How did she know?
Â
Jiang Wanhe’s smile nearly faltered.
Â
“President Jiang…”
Â
A woman called out to him from nearby.
Â
Jiang Wanhe pressed his lips together and fled as if escaping.
Â
Before leaving, he tossed out a line: “Glad you’re okay. I have work to attend to.”
Â
Tsk. Those with guilty consciences always fear others uncovering their secrets.
Â
Watching the two leave the restaurant, Jiang Wanhe saw Yu Zhi off at the entrance before striding into the company without a backward glance.
Â
With the crowd dispersing, Jiang Ciqiu finally noticed the woman in professional attire standing not far away.
Â
She wore frameless glasses on the bridge of her nose, her long black hair tied low at the back.
Â
Arms crossed, she studied Jiang Ciqiu with keen interest.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu was certain she didn’t know this woman, but remembering the troublesome woman still behind the door, she dismissed the thought of asking.
Â
Just then, a loud crash came from behind the door—the sound of scattered objects tumbling.
Â
“Damn, seriously?!”
Â
The observing woman’s gaze froze before she strode over.
Â
Meanwhile, Jiang Ciqiu swiftly turned the handle and pushed the door open. A faint cloud of dust rose inside, where a towering stack of goods had collapsed, some still sliding precariously.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu rushed in and pulled out the woman who was leaning against the wall, balancing on one foot.
Â
Chu Han limped out with her.
Â
By then, the professional woman had reached the doorway. Her eyes sharpened as she asked Chu Han, “Are you okay, Xiao Han?”
Â
Chu Han shrugged and pointed at her right leg—she could no longer stand on it.
Â
The woman immediately said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Â
Still supporting Chu Han, Jiang Ciqiu insisted, “I’m coming too.”
Â
The restaurant manager approached, ready to claim partial responsibility for the accident, but Jiang Ciqiu refused.
Â
Before getting into the car, she waved them off. “This is my responsibility. Stay out of it.”
Â
Hearing this, the driver’s brows lifted slightly in surprise, but she said nothing, starting the car and heading straight for the hospital.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu guessed the two were likely friends but had no interest in asking the woman’s name.
Â
The entire ride, she was restless, her eyes fixed on Chu Han’s leg.
Â
“Probably fractured,” Chu Han murmured, beads of cold sweat dotting her forehead.
Â
Had she not moved quickly, that pile would’ve crushed her outright.
Â
As she spoke, Jiang Ciqiu’s frown deepened.
Â
Chu Han added, “If you hadn’t dragged me in there and made me wait, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu: “I already feel guilty enough.”
Â
“A fracture means a cast. I won’t be able to walk properly for months…”
Â
“I said I feel guilty! Can you stop rubbing it in? I’ll cover your medical bills.”
Â
Chu Han smirked. “Just the medical bills?”
Â
“…What else do you want?”
Â
“Not being able to walk means my mobility is severely limited. I can’t live normally or work. No work means no income.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu thought for a moment. “So… you want me to pay you a salary?”
Â
“In short, you’re asking for compensation?”
Â
Chu Han shook her head. “Of course not.”
Â
“Oh… I almost thought I was dealing with another Liu from the club, expecting you to demand two checks next and throw one in my face.”
Â
The pale-faced woman smiled faintly and slowly continued, “It’s more than just compensation.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu was momentarily confused. “Huh? What do you mean?”
Â
“Of course there will be compensation…”
Â
“Ha, fine then. So, you really are going to slap a check in my face.” Jiang Ciqiu opened her bag, muttering to herself, “Go ahead, it’s not like I didn’t slap you earlier. Consider us even.”
Â
“But let’s be clear—be gentle. I’ve spent a fortune maintaining this face. If you damage it, you’ll have to pay, and that would be counterproductive for you.”
Â
“Just based on me still caring about your interests, you should go easy.”
Â
“Eh? Where’s my check? Why can’t I find it? Don’t worry, I’m not trying to weasel out—I really can’t find it. Let me look again.”
Â
Her hands rummaging through the bag were suddenly covered by another’s. Jiang Ciqiu followed the arm up to see Chu Han leaning against the car window.
Â
A strand of sweat-dampened black hair fell across her forehead as she lifted her eyelids slightly, her face unnaturally pale.
Â
There was a reason people called her the “white moonlight.”
Â
At least in this moment, Jiang Ciqiu finally understood why someone might pine after her for so long.
Â
In a quiet voice, Chu Han said, “What I mean is, you need to take responsibility for me.”
Â
“Full responsibility.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu’s appreciation for beauty ended right there.
Â
“Responsibility is one thing, but what do you mean by ‘full responsibility’?” Jiang Ciqiu frowned, hesitating before asking incredulously, “You… you want me to be your maid?”
Â
“Just take care of me until my leg heals. After all, living alone requires more than just money.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu shook her head vehemently, shrinking back in fear until she was practically pressed against the car door.
Â
“No way! Absolutely not! I don’t do caretaking!”
Â
“I can hire a maid for you, have her take care of you. But me…?” Jiang Ciqiu imagined the scenario and shuddered, shaking her head firmly. “Never!”
Â
A soft laugh came from the back seat. Chu Han said slowly, “So what Miss Jiang means is, you don’t want to take responsibility?”
Â
“It’s not that I don’t want to—I just want to do it differently. Isn’t it better if I pay someone to take care of you and cover their salary? There’s no need for me to do it personally, right?”
Â
“Besides, I’m not a professional. A dedicated maid would do a much better job.”
Â
Chu Han lowered her eyes in thought. “You have a point. Maids are professionals.”
Â
Miss Jiang’s eyes lit up hopefully. “So…?”
Â
“So, I don’t mind if you hire a maid after we move in together.”
Â
“…”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu finally understood. She pointed at herself. “So, your real goal is to live with me?”
Â
Chu Han nodded.
Â
“No, what?” Jiang Ciqiu was so shocked she stumbled over her words. “But don’t you hate me?”
Â
Chu Han: “I never said that.”
Â
The woman driving suddenly chuckled.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu glanced at her. “What’s so funny?”
Â
The driver smiled. “I just thought of something happy.”
Â
“…”
Â
The two women in the back seat stared at each other.
Â
Chu Han spoke first: “I just returned to the country with nowhere to stay and no money. If you don’t take me in, I’ll have to sleep on the streets.”
Â
The woman paled slightly and lowered her gaze, exuding an air of pitiable fragility. Yet her straight posture and expressionless face carried a hint of stubbornness.
Â
She looked increasingly like a frail, ethereal white moonlight.
Â
“Don’t you have friends?” Jiang Ciqiu pointed at the woman driving.
Â
Chu Han replied, “She has family. It wouldn’t be convenient for me to stay there long-term.”
Â
“But I don’t have anywhere to take you in either!”
Â
“You’re the young mistress—you must have connections.”
