True to his word, Zhai Cheng came to Song Ge's home with his assistant the next day.
Mother An greeted Zhai Cheng with a beaming smile and led him into the house. Then she started to pack her luggage.
It was the first time for the young assistant to meet Song Ge. Curious, he stole a few glances at her. Although the assistant didn't remember her, Song Ge remembered him. She still recalled that this young assistant had helped her before.
The assistant was carrying a suitcase out when Song Ge pursed her lips and snickered.
The assistant was even more puzzled. This was the president's girlfriend! She was probably going to be the president's wife for sure. Why was she stealing glances at him? Was he really that handsome? He pictured his own face in his mind and compared it with Zhai Cheng's. No way! Had the president's girlfriend downgraded her taste and taken a fancy to his face?
Just as the assistant was daydreaming, Song Ge walked over and patted him on the shoulder, speaking in a familiar tone, "You're Zhai Cheng's personal assistant, right?"
The assistant subconsciously opened his mouth wide. "Yes! But how do you know, Miss Song? We've never met before!"
The assistant scratched his head curiously. Oh no! Did the president's wife secretly observe him all this time? Had she fallen in love with him?
Although he was neither as handsome nor as wealthy as the president, he was hard - working and brave. Come to think of it, he had quite a few merits.
But!! The assistant thought of his president's poker - faced expression. If the president knew that his wife had a crush on him, he would surely kill him. No, this was absolutely out of the question. No matter what Song Ge said, he would never agree. He was the most upright assistant. In his heart, only the god - like president mattered; everything else was just a passing cloud.
The assistant closed his eyes and silently recited the core socialist values in his heart, trying to strengthen his resolve in this way.
However, he not only overthought but also got it completely wrong. Song Ge had no feelings for him at all. Seeing his expressive face, Song Ge laughed even more heartily. She just thought the assistant was even cuter than before and really wanted to tease him.
This appreciative look made the assistant even more nervous. What a joke! Miss Song was looking at him with such a look. She must like him! President, it's all the wife's fault. I'm just a little assistant. It has nothing to do with me! A whole drama was playing out in the assistant's mind.
"Nope! But I can guess. I can even guess other things about you. Do you believe me?" Song Ge had an expression that said she knew everything.
What??? A train seemed to be speeding through the assistant's mind. Had Miss Song secretly inquired about other things just for him? Maybe he should just listen.
The assistant nodded and said expressionlessly, "You can only guess!"
The assistant secretly gave himself a mental thumbs - up. He thought his IQ was off the charts! He was so smart. How could he come up with such a way to reject her? First of all, his expressionless face had clearly shown Miss Song his rejection. If Miss Song was too dull to notice, his veiled words should remind her.
"Okay." Song Ge nodded with a smile. "Then I'll start. You like to drink half - sweet coffee. You like to eat at the Chinese restaurant downstairs of the office building because you think the boss's daughter is very pretty. Also, you like to have Chinese pancakes with scallions for breakfast. Am I right?" Song Ge looked expectantly at him.
Oh no! The assistant thought Miss Song had gone crazy. She had secretly inquired so much about him. Could it be... No way! A bad thought crossed his mind.
That was, Miss Song had approached the president actually for him.
Oh, heavens! What a cheesy plot! What on earth did Miss Song see in him? Couldn't he just change?
Miss Song, the president is so outstanding. Why do you have to take a fancy to a humble assistant like me? Actually, this was understandable. After all, love was hard to resist. But she shouldn't have provoked the president and then come after him!
"Did I guess right?"
Song Ge stood on tiptoe, waiting to be praised.
"Right, right."
Zhai Cheng had been watching the two of them and couldn't help smiling. He walked over and patted the assistant on the shoulder. "Do your job well and ignore her. Your Miss Song used to be a fortune - teller. She likes to make random guesses when she sees people. Don't pay attention to her."
"How can you talk about me like that!" Song Ge shook her head helplessly.
The assistant looked at the affectionate couple and was confused. Had he overthought? It turned out that Miss Song just liked fortune - telling. But he had to admit that Miss Song was really good at it. She had guessed everything right.
"Amazing! Miss Song is a divine being!" He flattered.
"Enough! Hurry up and do your job." Zhai Cheng pretended to be angry.
The assistant had no choice but to pick up the suitcase and start working laboriously. Well, there was nothing he could do. He was the most hard - working assistant after all.
When they arrived at the Zhai family's house, Zhai Cheng directly asked someone to move Song Ge's clothes into his room.
Song Ge felt embarrassed because they weren't officially married yet.
On the contrary, Mother An was very open - minded. "It's okay. This is great," she patted her daughter's arm. "Relax. Mom thinks Zhai Cheng is reliable. You two are more like a couple than many real couples. What's wrong with living together? Isn't cohabitation popular among you young people these days?"
"Living together is good!" Mother An chuckled. "Live together and work harder. Zhai Cheng, Mom is eager to have a grandchild."
"Mom." Song Ge gave her a coquettish look.
"Sure, Mom. Song Ge and I will keep working hard." After saying that, Zhai Cheng winked at Song Ge, but Song Ge just felt embarrassed.
Just like that, Song Ge started living in Zhai Cheng's house. Strangely enough, Song Ge, an outsider, seemed to have a more normal relationship with Father Zhai than Zhai Cheng did.
Zhai Cheng always made excuses that he was busy and often didn't go home. Even when he was home, he always found excuses not to be alone with his father. Actually, Song Ge knew that he was just afraid and didn't know how to get along with his father.
But after all, they were father and son. Such an awkward relationship would only make them a laughing - stock.
Song Ge had to take the initiative to act as a buffer to ease the relationship between the father and son, that is, a peace - maker. Whenever the two were alone, Song Ge would sit aside and observe. When the atmosphere became awkward, Song Ge would stand up and tell some jokes to lighten the mood.
At first, Zhai Cheng laughed at Song Ge for doing something useless. He thought the relationship between him and his father was set in stone and couldn't be improved. But thanks to Song Ge's efforts, Zhai Cheng was proven wrong. The relationship between the two was much better than before. It was more natural, and they no longer felt awkward.
