Not the other woman.

Tan Hai found the concealed door connected to the study room.

‘How did you get in here?’ Yue Gu Zai asked.

Yue Gu Zai put the cup of coffee on the desk. Only Zhen Zhen had his permission to enter the study room freely.

‘I… I’m Tan Hai,’ Tan Hai said. ‘We met at Ni Sheng’s headquarters in Las Vegas.’

‘I don’t remember meeting you,’ Yue Gu Zai said. ‘I asked you how you got in here.’

Tan Hai loved Yue Gu Zai’s cold aura. She was intimidated by him, but she thought she was as beautiful as Zhen Zhen. She planned to become his lover, make him fall in love with her and divorce Zhen Zhen to marry her.

‘I… I came here to visit big brother Yan Fen,’ Tan Hai said.

‘Yan Fen is in the guest room,’ Yue Gu Zai said. ‘This room is out of bounds.’

Tan Hai was preoccupied checking out Yue Gu Zai to register Yue Gu Zai wanted her to leave. He looked dashing even in a white T-shirt and khaki pants.

Zhen Zhen walked into the study room, and she was surprised to see Tan Hai.

‘Miss Tan, couldn’t you find the bathroom?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

‘I… this is a big home… I got lost,’ Tan Hai lied.

Tan Hai noticed Yue Gu Zai was frowning at Zhen Zhen. She thought he didn’t look like a man who loved his wife.

‘Zhen Zhen, did you visit Yan Fen again?’ Yue Gu Zai asked.

‘Gu Zai, is it wrong of me to chat with big brother Yan Fen?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

‘Zhen Zhen, cook dinner for me tonight,’ Yue Gu Zai said.

Yue Gu Zai was going to ask Bai Yu Tian to fly back, examine Yan Fen’s injury so he could kick Yan Fen back to headquarters.

‘Gu Zai, I don’t want to cook dinner tonight,’ Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen secretly cooked lunch two days ago. She tasted her cooking, and understood why Yue Gu Zai and the others’ faces looked strange even though they said the breakfast she cooked was delicious. She finally believed that there were some things even a genius like her couldn’t do like cooking.

‘Then I’ll cook dinner for you tonight,’ Yue Gu Zai said.

‘Gu Zai, do you know how to cook?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

‘Yes,’ Yue Gu Zai said.

‘Can I invite big brother Yan Fen to eat with us?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

Yue Gu Zai said yes, because he didn’t want to disappoint Zhen Zhen.

Tan Hai didn’t know why Yue Gu Zai would want to cook dinner for Zhen Zhen if he didn’t love Zhen Zhen. But as long as she stayed in his home, she would have opportunities to get closer to him.

Dinner was tensed that night. Yue Gu Zai only wanted to eat dinner with Zhen Zhen. But there were three wheels at the table.

‘Mr Yue… I want to ask if I could join Ni Sheng,’ Tan Cuo said.

‘Boss, Tan Cuo wanted to join Ni Sheng for a long time,’ Yan Fen said. ‘I believe Tan Cuo will be an asset for Ni Sheng.’

Yue Gu Zai shot chopsticks at Tan Cuo. Luckily for Tan Cuo, he had quick reflexes otherwise the chopsticks would have embedded his throat instead of the wall behind him.

‘Tan Cuo, you have good reflexes,’ Yue Gu Zai praised. ‘I’ll ask someone to run you through the initiation tests. If you pass, you can join Ni Sheng.’

‘Thank you boss,’ Yan Fen said.

‘I’m not giving Tan Cuo a chance to join Ni Sheng because of you,’ Yue Gu Zai said. ‘He needs to earn his spot in Ni Sheng.’

‘Mr Yue, I won’t disappoint you,’ Tan Cuo said.

Yue Gu Zai didn’t care about Tan Cuo. He put more food into Zhen Zhen’s bowl.

‘Zhen Zhen, eat more,’ Yue Gu Zai said.

‘Um,’ Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen thought Yue Gu Zai looked upset with her. She quietly ate the dinner he cooked.

After dinner Zhen Zhen showed Tan Cuo and Tan Hai to the guest rooms on the second floor. She thought she didn’t need to visit Yan Fen while Yan Fen had Tan Cuo and Tan Hai to keep Yan Fen company.

Zhen Zhen walked to hers and Yue Gu Zai’s bedroom, and she showered. By the time she got into bed, it was ten at night. She couldn’t sleep soundly without Yue Gu Zai hugging her in bed.

Outside the study room, Tan Hai was wearing a see through white mini nightgown. It was her perfect opportunity to seduce Yue Gu Zai. Since Yue Gu Zai didn’t love Zhen Zhen, she thought he would fall for temptation.

Tan Hai walked into the study room. She couldn’t see Yue Gu Zai. She put the glass of milk on the desk, and she looked at his signature on the documents. His signature looked solid like his body.

Yue Gu Zai was taking a nap in a room connected to the study room, because he didn’t want to disturb Zhen Zhen’s sleep on nights he worked overtime.
