The boss of a wealthy family is too clingy, and the beautiful secretary wants to quit

In the next few days, Xia Rui's back injury gradually recovered with careful nursing, and her mood was like a flower bathing in the spring breeze, bright and full of vitality.

Every day, she silently counted down to Saturday in her heart.

On Saturday afternoon, Xia Rui stood in the cloakroom, taking out clothes one by one and trying them on. Finally, she changed into a dark purple V-neck suspender dress, paired with a white long knitted jacket, looking gentle and lovely.

She carefully matched her accessories and put on makeup in front of the mirror, hoping that she could appear in front of Li Hao in her most beautiful state.

The agreed location was a Thai restaurant in the city center.

Li Hao had arrived early. He was wearing simple casual clothes and sitting by the window, quietly admiring the bustling street scene outside the window. When Xia Rui walked into the restaurant, Li Hao's eyes were immediately attracted by her, and a faint, warm smile appeared on his face.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Xia Rui quickly walked to the seat opposite Li Hao and sat down, with a hint of apology on her face.

"No, I just got here not long ago." Li Hao responded with a smile, and at the same time he caught a glimpse of the high heels on Xia Rui's feet. He frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Is your waist injury completely healed? Does it hurt to wear high heels?"

Xia Rui shook her head gently and said with a smile: "It's okay now."

Li Hao warned: "You still have to be careful, after all, your back injury needs to be healed slowly."

Xia Rui smiled and said, "Well, I will pay attention."

Li Hao nodded, handed the menu to Xia Rui and said, "Take a look at what you want to eat."

"Okay." Xia Rui took the menu and flipped through it gently. Her eyes scanned the menu and she was weighing the options silently in her mind.

She knew Li Hao's financial strength, so she ordered Tom Yum Goong soup, a curry prawn and a serving of green vegetables, then looked up and smiled at the waiter, "Okay, that's all."

Li Hao asked in surprise: "Is that all? Don't you want to order more? It's my treat, you're welcome."

Xia Rui shook her head and said with a smile: "No, these are enough. Besides, eating too much will make you fat."

Li Hao took the menu and said with a smile, "You are so thin, it doesn't matter if you eat more."

Then I said to the waiter, "Add a serving of curry crab and mango sticky rice."

The waiter took down their order and left.

Li Hao smiled and said, "My sister likes mango sticky rice very much. I think all girls like this."

Xia Rui nodded and responded with a smile: "You have a really good relationship with your sister. I am an only child, and I have always envied girls who have brothers who love them."

Li Hao smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of warmth, "Our family is a reconstituted family. Although they got married some time ago, I already regarded her as my own sister when I was a child." He paused and continued, "I cherish this hard-earned family relationship. My brother works in France and often sends back some delicious candies and chocolates. I will bring some to you next time."

Xia Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I like chocolate too."

The dishes were soon served, whetting their appetites. They ate and chatted about each other's families and growing up experiences.

Xia Rui discovered that Li Hao was not only handsome, but also mature, stable and responsible. This made her like him more and more. She felt more and more that she was really attracted to him.

It was different from the feeling when she liked Wei Jingshen. At that time, she was more ignorant and curious about Wei Jingshen, attracted by the charming temperament of that fresh boy. But now, her heartbeat for Li Hao was more like finding a harbor to rely on, a person who could weather the storm with her.

Just as the two were chatting excitedly, a few familiar voices suddenly came from the door of the restaurant: "Captain Li!"

Li Hao looked up and saw several colleagues in casual clothes walking in with surprised expressions on their faces. He stood up and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet Captain Li here." Zhou Dan said.

She turned to look at Xia Rui, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Who is this?"

Li Hao introduced: "Xia Rui, you have seen her." After a pause, he added: "The drunk girl you took care of a few days ago."

Then he looked at Xia Rui and said, "This is Zhou Dan. She took care of you that night when you were drunk."

Xia Rui smiled at Zhou Dan and said, "Thank you for taking care of a drunk like me."

Zhou Dan glanced at Xia Rui and smiled faintly, "It's my duty. Captain Li will occasionally bring some drunk people back to the unit. I'm used to it."

"We just got off work and decided to go out for a meal to relax. We didn't expect it to be such a coincidence," said another colleague.

Li Hao nodded, turned around and introduced Xia Rui: "These are my colleagues, we usually work together."

Xia Rui stood up with a smile and nodded to them. Li Hao's colleagues also greeted her.

Li Hao said, "Let's eat together. Our dishes have just been served. If you want a few more dishes, I'll treat you."

"Long live Captain Li!" Colleagues cheered and pulled out chairs to sit down.

Li Hao turned to Xia Rui with a gentle look in his eyes: "You don't mind, do you?"

Xia Rui tried to maintain her smile and shook her head gently, "I don't mind."

However, she couldn't help feeling a little moved, especially when Zhou Dan walked straight up to sit next to Li Hao. She became more certain of her intuition - Zhou Dan's feelings for Li Hao were not just those of an ordinary colleague.

A woman's sixth sense is always so sharp. Xia Rui could feel the subtle aura emanating from Zhou Dan, a complex emotion of both disdain and jealousy.

Li Hao ordered some more dishes from the waiter.

They were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but Xia Rui was eating absent-mindedly.

Zhou Dan looked at Xia Rui and asked, "What does Miss Xia do for a living?"

Xia Rui responded: "I'm a manager at a bar."

"Bar?" Zhou Dan couldn't believe it and looked at Xia Rui in surprise with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he felt that he was superior to others because he was a civil servant and looked down on her profession.

He continued to ask, "Miss Xia is so beautiful, there should be many other job opportunities, right? Why did you choose to work in a bar?"

Xia Rui felt that there was a sting in Zhou Dan's words and felt unhappy, but she did not lose her temper because Li Hao was present.

Li Hao frowned slightly and said, "It's all a job, and so are we."

Zhou Dan was left speechless by Li Hao's words. She didn't expect Li Hao to speak for Xia Rui. She couldn't help but feel jealous.

Xia Rui suggested with a smile: "After dinner, let's all come to my bar and have some fun. I'll treat you to a drink."

A colleague said: "How can that be so embarrassing? We can just pay for it ourselves."

Xia Rui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm the manager and I still have the authority to treat people to drinks."
