Seeing that Song Ge said nothing, Zhai Cheng was extremely anxious.
Just as the two were at a standstill, someone came in from outside.
The assistant finally managed to figure out something about that app, so he immediately rushed over to tell her. "Miss Song, I know what that blind - date app is all about. It..."
The assistant's words suddenly stopped because he saw Zhai Cheng standing beside them. He instinctively covered his mouth.
Zhai Cheng glanced at Song Ge and then at the assistant, asking, "What blind - date app?"
The assistant quickly covered his mouth, realizing he had said the wrong thing. "It's just that Miss Song recently said she wanted to study blind - date apps to increase the company's revenue."
Hearing the assistant's words, Song Ge relaxed the tense string in her heart. The assistant was really smart.
Zhai Cheng was half - believing and half - doubting but didn't say anything more.
The assistant pretended to take out his phone, randomly opened a picture, and pretended to discuss it with Song Ge.
Song Ge also pretended to respond. The two discussed as if they were really doing business.
After Zhai Cheng left, Song Ge heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you're smart."
"I was almost scared to death." It was the first time the assistant had lied to Zhai Cheng. He didn't know what his fate would be if the president found out.
Song Ge patted the assistant on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Since you've helped me so much, I won't treat you badly."
The assistant could only nod, pinning all his hopes on Song Ge. After a while, he remembered to tell Song Ge the information he had investigated.
Song Ge became even more worried. She must find a way to help Wu Yilan.
The next day, Zhai Cheng went to work. After much thought, he always felt that something was off about yesterday's incident. He specifically called the assistant over.
The assistant felt guilty whenever he saw Zhai Cheng now.
Zhai Cheng asked casually, "Do you have anything to hide from me?"
The assistant suddenly looked up and denied it. "No." After a pause, "President, why do you ask this?"
Zhai Cheng put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and looked calm.
"Do you know how I punish liars?"
The assistant trembled and shook his head.
Zhai Cheng undid the buttons on his cuffs, his eyes sharp. "First, cut off his hands and feet..." As he said this, he looked at the assistant's hands.
The next second, he reached out and made a slashing motion on the assistant's hand.
"Cut them off."
The assistant shivered all over but still forced a smile.
Zhai Cheng retracted his hand. "Then, gouge out his eyes."
The assistant instinctively covered his eyes and then gave an awkward smile.
"Then, throw him into a desolate place to fend for himself." After Zhai Cheng finished speaking, he returned to his seat, crossed his legs, and said calmly, "I'll ask you one more time. Do you have anything to hide from me?"
Just thinking about what Zhai Cheng had said, the assistant was so scared that he immediately confessed. "I'll tell you. The blind - date app we talked about with Miss Song yesterday wasn't for work." He sighed and silently prayed in his heart that Song Ge wouldn't blame him. "It's because Miss Song's best friend met a man on the blind - date app. Miss Song thought it was unreliable, so..."
Zhai Cheng nodded, roughly understanding. "You can go out."
Seeing that Zhai Cheng didn't seem to want to punish him, the assistant quickly slipped out.
Zhai Cheng sighed. Song Ge was always like this. Whenever something happened, she always tried to handle it alone. He wanted to share the burden with her.
After the assistant went out, he immediately called Song Ge. "Miss Song, the cat's out of the bag."
"Ah?" Song Ge was stunned at first and then had to accept her fate. "I see." After hanging up the phone, she thought it didn't matter. It was okay for Zhai Cheng to know.
She just didn't expect Zhai Cheng to come back at this time.
"Why are you back?"
"I'm taking you somewhere." Zhai Cheng directly pulled Song Ge into the car and drove away.
Song Ge wanted to ask Zhai Cheng where they were going, but seeing his not - so - good expression, she didn't ask.
The car finally stopped at the entrance of Wu Yilan's residential area.
"What are we doing here?"
Zhai Cheng still didn't say a word. He took the phone from Song Ge's bag and called Wu Yilan. Wu Yilan quickly came down.
"Song Ge, why are you here?"
Before Song Ge could speak, Zhai Cheng spoke first.
"Hou Chenyi has a child."
Wu Yilan was completely stunned. Since Zhai Cheng came and directly said this, she forced a smile and looked at Song Ge. "What is he talking about?"
Zhai Cheng spoke again, looking cold. "I'll say it one more time. Hou Chenyi already has a child. As for your relationship with him, you can figure it out by yourselves."
The smile on Wu Yilan's face gradually stiffened. She looked at Song Ge as if seeking confirmation. "Is what he said true?"
Seeing Wu Yilan like this, Song Ge felt really heart - broken. But it was also a fact, so she could only nod.
Wu Yilan suddenly laughed. "Come on, you two came all the way here to play a joke on me. It's not funny at all."
Song Ge knew that Wu Yilan was having a hard time accepting this. "Yilan, I've hesitated for a long time about whether I should tell you. I just don't want to see you get hurt."
Tears suddenly welled up in Wu Yilan's eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing her like this, Song Ge didn't know what to say to comfort her.
"Let her think it over by herself." After saying that, Zhai Cheng pulled Song Ge into the car and left.
After getting in the car, Song Ge thought for a long time and then started to speak. "I think what you did was too hasty. What if Yilan can't accept it?"
"Only in this way can she sober up a bit." After a pause, "She'll have to know about this sooner or later. It's better to know earlier."
Song Ge thought Zhai Cheng's words made sense, but she was still very worried about Wu Yilan. After all, it was the first time she had seen her be so serious about someone.
Thanks to the treatment, Zhai Qintian's health was getting better day by day. In a few more days, he would be able to be discharged from the hospital.
On this day, Song Ge and Zhai Cheng went to the hospital to visit Zhai Qintian together.
"My health is almost fully recovered. I wonder if I can attend your wedding after I'm discharged from the hospital." Zhai Qintian gave strong hints.
Song Ge was completely confused, but Zhai Cheng immediately understood what Zhai Qintian meant. However, he didn't say anything. After all, they had been through so much together, and it seemed that getting married or not didn't really matter.
Seeing that Song Ge didn't understand, Zhai Qintian directly made it clear. "Song Ge, after I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go with you to visit your parents and set the date by the way."
"Ah?" Song Ge blushed the next second. Although it was only a matter of time before they got married, she still felt shy when it was suddenly brought up.
"Dad, let's talk about this later. We're not in a hurry to get married."
Hearing this, Zhai Qintian got anxious. "You're not in a hurry, but I am!" He was thinking about when he would be able to hold his grandson.
"Uncle, let's just let things take their natural course."
