Li Hao turned around and saw Xia Rui's beautiful face. He was slightly stunned, then greeted politely: "Hello, Miss Xia."

Xia Rui raised her lips in a charming arc and smiled: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to meet you when I came to buy a cake, so I...accidentally listened to your conversation for a while."

Li Hao chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter."

Xia Rui had already sat where the girl had sat. She took out a tissue, moved the unfinished coffee and cake aside, then looked at Li Hao and asked, "Do you mind if I sit down?"

Li Hao shrugged and thought, you've already sat down, I can't say 'no', so he smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind."

Then he said, "What would you like to drink? I'll treat you."

Xia Rui blinked and said, "Then I won't be polite." She called the waiter and ordered, "Please clean up the table and give me a cup of Blue Mountain coffee."

Li Hao added: "Order a piece of cake. My sister said the desserts here are delicious."

Xia Rui nodded in agreement and ordered one of the store’s signature cakes.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile, "I didn't expect to meet Captain Li again so soon, and on Valentine's Day."

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't consider that today is Valentine's Day. Am I disturbing your date? The coffee and cake can be taken away."

Xia Rui smiled and said, "I remember the scene when I was drunk that night. I clearly said that I was heartbroken. Captain Li, are you teasing me?"

Li Hao quickly waved his hands and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn't mean that. You were quite drunk that night, and I didn't take what you said to heart. Are you feeling better now?"

Xia Rui couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Hao's nervous expression. She waved her hand and said, "I should have let it go a long time ago. My mind has become much clearer after getting drunk."

There was a sense of ease and relief in his words.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "That's good. In fact, sometimes letting go is also a kind of relief."

Xia Rui said: "Yes, I feel relaxed now. Are you taking a day off today?"

Li Hao shook his head, "I have to go back to work tonight."

In this way, the two chatted from the afternoon until the sun slowly set and the golden afterglow spread across the earth.

Li Hao stood up and walked to the cashier to pay.

Xia Rui sat in her original position, looking at his back with a smile.

When she saw Li Hao coming back, she stood up, smiled slightly and said, "Next time you come to Eclipse Bar, I'll buy you a drink."

Li Hao shook his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and responded: "I don't drink much normally, and I'm not used to that kind of occasion."

Xia Rui explained with a smile: "Actually, Eclipse Bar is a quiet bar. The environment is very quiet. There are also private rooms. You can rest assured."

Li Hao joked: "The cost of living there is quite high, which is not suitable for my status."

Xia Rui said: "I am..."

She paused and continued, "Bar manager, you still have the power to treat people to free drinks."

Li Hao said: "Thank you, Manager Xia."

Suddenly, a child holding a basket of bright roses stood in front of Li Hao.

The child blinked his bright eyes and said crisply, "Brother, buy a flower for my beautiful sister."

Li Hao squatted down, looked at the child tenderly, and said, "Little friend, we are not a couple."

The child seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and said with blinking eyes: "That's okay, brother can give it to beautiful sister, she will definitely be very happy."

Li Hao was amused by the child's innocence and persistence. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll buy one."

The child happily showed the QR code card on his chest and waved it towards Li Hao, "Brother, ten yuan a flower."

Li Hao scanned the QR code with a smile, paid the money, and then took the bright rose from the child.

He raised his head and turned his gaze towards Xia Rui, and found that she was looking at him with a smile. He handed the flower to Xia Rui and said with a smile: "Miss Xia, this flower is for you, happy Valentine's Day."

Xia Rui took the flower, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face, and she said softly: "Thank you, this is the most beautiful flower I have ever received."

Li Hao smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll take you to the bus. Subway or taxi?"

Xia Rui shook her head gently and declined, "Don't bother, you still have things to do, I'm fine."

Seeing this, Li Hao no longer insisted. He nodded and reminded: "Okay, then be careful on the road."

Then he turned and walked into the subway station, and his figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Xia Rui watched Li Hao leave, then she turned back to the entrance of the coffee shop, opened the car door, and got into her Porsche 718.

I gently placed the rose on the passenger seat, started the car, and slowly drove away from the coffee shop.

She tilted her head slightly, took a look at the rose that was still gorgeous in the night, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

After returning home, Xia Rui asked the servant to fetch an exquisite crystal vase, carefully inserted the rose into the vase, and gently adjusted the position of the flower, for fear of hurting it in the slightest.

Finally, Xia Rui decided to put the vase on the bedside table in the bedroom. She lay on the bed, propped up her cheek, and looked at the rose quietly, her mood fluctuating slightly.

"Did you hear me?" An Ran turned her head and glanced at Jiang Huainian.

Jiang Huaian sat at the dining table, the fork in his hand stopped for a moment, he looked up at An Ran, sighed slightly and said: "I heard, we will work separately during this period."

An Ran nodded with satisfaction, a smile on her face, and gently stroked Jiang Huainian's head, comforting him: "Although I am your personal secretary, after all, we have just arrived in a new environment. I don't want some rumors to spread as soon as I arrive at the company. It's not good for you or me."

Jiang Huainian said, "I understand. The Jiang Group is much more complicated than Future Technology. The various factions are intricate and you have to protect yourself."

An Ran smiled and responded: "Is it a palace drama? I will try my best to not be offline and make it to the end."

Jiang Huaian was stunned for a moment, then smiled lovingly and said, "Silly."

An Ran restrained her smile and said seriously, "Don't worry, this is not my first day in the workplace, and I'm not stupid. Besides, don't you still have me?"

Jiang Huai held her hand gently, smiled and nodded.

After breakfast, the two went downstairs together. The elevator arrived at the garage. Jiang Huaian kissed An Ran on the forehead and said, "Come on, drive safely."

An Ran gave him a firm look in return.

Jiang Huaian got into the car driven by driver Yang.

An Ran stood aside and watched them leave, then leaned over and sat in the driver's seat of the Porsche, took a deep breath, Jiang's Group, here I come.

Start the car.
