He Xu had one hand on the outside of the car and the other holding the steering wheel, driving anxiously through the most congested part of this area.

He finally arrived at his destination and pulled over.

A few days had passed. She’s been pretending to be dead without showing her face to him.

[Go downstairs! Aren’t you feeling unwell and it’s inconvenient to go to work? I’m here to bring you the information.]

Luo Yu: [Why do you have to fight with me? He Xu, if you can’t afford it, just say so!]

In her anger, she called this great Daddy of her company’s Party A by his name.

He Xu: [Stop talking and go downstairs to get the information!]

She said she was sick, so he came over to see if she was really sick or if she was just pretending to be sick.

Five minutes later, Luo Yu replied to him: [“Where are you?”]

[Downstairs of your house!]

[I was just downstairs of my house, no one was there!]

He Xu laughed angrily. Looking at the row of buildings, from beginning to end, there wasn’t even a shadow of her.

[Okay, then I won’t bother you to come down, I’ll send it up to you.]

He got out of the car with the document bag and slammed the door.

He went up the stairs furious all the way, then knocked on the door of 301.

“It’s me!”

The door opened, and He Xu was stunned.

“… President Jiang.”

He was wondering why she didn’t want to go downstairs—it seemed there was another man at her home.

Jiang Shenghe didn’t know when Luo Qi became so familiar with He Xu, so familiar that she could ask He Xu to come to her home—and that was even when he was there.

He welcomed him, “Come in and sit down.”

There was only one pair of men’s slippers at home, so Jiang Shenghe found disposable shoe covers for him, “Let’s make do for now.”

He Xu was neither advancing nor retreating right now. It was unlike him. He has never been passive before.

If Luo Yu slept with someone else other than him over the holidays, he would really strangle her to death.

“President Jiang, why are you here?”

Jiang Shenghe didn’t answer and instead asked, “What’s the reason for you to come here?”

He Xu was confused and said, “I’m just like you.”

Jiang Shenghe: “…”

In his heart, he asked, Can you be like me?

He Xu glanced into the slightly open door of the bedroom, but there was no one there.

“Where is Luo Yu?”

Jiang Shenghe found a cup and poured water for He Xu, “You are her boss. If you don’t even know, then how could I know?”

“No…” Seeing Jiang Shenghe so calm about all this, He Xu couldn’t help but point out, “President Jiang, there are some… You and I may both be victims of Luo Yu paddling in two different boats. You say you don’t know where she is now, then how did you get in? Do you have her house key?”

Forget about worrying about the man’s self-esteem, the last few words felt unspeakably sour in He Xu’s mouth.

Jiang Shenghe frowned and stared up at him, “This is Luo Qi’s house. You are looking in the wrong place.”

He Xu: “…”

He wished he could find a crack in the ground and bury himself in it.

“Sorry, I thought this was Luo Yu’s new rented house.”

That day he went to Luo Yu’s office to find her, she had been on the phone. He didn’t know what big item she had bought, but she was making arrangements with the store to deliver it to Unit 301 of this building at 6 o’clock.

Who would have thought that it was Luo Qi who lived here.

Jiang Shenghe brought him water and said, “You’re already here, drink a glass of water before you leave.”

He Xu didn’t take the glass—he couldn’t stay for a second. “I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m looking for Luo Yu.”

“President Jiang, don’t tell Luo Qi about this. Luo Yu probably doesn’t want more people to know about it. Thank you. Just pretend that I haven’t been here, and I also haven’t seen you here. Let’s be blind about each other’s matters for a while.

“Please excuse me.”

He Xu didn’t even have time to take off his shoe covers and left in a hurry.

He took the stairs two steps at a time. The plastic shoe covers slipped, and he almost fell down. He grabbed the handrail. No one had wiped the handrail of this old apartment in so long, so he ended up grabbing a hand-ful of dust with it.

If he didn’t murder Luo Yu today, it would be hard to calm the grievance in his heart.

Jiang Shenghe closed the door, somewhat understanding the relationship between He Xu and Luo Yu.

Luo Qi came back more than an hour later, carrying two bags of ingredients.

Jiang Shenghe didn’t mention He Xu’s visit. He didn’t know what would happen to He Xu and Luo Yu in the end.

“Does Luo Yu come here often?”

“Hmm, she comes here every week. She has a key to my place. I gave her one when I first rented the house.”

Luo Qi then told him, “Luo Yu’s current lease is due to expire, and her newly rented house is in Unit 302 of this building.”

Jiang Shenghe: “…”

This meant that he would often meet He Xu downstairs in the future.

“When Luo Yu moves here, it would be inconvenient for me to come here,” he said.

Luo Qi nodded. It would indeed be quite inconvenient. It would be difficult to even go on a date.

“Should we meet at our villa later?”

“… Okay.”

She would go to Ruipu when the holidays end. Ruipu’s office was located dozens of kilometers away from the Yuanwei Building. It would be difficult to meet her when she was busy, and she may have to work on weekends.

Jiang Shenghe asked her, “Have you ever thought about moving to the villa? If you don’t wish to live together now, you can choose a different room to stay in.” He could give her a psychological transition period.

It had just been ten days since they received the marriage certificate, and Luo Qi really hadn’t thought much about it.

Jiang Shenghe discussed it with her, “How about staying in the villa on Fridays and weekends, and you can stay here at other times. Or it doesn’t have to be the weekends, the days are up to you.”

If it was the weekend every time, Luo Yu would definitely become suspicious after a while. As for weekdays, it was easier to find an excuse. She could just say that she was on a business trip—business trips for Ruipu were commonplace enough.

The thing was, now that they have already obtained the marriage certificate, it was not realistic not to live together for a long time. Only by living together could they learn to get along.

Luo Qi thought about it, “Let’s try it on Fridays and weekends.”

She didn’t want to live under the same roof as her boss during working days. It would be too stressful, especially when she has just transferred to Ruipu. There would definitely be a lot of difficulties.

Jiang Shenghe let her choose the time, and she decided that it would be the weekend. 

“Then it starts this Friday,” he said.

Luo Qi suddenly thought that today was Friday!

She hung up her coat and walked up to him, “Chief Jiang.”

“Yeah,” he allowed her to call him this more and more, “What’s wrong?”

“Should I just go there next week?”

Jiang Shenghe looked at her, “Is there anything else you need to do tonight?”

“…” Luo Qi paused, “Not really.”

Jiang Shenghe said, “Then go there tonight.”
