Xiang Yi Mo followed Executive Assistant Zhang into the elevator. She watched him swipe a card and press the button to the forty-second floor.
Although she wondered why it was so high up, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
As they waited for the elevator to reach the floor, Xiang Yi Mo took out her mobile phone to see if there were any notifications.
After replying to her parents’ questions about how she was doing, her eyes naturally fell on Jing Qian’s name, which still did not have a red dot next to it. Still, Xiang Yi Mo opened it subconsciously.
The chat log showed Jing Qian chatting with her in the morning about some everyday trivial things, such as caring whether she had eaten breakfast. Then, he told her that he had three surgeries to do today.
The message stopped at nine o’clock during the day when Jing Qian said he was going to operate. If he hasn’t sent me a message today…
Xiang Yi Mo glanced at the time.
It is most likely because he hasn’t come out of the operating room yet.
There were only two people in the lift. Executive Assistant Zhang appeared not to be glancing sideways. But in fact, he had been imperceptibly surveying Miss Xiang in the corner of her eyes.
He was worried as he thought about the Chairman’s arrangement.
Is this really not going to go wrong?
After waiting for a while, the lift door opened. Xiang Yi Mo, led by Executive Assistant Zhang, arrived in front of the Chairman’s office.
Xiang Yi Mo: ???
Anyone could see that she was puzzled.
Before Executive Assistant Zhang knocked on the door, Xiang Yi Mo shouted at him, “Executive Assistant Zhang, didn’t you say you would take me to my office?”
Executive Assistant Zhang said seriously, “Yes, Miss.”
“But… look at this!” Xiang Yi Mo pointed to the words “Chairman’s Office” on the door sign.
“Do you think this looks like a place where I should work?”
Executive Assistant Zhang didn’t answer and gave her a sidelong glance.
A glint flashed past his glasses. “Regarding this issue, you will know after you enter and meet the Chairman.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Executive Assistant Zhang knocked twice on the door, pulled down the handle and opened the door. He brought Xiang Yi Mo to Ji Heng Yu.
Executive Assistant Zhang fixed his eyes on Ji Heng Yu’s expression. It is rare to find that the Chairman seems to… be really fine.
Not only was he okay, but the aura surrounding him was also much milder after meeting Miss Xiang.
He observed the two and clicked his tongue inwardly.
Incidentally, he thought about what happened in Shangcheng earlier. Perhaps, Miss Xiang is a unique existence to Chairman Ji.
Executive Assistant Zhang couldn’t help but recall some details of the past.
He accompanied Chairman Ji for so many years. Occasionally, he would attend some events with Chairman Ji and see Miss Xiang at some of these events.
He still remembered the first time he felt that Miss Xiang was amazing because Chairman Ji spared more than a glance at her. After all, Chairman Ji was a person who spared no glances at women. It was very unexpected.
Later, because the two really did not have any encounter, Executive Assistant Zhang gradually forgot about this matter.
At that time, he clearly also carefully probed, “Chairman Ji, is that your acquaintance? Do we need to go up to her and greet her?”
Chairman Ji wore an indifferent expression. “Mm, she’s someone I know. As for greeting her… that is not necessary. She may not want to care too much about me.”
When Ji Heng Yu saw Xiang Yi Mo, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and his phoenix eyes stared straight at the little girl. His faint-coloured lips opened slightly. “You’re here.”
He let out a light sigh, and his tone picked up at the end.
The corners of his mouth were slightly quirked. He stood up and walked like some kind of elegant son of nobility and called Xiang Yi Mo to sit together on the sofa.
There were refreshments that Xiang Yi Mo preferred on the coffee table.
“Mo Mo, Qin Chu should have told you everything, right?” Ji Heng Yu picked up the black tea and took a sip.
Xiang Yi Mo lowered her eyes and held the cup of tea as she nodded her head.
“Is there something you want to ask?” He saw through Xiang Yi Mo’s downcast mood and softened his clean voice, like a spring breeze blowing in slowly as if trying to comfort her.
It was not hard to guess that when the little girl heard about this, she most probably ran to argue with Qin Chu. She isn’t stupid. How can she not understand Qin Chu’s intention of sending her to Ji Company under the pretext of the project?
Xiang Yi Mo lifted her crystal-like eyes to look at the man. Her face was filled with confusion. “Chairman Ji, Executive Assistant Zhang said he wanted to take me to my office and then he brought me here.”
Chairman Ji?
Ji Heng Yu was displeased to hear this.
“Mo Mo is being so distant with me. Do you possibly hate me? I remember you didn’t like to be near me when you were little.”
Ji Heng Yu sounded a little oddly aggrieved and hurt by this.
“No, I don’t hate Chairman Ji!”
“Then why Mo Mo calls ‘Elder Brother Chu’ but calls me ‘Chairman Ji’ instead? You just called me ‘Chairman Ji’ just now, right?”
“I…”
“Mo Mo, you can call me by my first name.”
Xiang Yi Mo pursed her lips under Ji Heng Yu’s faintly expectant gaze.
And because she did not make a sound for a long time, she glimpsed at the stars that were in those beautiful eyes that seemed to be fading away.
Xiang Yi Mo hastily opened her mouth and called him—
“Ji… Heng Yu!”
