Ch. 71..75: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife Chapter 71-75

Chapter 71: To Be Triumphant

Proofread by Peter Gong

Yu Fei is too furious to say a word, staring at Wang Feng in place silently. But her stare isn't taken into account by Wang Feng at all. Taking out a file from her bag, she throws it on the tea table. "This is the divorce agreement. Don't dawdle. Sign it quickly!" Not expecting the full preparation Wang has made, Yu Fei does not get angry, and sneers, "Why should I sign? This is a private affair between Ko Chen and me. Whether I sign or not depends on my mood. What qualifications do you have to demand me?" Yu Fei's tough attitude stuns Wang Feng for a second in that Yu Fei was always meek and has never contradicted her this way.

Wang Feng's anger is immediately fueled so much that her image is totally ruined by her standing with her arms akimbo, roaring at Yu Fei, "Because I'm your father's wife!" But in Yu Fei's eyes, the woman is just like a clown whose every word is ridiculous. She looks at Wang Feng calmly, "yes, you are my father's wife. So what?" Wang Feng and Yu Yu are merely somewhat familiar strangers since she was married to Ko Chen to save Yu Company three years ago when her father died. After these events, she won't tolerate them if she does not take into consideration the fact that Yu Yu is her father's daughter.

Maybe it's because she senses Yu Fei's different attitude, her attitude also switches. Rolling her eyes, she puts on a big smile and walks forward to grab her hands for the purpose of looking close with her. "Fei, it's not me, your step-mother, cheat you. I just feel unjust for you that Ko Chen turns against you after your pregnancy. Such a man isn't worthy of your love. Sign the divorce agreement as early as possible, and you can find a man who truly loves you and treats you well as soon as possible."

There is only one real meaning in her long earnest speech. That is to make Yu Fei sign the agreement. With her head lowered, Yu Fei withdraws her hands to grope her underbelly which hasn't shown obvious pregnancy yet. To her baby she gives a gentle smile which instantly disappears the moment when she raises her head.

Looking at Wang Feng expressionlessly, Yu Fei says word by word seriously, "Considering you are my elder, I just say the following sentence once: no matter what happens between Ko Chen and me, it's a business between us. I hope you won't intervene any more." Her words are so resolute that Wang Feng feels totally unable to argue back. Wang Feng opens her mouth hesitantly, and finally says nothing but one sentence, "Then just be careful for what you choose!" Then she slams the door behind and leaves. The door is closed with "bang", which seems to shake the whole room.

Once Wang Feng leaves, her stiffened body immediately relaxes and she barely supports herself up by leaning against the wall. Although she acted tough to Wang Feng just now, she is actually in panic. Walking to the sofa, she sits down and sees the divorce agreement. Wang Feng doesn't take it away and it's still on the tea table. The two words "DIVORCE AGREEMENT" pain her eyes again and make her feel pretty bitter. Although she doesn't sign it this time, she won't have any excuse for rejection if Ko Chen comes next time.

Her tears drip pitter-patter and wet the agreement in her hands. Crumbing it harder, Yu Fei screws up it into a ball in front of her chest, and finally bursts into cry which echoes in the room for quite some time.

When Wang Feng goes downstairs, she receives Yu Yu's call. She answers it furiously as she was exasperated by Yu Fei just now and she wants to vent her anger on someone. The moment her words are finished, Yu Yu knows what has happened, "She didn't sign it?" "No." Wang Feng answers rudely and what happened in Yu Fei' home occurs to her again and angers her so much that her chest heaves violently.

Yu Yu has been upset by Ko Chen's attitude to her. Originally, she made a plan with Wang Feng to force Yu Yu to sign it first to seek relief, and then she would find an appropriate time to let Ko Chen sign it later. But they didn't expect they would be obstructed in their first step. "What should we do next?" Yu Yu immediately loses her temper and asks Wang Feng anxiously. Yu Yu didn't tell the whole thing that Ko Chen had taunted her, but just said that he seemed to be indifferent to her her recently. Wang Feng instantly freaked out when hearing it and discussed with her daughter and came up with today's plan. Wang Feng looks up at Yu Fei's home with her vicious eyes and sneers, "She didn't sign it? I have thousands of ways to force her to sign."

While the two are discussing how to deal with Yu Fei, someone is checking their information on the other side of the city. It is Tan Lin who is scrolling her mouse to check details about Wang Feng and Yu Yu. During the browse, a sneer appears on Tan Lin's face especially when Yu Yu's three-years-ago abortion is shown. It is hilarious that such a woman will dream of staying with Ko Chen, thus, little does Tan Lin care about Yu Yu in that she believes Chen wouldn't have such a terrible taste.

She browses on, and Yu Fei's photos appear. Seeing her photos, Tan Lin screws up her eyes. Woman's instinct tells her that the relationship between this woman and Ko Chen is definitely not the same as that between Ko Chen and Yu Yu. As expected, she finds that Yu Fei is exactly the woman who was married to Ko Chen three years ago. With cruelty her eyes are fixed on the photos for a long time. And if Yu Fei appears in front of her now, Tan Lin will definitely tear her into pieces, because in Tan Lin's mind's eye, Ko Chen is her own belongings which cannot be shared by anyone else.

Time goes by and the sky gradually darkens. In front of the computer Tan Lin doesn't have any reaction. Lights of the screen shine bright and dim alternatively on her expressionless face. Until the sky darkens completely and lights shine in from outside does Tan Lin stand up slowly. With lights off, she walks to the window in darkness, looking down the moving spots on the road with a sneer.

Although Yu Fei was married to Ko Chen for money, it's impossible for him to keep this woman staying with him for three years if he did not have feelings for her based on Tan Lin's knowledge of him. What's more Yu Fei gets pregnant. Tan Lin crooks her fingers to knock the window, and she thinks even if it is the case, it's not a big deal. She looks outside lifelessly with her voice becoming weaker and weaker, "Ko Chen is mine, and can only be mine." A slight but conspicuously triumphant smile appears on her face.

Chapter 72: A Potential Crisis

Proofread by Peter Gong

Ko Chen rests a day at home reluctantly, then he can't stand doing nothing except for eating on time, which is exactly like the life he lived when he was three years old or younger. The next morning, before sun rises, Ko Chen wakes up early, sitting up in bed in a daze. Thinking of the current situation of his company, he worries inevitably, but his computer that is often used has been taken to the office by Uncle Zhang. This time the relapse of his disease has really scared Uncle Zhang. No matter what he says, Uncle Zhang insists with a tough attitude that he must rest for three days, not a second less.

Taking a look at the time on the phone, he finds it's just four o'clock. The manor is quiet for no one has got up. Ko Chen secretly gets up, putting on a coat and slipping out of the room, then flashes into the study after looking around in the corridor to make sure that no one sees him. Ko Chen is not sure when Uncle Zhang will spot that, so he quickly opens the computer. Waiting for the computer to start, he suddenly laughs. Who can expect that he, president of the Ko company, has been reduced to sneaking in to open the computer.

Before dealing with the file, Ko Chen habitually checks the mail first. Besides the work E-mails from managers of each department, there is a particularly catching mail sent by "Tan Lin". Not sure if this Tan Lin is the one he knows, Ko Chen slightly hesitates for a second, then clicks this mail. The content of the email is very simple, and in it Tan Lin said she had returned home, and asked whether Ko Chen had time to meet her. The cursor stays on the reply button for several seconds, but he fails to press down in the end and chooses to close this page. Then Ko Chen directly deletes this email without hesitation.

After Tan Lin was sent abroad a few years ago by her family to further studies, their contact was cut off. Not only because of the distance, but also because of the obstacles from their families. Thinking of the family, Ko Chen feels his eyes instantly turn frosty. Ko Chen quickly ignores this email and processes documents in every second. Documents piles up for a day's delay, so he dare not waste time, and immediately gets working. Immersed in the work, Ko Chen forgets how time flies. He is unconscious of the brightness of the sky and he is still typing, even when Uncle Zhang opens the study door, standing there and looking at him, he doesn't notice.

"Young Master." Uncle Zhang has to speak for he has been watching Ko Chen for almost 20 minutes but fails to draw his attention. "Doctor Duan said you need to rest. You make it so hard for me." Ko Chen is startled by Uncle Zhang, and he finally raises his head up from the computer. When their eyes meet, they both feel a little awkward. But Ko Chen usually shows no emotion, so in Uncle Zhang's eyes he is calm with no expression. Uncle Zhang takes a deep breath, going over, directly closing the computer and holding it. "You're joking about your life, young master."

Ko Chen knows that Uncle Zhang does that for his own good, so he controls his temper without saying a word, just sitting in the seat silently with no movement. After several minutes' standoff, Ko Chen stands up and walks around Uncle Zhang, obediently returning to the bedroom and lying again. As soon as he lies down, Uncle Zhang brings him a rich breakfast which is neatly beside his bed. Ko Chen waves and says he has no appetite for the time being. As if something occurs to him, he turns over and stops Uncle Zhang who is ready to leave, "Wait, let them investigate the situation of Tan Lin."

At the same time when Uncle Zhang looks for someone to investigate Tan Lin, the latter also receives this information from her hired man. She is not surprised. In fact, since she sent that email, she has been waiting for this moment even with some faint expectations. Tan Lin is very curious about Ko Chen's attitude to her return after they haven't contacted each other so many years, but now it seems that his attitude is different from her expectation.

In Gu's company. Gu Yi is too busy with this financial crisis to come home and he has lived in his company for several days, and finally he manages to stabilize the situation. Lin Miaoxin reports the latest financial statements to him. He is quite different from his usual elite look-tired, black-eyed, with a bristly unshaven chin-but he looks a bit masculine. "Mr. Gu, the company's loss has been minimized." Lin Miaoxin closes the report and finally shows a faint smile. In the past few days, she has been with Gu Yi to deal with all kinds of things, and she looks tired, too. "You've worked hard. Thank you." Gu Yi simply tides up the messy desk with a big yawn. Seeing him like this, Lin Miaoxin feels slightly worried, which is combined with kind of love. Gu Yi doesn't notice her expression.

At this time, the phone rings in Gu Yi's office, and they look at the phone at the same time, then they look at each other with confusion. Gu Yi signals Lin Miao Xin to answer the phone. She immediately understands his meaning, picks up the phone, and asks calmly, "Hello?" Without knowing what is being said on the phone, Gu Yi sees Lin Miaoxin's face slowly becoming uneasy with her eyebrows frowning tightly. Gu Yi can't help wondering who is calling.

After saying "Um" several times, Lin Miaoxin feels relaxed and says, "OK, I will report this situation to Mr. Gu." Hanging up the phone, Lin Miaoxin hesitates for a second, then looks at Gu Yi who looks puzzled and lifts his eyebrows, waiting for her to speak. Lin Miaoxin doesn't speak at once, as if not knowing how to start, brewing for a long while before reporting the contents of the phone to Gu Yi. It turned out to be a call from a new company that offered to work with Gu group. Gu Yi's hands cross under his chin. He feels curious and skeptical about this unexpected call, "Propose cooperation at this time? With us? It's funny. Did he say anything else?" Lin Miaoxin shakes her head, "They didn't offer any information useful, just showed willingness to cooperate, and said they would send the contact number by message." As soon as she finishes her words, her phone rings. She clicks the message. The content is very simple: it contains only a company name, Lin Xiu company, and a phone number. Lin Miaoxin puts her mobile phone in front of Gu Yi, and Gu Yi's eyes stay on it two seconds. "Contact them and find out who they are."

Chapter 73: Reach a Deal

Proofread by Peter Gong

Linxiu Company, the name which has never been heard of before, spreads around the business circle in a day. Except for Ko' company, almost all the major companies have received their olive branches. The emergence of Linxiu company is just like a refreshing rain after a long drought in this special period of financial crisis. Gu Yi gathers the key personnel of all departments to discuss the unexpected business opportunity.

Most people, led by Zhang Le, agree. Only taking a risk can rescue the company according to the current situation. However, there are still very few people who do not agree with it for the large risk which may entail double cost. Both sides stick to their own views. After thinking, Gu Yi makes the final decision to accept the cooperation put forward by Linxiu company.

"The planning department shall draw up a plan and hand to me before tomorrow." Looking at Zhang Le, Gu Yi asks, "no problem, right?" Zhang Le, as usual, has no expression and nods as an answer, and the wordless appearance makes him look modest. Lin Miaoxin gets in touch with Linxiu company, and they will send over the relevant personnel in charge in the afternoon. Gu Yi was still curious before entering the conference room. The collected data shows that the size of Linxiu company is totally inconsistent with what it does and it is just a small company registered before two days.

The Secretary pushes the door of the meeting room for Gu Yi. The two men in suits on one side of the meeting table immediately stand up, and the left one who wears a pair of gold rimmed glasses shows a gentle smile. "Mr. Gu, I've long been looking forward to meeting you." He says as he hands a business card to Gu Yi. Receiving the card, Gu Yi politely glances at it to have a general knowledge of his identity: Li Zeqi, general manager of Linxiu Company.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li" After briefly shaking hands, they sit down on both sides of the table. Although Li Zeqi is totally an image of the business elite, the two dimples on his face soften him a lot. He even looks like smiling when he has no expression. Li Zeqi puts a cooperation plan in front of Gu Yi and elaborates on it carefully. Frowning slightly and listening very carefully, Gu Yi has to admit that the plan is perfect which has no flaws at all and it is not like a plan made by a new company.

Closing the prospectus, Gu Yi looks at Li Zeqi with great interest, and expresses his appreciation straightforwardly. "I can only say that this plan is really perfect, but I want to know why you choose Gu's Company, because you know the leading company like Ko's is far stronger than our company. If you cooperate with Ko's Company, you will surely get more benefits."

Li Zeqi's expression remains as if he has known that Gu Yi would ask such a question and he replies calmly, "as you said, we are a new company, and it is precisely because of this that we choose to cooperate with a company with more potentials, such as Gu's, rather than being oppressed by Ko's all the time." Gu Yi feels no doubt about this reason. After all, what Li Zeqi said is true.

It seems that Li Zeqi has known Gu's attitude towards Ko's, and suddenly he shows a smile of unknown meaning, but there is no softness in his voice, "Besides, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. I think it's not only out company, even your company doesn't want to be lower than Ko's all the time, right?" That's the point! Especially after re-encountering Yu Fei, this kind of feeling comes over Gu Yi more and more strongly, and no one is willing to be suppressed by his rival. As a result, Gu yi immediately makes up his mind to cooperate with Lin xiu Company. "Congratulations, Mr. Gu." Li Zeqi stands up to shake hands with Gu Yi and the eyes behind the lenses are elusive. Getting the news from Li Zeqi that Gu Yi has agreed, Tan Lin shakes the wine glass and sneers coldly.

"I knew that he would agree, all is in my control." Tan Lin takes a sip of red wine and says to herself. At the moment, no one but Tan Lin knows that the local business development will change dramatically because of her. The next day, in Ko's manor.

Duan Qingfeng comes to check Ko Chen's physical condition. A cold look shoots at him as soon as he enters the bedroom. He smiles helplessly and knows who it is without looking. He can understand what the sight means within a second as his old friend. "You just have been in bed for three days, don't look at me like that." Duan Qingfeng pushes the car with various medical devices to Ko Chen's bedside, shrugging his shoulders helplessly.

Without replying, Ko Chen just stares at him. At first Duan Qingfeng can pretend not to see it and normally prepares to check it. However, he can't bear the blazing eyes staying on him for a long while. Putting down his instruments, Duan Qingfeng turns to face Ko Chen, shows a wry smile, and begs jokingly, "spare me, it's my fault, ok? But what I did is all for your health."

How can Ko Chen not know this? It's just because such things as the company's business, Tan Lin's return and Yu Fei are intertwined, but he has been lying in bed doing nothing, and the deep sense of powerlessness overwhelms him. A shade of disappointment flashes over Ko Chen's face, which is caught by Duan QingFeng. Dispersing his joking mind, Duan Qingfeng looks at him seriously and says, "Ko Chen, if you really love Yu Fei, you'd better tell her about your condition." As a bystander, he witnesses clearly that how Ko Chen pushes Yu Fei away step by step, and the result is that both of them are deeply in pain. Ko Chen shakes his head and says firmly, "it is impossible. What could be changed? To let her watch me die? " Duan Qingfeng opens his mouth but says nothing. Although it's unlucky for Ko Chen to say so, according to the current situation, life or death each accounts for 50% probability. No one knows what tomorrow will be like. They look at each other without a word. At this moment, Uncle Zhang knocks on the door and walks in. "Mr. Gu, there is a guest for you." Uncle Zhang looks embarrassed. Noticing that, Ko Chen asks directly, "who it is?" With his words, a charming voice comes in from outside, "brother Chen, it's me."

Tan Lin ties a ponytail over her hair and appears at the door in a casual suit, smiling at Ko Chen, directly ignoring Duan Qingfeng beside the bed. Ko Chen is surprised that he asked Uncle Zhang to investigate Tan Lin the day before yesterday, but she takes the initiative to visit him today. He decides to stay calm and wait to see what the purpose of Tan Lin's return is.

Chapter 74: A Sudden Visit

Proofread by Peter Gong

After all, Tan Lin has a large powerful family supporting her.

Uncle Zhang stands in front of the door, feeling very awkward. He dares not to let Tan Lin in because Ko Chen doesn't say anything.

Ko Chen has a mannerism. He wants to stay in his place by himself. He doesn't like anyone else entering his place. In order to trick Yu Yu, he let her come to his bedroom a few times, which he put a lot effort to endure. Every time Yu Yu left his room, Ko Chen asked the cleaner to do a big cleanup.

It is a bit awkward when nobody talks. Tan Lin pretends not to feel the awkwardness. She goes in without awaiting somebody to invite her.

It is too late for Uncle Zhang to stop her. His hands freeze in a waving gesture in the air.

Tan Lin walks to the side of bed and sits down. She doesn't regard herself as an outsider. She looks at Ko Chen directly with an even brighter smile.

"Chen. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why aren't you excited seeing me?" Tan Ling pulls one of Ko Chen's arms and acts like a spoiled child. Ko Chen saw her information in the data. She is decisive and cruel in work place. Now she acts like a different person.

Ko Chen has no idea what's her purpose. He raises the corners of his mouth and gives a smile. Then he covers her hand with his hand and says gently: "I was so surprised to see you. You were here before I had time to react."

Duan Tsing Fong stands aside and looks at them with a cold look. He knows exactly Ko Chen is pretending like that. He gets goose bumps all over his body, especially when hearing Ko Chen's tone. Standing behind Tan Ling, he shakes his body and makes a face to Ko Chen, expressing that he can't stand it.

Ko Chen pretends not to see him. He fixes his eyes on Tan Lin. And he says to her in a charming tone: "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me so that I could go and pick you up."

Tan Lin seems she doesn't want to talk about this, so she responds perfunctorily in a few words: "I came back in a hurry. I know you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you."

Duan Tsing Fong knows right now he can't do the health check for Ko Chen due to the situation. And he doesn't want to be a third wheel. So, he just pushes his things out and closes the door for them sweetly.

Duan Tsing Fong knows just a little about Tan Lin. She is proud and arrogant since she was a child. She ignores everyone except for Ko Chen. She gives a smile to Duan Tsing Fong reluctantly only because he is Ko Chen's friend. Otherwise she would ignore him.

Duan Tsing Fong can't hear what they talk about now. Looking at the closed door, he gives an ambiguous look. He seems ready to watch the show and takes pleasure in Ko Chen's misfortune. "Yu Yu is already enough for him to suffer. Now there is a Tan Lin. There will be more trouble for him."

Tan Lin is not so easy to deal with as Yu Yu is. If she knows things about Yu Fei, she won't let it go easy.

Duan Tsing Fong knows it, and Ko Chen also knows it clearly.

"Never mind. It's not my business. Ko Chen will solve his own problems." Duan Tsing Fong waves his hand nonchalantly. He gives the medical equipment to Uncle Zhang and leaves with a swagger.

In the bedroom, Tan Lin still holds Ko Chen's arm and talks about everything. She wants to tell him anything that happened in the past years when she was abroad.

Ko Chen feels bored and tired because she keeps talking. But he pretends to be interested and gives a gentle smile. He has a good disguise. No one can tell anything from it.

In fact, Tan Lin is watching Ko Chen's reaction when she talks. She finds out the coldness at the bottom of his eyes. She can tell that his eyes show no love to her.

She squints her eyes a little bit. She hides her cold eyes by lowering her head when Ko Chen pays no attention.

She draws the conclusion that someone has taken her place in Ko Chen's heart when she was not around him the past few years. And that person is probably the woman she tracked down last time, Yu Fei.

"Yu Fei, it seems that I need to take some time to meet her." Tan Lin thinks to herself.

Time passes quickly. It's time for dinner. Ko Chen invites Tan Lin to stay and have dinner together with him. He also asks the cook to prepare a table of her favorite dishes.

As Ko Chen expects, when she sees the dishes, she is very happy. And she says: "You are the one who treats me best."

Her tone is just like the way she spoke when she was a child. Ko Chen is lost in memories for a second. He recalls the girl who always chased behind him. She had red cheeks and her hair was braided as two pigtails. Her blinking eyes were always on him no matter when and where.

"Chen, Chen?" Tan Lin sees Ko Chen is in an absent mind, so she waves her hand in front of his eyes.

Ko Chen comes back to himself. He pretends nothing has ever happened and smiles to her: "Let's have dinner."

Tan Lin notices that his attitude changes. She is tactful, so she stops talking when having dinner. It becomes quiet.

Tan Lin doesn't speak, neither does Ko Chen. He doesn't want to start the conversation. The two remain silent, watching each other's reactions secretly.

When they almost finish eating, Ko Chen puts down his chopsticks and looks at Tan Lin directly. He hesitates for a long while. He doesn't speak at the end.

Tan Lin gives hints a few times that she can stay in his place. But Ko Chen pretends not to get the hints. He asks the driver to send her back.

Ko Chen stands in the window on second floor. He doesn't stop seeing them off until they are gone.

The moonlight is bright outside the window. Ko Chen raises his head and looks at the bright moon. He can't help but think about Yu Fei. He wants to know what she is doing right now.

According to the information provided by his bodyguards, Yu Fei is doing well these days except that Wang Feng visited her once two days ago.

As soon as Ko Chen knew Wang Feng bothered Yu Fei, he asked his people to investigate why she did so. When he found out that Wang Feng asked Yu Fei to sign the divorce agreement, he was so mad that he felt his body pained a lot. Wang Feng and Yu Yu who live in the guest rooms are like a pair of time bombs to Ko Chen. He used to think they could be better controlled when they lived in his sight. But he never knew this would happen.

The evilness of their hearts is beyond his imagination.Out of the frying pan into the fire. Now Wang Feng and Yu Yu look at Yu Fei fiercely as tigers do. Tan Lin also showed her purpose and thoughts when she visited him today.

He misses Yu Fei and also worries about her. The two strong feelings are mixed together tonight. Ko Chen stands in front of the window for a long time. But he still can't figure out a good way to solve the problems.

Yu Fei doesn't know Ko Chen's concern about her. Right now, she is sleeping soundly with her hands over her belly. She smiles gently with the corners of her mouth pursing slightly.

Chapter 75: Home-made Lunch

Proofread by Peter Gong

On the next day, Gu Yi comes back to work at Ko Company with the permission of Duan Qingfeng. Before his arrival, the news that he will come back prevails in the whole company and excites all the staff whose nerves are finally at ease. "President Ko, this is the stock market quotation." "President Ko, this is our latest financial statement. Also as for previous cases, our cooperators have shown their willingness to continue." "President Ko, we have news that a few companies headed by Gu Company unite a new company to make an economic revival plan."... Staff keep coming to his office and sending emails to him in the whole morning. It is already noon before he knows it because he doesn't notice the time when dealing with the company matters.

Ko Chen is a well-known workaholic. Before his secretary goes for lunch, she is considering whether to remind Ko Chen of lunch. There is no reaction inside after knocking on the door a few times and she is scared that Ko Chen will suddenly faint in his office like last time. So she opens the door regardless of everything, only to find Ko Chen is engaged in working at his office table. She tries to call him several times, but he does not react as if his ears were stuffed with earplugs. Seeing this, she dismisses the idea of bringing lunch for him and retreats silently.

The moment the secretary goes into the elevator, Tan Lin walks out from another elevator with her fully-prepared "home-made lunch". As this is her first time to visit Ko Company, she can't help looking around carefully and finds that the environment represents Ko Chen's consistent style: simple.

She knocks at the door of his office, but there is no response inside. Tan Lin guesses that he might go for lunch, because she didn't call to tell him her coming in order to give Ko Chen a surprise. Lowering her head, Tan Lin takes a look at the home-made lunch and decides to put it in the Ko Chen's office, so that at least he can see it when he is back.

She opens the door. Her original thought is to put it on the office table so that he can find it at the first sight when he is back. But unexpectedly, the man behind the office table comes into her sight. He wears a pair of black frame glasses, and when he concentrates on work, his appearance is so charming that Tan Lin loses her mind at the door and it is after a few seconds that she manages to come back to herself. She walks to the office table and puts the home-made lunch on it. Ko Chen hasn't raised his head since she opened the door and entered the office, as if he has not noticed her coming at all. Tan Lin glances at the files in his hands and finds that "Lin Xiu Company" appears several times. An imperceptible smile emerges on her face. It is faint and disappears in a flash.

"Chen? Ko Chen?" She calls his name, but Ko Chen still doesn't have any response. Until Tan Lin walks to poke his arms does Ko Chen have a shudder and leave his work. He takes off the glasses and looks at Tan Lin with confusion, as if silently asking her why she is here. Tan Lin raises the paper bag in her hand with a big smile, "I come to bring you the lunch. I know you definitely won't eat when engaged in work."

At the same time, she sets the dishes. Ko Chen didn't feel hungry when engaged in work before, but now his stomach is growling and he does feel hungry when smelling the smell of the delicious food. Tan Lin passes the chopsticks to Ko Chen. As if claiming credit, she says, "Have a try." Seeing the food in front of him is just for one person, he doesn't eat immediately. Looking at Tan Lin, he asks with his eyebrows raised, "You don't eat?" Resting her chin on her hands, she looks at him with her big bright eyes. Her passionate eyes may make a common person shy, but Ko Chen is not an average man, and he doesn't even miss a beat. Finding that she has no intention to eat, Ko Chen doesn't ask further and starts to eat. However, putting one piece into his mouth, Ko Chen is stunned for a second. He thought it was bought outside, but now it turns out that it is made by Tan Lin herself. Ko Chen is picky about food, so he puts down the chopsticks after tasting it. Tan Lin is absorbed in watching him with her chin resting on her hands. Seeing that he doesn't eat, she asks anxiously, "Why don't you eat it? Is it not good?" Ko Chen doesn't admit it and just says that he is full.

Tan Lin doesn't think much and puts away the lunch box buoyantly, then she sits down on the sofa in the office and starts to read a magazine at ease. Ko Chen is confused for she doesn't have tendency to leave. Thinking twice, he decides to say nothing and lets Tan Lin stay in his office. He is engaged in his work again.

Lunch time is over, and the secretary brings a file for Ko Chen to sign, but little does she think that there will be an unknown woman in his office. Her surprise isn't shown outwardly except for her peeping at the unknown woman. Walking out of the office with the file signed, she is still thinking about Tan Lin whom she just saw. The woman wears sexy and wavy hair, delicate and decent make-up, and obviously expensive branded clothes, which suggests she must be born in a rich family. But soon the secretary shakes her head and thinks that she cares about too much and she should not care about her boss's privacy. So she immediately forgets Tan Lin and concentrates on her work.

In the office, Tan Lin stays in the office so quietly as if she isn't there. She makes no sound except that she occasionally turns over pages. At first Ko Chen would glance at her from time to time, and later he is so preoccupied with dealing with files that he leaves her alone. The office is pretty quiet.

On the other side, at Yu Fei's home, Yu Fei has stayed at home for several days and her bones get sore now. Seeing the sun outside through the window, she feels that every cell in her body is crying for going out. As a result, Yu Fei decides to hang out. She just changes into leisure clothes and ties a simple ponytail, but she is still shining even without any make-up.

The instant the door is closed, Gu Yi calls her. He hasn't contacted her for several days, so she has no idea why he suddenly calls her. She connects it with confusion. "Fei, where are you?" His tender and hoarse voice is delivered from the phone, which unexpectedly sounds kind of Ko Chen's voice. It scares Yu Fei so much that she doesn't respond to him. Hearing no response, Gu Yi is afraid that something bad has happened to Yu Fei and he calls her name aloud hurriedly. Then Yu Fei comes to herself and answers him, which relaxes Gu Yi. His voice is full of love without any blame, "Don't scare me, Fei, everything about you will worry me."
