Chapter 122: Chapter 121 When and Where Exactly (5)

Time flows silently like sand through fingers, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow is Ziyang’s birthday, the day she agreed with Mrs. Cheng to visit Ziyang.

After Gu Ningyi smashed her phone and left that day, he hasn’t returned in the past few days. Dong Xin Yan secretly prayed that he wouldn’t come back tomorrow; otherwise, she couldn’t meet Ziyang.

Just in case, Dong Xin Yan called Secretary Lin, intending to inquire about Gu Ningyi’s schedule for the next day, hoping to gauge the possibility of him returning.

-

When Secretary Lin received Dong Xin Yan’s call, she was in the middle of reporting work to Gu Ningyi. Her phone rang in her shirt pocket, causing Secretary Lin to freeze momentarily, and then cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The Boss hated phone noises during work. Today, she’d overslept and rushed to the company, completely forgetting to switch her phone to vibration mode.

Gu Ningyi lifted his eyes from the documents, giving Secretary Lin a lazy glance with his dark eyes. Secretary Lin nervously apologized, "Mr. Gu, I’m sorry!"

She hurriedly reached for her phone to hang up, but upon seeing the caller ID, her finger paused briefly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes before she reflexively glanced at Gu Ningyi.

"Mr. Gu, it’s Miss Dong calling."

Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of light passing through them. He tapped his long fingers lightly on the desk before speaking indifferently, "Answer."

Secretary Lin nodded, her finger moving to the answer button. She glanced at Gu Ningyi, hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the speakerphone button. Although she didn’t know why Dong Xin Yan suddenly called, she hoped Dong Xin Yan wouldn’t say anything bad about the Boss, or she wouldn’t be able to help her.

As soon as the call connected, a gentle female voice came through, "Hello, is this Secretary Lin? I’m Dong Xin Yan."

"Yes, it’s me, Miss Dong. Is there something you need from me?"

"Well... actually, it’s nothing much..." Dong Xin Yan’s voice seemed hesitant, but after a slight pause, she continued softly, "It’s just that last time, when I was sick, thanks to Gu Ningyi for taking me to the hospital, and he even had the doctors and nurses take care of me these days. Now that I’ve recovered, I wanted to cook a meal to thank him, so I wanted to ask if he would be free to come back tomorrow."

If she directly inquired about Gu Ningyi’s schedule with Secretary Lin, she probably wouldn’t be told, and it would seem abrupt, so Dong Xin Yan had to find such an excuse, even though it was insincere.

"Oh, is that so?"

Secretary Lin responded, her eyes glancing directly at Gu Ningyi, seeking instructions on how to reply.

Upon hearing Dong Xin Yan’s words, Gu Ningyi’s gaze turned sharply cold. Tomorrow? Isn’t tomorrow Ziyang’s birthday, which she recorded on her phone?

On that day, he had clearly warned her to clear out unnecessary things!

But she hadn’t taken his words to heart.

Or maybe she did hear, but for Ziyang, she decided to risk it all and inquire about his schedule, didn’t she?

Fine, very well!

Gu Ningyi’s lips curled into a chilling smile, a cold expression appearing on his handsome face. He picked up a pen, swiftly writing a few words on a sheet of paper before handing it to Secretary Lin.

Secretary Lin glanced at the words, slightly stunned.
