Chapter 6 – Her essence is still being a face control
On the first day of work, Ruan Xia was woken up by the alarm.
Looking at her rosy complexion in the restroom, Ruan Xia was very satisfied with herself.
Knowing that she had to go to work, Ruan Xia didn’t stay up late last night. It was not because she had strong self-control and could resist staying up late if she decided not to. Instead, she adjusted her daily routine well after giving it some thought. She realized that if she showed up with dark circles under her eyes to work as Fu Cheng’an’s secretary, she would not make a good impression. So she turned off her phone.
Sure enough, her staying up late is directly related to her love for browsing the internet.
On her first day of work, Ruan Xia wore the blouse and fishtail skirt that Fu Cheng’an had selected for her yesterday. Her long black hair was curled into big waves.
This outfit made Ruan Xia look very professional as a career woman, but her personal style was still very strong. She looked innocent and stubborn like a little white flower.
Sometimes Ruan Xia was curious about how she could have such a deceptive appearance with her personality. Maybe she looked like her mother when she was young?
When Ruan Xia’s parents were young, they were both very good-looking, so much so that they both had a lot of secret admirers and romantic history.
But later, after facing the pressures of married life and the everyday stressors of work and family, their love gradually changed.
After applying almond milk tea-colored lipstick, Ruan Xia left the bathroom and headed to work.
Love is something that Ruan Xia is not interested in.
When Aunt Sun saw Ruan Xia, she was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, “You look really beautifu;.”
Ruan Xia turned around and asked, “Aunt Sun, do I really look beautiful?”
Aunt Sun replied, “Yes, you look really beautiful. Send me the shade of your lipstick, and I’ll see if I can charm everyone when I go dancing in the square.”
Indeed, Ruan Xia is really good-looking. The first time Aunt Sun saw her, she thought that this girl was good-looking, and it’s the kind of good-looking that even women her age find pleasant to look at. In other words, she is very eye-catching. This kind of appearance, when others see it, will feel very favorable and unconsciously have a good impression.
It’s like, if Aunt Sun didn’t know Ruan Xia, at first sight of her, she would think that Ruan Xia must be a girl with a good personality and very kind.
Ruan Xia smiled, “I’ll send it to you, I’ll buy it online, and it’ll arrive in a few days.”
Aunt Sun nodded, “Thank you, Miss Ruan.” After speaking, she didn’t forget to say, “At work, don’t let others bully you.”
Aunt Sun : “……”
This statement, who could bully Ruan Xia in Mr. Fu’s company? She should worry if Ruan Xia would do something strange in the company, such as pitifully calling Mr. Fu as Hubby.
Ruan Xia, who had originally planned to work diligently, hesitated. She also thought that her style today was particularly good-looking, and she had done light pink manicure. It would be a shame not to try to win over Fu Cheng’an with such a good look.
Assistant Chen’s inner thoughts were very complex, but fortunately, he didn’t show it in front of Ruan Xia.
Fu Cheng’an has always been very serious about work. Ruan Xia was the first person to enter the company through Fu Cheng’an’s connections. Of course, Ruan Xia’s internship as a secretary didn’t count as a real employment, it was just to experience what it was like to be a secretary.
Fu Cheng’an has many secretaries, but there are not many who stay by his side. The most capable one is Assistant Chen, and other secretaries are also under Assistant Chen’s management.
Assistant Chen had already prepared Ruan Xia’s introduction by saying that she was the younger sister of Fu Cheng’an’s friend who was still in college and had come to experience life. He asked everyone to take care of her.
Ruan Xia’s work station was also arranged, with a temporary position set up outside Fu Cheng’an’s office.
Assistant Chen : “Miss Ruan, please don’t reveal your relationship with Mr. Fu at the company for now. Mr. Fu doesn’t want work and life to mix, so when you see Mr. Fu at the company…”
Ruan Xia was already pleasantly surprised that her workstation was right outside Fu Cheng’an’s office. Wouldn’t Fu Cheng’an be able to see her every time he enters or exits his office?
Ruan Xia was in a good mood. “Assistant Chen, I won’t cause any trouble for Hubby, I mean, Mr. Fu.”
Assistant Chen: “Miss Ruan, if there is anything, just give me a call and I’ll handle it.”
Before Ruan Xia could ask when Fu Cheng’an would be back and about his schedule, Assistant Chen promptly made his exit.
Who would have thought that not long ago, Assistant Chen had mocked one of his colleagues, who was also in the same profession, for running around for the boss’s love life. Those who knew it was about the boss’s love life thought it was their own love life problem.
Being an assistant these days is not an easy job.
Assistant Chen had tidied up the work station outside of Fu Cheng’an’s office for Ruan Xia, and there were hardly any work-related documents on it, only some nice notebooks, folders, and pens. In addition to these, there were even several comic books.
It was like a stationery store for students who don’t study well.
Ruan Xia was envious. If only Assistant Chen were her assistant.
Assistant Chen turned back and gave a glance at Ruan Xia, then ran even faster.
Work can be very boring, but it can also become much more interesting when used to slack off and observe others. It can be said that during work, as long as you’re not actually working, everything else is a lot of fun.
Ruan Xia didn’t dare stare at her colleagues too blatantly, she could only observe them occasionally. Staring at someone for too long would surely get her noticed.
At first it was fine, but by the afternoon, Ruan Xia was feeling very sleepy.
Looking at her other colleagues, Ruan Xia couldn’t help but feel admiration. They all had a professional look, sitting with a straight posture. Even Ruan Xia, a slacker among them, would subconsciously sit up straight.
Ruan Xia had a good figure, but she could be a bit lazy at times.
Fu Cheng’an’s office was on the top floor of the office building, just like in countless novels. This floor was exclusive to the CEOs of big companies, and even the no-CP male lead needed to have this kind of status.
When Ruan Xia was young, she used to read novels and thought that male leads needing an exclusive elevator was just a cool thing to say. But in reality, she later found out that waiting for elevators was actually quite difficult and necessary.
The sound of the elevator door opening echoed, and Ruan Xia, who was slacking off with her phone, quickly checked her appearance and smoothed down her stray hair behind her ear, sitting up straighter than the other secretaries.
Assistant Chen hurried over and rushed past Ruan Xia like a gust of wind, entered Fu Cheng’an’s office, then left again with a folder in hand.
Finally, he noticed Ruan Xia, and after nodding slightly to Ruan Xia, he continued to walk forward with a serious face.
Ruan Xia : “Is Mr. Fu very busy today?”
Feng Jun : “Yes, Mr. Fu is busier than usual today, his schedule is particularly full.”
Ruan Xia : “Will Mr. Fu come back to the company today?”
Feng Jun was wiping her black-framed glasses. “There’s a meeting at the company tonight, and I’ll have to work overtime. I really want to get off work early.”
Ruan Xia wanted to stay and work overtime, but she knew better than to disturb Fu Cheng’an’s work. She smiled and didn’t say anything, continuing to sit at her desk.
Well, if she had to work overtime, so be it. She could always wear this outfit again tomorrow and show it off in front of Fu Cheng’an.
Since she knew Fu Cheng’an wouldn’t be coming back during her working hours, after reading some manga and feeling a little tired, she fell asleep on her desk.
The magical nap pillow, small cup, and soft furry cushion added a bit of comfort to her.
Around 6 p.m., everyone started leaving work one after another. When Feng Jun was about to go and tidy up the conference room, she saw that Ruan Xia was still sleeping and had no idea when she had fallen asleep.
Feng Jun had been told by Assistant Chen to look after Ruan Xia and follow her instructions as long as there were no problems. If there were any issues, she should contact Assistant Chen.
Feng Jun didn’t know if Ruan Xia would wake up in a bad mood, especially someone who seemed like a little princess that even Assistant Chen had to coddle. Feng Jun didn’t want to offend her or make her angry by waking her up.
After hesitating for a while, Feng Jun left a note for Ruan Xia and went downstairs with the files.
He thought he would come back to check on Ruan Xia after he finished work.
After the meeting ended, Fu Cheng’an came out of the conference room, with Assistant Chen following him and reporting on work.
As they approached the office, Fu Cheng’an remembered that Ruan Xia was supposed to come to work today
He didn’t ask about it since he knew that Assistant Chen would handle it well.
When they arrived outside the office, Fu Cheng’an saw Ruan Xia sleeping there.
Due to the heat, her cheeks were flushed, and there were too many things on the desk, which hindered her sleep. In addition, a folder was knocked down to the ground by her arm.
Fu Cheng’an glanced at his wristwatch and saw that it was already around 9:30.
Assistant Chen : “Mr. Fu, I arranged for someone to take care of Miss Ruan. She’s still here at this time, probably waiting for you and fell asleep. In the afternoon, she asked about your schedule and knew that you had a meeting in the company tonight.”
Ruan Xia’s eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
What kind of experience is it to wake up and see a cool and restrained handsome guy?
That’s what Ruan Xia is feeling right now, without any morning grogginess, and able to appreciate for a few seconds.
As expected, her essence is still being a face control.
Ruan Xia : “Hubby~”
Fu Cheng’an has heard this “Hubby” address from Ruan Xia many times, which should be something he has gotten used to and at least shouldn’t feel any waves in his heart, but every time Ruan Xia calls him that, it brings out a different feeling.
Just like now, the word “Hubby” is still lingering in the air with a certain intonation.
Ruan Xia stood up and walked towards Fu Cheng’an, but her high heels caused her to lose balance, and she ended up falling towards Fu Cheng’an.
Quick to react, Fu Cheng’an reached out with his strong and powerful arms and grabbed her arm, preventing Ruan Xia from falling down, almost like the first time they met.
As their eyes met, Ruan Xia looked at him eagerly, with a slightly awkward expression.
Teacher Li had said that in a romantic scene, the eye contact had to be spot on, so what kind of eyes should she have now?
Ruan Xia was trying to figure it out.
With a sudden thought, Fu Cheng’an called out her name. “Ruan Xia, have you remembered something?”
Hearing Fu Cheng’an’s voice up close, magnetic and deep, Ruan Xia couldn’t help but think how good it sounded.
Ruan Xia : “I can’t call you ‘Hubby’, I should call you ‘Mr. Fu’ instead, right?” She leaned closer. “And we can’t let anyone know about our relationship. You don’t like office romance, right?”
She continued, “But now it’s just us and Assistant Chen.”
An office romance? Why hadn’t she thought of that before? How exciting!
I like how he isnt typical cold CEO. he is not cold, just indifferent
