"I think you should be fully prepared..."

"Nevermind, just today!" Youyou is a person of action; if she didn’t feel the car was unsuitable, she wouldn’t want to wait.

After dinner, she bought something and followed the BOSS back.

When pressing the elevator floor, she intentionally skipped her own floor, glancing at him and noticing no reaction.

"Actually, President Shen." When the elevator arrived, Gu Ziyou followed him out and started wording her thoughts, "I... ouch."

As she spoke, Shen Lingfeng suddenly stopped.

She ran straight into his back, surprisingly solid.

"President Shen, why did you suddenly stop?" Gu Ziyou rubbed her forehead.

Bumping her head was minor; the main issue was her nervousness being interrupted.

"Does it hurt?"

The staircase was dim, and there was only this unit on this floor. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

His voice was unusually deep and resonant, sounding as though it could stir ripples in her heart.

A hand suddenly appeared on her forehead, gently massaging.

Gu Ziyou looked up, feeling warmth from his hand.

"What did you want to say earlier?"

"I wanted to say... why is your mood suddenly better? Could it be something happy happened?" Gu Ziyou cleared her throat twice, "President Shen, you should open the door first; my head’s fine."

Discuss it at home, not at the doorstep.

Shen Lingfeng turned to open the door.

"President Shen..."

Gu Ziyou found Shen Lingfeng stopped; she hadn’t heard the sound of him turning on the lights, yet the room was bright.

On the sofa in the living room, a tall, beautiful woman held a glass of red wine, with her other arm resting on the sofa back.

"Back at this hour?" The woman on the sofa smiled faintly, raising the wine glass at the doorway, "How come someone’s with you?"

Gu Ziyou felt her mind buzz.

On the coffee table next to the woman were the keys to this place, and the opened bottle of wine was from Shen Lingfeng’s wine cabinet.

"Ayan?" Shen Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised to see her.

Gu Ziyou suddenly felt foolish; evidently, she’s President Shen’s girlfriend!

He must be in a good mood because his girlfriend has returned!

"Yes, I just got off the plane." The woman with the wine stood up, curiously looking at the stunned Gu Ziyou behind Shen Lingfeng, "What a pretty girl you are..."

"President Shen’s assistant." Gu Ziyou quickly explained, "President Shen, since you’re occupied, I’ll leave."

Shen Lingfeng looked at the smiling Lin Yan, calmly saying, "You go ahead, I’ll contact you later."

Gu Ziyou couldn’t describe her feelings; just felt her newly gathered courage doused by a bucket of cold water.

"It’s late, let’s settle it, President Shen, see you tomorrow!"

Lin Yan walked to the door, fingers touching her chin, curiously watching Gu Ziyou’s disappearing figure, "Assistants aren’t usually this temperamental. Shen Lingfeng, is she jealous? Should I explain?"

Shen Lingfeng frowned, "How did you get the keys to my place?"

"This house was bought by Yang Xiao." Lin Yan shrugged, "I thought it was for him and took a set of keys. Later I found out it was bought for you. I couldn’t reach him earlier, so I came over. He should live around here, right? I don’t even know his address."
