The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

“…Good morning.” Hai Xiaotang responded after a moment, accepting her current identity.

She sat down opposite Dongfang Yu and asked him, “You said grandfather is fine now, is that true?”

Dongfang Yu slowly lifted his eyes, seeming to detect her uncertainty and unease, he did not immediately respond.

Instead, he gestured for the servant to leave.

Only when the dining room was devoid of people, he nodded, “Yes, he’s safe.”

Receiving his affirmative answer, Hai Xiaotang felt much more reassured.

“I thought about it last night, and there are still some things that are unclear. Why did Grandfather leave a strange photograph in the study when he left?”

Dongfang Yu ate the last bite of his bacon and said, “That was just a ploy to distract them.”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised, “Really? That’s just what I guessed.”

“Is there anything else you don’t understand?” Dongfang Yu stared at her and asked, his patience seemed very good.

Hai Xiaotang looked left and right, leaned closer to him, and asked in a low, mysterious voice, “What is the content of the secret?”

Seeing her like this, Dongfang Yu couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart.

Because he felt like she wasn’t too repulsed by him anymore…

However, it could just be his imagination.

Hai Xiaotang was still waiting for his answer, she wondered, “Can’t you tell me?”

Dongfang Yu, as if possessed, also leaned closer to her, their heads getting closer and closer.

Watching his handsome face continue to enlarge, Hai Xiaotang, who wasn’t feeling anything initially, suddenly grew a little nervous.

Dongfang Yu’s eyes were deep, unwavering as they fixed on her.

At this moment, Hai Xiaotang seemed to see boundless affection in his eyes…

“I don’t know either!” He blurted out suddenly, then got up and left, his gaze, and all his expressions, returning to indifference in the blink of an eye.

As if everything that had just happened was all a figment of Hai Xiaotang’s imagination.

The indignant Hai Xiaotang muttered, “If he didn’t know, why did he act so mysterious!”

Making her think he was going to reveal something explosive.

Hai Xiaotang was speechless for a moment, she picked up her fork and knife and began to eat breakfast. Soon, Dongfang Yu, who had put on his coat, walked in and handed her the cell phone she had left at the banquet site.

“Here’s your phone. But remember, even when you’re talking to me, you can’t mention anything about Grandfather, understood?”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Understood.”

She couldn’t help but ask again, “Do I have to stay at home every day and can’t go anywhere?”

“No. You can move freely, but also try to be as safe as possible.”

“Alright.”

“Call me if you need anything.” Dongfang Yu reminded her again.

“Okay.” Hai Xiaotang obediently nodded.

Such an obedient girl made Dongfang Yu feel an urge to pat her head.

But he held back. He clenched his itchy palm into a fist and turned to leave. Hai Xiaotang did not see his lingering reluctance as he walked away.

She was now turning on her phone.

As soon as the phone was turned on, many messages popped up. Many people had sent her messages.

There were messages from Qiao Ning, her uncle, Hai Lan, Hua Xuan, as well as Bai Jinyu and Tao Yi…

Seeing the messages they had sent, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but remember Dongfang Yu’s words.

He had told her to stay away from them…

Were there really problems with those two?

Hai Xiaotang didn’t know if Bai Jinyu was problematic, but as for Tao Yi, she didn’t believe he was.

She believed that he knew nothing and was just coincidentally assigned to the mission that evening.
