Chapter 318 - Assistant Huo has Become Their Accomplice

After accompanying Zhang Jing to meet with Doctor Xia, and found out that his result came out alright, Li Qin Yao sent a quick text to her husband to brief him on the situation.

Ten minutes after she had sent the messages, her phone started to vibrate. Looking at the caller ID, it was Zhang Yu Han. Li Qin Yao slid her finger on the screen and pressed the phone on her ear.

"Is it done?" Zhang Yu Han's deep voice could be heard from the other line.

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. She turned to look at both Zhang Jing and Assistant Huo who was standing not too far from her. "Did you see my messages? I have attached Grandfather's report."

"I know. I've seen them."

Something came to her mind and Li Qin Yao frowned. "Wait a minute, didn't you say that you have a meeting? Is it done?"

The reason why Zhang Yu Han could not accompany Zhang Jing to the hospital this time was because he needed to chair an important meeting for his grandfather.

Zhang Yu Han glanced at the close door behind him and chuckled. "Well, we are on a break."

Meanwhile, the managers in the meeting room were sweating anxiously as they waited for the Director to return. Just a while ago, Zhang Yu Han had suddenly looked at his phone and stood up. After announcing that they were going to take a two minutes break, he then left the room.

There were some of the managers who wanted to use this opportunity to take a toilet break, however, upon noticing that their Director was leaning on the glass wall, they immediately sat still at their place.

Hearing that the meeting was on break, Li Qin Yao let out a breath of relief. "I'm going to have lunch with Grandfather. Then, I'll go back to the company."

Zhang Yu Han heaved a soft sigh at his wife's plan. "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

Li Qin Yao giggled at his words and stopped herself once she realized that she was still in the hospital.

"Grandfather's result might look good, but remember to keep your eyes on him when you had lunch with him," Zhang Yu Han said. "I worry that he would be too excited and eat more than he should when I wasn't around."

Li Qin Yao suppressed her laugh as she recalled how Zhang Jing had just told her how strict Zhang Yu Han was when he was monitoring his diet. "Alright. Don't worry. I'll look after him."

"Don't just give in to him."

After exchanging a few more words with her husband, Li Qin Yao went over to Zhang Jing and Assistant Huo who was arguing about Zhang Jing's medicine.

"Grandfather," Li Qin Yao called. 

Hearing her sweet voice, the frown on Zhang Jing's face quickly disappeared. He turned around and smiled. "Are you done with your call?"

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. "Yu Han reminded me to monitor your diet."

Zhang Jing heaved a sigh at her word. Then, he looked up at his granddaughter-in-law with aggrieved expression.

A chuckle left her when she saw the look. "Of course, we have both agreed that today will be our little secret, right?"

The elderly man's expression brightened up with joy. Then, the two of them turned to look at Assistant Huo, as if threatening him. Facing the two of them, Assistant Huo had no other choice but to agree to keep this lunch a secret. Since he was together with them, Assistant Huo has become their accomplice.

The three of them then went to a restaurant not far away from the restaurant and picked a table. A waiter walked over to their table and the three of them placed their order. Fortunately, Zhang Jing still had his conscience and ordered only one serving of meat dishes for himself.

When the waiter left, Zhang Jing turned to look at his granddaughter-in-law with a puzzled look.

"You ordered so little, will that be enough?" Zhang Jing asked. 

Li Qin Yao smiled. "It's enough. Yu Han made some porridge for me for breakfast. I'm still full."

Zhang Jing laughed at the thought that his grandson can now cook after he was married. Zhang Jing was very sure that in the past, his grandson only knew how to boil water and nothing else. 

"You don't have to worry about paying. It will be my treat today," Zhang Jing said.

Li Qin Yao laughed. "Yu Han gave me his card. Grandfather, how about we let him treat us to this lunch?"

Hearing her suggestion, Zhang Jing laughed happily. It was rare for him to take advantage of his grandson. Since his grandson's wife had offered, of course, Zhang Jing was not going to decline.

After a while, Li Qin Yao stared at her empty bowl in a daze, wondering when did she finish her rice and her side dishes when both Zhang Jing and Assistant Huo was still enjoying their meal slowly.

Li Qin Yao looked up and her gaze stopped at the sweet and sour chicken that Assistant Huo was eating. Suddenly, Li Qin Yao thought that the golden-colored chicken in the glistering sweet and sour sauce looked especially delicious. 

Assistant Huo who noticed that someone was watching him immediately paused. He looked up and stopped himself when he saw that the Chairman's granddaughter-in-law was staring at the chicken clipped on his chopstick intently.

"M-miss, no. Young Madam, is there something wrong?" Assistant Huo asked.

"Huh?" Li Qin Yao snapped out of her trance.

"Why are you staring at me?" Assistant Huo licked his lips anxiously. "Would you like to try these dishes?"

"Qin Yao, if you're still hungry, you can order more," Zhang Jing said.

"No." Li Qin Yao quickly shook her head. Heat crept on her face as she was embarrassed with her action. "I was just thinking how did the chef make that sauce look so glistering."

Assistant Huo stared back at the chicken and frowned.

After their lunch ended, Li Qin Yao walked out of the restaurant only to see that Mister Shen, the bodyguard that the Qi's family had sent to her was waiting outside.

Li Qin Yao sent both Zhang Jing and Assistant Huo to their car, and passed her car keys to the bodyguard and let him drive her to QL Group in B City.

Unfortunately, the traffic was bad and Li Qin Yao was stuck in jammed for almost an hour. When she arrived at the office, Li Qin Yao rushed over to the toilet as she could no longer hold her bladder.

Just as she sat down on the toilet seat, Li Qin Yao began to notice something strange. She knew that she would always have a heavy period on the first two days. However, looking at her pad, it doesn't seem as if she was on period...

Li Qin Yao walked out of the toilet in a daze. Before she could ponder longer on this matter, Xiao Lian Yi approached her to announce that she had a guest.
