At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Mr. Xu, who was in the hospital, woke up.
"Ah Chao, cough cough~ Are you all here? What happened to me?"
After getting out of bed, Mr. Xu first looked around and, after guessing that he was in a hospital, said, "How did I end up in a hospital? No, I need to go home. There are things waiting for me to take care of at home."
While instructing his bodyguards, Boss Xu also tried to get out of bed: "Ah Chao, hurry up and help me with the discharge procedures. What are you still standing here for?"
The bodyguard named Ah Chao hesitated for a moment after hearing his boss's words, and finally said, "Boss, I think you should rest more. The doctor said last night that the reason you fainted was because you were overworked."
Mr. Xu waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "It's alright. I'm worried about my family. I'd better go home and rest."
Seeing how determined Mr. Xu was to go home, the bodyguard had no choice but to process his discharge from the hospital.
Just an hour later, after being escorted home by his bodyguards, Mr. Xu witnessed a scene that shattered his world!
"Oh my god! What, what's going on? No, I need to make a phone call..."
Mr. Xu's house was rarely visited by anyone, because he didn't like anyone coming to his house, not even his bodyguards. So when Mr. Xu was escorted to his door by his bodyguards and returned home alone to find a house in a mess, a corpse, and a broken coffin, he almost went crazy!
"Hello, Master, it's me. I'm in a bit of trouble. Could you come over for a moment?"
Around noon, Yue Jiuling was woken up by her phone ringing. She found the phone at the foot of the bed and answered it groggily without even looking at the caller ID: "Hello~ who is it?"
The person on the other end of the phone was Ya Zi. Ya Zi had just gotten up not long ago. As he opened the door to take Xiao Baicai out to eat, he said on the phone, "It's me. By the way, does Miss Wu have any work today? If not, would you like to go out for a bite together?"
When Yue Jiuling heard Ya Zi's voice, she was almost fully awake. She sat up and looked at the bed next to her, where she saw Wu Jing, who had also just been woken up.
"Ms. Wu, do you have work today? Would you like to grab something to eat together?"
Wu Jing also went to bed quite late last night, so she was still half asleep. However, she thought for a moment and replied, "There's no work at the company. I've finished filming my recent dramas and commercials, and I'll have to wait a few more days for the new drama. But I don't have time to have dinner with you guys. I have to have a video conference with people from the bureau at home today, so you guys go have dinner. You can pack some food for me when you come back."
Upon learning that Wu Jing had other work, Yue Jiuling nodded in understanding and said, "Alright, then we'll head out. Send us a message if you want anything to eat."
After Yue Jiuling finished speaking, she continued into the phone with Ya Zi: "Miss Wu has work today~ But we don't, so how about we go out and have some fun today?"
Ya Zi had already heard what Wu Jing had just said on the other end of the phone. He said, "Okay, then come down. Xiao Baicai and I are already going down the elevator."
"Okay, wait for me, just ten minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Jiuling started changing her clothes, while Wu Jing went to the bathroom to wash up and then changed into her formal uniform, ready to 'work' since she was going to have a video conference.
Because she received a lot of documents last night, she will be a bit busy at work today, but that has nothing to do with Yue Jiuling, so Yue Jiuling changed her clothes and ran away.
"Nine Spirits, over here~"
Ya Zi was waiting for Yue Jiuling at the entrance of the apartment. As soon as he saw Yue Jiuling, he waved and called out to her.
Yue Jiuling walked up to Ya Zi and said, "Huh? One of them is missing, where's Xiao Baicai?"
Didn't we agree to go eat together? How come one person is missing?
While Yue Jiuling was wondering, Ya Zi raised his chin and pointed in a direction, saying, "Over there, a little girl took a liking to a duck and wanted to play with it, so Xiao Baicai took the duck to play with her."
Yue Jiuling turned her head and saw an old lady playing with a little girl and ducks on the ground, while Xiao Baicai stood aside watching them with a smile.
"Hmm, okay, actually what I was thinking was, that duck is actually willing to pluck the feathers of human babies?"
The little girl was about five or six years old. She was wearing a pink dress, her hair was tied in a small ponytail, and she had two cute hair clips. She was dressed very delicately and adorably.
She was stroking the duck's head with one hand, and holding a white feather in the other, which was clearly a feather from the duck.
Ya Zi said, "Hehe, of course the duck didn't want to at first, but the girl kept asking for it, and Xiao Baicai had no choice but to pluck one for her."
Yue Jiuling was speechless upon hearing this: "No way, doesn't Xiaobaicai really like ducks? How could he suddenly be so heartless?"
"Well, maybe it's because that little girl is cuter than a duck?"
As Ya Zi said this, he turned to Yue Jiuling and smiled, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Have you forgotten? This little cabbage has been corrupted by Bai Xinyu; he's become a sucker for good looks now~"
Reminded by Ya Zi, Yue Jiuling gave a speechless look and said, "Tsk tsk~ Well, the duck is really pitiful, it actually lost to a human girl~"
