268. Rita is sometimes a bit strong

In a warehouse filled with various documents, materials, and original paintings, Rita opened the door and found Xu Qi standing inside.

At this moment, he was casually flipping through the original paintings that ETStudio had preserved for who knows how many years.

As the "tapping" sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed in the room, Xu Qi couldn't help but smile as she lowered her head to read the book.

"Do you have any nostalgic feelings? Or have you retained your childishness after so many years?"

The voice was still elegant, but one could tell that it contained a lot of anger and resentment.

"Is it because I haven't been here all morning?"

The conversation was incoherent, but Rita understood that Xu Qi had heard her emotions.

Rita didn't have the bad habit of saying what she meant, so she took a few deep breaths, nodded, and said, "Yes, although Manager Xu is indeed qualified to arrange his own time.

But no matter what, you have to make sure I can contact you at any time, right? At least you have to let me know what you are going to do today!"

I was so angry that I started calling him "Manager Xu" again.

Xu Qi closed the thick manuscript and put it back on the shelf. He straightened his clothes and then walked slowly to Rita.

The not-too-dim incandescent light was shining overhead, and the surroundings were filled with shelves of documents, making the two of them seem as if they were submerged in a room full of words.

Rita was still wearing the white frilly top, her full chest rising and falling with her heavy breathing.

Her cheeks were slightly red, but it was obviously not a blush caused by shyness - it was most likely caused by anger.

Xu Qi lowered his eyes and looked at Rita.

"Sorry, I was dealing with something special this morning, so I couldn't get through on the phone."

Rita frowned - something special?

"I can't tell you this because it involves the privacy of a friend of mine, but for me personally, I definitely don't intend to conceal my whereabouts.

Rita, I don’t know if you can accept this explanation.”

……

Rita turned her head away. Perhaps it was because Xu Qi was a little too close to her at the moment, which made her couldn't help but recall some memories in her mind... She didn't know if they could be considered good memories.

“If it’s a personal matter… there’s nothing I can do about it… but next time before this kind of problem occurs, you should at least contact me… or someone else in the company.

At least you have to let me know what's wrong with you."

Xu Qi scratched his head.

"This is indeed an oversight on my part."

The main reason was that Xu Qi had never expected that Rita would be so anxious when he was away for only half a day. Now it seemed that he had become the backbone of Seed Studio.

No longer just a leader in a position.

But if that were the case...Xu Qi would have no idea how to start the next sentence.

"Rita, I asked you to come here...mainly because I have something I want to tell you."

Xu Qi put his hands on his hips, not quite calm, and his slightly conflicted eyes seemed to have told Rita that what Xu Qi was going to say next might bring some trouble.

"What's wrong?"

Rita frowned and thought about it.

"Could it be that there is a follow-up reaction to the incident with Miss Jiang last time? Or is it related to the robbery you did on Manager Liu's territory yesterday?"

"Uh...neither."

Rita breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like maybe it wasn't a big deal.

"I might be away for about a week. I hope... Rita, you can manage the operation of Seed for me during my absence."

……

Rita blinked her eyes and suddenly smiled brightly.

"You must be kidding me, right? Director Xu Qi."

……

A tremendous pressure was exerted on Xu Qi from Rita. He half opened his mouth, looked at Miss Rita's amiable face at this moment, and answered in a slightly dry voice.

"without……"

Rita's face suddenly darkened, she looked at Xu Qi and said, "As the director of an animation IP project, I left my post for a week at the beginning of the project.

Do you know what this means? Xu Qi. "

The voice was very low, and Rita was speaking to Xu Qi almost word by word. Every word in the conversation seemed to jump out from between teeth...

"I……"

"This means deserters... and for such people, I think no one would treat them any other way except spitting and despising them."

After Rita finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Qi grabbed her arm!

"No, Rita! No... I don't want to resign, nor do I want to leave completely, I just... I have encountered some things that I have to deal with!

This matter concerns my family, Rita... I can't just sit back and watch! Of course I know that Seed's side is equally important, but! ...But I have you!

I believe you can take over my job well, just for a week, Rita! And I can promise that I can always keep in touch, Rita... help me."

Xu Qi's other words did not shake the elegant maid in the slightest, but until the last sentence...

When Xu Qi said in an almost pleading tone - "Help me."

There was a hint of trembling in Rita's eyes as she turned her back to Xu Qi.

She pursed her lips slightly and did not choose to turn around, but asked very firmly.

"Where?"

"There is a place called Taixu Mountain, you may not know it..."

However, after Xu Qi finished speaking, the light in Rita's pupils trembled more violently!

Taixu Mountain... She knew exactly what that place was. Why? Why did Xu Qi go to such a dangerous place? Rita suddenly thought of someone in Xu Qi's interpersonal relationship.

Fu Hua!

Yes...it must be her! There must be something wrong with this person!

Otherwise, there is no reason for Xu Qi to go to Taixu Mountain!

No...no!

"Xu Qi, I know Taixu Mountain. I... was lucky enough to learn about this place from a friend's description - but it's very dangerous."

"I know, but I still have to..."

Rita suddenly turned around and grabbed Xu Qi by the collar! This surprised Xu Qi a little. After all, he didn't expect that Rita would have such a rude side.

"I'm not kidding you! Xu Qi! It's very dangerous there... Very! Very dangerous! I won't allow you to go to such a dangerous place!"

……

Xu Qi suddenly chuckled and said, "I can understand that... you are concerned about me?"

"can."

Xu Qi was speechless for a moment. This was Rita. She would never say one thing and mean another at such a crucial moment. Her concern could be said to be very strong.

"I hope you can understand that Taixu Mountain... is not a place that anyone can enter. Even if you enter, it does not mean that it is safe inside."

Rita let go of Xu Qi. At this moment, she was like standing in front of Xu Qi, expressing her meaning to him with her body language.

If you insist on going to Taixu Mountain, I won't even let you leave this warehouse...

269. What a shameless explanation...Mr. Xu Qi

For a moment, the scene seemed to be a bit stalemate.

But Xu Qi was not a person who didn't know good from evil. He knew that Rita did this for his own good. If their identities were reversed, he would not allow the people he cared about to be put in danger.

So...it turns out that Rita cares about me so much?

Xu Qi felt a little touched for a moment.

She said something like - we can't be together yet, if you want to pursue me, you have to work harder. But in fact... Rita still cares about Xu Qi very much.

After understanding the situation, Xu Qi naturally knew what he should do.

For this veteran in the world of love... no matter how smart and capable the elegant maid is, in this regard... she is just a novice who is still at the theoretical stage.

Xu Qi reached out and held Rita's soft and boneless hands.

"Rita...if, I mean if...if one day, you encounter a very important crisis in your life, and you have to face it, but...

You can't get over it with your own strength. Do you think I will just sit there and do nothing at that time?"

Rita's eyes trembled again - saying something like this... is too shameless...

"You already have the answer in your mind, right? Because you know that if it's Xu Qi, he will definitely go! He will definitely... rush to your side.

Because Xu Qi is such a person. Even if a stranger's life is about to disappear in front of him, he will not sit idly by, let alone... it's the person he loves?"

Rita suddenly held her breath!

She felt as if her heart was being pinched by Xu Qi. For a moment, it seemed to stop beating... This guy...

Saying this at this time! Does he really... want to steal my heart?

Rita took a deep breath, and her full chest rose and fell a little because of this action.

"somebody to Love?"

"If I still can't seriously examine my heart at this time, then I'm really bad. Rita... I can be sure of one thing now!

I love you……"

These three simple words seemed to condense all of Xu Qi's strength! They hit Rita's heart hard...

Although she knew she shouldn't, Rita couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"What about Miss Mei? And Miss Alicia?"

"I love them, too. Rita, I know this explanation is shameless, and I also know that love is something you have to learn to let go of! But... I really can't let go.

Maybe I am still as naive as a child, thinking that I can have everything in this kind of thing..."

Rita couldn't help but laugh at Xu Qi's words.

She curled the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes at Xu Qi charmingly.

But of course, Rita always knew what her business was.

The elegant maid was not so easily led astray by Xu Qi.

"But I still can't let you go to Taixu Mountain, Xu Qi...it's really too...hmm!"

Unfortunately, Rita couldn't finish her next words because Xu Qi had already hugged her and kissed her on the lips.

Obviously, Rita had no resistance to Xu Qi's kiss.

After just a slight contact, her body immediately went limp like water and was hugged by Xu Qi.

The teeth were pried open easily, and the small lilac tongue still hiding in the mouth was found by the robber Xu Qi.

Fortunately, Xu Qi did not kiss her for too long. Perhaps he knew that using this method would only confuse Rita for a while.

After a brief contact of lips and tongue, Xu Qi let go of Rita.

He looked at the beautiful woman in his arms with her red lips parted and her orchid fragrance emanating from her mouth, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's too much?"

Rita panted lightly. She glared at Xu Qi fiercely, but did not dare to say anything else, for fear that the boy would take advantage of the situation and kiss her again.

For some reason, she was no longer resistant to Xu Qi's kiss and...even enjoyed it a little.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't forcefully kiss me?"

"Really? I thought you wouldn't refuse...so I kissed you."

I definitely won’t refuse…
