"You're welcome," Xiaowang said. Feeling a bit shy, he raised his hand, scratched his head, and tried to comfort Qin Zhi'ai. "Secretary Qin, just forget what happened this afternoon."
Qin Zhi'ai nodded slightly with a smile.
Xiaowang was still uneasy, but then he sighed. "Fortunately, Master Gu came right in time—otherwise..."
After a pause, Xiaowang sighed again and continued, "Master Gu might have quarreled with Old Master Gu again after we left."
Qin Zhi'ai had been communicating with Xiaowang almost every day since she had become Gu Yusheng's secretary. Once they had become acquainted, they would sometimes chat, but they seldom talked about Gu Yusheng.
At that moment, Qin Zhi'ai couldn't help but look at Xiaowang again when she heard what he said.
With Qin Zhi'ai now unwittingly involved in Gu Yusheng's family affairs, Xiaowang felt compelled to share more details. "Actually, Master Gu has been unhappy over the past year."
