Tang Xiaohua spoke with an eerie tone, which suddenly reminded Qu Yu of what the Witch had mentioned about a "Goddess."
"What bad premonition?"
Tang Xiaohua was almost exhausted from explaining.
"Okay, okay, I got it—you’re concerned about the President!"
Qu Yu laughed, seeing this as a good sign. He thought of telling his superior, who would be thrilled to hear it!
Tang Xiaohua looked at Qu Yu, feeling that Secretary Qu had misunderstood something.
"On the 28th, there will be an international conference in the administration building, and His Excellency will be so busy he won’t even be able to leave the conference hall, let alone the President Mansion. So, rest easy. By the way... why did His Excellency give you the day off when it’s going to be so busy..."
Tang Xiaohua swallowed, then said quietly, "...It’s my birthday."
Qu Yu immediately understood and then said enviously,
"I’ve never seen His Excellency give me the day off on my birthday, huh..."
Tang Xiaohua was at a loss for words.
However, she had already cautioned him about everything, and on the 28th, Qu Yu said His Excellency would be at the President Mansion all day. She believed there would be no "presidential kidnapping" incident.
With the 28th being free, she could perhaps invite Brother Lu to dinner, and call Lu Xiaoer along.
Xiaoer had just come back from Dongheng half a month ago, and was rushing to finish her master’s thesis, while she herself was tied to Wen Nian 24 hours a day, hardly finding any free time.
She was already silently making plans...
Qu Yu entered the President’s Office with a smile, but the expression on Wen Nian’s face was dark.
Placing the documents in front of Wen Nian, "Your Excellency, you gave the madam a day off?"
"The madam really cares about you. You gave her a day off, but she’s still concerned about your safety?"
"...I’m not lying to you; she even told me when I came in..."
"If she really was concerned about my safety, she would stay by my side even if I gave her a day off. Do you think she would do that?"
Wen Nian looked at Qu Yu who blinked, thought for a moment, then fell silent.
"I believe she wouldn’t just stay, she would take this opportunity to meet with her Brother Lu!"
Wen Nian struggled to suppress his emotions!
Three years ago, he had been disturbed by Lu Ziqing, almost driven mad by jealousy and anger.
Now, even when mentioning Lu Ziqing, he was extra cautious, not wishing to have another conflict over Lu Ziqing with Lili, but...
"Are you saying that you have no confidence in yourself?"
"...What did you say?"
"Your Excellency, I think you are irreplaceable in the madam’s heart."
Wen Nian muttered the crude word, which somewhat eased his irritated mood.
"On the madam’s birthday... isn’t it also your wedding anniversary? Every other year, you celebrated it alone, with a huge cake, lots of candles, and red bellflowers. Are you planning the same this year?"
"Do you have nothing to do?"
"Then go attend to your own business!"
"...Alright, Your Excellency."
Qu Yu hurried out, but before he left, he couldn’t resist turning back to ask, "Really no need to prepare?"
Wen Nian glared, and Qu Yu quickly retreated!
In the office, only Wen Nian remained, his pen tapping lightly on the desk...
In the past, knowing she wouldn’t come back, he could still hope for her return. He would indulge in celebrating their anniversary alone, do nothing all day except think of her, just her...
This year, unexpectedly, she had come back, but he dared not celebrate the occasion.
What wedding anniversary... she wouldn’t acknowledge it.
