Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Decisive and Swift(2)_1

By the time Situ Xin had dealt with those two people, the only ones left in the entire hall were Wu Xiaohua, and Loo Jianxin with his assistant.

Situ Xin was in no mood to discuss the Country M stock matter with Loo Jianxin anymore. Holding Baibai, without even looking at Loo Jianxin, she said, "Uncle, I won’t tell auntie about today’s incident. But I ask you to explain it to her yourself when you get back, before she hears it through someone else’s mouth. It’ll be too late by then. Also, employee management and quality are very important. We are considered a large company; we shouldn’t just hire anyone off the streets."

As Situ Xin spoke, she glanced toward Wu Xiaohua, who stood there looking meek and deferential. Noticing her attire, Situ Xin knew she was still an intern, but her impression of Wu Xiaohua wasn’t bad. "In addition, starting from today, she will become a regular employee of the company. And since you currently lack a secretary, I will speak to auntie about recruiting one for you, one she can help you find," Situ Xin said, now distrusting her uncle’s judgment regarding secretaries, feeling it quite risky. They needed someone more reliable.

Loo Jianxin felt a headache coming on after hearing Situ Xin’s words. How was he supposed to go back and explain the day’s events to his wife? That his secretary had answered his phone without permission or that she had followed him into the elevator when he wasn’t paying attention? His wife would never believe such stories. Yet, the thought of not coming clean now and the possible consequences if his wife heard about it later from someone else was something he couldn’t even bear to imagine. "I understand," Loo Jianxin replied with a dispirited voice.

"Regarding the investment matter, I’m not in the mood to discuss it today either. I’ll have Mu Li talk to you about it in a few days. Also, I hope not to encounter the same kind of incident when I come next time," Situ Xin finished, then, cradling Baibai in her arms, she turned and headed for the door.

"Eh, Baby, where are you going? If you’re heading back, let me drive you," Loo Jianxin hastily called out as he saw Situ Xin walking toward the door.

"No need, for now, seeing you makes me feel uncomfortable," said Situ Xin as she continued to walk away. These words deeply wounded Loo Jianxin’s fragile heart. What had he done to deserve this tumult?

Now the thought of Xiao Tao only made Loo Jianxin want to tear her into pieces to quell the rage in his heart.

In fact, it wasn’t unreasonable for Situ Xin to take such interest in Loo Jianxin’s affairs. After all, Loo Jianxin was the only man from both the Situ Family and the Loo Family who was involved in the business world, while the rest of the men either served in the military or worked in the government—both spheres where the chances of philandering were slim.

Moreover, they were all incorruptibly upright, a stark contrast to other playboys in their circles.

But Loo Jianxin was different in the business world. Situ Xin knew that a man like him, good-looking with wealth to his name, was very attractive to young women and had no shortage of women throwing themselves at him. Situ Xin certainly didn’t want Loo Jianxin to become the only black sheep of their families.

Besides, Situ Xin detested the conduct of men who sought mistresses and secretly harbored mistresses outside.

After leaving Loo Jianxin’s company, Situ Xin’s mood was still not great. Holding Baibai, she didn’t feel like going home. She hailed a cab on impulse and went to Dragon Society to clear her mind.

Seeing his master’s mood was down, Baibai thought for a moment and then said, "Master, you don’t have to be so angry. Your uncle hasn’t done anything to wrong your aunt. It was that woman who was trying to seduce your uncle on her own initiative."

"Eh, Baibai, how do you know that?" Situ Xin asked curiously.

"I just know, master. Haven’t I told you before? I seem to be able to sense other people’s emotional fluctuations. If I concentrate intensely, I can even know what’s on someone’s mind. But maybe because my abilities are still weak, it consumes a lot of my energy. I feel very tired after using it," Baibai explained.

"Baibai, you’ve never mentioned this to me before," Situ Xin’s voice with a dangerous edge appeared in Baibai’s mind, causing Baibai to shiver subconsciously.

"Master, I was wrong; it wasn’t intentional, I thought I had already mentioned it to you," Baibai hastily begged for forgiveness.

"Fine, considering it’s your first offense, I won’t hold you responsible. But there won’t be a next time," Situ Xin said magnanimously, pulling on Baibai’s tiger ears, but in Baibai’s mind, it was thinking, "You say you’re not holding me responsible, but what are you doing to me now?"

After playing with Baibai’s tiger ears for a while and cheering her mood up, Situ Xin said, "Baibai, I am your master, why is it that I can only sense others’ emotional states and discern if they bear ill intentions towards me, while you can perceive their inner thoughts? That’s so unfair."

"Ah, master," Baibai, feeling a sense of guilt, looked at Situ Xin with a hurt expression. "Master, you see, I don’t know why it’s like this either. It wasn’t intentional, oh, if only I hadn’t mentioned it to you," Baibai said dejectedly, its last two remarks spoken more to itself. But Situ Xin heard every word clearly.

Realizing her joke might have gone too far, Situ Xin hastily soothed Baibai, stroking its tiger fur, "Baibai, I was only teasing you. Having such an ability is the same as if I had it myself. I couldn’t be happier about it. Why would I feel sad?"

"Master, that’s too much," Baibai complained, having worried for nothing and even feeling a sense of guilt. But now, seeing not even a trace of pity on Situ Xin’s face, Baibai immediately lost its temper. It struggled within Situ Xin’s arms, attempting to escape her embrace. Baibai was heartbroken; the master had just wounded its tender soul. It decided to ignore this heartless master for a few days.

"Oh, Baibai, I know I was wrong. Please, don’t be angry. When we get back, I’ll make you some delicious food," Situ Xin tried to placate Baibai with the promise of tasty treats.
