It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

After breakfast, I went out and saw Lu Ciye's assistant Xiao Zhang waiting by the car on the street.

Because of the one-year contract, their marriage was not made public. Apart from the people from both families, no one else knew about it, so it was considered a secret marriage.

The villa was on the way to their company, so after the exchange, Lu Ciye was the first to get off the car.

It was a half-hour journey. Lu Ci took motion sickness medicine and leaned on Xie Xingran's shoulder, so he didn't feel motion sickness when he arrived at his destination.

Everyone in the company knew that Xie Xingran was the boss's sister, so when Lu Ci, who was working in her place, got out of an unfamiliar Rolls-Royce, no one was surprised or curious.

"Don't talk too much and pay attention to your personality." Xie Xingran specifically reminded him before getting off the car.

Hearing this, Lu Ci pouted in dissatisfaction and emphasized: "I really don't talk much normally."

[Why does she always complain that I talk too much? Humph, starting today, I'm going to establish a cool and quiet personality.

If you talk to her again, I'll be a dog! Let's see if she can handle my 'cold violence'?

Xie Xingran rolled his eyes in his heart, "Okay, okay, you're not talking much, let's go, or someone will see you."

Lu Ci also slammed the car door and left angrily.

As soon as he left, the car continued to drive. Xiao Zhang, who was driving the car, frequently glanced at her through the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After their eyes met for the third time, Xie Xingran put down the document and said, "Xiao Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xiao Zhang hadn't expected to be asked this question, and was embarrassed for a moment. "Uh, I just felt, President, weren't you a little harsh to the young lady?"

Xie Xingran thought about it and asked, "Is there?"

He's not that fierce, is he? It's just that he's such a bad person.

Xiao Zhang, who is also married, said with experience: "Yes! President, you don't know this is your first marriage, but you can't be mean to women. You have to coax them."

Xie Xingran was silent for a while, then asked in confusion, "Are you getting married for the second time?" I haven't heard Lu Ci mention that either.

Xiao Zhang was stunned and quickly defended himself: "How is that possible? I only have one wife, and I love her very much! President, please don't slander me. I am a very loyal and affectionate man!"

Seeing his anxious look, Xie Xingran suddenly smiled.

No wonder Lu Ci also asked him to be his assistant. Sometimes their personalities are quite similar.

Xiao Zhang continued earnestly, "What I mean is that, President, you just got married, so you might not understand women's minds very well."

Xie Xingran leaned back and said, "It's okay. I know exactly what he's thinking."

Xiao Zhang choked, and since Xie Xingran seemed indifferent, he didn't overstep his bounds to remind him.

He is an assistant and although he has been with the president for two years, the president has treated everyone in the company the same way over the years, seemingly gentle but actually cold.

And no one is any different.

When he arrived at the company, Xie Xingran got out of the car, took the president's exclusive elevator to the 23rd floor, and started his morning work.

Before they started working, the two had practiced signing each other's names. After the marriage, due to the conflict of interest, Xie Xingran gained the right to sign on behalf of Lu Ci.

But Xie Xingran knew his limits, and would let Lu Ci make his own decisions on some important meetings and documents.

In his position, Xie Xingran doesn't need to create a special persona.

Because I learned from Mrs. Lu that Lu Ci is also a relatively serious person in the company.

He is polite and gentlemanly, and always treats people in the company in a superior-subordinate relationship.

She doesn't need to act cheerful, she just needs to nod politely when others greet her.

Serious in front of people, talkative behind their backs.

The contrast between before and after made Xie Xingran curious whether he had schizophrenia and had two personalities in his body.

After seeing his flexible acting skills, she was no longer so skeptical.

She just wanted to applaud him and say it was a shame that he wasn't an actor.

At noon, Lu Ci also asked her to have lunch together, saying that the food in her company was not to his liking.

Xie Xingran raised her eyebrows, wondering if the voice she heard in the morning was just an auditory hallucination.

Didn’t this guy say that if he continued to pay attention to her, he would be a dog?

Thinking of this, she jokingly said, "Then learn to bark like a dog and let me hear it."

There was silence for three full seconds. Xie Xingran felt a little sorry that he couldn't hear his inner thoughts because they were too far away.

After a while, someone angrily said, "Xie Xingran, you are insulting me!"

After saying that, he fiercely turned off the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the other side, Xie Xingran touched his nose guiltily.

But that's not what he had said in his heart before. If he took the initiative to talk to her again, he would be a dog.

She just wanted him to be an honest and trustworthy person. That wasn't too much, was it?

Xie Xingran shrugged, ignored him, and continued with the work at hand.

After a while, the message tone on the phone rang several times. It was a voice message from Lu Ci.

[Xie Xingran, let me tell you——]

[I’m not a dog! I’m a tiger, the tiger of tigers!]

Xie Xingran just laughed it off. If a tiger doesn't show its power, it will be regarded as a sick cat. If it shows its power, it will be regarded as a kitten.

Ignoring him, she continued working.

Five minutes later, the message ringtone rang again, and it was Lu Ci who sent the voice message:

[…Can I learn to roar like a tiger? Barking like a dog is too damaging to my pride. I’m not your dog. In name, I’m your husband.]

[Ahem, so I advise you not to hurt a husband's self-esteem easily. Otherwise, you will lose...lose a husband with dignity!]

His tone was up and down, and his momentum was sometimes high and sometimes low. I don't know where he got so much drama from every day.

Xie Xingran: [Oh, then you should learn how to roar like a tiger first.]

Five seconds later,

Lu Ciye: [Roar——!!]

"Hahahaha..." Xie Xingran lay on the desk, laughing uncontrollably.

Although he is a bit dramatic, he is really funny and cute.

Xiao Zhang knocked on the door and came in with the documents. He saw his president laughing in an unruly manner, and a question mark appeared above his head.

"President, President! This document requires your signature."

Xie Xingran's cheeks flushed with laughter. He forced himself to control his emotions, read the document carefully, and then signed it.

"It's time to get off work. Let's talk about it in the afternoon." She said, with a smile unconsciously raised at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Zhang nodded and said yes, guessing that the president was going to have dinner with the young lady.

It’s true that being married is different. I smile more.

After ten minutes,

Xie Xingran walked into the agreed restaurant, looked around, and saw a familiar figure by the window.

At the same time, he also saw Jiang Ciyang with a hypocritical face...
