"Boss? What's wrong with you? Boss?"

Hei Huomian quickly came to his senses because of Bai Shuiru's warm and caring greetings. He shook his head and responded:

"No, it's okay."

Maybe my brain cells were just too excited, so I couldn't fall asleep.

"Sleep, sleep."

There was a hint of dejection in the man's voice, and he lay down again while adjusting his breathing.

Unexpectedly, only ten minutes later, Hei Huomian suddenly sat up again, pulled off his blindfold, and covered his face with his hands.

Almost five minutes passed before he called out softly, "Bai Shuiru."

"boss?"

Bai Shuiru, a dedicated worker, quickly dropped the tool beads in her hand, took off her headphones, stood up and walked quickly to the man.

"Boss, do you want some water or to adjust the air conditioning temperature?"

The man opened his mouth slightly, inserted his slender fingers into his thick medium-length hair, and let out a long sigh.

"You can go home now."

"Getting off work?" Bai Shuiru looked at his watch.

But I only get to work for 40 minutes.

Hei Huomian waved his hands, kneaded his brows, and responded slowly:

"I'll give you a day off. You can go back to work at 6pm."

"Really? I can take the day off?"

The worker repeated the unexpected holiday in disbelief. Seeing that his boss looked tired but not joking, various plans flashed through his mind and he stretched out his hand to test him with a beaming face:

"Boss, can I go out now?"

"Sure. I'll send a car to take you wherever you want to go."

"No, no, I can drive myself."

After getting confirmation, Bai Shuiru turned around and started packing up his tools and accessories.

"You can choose any car in the garage. Just ask Uncle Nan for the key."

After Hei Huomian finished speaking, he spread his arms and fell asleep dejectedly, kicking the quilt away in angrily.

What happened to the boss?

We dare not say and we dare not ask.

After thanking him, Bai Shuiru glanced at Hei Huomian again, who was carrying his toolbox, tiptoed through the door and left, and immediately contacted Hao Mianmian:

"My boss gave me a day off, let's go out and eat and treat ourselves! (^-^)V"

Bai Shuiru returned to the room and just opened the closet when she received the reply from the other party:

"I have to rush a batch of goods today, so I won't go."

"I reasonably suspect that you have a strange man and are busy dating instead of catching up on the goods.╭(╯^╰)╮"

Bai Shuiru didn't wait for her best friend's reply. She continued to choose clothes while humming Zheng Xiaoyuna's song, but her eyes subconsciously fell on a wooden box placed above the storage box.

She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, slapped her head, and nodded in agreement: It would be better to do it today than to wait for another day.

She clicked on Min Ying's private message and typed:

"Hello! Brother Min Ying, I will pass by your team later. Do you have time to come out for a while?"

When Bai Shuiru changed into a white dress and casually tied her long hair into a bun in front of the dressing mirror, she received Min Ying's reply:

"I'm free. Please contact me fifteen minutes in advance. We'll meet at the coffee shop."

Min Ying then sent the location of a coffee bar.

After the little girl replied, she put on her silver-gray high heels, put the wooden box into her white handbag, and went out and downstairs.

In the garage, Bai Shuiru glanced at the two rows of luxury cars in the garage, which were either Bentleys or Maybachs, and raised her hands to cover her face.

It is indeed embarrassing to underestimate the boss's wealth.

"Which car would you like to drive, Miss Bai?"

Bai Shuiru turned her head stiffly and gave Uncle Nan an awkward but polite smile, and suddenly an idea came to her.

"Uncle Nan, it seems Assistant Li is here?"

"Yes, his car just arrived."

Uncle Nan couldn't say that Li You received an urgent call from the young master, so he stopped the car halfway, and teleported into the young master's bedroom with him to carry Li Wai away.

The car was just driven into the manor parking lot by someone.

Bai Shuiru took the elevator up to the living room and saw Li You drinking tea in the living room, waiting for Heihuomian.

"Assistant Li, can you lend me your car?"

"I'm going to send the documents signed by my boss to the cooperative company later. What, you want to go out?"

"If she damages your car, you can pick any car in my garage."

Bai Shuiru turned around when he heard the voice and saw that Hei Huomian had changed into a dark formal suit and was walking towards them.

Hei Huo Mian's thick bangs fell on his cheeks that were not covered by his sunglasses, making his eyes and brows hidden in the shadows look even more gloomy.

The bridge of his nose was high and distinct, and his lips, of moderate thickness, held a hint of discomfort.

The light blue-gray stubble spreads from the chin to the cheeks, giving him a gothic, cool and domineering look.

Bai Shuiru, a diligent worker, sighed inwardly: The boss didn't sleep well, so he looks haggard.

So how do I need to improve my companionship to keep my job?

Why not learn a few moves of the Five Animal Exercises so you can use them on your sleeping boss next time?

When Hei Huomian saw the little girl looking back at him with a serious and thoughtful look, the tiredness in his eyes instantly disappeared.

The thin white silk dress perfectly outlines her figure, which is neither too fat nor too thin, but also has muscular lines and curves.

Before he could see clearly, she greeted him with a smile and waved goodbye, took Li You's car keys, turned around and walked lightly towards the gate of the mansion.

Li You followed Bai Shuiru out of the mansion gate and watched his Mercedes-Benz G-Class quickly reverse and roll over the lawn around the fountain in front of the manor house with the loud engine sound.

“Sorry~~!”

Bai Shuiru leaned forward and apologized to the gardener who staggered back.

Li You frowned, tilted his head towards Hei Huo Mian, and stammered:

"Boss, aren't you worried about Miss Bai's driving skills?"

Hei Huomian ignored the difficulty on his assistant's face and secretly ordered:

"The four secret guards from the east, south, west and north will follow her and bring her back safely!"

I watched the Mercedes Benz zigzagging like a drunk as it drove out of the circular gravel road of the fountain pool, occasionally scraping the small marble flower beds on the side of the road.

Bai Shuiru's timid apology floated over from afar: "Sorry~, Assistant Li! I will compensate you!"

Li You sighed in pain, looked at Hei Huomian, and muttered, "Boss, can I really choose your car?"

"Which one do you like?" Hei Huomian glanced at his assistant through his sunglasses.

"No, no." Li You hurriedly shook his head and opened the car door for his boss before the driver.

An hour later, Bai Shuiru finally arrived at the antique market without any danger. He happily took a tour around and then left.

She took out the old beads she had just found from her bag with a smile, and admired them for a while before putting them back into her bag and looking around for a shop selling ice cream.

Hey, isn’t that Mianmian?

Bai Shuiru raised her hand to greet her when she saw her best friend meet a tall man in black and walk into a coffee shop side by side.

Humph! You put women before friends. You told me you were busy but you still went out on a date!

I caught you!

Bai Shuiru was grinning wickedly as she looked at the photo of the two people's backs that she had captured on her phone. She was just about to send it to Hao Mianmian to "call for justice" when Min Ying called.

Half an hour later, Bai Shuiru hurried from the parking lot to the coffee bar where she had made an appointment with Min Ying. She came to her seat breathlessly and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, I arrived early."

Min Ying asked her to sit down and pushed another glass of lemonade on the table in front of her, "Drink some water first."

"I changed the time because I was going on a business trip, so you have to rush."

Bai Shuiru gulped down half a glass of lemonade and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Min Ying, I delayed your work."

Min Ying shook his head and frowned as he asked, "Where are the bodyguards that Hei Huo Mian arranged to protect you? Why don't I see any of them?"

"Yes, yes," Bai Shuiru nodded, and looked around slowly and mysteriously, then raised her hand to cover her lips and replied:

"Their stealth skills are great! They are secret guards after all! Haha!"

The four secret guards who were two meters away from Bai Shuiru: "..."

"So Miss Bai really knows that we are following her?"

"Shut up! The whereabouts of the Dark Emperor's secret guards were discovered by their protectors. If this gets out, will we still have any face?!"

Min Ying held the coffee cup and observed quietly.

If even I didn't notice the bodyguards who were secretly protecting her, then Hei Huomian's protection was really in place.

It seems that he really cares about Shui Ru.

"We haven't caught Zhong Suiru yet. Even if you have secret guards to protect you, you still have to pay more attention to your safety. After all, it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow."

"Yes! I will! Thank you, Brother Min Ying, for your concern!"

While Bai Shuiru was taking an order, Min Ying chatted with the waiter and looked at the girl in front of him without any scruples.

But after not seeing her for a few days, she has become more and more like a lady from a noble family, but with a sense of distance and aloofness; is it because she has been in contact with Hei Huomian more and more, and has been affected by him?

In the past, her eyes and brows were filled with restraint and forbearance, but now all that has disappeared, replaced by open-mindedness, cheerfulness, and the confidence to move forward courageously.

At that time, she was like a simple and fragile white dove. She tried many times to spread her wings in the wind and rain, but she always had to let her innate talent control her and be attracted by the "magnetic lines of force" to fly back to any place that could not be called "home".

It's my fault that I didn't come back earlier to take good care of her.

Four Dark Guards:

"Oh my! The detective's eyes are full of apologetic warmth and passion!! Isn't this a clear case of secret love?!"

"This is obviously an attempt to snatch the woman from our Hades!!"

"This must be reported to the Hades, right, Captain?"

"Wait until I go and give that brat a lesson..."

"Shut up, everyone, and protect Miss Bai's safety!"
