Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 460 - 14: The Boss and the Secretary

Assistant Cai told Qu Fulan the truth to make her vigilant. After all, with a boss of such stature, holding onto him wouldn’t be easy.

Speaking of it, Assistant Cai is on Qu Fulan’s side. If this Secretary Qu he trained becomes the boss’s wife, his own life would be much easier.

Otherwise, those rich young ladies in the social circle are all not easy to deal with. Whether the boss likes them or not, he doesn’t know. Anyway, he personally doesn’t like them becoming the boss’s wife. After all, with his status, he has no right to be picky about others, and they don’t fancy him either.

Qu Fulan felt Assistant Cai’s encouragement and support, but she was also helpless inside.

This kind of thing couldn’t be solved by her effort. This relationship was inexplicable from the start, what was the point of talking about effort.

But no matter what, now that he and she are officially boyfriend and girlfriend, he shouldn’t go on blind dates behind her back.

However, she felt a bit lacking in confidence to confront him about it.

Should she call and ask?

Qu Fulan wrestled with it for a while without reaching a conclusion, and then her phone rang first.

It was the boss.

Qu Fulan raised her eyebrows and answered the call.

Half an hour later, Pei Ji’an was sitting in Qu Fulan’s home, completely sinking into the sofa, looking a bit tired.

Qu Fulan was making coffee for him in the kitchen. She initially suggested making something else, but he insisted on having coffee.

In the end, he drank coffee, and she had lemon water.

The TV was on at home, though no one was watching, but the lively TV could always ease a lot of awkward atmosphere.

Actually, except for Qu Fulan herself feeling awkward, the boss was not awkward at all, as shown by him working on his laptop while sitting there.

Yes, he came to her home just to work, which shows how much of a workaholic he is.

On a fine weekend, Qu Fulan didn’t want to work. He was busy with his things, and she with hers.

Initially, Qu Fulan still paid attention to the boss’s expression. Seeing that he was indeed absorbed in his work, she gradually relaxed and started doing what she enjoyed.

Lying on the sofa eating snacks and watching variety shows, or doing some yoga, or watering the plants on the balcony, scrolling through the phone, etc. Anyway, her weekend could be very fulfilling.

Time passed by unknowingly, and when her stomach growled preparing for dinner, the five-person team delivered food right on time, which felt utterly considerate.

"Is this how you spend your weekends?"

The boss asked her while washing hands and eating. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Qu Fulan replied, "Yeah."

The boss then asked, "Don’t you find it boring?"

Qu Fulan: Excuse me?

She also wanted to ask him whether working all day was boring. She was watching variety shows and scrolling her phone; how could it be boring?

Unfortunately, despite her internal complaints, all that came out was that it wasn’t boring at all.

This clearly indicated the gap between her and the boss was significant, and beside the status difference, their hobbies were completely different, which wasn’t a good sign in a relationship.

She didn’t care whether it was good or not anymore.

If she did care, she would inquire about his blind date today.

Actually, without asking, she could also guess. If there really was something, he would have already brought up breaking up with her.

While Qu Fulan was internally tallying the gap and various existing issues between them, the boss’s thoughts were quite the opposite.

He felt her house, although small, had a cozy vibe. After sitting there an entire afternoon, he felt quite good.

During dinner, his face read that he didn’t want to talk, so naturally, Qu Fulan didn’t bother him, and just quietly ate her meal, scrolling her phone while eating, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud at some amusing videos.

Then she got admonished by the boss.

"Don’t look at your phone while eating."

Qu Fulan’s smile slowly faded away, and she silently turned off her phone.

Besides that, he also reminded her not to be picky about food. The meals brought by the housekeeper were nutritionally balanced, and she should eat a bit of everything.

Carrots, onions, and lettuce, all needed to be eaten.

On the surface, Qu Fulan seemed obedient and well-behaved, but she was already cursing inside.

He nagged more than her mom!

Never mind everything else, she genuinely didn’t like eating lettuce!

And bitter melon, whoever likes it can eat it!

"You look at your phone all day; eating some carrots is good for your eyes," the boss gently reminded.

The frustration in Qu Fulan’s heart gradually dissipated. What he said indeed made sense, and she couldn’t be angry with someone who cares about her health.

After dinner and cleaning up, which naturally Qu Fulan did, the boss got a short break before he started working again. He truly loves his job.

But once Qu Fulan was fed, she felt a bit sleepy. Weekend rest is always irregular for her; if she can’t sleep at noon, sleeping in the evening is just the same, and she unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa.

On the other side, Miss Zhang went home and threw a big tantrum, complaining to her mom about how terribly straight-laced the Pei Family’s eldest grandson was.

"I just accidentally broke one of his antiques. Our family has it too, which shows it’s not some one-of-a-kind item, yet he gave me such a sour face, it’s infuriating!"

Mrs. Zhang only laughed when hearing her daughter’s words, "Men don’t like people touching their things. You must also watch your temper; how could you go to someone’s home as a guest and break their stuff?"

Being someone who has been through it all, Mrs. Zhang has witnessed plenty of grievances and vendettas in great families. In her youth, she only saw love and thought it was everything. It wasn’t until after marriage that she realized love is worth the least.

Her daughter is young and ignorant now, so she, as a mom, needs to teach her some sense of propriety.

"The Pei family is doing well, and Young Master Pei is a capable person. If it wasn’t for our long-standing friendship with them, you wouldn’t even be considered for marriage alliance."

Other scions in the circle are all lazy and living off their family’s old money. There are few like Young Master Pei, and the key point is he’s not a womanizer. So, what if he’s a bit cold?

But unfortunately, young people will always be young people, and just a few words from the elders won’t be taken seriously.

Zhang Rongnuan, after facing setbacks with Pei Ji’an, was already planning to regain her dignity next time, vent her frustration, and make him fall at her heels!

Afterwards, she would dump him, let him beg and plead for reconciliation.

The ideas were rich, but reality was harsh.

The man she wanted to conquer was currently working at another woman’s house.

When Qu Fulan woke up, it was already dark. She saw a figure, with his back to her, tapping away, and the entire house was very quiet. She didn’t even know when the TV was turned off; it wasn’t noisy at all, no wonder she slept so well.

"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. Have you been working this whole time?"

"Yeah." A very concise reply, without even turning his head.

Isn’t he tired?

"I’m a bit hungry, shall we go out for some food? Staying home all day gets quite stifling." Qu Fulan suggested, mainly because she wanted to send him away. Him staying at her house this whole time was a dangerous signal.

Luckily, the boss didn’t overthink. Maybe he was also tired from working and needed some relaxation, so he agreed to her suggestion.

But once they were out, she was drawn into his social circle.

However, many around him didn’t know she was his girlfriend, as everybody knew her as the secretary.

She used to accompany him to various parties and events.

Only some friends couldn’t tell, but Zhang Rongnuan could.

That girl holding Young Master Pei’s arm, could she be his girlfriend?

Due to the back view, the face wasn’t visible.
