414 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
# Chapter 414: Little Missy? (Fifth update) "Wang Yun, is there anything I should be aware of?" Xiao Xiao was sitting nervously in the passenger seat, fidgeting with her blue dress as she spoke hesitantly. Wang Yun glanced over at her, finding Xiao Xiao's timid demeanor amusing. The young girl was far too apprehensive. She had even chosen her outfit specifically for Xiao Xiao today. Typical office attire could be somewhat off-putting, so she opted for something more approachable. To ease Xiao Xiao's tension, Wang Yun playfully suggested, "Hmm, how about you pretend to be my pillow at the office later? What do you think?" Hearing Wang Yun's words, Xiao Xiao was momentarily stunned. She looked at Wang Yun driving, then glanced back at her beloved Su sister. After two seconds of contemplation, she adopted a determined stance and nodded her little head. Wang Yun hadn't expected her joke to be taken seriously by the young girl. The nod of her head, coupled with such a cute expression and movement, was incredibly endearing. Indeed, Xiao Xiao's adorable gestures and demeanor significantly increased Wang Yun's fondness for her. They had left early today, missing the morning rush in Su City, and the roads were comfortably clear. The car arrived at Tianyu Tower just in time for eight o'clock. Holding her "little husband" in one hand and her sister in the other, Wang Yun led the two lovely ladies to the elevator, savoring the soft, delicate touch of their hands. The feeling of having them on either side was quite pleasing. Due to Tianyu Tower's proximity to the civic center, while some companies occasionally require overtime, they are fairly strict with office hours. Most operate from eight to five or nine to six, though employers often choose the latter for higher efficiency. As it happened, the elevator was nearly empty today, occupied only by the three of them. This allowed the shy Xiao Xiao to breathe a sigh of relief. When the elevator quickly reached the 14th floor and Wang Yun stepped out, she was surprised to see the office doors already open. It was only eight o'clock, an hour before official work hours. After Wang Yun and Su Qi clocked in at the front desk using DingTalk, the door to Director Yang's office swung open, and a woman from the logistics department emerged. The woman's expression betrayed a moment of panic upon seeing Wang Yun, but she soon regained her composure and greeted, "Good morning, Director Wang." Wang Yun gave a thoughtful glance at the director's office before smiling warmly, "Xiao Liu, you're quite early." After exchanging greetings, Wang Yun led Su Qi and Xiao Xiao into her own office. This was Su Qi's first encounter with such workplace drama, reminding her of when Director Yang had tried to shake her hand the previous morning. The recollection left her unnerved. Could that man have had ulterior motives? Observing the large, innocent eyes of her oblivious "little wife," Su Qi decided against mentioning it, fearing it might soil the young girl’s innocent thoughts. Then she glanced toward her wife Wang Yun, anticipating an unusual expression on her face. But Wang Yun was as composed as ever, seemingly unfazed by the morning's events. Indeed, Wang Yun, as an adult, had witnessed numerous such workplace encounters. After all, Xiao Liu and Director Yang appeared to be serving their mutual interests. As a director, Wang Yun had vaguely noticed Xiao Liu's rapidly advancing career within the human resources department. Now, the reason was clear. If the company’s long-term interests were in mind, Wang Yun ought to report the situation. Xiao Liu's promotion was certainly unfair to other employees within the department. However, at Su City’s Compass Investment Company, her superior shared the same surname as Director Yang. She presumed this would result in merely dismissive repercussions: Xiao Liu being terminated, while Director Yang would make a superficial apology. To offend Xiao Liu with no tangible benefit to herself was not something Wang Yun, a seasoned adult, would consider worthwhile. Seeing her husband's questioning gaze, Wang Yun smiled and motioned for silence. She picked up three exquisite white ceramic cups and said, "Little assistant and little little assistant, let big sister take you to work!" Handing the cups to them, Wang Yun led them to the break room. By now, it was already half-past eight, and more people had begun to arrive. Since Compass occupied the entire 14th floor, everyone recognized Director Wang Yun, greeting her warmly as she prepared her coffee. Though it was Su Qi’s first day as director’s assistant, her stunning appearance at yesterday's morning meeting had already left a strong impression, earning her a cordial reception from the staff. As everyone chatted casually over coffee, Su Qi finally felt the office environment was straight out of a TV drama. Shy Xiao Xiao tried to remain hidden behind Wang Yun but was soon noticed! "Director Wang, is this your sister? She's adorable! Is she in middle school?" asked Wang Kai, an employee standing by. This wasn’t meant critically, because many Compass employees had families and often brought their kids to the office when necessary, as long as they weren't disruptive. Even Wang Kai occasionally did so when his wife was visiting her parents. Hearing Xiao Xiao, who was in college, referred to as a middle schooler made Wang Yun chuckle. Just as she was about to ask how he could tell she was in middle school, Wang Yun noticed something. The young girl hiding behind her in such a reliant manner did indeed seem the height of Wang Kai’s middle school daughter. Coupled with her youthful face and the blue dress that resembled a child’s outfit, it wasn't entirely off the mark. Quickly, Wang Yun realized another critical point. According to her dear little husband, she'd made a move. Observing the adorable young girl hiding behind her, Wang Yun gazed at her husband, who was caught up in conversation with others about the stock market. She resolved to thoroughly interrogate her. How could she have taken action? It's not permissible! Introverted Xiao Xiao was slightly indignant about being mistaken for a middle schooler, but when she saw everyone's eyes on her, she shyly ducked behind Wang Yun again. As to why she didn’t seek refuge with her “Su sister,” today she was playing the role of Wang Yun's little sister and couldn’t reveal herself. Many female employees found the little girl’s bashfulness utterly adorable. Women, inherently affectionate, often doted on pretty little girls, especially those who stirred a strong protective instinct. This made them increasingly fond of Xiao Xiao. After sipping a cup of milk tea and returning to Wang Yun's office, Xiao Xiao gladly found she'd received a large bag of snacks. Relishing her spoils, just as Xiao Xiao was about to tally her new goodies, Wang Yun asked brightly: "Little sister Xiao, what year were you born?" "April 25th, 20xx, Sister Wang Yun!" Wang Yun mentally calculated her age and breathed a sigh of relief—thank goodness she was of age! Otherwise, she would have given her dear little husband a crash course in criminal law, plus an additional lecture on it! As Su Qi sipped her milk tea, hearing Xiao Xiao's birthdate almost made her choke. She hadn't realized she was two months younger than this delicate girl. Turns out, she was actually the youngest! Would she have to call this sweet girl "little missy" from now on? No way, absolutely not, she had to be the big sister!
