Chapter 18 Home
That evening, Su Yanyi left work on time, which was rather rare for her or, more precisely, she left somewhat anxiously, catching her assistant and secretaries, who were working outside, completely by surprise.
In her previous life, Su Yanyi was quite the model workaholic, rarely indulging in other forms of entertainment and not very fond of going home. Sometimes she would even rest in the office if she worked late. Assistants and secretaries often had to stay late with her, and there was virtually no concept of leaving work on time. So when Su Yanyi left, it immediately sparked discussions among everyone.
"Did President Su have something to do today? I didn't hear about any plans," said one of the secretaries from the president's secretarial pool, clearly surprised.
"You're just out of the loop then. The president didn't have no plans, she cancelled all her plans. Supposedly, she was to attend a business cocktail party, but President Su didn't go and sent Assistant Kang instead," revealed the second secretary, who was evidently more in the know and quite proud to share this tidbit, which she had gotten from Kang Zhong.
"Then what was President Su doing instead?" the curious secretary asked, blinking her eyes.
"..." another secretary blinked, indicating she was just as clueless and curious.
What was Su Yanyi doing? Naturally, she was going home. The System's task was to get Qin Jiran to genuinely smile. Although she had accomplished it once, the thought that he had given such a whole-hearted laugh only because he was laughing at her left her feeling both conflicted and slightly resentful!
So all the way home, Su Yanyi was thinking about how to make Qin Jiran smile. When she arrived home full of enthusiasm, she discovered that the only person at home besides the maid Sister Wang was missing Qin Jiran—he hadn't come back at all!
She was back; how could Qin Jiran not be? It was utterly illogical!
