chapter 2

So he sent the girl he cherished most abroad.

At the same time, he began having affairs to divert my attention.

Over the past two years, he has flown abroad countless times to see her.

He raised her to be increasingly pampered, and she became increasingly bold.

She even started to provoke me.

Today is my birthday.

She sent me a message:

[Happy birthday, Little Auntie.]

[But I feel unwell, I’m uncomfortable. I want Little Uncle to come and stay with me.]

[Guess who he’ll choose-you or me?]

Today is my birthday.

Qi Sinian said he was going abroad.

“I’ll make it up to you once I’m done with work. What gift do you want? I’ll bring it back for you.”

Qi Sinian had hired a new assistant.

She was a fiery character, bright and enchanting.

She walked in on high heels, not even bothering to knock, entering the code to let herself in.

Her gaze swept over me, filled with contempt and disdain.

“Hello, Madam. I’m here to pack President Qi’s luggage.”

Without waiting for my answer, she continued walking forward.

But as she passed me, her eyes darted around, and she paused.

“Madam, could you go upstairs for me?”

“Just grab the third and fifth outfits from the middle cabinet.”

“As for the underwear, take the new ones I bought. They’re in the second drawer. You should be able to find them, right, Madam?”

She smiled slightly, bending down to rub her knees.

“I didn’t want to trouble you, Madam.”

“But President Qi is so wicked. He made me kneel all night; my knees are still swollen even now.”

I listened quietly, holding a bright rose in my hand.

The sharp scissors snipped through the stems.

I had trimmed too much; it looked ugly now, devoid of any beauty.

I sighed with regret and tossed the flowers into the trash.

I put down the scissors.

I gave her a soft, gentle smile.

“Qi Sinian said there’s another contract he needs to take with him. I’m not sure which one it is. Can you come with me to get it?”

My reaction made her frown, her face full of displeasure.

I lowered my head.

“Forget it. You probably don’t know either. I’ll just call Qi Sinian.”

“How could I not know? I handle all of President Qi’s affairs.” She lifted her chin. “Lead the way.”

“Alright.”

I led her forward, turned a corner, and went down to the basement level.

“Where is this? What is this place? Why would the contract be here?”

“This is a secret room for developing film. Qi Sinian brought the contract in here a couple of days ago. It’s on that table over there. Take a look.”

The woman walked in, completely off guard.

“Where’s the light…”

Before she could finish, I watched her back coldly and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

“What are you doing? Ning Yan, what are you doing? Let me out!”

My tone was flat, my voice indifferent.

“Since you’ve been working so hard, take a couple of days off. You won’t be seeing anyone for the next two days.”
