Surely, they must think I have ulterior motives regarding Chen Kun.
I quickly explained, "I just went to the office next door, not President Chen's office."
Dong Yi let out 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.
Driven by curiosity, I returned to the door and leaned in to listen.
However, the office was surprisingly quiet.
So, I pressed my ear against the door, straining to hear.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened a crack, and I stumbled in, landing right in Chen Kun's arms.
I looked up in a panic and met his 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, saying, "Xiao Li, you should be past wetting the bed at your age, right?"
"How can you be so careless?"
I quickly snatched the tissues from his hand and dashed out like the wind.
I squatted in the bathroom stall for a long time, only emerging half an hour later.
I sent a message to Xiao Chu: [I got caught by the boss.]
Xiao Chu: [What happened?]
I told her about what had just occurred.
Xiao Chu: [You're something else.]
Xiao Chu: [Luckily 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 did get fired?
I still hadn'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, cooked a few dishes, and packed them up before heading to the best proctology hospital in the city.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I ran into a familiar figure.
"President Chen?"
"Li Shanshan?"
I was surprised to see Chen Kun here.
It seemed that he already knew I would come.
But he didn't 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 already known about this.
"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 a bit awkward.
It wasn't until the elevator arrived that Chen Kun turned to leave.
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 carried the takeout box up to the third floor.
As I reached the door of the ward, I heard a burst of laughter and cheerful voices.
"Ah! Sister Zhou, you came 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 ward door, 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 mother. You should sit down and give it a try.”
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.
