Chapter 203: 203 days’ big secret

At first, Shao Qing looked at Chen Xu coldly, but as she listened, she became somewhat moved, and her gaze also changed. After a while, she said slowly, “I hope you will remember today’s words in the future.”

After speaking, she turned around and left the house.

Chen Xu watched her departing figure and said nothing more. He was very clear that this woman would not have any favorable impression of him.

Bai Jinxuan had told him that Aunt Shao was already the general manager of the agency.

From this woman’s perspective, her most valuable artist, for the sake of a man, had nearly destroyed her own future. If she said she held no grudge against him, that would be a lie.

Although the crisis was resolved and everything seemed fine, his presence would undoubtedly greatly weaken her control over Bai Jinxuan.

The others around Bai Jinxuan might bless them, but she definitely would not be among them.

If possible, she would certainly not miss any chance to drive him away from Bai Jinxuan.

It was not a matter of personal liking, but purely out of self-interest.

Thus, Chen Xu had not even thought about getting along with her; it was already good enough if things were peaceful in front of Bai Jinxuan.

Chen Xu then stepped out of the room, had just closed the door, and saw that the door of the house on the far left opened, and a young woman in a onesie walked out carrying a trash bag.

When he saw her face clearly, he was stunned.

“Bos… Boss?” The woman opposite was also stunned and stuttered, “You… you… why are you here?”

“Chen Xu.”

The door in the middle, which was ajar, was pushed open, and Bai Jinxuan’s head jutted out. Looking at him, she showed concern. Immediately, she noticed the strange expression on his face, not knowing what he had seen.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, she instinctively poked her head farther out of the door, glanced at the young and beautiful woman standing at the doorway of the neighboring house, and made eye contact. She quickly realized something was amiss, hurriedly drew back, and leaned against the door, her heart pounding wildly.

Could that be Chen Xu’s girlfriend?

As she thought this, her whole body stiffened, and only one thought occupied her mind: what should she do?

…

Outside, when Chen Xu saw Secretary Jin, he was completely bewildered. Her outfit was so different that he almost didn’t recognize her until she called out, “Boss.” Then, he realized she was indeed Secretary Jin.

She lived here?

That was too coincidental.

He was a bit slow to react, and then Bai Jinxuan also poked out her head and made eye contact with Secretary Jin. At that moment, his heart skipped a beat.

Although Bai Jinxuan quickly withdrew, he wasn’t sure if Secretary Jin had recognized her.

He hurriedly spoke, “You live here?”

“Yes, yes,” Secretary Jin was still a bit dazed, pointing behind her, saying, “This, this is my home. How… how are you here?”

“It’s a coincidence.” Chen Xu pointed behind him, saying, “This is my friend’s home. She usually doesn’t live here, just asked me to check in from time to time, and also do some cleaning.”

Secretary Jin, indeed, had seen him coming out of that house, and said in surprise, “That is really coincidental.”

“That, are you throwing out trash?” Chen Xu made conversation.

“Oh, right,” Secretary Jin remembered the trash bag in her hand, and said, “Well, I’m heading downstairs now.”

Chen Xu said, “I still have to stay here a bit longer.”

“Well, see you tomorrow,” Secretary Jin walked to the elevator, her fingers rapidly pressing the button.

Finally, the elevator arrived, and she went inside, turned around, and saw Chen Xu still standing at the door, giving a polite yet awkward smile until the elevator doors closed. Her smile immediately fell.

“Done for.”

She leaned against the elevator wall, on the verge of tears.

Such bad luck to have stumbled upon the boss’s secret like this. Could she still keep her job?

It had been hard enough finding a reliable boss and a promising project. She had intended to perform well to impress the boss and secure a new position in the new company to make a stunning transition from secretary to management.

As a result, this incident occurred.

Think about it, on such a rainy day, Chen Xu had a car but chose to take a taxi instead, which was very unusual. His behavior just now made her feel he was somewhat guilty, and his awkward reaction was definitely because he was doing something he didn’t want others to know about.

Of course, she was just a subordinate and absolutely didn’t want to inquire about her boss’s private life. She didn’t want to know or care whether he was playing two sides.

She had wanted to tell her boss, “I didn’t see anything, and even if I did, I would never speak of it.”

But even if she had said that, would the boss have believed her?

After all, her previous supervisor was the current boss’s girlfriend. No matter who it was, it would be hard to trust, wouldn’t it?

Thinking of this, she almost wanted to bang her head against the wall. Why did she have to go out to throw away trash at that time? A few minutes earlier or later, wouldn’t she have avoided this situation?

“What to do, what to do, what to do…”

Thinking of the nearly twenty thousand monthly mortgage she had to repay and her previous difficulties in finding a job, she felt a bleak future looming.

When she reached the first floor, she threw away the trash and took the elevator back up. Suddenly, she remembered something—the woman who had peeked out from that house looked familiar.

Where had she seen her?

Right, wasn’t it said that a female celebrity had bought that house? Could it be… Bai Jinxuan?

No way?

She suddenly stood up straight, her eyes widened, shocked to realize she had become neighbors with Bai Jinxuan?

She wasn’t a fan of Bai Jinxuan, but discovering she lived so close to a big celebrity excited her nonetheless.

Also, her boss apparently knew this big celebrity.

She remembered Bai Jinxuan calling Chen Xu by his name with an intimate tone, clearly showing they were not just acquaintances.

Having been a secretary for several years, she was accustomed to reading subtle cues and was very sensitive to others’ tones. Although she was shocked at the time, she had still caught this information.

Then, she thought of the recent sensational news about Bai Jinxuan openly confessing love to a mysterious man…

Her expression became blank as she realized she might have accidentally discovered a huge secret.

…

Chen Xu waited for Secretary Jin to enter the elevator before knocking on the door.

The door opened, and he saw Bai Jinxuan looking exceedingly anxious and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Her… who is she?”

Chen Xu sighed and said, “She is one of my employees; it’s just too coincidental that she lives next door.”

“An employee? I thought…” Bai Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly became worried again, “But, she won’t talk about this, will she?”

Chen Xu reassured her, “Don’t worry, she is smart. She knows what should be said and what shouldn’t.”

In reality, he wasn’t too certain because she had been Xiyun’s secretary. More critically, she wasn’t exactly his subordinate; they had only signed a short-term labor contract to discuss cooperation with Jinyun Group, and the relationship was dissolved after that.

However, he didn’t know what else to do. Warn her? That would be tantamount to admitting there was something to hide. Now she hadn’t seen anything, at most she might be suspicious, perhaps knowing nothing. If he went to warn her, it would be a clear confession.

So, he could only watch and wait.

At any rate, he couldn’t let Bai Jinxuan continue to worry; he had to reassure her first.

Frankly, what worried him more was the woman standing by the window, Shao Qing; she had her back to them, seemingly indifferent to their conversation.

But he knew she must have heard everything, and she certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Starting from Secretary Jin, she could investigate his situation…

That was the bigger trouble.

Nevertheless, he was prepared for this; the mine was buried there, bound to explode sooner or later unless he was willing to let go. This was something he must face, one way or another.

Now it was just happening sooner.

He lowered his gaze to the woman hugging him; initially, she had been willing to give up everything for him. He admitted he couldn’t do the same, but no matter the difficulty, he would hold tightly to her hand, never letting go.

PS: Last two days, everyone please check if you have any monthly tickets left. If you do, hurry and send them over, I’m begging.
