Chapter 60 Part 1

Housekeeper Nangong’s arguments were well-founded, but… the domineering President Qin refused to accept them.

Over the weekend, Lu Ningshuang frolicked around the villa for another day. Qin Yushu handled some urgent matters and, in the process, sent a very generous “return gift” to the Qin family members who had visited earlier.

Since the other party lacked manners, she, as the host, couldn’t fail to show “proper hospitality.”

That night, Lu Ningshuang slept in the same bed as the polite yet exceptionally ruthless President Qin.

However, tonight was strictly sleeping under the covers—pure sleep.

The next day.

The little dog had to go to work again!

—Scenes like the domineering CEO and the little secretary were best played at home, especially in the…

“Is Madam wearing the ring to work today?”

“Can I not?” Lu Ningshuang turned back to ask.

Ever since Qin Yushu slipped the ring onto her finger yesterday, Lu Ningshuang hadn’t taken it off.

She had indeed kept her promise.

Turning back now, she saw Housekeeper Nangong smiling with narrowed eyes. “You can, of course you can. It’s just… if Madam’s colleagues ask…”

Then I’ll say I’m married.

Lu Ningshuang silently finished the sentence in her heart. She unconsciously glanced toward Qin Yushu and saw the woman elegantly eating breakfast, a ring on the ring finger of her left hand as well.

Small, not particularly conspicuous, and identical to hers.

But if it was on this person…

No, that wasn’t right.

By now, although it wasn’t as exaggerated as in fiction where the whole world knew, news of Qin Yushu’s marriage was public knowledge within their circle. Everyone who needed to know already knew.

Lu Ningshuang hadn’t been brainwashed by the marketing that “the size of the diamond equals the depth of love,” but in this moment, she suddenly understood.

Qin Yushu buying such a simple style of matching rings was perhaps… for her convenience.

It was Qin Yushu’s unique gentleness and thoughtfulness.

Someone who could reach President Qin’s position couldn’t possibly be careless. Some people might neglect family affairs while being obsessed with their careers due to a lack of ability, perhaps.

But more often, it depended on whether they truly took that person to heart.

If sparing just a tiny bit of energy could make both parties happy, what reason was there not to do it?

Just then, Housekeeper Nangong waved to a subordinate, who placed a large bag on the table.

Lu Ningshuang looked closer—

Wedding… wedding candy?

Housekeeper Nangong continued, “Madam’s marriage happened in a rush, so colleagues weren’t invited.”

Also, because she was new and they weren’t close, holding a wedding and inviting others would be awkward regarding gift money. Given their current relationship, it felt like a loss either way.

“So, distribute these wedding candies to spread the joy.”

The self-cultivation of a reliable housekeeper.

“Wow!”

Lu Ningshuang was stunned. Housekeeper Nangong had prepared way too much; even after giving two boxes to everyone in her department, there would likely be leftovers to hand out to random visitors.

Lu Ningshuang checked Qin Yushu’s expression and asked Housekeeper Nangong, “Is there more?”

Housekeeper Nangong smiled. “Yes, as much as Madam wants.”

Heaven knows, the day she learned the Young Miss got her marriage certificate, she placed a massive order. These candies were all perfectly preserved. When Dr. Lin Yi left last time, she had even stuffed several boxes into her hands.

It made Dr. Lin’s expression even more… peculiar.

“Great!”

Lu Ningshuang was satisfied. She had finished eating anyway, so she pulled the large bag over, took out three boxes, stacked them, and handed them to Housekeeper Nangong.

The little live-in Alpha smiled with curved eyes, looking utterly obedient and soft. “Housekeeper Nangong, I got married!”

“Congratulations, Madam. May you have a hundred years of harmony and hearts united forever,” Housekeeper Nangong played along perfectly.

“I will…”

Lu Ningshuang glanced at Qin Yushu, remembering the contents of their agreement, and suddenly didn’t dare respond too confidently.

Her tongue slipped.

“I’ll work hard at it!”

But the smile hiding in the corners of her lips and eyes couldn’t be wiped away.

Next.

The little live-in Alpha went around the villa distributing wedding candy. Everyone cooperated with the little Madam, offering auspicious phrases in return. Finally, the candy reached President Qin herself.

Qin Yushu picked at the satin ribbon with her fingertip, slanting a glance at the Alpha. “What, do I need to share in the joy too?”

“No.”

Lu Ningshuang whispered, “Just take it to the office. If anyone mentions the ring, you can… give some to them too.”

Qin Yushu’s profound gaze rested on the Alpha’s face. She raised a hand and passed the candy to Housekeeper Nangong behind her.

“How much is left?” she asked Housekeeper Nangong.

“One storage room.” Facing her own Young Miss, Housekeeper Nangong hid nothing. “There are probably over a hundred bags like this one.”

Lu Ningshuang’s mouth dropped open in shock.

As expected of you, Housekeeper Nangong!!

Qin Yushu spoke casually, “Then take two bags over.” She confirmed the decision, then asked Lu Ningshuang again.

“Should we ask them for wedding gifts too?”

She remembered the little dog seemed quite persistent about that point.

Lu Ningshuang fidgeted. “Depends on the relationship.”

Qin Yushu nodded.

Understood.

Ask those who are close or exceptionally distant, and let the indifferent ones slide.

Needless to say, Qin Yushu’s action put Lu Ningshuang in an extremely good mood. Her eyes were curved in a smile even now.

Since it was right in front of her, Qin Yushu reached out and pressed down on the little live-in Alpha’s head.

?

The Alpha looked up in confusion.

The pressing motion turned into a rub. President Qin had a knack for petting dogs; soon, the little dog squinted comfortably, just short of purring from her throat.

This delight was reflected in Qin Yushu’s eyes as well.

—Yes, the little dog was even cuter when carefree.
