Su Wanqing had kept the little bun at home for three days.
Every day she cooked him porridge—different kinds each time.
Gradually, his complexion finally regained some color. She still didn’t dare let him eat too much.
Although the little bun still looked cold on the surface, he was no longer as resistant to Su Wanqing as before. He even occasionally made small requests of his own.
Even going to kindergarten was something he suggested himself.
Su Wanqing still wasn’t at ease and wanted to ask for a few more days off.
In truth, Shimu also liked his gentle mother very much and wanted to stay with her. But because Su Wanqing stayed home most of the time to accompany him, she still had to handle a lot of work personally. Sometimes she had to run between home and the company. Once, she had just returned home from work and hadn’t even changed her shoes when she received a call and left again.
Shimu felt sorry for her running back and forth like that, but he didn’t know how to say it out loud—so he asked to go back to kindergarten himself.
During these days, Gu Hengzhi had also rarely appeared at home. But since there was never much interaction between them to begin with, Su Wanqing assumed he was on a business trip.
However, the moment he met the female lead was probably not far away.
Gu Hengzhi’s personality was somewhat obsessive and borderline pathological. Su Wanqing couldn’t quite figure out why. If it was simply plot control, it didn’t seem entirely logical—but in novels, falling hopelessly in love after only a few encounters wasn’t uncommon. Otherwise, where would all those “second male lead regrets” come from?
Still… it was strange.
Could it really just be because he was struck by the female lead’s earth-shattering beauty?
Su Wanqing racked her brain but still couldn’t remember how the novel originally described their love line or how everything connected.
..
“Winnie? Winnie?”
“Hmm?” Su Wanqing snapped back to reality and saw Dy standing in front of her.
“What are you thinking about so seriously?”
Dy from the secretary department handed her a document.
Su Wanqing took it. “Nothing. What is it?”
Dy twirled her freshly manicured nails. “This is a document the CEO asked to be printed.”
Clearly, she was expecting Su Wanqing to deliver it.
Su Wanqing pretended not to understand. “Why are you giving it to me?”
In the past, tasks like delivering documents—opportunities for close contact with the CEO—would never fall to anyone else. Even though Su Wanqing hadn’t been coming to the company these past few days, she had still completed her work. However, most of it was received and passed along by Dy, who had been deliberately creating opportunities for her to get close to the CEO.
Dy looked surprised. “You’re really planning to give up on President Li?”
Su Wanqing pushed the document back to her.
“My family and President Li’s family are old friends. Our grandfathers were comrades-in-arms, so we naturally interacted more frequently. But to me, he’s just a slightly closer neighbor-like brother.”
“My previous behavior gave you the wrong impression—and also caused him a lot of trouble. So now I should maintain appropriate professional distance. Do you understand?”
Honestly, Su Wanqing felt a bit guilty.
The original villainess had acted so obsessively that it was almost like harassment. Fortunately, things hadn’t reached an irreparable point. If she had transmigrated just half a month later, the villainess would probably have already tried to literally throw herself onto the male lead’s bed. By then, there would be no explaining anything.
Dy still had many doubts, but fearing Su Wanqing’s temper, she didn’t dare ask further. Seeing that she truly refused to deliver the document, she had no choice but to take it herself—though she was secretly quite happy about it.
Just as she opened the door—
She froze.
A tall figure stood right outside.
“P-President…?”
Dy’s eyes widened in shock.
What kind of new plot twist was this now?
