Ye Xi was taken aback; she had never thought about it from that angle.
She quickly stopped the gossip at its source, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Zhou Fan and I are senior and junior from the same university, we've known each other for years, so we're just more familiar than others."
"Oh, I see, that explains why he is so naturally close to you."
Ye Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The gossip about her and Manager Han was still fresh in Ye Xi's mind.
She knew all too well how terrifying people's words could be.
...
After work, as Ye Xi just stepped out of the company doors, she spotted a familiar car parked at the entrance.
Soon, the car's backseat door was pushed open from the inside, and a child in a cream-coloured sweater jumped out.
Just as the driver Lao Meng opened the door, Lu Youheng had already stepped out of the car and rushed toward Ye Xi.
Ye Xi's eyes lit up as she caught the charging Youyou and asked, "Youyou, what brings you here?"
