RARE DISEASE
This era wasn’t as liberal as the ones to come.
However, for a woman to spontaneously offer to wash a man’s clothing, the innuendo is evident.
Moreover, Mo Baichuan was known for his aloof demeanor.
Though, the popular phrase “aloof” wasn’t prevalent yet in that time.
Most would describe a man like Mo Baichuan as “solitary and proud.”
Mo Baichuan always kept to himself, never letting any woman get too close, yet Li Xianxian felt she was an exception.
Being the only female assistant by Mo Baichuan’s side.
She was the object of envy amongst all employees.
Besides, she has a lot to be proud of.
She was young, beautiful, intelligent, knew how to watch her step and when to advance or retreat. She stood out from the crowd. And she was personally chosen by the Mo Family. Although they never explicitly said so, Li Xianxian saw herself as the future matriarch of the Mo Family, and the prospective wife of Mo Baichuan.
Furthermore, she was confident that Mo Baichuan held affections for her as well. It was just that societal norms made it unseemly for him to express his feelings. Since Mo Baichuan was too shy to voice his feelings, she felt she had to make the first move.
Frowning coolly, Mo Baichuan declined, “No need, you may return.”
He was only 26, still in his prime. But his family was in a hurry, fearing that he’d end up as a bachelor.
Li Xianxian was foisted upon him by his father and grandfather under the guise of work.
Outside of work, he never gave Li Xianxian any inappropriate signals.
The perfect partner in his mind didn’t have to be the prettiest but certainly had to be the one he loved.
This brought to mind the word “love”.
The face that emerged in his mind was distinctively fun yet gorgeous.
Such a young girl already possessed qualities that could make men lose their senses. Unfortunately, she was already taken by an unknown older man!
Reflecting on this, Mo Baichuan quickly shook himself out of his reverie.
What was he doing, thinking of that young girl out of the blue?
Upon hearing his words, instead of leaving, Li Xianxian moved a step closer to Mo Baichuan, her face slightly red, her voice flirtatious, “There’s no need to be embarrassed, Mr. Mo. It’s my job to…”
Mo Baichuan’s face chilled even further and he took a step back, “Miss. Li Xianxian, please respect yourself!”
“Mr. Mo…” Li Xianxian drew out her words, attempting to pull on Mo Baichuan’s sleeve.
But Mo Baichuan didn’t give her a chance.
He quickly pulled away his arm, sternly warning, “Li Xianxian, always remember your position! Should you overstep any boundaries, report to the logistics department tomorrow!”
