“Brother Yu?” A chill ran down Gao Xiaoxiao’s spine. She felt goosebumps rising.

She closed her eyes and bit her tongue as she replied, “I’m sorry, CEO Yu. I’m very busy now.”

Yu Yuting chuckled inwardly at her seriousness. He was about to tease her when the door to the CEO’s office opened.
Half of Han Zhen’s tall physique was visible. He frowned slightly and asked, “Why haven’t you left?”

Yu Yuting was speechless

‘When Yu Yuting finally left reluctantly, Han Zhen asked formally, “Secretary Zhou, is the schedule for today ready?”
“Young Master Han, Xiaoxiao is already doing it. She’ll be done soon.”

Han Zhen nodded in satisfaction. “Report to me after you’re done.”

Ten minutes later, Gao Xiaoxiao stepped into the CEO’s office again. She could smell cigarette smoke.

She frowned inwardly and held her tablet as she reported, “Young Master Han, your schedule today is ready. There are three appointments. At 12:00 noon: Having lunch at Jinsheng with Chairman Wang from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. At 2:00 pm: Discussing a proposal with the Spring Orchid
Corporation’s representative. The related email has been sent. At 6:00 pm: Dinner with Gu Liging from Gu Corporation. The seats have been reserved for you…”

“Gu Liqing?” Han Zhen looked up and frowned.

“Yes, Young Master Han.” Gao Xiaoxiao tried her best to maintain the calmness on her face.

God knew that her palms were sweating nervously.

His slender index finger tapped on the table subconsciously. After a long while, Han Zhen said calmly, “Okay.”

Gao Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief. “… Young Master Han, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”

Han Zhen nodded.

Gao Xiaoxiao turned around and walked towards the door. She had just placed her hand on the doorknob when Han Zhen’s voice sounded behind her. “Secretary Zhou can accompany me to the lunch appointment at noon. You stay in the office.”
“… Okay.” Gao Xiaoxiao was more than willing to oblige.

As she returned to the secretary’s office in high spirits, the whispering crowd suddenly fell silent. All of them had unnatural expressions.

Needless to say, people would definitely gossip about her sudden promotion and raise.

However, Gao Xiaoxiao had accepted that on account of the money. As long as they did not play dirty tricks, they could say whatever they wanted.

At the Gu residence.

After receiving Secretary Zhou’s call, Gu Liging was overjoyed. She stopped working and drove straight home.

As the servant helped her get her slippers, she said, “Miss, Sir and Madam said that they won’t be coming back for dinner tonight. They want you to go to school to pick up Little Master.”
Gu Liging changed her shoes and walked upstairs without looking back. “I’m not his nanny. Get the chauffeur to pick him up. I’m not free!”

“Okay.”

An hour later, Gu Liqing changed into a seductive yellow dress, put on exquisite makeup, and went downstairs.

In the living room, Old Master Gu, who had just come home, called out to her, “Why are you running out again after getting home? Where are you going?”

Gu Liging smiled and said, “It’s a date.”

“Date?” Old Master Gu’s eyes lit up. “You have a boyfriend?”

“Oh, Grandpa, today is only our first date, although… he will be my boyfriend soon,” Gu Liging said coyly.

“Which family’s young man is this? Tell me quickly.” Old Master Gu was overjoyed.

As he got older, he was most concerned about the children’s marriage, especially this eldest granddaughter. She was 27 this year and he dreamed of her getting married every day.
Gu Liging said coyly, “It’s Han Zhen.”

“Han Zhen?” Old Master Gu frowned. “No!”

“Why not?” Gu Liging shouted in surprise.

“Your uncle is dating his sister now. Why are you getting involved? The seniority in the household will be messed up in the future!” Old Master Gu said angrily.

Gu Liging scoffed. “Grandpa, aren’t your thoughts too conservative? What era is it now…”

“Not okay in any era! Break up with that Han Zhen quickly!” Old Master Gu interrupted her.

Gu Liging rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to!”

“You…”

“Grandpa, I’m different from Little Uncle. Don’t try to control me on the account of the Gu family. Besides, you could marry Little Mom, so why can’t I be with Han Zhen? So you’d better wish me success tonight. Bye!” With that, Gu Liging left in her high heels.
Old Master Gu held his chest and was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

He wondered what sins he had committed and why he did not derive any comfort from the children.

At Han Tai Corporation.

It was 5:00 pm at last. Gao Xiaoxiao stood up quickly, turned off her computer, grabbed her bag, and left.

‘As soon as she walked out of the secretary’s office, the door to the CEO’s office opened. Han Zhen walked out gracefully with his car keys. “Are you going to the train station? I’ll give you a ride.”

“Uh, no need, Young Master Han. I can take a taxi there myself.” Gao Xiaoxiao refused his offer. She still had to pick up Xiaobai.

“It’s alright. I’m going on a date. I’ll give you a ride on the way.” Han Zhen curled his thin lips, looking thoughtful.

Gao Xiaoxiao rejected him again with a fake smile. “There’s really no need, Young Master Han. Dating is more important. Don’t let your girlfriend wait too long…”
Before she could finish speaking, the pink backpack slipped from her grip into Han Zhen’s hand.

“You talk too much.” Han Zhen scoffed as he walked towards the elevator.

Gao Xiaoxiao glared at his upright back and had no choice but to follow him.

Secretary Zhou, who happened to step out of the pantry, witnessed this scene and frowned.

Awhite Bentley sped towards the train station.

‘The song ‘See You Again’ from the movie ‘Fast and Furious’ was playing in the car and Han Zhen seemed to be in a good mood. He even hummed along from time to time.

However, Gao Xiaoxiao was not in a good mood.

She had bought the 7:00 pm train tickets. She had planned to get off work at five o’clock and pick up Xiaobai at the kindergarten before setting off for the train station. There should have been plenty of time.
However, with the involvement of this person, her plans were all messed up. It was still rush hour.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon.” Han Zhen turned to look at her.

Gao Xiaoxiao smiled. She grabbed her bag and frowned as she looked out the car window.

After a while, the phone in her bag rang. Gao Xiaoxiao took it out and glanced at it. “Uh, ‘Precious Son’ is calling!” she thought in a panic.

Han Zhen reached out to turn the music down, but she did not answer the phone for a long time.. He asked, “Why don’t you answer?”
