Chapter 84 (1/2)

At midday in Hao Yan Che's office, Yuan Gun Gun ran to his chair and he lifted her onto his lap. She held his hands to rub her stomach.

'Young master, it's lunch time,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'Feel how flat my stomach is.'

'Um,' Hao Yan Che said. 'It's round.'

'What do you mean?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'It's round,' Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun let go of Hao Yan Che's hands, slid off his lap and walked to her desk.

Hao Yan Che walked to the pig fridge. He took out a platter of food and put it on Yuan Gun Gun's desk.

'Go reheat it and you can eat,' Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun's sadness disappeared after she saw the delicious food on the platter.

'Young master you're the best,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'Wait here. I'll go reheat it.'

'Today you're eating on your own,' Hao Yan Che said.

Hao Yan Che walked back to his chair, picked up his jacket and wore it. He walked to Yuan Gun Gun's desk and pinched her sad face.

'Where are you going?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'To sign a contract,' Hao Yan Che said. 'Don't eat dessert behind my back. You know what happens if you do.'

'Oh,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'Come back soon.'

'Um,' Hao Yan Che said and kissed Yuan Gun Gun's forehead.

Yuan Gun Gun heard the door closed, looked down at the platter of food and lost her appetite.

At twenty past midday, Yuan Gun Gun slowly ate and occasionally glancing at the door. She wondered why Hao Yan Che wasn't back yet.

Yuan Gun Gun's phone rang, and she was happy to see who called her.

'Big brother Du!' Yuan Gun Gun greeted.

'Gun Gun, it's always good to hear your voice,' Na Liu Ting Du said.

'Big brother Du, how come you're free to call me today?' Yuan Gun Gun asked. 'Aren't you busy at work?'
