Fang Shiqing looked at Su Banxia with disdain. "Crazy. I really don't get you—why do you have to dress yourself up like this when you're so pretty?"
Su Banxia couldn't be bothered to explain her low-key strategy. She glanced around and suddenly panicked. "Where are Xiao Hao and Guo Guo?"
"Oh, your precious daughter insisted on going out to play. I was worried, so I had her brother go with her."
"Xiao Hao? You actually let Xiao Hao accompany her? He's still a child himself!"
Seeing Su Banxia's anxious expression, Fang Shiqing handed her a glass of water. "Come on, Miss Su, don't you know what kind of kid your son is? Even you sometimes need Xiao Hao to take care of you. If I didn't send Xiao Hao with her, was I supposed to send you?"
Su Banxia thought about it and realized she had a point. Back in France, when she was busy day and night, Xiao Hao not only had to look after his sister but sometimes even cooked porridge for her, his own mother. Thinking back, she really owed him a lot...
"Mommy!"
Just as she was lost in thought, Xiao Hao and the others returned. Guo Guo sprinted into Su Banxia's arms, giving her a big hug.
"Where did you go? Mommy was worried about you, you know?"
Su Banxia pretended to be angry.
"Mommy, I went to work with big brother!"
Guo Guo tilted her chubby little face and declared it with conviction.
Fang Shiqing was curious too. "Work? What can you two do?"
"We went to be models! I saw an ad on big brother's computer for a magazine cover shoot. They really picked me, and big brother got to shoot with me too!"
"A magazine?"
Fang Shiqing pinched Guo Guo's cheek skeptically. "You dared to go just like that? Weren't you afraid some scammer would kidnap you?"
"No way! Big brother said he checked the ad's original link, and it really came from the magazine!"
"Oh? He knows how to check links?"
Fang Shiqing nudged Su Banxia's arm. "What exactly is your son up to? I thought he just played games on his computer all day."
Guo Guo perked up immediately, running over to Xiao Hao and announcing solemnly, "My big brother is a hacker!"
"Boring!"
Xiao Hao kept a straight face. "Mommy, Godmother, I'm going to my room."
Su Banxia watched Xiao Hao's retreating figure on the stairs, and a certain image suddenly popped into her mind... She finally realized who Xiao Hao resembled.
He looked like!
He really did, especially that expressionless face!
After coaxing Guo Guo to sleep, Su Banxia drifted off in a daze. In her dream, she returned to that night six years ago...
The dream was so vivid that when she woke up in the morning, her face was still flushed. She felt listless the whole way.
Su Banxia brewed a cup of coffee, finally managing to pull herself together to head to the office and review documents, only to find the CEO's door slightly ajar.
Pei Shaoze was here this early?
Su Banxia pushed the door open. "Good morning, CEO—"
"Smack!"
Su Banxia was stunned by what she saw. The coffee cup in her hand hit the floor with a crash, coffee splattering everywhere.
The room was dimly lit. A woman in a professional suit, with a sexy, curvaceous figure, was stroking Pei Shaoze's chest, teasing him seductively.
Meanwhile, Pei Shaoze sat leisurely in his leather chair, looking as if he wasn't even involved, and even seemed to glance at Su Banxia with a blank expression.
Su Banxia's heart skipped a beat. She slammed the door shut.
Playing this wild so early in the morning? No wonder capitalists live such extravagant lives!
What was that saying again? When there's work, the secretary does it; when there's no work, the secretary gets...
Su Banxia shuddered involuntarily.
