Stealing the moonlight into my arms

After the meeting, Fu Runing returned to his office.

Xiao Yanting's sudden arrival at the company became fresh gossip.

The assistant was holding a coffee cup and talking in a lively voice, "Sister Fu, this new Mr. Xiao is Mr. Weng's son. Isn't he the young master of the Xiao family?"

Fu Runing looked at the cream sunflowers on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the assistant asked, "Hey, Sister Fu, why do you look so uninterested?"

Fu Runing came back to her senses and said softly, "It's just a change of boss. Why would anyone be interested?"

The assistant said excitedly, "Of course they're different. Mr. Weng was difficult to get along with, Mr. Chen was an old man, and now this Mr. Xiao is young, rich, handsome, and still single. Oh my god, he looks only 23, right? Just looking at his face makes me happy when I work with him!"

"I wonder if someone will pour coffee on him one day, twist their ankle and fall flat on their face in front of him the next day, and happen to fall into his arms..."

Fu Runing couldn't help but laugh when she heard the assistant's words, "You've watched too many skits."

But when Fu Runing thought back to the years when she and Xiao Yanting were deskmates, she realized that such things had happened to this young master quite a few times.

There are always love letters and snacks under the desk.

School uniforms are often dirty, either with juice stains or water stains.

Thanks to Xiao Yanting, she ate plenty of chocolate during her three years in junior high school.

They lost contact after junior high school. Their families were so different that it was normal that they had no contact afterwards.

But she didn't expect that because of Xiao Jingting, she would be involved with the Xiao family.

Speaking of which, in the three years since Fu Runing married into the Xiao family, she has never seen Xiao Yanting once. He is either in a branch abroad or in a remote area. He never comes back during the holidays. All he has are the financial statements and impressive data submitted to him time and time again.

He is a child of destiny and has been trained as the family heir since childhood.

Fu Runing and Xiao Yanting met even earlier, when she was twelve years old.

That year, she followed the school bus to participate in a social practice field trip. There were students in the bus who were younger than her, and sitting next to her was a boy who was younger than her. He was not tall and looked like a small carrot. He was fair and clean, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, but he had a cocky face and didn't like to talk to people.

After getting on the bus, the teacher in charge repeatedly reminded the adults to take good care of the children around them.

When the seriously overloaded van hit the school bus, Fu Runing, who was full of responsibility, did not hesitate to turn sideways and hug the boy next to her tightly, protecting him with half of her body.

The school bus failed to avoid the situation and overturned on the road, causing a dizzying feeling of collapse.

Fu Runing still remembers that at that time, her ears were filled with the crying and screaming of her classmates. She didn't know where on her body hurt, but it seemed like everything hurt. She couldn't open her eyes or make a sound.

Amidst the chaos and tinnitus, she heard the boy's faint voice beside her.

"Hey, open your eyes, don't die..."

If Fu Runing hadn't had the strength to speak at that time, she would have definitely retorted.

How dare the weakling bean sprouts and diced radish curse her!

After the serious traffic accident, Fu Runing was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to a ruptured spleen. Because of her special blood type, Fu Zhangnan discovered the thin boy who was pushed out by the driver of the car that caused the accident.

So after returning to Shengzhou, their family had a new family member, Fu Zheng.

Half a year later, Fu Runing started junior high school. Her new deskmate appeared in front of her wearing a clean and refreshing school uniform. It was the little carrot Ding who had a life-and-death friendship with her on the school bus.

It's just some radish that has grown a little taller.

The boy placed a box of exquisitely wrapped chocolates on her desk, with a bright smile in his eyes, and extended his hand to her.

He said, "Hello, deskmate. My name is Xiao Yanting. I didn't study in this area before. My home is very far away from here, and I don't have any old classmates I know. You know a lot of people, so I'll hang out with you from now on."

Fu Runing slapped the table and laughed heartily: "Okay, I'll protect you from now on!"

Xiao Yanting is the youngest student in their class, and he is also a top student who skipped two grades.

So Fu Runing protected him and made him her follower for three years. Of course, this was a title she gave herself.

At that time, Xiao Yanting could be said to be a heartthrob. He had great looks, top grades, could play musical instruments, dance ballroom dance, and was even an outstanding athlete. He was well-rounded in moral, intellectual, and physical development. Whenever he participated in a basketball game, the court would be packed with onlookers.

A child of destiny, it seems like he was born to be in the spotlight.

When they were quarreling, the only thing Fu Runing could criticize him for was that he was short. After all, Xiao Yanting was two years younger than his classmates at that time. Of course, Fu Runing could only say this to herself and she didn't allow others to say it.

At that time, she didn't know that Xiao Yanting's family was so rich, and she would never have thought that due to this coincidence of fate, she would marry into the Xiao family and become his sister-in-law.

The knock on the office door interrupted Fu Runing's thoughts.

Upon hearing the voice, Fu Runing and the assistant looked up at the same time.

A tall and graceful man stood at the door. He was only wearing a white shirt, no tie, and a pair of sneakers. He looked so leisurely that he didn't look like a new boss at all. Instead, he looked like a dandy young man who was just waiting to die.

Xiao Yanting walked into the office and looked at Fu Runing. He spoke casually, like an old friend reminiscing about the past: "Manager Fu, I'm new here and unfamiliar with the place. I'm in need of an assistant. Are you interested?"

Fu Runing smiled faintly and said, "Didn't Mr. Weng leave an assistant for you?"

Xiao Yanting shook his head gracefully, "That won't work. I'm not familiar with them."

The young assistant was slightly surprised to hear this, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Xiao Yanting and Fu Runing.

"Um...Mr. Xiao, Sister Fu, I'll go get you a cup of tea."

After saying this, the assistant quickly walked out of the office, closing the door as he left.

Xiao Yanting raised his eyebrows.

Only Fu Runing and he were left in the office.

A smile spread across the man's eyes, and he curled his lips and said lightly: "Classmate, have you forgotten me?"

Fu Runing was slightly stunned when she heard the word "classmate".

Xiao Yanting was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the same sharp eyebrows and bright eyes as when he was a child. Time has polished his facial features to be more profound and handsome.

He is similar to Xiao Jingting, but also different.

Fu Runing curved her lips and smiled lightly, "How could that be? Even though I don't see you every year, your photos are always there at grandpa and grandma's place, and grandma always praises her outstanding grandson from time to time. How could I not remember you?"

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Yanting's eyes, but it was fleeting.

He said calmly, "I thought you wouldn't recognize me when you saw me."

After saying that, Xiao Yanting picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table, unscrewed it, and drank two sips.

Seeing him looking just as cocky as before, Fu Runing deliberately said, "Why can't you recognize him? Oh, right, right, Luoboting has grown so tall now. Who would have thought?"

Xiao Yanting remained unmoved and continued to drink water.

Fu Runing continued, "You've become so handsome. When you walked into the conference room this morning, I thought you were the artist the company had just signed. I was thinking you were going to be a huge hit."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanting's brows relaxed.

The man suppressed the upward twitch of his lips and said angrily, "Your mouth hasn't changed. It's still the same as before. Not a single word of sincerity or truth is said."

Fu Runing tilted her head and looked at him, "Isn't this sincere enough?"

Xiao Yanting put down the water in his hand and asked half-jokingly, "Classmate, have you thought about me in these years?"

The man squinted at her, a glimmer in his peach-shaped eyes.

But I miss you very much.
