Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Watching Gu Hanchen on a Blind Date with Another Girl
Liang Suisui, upon hearing Gu Hanchen’s words, scoffed, “Sorry, I already have a boyfriend.”
Gu Hanchen asked, “Who? I didn’t see any official announcent.”
Zhong Xiaoyi also looked towards Liang Suisui.
Liang Suisui smiled and said, “I’m not a celebrity; why would I make an official announcent? My boyfriend is Ye Huan, Huo Shiyuan’s assistant.”
Gu Hanchen sneered, “Don’t you think it’s odd to be dating your best friend’s husband’s assistant?”
Liang Suisui said, “What’s so odd about it? Ye Huan graduated from a prestigious school, earns a lot more than I do in a year, and has both a house and a car in City A. You shouldn’t judge soone by their profession!”
Gu Hanchen said, “Well, I would never date my brother’s wife’s secretary.”
Liang Suisui replied, “You think you’re so noble. You seem to be recovering well; I’m relieved. I’ll leave now and visit you again next ti.”
After Liang Suisui left, Zhong Xiaoyi started unpacking the parcel sent by Gu Hanchen, only to find a lively, adorable rabbit inside.
Zhong Xiaoyi took out both the rabbit and its cage, noting, “This breed of rabbit is quite strange.”
Gu Hanchen said, “It’s an Angora rabbit.”
Zhong Xiaoyi lifted the rabbit out of the cage, stroking its fur and beaming with joy, “I wonder if Bunny can get on a plane…”
“Why would it need to get on a plane?” Gu Hanchen asked.
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’ve been accepted into a graduate program in Australia; classes start on July 22.”
Gu Hanchen was stunned, “What did you say?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I want to study finance. I majored in Chinese in college and have to figure out a lot about company managent. However, I don’t want to be too busy with my studies, so I chose to apply to schools in Australia.”
Gu Hanchen frowned, “Who said you could leave? Have you submitted your resignation?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I will submit my resignation now.”
Gu Hanchen said, “You’ve been my secretary for less than a year and you’re already thinking about resigning? Are today’s youngsters so fickle? Changing jobs annually is a major taboo in the job market; Mi Chen does not even consider resus that show annual job changes for interviews.”
“You’re going to graduate school to land a good job, aren’t you? You already have a good job, so why go for further studies? Is there really a need to study those easy master’s programs in Australia?”
“I won’t agree to a resignation for a trivial degree!”
Zhong Xiaoyi murmured softly, “It’s not a trivial program; the application requirents are actually quite high… I just need to give a month’s notice for my resignation.”
Zhong Xiaoyi couldn’t bear the thought of Mrs. Gu preparing suitable matchmaking candidates for Gu Hanchen and having to watch Gu Hanchen go on dates with other girls right before her eyes. It was too much to handle without being impacted.
Gu Hanchen frowned, “Can’t you study part-ti in a dostic graduate program? Why must you go to Australia?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Mr. Gu, I want to see a broader world…”
Gu Hanchen said, “Can’t you see the world by traveling? It’s perfectly fine to study here. If you leave, who will make the tiny dumplings for ?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “There are chefs.”
“It’s not the sa.” Gu Hanchen stated.
Zhong Xiaoyi, stroking the soft rabbit fur, said, “I can’t make tiny dumplings for you forever.”
Gu Hanchen paused, then said, “Let’s talk about going to Australia for your studies later.”
Zhong Xiaoyi could only respond with, “Oh.”
Zhong Xiaoyi took a photo of the rabbit and posted it on her Monts. Soon enough, many of her male colleagues from Mi Chen liked the post.
Zhong Xiaoyi had received nurous WeChat requests from male colleagues at Mi Chen since performing a dance at the annual eting. Among them, Hu Yisheng, the project operation leader of Ocean Dominator, ssaged her daily, along with Li Yang, the Vice President of the marketing departnt…
Whenever Zhong Xiaoyi posted a picture of a rabbit, these two would seek her out to chat.
Zhong Xiaoyi only responded selectively about work-related content, continually ignoring personal questions.
Gu Hanchen saw Zhong Xiaoyi looking at her phone and leaned over, saying, “Hu Yisheng can’t even utter a word in front of , yet he talks so much with you?”
Gu Hanchen then glanced at a new chat ssage on Zhong Xiaoyi’s phone. The contact was saved as Zhang Liao from the administrative departnt.
As Gu Hanchen looked at the ssages in Zhong Xiaoyi’s WeChat, his expression darkened, “Have you forgotten the promise you made to ? Not to date or get married or have kids before 30—and you’ve added so many male colleagues?”
Zhong Xiaoyi took back her phone, whispering, “They added , I couldn’t just say no, right? They are colleagues, and I have no intentions of dating.”
Gu Hanchen said, “You’d better not. You’re too young to be dating!”
“I’m not that young anymore.”
Gu Hanchen looked at Zhong Xiaoyi holding a rabbit in one arm and suddenly recalled her dancing at last year’s annual eting.
Looking closely at her face, it seed the little sister he once knew had really turned into a woman…
And quite a beautiful woman at that.
That so many male colleagues were pursuing Zhong Xiaoyi was proof enough.
Gu Hanchen glanced at Zhong Xiaoyi, wearing a sleeveless little black dress. The youthful vivacity was visible on her face, her barely made-up skin rosy and fair. Zhong Xiaoyi was truly no longer a child.
Gu Hanchen coughed and averted his eyes, yet couldn’t help but look back at Zhong Xiaoyi. He truly hadn’t noticed before how beautiful she had beco.
Zhong Xiaoyi locked the rabbit back in its cage, searching for tips on caring for an Angus rabbit.
That night, as Gu Hanchen looked at the lively wedding banquets in his friends’ circle, he decided to stop checking his phone, “I haven’t bathed in a long ti, I want to take a bath.”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “You can only wipe your body for now.”
“Then help with that.”
Zhong Xiaoyi assisted Gu Hanchen into the bathroom. Although this bathroom wasn’t as big as the one at Gu Hanchen’s ho, it was spacious for a hospital.
Zhong Xiaoyi filled a basin with hot water and began wiping Gu Hanchen’s body with a wet towel, being careful not to wet the bandages on his wounds.
As Zhong Xiaoyi wiped around Gu Hanchen’s waist, where his abs had almost vanished, she suddenly heard his breathing deepen.
Zhong Xiaoyi saw the arousal in Gu Hanchen’s lower body and blushed all the way to her ears, but pretended not to notice as she continued to wipe his body.
Just as Zhong Xiaoyi was about to pull down his trousers, Gu Hanchen said, “Get out!”
Zhong Xiaoyi looked at him, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Hanchen t Zhong Xiaoyi’s gaze, cursing himself inwardly as a beast!
Zhong Xiaoyi was the little girl he had watched grow up, six or seven years younger than him.
He was in first grade when Zhong Xiaoyi was born; he was in college when she was in sixth grade…
How could he have such a reaction to Zhong Xiaoyi?!
“You go out, I’ll wipe myself.”
“But your hand is still fractured, how can you wipe yourself?”
“Get out!”
