Surely, they must think I have ulterior motives towards Chen Kun.
I quickly explained, "I just went to the office next door, not President Chen's office."
Dong Yi responded with an "oh" and turned to leave.
Seeing him enter Chen Kun's office, I hurriedly followed.
As I reached the door, I heard voices coming from inside.
Curiosity drove me back to the door, where I pressed my ear against it to listen.
However, the office was surprisingly quiet.
So, I leaned in closer to hear better.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened a crack, and I stumbled in, landing right in Chen Kun's arms.
Flustered, I looked up and found myself staring into his deep, dark eyes.
"What are you doing?"
His deep, magnetic voice resonated above me.
I awkwardly touched my nose and said, "I didn't bring any tissue."
Dong Yi sat in his office chair, legs crossed, looking at me with a teasing expression.
He pulled out a pack of facial tissues from his drawer and shook it. "Xiao Li, you should be past bedwetting at your age, right?"
"How can you be so careless?"
I quickly snatched the tissues from his hand and dashed out.
I squatted in the bathroom stall for a long time, finally emerging half an hour later.
I messaged Xiao Chu: [I got caught by the boss.]
Xiao Chu: [What happened?]
I told her about the incident.
Xiao Chu: [You're something else.]
Xiao Chu: [Fortunately, the boss is nice; otherwise, you'd be in trouble.]
Xiao Chu: [But be careful lately; I heard there are going to be major personnel changes in the company.]
"Maybe I will get fired."
Upon reading this message, I realized the seriousness of the situation.
What if I really got fired?
I still haven't secured this month's rent.
I hurried back to my workstation and buried myself in work, hoping to escape this crisis.
After work on Friday, I bought some groceries and cooked a few dishes before packing them up. Then, I headed to the best proctology hospital in the city.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I bumped into a familiar figure.
"President Chen?"
"Li Shanshan?"
I was surprised to see Chen Kun here.
It seemed that Chen Kun had already anticipated my arrival.
However, he did not show any signs of surprise.
"What brings you here?"
He glanced at the takeout box in my hand, his gaze somewhat profound.
I nervously tucked the box behind me.
"I'm here to see my mom."
Chen Kun nodded, as if he had known about this all along.
"And you, President Chen?"
"I have a friend in the hospital," he replied casually.
"Oh."
I nodded in response.
For a moment, the atmosphere felt awkward.
It wasn't until the elevator arrived that Chen Kun left.
I watched as the elevator doors slowly closed, a heaviness settling in my heart.
It seemed he already knew my secret.
But we weren't related; even if he knew, it shouldn't matter, right?
I shook my head and took the takeout box as I headed up to the third floor.
As I approached the hospital room, I could hear laughter and cheerful voices.
"Ah! Sister Zhou, you're here to see me again!"
"You just had surgery; isn't it only right for me to check on you?"
"By the way, you have to try the braised pork I made."
"Is it good?"
"It's amazing!"
Pushing open the door to the room, I walked straight in.
On the hospital bed, my mother was chatting happily with Aunt Zhou, who was sitting beside her.
Seeing me come in, my mother’s face lit up with a bright smile.
“Shan Shan, come over and sit down.”
Aunt Zhou waved at me.
“This is the braised pork I made for your mom. You should sit down and try some.”
I sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a piece of braised pork to put in my mouth.
“Is it good?”
Aunt Zhou looked at me with eager anticipation.
“It’s delicious.”
I couldn’t help but compliment her.
Aunt Zhou beamed with joy.
“If you like it, make sure to eat more.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhou.”
Aunt Zhou always praises me for being sensible and beautiful, and for my cooking skills.
