After a while, a female in black uniform came into the office.
"Boss," The female greeted Jing Mo Chen.
"From today onwards, follow and protect Mo Xi wherever she goes." Jing Mo Chen said as he pointed to Mo Xi.
"Yes, Boss."
"Miss Mo. I am Gu Ran Yi. I will be protecting you from today onwards." Gu Ran Yi said as she bowed to Mo Xi.
"Not Miss Mo, but lady boss," Jing Mo Chen said.
Mo Xi laughed when she heard that, and turned to Gu Ran Yi, "It is just an appellation, just call me whatever you like."
Mo Xi looked into Gu Ran Yi"s eyes and her eyes lit up.
"Yes, lady boss." Gu Ran Yi said sternly.
Mo Xi chuckled and turned to Jing Mo Chen, "We will go somewhere else to talk so that we won"t disturb you."
"You can go to the dining room at this level, no one goes there."
"Okays. Let"s go." Mo Xi said as she walked out with Gu Ran Yi.
"Tell me if you want to eat anything," Jing Mo Chen said before Mo Xi went out.
"How"s your arm?" Mo Xi asked as they walked towards the dining room.
Gu Ran Yi"s hands immediately reached for her wound when she heard what Mo Xi said. Mo Xi fainted that day and she hadn"t shown or told Mo Xi about her injury, so she was puzzled as to how Mo Xi knew about it.
"I have a sensitive nose, I can smell the blood and the medicines."
"Oh… It is fine now."
Mo Xi stopped in her track and turned to face Gu Ran Yi. Mo Xi reached for Gu Ran Yi"s and pulled up her sleeves, then looked at it carefully.
"Alex was the one that I sewed up your wound, right?"
For a second, Gu Ran Yi didn"t know who Mo Xi was referring to, she then remembered the guy that was fighting alongside Mo Xi that day and nodded her head.
"Yes."
"Remember not to move your arm too much. Your wound can open again, and it will be harder to heal then."
"Understood," Gu Ran Yi replied firmly.
"Don"t need to be so uptight, they wouldn"t be back for a while." Mo Xi said while smiling to Gu Ran Yi when they were in the dining room.
Gu Ran Yi looked at Mo Xi questioningly.
"Those people are important people from the criminal group, it will take a few months for them to recover from the damage."
"How did you… Sorry." Gu Ran Yi wanted to ask Mo Xi how she knew but she stopped as she remembered that Mo Xi was the lady boss and she should not question Mo Xi.
"Relax, I don"t bite. I know because I encountered them before." Mo Xi laughed.
Gu Ran Yi smiled slightly when she heard that.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-two."
"We are of the same age… Shall we be friends?" Mo Xi asked as she reached out her hand.
Seeing the sincere look on Mo Xi"s face and looking at Mo Xi"s eyes, Gu Ran Yi shook Mo Xi"s hands instinctively.
"Since we are friends now, can I call you Yi Yi?" Mo Xi asked slightly nervous.
Mo Xi never had a female friend that was about the same age as her, most of the females are either younger or older, so she didn"t know how normal girl-friends interacted.
Gu Ran Yi"s face turned slightly red while she nodded.
When Mo Xi saw Gu Ran Yi nodding, she felt relieved, "You can call me whatever you like."
"Then, I will call you Xi Xi?" Gu Ran Yi asked nervously with her head down.
"Okies."
Gu Ran Yi was very much mind-blown by how she and Mo Xi interacted. She never expected that Mo Xi would be so easy to get along with and in a blur, they became friends.
"What do girl-friends do together usually? I never had a female friend that is my age. I treat the younger ones as children, while the older ones like an elder," Mo Xi asked while placing a hand on her forehead.
"I am not very sure… I don"t have any female friends…"
Mo Xi looked into Gu Ran Yi"s eyes and she could see that there is a lot more to what she said than it appears to.
"Then, let"s do what we want then. You don"t have to be so rigid around me, I am not the lady boss now, I am just your friend," Mo Xi said happily.
Gu Ran Yi let out a sigh of relief while she chuckled, "Ok."
"I heard that besties often go cafés and eat cakes while they talk about life, but I don"t think Mo Chen would allow me to go out of this building and to a mall without him, so let"s have some cake here?"
"Alright," Gu Ran Yi was more opened compared to before.
Mo Xi took out her phone and texted Jing Mo Chen to ask him for cakes.
Minutes later, Jing Mo Chen"s a.s.sistant, Feng Rui, came in with eight slices of cakes and two cups of drinks.
Mo Xi"s eyes went wide when she saw the eight slices of cakes.
"Do I look like a pig?" Mo Xi mumbled.
Feng Rui and Gu Ran Yi laughed when they heard what Mo Xi said.
Feng Rui already knew about Mo Xi being the lady boss, hence he wasn"t surprised when Jing Mo Chen asked him to send the cakes here. Feng Rui exited the room after he placed everything down.
Mo Xi placed the Matcha, Earl Grey Tea, Green Tea, and Strawberry Tea flavored cakes closer to Gu Ran Yi, while she placed the Pink Champagne, Raspberry, Lemon and Pa.s.sion Fruit flavored cakes closer to herself.
Gu Ran Yi was looking at how Mo Xi placed the cakes and her eyes went wide when she saw Mo Xi placing the cup of English Breakfast in front of her.
"Those are what you like right?" Mo Xi asked.
