Cheng Su had been ill for a few days, but only returned to the company when she was completely recovered, all to be ready to receive a phone call from Qi Taiguo. She stayed by the phone all day, even notifying the restaurant to have him call here if he tried to reach her.
Ying Xiaoya had also returned to work. Seeing her propping up her chin as if trying to stare a hole through the telephone, Cheng Su couldn’t help but laugh.
"I feel like the telephone is now your enemy, the way you’re glaring at it. I even feel sorry for it." Ying Xiaoya laughed, "Are you missing Commander Qi that much?"
Cheng Su felt a bit sheepish and said, "Who misses him? I’m just thinking about things!"
Ying Xiaoya snorted and passed over a thermos, "Here, my mom asked me to give this to you, to help you replenish."
Cheng Su took it and upon opening it, the fragrant smell of chicken soup wafted out. She said, "Please tell auntie not to bother, I can just have the restaurant make it for me."
"This is her way of caring. If I didn’t bring it to you, she would feel bad," Ying Xiaoya explained, "Besides, I wouldn’t dare to upset her."
Feeling resigned, Cheng Su then asked, "How are things going for you?"
Ying Xiaoya’s smiling face suddenly stiffened.
"What’s wrong?" Cheng Su, seeing her expression, asked, "Is there a problem?"
Ying Xiaoya pursed her lips and said, "It’s nothing, just some people with dirty mouths."
Cheng Su’s brow furrowed. It seemed that the stunt Zhang Yujun had pulled that day had been noticed, leading to gossip.
"People will always talk; we can’t control that. When some new big news comes out, your issue will fade away," Cheng Su consoled her.
Ying Xiaoya nodded and then pretended to be relaxed, "No worries, it’s actually better this way. At least my mom won’t be setting me up on dates, and I won’t have to go on any more blind dates!"
Cheng Su could see through her forced smile. How could any girl be indifferent to such a situation? It was her reputation at stake, after all!
"Hmm, you’re still young. It’s better to get married in a few years. Why rush into tying yourself down to a family, bearing children, and taking care of the household? You might not even get a word of thanks," Cheng Su said with a wry smile.
Ying Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, "Look at you, speaking like someone who’s been through it all!"
