Chapter 345 - Why are You Two Together? (1/2)

Once the festivity ended and Li Qin Yao had returned to her office, she immediately gathered her staff around to announced her pregnancy news. The moment Liang Sheng heard the news, he immediately understood why his boss has ȧssigned him and Xiao Lian Yi to attend any social event in her stead.

The meeting ended and Liang Sheng followed Li Qin Yao into her office.

”Congratulation,” Liang Sheng wished and smiled. ”I ȧssume this must be the reason why Chairman Li and his wife were over the moon when I came and visited them during the festivity season. I heard that your cousin, Director Li Ming Han, and his wife were also expecting. It turns out that there was happy news in the family.”

Li Qin Yao smiled upon hearing his words. Among the cousin, Li Qin Yao and Li Ming Han were the only two who were married. Of course, Li Qin Yao had heard the news that her cousin and his wife were expecting from her grandmother during their last conversation.

”You went over to Li's residence?” Li Qin Yao asked.

There was a slight change in Liang Sheng's expression before he nodded. ”Yes.”

”How were my grandparents?”

”Both the Chairman and his wife are very well,” Liang Sheng answered. The uneasy expression on his face disappeared and the professional smile on his face returned.

The phone on the table rang as Li Qin Yao was browsing through a few documents. A smile curled on her lips upon seeing the caller ID. Li Qin Yao slid her finger on the screen and quickly pressed it to her ear.

”Qin Yao, are you busy?” Zhang Yu Han's deep voice can be heard on the other side of the phone.

”Not really,” Li Qin Yao leaned back on her chair. ”I have delegated most of the things to both Liang Sheng and Xiao Lian Yi. Other than looking at the documents and reports, I don't have many things to do.”

Unless if there was something major going on at the site, Li Qin Yao expected that her task would be much easier. Other than supervising the progress once in a while, there were not many things for her to do. Anyway, her grandfather had sent Liang Sheng, a very capable ȧssistant to her side. After working alongside each other for a few months, the two of them were able to work together better.

”Why did you call?” Li Qin Yao asked. She glanced at the door and was relieved to see that it was shut. ”Did you miss me?”

Zhang Yu Han chuckled at her coquettish voice. ”Of course I miss you.” He heard her giggle on the line and his smile widened. The smile disappeared as he remembered the reason he called. ”Qin Yao, I might be home late today. Granduncle Qi called me and I need to head over the residence soon.”

”Something happened?” Li Qin Yao frowned.

On the second day of New Year, as according to their family tradition, Zhang Jing had dragged everyone to Qi's residence. The Qi family was his late wife's family and Zhang Jing was close to his brother-in-law. As the head of the Qi's, Qi Xi Feng would often look after the Zhang and had asked his successor, Qi Ming Wei, to do the same.

Previously during their visit, Li Qin Yao happened to overheard that Qi Ming Wei had run into some trouble and she was worried that something might happen to him.

”I'm not sure,” Zhang Yu Han said. ”But it shouldn't be anything serious. Don't worry about it. Qin Yao, should I ask Yu Ying to accompany you at home tonight?” He quickly changed the topic to avoid her worry.

”Yu Ying had just started dating. I ȧssume that she will have plans. Don't disturb her. I will be fine,” Li Qin Yao ȧssured him. ”Auntie Su will be around to prepare dinner. She can accompany me for a while. Besides, Nian Ting will be at my side as well.”

The frown on Zhang Yu Han's face eased upon recalling that his wife will be accompanied by her guard until he came home. ”Alright. Don't overwork yourself. Remember to come home early. You still have your check-up tomorrow.”
