“This is?”
Jian Dan looked at the chubby face in the cage. It looked like an old man with wrinkly skin and green eyes. Most importantly, there was not a single hair on its body.
“This is a hairless cat!”
The shop assistant walked over and introduced.
“Hairless cat?”
Oh my god! This was simply tailor-made for her and Uncle! Not only could it satisfy her wish to keep a cat, but Uncle would not be allergic to it.
“How much is this?”
“13,000 yuan”
“So expensive?”
“This is a show grade pedigree. It’s already very cheap.”
“Alright! I’ll take it.”
“It really suits the two of you!”
“Yup! I think so too!”
Jian Dan carried this cute little pet and jumped around joyfully like a child.
Jian Dan accompanied Qianqian to Jihao’s office…
“Why are you here together?”
Jihao asked when he saw Qianqian and Jian Dan.
“Didn’t we agree—a few days ago—to have dinner with Chu Liyuan and Jian Dan today? So, we came over after shopping. Are you ready?”
“Is it today? But 1 have an important meeting later!”
Jihao had obviously forgotten about today’s dinner date.
Just then, a young girl in a tight dress knocked on the door and entered. “Mr.
Ling, the meeting is about to begin.”
“Alright, 1’11 be right there!”
“Sure, Mr. Ling!” The girl left.
“As you can see, 1 really have a very important meeting today. Why don’t we do it another day?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Work is more important!”
It was just a meal; work was more important! Uncle would understand.
But who knew… “We fixed this dinner date a long time ago. Why did you arrange the meeting today?”
Qianqian said angrily.
Jian Dan was puzzled. According to Jian Dan’s understanding of Qianqian, Qianqian was a very understanding and polished woman. Why was she throwing a tantrum over such a small matter like a meal?
“What’s wrong with you? Why have you been throwing tantrums for no reason recently?”
Jihao’s face darkened as well…
“Ever since we returned to the country, you’ve been working every day. You’ve been spending so much time in the office.”
“This is the office. Can you stop being so unreasonable? Can we talk about it at home? Besides, Jian Dan is here.”
Jihao suppressed his anger and said to Qianqian in a low voice.
“Home? Recently, you’ve either been coming home in the middle of the night or not coming home at all. You might as well live in the office.”
Qianqian covered her face and ran out…
Jian Dan immediately went after her…
Jian Dan saw Qianqian squatting beside a big tree by the roadside, crying.
“Qianqian, are you alright?”
“Jian Dan, do you think 1 was too much just now? But 1 just can’t control myself. 1 don’t know what’s wrong with me. Boohoo…”
Jian Dan looked at Qianqian and did not know how to comfort her.
“I’ve been like this recently. I lose my temper easily. Do you think I’m going through menopause?”
“You’re so young. How is that possible?”
“Then why? I’ve never lost my temper with him in public before!”
“Well…”
Jian Dan had realized that from the moment that girl appeared, Qianqian’s emotions had begun to fluctuate.
“Qianqian, is that girl Jihao’s new secretary?”
“Yup!”
“Did your emotions start to become like this after she became Jihao’s secretary?”
Upon hearing Jian Dan’s words, Qianqian realized it belatedly.
Jian Dan knew that this must be the case when she saw Qianqian’s expression.
It was clear now…
After their return, Jihao had been busy with work and did not spend much time with Qianqian. However, this was not the salient point. The salient point was Jihao’s secretary.
From the looks of it, she should be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. As for her looks… She was considered pretty while her figure needed no words. She wore a figure-hugging dress that flaunted her butt and strutted around Jihao—who saw her more than he saw Qianqian—every day. How could Qianqian be indifferent?
Logically speaking, Qianqian should not care about a secretary. However, the crux was that the girl was young, beautiful, and had a hot figure. As for Qianqian… Although Qianqian had taken good care of herself, she was already 42 years old after all. Besides, she stayed at home every day now and did not socialize much! Naturally, her self-esteem would be low….
Therefore, the top priority now was to help Qianqian regain her confidence..
