Looking at Qing Shan with wide eyes and open mouth Zhi Ruo tried to understand what he siad was actually the truth. She had been so muddle headed to think about things in a straight way. She was supposed to move forward, not make achievements....

Understanding her stupidity, she hit her forhead with her hand which was strong enough to hurt her and make her shout "Aaaahhhhhh"

Chuckling he said "So it seems you got your answer. Lets go and sleep then, its pretty late."

Gesturing her to go inisde, Qing Shan started tidying up the table.....

Next morning:

Getting up Zhi Ruo saw that the breakfast table seemed to be filled with her favourate dumplings and there was someone in the kitchen working. Thinking its Qing Shan, she quickly ran to the kitchen and in an attempt to scare the person in the kitchen, she popped up instantly.

What she didn"t notice was that it wasn"t Qing Shan instead it was housekeeper Wei. She was a middle aged lady who had worked at the Zhi house for more than a decade and was the head of maids in the Zhi household. Housekeeper Wei was very close to Zhi Ruo as she was the one who used to take care of both brother and sisters when their parents were away.

Housekeeper Wei was just about to get the sauce packets onto the dining table when a small figure popped up in front of her. Because she was from countryside where people believed in ghosts, she was particularly very much scared of ghosts or can be said was weak hearted. Getting scared she shouted loudly and dropped the sauce packets on the floor causing oil to spill.

Zhi Ruo knew something was amiss when the voice sounded nothing like Qing Shan, instead it was someone familiar...looking around she realised she atually had scared the maid, housekeeper wei. Going forward to console her and say that it was just a prank Zhi Ruo unknowingly stepped on the oily floor and slipped.

Because of being unprepared, Zhi Ruo was unable to grab something except air and waited to fall and bear the pain which didn"t come even after ten seconds...Opening her eyes she realised there was a man staring at her, who actually was also holding her....

Quickly getting up and stabilizing herself she apologized to aunt Wei and left to room.

"Okay so what I wanted to do didn"t happen, instead I got caught in the act for free.... Awesome Zhi Ruo your luck is going away..." she chided herself

Learning what happened from Aunt Wei, Qing Shan understood that she might have wanted to scare him but must have forgot that there would be third person as well.

"call us when the table is ready" Dropping this sentence Qing Shan went to check on Zhi Ruo if she is fine..

"Are you fine?"

Nodding Zhi Ruo kept on typing something on her mobile, sensing that she seemed to be busy, Qing shan did not disturb her further and started gathering his stuff for office.
