After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 102 - : The Boss and the Secretary, a Delicate Relationship

Chapter 102 -102: The Boss and the Secretary, a Delicate Relationship

Ning Yichu’s smile froze on her face.

Although she hadn’t carefully concealed her past, she had thought that her colleagues were unaware.

Yet, he had known all along.

“So that time in the restaurant, did you intentionally ask Shen Jiangqing about his wedding date to embarrass them?”

“Yes,” Mo Baiyou didn’t deny it, a mocking chill flashed in his resolute eyes, “I really can’t stand the behavior of bringing a mistress to provoke the legitimate partner, so I don’t regret impulsively hitting him tonight.”

Ning Yichu didn’t know what to say for a moment; he seemed aloof, but in reality, he was more enthusiastic than anyone. Perhaps even if she had insisted on resigning back then, he wouldn’t have really held her to the breach of contract penalty, would he?

But why was he so kind to her? Just out of sympathy and pity?

There were some things Ning Yichu neither wished to nor dared to think deeply about; she would rather believe that Mo Baiyou appreciated her just for her talent.

She quickly changed the subject and called over the old doctor in the clinic to apply medicine to him.

Mo Baiyou’s gaze followed her retreating figure, not demanding anything more.

Her not questioning his motive for investigating her already signified trust.

While Ning Yichu was away helping the doctor get the medicine, Mo Baiyou made a call to his assistant; his voice was nowhere near the tenderness he had shown towards Ning Yichu.

“Pull up the surveillance footage from Qīngzhōu Xiaozhu tonight. I need to know what happened to Chu Chu!”

The assistant was sharp, having already started the investigation when Ning Yichu took Mo Baiyou to the clinic, and spoke very succinctly, “… Boss, a Mr. Zhang who had too much to drink harassed Lady Ning. She refused him, and the two ended up fighting in the hallway. That’s when her clothes and dress got torn.”

“What’s Mr. Zhang’s background?” Mo Baiyou asked with a cold face.

He wasn’t a client of the company; Ning Yichu had no need to humor him.

“He’s the director in charge of admissions at Saint Peter Kindergarten. Lady Ning was probably looking to enroll her child there. Also, this Mr. Zhang has an older brother who seems to have some clout. If we make a move against him, it might cause trouble.” The assistant was capable and had quickly clarified Mr. Zhang’s social connections.

A cold smirk crossed Mo Baiyou’s lips, “If I’m afraid of offending people and don’t stand up for Chu Chu, how am I any different from Li Lingyang?”

“I understand…” The assistant could envision Mo Baiyou’s fury through the phone, a shiver running down his spine.

The Zhang family was likely in for some misfortune.

Everyone thought Mo Baiyou was mild-mannered, but they never considered if someone truly good-natured could survive the power struggle among the many heirs in Beiji.

…

Ning Yichu stayed with the doctor as he finished applying medicine to Mo Baiyou.

There were several abrasions, and the doctor instructed him not to get them wet and to be careful of infection, insisting on daily dressing changes.

He even mistook Ning Yichu for Mo Baiyou’s girlfriend, instructing her to keep an eye on him.

Ning Yichu felt embarrassed, “Doctor, I’m not his girlfriend; he’s my boss…”

“Oh, the boss, huh~” The old doctor gave a meaningful look at the striking pair in front of him, which was particularly eye-catching, and even said, “These days, the relationship between the boss and the secretary is quite delicate.”

Ning Yichu, “…” Flip the table! She was definitely not a secretary!

Mo Baiyou, on the other hand, burst into laughter and, when settling the bill, swiped an extra thousand yuan, just for that comment.

Leaving the clinic, Ning Yichu couldn’t go straight home looking like this; it would be bad if the child saw her. She at least needed to change into new clothes.

Mo Baiyou was very thoughtful, he had already asked his assistant to bring over a brand-new set of women’s clothing.

Ning Yichu looked at the clothes in the bag, her eyes widening in shock, “For me?”

“There’s a restroom right over there; go change, and I’ll wait for you here,” Mo Baiyou said with a smile, pointing across the way. Her wide-eyed, little-doe look was a bit silly and somewhat cute. If it hadn’t been too early, he really would have liked to pinch her face. It must be as squishy as Ningning’s.

Having no way to refuse such considerate arrangement, Ning Yichu hurried to the restroom to change into the new women’s clothing—a peach-pink dress. She had a delicate frame, and the dress featured a cinched waist design that accentuated her figure attractively.

In his memory, Ning Yichu had never worn such an eye-catching color, but for some reason, he just felt that the dress suited her perfectly.

That’s why, when his assistant sent him a photo earlier, he picked out this dress at a glance.

Now, watching her walk slowly towards him from the mall like she was going to meet her boyfriend in her new outfit, Mo Baiyou couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing him staring at her without blinking, Ning Yichu, who wasn’t embarrassed before, started to feel a little self-conscious, “I haven’t worn such a bright color in a long time. Does it look bad?”

“Who said that? You have a great complexion; anything looks good on you,” Mo Baiyou said with a smile, not skimping on the compliments.

Ning Yichu felt a little less nervous; after all, she was quite good-looking!

“How much is this dress? I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Mo Baiyou knew she wouldn’t casually accept his gift and quoted her a price.

Ning Yichu transferred the money to him, then they parted ways.

When she got home, Ningning, with her keen eyes, immediately noticed that her mother was not wearing the clothes she had on in the morning. The little gossip aficionado inside her blazed to life.

“Mommy, you look so pretty tonight; do you have an important date?”

The little one had pink bubbles of imagination rising in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth still had traces of strawberry icing from sneaking ice cream.

Ning Yichu, amused, wiped off the strawberry icing from her daughter’s mouth.

Only then did Ningning realize she had given herself away. She quickly stuck out her tender little tongue and licked it, pretending to be innocent. “It wasn’t me who ate it; it was my godmother… She ate chocolate and smudged it on my mouth when she kissed me.”

Ning Yichu, “…” Blaming everything on your godmother, isn’t it bad to set her up like that?

But Ning Yichu decided not to argue and instead picked up her little girl, pinched her nose, and sighed, “Mommy has something to discuss with you.”

Ningning heard that her mommy wasn’t going to pursue the snacking and promptly nodded her head eagerly, hoping her mommy would change the subject, “What is it, Mommy?”

“There’s been a little trouble with your transfer to Saint Peter Kindergarten. It might be delayed for a while.”

Ningning blinked her starry eyes, immediately thought of something, “It’s okay, godmother already told me about it. A few days late is just a few days late.”

“Smack,” Ning Yichu kissed her daughter’s forehead, “Trust Mommy, I’ll solve it quickly.”

Ningning snuggled into Ning Yichu’s arms, intending to rub her cheek too, but her sensitive little nose twitched and caught a faint scent of medicine. She then noticed a not-so-obvious scratch on her mommy’s neck, and her little heart sank in an instant!

What happened? Her beloved mommy was injured!

What to do now?

Ning Yichu didn’t notice her little girl’s change in expression, feeling a bit tired, she went to take a shower first.
