Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 457 - 11: The Boss and the Secretary

Qu Fulan couldn’t say much to her mother, so she said, "Maybe it’s something urgent, I’ll go out to take a call."

Mrs. Qu said nothing more.

After Qu Fulan took the call, she returned with someone behind her, carrying a big pile of things like fruits, supplements, and more.

The one carrying the things was Assistant Xiao Cai.

At the level of an assistant, Xiao Cai was well aware of the nature of things between a boss and a secretary; having seen Qu Fulan, he pretended nothing was amiss.

After getting involved with the boss, Qu Fulan had felt embarrassed seeing Assistant Cai for a bit, because he had mentored her when she first joined, like a teacher, and now...

"So many things, let me help with some of it..." Qu Fulan offered to lend a hand.

Assistant Cai repeatedly refused, "No need, no need, I’m a man, I can handle it, you just lead the way."

Being at the level of the CEO’s assistant, one can’t be narrow-minded. Assistant Cai had been with the boss for years and never saw him with any woman. Now, seeing this, who can say the person in front of him won’t be the future boss’s wife? If he doesn’t work hard to form a good relationship, and acts all seniority-like, that won’t do.

Eventually, the big pile of stuff was delivered to the ward, leaving Mrs. Qu stunned.

Of course, Mrs. Qu still expressed immense gratitude to Assistant Cai. After he left, she furrowed her brow in confusion.

"Didn’t your boss already send a fruit basket last time? Why send things again? Are bosses now all this considerate of their employees?"

Qu Fulan: "..."

"Maybe it’s because I’ve been working hard lately, and the boss is showing a bit of consideration."

Mrs. Qu was immediately convinced, seeing her daughter’s hard work and the boss’s consideration for the employees was wonderful.

"From this, it seems your boss is a nice person. Your hard work is worth it."

Assistant Cai bringing so many things naturally attracted the attention of other patients in the hospital, especially Mrs. Qu’s next-door patient, who couldn’t help but come over and sigh.

"These days, encountering a boss who is considerate of employees is rare; it’s harder than finding a husband."

Mrs. Qu was in a private room, though more expensive, it was convenient in many ways, and she could visit and chat when bored. The hospital was crowded, and a patient next door had left, quickly replaced by a woman around Mrs. Qu’s age. In just two days, they were chatting up a storm.

Every time Qu Fulan bought something, she’d share with the neighbors, as she wasn’t often at the hospital. Someone to chat with her mother was much better than she could provide, so maintaining good relationships was necessary.

Though Mrs. Qu was happy her daughter had a considerate boss, her daughter’s boyfriend neither visited nor sent anything, unlike her boss. It wasn’t about being materialistic, but a matter of attitude.

It seemed the boyfriend’s family had good conditions, but not much towards the daughter.

After the patient left, Mrs. Qu subtly reminded her daughter that if the other party was indifferent to her, there wasn’t a need to insist.

Qu Fulan understood but pretended not to.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qu thought her daughter was deeply infatuated, feeling quite helpless. It’s common for young people to be troubled by emotions, not easily stopped by a few words from elders.

So, Mrs. Qu could only repeatedly remind her daughter, dating is fine, but don’t cohabit too early.

Qu Fulan felt embarrassed from the talk.

"It’s always been difficult for women, many things happening to men aren’t an issue, but for women, it is. You need to learn to protect yourself, or you’ll end up at a disadvantage."

Qu Fulan quickly said, "I know in my heart, Mom, no need to worry."

The boss once suggested cohabiting, but she didn’t agree. Though she felt there was no fate with the boss, so she declined, but even if it were another man, she wouldn’t easily cohabit; it’s a personal habit, can’t help it.

When leaving the hospital, it was already ten in the evening. Qu Fulan still had to shower, wash her hair, put on a face mask, and would probably be busy until midnight.

Upon reaching the hospital downstairs, she saw a tall and slender man standing by the car, one hand in his pocket, another holding the phone. Even at night, the hospital lights were bright, and under the neon lights, that slender silhouette left Qu Fulan slightly dazed.

Seeing beauties under the lights is beautiful, and seeing men under the lights is more handsome.

Qu Fulan faced the boss every day and had become immune to his handsome face, but just now she had a fleeting heart flutter.

"Boss, what are you doing here?" She approached after he finished the call.

"I’m waiting for you." The boss’s tone was calm.

Qu Fulan: "..." She understood where that heartbeat sensation came from earlier.

"Since you were here, why didn’t you come up?"

He hadn’t mentioned coming in the earlier call, only said Assistant Cai brought something over.

"You said your mother isn’t accustomed to strangers."

So he waited downstairs, just let the assistant take the things up.

After all, delivering things and leaving is quick; if it were a formal visit, it’d come with many hassles.

Qu Fulan was unsure of what to say.

At this moment, she felt the always clever boss had a kind of honest and straightforward vibe, although his demeanor was certainly not that, being shrewd and far from straightforward in reality, just suddenly having this feeling.

And there was an unexplainable touch of emotion and guilt.

Just a little, not much.

Otherwise, if every man waited for her, she’d be touched by everyone?

But with the current relationship with the boss, she knew it wasn’t possible, so she hadn’t thought of giving much, but the boss didn’t think the same.

He brought her home, cooked meals, sent fruit baskets; he was trying to cultivate feelings in his way.

And she, standing still.

"Let me treat you to a late-night snack." Qu Fulan’s way of expressing gratitude was to offer a meal.

"I never eat late-night snacks." The boss refused decisively.

"..."

Boss, like this, you probably won’t find a wife in the future, such a straight man, even if refusing, it should be more gentle, don’t leave no room for negotiation.

How awkward is it for the girl?

"Then will you watch me eat?" Rarely, Qu Fulan teased.

The boss gave her a look, having a vibe similar to the Drizzle Needle.

Qu Fulan immediately managed a grin, "Just kidding, just kidding."

After getting in the car, the boss asked where to eat, but Qu Fulan didn’t feel like eating anymore.

"Actually, I’m not hungry."

The boss gave her an expressionless look, "Lying is a bad habit."

Qu Fulan: "..." Steel-hearted straight man boyfriend, whoever wants him can have him!

She wouldn’t serve him anymore!

Internally complaining like no other, she softly said, "Thank you, boss, for the advice, I’ll be careful in the future."

Not even wanting to defend herself.

"Didn’t I tell you to call me Si?"
