“I have.” Gao Ran turned on the computer to get ready for the meeting.

“Chief Gao, I bought an oven and made many cookies. I brought some for everyone. These are for you.”

Chen Yuning lifted the exquisitely wrapped small bag in her hand.

“Oh. Thank you, but no, I don’t like sweet stuff.”

To her surprise, Gao Ran declined without hesitation.

“You can give them to your son…” Chen Yuning smiled sweetly, which would disarm any man, right?

But Gao Ran replied, “No, my wife won’t allow my son to have sweet stuff since it’s not good for his teeth… other than my daughter-in-law, no one can give sweet food to my son.”

“Daughter-in-law…” Chen Yuning was confused since she heard Chief Gao’s son was only a bit over three years old.

“Oh, she’s the daughter of my best friend. We arranged their marriage when they were babies,” Gao Ran explained.

“Oh, I see… Very well.”

Seeing Gao Ran refused to take the cookies, Chen Yuning put down the tea and walked out in disappointment.

Gao Ran continued to prepare for the meeting and was oblivious to the girl’s special attention to him.

Overwhelmed by work, he had never wondered about the girl’s intention at all; besides, it was not unusual for new employees to bring gifts to their colleagues to curry good opinions.

Chen Yuning’s attention for Gao Ran wasn’t obvious to their colleagues since she’d also give gifts to others when she gave something to Gao Ran. In fact, her colleagues liked her and many guys in the bureau were secretly in love with her.

After Zhu Lingling drove her son to the school, she got a call from Huo Mian.

Huo Mian’s chauffeur drove her to Zhu Lingling’s home to pick her up.

“You should have told me the address, so I can go there myself. You shouldn’t have come all the way here…” Zhu Lingling didn’t want Huo Mian, a pregnant woman, to travel around the city.

“I’m fine. I don’t drive the car anyway.” Hou Mian chuckled.

“Oh, you said you’d take me to a place. Where?”

“You’ll know when you get there.”

Huo Mian said mysteriously…

“Did you two have a peaceful night?” Huo Mian asked.

“Not at all. The fellow deserves a beating… Last night he came very late and even expected me to make a meal for him… He thinks I am his maid or something… I taught him a lesson…”

Zhu Lingling told Huo Mian what had happened last night.

“Hahaha…”

“How can you laugh?”

“Lingling, you’re truly a control-freak. Do you think it’s wise to make a big chief wear shoes bought from Taobao, drive a BYD, and smoke seven-yuan-a-pack cigarettes? Won’t people mock him?”

“I don’t care. It’s better to be mocked at than being seduced by the homewrecker.”

“You’re overthinking… It’s not a big deal. When we come back from that place, I’ll explain it to you. Then you’ll understand the whole thing.”

Huo Mian decided to tell Lingling how Gao Ran was the innocent party and about all the tricks that seductive bitch was pulling.

Otherwise, Gao Ran would be the innocent victim who had to suffer his wife’s abuse.

“Fine. I’ll do everything you say. I know you’re super smart, Mian…”

Zhu Lingling was always in a great mood when she was with Huo Mian, and she remembered everything Huo Mian had done for her in the past years. They were the best besties in China.

When they drove past a superstore, Huo Mian asked the chauffeur to stop; she got off the car with Zhu Lingling and bought some expensive food supplements, such as bird’s nest and sea cucumber.

“My Mian, whom are you buying these for?” Zhu Lingling was curious.

“For the homewrecker’s parents,” said Huo Mian calmly.
