Ye Qianqian felt embarrassed when she heard that and awkwardly laughed. She waved her hands in an immediate objection and said, “Not at all! Not at all! Would you like to take a shower first? There’s still some hot water left. Bye.”


  With that, she closed the door behind her and turned around to run into the solace of her room. She suddenly remembered her clothes were still hanging on the balcony. She dashed out and gathered them all as quickly as she could.

  Shen Zhilie was in a good mood. He picked a pair of shorts and headed into the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, he realized that the shower gel was of a flower fragrance. After a quick look, he put the bottle down in disdain. He simply rinsed himself with cold water and walked out when he was done.

  He didn’t have a towel to dry his body with. He emerged from the bathroom with his torso out in full glory.

  Ye Qianqian walked out of her room at that precise moment. When she saw Shen Zhilie’s state of undress, she lost her wits and yelled, “Put on some clothes! You can’t be moving around the house like that!”


  Shen Zhilie couldn’t see what the problem was. “The weather is so hot! You can undress too, if you like! I’ll be busy in my room and won’t come out frequently. So, you don’t have to worry.”


  Ye Qianqian was annoyed. After her shower, she rushed back into her room with one hand still busy towel-drying her hair. She found herself still embarrassed by the previous encounter

  Oh f*ck! If this is how it was going to be in the future, how am I going to survive it?

  Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou hadn’t had dinner. Naturally, later in the night, the both of them headed out for some food. He checked the time and realized it was pretty late. Seeing that there weren’t many eateries nearby and his kitchen wasn’t stocked with groceries, they had no choice but to drive out into the city.

  Ye Youyou’s body was aching. After ordering a few random dishes, she just sat still.

  What she never expected while out for a late-night supper was to bump into someone familiar from the past. In Ye Youyou’s department was a certain Miss Qiu, who was extremely gossipy. Everyone nicknamed her Gossip Queen Qiu behind her back.

  This Gossip Queen had gotten into a conflict with Ye Youyou and another colleague by the name of Xiao Yu. Later on, Li Jinnan had moved Ye Youyou away, and the conflict was left unresolved.

  It was clear that the Gossip Queen hadn’t expected to meet Ye Youyou either. Furthermore, she hadn’t expected to meet an even more important person—Li Jinnan.

  When she noticed them, the Gossip Queen rushed up in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, “GM Li?”


  When Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou heard that, both of them turn around simultaneously.

  When Miss Qiu saw that it was really them, she became very excited and said, “Long time no see! Are you here for supper? I’m here with a few colleagues for supper too. Are the two of you seeing each other now?”


  Ye Youyou didn’t feel like interacting with this person. She glanced at her and lowered her head to take a sip of tea instead.

  Li Jinnan wasn’t that sort of a person. He looked at her and asked, “You are?”


  Ye Youyou almost spat her tea out. She was unspeakably satisfied with his reaction.

  The Gossip Queen was in an awkward position for a moment. She giggled hesitantly and said, “GM Li, you’re really good at joking. I’m Xiao Qiu from the Admin Department. He he he……”


  Li Jinnan nodded his head when he heard that and replied, “Hello.”


  Things became awkward for the Gossip Queen. She gave an uncomfortable laugh and said, “I won’t disturb you then. Ha ha. I’ll get going.”


  Li Jinnan bowed his head slightly and said, “Take care.”


  The expression on the Gossip Queen’s face turned a little unpleasant, but she had no choice but to slink off disgruntledly.

  When she returned to her group of friends, she exclaimed, “Do you know who I just saw? D*mn, this is so exciting!”
