Chairman Husband, Too Boorish Ch 44: One Hour

This was the annex wing of the largest public hospital in C City. Yan Liang's former home was on the second floor of the annex wing.

When Qin Mu Hua got back from work, she saw there were already three dishes and a bowl of soup on the table. She slightly frowned. She changed her shoes at the entry hall. Not long after, she heard a crisp, feminine voice call out from the kitchen, "Mom, I'm home!"

"Why are you suddenly here today?" Qin Mu Hua tossed her purse on the couch. She turned her head and saw her daughter wearing an apron, standing in the kitchen doorway.

Yan Liang smiled until her eyes curved. Her outstanding looks was completely inherited from the women standing in the living room.

"I missed you." Yan Liang took off the apron. She washed her hands and sat down at the table.

Yan Liang waited until Qin Mu Hua washed her hands and sat at the table before picking up her chopsticks to place a piece of meat into her bowl. She heard her mom's gentle voice. "Is work ok?"

"Pretty good." Yan Liang tuck a few stray hairs behind her ear. Her manner was subdued, "But I got promoted recently. I'm no longer the general manager's secretary. Now I'm the chairman's secretary."

"Ah." Qin Mu Hua nodded. It was also hard to tell if she was pleased or not. "Are you adapting to your new role?"

"------Not too well." Yan Liang shrugged and lightly sighed. "Mom, my new boss is pretty harsh. Furthermore, it hasn't been two days, and I've already made many mistakes. This time he told me to go back for two days and take a break. I'm suppose to wait until he gets back from his trip before reporting in. Can I stay here for two days?"

"Sure." Qin Mu Hua served herself a bowl of soup. She tightly pursed her lips. Soon afterwards, it seemed like she remembered something. She raised her head and looked at Yan Liang. "Tomorrow go behind the mountain to see your father. You haven't visited him in a long time."

"Ok, I'll go early tomorrow to see him."

"Eat more. You've gotten a lot skinnier."

"Mom, you should eat more too. Has the hospital been really busy lately?"

"It's alright."

......

The two women sat across from each other. They didn't say much but rather silently ate. It was almost like profiles cut out of a mold. In the heavy heat, the charm portrayed was tranquil as water.

Three days later.

Yan Hui left her former home yesterday and returned to A-City. Today she specifically got up early just to get to work early.

Liang Xi Cheng was returning today. She committed a lot of mistakes in front of him before and basically finished reflecting on them. From today onwards, she would put in 200% and never make mistakes in front of him again.

After changing outfits, she was just about to leave when her cellphone range. She looked at the caller ID; it was Guan Jiu.

Yan Liang hurriedly picked up, "Assistant Guan?"

"Secretary Bai, where are you right now?" Guan Jiu's voice seemed a bit anxious.

"I'm about to head to work. Isn't Chairman Liang returning today?"

"Yes, Chairman Liang is returning to A-City today, but you don't have to go to the office right now. Go directly to the airport. There's probably a lot of reporters waiting there. Chairman Liang will be arriving in an hour. You have to make those reporters leave."

Yan Liang blanked. She was utterly lost. "Um, Assistant Guan, uh......what exactly happened? Did you say there's a lot of paparazzi at the airport?"
