Xi ng was stunned, but Qiao Yi went over to knock on Mu Yichen’s office door and then pushed it open himself.
"My wife’s first day back at work, don’t give her too much to do."
As soon as he entered, Qiao Yi expressed concern for his wife.
"When have I ever given your wife things to do? It’s always been her giving a ton of things to do, right?"
Mu Yichen frowned, looking at the huge pile of docunts on his desk. On Xi ng’s first day back, she’d already organized so much for him to sign.
Qiao Yi looked at the stack of files on the desk and couldn’t help but feel sorry for his wife. No wonder she hadn’t settled down at ho these days; she had already returned to work a while ago.
"Boss, the front desk called to say that a Miss Wu wants to see you!"
Qiao Yi had just pulled out a chair to sit down when he heard the intercom. Xi ng was saying sothing about Miss Wu to Mu Yichen.
"Tell them I’m busy! And ban this woman from entering the office building in the future!"
Mu Yichen’s brows were slightly lowered, and his face showed no emotion as he said this.
Qiao Yi glanced at Mu Yichen’s serious expression and unconsciously furrowed his brows too.
"Is it Wu Jiaojiao? Why is this woman still looking for you?"
"How would I know? Let’s talk business first. Did you prepare everything I asked for?"
"Yeah! It’s all here. You read it first, then I’ll talk."
Qiao Yi pushed the docunts he had just placed on the edge of the desk towards Mu Yichen, then leaned back in his chair, waiting for Mu Yichen to finish.
But unexpectedly, the two of them were busy until nearly noon. Xi ng happened to be going downstairs for so errands and saw Wu Jiaojiao still waiting in the outdoor parking lot in front of the office building.
Wu Jiaojiao was driving a red little car, which was quite conspicuous. However, Xi ng didn’t find Wu Jiaojiao very striking. Although her makeup was well done, her face was rather ordinary.
But when Wu Jiaojiao saw her, she couldn’t help but walk over.
The public vehicle of the office building had just arrived nearby. Xi ng was about to get on when Wu Jiaojiao quickened her steps, chasing after her in high heels, "Is that Secretary Xi? We’ve t a few tis before."
Wu Jiaojiao slowed down slightly only when she saw Xi ng stop and look back at her, then steadily walked up to her.
"Hello!"
Xi ng greeted her perfunctorily.
"Hello! Nice to et you. I heard you went ho to have a baby. Congratulations!"
Wu Jiaojiao smiled as she spoke to her.
"Thank you! But I’m on business duty now. If Miss Wu has nothing else, I’ll be going."
"Can you give five minutes? It’s too hot outside. How about we chat in the car?"
Wu Jiaojiao thought for a mont. Her car was not far away and wanted to invite Xi ng into her car to chat.
"Then let’s take our office building’s car. The air conditioning in there is quite good too.
"Is that appropriate?"
Wu Jiaojiao glanced ahead, seeing a reasonably clean-looking male driver inside, roughly thirty years old.
"If Miss Wu has any concerns, we can schedule another ti!"
Xi ng thought to herself, do I have to accommodate you?
"Okay! Please!"
Wu Jiaojiao was afraid this might be a rare opportunity, so she quickly followed her in.
Nearly ten minutes later, Wu Jiaojiao finally got out of the car, standing by as she watched Xi ng leave by car.
Wu Jiaojiao seed like one who could endure a lot, and soone who knew how to swallow grievances.
On the way, Xi ng heard the driver in the front say, "Secretary Xi, this Miss Wu has a really deep mind!"
"You can tell?"
"Having gone out with you on business so many tis, I’ve picked up a thing or two!"
"Stop being cheeky and drive properly!"
Xi ng chuckled and then pretended to say seriously.
"Yes! But there are indeed a lot of won who want to beco our boss’s wife. Even if he’s a married man, they can’t see we middle-aged bachelors? Sure, we have less money, but our morals are good!"
The driver kept grumbling the whole way, while Xi ng laughed all the way. After returning to work, Xi ng was rejuvenated, and found everything delightful, not even being irritated by the small episode with Wu Jiaojiao.
After Wu Jiaojiao left Mu Yichen’s office building, she went straight to AM to have lunch with Lu Fei.
Lu Fei had been behaving very well lately, but Wu Jiaojiao felt a bit restless.
Lu Fei still kept her makeup on when going out. It seed like a habit—no matter how bad her mood was before going out, she’d look her best.
Wu Jiaojiao arrived early and chose a seat by the window. Last ti, they couldn’t sit there. She had planned what to say to Lu Fei, but seeing Lu Fei looking even more striking than herself, she suddenly changed her mind.
