I was very happy that I was no longer alone and had worn out my loneliness. Now that I have a real family member, she relies on me and needs me as much as if I wanted such a gentle mother.
After bringing Aunt Yun home, I changed her clothes, then helped her wash her hair and measure her temperature. As expected, she has a fever, and it's quite severe.
By the time I finished blow-drying her hair, she was asleep and her forehead was frighteningly hot.
Seeing this, Li Ao suggested to me: "How about you buy some medicine for me to cook?"
"Can you?" I started to doubt his cooking skills. After I re-examined Li Ao's new identity, I kept having the feeling that he had a slightly sickly and delicate personality, just the opposite of Gao Kan's swift and fierce personality.
Li Ao explained: "Don't worry, cooking isn't a problem for me. I'm usually very independent.
"Sure."
Taking the chance that Aunt Yun was asleep, I went to the community hospital to buy some antipyretic medicine. When I returned home, Li Ao had already cooked a meal, a simple three dishes and a soup, but his culinary skills were much better than what I expected, but compared to Gao Kan, he was still a little lacking.
She usually eats very fine and exquisite food in the Dong Clan, specially made foods. I was afraid that she would not get used to eating plain food, but I didn't expect that she would eat so happily, praising the food made from little Li.
"When we get back, I'll tell Dong to give you a raise." When she was awake occasionally, she remembered that Li Ao was the new driver for the Mr. Dong.
Li Ao smiled good-naturedly and joked with her, "I have already resigned from my job, I wonder if you still lack a son? I can do it too. "
"I don't lack anything. I only want a daughter." Aunt Yun nervously hugged onto my arm, and said to Li Ao: "Do you like my daughter too?"
"Eh, of course I like it. Your daughter is so outstanding." Li Ao winked at me, and I treated his words as a joke.
"That won't do. My daughter is still young. Before you reach the age of a boyfriend, I'm warning you, don't have any presumptuous thoughts towards my daughter." The Aunt Yun said to Li Ao with a face full of wariness, then said to me, "In the future, if you want to find your boyfriend, bring him over for mom to see, I'll help you check. "But not now. Be good, you know?"
"Alright." I agreed.
Li Ao laughed happily, teasing the Aunt Yun, "Glittering Flower just turned 22 years old, she is now at the legal age for marriage, so she can't be considered a child anymore. She should be at the age to get married to her boyfriend."
Aunt Yun exclaimed, "What? Is it your birthday? "
"A few months ago."
"Why didn't you tell mom? Did I say I was going to give you a birthday present, or did you just treat me like your mother?" The Aunt Yun pouted discontentedly, like a child, angry at me.
"Mom, actually, you've already given me a lot of gifts. Christmas Day is my birthday." Previously, on a whim, she gifted me half of the very precious jewelry in the drawer, which I secretly returned to her after asking Secretary Du to do it. If she knew that I had celebrated my birthday, then I wouldn't be able to bear it.
"How can Christmas and birthdays be confused? I must give you another one." Then, the Aunt Yun started to get tangled up about this matter.
According to Li Ao, when he was sending Aunt Yun home, she had been conflicted over this issue. It was only when he saw him off that she had an idea and said that he wanted to give him an unparalleled gift.
As for what Aunt Yun wanted to give me, I don't know, because ever since I ran away from home, I got so sick, making Mr. Dong very angry, her phone was confiscated, and she never contacted me again. It wasn't until I attended HN TV's New Year's concert, and met Li Ao backstage, that I found out from him that Secretary Du said a week ago that he contracted a disease, and it was pretty serious, and that he didn't know anyone, and was sent by Mr. Dong to another country to be treated.
I'm sorry, I was thinking of having a New Year's Eve dinner with her.
"Oh right, Secretary Du said that he had the thought of asking to meet you … …" Halfway through Li Ao's words, Zhou Jin came out of nowhere and interrupted our conversation.
"RIO, I have something to talk to you about."
Without saying a word, Zhou Jin grabbed Li Ao's shoulder and dragged him out from the backstage.
Li Ao didn't finish his sentence. I could roughly guess that Secretary Du wanted to invite me to meet him. It might be because he had matters to discuss with me regarding the Aunt Yun.
While the assistant was helping me take off my makeup, I took out my cell phone, found the Secretary Du's cell phone number and called him. He was probably busy, so he didn't pick up the phone.
After sending the message, I kept my phone. When I looked up, I saw a figure in the mirror that I didn't want to see.
Ignoring my eyes that were rolling in the sky, Zhou Jin sat on the makeup table and knocked on the table: "Sister-in-law, what happened between you and Kanagol?"
"None of your business." I stood up and said to the assistant A Ling behind me, "Help me get my jacket, let's go."
"Don't! It wasn't easy to meet such a busy person like you. Don't you want to give me a chance to chat?" Zhou Jin pressed on my shoulder, and displayed a smile that he thought was a very handsome one, "I have something to discuss with your Miss Eyre, go watch outside, don't let anyone who isn't important come in."
"Sister Yi?"
"Ignore him, take the clothes." I raised my eyebrow and unceremoniously poked the hand Zhou Jin was putting on my shoulder. I said very politely, "Please get the hell away from me."
Zhou Jin felt the pain and retracted his hand. His voice was not loud as he yelled at me, "Hey, I say, how have I offended you? I don't know who Kanagol hates him the most, no wonder he kept hearing rumors about you two breaking up, who could stand a girlfriend like you! "
"How I act as a girlfriend is my own business. Li Ao doesn't steal nor steal nor deceive girls' feelings, he does honest business, why should I hate him? Besides, what kind of person are you? Do you not have any points in your heart? Is she even worthy to be compared with him? "
"What a venomous mouth, but why do I like your words so much?" Although his words were unpleasant to hear, Zhou Jin was not angry at all, and was just as despicable as before.
Disgusting.
However, I didn't have the time to pay more attention to him when I was in a hurry to rush back to the office to participate in the annual party. A Ling brought my jacket over to me and put it on.
Not long after leaving the house, he bumped into Gao Kan who was walking in his direction.
However, I was too focused on looking at my phone that I didn't notice him until the girl beside me sighed in envy, "Wow, wink, Director Gao is here to pick you up!"
Only then did I realize that I had raised my head. I saw Gao Kan walking towards me with a crowd of people surrounding him. He was dressed in formal attire, his posture was elegant and relaxed.
The female guest's eyes were filled with admiration.
This was the first time we had met after quarreling about Li Ao. Usually, other than maintaining our relationship on WeChat, we didn't even say anything serious.
When I saw him, I was stunned for a dozen seconds. Then I quietly came back to my senses, put on a polite and thoughtful smile, and continued to walk towards him as if nothing had happened.
In an instant, he did not know how he smiled as he faced Gao Kan.
What if he was just passing by because of something else?
Gao Kan's expression did not change at all. When he was fifty centimeters away from me, he stopped his conversation and pointed at his hands. Then, he reached out his hands to me, smiled very naturally and asked, "Is everything done?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go."
"Yes."
"Happy New Year everyone, I bid you farewell."
"Happy New Year, goodbye."
I gave my hand to Gao Kan and he held onto me. Under the complicated looks and blessings of the crowd, we left the recording hall.
The atmosphere in the car was rather depressing.
Fortunately, it was a heavy snowstorm that night in the imperial city, and the roads were congested with traffic. The car conditions weren't good, Gao Kan was focused on driving, and I was focused on reading the script.
When the car finally drove out of the sea of cars and onto the highway, Gao Kan spoke first with a depressing tone, "Do you have any arrangements?"
"Let's go back to the company. The annual staff party should be starting by now."
"Except this? Do you want to go home? "
I shook my head. "I don't have a home."
Gao Kan said: "How about, you come to my house?"
"Will Auntie Li's Spring Festival not be at home?"
"I said, my house, my — my dad wants to see you, and my uncle and the rest of them from the jade water. They're here for New Year's Eve dinner."
"Then I better not go." To see his family at New Year's Eve, I know what that means and I can't afford it.
At the very least, the matter of him monitoring me and Li Ao's company has not been resolved. With such a small problem between us, I feel really tired.
"What's wrong?"
"The timing is wrong."
"Hmm?"
"That's it."
"Still angry about what happened that day? I thought... "
His understatement sent me back into a state of irritation. "Do you think it's all over? There are some problems that have not been resolved. They are there, they go around, and they're left behind. But he still exists. "
I didn't deliberately monitor you for your safety. Did you know that not long after Christmas, Wang Dacheng appeared near your apartment, trying to find someone to kidnap you?
"..." When we met tonight, I turned to look at Gao Kan for the first time. "You didn't tell me."
"There's no need for you to know. I just want you to know that your safety is very important to me."
"So what? If you weren't so ruthless in forcing him into a corner, would he have used such a radical method to take revenge on me? "
