he was enjoying it. The smile at the corner of the man's mouth deepened.

"—"

Knowing that Shen Zhixun had good intentions, Mo Ran didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued eating.

She found that this steak was seven-well-done. Shen Zhixun had never liked eating seven-well-done steak. He liked the steak that was more tender and medium-done.

That is to say, this steak was specially cooked for yourself?

The hand holding the knife and fork paused for a moment. She looked up. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Shen Zhixun sitting opposite her holding another serving.

Mo Ran took a special look and saw that the steak's doneness was about five points, which was Shen Zhixun's preference.

A corner of his heart felt soft inexplicably. Mo Ran saw a bottle of red wine placed beside him, so he stood up and poured it for Shen Zhixun.

He eats steak and likes to drink red wine, she knows.

"Quite sensible."

The moment she poured herself red wine, Shen Zhixun seemed to see the shadow of her past in her.

In the past, Mo Ran was very obedient, knew how to proceed and retreat.

At that time, she was unsmiling and had a straight face all day long. She would do whatever he said.

Although they were also superiors and subordinates at that time, the distance between them seemed not so far.

But now, he felt that she was deliberately keeping her distance and seemed unwilling to get closer to him again.

After a sip of red wine, the taste of the red wine was not as good as the ones he had collected. It tasted a bit bitter. Shen Zhixun just took a sip and stopped drinking.

At the dining table, the only sound left was the sound of knives and forks and chewing.

Mo Ran kept his head down from beginning to end, not intending to communicate with Shen Zhixun.

Shen Zhixun looked at her head that was about to be buried in the plate, and frowned, "Are you so afraid of me?"

"You are worrying too much. Why should I be afraid of you?"

Mo Ran raised her eyes, met his deep eyes, and said calmly: "The rules of the Shen family are not to talk at the dinner table. I just respect you."

"Damn it, the Shen family, is this the Shen family?"

Shen Zhixun couldn't help but swear, and even lost interest in his carefully prepared steak.

"Just tell me, why are you so angry?"

It was rare to see him so out of control, and Mo Ran felt a little depressed.

Why did she have to speak?Is there anything good to say between her and him?

"Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Zhixun stood up from the dining chair with a sullen face.

Seeing that she had almost eaten, he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to take a walk on the beach? Let's go."

Facing his invitation, Mo Ran sat motionless.

Funny, she was talking about walking on the beach with Dai Zhen, not that she wanted to go with him.

"I--"

"This is an order, an order from a superior to his subordinates."

Knowing that she was going to refuse, Shen Zhisun said domineeringly, "You must go. You are not allowed to refuse."

"Didn't you say that this is not a company and there is no need to call you Mr. Shen?"

Mo Ran pursed her red lips, slightly dissatisfied.

"Can I regret it now? Don't think that because you come out, you can no longer regard yourself as an employee of the Shen family."

Mo Ran's face was full of black lines, and all the good things she had to say were said by this man. What else could she say?

At the beach in the evening, the sea breeze blows.

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the skyline, a few seabirds flew over the sea, and the warm water flowed over his ankles. Mo Ran's heart was completely relaxed at this moment.

The two walked side by side on the beach without saying a word to each other.

Mo Ran rarely enjoyed such a relaxing moment, and hoped that Shen Zhixun would not disturb him.

As she walked, she couldn't help but distance herself from Shen Zhixun.

Suddenly, the man called her.

"Mo Ran!"

She stopped and looked back. Before she could even look at Shen Zhixun's face, she was already splashed with salty sea water.

"what are you doing?"

His face was covered with water, and Mo Ran's carefully painted makeup was almost gone.

"Splash water, don't all women like to play with water?"

Shen Zhixun took off his shoes at some point, rolled up his trousers, rolled up his sleeves, stood with his legs in the sea, picked up the seawater with his hands, and poured it on Mo Ran.

"Ah!" Mo Ran didn't hide away, half of his body was wet. "Who said all women like to play with water? Shen Zhixun, you idiot-"

Before I could say the word "Crazy", the other half was also wet.

She stood there angrily, with her hands on her hips, looking at Shen Zhisun who was laughing wildly in the sea, ready to curse.

But at this moment, Mo Ran felt a little dazed.

The man's handsome face looked inexplicably gentle under the reflection of the setting sun.

He smiled happily, showing eight white teeth.

The sea breeze blew through the broken hair on his forehead. At this moment, Shen Zhixun looked warm and beautiful, something Mo Ran had never seen before.

"Shen Zhixun, you like playing in water, right?"

Mo Ran lost his temper immediately, and when Shen Zhixun wasn't paying attention, he picked up the sea water and threw it towards Shen Zhixun.

"You're playing sneak attack!"

"You were the one who attacked me first!"

"Okay! I'll let you know how good I am!"

The two were happily playing in the water on the beach, like two children who had not grown up.
