-President’s Office, Vintage Gems-
Xu y was engaged in work during the lunch break like a scrupulous person when Qin Hao knocked at the door and craned his neck inside to say, "President Xu, you have a guest."
Before Xu y could open her mouth to inquire about the guest, she heard a familiar voice making her stand up abruptly. "Move away and let walk through." The owner of the voice pushed Qin Hao out of the way and walked inside elegantly.
"Xiao y!" Xu y just stared at He Jian’s mother, Zhu Qinyang whose deanour took a 180-degree turn, the mont her eyes fell on Xu y.
Xu y could only smile and wave at Qin Hao who was gaping at the side, to leave. "Auntie Qin-Qin, what a pleasant surprise!" When Xu y ca forward to hug Zhu Qinyang that’s when her eyes caught the figure behind.
Zhu Qinyang noticed Xu y’s questioning eyes and explained, "I brought Susu here with . She needs your help with sothing. Now, I’m very busy. So, Xiao y, take care of my favourite sister-in-law and I’ll see you so other day."
Xu y arched her brows in confusion. "Auntie, you’re leaving? Why don’t you stay for so tea?"
Zhu Qinyang smiled delighted by and stroked Xu y’s hair. "Xiao y, I would’ve loved to stay but I have a eting with the Minister in about 30 minutes. I’m leaving her with you." Xu y pursed her lips and nodded.
Then Zhu Qinyang turned to her sister-in-law, He Susu and said, "Su, you can ask her to do anything. Xiao y is just like your own daughter, she won’t deny you of anything. Okay?" He Susu smiled and nodded at her.
When Zhu Qinyang left the room, a strange silence prevailed around. Xu y was struggling inside about how to talk to her ’potential mother-in-law’. Oh, wait! Isn’t she the ’actual mother-in-law’? Xu y was having a debate inside her mind. No, no... She won’t be the ’actual’ one until Ye Jie accepts her. For now, she’s the ’potential’ one.
She sighed inwardly. ’What complicated relationships, I have to deal with. What a hassle.’
Xu y cleared her throat and tried to start the conversation. "Why don’t you take a seat, Ms-"
"You can call Auntie Su. I won’t mind." He Susu replied with a polite smile.
"Okay... So, Auntie Su, take a seat and be comfortable." After He Susu sat down at the couch, Xu y asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Tea will be fine. Thank you!" He Susu replied.
Xu y smiled and ordered Qin Hao to send in so tea. While He Susu was looking around, Xu y’s eyes were trained on her. She was like an elegant, well-bred lady. Beauty was just a single trait of her. Most of all, her personality was sothing that attracted people to her.
"What can I help you with?" Xu y inquired while taking a seat.
"Actually, it’s my anniversary next month and I wanted your help with the gift." As soon as those words were said, Xu y was dumbstruck by the fact that both Zhu Chen and his wife were so damn in sync.
Her trance was broken when He Susu added, "Sis Qinyang suggested that I should ask you for help. Well, now I know why she said that you can help ."
"Huh?" Xu y didn’t understand her aning.
He Susu smiled again and went on, "You’re the President of one of the fastest growing Jewelry brands. Obviously, you can help ."
Xu y could only laugh awkwardly at that comnt. When Qin Hao ca with the tea, there was again an awkward silence in the air. After he left, Xu y asked, "Do you have sothing specific in your mind for the gift?"
He Susu took a sip of her tea and nodded. "I plan on giving him a pocket watch."
’Do you need a Jewelry designer for that?’ Xu y wanted to ask but didn’t dare to.
Seeing Xu y frown, He Susu further added, "I need your help with its design."
"Ohhh..." Xu y dragged the world unnecessarily. "You have the design in your mind?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do." She took a pause. "I want the cover to have so words engraved on it while the inside to have a sketch. Is it possible?"
Xu y pondered for a mont, "Well, it requires a bit of ti but yeah, it’s definitely possible."
He Susu heaved a sigh of relief and focused on her tea. "Xiao y, I can call you Xiao y, right?" She looked at Xu y who nodded in reply. "So, Xiao y, you’re really like what my husband says about you."
"What does Uncle Chen say about ?" Xu y asked with a bit of curiosity.
"He told that you’re a very strange kind of person." Xu y frowned to hear that. "You’re simple and yet twisted in your own way."
Xu y scratched the tip of her nose and asked, "Is that bad?"
"No. It makes you refreshing and real in your own way." She heard the reply.
"Say, if you could get a daughter-in-law like , would you like it?" Xu y words sohow made He Susu a bit sad as she stared at the floating flower petals in her teacup. "I’m sorry. That was a dumb question."
He Susu shook her head and gave a sad smile. "To be honest, if I had my son with , I would gladly want you to be my daughter-in-law."
Xu y spent a long ti talking with He Susu about the design and about other random stuff. Xu y was glad that He Susu was a very easygoing person with no hidden agendas. She was mostly like Xu y herself, especially when it ca to bluntness.
At precisely 5 o’clock, Ye Jie ca to pick up Xu y from the office and the mont Xu y slid inside the passenger seat, she was pulled in for a kiss which took her by surprise. But she soon loosened up and responded to Ye Jie’s kisses with delight.
Ye Jie reluctantly parted away from Xu y and said, "I missed you so much, baby."
Xu y buckled her seatbelt and said, "I can tell."
Ye Jie waited for her to say sothing else but she didn’t, so, Ye Jie asked himself, "Didn’t you miss ?"
"I’ll tell you at ho, how much I missed you Ah Jie." Now, that answer was on a whole level ambiguity for Ye Jie. He couldn’t figure out the aning.
