Yang Liu was speechless when she heard the charming voice, unsure how to react, her legs even felt weak.
She gritted her teeth and thought, "Yang Liu, get a grip! You're not some innocent girl; why are you reacting like this?"
Han Chen said again, "Yang Liu?"
She finally came to her senses and replied, "Yes, I'm here. The butler told me you wanted to talk to me, but I didn't have time to read the message. What's it about?"
In an office, a handsome man in his 30s was sitting in a chair looking out the window, speaking seriously on the phone, as if talking to a stranger.
Han Chen heard the voice of this woman who had never smiled at him before, now being friendly, and was taken aback, thinking, "What happened? Why is she so polite today? She has no obligation to please him."
Han Chen took a deep breath. "Could you take Han Wei to school for me? I know I shouldn't ask you this, and I realize today is your first day here, but I really have something urgent at the company and can't accompany him to school. So, I want to ask you, Could you do me this favor?"
At the Han Mansion, Yang Liu smiled as she heard this "Of course I can. If you need anything else, just let me know."
She thought for a moment and said, "He's 8 years old, right? Should I wake him up now?"
Han Chen trembled hearing this because henever expected her to offer something like this. It wasn't her obligation. He thought that but said the opposite "Um, sure, if you want."
Yang Liu looks at the time and sighed. "Okay, I'll hang up then. I'll take a shower first and have breakfast. Call me if you need anything. Bye Han Chen. Have a good day at work."
Beep beep
Han Chen looked at the phone that had been hung up before he says "Bye" and stared at it for ten minutes until someone knocked on his door.
Knock knock
Han Chen snapped back to reality and said, "Come in."
Secretary Jian entered, looking at his boss who seemed a bit disoriented, not understanding why he was staring at the phone and didn't hear him knocking on the door until his hand got tired "the life of a secretary is so difficult".
Secretary Jian thought this, but says "Sorry to interrupt, boss, but it's time for your meeting, everyone is already in the room waiting for you."
He said everything he should and was already leaving the president's office, when he finally remembered "sir, congratulations on your wedding, my wife and I sent a gift to your house, I hope your wife likes it"
Han Chen looked at his secretary who had already worked with him for 10 years and said "Thank you, Jian."
Han Chen immediately returned to his serious self after talking to him, stood up, grabbed his suit, put the phone in his pocket, and said, "Let's go."
He opens the door and walks through his building until he reaches a meeting room.
He opens the door again and sees the room full of men in their 50s and 60s. But when everyone spots the president, they stand up and say, "Good morning, Mr. President."
In this room, Han Chen is the youngest .But no one sees him that way, because he is more capable than all of them combined.
Han Chen looks at these people and, as he sits at his desk, says, "Everyone can sit down; the meeting will begin."
Yang Liu stepped out of the bathroom, feeling the cool air of the room wash over her. As she made her way to the closet, she was surprised to find only dark clothing hanging in the wardrobe. I guess I'll need to buy new clothes immediately, she thought, a spark of excitement igniting within her.
Continuing her search, she rummaged through the closet until her eyes landed on a vibrant red dress. An instant smile spread across her face as she envisioned how stunning she would look in it. I should look great in this dress; after all, she and I share the same body type! The thought made her chuckle, and for a moment, she felt a rush of confidence.
After selecting the dress, she quickly changed into it, admiring her reflection before heading down the hallway. As she descended the stairs, the enticing aroma of breakfast filled the air, leading her to the dining room. There, she saw Butler Ling carefully setting the table.
Upon hearing the footsteps echoing down the stairs, Butler Ling turned to see Madame approaching. He straightened up, a look of relief washing over him.
Yang Liu's heart swelled at the sight of the delicious spread laid out before her. I should have enjoyed life more before I died, she reflected. In her previous life, she often felt guilty about indulging in good food, opting to save every penny for future travels instead.
With a wistful sigh, she murmured to herself, "What a waste of time saving so much."
Snapping back to reality, Yang Liu turned to the butler and asked, "Where is Han Wei's room?"
Butler Ling widened his eyes slightly in surprise before responding, "The young master's room is at the end of the hallway."
Yang Liu nodded her thanks and headed back up the stairs. She made her way to the end of the hallway and knocked gently on the door.
Knock, knock.
When there was no response from inside, she decided to let herself in. As the door creaked open, her eyes fell upon a beautiful boy sleeping peacefully, his mouth slightly ajar.
Yang Liu felt an overwhelming wave of affection at the sight, her heart melting at his cuteness. She hesitated, reluctant to wake him, but knew she had to.
Taking a deep breath, she knelt beside the bed and gently called out, "Han Wei, wake up. It's time to go to school."
The boy began to stir, slowly blinking open his eyes. When he saw his stepmother, a shy blush crept across his cheeks, and he looked away, embarrassed.
Yang Liu, undeterred by his reaction, continued to smile warmly at him. "Good morning, Han Wei. Do you know who I am?"
The boy nodded but remained silent, his gaze still fixed on her.
Seeing this, Yang Liu reassured him, "That's good! Today, I'll take you to school since your father is still busy with work. Do you know how to take a shower, or would you like me to help you?"
After a moment of processing what she said, Han Wei replied timidly, "I can take a shower by myself."
Yang Liu laughed, the sound light and cheerful. "Hahaha, okay! You're a big boy now. So go take your shower, and I'll find your clothes, alright?"
Han Wei nodded, encouraged by her words, and got up to head to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Yang Liu busied herself in the closet, searching for his clothes.
Unbeknownst to her, as the boy stood up and glanced back at her, his cheeks turned a deep shade of red. Is this my mother? he thought, a mixture of confusion and curiosity swirling in his mind.
He shook his head, denying the thought. No, Dad said she would only stay with us temporarily while he helped her.
Scratching his head, he whispered to himself, But I think she is really nice.
With one last look at her, he turned to enter the bathroom, feeling a sense of warmth in his heart as he pondered the unexpected kindness of his new stepmother.
