Chapter 281: Chapter 281

Aunt Wang quickly steadied her, helping her to sit on the sofa. Watching Hua Xiaomo finally close her eyes from exhaustion and lose consciousness, Aunt Wang slowly took a deep breath. "I’m sorry, Miss Hua," she said, "you and President Qi are meant to be. This old woman has seen it with her own eyes and felt it in her own heart! I absolutely can’t allow anyone to tear you two apart!"

From the second-floor railing, Yu Bao witnessed the entire scene. He was somewhat surprised that this steadfast, loyal, and kind-hearted old servant would do such a thing for President Qi.

Yu Bao quickly made his way down the stairs from the second floor.

"Aunt Wang, why would you do such a thing? Hua Xiaomo’s heart... it actually isn’t with President Qi. This might not be useful," Yu Bao said, frowning as he looked at the black-clad woman who had fainted on the sofa.

"Nonsense!" Aunt Wang retorted, annoyed. "President Qi is such an outstanding man. Which woman wouldn’t like him? Xiao Mo is just stubborn, but her heart is sincere and good. She’s never greedy for money, physical pleasures, or status, which makes her far better than other girls. That’s precisely why President Qi truly loves her."

"President Qi is so dispirited because of her. And Xiao Mo actually fell for him long ago. She’s just confused, not yet clear in her own mind who she truly loves. Therefore, she needs help to better understand herself. Since this is the case, we should help bring the two of them together."

Yu Bao fell silent for a moment before looking at Aunt Wang and asking, "What have you decided to do?"

"Simple. We’ll send her to President Qi’s bed. Let them understand each other more; it’s good for both of them," Aunt Wang said, a smile crinkling the corners of her age-lined eyes.

Yu Bao, looking at this seemingly kind old servant who harbored such thoughts, couldn’t help but laugh. "Aunt Wang, I really didn’t see it before, but you have quite a devious mind!"

It appears Aunt Wang, who has been with Qi Longbing for ten years, is certainly not to be underestimated! Yu Bao thought. Her loyalty to her master probably surpasses even my own!

"Go on! You’re just teasing an old woman like me. I’m doing this all for President Qi’s sake!" Aunt Wang said. Her gaze drifted upstairs, and she sighed deeply. "President Qi... he’s lost so much weight lately..."

Yu Bao looked down at Hua Xiaomo without saying anything further. He quickly lifted her from the sofa and headed straight for the second floor.

Yu Bao carried Hua Xiaomo to Qi Longbing’s room on the second floor.

Aunt Wang pulled back President Qi’s quilt, and Yu Bao laid Hua Xiaomo beside Qi Longbing.

At this moment, Qi Longbing’s eyes were closed, and he was deeply asleep—certainly not the kind of sleep that could be easily disturbed.

"Alright, Yu Bao, you can go out now," Aunt Wang said, glancing at him.

Yu Bao glanced at her and said, "Don’t stay too long. Let them get some rest."

"Enough. I’m old enough to know better than you, youngster. Now get out," Aunt Wang urged.

After Yu Bao left the room, Aunt Wang gazed at the two lying on the bed—a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They were such a perfect match!

If Heaven wouldn’t allow them to be together, it would be nothing but sheer cruelty! But even if Heaven were cruel, this old woman certainly isn’t that heartless.

Aunt Wang sighed. "It was a last resort, Miss Hua. I hope you can understand my difficult position! I’ve done all of this for your own good!"

"President Qi... is definitely a good man you can entrust your life to. If you miss out on him, you will regret it. No, I absolutely can’t let you have regrets. I will definitely bring you two together," Aunt Wang murmured. She then covered them with the quilt again and left the room.

Finally, some unusual noises emerged from a certain room on the second floor of the White House Villa.

Xiao Mo... Qi Longbing was somewhat astonished, completely unsure of what was happening. But how did she get here? Hasn’t she always been very averse to me? This is quite interesting. How could *she* be here? So strange.

After contemplating for a moment, Qi Longbing looked at Hua Xiaomo, then stood up, left the room, and went out onto the balcony.

He smoked a cigarette on the balcony, utterly puzzled as to how Hua Xiaomo had ended up in his room. Then, he went downstairs and saw Aunt Wang and Yu Bao standing at the foot of the stairs.

Qi Longbing beckoned to Yu Bao, who approached him. Qi Longbing asked, "Yu Bao, was it you who brought her to the room? How could you do that? If you brought her here, then please take her away now." For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

Yu Bao was startled. Thinking about what had happened with Hua Xiaomo, his expression darkened slightly before he immediately responded to Qi Longbing, "President Qi, I certainly didn’t do that. It wasn’t my doing; I didn’t put her in your room. I have never done such a thing."

"Good that you didn’t," Qi Longbing said after a moment’s thought. He looked at Yu Bao again and asked, "By the way, do you know what Hua Xiaomo usually likes to eat? Or what hobbies does she have?"

Yu Bao found it very strange, not understanding what Qi Longbing meant. But despite his confusion, he knew how to respond. "President Qi, Hua Xiaomo and I don’t usually interact much; I don’t know what she likes or dislikes. If you want to know, you should ask her yourself."

"Never mind, I’ll ask myself. You two can leave," Qi Longbing said, watching Yu Bao. He then returned to the balcony to continue smoking.

He chain-smoked on the balcony, pacing back and forth. How did Hua Xiaomo end up in my room? he wondered. It’s a shame I can’t go into the room right now. Trying to go into the room now feels impossible, and the thought makes me uneasy all over. Forget it. It’s better to just walk around on the balcony. I haven’t been feeling well lately. Sometimes, a bit of fresh air helps clear my head.

I really don’t want to get too serious or invested in certain things; it always gives me a bit of a headache. And yes, I do have a headache now. I don’t even know what I should do. But if I don’t do anything, I’ll feel like I’ve let Hua Xiaomo down. Alright, I really do see her as a friend. And I also think her abilities are impressive; she can even inspire people to make sacrifices for her.

If Hua Xiaomo weren’t my secretary, I’d feel like something was missing from my work. Alright, when she was my secretary, things felt pretty good, and she was very diligent in completing her tasks. No matter what, I should reward her. Yes, she seems to be getting the hang of this job more and more. Although being a secretary doesn’t offer much of a future, being *my* secretary is different.
