Chapter 61: Set a spy in Liu Corps

“That’s good. Honestly I never thought you would be this comfortable with any other girl. You and Jinhai have always been like that. Maintaining your distance with other women. Only Huian and I were able to bear you.”

“Hey! What do you mean by ‘bear’? I can understand bro but I was not that difficult, okay?”

She rolled her eyes. “Whatever you say.”, she paused and said, “But…don’t you think you should find out about her background? I mean her family and all. Because don’t you think it’s odd that such a young girl has to try and work so hard to earn her living? What about her parents?”, she tried to instill doubt in him.

He raised his eyebrows. “I don’t care about that. Everybody has his own situation. She is a nice girl regardless of her family.”

“…Don’t ever ask her that. It will be rude to her. It may be a sensitive issue for her. And its not like she is hiding it. I’m not asking it either. I want to respect her privacy.”

“S-sure. I didn’t mean anything bad by it.”

He smiled.

Outside.

“Ughhh! Nana Nana Nana! Just when I’m trying here to have him back, she comes barging in. She dared talk back to me, Tang Suyin, the princess of the Tang family. I hate her! If this goes on, my whole plan will fail. Jianyu will never look at me. It will be impossible to get back together.”

She left his office and released all her pent up anger. She had to do something to make Jianyu disgusted of her. She made a plan.

Huian and Grandma Liu were having a serious discussion. She showed her the letter she took from Liu Jinhai. She thanked God that he didn’t question anything about it afterwards.

“In cahoots with…this clearly meant us, right? How we together…”, Grandma Liu asked.

“Yes. I was lucky that I found out about it on time. I got so scared because Jinhai had already read it. I somehow distracted him the whole time so he would forget about it. And it worked. He didn’t ask about it later. But Grandma, we cannot be always this lucky. What if he leaves another letter in his office? He will find it weird and suspicious if I visit him every day.”

“No! We cannot let this happen. Let me think.”

They were both silently thinking of a desperate plan to save themselves.

Grandma Liu said, “What if you go tomorrow in the office and bribe somebody close to Jinhai? You can make up any excuse and tell him to keep an eye on whatever documents or letters he gets. And if he receives any weird letter like we got now, he has to immediately take it and hand it over to us.”

Huian’s eyes brightened. “Yes! This is a good idea.”

“You are needed here in case any letter comes in our house. But in office we need another person. Oh, but remember. Don’t ask Assistant Xin about this. He is very loyal to Jinhai. If he smells that something is cooking up, he will first report it to your husband.”

She nodded, “Yes, Grandma. Don’t worry. I will find the right person to do this job.”

Nana as usual wrapped her work in Natsukashi and headed for Liu Jinhai’s office.

She reached the top floor and heard a baby crying.

“Waaaaa waaaaa….”

She stopped in her tracks. A baby? Here?

She followed the crying voice and saw a woman cradling a baby.

Nana knew her. She was one of Liu Jinhai’s secretary. The secretary desks were right outside the CEO’S office. The other secretaries were crowded around her as well.

I think her name is Peng Meixiu?

She got close to them and saw a cute little bun crying. He was about four months old.

She couldn’t help but smile and somehow the bun realized that so he immediately turned his head to look at her.

He stopped crying.

Peng Meixiu was surprised how her son suddenly stopped wailing.

She raised her head and looked at Nana.

“Ah Nana! It’s you.”

“Hello.”

“Its good to see you. I must say you are my lucky charm. You came and he stopped bawling.”

The other secretaries laughed, “Of course, why won’t he? Just look at him giggling at Nana.”

“I think I can also see him blushing.”

“Aww so cute. I think he really likes her.”

Peng Meixiu said, “I can totally see that. He has not taken his eyes off her till now.”

At first she was skeptical of Nana. Like other people too, she thought that she is trying to win her boss’s favor. But after everything she did, her impression of Nana improved. Especially what she introduced for all those women who recently delivered.

She was really weak when she gave birth, but ever since following Nana’s diet, she felt more energetic and healthy.

She saw how her son’s eyes were gleaming with happiness and with some kind of hope.

She chuckled, “Nana. Do you want to hold him?”

She was his mother after all. She understood what he wanted.

Her eyes brightened as well. “Can I?”

“Sure.”

She carefully handed her son over to Nana. He was flailing his hands in excitement. The moment she held him, he raised his tiny chubby hands to caress her cheek.
