Edith swallowed as she saw the surprised look on Assistant Shawn's face.

Because of the sound of the documents falling, Hazel, who was sleeping on the sofa woke up from her sleep. The little girl looked at her surroundings with a puzzled look and went back to sleep.

"P-president Mo." Assistant Shawn was at loss at what to do. 

After two years of working under President Mo, Assistant Shawn was permitted to enter the office without knocking. Therefore, Assistant Mo was ready to enter the room to deliver some documents to him. Anyway, he had a few urgent documents with him and was in a hurry. Who would have thought that the moment he stepped into the room, he would see his boss lowering his head to kiss the kindergarten teacher?

The documents in his hands fell and Assistant Shawn could see the cold look on his boss's face. It was too scary and the temperature around him had dropped.

Suddenly, Assistant Shawn wished that he could turn back to a few minutes ago and knock on the door before entering. 

Assistant Shawn snapped out of his trance and bent down to pick up the documents. "Sorry. You… carry on with—" He paused to take a deep breath to calm down. "I should go now."

Edith turned to Neil and saw that the ice block expression on his face had returned. She poked at his arms and blinked her eyes, asking him what they should do. 

Neil heaved a sigh and rubbed his forehead. After a quick think, Neil walked over to Assistant Shawn. "Follow me."

Assistant Shawn took another deep breath. He picked up the documents in his hand and followed his boss to the meeting room. His face paled and his steps weakened.

The secretaries and staff who saw the look on Assistant Shawn's face were curious to know what had happened. Although Assistant Shawn could be strict, he was someone who always had a bright smile on his face.

Entering the meeting room, Assistant Shawn quickly closed the door behind him. He watched his boss walked around the room and finally stopped in front of him.

Seeing that his boss continued to stare at him without saying a word, Assistant Shawn grew anxious. Various thoughts came to his mind and he was worried that he might end up being killed now that he had seen something that he should not have.

Unable to bear the silence, Assistant Shawn finally spoke, "President Mo, you and Teacher Qian..."

"We are dating."

Assistant Shawn continued to stare at his boss in a daze, expecting his boss to say more, but after announcing the news. It took Assistant Shawn a few seconds to respond with an, "Ah?"

How could he have forgotten that his boss would not care to explain more after giving out the crucial information?

Neil narrowed his eyes at his assistant, wondering when did his assistant get so slow. If this were how he reacted every time he announced a project, they would lose millions, and he would have to fire him.

"Sorry." Assistant Shawn cleared his throat. "I was just surprised."

His expression darkened. "Why are you so surprised?" 

"I was not expecting this sudden news," Assistant Shawn admitted. He suddenly recalled their conversation earlier that day. He suddenly understood why President Mo had asked him to set up an access card and had rejected him when he mentioned drafting a new contract. 

It turned out that they don't need the contract at all.

Nanny Ann was going to return next week and Teacher Qian was going to continue and stay with the family. This time, not as the little miss's caretaker, but as President Mo's girlfriend!!

However, Assistant Shawn really could not figure out when did the two began their relationship. The last time he saw them together, President Mo still had that cold expression on his face. 

If someone told him that his boss would be dating the little miss's kindergarten teacher, Assistant Shawn would have a hard time believing it. The two's characters were very different. Assistant Shawn could not imagine how a cheery person such as Teacher Qian was going to survive President Mo's coldness.

But just now… he could swear that he saw the smile on President Mo's face. This smile was not the same as that scary smile he had flashed to him a while ago. This smile... was very warm and full of gentleness.

Assistant Shawn was not only surprised to caught his boss kissing his niece's caretaker. He was also shocked as he watched how the gentle look on President Mo's face turned cold within seconds just because he had barged in and caught them... kissing.

Seeing that the look on his boss's face continued to stay the same, Assistant Shawn quickly tried to figure out a way to appease his boss. "President Mo, congratulation."

Suddenly, the coldness on Neil's face decreased a little bit. The corner of his lips tilted up into a rare smile. He had worked for Neil Mo for years and this was the first time he had seen this smile up close.

"I will be careful from now on," Assistant Shawn continued. "The next time Teacher Qian came over, I'll make sure not to disturb you."

The smile on Neil's face stretched up further, giving Assistant Shawn a heart attack.

"Assistant Shawn, you should know not to say a word to anyone about this. Not even to my parents."

"President Mo, you can be assured. You can trust me."

…

Neil finally returned to his office after discussing the important matters with Assistant Shawn in the meeting room. The little girl was still sleeping on the sofa, and Edith was browsing something on her phone.

Edith looked up from her phone and stood up to walk over to him. "How was it? What did you tell Assistant Shawn?"

"What else should I tell him?" Neil raised a brow. "Of course, I told him that we are dating." 

Edith looked at the man who had a bragging expression on his face. 

"Speaking about that, there is something that I have to ask you," Neil said. "Previously, you wanted to keep our relationship a secret from Hazel because you need time to adjust to it. Are you not adjusting well to this relationship yet? Have you not sort out your mind yet?"

Edith smiled as she saw the slight frown appearing on his face. However, the smile only made the man impatient.

"Just now, Assistant Shawn had seen us kissing.. Then, what are we supposed to do if Hazel stumbled into the same situation? Wouldn't she be upset that we have kept this a secret from her?" Neil asked. "Edith, I wanted to be able to act like a proper boyfriend in front of my niece, can't I?"
