In the afternoon, Kang Zhong reported Wang Zhilin’s incident at the hospital to Su Yanyi.
“Make some arrangements and pick a time, tomorrow I’ll go and take a look at her,” Su Yanyi instructed with a menacing glint in her eyes.
Kang Zhong pushed up his glasses and secretly lit a candle for Wang Zhilin. Poor Miss Wang, he hoped she wouldn’t be toyed to death too soon by his boss.
Su Yanyi had to attend a cocktail party, so Qin Jiran was forced to stay with his film crew that evening. He ate a meal comprised of random things from their dinners, causing Guo Zekai to tease him again.
Kang Zhong accompanied Su Yanyi to the cocktail party. Although the two of them usually kept low profiles, their identities made it impossible for them to enter unnoticed. It didn’t take long before they were surrounded by a group of people and pulled into some idle conversation.
Su Yanyi was feeling a bit absentminded, mainly because she was hungry. However, the food at the banquet was obviously not to her taste, and she didn’t have the time to eat anyway. She stood there drinking wine until Kang Zhong came over with a slice of cake.
“President Su, too much alcohol is bad for the body. Have a slice of cake.” As her personal assistant, it was his job to also act as her nanny from time to time.
She didn’t refuse, but after a bite of the delicate-looking cake, she frowned with dissatisfaction. The cake was too sweet and completely unpalatable compared to the ones that Qin Jiran would make.
“Doesn’t taste good,” she said as she set the plate aside.
Kang Zhong peeked at it and couldn’t help but joke, “President Su, it probably doesn’t taste as good as the ones Mr. Qin makes. Would you like me to call Mr. Qin and tell him to prepare something?”
Su Yanyi shot him a glance, at which he immediately coughed and stopped talking. His boss was absolutely terrifying, alright?
However, that didn’t stop him from secretly taking out his phone and sending a message to Qin Jiran: President Su took a bite from a slice of cake and said it tasted too sweet.
Meanwhile, at the filming site…
Qin Jiran was in the middle of filming, so Jiang Xiaobin, who was holding onto his phone, saw the message first. He read over the message a few times before speechlessly shaking his head.
able to bring it up so easily. Oh, and…” She deliberately paused for a moment, and sure enough, Qin Chu couldn’t help but prompt, “And what?”
“And good dogs don’t get in the way of others. But you’re in my way.”
Qin Chu’s face turned white with rage as their audience laughed louder. Su Yanyi also made a point to humiliate Wang Zhirou by completely ignoring her. When she was satisfied, she took Kang Zhong and left.
Kang Zhong drove Su Yanyi home and watched her enter the villa. Before leaving, however, he sent Qin Jiran a message: President Su drank a lot of wine. Tomorrow, I’ll come later than usual to pick her up.
Since it wasn’t his place to tell Qin Jiran about the encounter with Qin Chu and Wang Zhirou at the party, he didn’t mention anything about it.
When Qin Jiran saw the message, the cake was already done. He felt that there was something odd about the message, but he shook it off and went to find Su Yanyi, who had just entered the living room and was resting on the sofa.
She had indeed drunk a quantity of wine. As a result, her face was flushed, and she felt a little dizzy. Qin Jiran put the cake down in front of her and asked worriedly, “Are you okay? Do you want me to go and pour you a glass of honey water?”
She looked up and suddenly whined with teary eyes, ”I’m hungry.”
