“Lass Anning, have you gotten off work?” Jiang Peihua asked in a jovial tone.
Luo Anning was rather taken aback. Throughout her marriage with Rong Yan, Jiang Peihua had never called her first.
After recovering from the shock, she got a grip on her emotions, she smiled and asked, “Mother, I’m just about finished. What’s the matter? Did something happen?”
“Well, your Grandpa keeps nagging about you guys so he wants you and the rascal to come home for dinner tonight. We called the rascal and he said that he’s still in a meeting so I called you instead.”
“Alright, got it. Once he’s done with the meeting, we’ll go back to Old Mr. Rong’s place for dinner.”
“Sure, I’ll get the servants to cook your favorite dishes. Alright, that’s all for now. I’ll hand the instructions to the head cook.”
“Alright, see you later, Mother.”
“See you later.”
After hanging up, Luo Anning thought to herself in bewilderment, didn’t we just eat at Old Mr. Rong’s place not too long ago?
What is Old Mr. Rong getting up to again this time?
Surely he can’t be… urging us to give birth again?
The thought of it made Luo Anning shiver and get the goosebumps.
She put her mobile phone away, organized the things on the table and waited for Rong Yan to finish so that they could return to the mansion together.
As soon as she reached the CEO’s office, she saw that the secretary was answering calls and speaking impatiently.
Luo Anning initially wanted to ask about what happened but after giving it some thought, she decided not to and instead nodded before walking towards the CEO’s office.
The secretary nodded and smiled apologetically before frowning again and speaking into the phone, “I’m telling you one last time, Mr. CEO won’t just see anyone. Next time, please do not call the Secretary’s office if you don’t have an appointment. Secretaries are busier than you think and we don’t have time to entertain women like you who resort to all sorts of tricks to see the CEO!”
The Head Secretary then slammed down the phone to end the call.
Luo Anning could guess from the Secretary’s words that someone was probably waiting at the lobby of the office and asking to see Rong Yan, but was stopped by the receptionist.
Thinking that it was boring to wait for Rong Yan in the office anyway, she took a few steps back and leaned against the secretary’s table sluggishly. She asked in a gossipy manner, “What’s wrong, Secretary Feng? Who has incurred your wrath?”
Although the secretaries in the Secretary’s Office were all females, they would hand all the necessary documents to Xu Zhiyuan who would then pass them over to Rong Yan.
Due to the fact that Rong Yan was a clean freak, he would never allow women to get close to him. However, there was no need to doubt the capabilities of the female secretaries at all. Hence, Xu Zhiyuan was treated as a versatile assistant.
The secretary smiled a little apologetically, and pressed a hand on her aching forehead. “Young Madam, you have no idea how thick-skinned some women can be. Everyone knows how fastidious Young Master Rong is about cleanliness and does not allow women to be close to him. Yet, some women are bent on throwing themselves at him, like this one who’s throwing a tantrum downstairs and asking to see Mr. CEO. She even lied about being his ex-girlfriend… blablablabla… ”
Seeing that there was someone whom she could confide in, the secretary immediately rattled on and on, regardless of the fact that she was speaking to the CEO’s wife. She did not worry about being negligent or rude either and said all the words that she wanted to from the bottom of her heart.
As soon as Luo Anning finished hearing her complaints, her smile stiffened and she asked with a frown, “Is ‘Mo’ the surname of that woman downstairs?”
The secretary stared at her in awe and exclaimed, “Young Madam, you’re really brilliant! You actually guessed it without me telling you!”
It was not that Luo Anning was brilliant but rather, it was because Mo Xiyan was Rong Yan’s only former girlfriend!
