Seeing Qin Yue making a point of probing why, Su Ni raises her voice, in this way telling him it is none of his business, and just do as is told. Qin Yue takes the hint, and as is expected, he says he will send the clothes over immediately.

“Are you already in such an intimate relationship with your assistant?” As soon as Su Ni turns back, she sees Gu Zechen, who is now dressed in a suit, his hair meticulously combed, glaring at her with a strange smile on his face.

Su Ni quickly reviews his question, trying to figure out how to respond to the question in a correct way. She says coquettishly. “How dare you say that! Who puts me in such a hopeless situation? Who knows I will need my assistant to send me clothes!”

“Do you mean to say that’s all my fault?” He asks with a seemingly unaffected voice.

“No, not really.” Su Ni says in a prudent manner.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“You said it. Then, I’ll wait for your assistant to bring you your clothes.”

When Su Ni hears that, she has a terrible headache. She feels wronged and says. “You don’t need to do that.”

“Huh?” Gu Zechen says with a menacing tone in his voice.

“Alright.” Su Ni gives in. Gu Zechen can be wherever he wants, since she can’t stop him, why bother?

Gu Zechen snorts and quickly stands up.” There’s another party tonight. We are going to show up together.”

“Huh?” Su Ni’s headache is more severe now. The pain is so acute that makes her doubt that perhaps she has not fully recovered from her concussion yet.

In the past, the number of parties she needs to attend generally won’t exceed three times a month, but in the last week alone, she has attended more than three!

“It is just a casual party. No need to dress up.” Gu Zechen explains.

“That’s good.” Su Ni nods and breathes a sigh of relief.

With both hands in his pockets, Gu Zechen smiles and withdraws a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lights a cigarette. Then looking through his narrowed eyes at Su Ni, he seems to be absorbed in something.

It doesn’t take long before they hear the knock on the door. Su Ni didn’t look at Gu Zechen, assuming a calm countenance. When she is about to open the door, Gu Zechen, who is silent all the time suddenly says. “Sit down. I’ll go.”

Before Su Ni reacts, she sees Gu Zechen already walking past her and open the door straight away. In less than three seconds, Gu Zechen slams the door again. Su Ni casts a nervous glance at Gu Zechen, but the latter’s face is expressionless. He doesn’t seem to be angry, so Su Ni says thank you in a low voice.

“Since you are Mrs. Gu now, there’s no need for me to say more about what can be done to avoid suspicion.” Gu Zechen’s attitude is gentle and his tone unchanged, but the impact it makes on Su Ni is huge.

Taking the bag from his hand, Su Ni feels her body stiffen and she nods without knowing it.

“I’ll arrange a female assistant for you tomorrow.” He says.

“No.” Su Ni’s heart trembled, and she blurs out.

Gu Zechen’s countenance changes suddenly. He stares at her gloomily and says. “What?”

“I am quite satisfied with the way it is now, and there’s no need to find another assistant. Besides…”Su Ni is a little embarrassed, her eyes wandering around.

Even if she does need to find an assistant, it will be her decision. Why bother him? Qin Yue is a headache already.

Su Ni begins to change clothes, her back turned to Gu Zechen. He stands up, slowly pacing back and forth behind her, which imakes Su Ni even more nervous.

“I can pay her salary, and besides… if you have any other worries, then there’s no need. Since she is your assistant, you will be her only boss, she will follow only your command.”

Gu Zechen’s words are straightforward, implying that he doesn’t need to spy on Su Ni through an assistant.

Su Ni’s face is red. “That’s not what I meant.” Su Ni eagerly justifies herself, abasing herself before him in an attempt not to leave the impression that in her heart he is nothing but a scheming person.

“If there are no other questions, then do what I say.”

He says and walks up to Su Ni, taking her hand and staring at her ring. “The most important thing for you now is to perform your role as Mrs. Gu. As for other worries, I’ll help you out.”

Although Su Ni is smiling, she looks a bit unnatural and she nods with her head down.

Gu Zechen suddenly kisses her hand and then slowly releases it. “I need to go to my company now to handle business. Do you want me to give you a ride?”

“No. Qin Yue is still waiting for me downstairs.” Su Ni hurriedly says.

When she looks up again, seeing Gu Zechen examining her through his narrowed eyes, she realizes that she sounds a little excited. Her face suddenly reddens slightly, and her eyes dodgy, avoiding eye contact. She bites her red lips and doesn’t speak.

Gu Zechen laughs.

Surprisingly, without complaining nor criticizing her, he just says. “Let’s go.”

Sitting in Qin Yue’s car and seeing Gu Zechen driving away, Su Ni also breathes a sigh of relief.

Qin Yue looks at Su Ni through the rear mirror and says meaningfully.”Our company is now thriving with each passing day, and even our subsidiaries are making great progress too. President, what are we going to do next?”

“Are there any instructions from Mr. Chen?” Su Ni rubs her temples for the back of her head is aching now. Qin Yue smiles.

“Of course, Mr. Chen says as long as you keep the company going, he won’t interfere.” Su Ni doesn’t utter a word.

Mr. Chen is a mysterious person, and even she herself has never seen him in person. Although the company is entrusted to her hands, she knows that this Mr. Chen is controlling everything. Qin Yue is nothing but a puppet with this mysterious Mr Chen pulling the string behind. She is accustomed to this and before she makes every decision, she will ask Mr. Chen’s instructions first. Su Ni smiles with an expression of self-mockery.

“There’s no need to look for a driver now.” Su Ni says.

“I’ve got my hands full looking after a qualified driver, but there really aren’t many who meet your requirements.” Qin Yue frowns and thinks that Su Ni loses her temper thinking he didn’t take it seriously.

Su Ni, however, looks calm and she says. “Gu Zechen has already found a female driver for me. It’s more convenient.”

“It’s Mr. Gu…” Qin Yue frowns and stops talking.

Su Ni looks at him and feels his embarrassment. She continues. “What’s the problem?”

“Nothing.”

Qin Yue says. “Since it’s Mr. Gu’decision, he must want you to be more convenient.”

Remembering Gu Zechen’s sharp eyes cast upon him when he went to the hotel to deliver clothes today, he understands why Gu Zechen found a female assistant.

Sometimes to have a male assistant around is indeed not very convenient.

“Report to Mr Chen about that.” Su Ni closes her eyes. This matter is settled. In front, Qin Yue secretly looks at Su Ni, whose smile fades away and now assuming a calm countenance. Mr. Chen’s goal is to ask Su Ni to maintain the existing intimacy with Gu Zechen as much as possible. Since Gu Zechen is able to find a female driver for Su Ni, Mr. Chen’s goal has been achieved, more or less.

While going downstairs, Su Ni actually thinks a lot. If she is made to choose between Mr Chen and Gu Zechen, she personally prefers the latter, for she has no knowledge of the former. As soon as she arrives at the company, she sees that there are a crowd of people gathering around Gu Lang laughing and talking.

“Gu Lang?” She calls out, barely recognizing the man in front of her.
