Chapter 85

  "What's wrong with you? You look so miserable!" Dong Weiwei looked at Bai Min, asking strangely, "But don't say, you look stunning today, to the point where it's breathtaking. I knew you were a beautiful person, but not as beautiful as today, like... a female ghost."

  Bai Min glared at her, "What female ghost, am I that scary?"

  "Not the kind of female ghost with long hair, pale face and long tongue that you imagine, but rather the kind that runs out in the middle of the night, like those in chat rooms, for example, Nie Xiaoqian-like fox spirits turned into female ghosts, so beautiful that they make people's souls dizzy." Dong Weiwei said with a smile, leaning on the table and carefully examining Bai Min.

  Bai Min glared at her and ignored her.

  "Excuse me, which one is Miss Bai Min?" A person outside asked, a florist's employee, holding a bouquet of beautiful roses, blooming with unparalleled beauty, with dew on them.

  "Here, here! —— " Dong Weiwei immediately pointed at Bai Min and said, "It's her, she is Bai Min. Who sent the flowers? Is that person handsome?"

  The florist's employee smiled slightly and handed the flowers to Bai Min. Bai Min took the flowers in surprise, with a card inserted on top. The flowing font was unfamiliar, with only one sentence: "Take care of your body." She signed for the flowers, wondering who would be so kind as to send her flowers, and when did she become so popular? It turned out that no one had ever paid attention to her before.

  "Tell me honestly, who is it?" Dong Weiwei asked relentlessly.

  Bai Min smiled and said, "He didn't sign his name, how would I know who it was? Maybe it's you! You're the one with the most tricks up your sleeve, and this year on Valentine's Day, didn't you get taken in by your own trick?"

  Dong Weiwei immediately shook her head and said, "This time, I swear to heaven that it wasn't me who did it. Besides, I couldn't have written such elegant words either. You know me well, my writing skills are at most elementary school fifth-grade level."

  Bai Min smiled and said, "Alright, let's get to work quickly. Be careful not to be scolded by the leader." Hua held it in her hand, looked at it, and saw that there was no suitable place on the table to put it, so she temporarily placed it on a low cabinet.

  The phone rang, a text message alert: "I sent you flowers, do you like them? Take good care of yourself. I was supposed to pick you up but got stuck in traffic and am running late, sorry." - Duan Zhishan. With a cute smiling face at the end.

  Bai Min was stunned.

  Next, it was Duan Zhishan's text message inviting her to lunch together. Bai Min hesitated for a moment, she wasn't someone who liked office romances, and now she didn't seem to be in the mood for love either. Her mind kept wandering, as if preoccupied with something. Was it that voice? Was it curiosity about that voice?

  Have I gone crazy? How can I suddenly hear sounds that others can't hear? See things that others can't see?

  "Vivian, do you believe in the popular time-traveling nowadays?" asked Bai Min with a furrowed brow.

  "Time travel?" Dong Weiwei burst out laughing, "How old are you now? Not young anymore, but still so naive. That's the imagination of little girls, the fairy tale of little girls. What does it have to do with a mature woman like you? You should focus on the present instead. There's a handsome guy in front of you that you're not pursuing, and yet you're thinking about this so-called time travel. It's just a literary trend, not real life."

  Bai Min said, "It's ridiculous to think that someone could travel through time. How is it possible for a normal person to end up in ancient times? The people of the past and present are definitely different, who knows, maybe if someone from now went back then, they would become a monster."

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile a little. Continue with my own work.

  "Maple -" A faint call, a sweet breath, tickling her ear, the voice was filled with joy, as if pampering something, Bai Min was stunned and stood there.

  "White Min! ——" Dong Weiwei's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

  "Ah! ——" Bai Min jumped in fright, "What are you doing? You scared me to death, scaring people can kill them——" Suddenly froze, saying this, there seemed to be a familiar feeling in front of her eyes, and for a moment she was stunned, unable to speak.

  "Hey, are you possessed or something?" Dong Weiwei also stared at her blankly, "Why do you always space out, and when I talk to you, you don't even respond, your eyes are full of questions?"

  Bai Min shook his head and said in confusion: "I don't know either, maybe it's really because I took too much cold medicine, so my brain is a bit dizzy."

  "Your phone has been ringing, who keeps sending you messages?" Dong Weiwei gave her a white eye, "Everyone is looking at you, just sitting there alone and it's obvious that you're in a daze, I called your name several times but you didn't hear me."

  Bai Min was taken aback, hastily picked up her phone, and found that all the messages on it were from Duan Zhishan, expressing concern and inquiry. It turned out that she had almost finished work and hadn't declined his invitation to lunch, so Duan Zhishan must have misunderstood her silence as consent.

  "Who is it? So many messages?" Dong Weiwei smiled and leaned over, wanting to take a look at Bai Min's phone messages.

  "It's just some ads, nothing to look at, hurry up and work, chatting during working hours, want to get fired? " Bai Min immediately put away her phone, if Dong Wei saw the content of the text message, she would definitely shout out loud, from now on, there will be no shortage of rumors in the company.

  Dong Weiwei smiled slyly and said with a mischievous tone: "It can't be that handsome guy Duan, right?"

  Bai Min glared at her, lowered her head to work and ignored her. She quietly switched her phone to vibrate mode. Had she really been in a daze just now? Not even the constant text message alerts had registered with her? Could it be that she was really possessed by a ghost?

  The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with soft music, people chatting in hushed tones, and the faint scent of food.

  "You're a very strange woman." Duan Zhishan smiled warmly, his voice also warm.

  Bai Min slightly raised an eyebrow, his voice momentarily bewildering her. Ordinary as she was, how did she manage to captivate him so?

  "I'm saying that your calmness and composure are something I've never seen before. When you saw me, you showed such tranquility, it made me feel a little disappointed." Duan Zhishan smiled and said, "In that instant, you attracted me."

  Bai Min's face turned red, and this Duan Zhiyuan was too bold in his words. She herself had a calm reaction because her mind was preoccupied with a strange voice, which led him to misunderstand and inexplicably develop feelings for her. Such a diamond-level figure, she really didn't want to provoke, fearing that all the single women in the company were now staring at her intently. She didn't want to get involved in any trouble, and such an emotional man would surely be troublesome to deal with.

  Duan Zhi Shan gazed at the woman with a warm and gentle expression, her clean face adorned with a subtle smile, her demeanor slightly dazed, a deeply reserved woman. Beautiful yet unassuming. Gazing intently, he was enchanted from within. However, her eyes seemed to conceal a multitude of reluctance, unknown for what reason, carrying an inexplicable faint melancholy, which pained his heart.

  "Do you have something on your mind?" Duan Zhishan asked softly.

  Bai Min smiled and said, "No, it's just that these two days I've been especially prone to spacing out, probably because of the high sedative content in my cold medicine."

  "Is it good to discuss business?" Duan Zhishan suddenly smiled and joked, "You accompany me to watch a movie, I'll treat you to dinner."

  Bai Min was taken aback.

  "Hehe, you won't be at a loss." Duan Zhishan was in a good mood. "If you don't agree, I'll have to use my identity as your superior to pressure you."

  Bai Min suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with this kind of white, as if she had also played such a joke on others before?! Her mind suddenly wandered off, and vaguely, it was a blurry face, a seductive and lazy smile, which made her suddenly smile warmly for no reason.

  Duan Zhi Shan was stunned, her smile almost stopping his heartbeat. She smiled so gently and beautifully, as if she were facing a person with whom she had been in love for life and death, trusting, coquettish, infatuated...
