The Fatty didn't even have time to stop her before the woman walked in.
Carrying a basket of vegetables, the Fatty quickly ran up the steps, but as soon as he ehe studio, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. He saw Jiang g sitting on the sofa with a woman in her 50s, who was like an aunt to him.
The two were embrag, and Jiang g was occasionally patting the woman's back while whispering something.
In that moment, the Fatty felt like he was falling apart.
Perhaps too focused on what he was doing, Jiang g didn't immediately notice the woman in a qipao and the Fatty walking in, which led to the former realizing it only when it was too te.
Jiang g seemed fine when he saw the Fatty, but when his eyes nded on the woman in qipao, his expression ged. He immediately let go of the 50-year-old aunt who was g lightly.
However, he overlooked ohing—the aunt, in the midst , g to Jiang g and wouldn't let go.
The se became somewhat awkward.
After sending off the affeate aunt, Jiang g stepped back, and throughout all of this, the woman in qipao and the Fatty hadn't moved at all.
The former remained calm, while the tter was in shock.
Jiang g pouted and after a long pause finally squeezed out a sentence, "Did you just arrive?"
"I've been here for a while," the woman replied, her voice as clear as the stream beside a cold pond. "I saw you were busy, so I didn't disturb you."
"Hiss—"
The Fatty took a sharp breath. The tone... sounded a bit strange.
Jiang g then turned his gaze back to the Fatty, who quickly reacted.
The Fatty, showing great tact, grabbed all the vegetables and rushed to the kit. A series of "ks" rang out as he seemed to be signaling that he wasn’t ied in whatever they were talking about, as he couldn’t hear it anyway.
Despite that, his ears were perked up, worried he might miss something juicy.
It was now obvious that the beautiful woman in qipao was the dirlfriend!
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t envious, but the Fatty was more happy for the doctor.
The doctor had a good job, was handsome, and smart. Aside from a little bad habit of making flirtatious remarks, everything else erfect.
He hid i, busy for almost an hour. He even held off going to the bathroom just to give the doctor and the qipao beauty enough space.
The fish soup i was bubbling, and the Fatty was carefully preparing dinner.
Finally, when he felt it was almost done, he carried the dishes out of the kit.
That's when he suddenly realized the woman in qipao was sitting at Jiang g's desk, and Jiang g had pulled up a chair to sit opposite her.
The Fatty had seen a simir setup before, when his pany’s leadership faced an iion. It looked almost identical.
Moreover, the sharp-eyed Fatty also noticed several staoney ly arranged on the desk.
"This month's ine is not as much as st month's," Jiang g admitted voluntarily.
"Hmm," the woman in qipao nodded. "Why?"
Jiang g thought for a moment. "Retly, some rich female ts have gone on a group tour to Singapore, Maysia, and Thaind. They'll probably be baext month."
"Names," the woman in qipao picked up a pen and casually wrote on a bnk page in Jiang g’s cherished notebook.
"Cai Mei, Sun Youcai, Fang..."
The woman recorded the names expressionlessly, in a pletely businesslike manner.
The Fatty observed Jiang g’s rea, and it seemed that if he didn’t expin things clearly, there would be serious sequences.
Suddenly, the Fatty’s pupils trembled.
He remembered what Brother Pi Ruan had said when he came for the sed time today. The gist of the question was: "Has Boss Lin e yet? I saw her car outside."
Boss Lin!
The woman in qipao was the doctor's boss!
The Fatty had been so haunted by nightmares tely that his mind had started to wander. He had found many qipaos iudio earlier and had pletely fotten about this.
So those qipaos were... The Fatty swallowed and g the woman in qipao, realizing their demeanor erfect match.
But at first, he couldn't really bme himself fetting it wrong. This Boss Lin and the doctor looked so good together. Anyone who saw them standing side by side would think they were a perfect match.
The Fatty carefully pced the dish in front of the small table by the sofa, where he and the doctor usually ate.
Just as he was hesitating about whether it ropriate to call them for dinner, Jiang g noticed the situation and spoke up first: "Dinner’s ready."
The Fatty echoed, "Yeah, yeah, should we eat first and talk after?"
Before the Fatty could finish, the woman in qipao sat down at the table with Jiang g and started eating with chopsticks.
The two of them acted so in sync, like they were one person.
The Fatty felt embarrassed. He only brought two sets of chopsticks, so he had to go bad get another set for himself.
This diurned out to be the lo meal the Fatty had ever had. The doctor and the qipao beauty didn’t talk, and he didn’t dare start a versatioher.
So, they fihe meal in silenot saying a word.
After dihe Fatty was alone i washing the dishes.
They ate quite te, and by now it was almost 10 PM. Outside, the night was as dark as ink.
As he wiped his hands with a napkin, the Fatty begaing about the retionship between the doctor and the qipao beauty, Boss Lin.
It couldn’t be just a simple employer-employee retionship; otherwise, how could someone as stingy as the doctor be living like this?
As he thought about it, his mind wandered back to the first time he met the doctor, when they spent their first night in the nightmare world.
The luxurious vil hidden in the dense forest.
The family there had a twisted obsession with impriso, especially the two girls in their 20s. The Fatty could still shudder at the thought of the distorted figure crawling out from uhe bed.
Could it be that the doctor was forcibly imprisoned by Boss Lin?
Although it seemed absurd, the thought g to the Fatty’s mind.
Maybe it was a deal after all.
A strahought began to creep into his mind, and he suddenly remembered the clothes Boss Lin had left behind here.
It seemed that some of them were very intimate.
"Glurp," the Fatty’s throat involuntarily moved.
"Fatty!" Jiang g’s voice called from upstairs, sounding a little distant.
The Fatty quickly dropped the napkin in his hand and hurried upstairs. He found the doctor and Boss Lin in the bedroom. His expression turned odd.
"Fatty," Jiang g said, "You should sleep downstairs tonight. You—"
"I uand, doctor, I’ll sleep downstairs," the Fatty nodded vigorously.
He still had some sense.
"No," Jiang g shook his head, adding, "We’ll all sleep downstairs and leave the bedroom empty."
He thought for a moment and then added, "My neck’s been b me tely, and I want to try sleeping on the sofa. You sleep on the floor. It’s cooler."
