Ning Ran felt much better after speaking to Erbao.

So Poker Face didn't go and keep that woman company and he stayed home to look after the kids? Not bad. This is how a father should behave, after all!

“What are you smiling at, Ms. Ning?” asked Jiang Zhe. He had been standing next to her this whole time.

Ning Ran immediately retracted her smile.

Oh, no. Was I actually smiling? How low can I go to let Jiang Zhe catch me grinning like an idiot after that phone call?

“I wasn't smiling. You're mistaken,” retorted Ning Ran, her expression serious.

Jiang Zhe was momentarily stunned.

How could I be mistaken about this? But if Ms. Ning says I'm mistaken, then it means I was mistaken after all.

“I guess I was mistaken. Your hotel is up ahead, Ms. Ning. You should get some rest. I'm heading back now,” said Jiang Zhe with a smile.

“It's already so late and you're rushing back to Flower City?”

“That's right. Mr. Chen has an important conference to attend tomorrow. I need to help him prepare some materials. It's not a very long drive back to Flower City. I'll be there in two hours.”

“Honestly, what is up with Nan Chen? Even if you're not working tomorrow, he still shouldn't treat you like some errand boy!” exclaimed Ning Ran.

“It'll be fine. It won't be too late by the time I reach Flower City.”

They soon reached the entrance to the hotel. Jiang Zhe was going to leave immediately after Ning Ran alighted from the vehicle.

Ning Ran felt a little guilty. If she had taken Poker Face's calls, Jiang Zhe would not have needed to trouble himself and drive all the way here. She felt very sorry for Jiang Zhe.

“Be careful on the road and take your time going back. I'll treat you to a meal when we're back in Flower City!” said Ning Ran with a small wave.

“Okay. You should get some rest, Ms. Ning. Goodbye!”

“Wow! I guess being a CEO's assistant comes with its own perks. He seems so cool!”

Ning Ran was startled at the sound of that voice by her ear.
