Yu Yi said, “Didn’t the Commander scold Gong Lieutenant for A Ju last time? Later, the Commander even drove a car and took A Ju out. If Gong Lieutenant continues to pester A Ju, be careful about your future!”
Gong Shi saw her hinting that Tuo Feibai was interested in her. Remembering the previous time in the living room when Tuo Feibai pointed at his nose and told him to get lost, his eyes narrowed and he coldly laughed, “You’re counting on getting close to him? You’d be better off with me. He’s finished…”
Yu Yi’s heart stirred. She felt his words might be related to the document she found in his study’s secret room yesterday. She was about to ask Gong Shi what exactly he meant when she heard a distant ring, coming from the study’s direction.
Hearing the phone ring, Gong Shi frowned and hurriedly turned to walk out of the storeroom towards the living room. Yu Yi also took the opportunity to leave the storeroom. Gong Shi walked a few steps, remembering he was still holding the hot water bottle, and tossed it towards Yu Yi: “Catch.”
Yu Yi instinctively reached out and caught it, her movement clean and swift.
Gong Shi was unexpectedly surprised: “Quick reflexes!”
At this time, Tuo Feibai hurried down from upstairs to answer the phone. He glanced at Yu Yi and then looked warningly at Gong Shi: “A Ju, how long does it take to find a hot water bottle? Jingman is getting impatient.”
Yu Yi quickly responded: “A Ju is coming upstairs right away.”
Ding Jingman watched Yu Yi pouring hot water into the hot water bottle and suddenly asked, “A Ju, do you think I treat you well?”
Yu Yi nodded: “Madam is very good to me.”
Ding Jingman continued, “Then A Ju, don’t hide anything from me.”
“Yes, A Ju won’t hide anything from the madam.” Yu Yi inwardly guessed what Ding Jingman was worried about.
Sure enough, Ding Jingman couldn’t help but ask, “A Ju, do you think the Commander treats you well?”
“A Ju is a bit afraid of the Commander. He looks very fierce when he’s angry.”
“At dinner, that actress was going to teach you a lesson, so Feibai got angry…” Ding Jingman spoke while observing Yu Yi’s expression.
