After the team leader hung up the phone, he rushed to the scene. "I’m in a hurry to buy a property; I’m not used to living in a Siheyuan."
He Yuzhu’s reply was ambiguous. After all, he couldn't very well introduce Yu Haitang. She was his secretary, but also his lover; naturally, he wouldn't talk about such matters with outsiders. Although those in their inner circle were well aware, he knew he could never openly admit to this relationship in public.
Even though Ran Qiuye had tacitly accepted Yu Haitang’s existence, He Yuzhu understood that introducing her openly in front of others would be an insult to Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye appeared broad-minded on the surface, but in reality, she kept her own tally. He Yuzhu knew well that if not for her respect for him, she would never have let it pass without a word. Yet, should someone cross her bottom line, she would never be as calm as she was now, acting as if nothing had happened. He Yuzhu had never seen Ran Qiuye truly angry, but he believed that such a scene would surely be beyond his control. Therefore, He Yuzhu was exceptionally cautious with his words when out in public. At the same time, he had to consider Lou Xiaoe; if he were to openly acknowledge Yu Haitang, his own image would inevitably suffer.
