Cheng Ze let out a cough to get Meiling's attention and to let her know he had arrived. "You want to see me?" he spoke first.
The sudden noise made her look at the door, "Come in Cheng Ze," she smiled at him sweetly and walked towards him, "Coffee?"
"No, thank you!" he replied politely.
"I want to ask you if you can give Ji An a job in the company? Will it be possible?"
"A job for her? She didn't mention anything to me, and does she need a job? Will she accept it if I appoint her as my personal secretary?" he replied with a serious look.
Madam Gu laughed at him, "A you sacking Li Wei? She finished with a degree in Psychology, I want to suggest something if it's doable. How about you'll have a little clinic in your building and she will be the Psychiatrist for your employees, so they will be mentally fit to tackle their job. What do you think?"
'I'm going to share her with my employee? No way! Her time is for me and Sofia only.' "I don't think that is possible. We don't need that in the company," he replied with such seriousness like he is not really interested with that idea.
"Oh, is that so. Okay then. I'll find her a job elsewhere. But thank you for your time." she made a disappointed face and looked away from him.
Cheng Ze stood up and he was about to open the door when Madam Gu spoke again and made him halt.
"Cheng Ze, did you meet Ji An in London 6 years ago?" her voice sounded she already knew the answer.
Cheng Ze was surprised by her sudden question. "Hmm? I can't remember, " he answered her without facing her.
"Okay...? Do you like Ji An?" she paused for 5 seconds "Or should I rephrase my question. Do you love my daughter?"
'She never once behaved like this before. What is she trying to do?' his brain cannot comprehend what she was saying. He doesn't know how to answer her. 'If I say yes, she might not like it but if I say no, what will she do?' he couldn't reply at all as he doesn't know what to say.
"Cheng Ze? Are you okay?" she moved closer to him to check him if he was okay.
"I don't feel good right now, can we talk later?" of course, that's just his excuse to get away from her questions.
"Of course, you should rest. I'll get some medicine for you. I'll get Ji An to give it to you." she sounded sincerely worried about him .
Cheng Ze opened the door and made his way out and went straight to his old room, he still has his stuff in there. He's not quite sure what got into his stepmother. He took his clothes off and headed to have a shower to freshen him up. He needed to freshen up and he has to think about how to answer her questions in the future. He totally forgot that he was supposed to take Ji An somewhere.
Madam Gu asked one of the servants to call Ji An and asked another servant to prepare a special medicine. She was wearing a suspicious smile on her face as she asked for medicine and for Ji An.
The servant managed to wake Ji An up and she brought her downstairs to her mother.
"The servant said you were looking for me?" Ji An asked her mother.
"Oh yes. Can you bring this medicine to Cheng Ze? He doesn't feel too good. I told him I'm sending him medicine but I forgot I'm about to go out to get something. Could you give it to him for me?" She really doesn't have anywhere to go. It's just an excuse. She has a different plan and that was to find out something. Her plan was to follow Ji An quietly and wait outside Cheng Ze's door and wait for the right moment to get in.
"Okay. Don't worry about it. I'm sure he's fine. But I'll give it to him. Give it here I'll go now to his room."
Meiling handed the medicine to her and she stood there after Ji An left. She then instructed the servants to stay downstairs and don't let anyone go up near Cheng Ze's room.
Ji An knocks on his door but there was no answer, she thought he was probably asleep if he is not feeling very well so she just went in. She didn't find him in bed so Ji An put the medicine down and a glass of water on the little table near the sofa.
"Where is he? Did he leave?" she was about to call him on his phone when the bathroom door opened.
She looked at Cheng Ze's body and stared at it. She couldn't keep her eyes off of him, `how can he possibly have this kind of body?' she thought. The water from his hair was dripping down his toned body. Those abs are such a wonderful sight and she was feasting on it. 'This scene is so familiar.' she then snapped out of it remembering the same exact scene on her wedding night.
