Surprise! My Cohabiting Sister is Actually My Fiancée - Chapter 20

Having witnessed the “affectionate display” between the boss and the beautiful young woman, the gossip spread like wildfire through the company’s group chats that very evening, without waiting for the next day.

Office gossip always spread particularly fast, adding a bit of spice to the workday. And when it involved the boss—especially the company’s top executive—there was even more to talk about.

The less than five minutes of footage from the previous day had already fueled a full day of chatter, with no signs of slowing down.

After a day of diligent “cultivation” by the company’s colleagues, the version circulating among those who heard the news late had evolved into: “On a breezy, cloudless evening, a beautiful girl waited outside the company for her lover—our President Jun. Spotting his figure, she excitedly ran to him, presenting a rose of love. Under the golden sunset, they gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, shared a passionate kiss, and finally drove off together.”

These gossip groups varied in size and membership, but they shared one common trait: neither Jun Xizhi nor her assistant were members.

Jun Xizhi was excluded to prevent the gossip from reaching her directly, while her assistant was kept out due to her proximity to the boss, fearing she might inadvertently spill the beans.

But everyone wanted to pry some information from the assistant, hoping to gauge her knowledge first.

So, one day when the assistant passed by the break room, several colleagues called her over.

Because the assistant was close to Jun Xizhi, they weren’t sure if she knew about the girlfriend or if she was deliberately helping Jun Xizhi keep it a secret. They couldn’t ask directly.

One of them cautiously asked, “Sis, have you noticed a girl coming to pick up President Jun every day lately?”

Ever since Jun Xizhi hired a new driver and openly praised her as “cute,” the assistant had been curious about the driver. But she’d been too busy lately, and Jun Xizhi always left late, so she hadn’t had a chance to meet her.

When her colleague asked, she automatically assumed they were talking about the new driver. “Yeah, what about her?”

“What’s her relationship with President Jun?”

“Her relationship with President Jun? She’s his driver,” the assistant replied, puzzled. What’s so strange about that?

The assistant’s straightforward answer was instantly understood by her colleagues.

So she’s helping President Jun keep it a secret. After all the flowers and hugs, she’s still calling her a driver?

Besides, who hires a driver just to ride an electric scooter? Is he that bored?

Since she was helping President Jun keep it a secret, they couldn’t let her know they’d already discovered the truth.

One colleague chuckled, “Oh, I see.”

The assistant asked again, “Did you see the driver?”

“Ah… we saw her from a distance after work that day.”

“What’s their relationship like? How does President Jun treat her?”

Their relationship is incredibly close—like glue, always hugging and kissing.

But Elder Sister, don’t you already know this?

The colleagues exchanged glances, realizing they were being tested.

One of them spoke up, “President Jun treats her… very well. They’re always laughing and chatting. You can tell they have a good relationship.”

The assistant nodded in satisfaction. “President Jun has always been like that—kind to everyone.”

So it’s not special treatment for anyone in particular.

President Jun is kind, but she wouldn’t let just anyone hug her, would she?

This must be another test.

“Yes, yes, President Jun treats everyone impeccably.”

After their conversation, both sides had gathered the information they wanted and parted contentedly.

Colleagues: President Jun definitely wants to keep this a secret. We need to gossip discreetly!

Assistant: President Jun is just kind to everyone. There’s nothing special about her relationship with Jian Suixin!

News of President Jun and her partner spread like wildfire through the company in less than a day. Some bold employees even planned to take things further: they would pretend to walk past the pair when the young woman came to pick up the president, hoping to eavesdrop on their conversation.

This idea wasn’t unique to one person. Soon, the gossip squad joined forces with a larger group to investigate their boss’s romantic life once more.

At the same time, in the same place, with the same group of people, and with the same excitement and anticipation, they waited for the two women.

As they waited, Jun Xizhi finally arrived fashionably late. Everyone’s eyes widened—

Would the Elder Sister be romantic today?

But to everyone’s eager anticipation, nothing happened. The boss sat in the back seat, the Elder Sister inserted the key, and they rode off.

No roses, no hugs, no kisses.

Though yesterday’s kiss had only been imagined by the group.

The crowd: Disappointment.jpg

Their hopes dashed, the group dispersed in disappointment, simultaneously reporting the situation to their colleagues who were waiting for updates in various group chats.

Sad, why didn’t the Elder Sister bring roses when she picked her up today?

Meanwhile, those who saw the message were shocked.

The message itself was unremarkable, but where it had been posted was the problem.

She hadn’t sent it to a small group chat, but to the company’s main group chat.

And not just any main group chat—the largest one, the one with everyone from the highest-level executives to the lowest-level employees.

DANGER!!!

The person who noticed the mistake immediately sent a private message to the comrade:

You sent it to the wrong group! Delete it now!

Ahhhhhh! Sh1t, sh1t, sh1t! Deleting it right away!

Deleted! That scared me half to death. (Wipes sweat)

Huh? It’s still there. Check again?

??? I deleted it! (Screenshot)

Still there!

Huh??? What’s going on?

Oh no, I’m done for.

I accidentally tapped “Delete”! Aaaaaah!

I’m going to die.

Two minutes flashed by, and the message lost its chance of being retracted.

I’m dead.

Rest in peace. (Candle emoji)

Amidst a moment of collective mourning, the gossip group bid farewell to their fallen comrade.

Meanwhile, the assistant who saw the message stared at the screen in shock.

Wait, are drivers these days so bold? Praising someone as “cute” and then immediately confessing with roses?!

Jun Xizhi, who had just arrived home, also saw the message in the work group.

Sad. Why didn’t Elder Sister bring me roses when she picked me up today?

Jun Xizhi was momentarily stunned by the message popping up on her screen, but then a smile curved her lips.

“Elder Sister?” Jian Suixin called out twice, but Jun Xizhi didn’t respond. Turning around, Jian Suixin saw her staring intently at her phone.

Jian Suixin leaned closer. “What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?”

Hearing this, Jun Xizhi snapped out of her reverie and held out her phone screen, her voice softening unconsciously.

“Elder Sister, will I still get your roses in the future?”
