Although he had a girlfriend, Assistant Liuâs face still turned a little red in the presence of such a stunningly beautiful woman.
The next second, he received a warning glance from his boss.
Assistant Liu: "..."
Fang Yuhuan felt displeased.
Listening to Assistant Liu babble on about his concern for Xueli, and noticing the visibly softer look Xueli directed at Liu, Fang Yuhuan couldnât help but wonder.
If he didnât know for sure that Liu couldnât possibly be aware of Xueliâs true identity, he might have jumped up and cursed him for being a scheming flirt.
President Fang felt that Assistant Liu was quite unnecessary here.
He gave Liu a look: "If I remember correctly, you mentioned having a candlelit dinner with your girlfriend tonight."
Assistant Liu paused.
Yes, he was supposed to have a romantic candlelit dinner with his girlfriend tonight, followed by an even more wonderful evening.
But the boss had summoned him with just one call.
Uncertain whether heâd be able to make it back in time, Assistant Liu had already texted his girlfriend to apologize.
She hadnât replied yet, clearly a bit upset.
Upon hearing the bossâs words, a light bulb went off in Liuâs head, and he suddenly understood the bossâs intention.
Since Xueli was fine and the boss had brought such a beautiful woman home, wasnât he just redundant by staying here?
He glanced at his watch. It was four in the afternoon, just enough time.
Feeling invigorated, Assistant Liu said to Fang Yuhuan, "Boss, since Miss Xueli is fine, Iâd feel much more at ease. I still need to go back to the company to sort out some documents, so I wonât stay here longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a look of approval from his boss.
Fang Yuhuan slowly said, "A diligent employee like Assistant Liu should indeed see an increase in his year-end bonus."
Overjoyed, Assistant Liu wasted no more time and immediately got up to take his leave.
Once again, only Gu Shengyin and Fang Yuhuan were left in the room.
Fang Yuhuan leaned forward slightly, staring unblinkingly at Gu Shengyin: "Alright, itâs quiet now without any interruptions. Can you explain to me, Xueli?"
Finally.
Gu Shengyin actually breathed a sigh of relief. If Fang Yuhuan didnât ask, sheâd be worried.
In fact, sheâd been pondering the whole way how to bring it up with Fang Yuhuan since they got in the car.
Along the way, she had made her decision.
Gu Shengyin turned to Fang Yuhuan, just about to speak, when Yuhan beat her to it: "I hope youâll tell me the truth, Xueli."
Gu Shengyin smiled lightly: "I never intended to hide anything from you."
She began to tell her story, how she was a spirit beast, and her earliest memory was when she came to this world, brought back by Fang Yuhuan...
Little by little.
Except for the spirit beastâs ultimate fate, she told Fang Yuhuan everything.
But Fang Yuhuan frowned.
His intuition told him that Xueli hadnât lied to him.
But she was definitely hiding something.
Intuition is such a mysterious thing.
But his intuition related to Xueli had been remarkably accurate, leaving Fang Yuhuan no choice but to believe it.
Looking at Gu Shengyin who sat on the opposite sofa, claiming she had said everything, he firmly said, "Youâre still hiding something from me."
Gu Shengyin: "..."
How did you know!
She hurriedly asked the system if Fang Yuhuan had somehow gained supernatural powers as well.
