Dear CEO, Check Yourself

Dinner was held in silence. The difference was that Xiao He didn't ask Bai Xiaoning to serve from beginning to end. There was not much communication between them.

After dinner, Xiao He left Bai Xiaoning alone and hid in his study.

"Uncle housekeeper, you don't think Xiao is a little strange?" Bai Xiaoning took the pills she needed to take before going to bed from housekeeper Wang and asked in a low voice.

Housekeeper Wang smiled intentionally or unintentionally and said, "young master has been in your room all afternoon. He probably has a lot of work to do. Don't blame him."

"He, he has been in my room all afternoon?" Bai Xiaoning's eyes widened somewhat uninteresting.

Housekeeper Wang nodded with certainty: "in the afternoon, the assistant sent several important documents, but the young master said anything until you wake up, so... I hope it won't be delayed."

After hearing what housekeeper Wang said, Bai Xiaoning was moved.

Xiao He really didn't leave. He was trying his best to take care of her and didn't hesitate to lose his most important job.

"I've never seen the young master like this. Xiao Ning, I think the young master cares about you very much." There was an unspeakable meaning in housekeeper Wang's eyes.

Care.

What a warm word.

In Bai Xiaoning's life, no one can take care of her like Xiao He. Even her mother turns a blind eye to her existence.

Many times, she can clearly feel that her mother doesn't like her or even hates seeing her, but she doesn't know why.

She used to be jealous that her mother gave all her love to her brother Bai Rui.

In her impression, her mother hardly smiled at her... So when she was a child, she never got attention and care.

Later, my mother died of illness. On her deathbed, she just told her to take good care of her brother.

Bai Xiaoning gives Bai Rui all her care for this entrustment, but she has never tasted the taste of being cared for and taken care of by others.

Now, the housekeeper said that Xiao He cares about her... She won't question what the housekeeper said, because he has no reason to deceive himself.

But why.

Why should Xiao he care about her.

She's just a hostage, a maid, isn't she.

Seeing Bai Xiaoning murmuring without speaking, housekeeper Wang then said, "Xiaoning, young master, he is not a person who is good at expressing himself. Sometimes people like him will inevitably be arrogant, willful and do something you think is very childish."

"I hope you can try your best to understand him. After a long time, you will think that the young master actually has a very lovely side."

Bai Xiaoning was shocked by the words of the housekeeper uncle again. He even said that Xiao He's a lovely boss. It's obviously terrible, okay.

But on second thought, the housekeeper uncle has been in Xiao's house for so many years. If anyone knows Xiao he best, I'm afraid it must be uncle.

Maybe, it's really like what he said. Xiao He just looks cold on the outside, and there may be a lovely boy in his heart.

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Xiaoning couldn't help bending her lips.

Once Xiao He big boss is cute, it should be quite interesting.

……

When she came out from the housekeeper's uncle and was preparing to go upstairs to her room, Bai Xiaoning couldn't help but turn around on the door of Xiao He's study.

This guy is probably buried in his work.

Just then, a maid with a tray came straight from the corridor. She stopped and tapped on the door twice.

Watching the door open, Bai Xiaoning stretched her neck to see the situation in the study, but only saw a bright light and shadow.

Until the maid respectfully withdrew from the room and disappeared at the end of the corridor, Bai Xiaoning sighed in frustration and walked to her room.

According to housekeeper Wang, Xiao he should be very busy now. She'd better not bother.

Back in the room, Bai Xiaoning was upset for some reason. Even her favorite picture book was thrown aside by her.

She only tasted the medicine and planned to sleep through it.

In the middle of the night, Bai Xiaoning was awakened by thirst. She vaguely extended her hand to the water cup on the table, but found that it was empty.

She had no choice but to put on a dress and go out to the tea room to pour water.

In the dead of night, there was no sound in the corridor. Bai Xiaoning was familiar with the way to the tea room. Just as she turned the corner of the corridor, she vaguely heard someone chatting in the tea room.

This should be the maid on duty chatting. Bai Xiaoning didn't pay special attention at first, but at this time, she heard one of the maids say, "young master, it's really hard. I don't go to rest at this time."

Another maid seemed to smile. "Young master doesn't want to work hard, but what can I do?"

"That's right. The young master takes care of such a large Shengtang group alone."

"What do you know? The young master is not from the Xiao family. How can he have such a position today if he doesn't work harder?"

Hearing the maid's words, Bai Xiaoning was shocked.

Just when she was confused, someone had asked her doubts: "what are you talking about? How can the young master not be from the Xiao family? "

"How long have you been here and how much do you know about the rich family? I tell you... Young master, he came back from the dead Master and wife. "

"Impossible!"

"How impossible! This is absolutely true. My father is the driver who once served the master and wife. When he took the young master back, he drove to pick him up. "

Perhaps the topic was so shocking that another maid in the tea room was silent for a long time before she said, "really? Miss yue'er...... "

"It is true that miss yue'er was born by the master and his wife. It is said that their husband and wife have not had children since they got married. In order to enable the Xiao family to have an heir, they went out to adopt the young master."

"A few years after the young master came to this house, his wife suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to miss yue'er. Unfortunately, such a good man as the master and wife would encounter a car accident."

"That is, from then on, the young master inherited everything from the Xiao family and became the successor of the Shengtang group."

"I think it's probably thanks to the trust of the old man that the young master, who has no blood relationship with the Xiao family, can inherit such a great family business."

The maid's voice grew lower and lower until the last few days could not be heard.

Bai Xiaoning completely stayed where she was, holding the glass in her hand at a loss. It was obviously difficult to digest the news she had just heard.

Xiao He is the adopted son of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yue is his sister who has no blood relationship.

It sounds like a joke. It's all the plot in the novel!

But the maid didn't sound like a liar. Was Xiao He really... Bai Xiaoning tightly clutched the glass in her hand and didn't even know the appearance of green tendons in her joints.

Bai Xiaoning doesn't know how she got back to the room. All she knows is that after she fell into bed, she didn't sleep all night. The words in her head are what the maid said.

……

In the morning, Bai Xiaoning, wearing a mask and a pair of panda eyes, appeared in front of Xiao He's door. She hesitated for a while, but she reached out and knocked at the door.

"Come in." Xiao He's cool voice came faintly from the room.

Bai Xiaoning walked into the room and walked through the dark living room to Xiao He's bedroom.

As expected, he had not got up yet. He was lying lazily on the bed, supporting his head with his hands, and his eyes narrowed slightly... The slightly messy black entangled in his forehead, adding a sense of freedom and freedom different from usual to him.

"You are very early today." Xiao He looked at her with a low voice and some hoarseness just after waking up.

Bai Xiaoning silently stretched out her hand to open the curtains. The sunshine outside the window is not strong. The whole sky gives people a gloomy feeling.

She looked back and said naturally, "I'm used to it."

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Xiao He looked at her face and suddenly asked.

Bai Xiaoning was shocked in her heart and shook her head hurriedly: "no, not at all." She did have something on her mind, but she didn't believe Xiao could see it at a glance.

Admittedly, what she heard last night caused her some trouble, but after this night, she also wanted to understand that no matter who Xiao He is or whether he is related to the Xiao family, it's none of her business.

As long as Xiao He is still in front of him, that's good.

As for other things, it's nothing but trouble.

"Really?" Xiao he smiled and suddenly grabbed her little hand and pulled her in his arms.

"What are you doing?" Bai Xiaoning struggled, but she was afraid of meeting Xiao He's wound. She was in vain.

Xiao he blinked his long and narrow eyes and said solemnly, "I have something to say to you."

"Can't you let me go?" Bai Xiaoning helplessly nestled in his arms and asked.

Although she said so, Bai Xiaoning also knew that Xiao He would never do what she wanted. If this guy could be obedient and let her go, he would not be Xiao He.

Sure enough, Xiao He didn't seem to hear her at all. Instead, he tied her more tightly and said slowly, "I think you kissed me once. If I don't kiss back, I won't suffer."

"No one can make me suffer, don't you think?"

Of course, Bai Xiaoning recognized the meaning of these words. She couldn't help blushing and stammered, "you, no, I have a cold!"

"So what?" Xiao He's face got closer and closer, and his thin and shaped lips and eyes were about to stick to the tip of her nose.

"It's contagious!" Bai Xiaoning cried out in a hurry.

Xiao he heard the speech and suddenly stopped. He nodded: "well, you're right, but..."
