Xie Li uttered, "Don't worry about him," and didn't offer any further opinions. With just a nudge from his toe, he knew Siqi must have gone to see Shen Xiyue directly. However, the subsequent plot took a turn straight out of a melodramatic romance novel.

Xiyue ran away. More precisely, she disappeared after arguing with Siqi that afternoon. Siqi looked for her for a few days, but then Xie Junhe’s men found him and sent him directly abroad to study.

Curious about Xiyue's disappearance, Xie Li had Gao arrange for people to investigate.

On his desk lay Xiyue's recent itinerary. If Siqi couldn't find her, surely Gao couldn't either?

Xie Li chuckled inwardly as he pointed to the documents. The plot was quite classic: a quarrel between the main couple, the male lead being forced to study abroad due to family pressure, and the female lead running away with the ball.

Yes, Xiyue was pregnant. And the one who helped her run away was the owner of the Nightfall KTV where she worked, a complete stranger, as Xie Li noted from the photos.

"Interesting."

Xie Li confirmed that the current development differed from the original text. In the original, there was no plotline of Siqi being forced to study abroad, let alone Xiyue running away.

But it must be said, this development had that flavor.

Because Xie Jun and the old man's men took Siqi away without even letting Jiang Yuying see him off, she worried for a few days. But this morning, Xie Li pulled Jiang Yuying along, preparing to go together.

Jiang Yuying looked puzzled, "Husband?"

"You're supposed to be my secretary, right? Since Siqi's gone, his position is empty, so you fill it," Xie Li said, leading Jiang Yuying into the car. It occurred to Jiang Yuying then that this was indeed the case. She had been excited at first, but after a few days with no follow-up, she thought Xie Li was just bluffing.

When Xie Li brought it up again, she became nervous. Jiang Yuying smoothed her clothes with the hand not caught by Xie Li and asked, "Is my outfit appropriate?"

Jiang Yuying looked quite nice today. With October rolling in, the weather was getting cooler, so she wore a snug long-sleeved dress with a loose-knit shawl on top, paired with stockings and high heels in the same color as the shawl. Overall, she looked like a standard lady of high society, not at all suited for business attire.

"You're the boss's wife. Anything suits you," Xie Li's words made Jiang Yuying beam with joy, and all her little reservations disappeared.

She hadn't resisted Xie Li's pulling very hard, and now that all the unease was gone, she let herself be pulled into the back seat. Before leaving, she made sure to bring her female secretary along. After lowering the window a bit, Jiang Yuying instructed her secretary about what she needed to bring, and only then did the car slowly start up and leave the Xie family mansion.

While Jiang Yuying was giving instructions to her secretary, Xie Li couldn't help but inwardly grumble. No wonder they said women have a lot on their minds. Jiang Yuying was supposed to come to work as his secretary, yet she brought her own secretary along.

—Who says she's not a high-class lady?

Jiang Yuying was already feeling excited in the car, and by the time they arrived at the company's underground parking lot, she was visibly nervous. She couldn't help but adjust her clothes and then asked Xie Li, "Is my makeup still intact?" She looked at herself worriedly in the phone screen.

After a while, still with a hint of reproach, Jiang Yuying scolded Xie Li, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me last night, I would have definitely gotten up early to change my clothes and do my makeup properly."

As Jiang Yuying complained, Xie Li had already opened the car door and gotten out. Gao had opened the door on Jiang Yuying's side, and after Xie Li closed his door, he walked around to Jiang Yuying's side, and Gao stepped back a bit.

Leaning against the door frame, Xie Li bent down slightly. "Alright, you're beautiful enough. Let's get out of the car." He extended his hand into the car, and Jiang Yuying stopped complaining, putting her hand on top of Xie Li's before stepping out of the car.

When they reached the elevator lobby, another assistant had already pressed the elevator button. Xie Li walked ahead, and Jiang Yuying walked beside him, linking her arm with his. When they reached the elevator, Xie Li finally remembered that ladies go first.

He reached out to hold the elevator door, letting Jiang Yuying enter first before following. After Assistant Gao entered and pressed the floor button, he stood to the side.

As a special assistant, Gao was exceptionally competent. Despite the boss suddenly bringing his wife to work without notice and making her a his secretary, Gao had already instructed his subordinates to quickly set up an office space for the boss's wife on the way.

Because of this, the entire secretary's office knew: just as one little boss left, the boss's wife arrived, and their office wouldn't have any peaceful days anymore.
