Coincidentally, Su Yi Mo looked toward Ran Feng Ge at the same time. Ran Feng Ge quickly retracted his eyes, his heart accelerating to the beat of a marching band―Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Traumatized? We were in the wrong then, please don't mind us Qiu Han! We just wanted to give you a surprise!" A young and bubbly girl with her hair in a ponytail clasped her hands together and sincerely apologized, "I'm so sorry!"

Ran Feng Ge racked his brains for information on the girl―Xia Ming, Jing Qiu Han's assistant. She was a cheerful girl, though she was a bit clumsy. She liked gossiping with others, and occasionally caused problems, which were mostly of the harmless sort.

"Xia Xia, thank you. This must have been your idea, right?" Ran Feng Ge responded, demonstrating his versatility to adapt to situations. Luckily, he had previously investigated the people around Jing Qiu Han. Even though it was a quick improvisation, he knew he had done well when he saw the wide smile on Xia Ming's face.

"Ah! Qiu Han, as long as you're not angry at me!" Xia Ming replied excitedly. She then glanced at the iceberg of a president beside Ran Feng Ge and added in a low whisper, "President Su, please don't be angry..."

Su Yi Mo had been silently observing Ran Feng Ge as the body double handled the situation. He was rather impressed with Ran Feng Ge's act; the latter was able to play his role well even when facing a stranger. Ran Feng Ge was truly a professional.

Hearing Xia Ming's apology, Su Yi Mo replied lightly, "No. You can continue your party. I'm leaving first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yi Mo turned towards Ran Feng Ge and very naturally slipped an arm around the latter's shoulders. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Ran Feng Ge's lips. "Take it easy today. Wait for me tonight and we'll go home together."

"...Okay," Ran Feng Ge replied, immersed in his role once again. He reached out and adjusted Su Yi Mo's tie before adding softly, "Don't work too hard as well."

Everyone else in the hall stared at the affectionate couple before them, enchanted by the sight.

When they finally recovered themselves, Su Yi Mo had already turned around and was walking away. One by one, they called out, "See you later, President Su!"

"Qiu Han, come in! Stop looking so reluctant, you'll see each other again tonight!" Xia Ming pushed Ran Feng Ge into the break room, the others trailing behind them.

"Yeah, that's right. Nowadays, is there anyone who doesn't know how madly in love the two of you are?"

"President Su was so cool when he'd admitted to being in a relationship with you at the hospital entrance right after you had been discharged!"

"I envy you, President Su treats you so well. He even halted the filming of Bu Bu Jie Lang for you. Thanks to that, all of us were given paid leave... Hehe, it was all thanks to you!"

"Now that you are back, we can only rest for one more day. President Su has specially informed us that filming will restart tomorrow. Today's the day that we can reorganize ourselves. We'll be going back onsite tomorrow."

While half-listening to the others' conversation, Ran Feng Ge looked around the room. The first things he saw inside were the colorful balloons and streamers. Hanging at the back was a red banner with large gold letters―Welcome Back Qiu Han!

Right in the middle of the room was a huge cake, along with bottles of champagne and bowls of fruit. In the corner stood a sound system, complete with a large TV and microphones. It seemed like they had been preparing for karaoke.
