"Alright. This is the only option for now." Jiang Chen stuck one hand in the pocket of her leather miniskirt, rubbed her nose with the other, and looked down at her restless foot that was kicking back and forth.
Claudia and Mei Xuejian were the mainstays of the Xing Ruyu Studio.
Although Mei Xuejian was young and promising, he was still a newbie. There were many aspects where he was not as experienced as Claudia.
As for Ding Ruola? It was still unknown how capable she was...
However, whenever Jiang Chen thought that the studio was opened for Ding Ruola by Mr. Fang, she felt that this woman relied on her husband rather than having any real skills.
But since Mr. Claude was injured like this, there was no other choice.
"Everyone, work hard! Come on!" Jiang Chen let out a meaningful sigh and accidentally caught sight of Lu Hui, who was still having porridge in the corner.
"Um."
Lu Hui stared at her with her big innocent eyes and shoveled another spoonful of porridge into her mouth: "..."
Early in the morning, the employees of Xing Ruyu Studio all came to work early.
Each was busy in their own office.
Ding Ruola turned on her computer and was working on the 3D model of the entire garden design, calculating various data...
[Master!]
Suddenly, her phone beeped. Ding Ruola took a look and found that it was her little apprentice.
[What's up? Do you have another problem? What kind of drawing? Send it to me and let me take a look!]
[No, Master. I...]
[Huh? What's wrong with you? Pat your head. Be good.]
[Can I come to your place for a meal today? My parents aren't at home, and my uncle isn't in the company either. I don't want to eat the food prepared by the assistant sister anymore.]
Ding Ruola: "..."!
Thinking that Fang Siyan hadn't come back yet and she would be all alone and lonely at home.
[Sure! Master will also be alone at home. It's just right for you to come and keep me company. Haha.]
[Oh! Then come and pick me up, Master! I miss you right now~]
Seemingly seeing that Ding Ruola had agreed, the little one's words were filled with excitement.
Ding Ruola: "..." Pick her up now? Come to the office?
[Pick you up now? Where are you? Master is in the office now. You have to promise Master that you'll be good and not make any noise after you come, okay?]
Ding Ruola glanced at the design drawing on the computer and was about to turn it off.
[Okay! I will definitely not make any noise!]
[Okay. Send me your address.]
[Um, no need. Master, you're busy! Just tell me your address. I'll come to you! Hehe!] The little one seemed to have thought for a while.
[Oh. Alright.]
After sending the message, Ding Ruola just realized something!
The little one was so young and her parents weren't with her. Could she manage on her own? Ding Ruola helplessly rubbed her forehead and couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
"Ahem..." Just then, Ding Ruola suddenly realized that she knew nothing about this little apprentice!
Who were her parents? What did her family do? If her parents came back and couldn't find their child, would they think that she had abducted the kid?
Ding Ruola suddenly felt a bit of a toothache.
She only remembered that the last time she asked the little one's name, the little one said her name was Junjun...
Half an hour later, the doorbell of the office rang.
Hearing the doorbell, Ding Ruola was about to come out of the cubicle and casually finished the last few steps of the 3D design drawing.
Mei Xuejian was getting some water in the living room and happened to open the door.
"Um." Seeing a strong man in black standing at the door, Mei Xuejian was stunned for a moment and twitched the corner of his mouth.
The black - suited bodyguard was wearing a pair of sunglasses, his lips tightly pursed, standing ramrod straight, looking fierce.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Mei Xuejian remembered that the signboard of Xing Ruyu Studio had been made just a few days ago.
Was this man here for an order? Dressed like this? What kind of order? A death list? ...
Mei Xuejian and the man in black stared at each other at the door for a long time, but the man in black didn't answer his question.
Mei Xuejian suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
"..." Just as Mei Xuejian was feeling puzzled, suddenly there came a clear and pure laugh of a baby: "Giggle..."
Mei Xuejian looked down and only then noticed that there was a little girl at the door, looking up at him with a look of joy as if she had successfully played a prank.
Mei Xuejian twitched the corner of his mouth: "..."
The little girl had a ball - head hairstyle, with two cute balls on her head.
She was wearing a bright red woolen coat with cute strawberries on the corners.
She was also wearing a pair of round - framed sunglasses, which looked a bit funny.
"Hello, big brother. I'm looking for my master~" The little girl leaned one hand on the door, bent one leg and tucked it behind the other.
She pushed her glasses, and the originally a bit too big frame simply slid down to the bridge of her nose.
The little girl lowered her head slightly and looked at Mei Xuejian with a slight roll of her eyes.
Seemingly a bit angry, her pink lips pouted, looking extremely cute.
She said in a good - tempered manner again: "Hey, this big brother. I'm looking for my master."
"Your master? Who is it?"
"Junjun?" When Ding Ruola came out of the office, she saw the picture of two big people and a little one in a stand - off at the door. It was somehow a bit funny, and she held back her laughter.
"Master!" The little one saw Ding Ruola and didn't care about Mei Xuejian anymore. She squeezed in through the crack of the door.
Mei Xuejian turned around and looked at the little one, pressed his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a bit heart - blocked.
At this time, the tall man in black at the door suddenly took a step forward and got closer to Mei Xuejian, looking serious and solemn.
Seeing a fierce - looking man suddenly getting close to him, Mei Xuejian's face instantly darkened: "What, do, you, want? And who is your master?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ding Ruola who was talking to the little one, and his face showed a complex expression.
What kind of apprentice did classmate Ding take in? And two of them? The difference was a bit big...
The man in black didn't say a word. He silently took out a string of pink baby bottles, lollipops, raisins, a plush teddy bear... from behind.
Mei Xuejian: "..."!
"May I come in?" The man in black held the string of pink items in one hand, stood up straight, and looked serious.
With a "pop" sound, a bear - shaped cookie fell out of the man in black's pocket...
The man in black: "..."
The man was broad - shouldered and stocky. His movement of bending down to pick up the cookie was a bit clumsy.
Mei Xuejian stepped aside and let the man in.
Ding Ruola was sitting on the sofa, talking to the little one.
The man in black sat upright respectfully, without taking off his sunglasses. He took out one thing after another from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Soon, the baby food and toys piled up like a mountain on the table.
Mei Xuejian stood aside indifferently, sizing up the people. He stuck one hand in his pants pocket and raised the other hand to take a sip of tea.
At this time, Lu Hui came out of the room with a lollipop in her mouth and a document in her hand. She was about to go to Mei Xuejian's room.
