What To Do When The Boss Takes A Liking To You chapter 11
Future Sister-in-Law
With a trembling heart, Xu Le quickly clicked to add the friend.
As he thought rapidly in his mind, he wondered how to explain to President Lan the reason for his rejection.
Looking at the avatar, Xu Le vaguely guessed that this Western handsome boy, which seemed like a screenshot from the internet, might actually be President Lan…
He clicked on the avatar to view the full picture, which was slightly clearer this time.
The boy in the photo looked only about fifteen or sixteen, expressionless and cold. The blurriness was due to slight focus issues. Observing the casual angle of the photo, Xu Le seriously doubted that it was just a randomly taken picture uploaded as an avatar.
It seemed like the boy’s astonishing appearance, coupled with the elegant and noble school uniform, gave off the impression of a screenshot from a movie or TV show.
Moreover, Xu Le carefully observed the contours of the boy’s facial features in the photo. Although there were some slight differences from President Lan now, the changes were not significant.
The matured President Lan had a more imposing and fierce aura, and compared to the past, the softness of the male and female ambiguous beauty had faded, with overall features becoming much more rugged, even the prominent Western features had softened somewhat.
No wonder Xu Le felt a sense of familiarity at first glance, because this was actually a childhood photo of President Lan…
He stared at the blank chat box, feeling his mind as empty and desolate as the chat box.
No, he was an employee, and President Lan was his superior. He should send a message first to show respect.
He knew President Lan didn’t like empty compliments, preferring directness. So he cautiously considered it in his mind, then, feeling it was appropriate, he copied and pasted the message into the chat box and nervously clicked send.
Xu Le: [President Lan, I didn’t know it was you on WeChat just now. It was a mistake due to a slip of my hand. I’m sorry!]
Feeling that this wasn’t lively or sincere enough, he also sent a cute puppy apologizing with big innocent eyes and waving its paws animated emoji.
However, nearly half an hour passed, and Lan Qing still hadn’t replied.
Xu Le’s heart tensed again. But then he thought, perhaps President Lan was busy with other matters and couldn’t check WeChat messages.
Xu Le comforted himself this way, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. After all, the other party wasn’t an ordinary person. Surely wishing they had 48 hours in a day to handle work. How could they constantly be checking their phone?
However, he furrowed his brow in thought. Why would President Lan proactively add him on WeChat? He was clearly just an intern who hadn’t even been regularized yet.
But thinking about what Jiang Wan jie and the others said, perhaps President Lan really favored him…
At that moment, Lan Qing was indeed busy, but not with work.
Qin Yaguan was looking at the mess in the kitchen and then at her brother’s face, which was dark with anger, feeling very guilty.
She forced a laugh and said, “I didn’t just ruin your new carpet, so I bought you an identical one and had it shipped urgently by air. It will arrive the day after tomorrow. Then I thought you’d be very tired when you got home from work, so I wanted to be considerate of my dear brother, so…”
“So now you not only ruined my carpet, but also my kitchen. What’s next? Are you planning to blow up this villa too?”
Lan Qing’s face was stern. Even though he showed no expression, Qin Yaguan could still feel the invisible “killing intent.”
“I followed the tutorial exactly, where did I go wrong…” Qin Yaguan mumbled softly.
Lan Qing looked at the pot filled with an unidentifiable black mass. Not only was the pot a mess, but the once spotless stove, walls, and even the ceiling were splattered with the black gooey substance.
This wasn’t cooking; it was creating a biological weapon.
“The best way for you to show consideration for me is to do nothing at all.” Lan Qing suppressed his surging anger, barely maintaining his cold composure.
“Okay, okay, I’m sorry, Vanya. I know you wouldn’t really get mad at me, right?” Qin Yaguan said with an apologetic smile.
Lan Qing began resignedly cleaning up the mess. He turned back and asked coldly, “Are you hurt?”
Qin Yaguan was stunned, then shook her head, “No, I used the lid to shield myself, but—”
She looked at her brother, who was cleaning up with a cold face, and felt nostalgic, “I really miss when you were little. You were a cute, chubby, mixed-race little boy who couldn’t even stand steadily but insisted on clinging to me, asking me to play puzzles and Legos with you. When you got it wrong, you would cry. You were so adorable! Vanya, now all you care about is your cold, lifeless work. You’re not cute anymore.”
Hearing his sister mention his embarrassing childhood, Lan Qing’s face darkened, “Get out.”
Qin Yaguan suppressed her laughter, “You always get embarrassed and dark-faced. Don’t worry, I’ve saved all the photos and videos of you crying as a child to show to my future sister-in-law!”
Lan Qing: “…”
He began seriously considering the possibility of severing sibling ties.
