If it was Shen Shuna, even if the receptionist had not seen her in real life before, she should have seen her on television or in the magazines.
Hence, he was very sure that the person who sent the clothes over was Shen Youran.
He passed the clothes to Xiao Cheng and asked the receptionist, “Where is she?”
The receptionist replied while trembling in fear, “It’s been a while since she left.”
Ji Jinchuan did not say anything, only walking toward the elevator with big strides. Xiao Cheng quickly followed him and pressed the elevator for him. With a “ding” of the elevator, both of them walked in.
When they went up the elevator, Ji Jinchuan suddenly said, “Give a call to Shen Youran and tell her to come to the hotel tonight.”
…
When Xiao Cheng called, Shen Youran was sitting at a cafe. The waiter had come to take her order, and she was just about to reply when Xiao Cheng called. It was not until she had ordered a cup of cappuccino and the waiter had left did she answer the call.
After hearing Xiao Cheng’s words, she glanced at the people around her before covering the phone with her hand and lowering her voice as it was peak hour. “Secretary Xiao, can you pass the phone to him? I’ve got something to say to him.”
Xiao Cheng replied with a “please give me a moment” and knocked on the door of the President’s office. “President Ji, Ms. Shen has something to say to you.”
Ji Jinchuan was currently reading some documents. Upon hearing those words, he immediately put down his work and raised his head. Xiao Cheng passed him the phone, which Ji Jinchuan placed next to his ear. “What is it?”
During this period, Shen Youran had already rushed to the washroom. Yet, upon hearing his deep and thick voice, she had actually turned speechless.
Ji Jinchuan seemed to be unsure as to whether she was listening to him or not and said a “hello,” after which Shen Youran slowly opened her mouth to say, “I’ll not be free for the next few days.”
Ji Jinchuan could not understand her and leaned back against his chair while his delicate fingers softly knocked on his table. “Are you busy with work?”
Just then, somebody walked out of the washroom and pressed the tap to wash her hands before taking out her lipstick to touch up her makeup.
Shen Youran took a glance at the woman and felt a little awkward before stuttering, “I don’t feel well.”
In the afternoon, her menstruation suddenly came and her stomach was in so much pain that she had to ask for a day off from Chief Editor Zhou.
When she went to work this morning, she realized that she had already brought Ji Jinchuan’s clothes along. Thus, she could only bear the pain and sent it to his office. She initially wanted to rest for a while at the cafe before going home, but she did not expect that Xiao Cheng would call her.
Although her words sounded a little vague, Ji Jinchuan had had so many women in his life. After hearing her hint, he finally understood what she meant by “she was not free.”
He did not have a single hint of awkwardness or discomfort, only raising his hand to look at his watch. It had not even been over thirty minutes since she’d sent the clothes over. “Where are you?”
“I am in the cafe opposite your office.” Her face turned a little pale while she leaned against the door with seemingly no energy left in her.
Ji Jinchuan replied with a “wait there” and hung up the call, making her feel very strange and confused.
She came out of the washroom, and it had not been long since she sat there when she saw Xiao Cheng walking across the road toward the cafe.
Xiao Cheng entered the cafe and slowly walked toward her. He glanced at her pale face and said in a gentle tone of voice, “Ms. Shen, President Ji told me to send you home.”
Ji Jinchuan asking Xiao Cheng to come over right now was just as though he was giving her charcoal during winter. She felt very thankful and thanked him.
Xiao Cheng smiled and said, “You are welcome. President Ji told me to do so.”
After all, all he did was listen to Ji Jinchuan’s orders. Hence, if she really wanted to thank someone, she should thank Ji Jinchuan.
