Xu Wennuan nodded at the doctor as she said, “Okay.” Her face remained calm and composed, as if she wasn’t a person who was about to undergo surgery. She took the bill from the doctor and went to the first-floor counter to settle it, before beginning a series of examinations.

At 12:00 p.m. sharp, all the test results were ready. With no issues found, they scheduled the surgery for 3:00 p.m.

……

The baby had been due for a vaccination that morning, so by the time Qin Zhi’ai got home with her it was already noon and past lunchtime. She put her down for her afternoon nap until Mother Qin arrived and took her to the Gu Mansion just after two o’clock. It was only then that Qin Zhi’ai changed and drove to the Gu Company.

The receptionist recognized Qin Zhi’ai. She smiled and called out, “Mrs. Gu,” when she saw her approaching, and then she swiftly ran to the elevator to escort her in. The elevator went straight to the top floor, where Qin Zhi’ai emerged in a pair of high heels and headed for Gu Yusheng’s office with ease.

Gu Yusheng must have informed his secretary about her arrival, as she was not surprised to see her. She instantly stopped what she was doing, stood up, and welcomed her. “Mrs. Gu, you’re here.”

Qin Zhi’ai hummed with a smile and looked past Gu Yusheng’s open door. Seeing that there was no one in the office, her gaze then fell on the secretary’s face again as she asked, “Where’s Master Gu?”

“Master Gu is in a meeting. He had informed me that you were coming and instructed me to take you to your office,” said the secretary.

Office? Did Gu Yusheng really arrange a job for me here at the Gu Company?

A smile could be seen in her eyes, as she curled her lips and thanked the secretary.

“You’re welcome, Mrs. Gu. This way please,” replied the secretary politely as she gestured for her to enter the door beside Gu Yusheng’s office. After pushing open the door, what greeted Qin Zhi’ai was a room that was even more luxuriously decorated than Gu Yusheng’s office.

The secretary stood at the door without entering. She caught sight of the surprise in Qin Zhi’ai eyes and started explaining to her with a smile, “Master Gu had some people arrange this for you this morning.”

“Is that so?” Qin Zhi’ai curled her lips at the secretary. Before the latter could respond, she said politely, “Go and get busy if you have something else to attend to.”

“Alright, Mrs. Gu. You can reach me on the line directly if you need anything,” replied the secretary.

“Okay.” Qin Zhi’ai smiled again. She only realized that the secretary had not informed her about her job scope after she had left and shut the door.

Forget it. I’ll just ask Gu Yusheng later…

She leaned against the door and carefully inspected the office that was slightly larger than Gu Yusheng’s office next door. There was a bouquet of her favorite roses on the table and, beside that, a plate full of cherries, a fruit she had especially enjoyed lately. A small box on her desk was filled with a variety of snacks. Most of them were what she ate at home. Even the curtain hanging over the window was one that she had pointed out to Gu Yusheng when they had been furniture shopping not too long ago.

An indescribable warmth filled Qin Zhi’ai, and her smiling eyes grew a little misty.
