n“I’mm a housekeeper hired by Mr. Song last night. My surname is Wang.” The middle-aged woman smiled. “Breakfast is ready. You can eat breakfast after you’re done washing up, Madam.”

nChangqing felt awkward and embarrassed to have someone addressing her as “Madam” for the first time. However, after she noticed the rich western-style breakfast that was on the dining table, her mood instantly brightened instead. “You’re pretty skilled at this,” Changqing complimented the housekeeper.

nAuntie Wang smiled. “Mr. Song called my boss of the recruitment company last night to hire a housekeeper, saying that the first and foremost quality he was looking for was whether the housekeeper knew how to cook, especially dishes such as beef on toothpicks, honey glazed spare ribs, and so on…”

nChangqing’s heart went pit-a-pat.

nWas this why he asked so many questions yesterday? Because he wanted to hire a housekeeper?

nShe honestly didn’t think he would treat her so well.

nNoticing that Auntie Wang was looking at her with a smile, Changqing’s face suddenly turned red, and she scrambled away back to her room and into the bathroom. Due to not having good sleep yesterday night, the dark circles underneath her eyes looked pretty dramatic in the mirror. While she was looking at herself in the mirror, she suddenly felt she was a rather narrow-minded person.

nWhen Changqing was at the TV station, she received a phone call from Song Chuyi. “Was the breakfast delicious?”

n“It was quite tasty.” Changqing smiled sweetly. “Auntie Wang poured a lot of honey on top of the French toast she made. It was so delicious.”

n“You little glutton. All right, I’m going into my surgery now. Goodbye.”

nChangqing peered at her phone feeling puzzled. Did he specifically call me just to ask me whether the breakfast was delicious?

n“What are you giggling at with such glee?” Her assistant, Wen Tong asked while she bumped into Changqing’s shoulder suspiciously. “Hey, you haven’t got yourself a boyfriend and hid it from me right?”

n“Of course not.” Changqing denied and touched her own face. Did I giggle just now? She wondered.

nIn the afternoon, after Changqing finished rushing through her work in the TV station, she immediately hurried to the hospital. Shen Lu’s surgery was successfully completed by the time she arrived, but she still hadn’t woken up yet.

nWhen Changqing went to visit Shen Lu, there was no one else present aside from Fu Yu by the side of the bed. She hesitated for a while regarding whether she should go inside until Fu Yu saw her. “Changqing, why don’t you come inside since you’re already at the entrance?”

n“I just got here,” Changqing explained and went into the ward without a choice. “When will Auntie wake up?”

n“Probably in an hour,” Fu Yu answered as he pinched the area between his eyebrows.

nWatching his movements, Changqing noticed he looked bone-tired and that he didn’t shaved his newly grown stubble above his lips as well. The sight of it made her remember the former Fu Yu who looked clean and proper, and whose eyebrows looked pleasant and fine. “Have you stayed here the entire time since yesterday night?”

n“Yeah, my mom had a prolonged migraine last night,” Fu Yu replied with a hoarse voice.

nLooking at the state he was currently in, an anxious feeling of concern towards him could be easily evoked from others. This applied to Changqing as well as she consoled him with concern: “Everything will improve after the surgery. By the way, are Uncle and Auntie really divorced? Weren’t they getting along just fine in their relationship back then?”

n“What you saw was just a segment of it. When I was still in high school, they had already fallen out with each other. It was only for my sake that they didn’t get a divorce back then,” Fu Yu said as his lips formed a self-deprecating and distant smile.

nChangqing was stunned.

nWhen Fu Yu saw the overflowing heartache Changqing was feeling and exposing deep within her eyes, he suddenly felt his heart, which had gotten so lonesome all these years, had suddenly gotten a lot better. No matter how many years had passed, this silly girl would always continue to care about him. “Oh, by the way, my company and the TV station you’re working at are co-producing a TV series, and the supporting actress will be selected from your TV station. You were selected for the role, right?”

n“I’m not the one playing it. The role was given to Chi Yining.” Changqing shook her head in low spirits as she was still feeling sorry for him and Shen Lu.
