The vehicle gradually came to a stop outside the Imperial Private Chamber.
Gu Xingze first settled Yun Shishi in the reception hall before rushing into the VIP lounge.
She decided to wait for him in the hall, but it turned out to be a long wait.
Soon after, Li Lan came in with a briefcase and spied an elegant figure sitting in the corner from her peripheral.
She could not resist taking another peek, only to realize that it was surprisingly Yun Shishi, so she went over to her with a smile.
Yun Shishi, on the sofa, was quietly reading a magazine. From afar, her slim build seemed a little on the thin side, but under the lights, an indescribable tranquility and loveliness radiated off her.
Li Lan was somewhat surprised to see her here.
Once she made it to the sofa, she sighed to herself again, sat down next to her, and nudged her lightly.
Perhaps, her actions were too abrupt, so Yun Shishi, who was focused on her reading, received a lot of shock that her shoulders defensively shrank before her thought process returned.
Looking up, she realized that it was Li Lan, and she felt a little confused.
Li Lan laughed and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Erm…” Yun Shishi glanced at her, somewhat puzzled and a little out of sorts. “Why are you here?”
“I’m just done with work and came over for a meal. You?”
“I…”
Yun Shishi panicked and, for a moment, was in a daze. She looked to the side and gazed in the distance outside the window, only to realize that it was getting dark. She also noted that she was a little hungry due to an empty stomach.
It only came to her then that she had not eaten anything for the entire day.
As she thought of that, her tummy coincidentally let out a painful groan.
She instantly felt embarrassed. When the secretary heard that, she could not help but chortle. “You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s have dinner together.”
She shyly nodded but suddenly gave a start when she recalled something, “Hm? Where’s Mu Yazhe? Is he busy?”
“Most likely… the boss’s schedule is always unpredictable. I’m not too sure about that either.” Li Lan paused for a moment before continuing, “Do you have to meet him for anything?”
All of a sudden, she recalled that, yesterday, the man had left without saying goodbye, and she somehow became a little short-tempered. She shook her head and forced out a smile. “I’m hungry; I need to eat.”
She seemed to be so hungry that, as soon as she said that, her tummy let out a growl.
She hurriedly covered her tummy as awkwardness came to her. Little did she know that Li Lan had acutely captured all this. Grinning, the secretary commented, “Looks like you are really hungry!”
Yun Shishi’s cheeks turned a little rosy.
She could not help feeling quite irritated.
Why was Gu Xingze gone for so long?
She had not eaten anything for an entire day.
The secretary asked with a smile, “What do you want to eat? I’ll take you there.”
She did not forget to add, “Don’t worry. You can eat whatever you like; I’ll definitely make you satisfied!”
The chairman had reminded her again and again to follow whatever this lady wished for all matters, big or small. Naturally, this was a specific request from Mu Yazhe!
Yun Shishi suddenly thought of having Chinese cuisine – something that she had always yearned for. She was usually very busy, so all three meals of the day were prepared by Youyou.
Since he was away from home, she actually missed his cooking; thus, she kept thinking about it. As this came to her mind, she moved her lips to say with greed, “I’d like to have Chinese food!”
Li Lan beamed with joy. Obviously, she could satisfy this small request of hers!
In the end, Yun Shishi sent a message to Gu Xingze before leaving with the secretary.
