Ye Shu walked nervously to his office and watched as the department manager walked over from the general manager’s office.

She was about to step forward to speak when she was stopped by another employee.

“Don’t go over!”

Ye Shu looked at the employee in confusion.

Ye Shu was not familiar with this employee called Sister Cai. They did not even speak much.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Shu asked Sister Cai doubtfully.

“He’s been fired!” Sister Cai pointed her chin at the department manager.

Ye Shu raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the department manager’s office in surprise. “How can that be?”

“Sigh, I heard that he used some underhanded means to start an underground competition. The general manager found out about it.”

Shen Zhu, who was sitting on the other side, also came over to gossip.

“I also heard that he colluded with the other departments to get a lot of kickbacks.”

“We’re doomed!”

“Hey! Stop talking, stop talking! If anyone hears this, they will definitely bear a grudge!”

Sister Cai and Shen Zhu returned to their seats, leaving Ye Shu alone by her desk.

The department manager looked out of the office and met Ye Shu’s gaze.

The next moment, the department manager’s eyes were filled with hatred.

Ye Shu hurriedly sat at her desk, not daring to look inside.

The department manager quickly packed his things and left the company.

When she passed by Ye Shu, she stopped. “Wait for me!”

Ye Shu was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, the department manager had already left with his head held high.

That night, Ye Shu dragged her tired body home. Mu Xiao was already sitting on the sofa with Ye Xun eating watermelon.

“Why did you go out again? Didn’t I tell you to rest at home?”

“Something cropped up at the company…”

“What is it?”

Ye Shu shook her head and did not know where to start.

Mu Xiao did not want to know what happened. She was more curious about what happened to Ye Shu last night.

“How was it? You dressed up so beautifully last night. Did you have any romantic encounters?”

Ye Xun, who was munching on a watermelon, turned around and asked Mu Xiao, “What’s a romantic encounter?”

Mu Xiao thought for a moment and replied, “Let’s say your mother met a handsome guy and something indescribable happened. It’s called a romantic encounter…”

“Don’t be a bad influence!”

Ye Shu slapped Mu Xiao’s back.

Mu Xiao chuckled.

Ye Xun’s interest was piqued. “What’s a handsome guy? Why did Mommy meet a handsome guy?”

“Well… Well…” Mu Xiao seriously considered Ye Xun’s question.

Ye Shu was about to stop her when Mu Xiao said to Ye Shu seriously, “This is a matter of common sense. We have to teach him!”

Ye Shu smiled helplessly and could only allow Mu Xiao to think carefully about how to answer this “common sense question”.

“Handsome guys are probably good-looking guys!”

“Am I good-looking, then?”

“Yes! Xiao Xun is especially good-looking!”

“Am I handsome then?”

“Well… Well… not yet…”

“Why?”

“You’re still a child!”

“Can’t children be handsome?”

“Well…” Mu Xiao frowned and thought for a long time before reluctantly saying,” That works too! “

“Then I’m a handsome man!”

“Yes! Xiao Xun is a handsome man!” Mu Xiao chuckled and hugged Ye Xun.

“So my being with Mommy is a romantic encounter?”

“Huh?”

Mu Xiao was instantly dumbfounded as she looked at the little person in her arms sniggering. She was at a loss.

Ye Shu looked at their funny expressions and finally smiled.

…

It was finally time for Lu Fen to return to China.

“Mommy, are we going to fetch grandma?” Ye Xun put on his sunglasses and stood by the door obediently to put on his shoes.

“Yes! Are you happy?” Ye Shu smiled and gently brushed Ye Xun’s silky hair.

“I’m happy! That way, I can play with grandma! Mommy won’t have to rush home after work!”

“Then we can go for a romantic encounter!”

Ye Shu was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Then, she gently touched Ye Xun’s nose.

“I should never leave you with your godmother for a prolonged period of time.”

Ye Xun chuckled and grabbed Ye Shu’s hand. “Mom, let’s go!”

When they arrived at the airport, they found out that Lu Fen’s flight was late.

Ye Xun was still young and soon felt tired. He fell asleep in Ye Shu’s arms.

Ye Shu sighed. She placed his son’s body on his lap and covered him with his coat.

The wait was always long.

Ye Shu looked around aimlessly, wanting to see if there was anything new that could distract him..
