Chapter 971 - 969: Boss, Who Is It Really?
After finishing breakfast and getting in the car, Nuonuo finally felt a bit more awake.Feeling more alert, her thoughts naturally became clearer, "Si Jun, why does the boss want to see me all of a sudden?"
It’s no wonder Nuonuo found it strange. This boss, Xinying, had remained invisible for over two years, and she had gone from initially curious about them to gradually forgetting their existence.
"Si Han, have you forgotten the big awards you won for Xinying the past few days?" Si Jun, on the other side of the phone, sounded like he was almost tearing up from Si Han’s ignorance.
"Just because of that?"
Yet Nuonuo’s intuition told her that the boss’s sudden appearance was due to some other unknown reasons; it definitely wasn’t just because she brought back a few trophies.
"What else could it be? You’re the main star of Xinying and you brought back the top music and film awards this year. Not only the boss, but even us employees want to treat you like a goddess!"
Despite Si Jun’s explanation, Nuonuo still trusted her own instincts more.
After chatting with Si Jun for a bit, she hung up and, feeling rare alertness, took out her phone to browse the internet.
Typing the keyword "Si Han," she roughly scanned the news and gossip related to her. Indeed, as Brother said, there was no speculation or rumors about her biological parents online.
Nuonuo finally felt relieved, and started playing a little game on her phone.
Over an hour later, led by Si Jun, Nuonuo knocked on the office door she had never seen anyone enter before.
Without waiting for a response from inside, Si Jun had already turned the knob, "Si Han, you should go in. I have some things to take care of, so I won’t disturb you."
Then, guiding her by the shoulder, he gently pushed her inside and retreated, leaving the door silently closed behind her.
The office looked no different from a usual office, with a large desk on which sat a computer and office supplies, and in front of the desk was a Boss chair. Behind the chair was a large bookshelf filled with books.
Beside the bookshelf was a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, in front of which stood a tall man with his back to her, facing out of the window.
From Si Han’s angle, she couldn’t see any part of the man’s face as his back was straight towards the door.
The glow from outside the window outlined his figure with a golden edge.
For some reason, although it was her first time meeting the boss, this figure was so familiar that she blurted out without thinking, "Brother?"
The figure stood motionless, and Nuonuo couldn’t help but wonder if it was possibly a life-sized wax statue modeled after her brother?
Even though the person didn’t respond, Nuonuo still trusted her instincts, "Ji Yu?"
At this point, she didn’t even consider how her brother could appear in Xinying’s boss’s office. She just firmly believed that the person standing in front of the window was Ji Yu, her brother, who could also say her future husband.
She walked step by step closer to the person, who still didn’t move at all.
Nuonuo stopped speaking and directly walked to his side, cocked her head, and looked up at him.
The man standing beside her, with a hint of a restrained smile on his face, who else could it be but Ji Yu?
"Ji Yu! Are you deaf?"
Amused and annoyed, Nuonuo reached out and pinched his ear. What she touched was warm skin, definitely a living person, so how could it be a life-sized wax statue?!
Nuonuo was so annoyed her teeth itched, and she used a bit more force. The tall man whose ear she was pinching finally broke character, his hands wrapping around her waist and pulling her into his arms.
"Silly girl, you’re that sure it’s me?"
Nuonuo’s right hand was still pinching his ear, and listening to his teasing tone made her even angrier, increasing the force a little more.
"Ji Yu, do you find it fun to mess with me?"
Da Bao’s face drew closer with a smile, giving her a light peck on the lips. "Spare me, wifey, I deserve to die a thousand times for my crimes; I won’t tease you again!"
Nuonuo held back her laughter and playfully smacked him twice, while being held and led to sit on the couch in the lounge area.
"Let me pour you a cup of warm milk..."
Da Bao helped her sit down, then got up and familiarly went to the storage shelf on the side. Only then did Nuonuo completely realize.
"Brother, why are you in our boss’s office?"
Da Bao had already turned around, holding a cup of milk in his hand.
"Silly, haven’t you figured it out yet?" Da Bao tucked the warm milk into her hand and sat close to her.
Then, naturally putting his arm around her waist, holding her halfway in his embrace.
Nuonuo, holding the cup with both hands, stared at him with wide eyes before unsurely asking, "Could it be that you’re the boss of Xinying?"
Da Bao first nodded, then shook his head.
Nuonuo frowned slightly, clearly feeling confused by Da Bao’s nodding and shaking head.
"So are you or aren’t you?" Nuonuo glared fiercely at Da Bao.
Da Bao had a constant smile of delight on his face, his hand reaching over to wrap hers and guiding the milk closer to her lips, "Drink this first, warm your stomach, and then I’ll explain everything to you slowly."
Nuonuo thought to herself, hmph, I want to see how you’re going to explain this lie!
You hid this from me for over two years!
Ji Dabao, you’re something else!
The more Nuonuo thought about it, the angrier she got, but despite her annoyance, she obediently drank the milk.
So, in Da Bao’s eyes, the Nuonuo in front of him turned into a cute little pet with pouted cheeks and lips dipped in a bit of white.
"Drink slowly, no rush, you can hit me or scold me however you like."
Da Bao looked at her with indulgence, reading all her little thoughts clearly written on her face.
Nuonuo turned her face away and twisted her body, ignoring him.
Da Bao didn’t mind, smiling gently as he patted her back to help soothe her.
After she finally finished the warm milk, he led her to the desk, carefully supported her shoulders, and sat her down in the Boss chair.
Opening a drawer, he took out a small notebook.
He opened it and handed it to her.
"Here, see for yourself."
Nuonuo was still sulking, her hands stayed motionlessly on her lap without any intention of taking it, but her eyes couldn’t help glancing at the contents of the notebook.
A quick look, and Nuonuo was taken aback!
"Brother, why am I the legal representative?"
Da Bao tossed the notebook onto the desk, laughing as he squatted before her, wrapping her hands in his, looking up at her.
"Why do you think? Xinying Entertainment was always your company from the beginning, didn’t you know?"
Da Bao laughed with such frankness, but Nuonuo clearly saw the teasing and mischievous glint in his eyes.
But she truly never paid attention to this kind of thing.
"Always?" Nuonuo asked with some hesitation.
Her not-so-clever mind kept feeling there was some trickery here.
"Yes, always, if you don’t believe me, ask Tian Fang, ask Si Jun, or you can even check online!"
