Chapter 12: Misunderstanding

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chu Yi confirmed that Wang Lin was fine before following Song Ting back to the branch office.

Although there was only the final wrapping up work left, Chu Yi was still exhausted due to the absence of Wang Lin.

By the time she finished her work, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening.

At this moment, Song Ting, who had just finished a call with Wan Ping, looked unhappy.

His grandmother was asking why he didn’t bring her granddaughter-in-law back home.

He wanted to say that the woman had cheated on him, but he thought that grandma still valued this woman very much. Moreover, she must have been carefully selected for him. She shouldn’t have done anything out of line.

For a moment, he also had some doubts. Could it be that he was too impulsive at that time and had some misunderstandings?

He saw Chu Yi sitting on the sofa, holding her neck and looking exhausted. The Chu Yi in front of him had a slight resemblance to the “Chu Yi” in his memory.

They both had fair complexions and were not too tall.

Song Ting quickly shook his head and dispelled this ridiculous thought.

“President.” Seeing Song Ting return, Chu Yi quickly stood up.

Song Ting stared at her for a while. “Would a woman allow a man, other than her husband, to call her ‘dear’?”

Chu Yi widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

However, when she saw Song Ting’s serious expression, she thought about it seriously again. It seemed like it was possible. Didn’t Tian Peng just call her and Xu Yin ‘dear’?

“Uh, it seems possible. I have a pretty good male friend who could be considered a childhood friend. We also call each other that.” Chu Yi pondered her wording.

Song Ting was a little puzzled, “But would you also hug each other?”

Chu Yi was even more surprised. Could it be that the CEO’s wife was caught being intimate with a male friend?

“It depends on the situation,” she said carefully. “For example, if something happy happens, we could hug and celebrate together. Or in an emergency, we might hug each other for safety reasons.”

“Emergency safety?” Song Ting repeated.

Indeed, that day someone had thrown trash down from upstairs, and the man had hugged ‘Chu Yi’ to protect her.

Did he really misunderstand?

Chu Yi, who was baffled by Song Ting’s question, returned to her room and continued thinking about this matter. Unfortunately, Wang Lin was not there. Otherwise, the two of them could have chatted more.

Thinking about Wang Lin, who was still pitifully in the hospital ward, Chu Yi also prepared the ingredients for the soup the next day.

For the past two days, Wang Lin had not eaten the nutritious meals provided by the hospital at all. She relied on Chu Yi to deliver food to survive.

If Song Ting had not followed her over every time, she would have asked Chu Yi if she wanted to come to her house after she gave birth. She would love to have a caring, pretty assistant who was good at cooking.

“You’re usually so gentle and delicate. Your family must spoil you a lot, right? I didn’t expect you to have such good cooking skills at such a young age.” Wang Lin finished all the food in front of her and couldn’t help but sigh with satisfaction.

“When I was young, I was mostly alone at home. When I got hungry, I had to cook for myself.” Chu Yi didn’t say much, but Wang Lin could tell that she might not have had a very happy childhood.

Otherwise, how many girls in their twenties can cook?

Seeing Chu Yi’s disappointed expression, Song Ting also felt a little uneasy.

Thinking about Chu Yi’s stubborn expression when she was bullied that day, Song Ting said, “Take an afternoon off and go to A City to have a look.”

“Ah?” Chu Yi was a little surprised.

“You silly girl! Thank the CEO!” Wang Lin also gave her a signal, why not quickly accept the CEO’s kindness?

“Really? Thank you so much, CEO!” Chu Yi said happily and asked Wang Lin, “Do you want to buy a gift for someone? I will go to the Central Building.”

“Little girls go to the Central Building? Who are you going to buy the gift for?” Wang Lin finally regained her energy and was curious.

“My favorite blind box was just released in A City two days ago, and our city doesn’t have it yet. I want to try my luck. And my friend likes it too, so I want to buy it for her as a gift.” The smile on Chu Yi’s face grew deeper when she thought of her favorite blind box.

Wang Lin looked helpless. “These are all things that little girls like. You can go. Just remember to bring me some food.”

“Get me one too. A blind box? It’s called a blind box, right?” Song Ting suddenly said.

Upon hearing Song Ting’s words, Chu Yi and Wang Lin were both puzzled.

“CEO Song, are you planning to give a blind box to Madam?” Wang Lin couldn’t understand Song Ting’s thoughts at all.

Song Ting, however, looked completely unperturbed. “Didn’t you say that all little girls like these things?”
