Hello, Wife!

Chapter 33: Awareness

"Thank you for just now, I'll return the money to you tomorrow," said Su Le as she sat on the sofa and drank a mouthful of the lukewarm tea before she felt the fire in her heart simmer down. While resting against the sofa, Su Le massaged her forehead and looked towards the laptop. The look in her eyes suddenly changed slightly.

"It's not much. You don't need to be so polite." Wei Chu saw that Su Le's mood was not very good so he said, "Regarding things about work, let's discuss it in the afternoon instead. I have a couple of novels that are this year's best sellers. Would you like to take a look at them?"

Su Le smiled but shook her head in response, "It's nothing. It's just that I'm meeting a stranger that I never thought I would meet. I'll start working after a while. About the plans, I want to alter some details. You can take a look at it first and if there is anything that is unsuitable, just point it out."

"Work can be discussed any time." Wei Chu sighed and picked up the cup in front of Su Le and said,"Sit down for a while, I'll give you a fresh cup of tea."

As Su Le watched the door close once again, her finger moved across the laptops interaction pad. Instantly, the once darkened screen lit up. After minimising the web page, she looked at the familiar image on the screen saver.

The image was very familiar to Su Le but that was not what she focused on. What surprised her was that there was a familiar figure standing near the Wutong trees. Even though the appearance was somewhat vague, she could still recognise who it was.

Judging from the angle, it appeared that picture was taken without the person's permission. But was the picture taken by coincidence or was it on purpose? Su Le didn't believe that any woman could remain calm or indifferent when they discovered a picture of herself on another person's laptop screen saver.

This felt just like when someone suddenly discovered that they had an extra 100 yuan in their pocket but they didn't know where the money had come from; they would be unsure of whether they should spend it, or stand to one side and wait for the owner to look for the money.

"Kacha!" A cup was placed in front of Su Le. When Wei Chu saw the laptop in front of Su Le, his smile dampened but seeing Su Le's expression remain unchanged, he continued smiling and said, "Are you still using the laptop? I have a file saved in it and I'll need to use it soon."

"This laptop belongs to you?" Su Le lifted her head to look at Wei Chu. The look in her eyes changed, "I'm really sorry. I didn't know that you needed to use it."

"It's alright. Chen Xu may have forgotten," Wei Chu smiled as he closed the laptop and placed it on his desk. He then went to get 2 books and placed them in front of Su Le. Su Le glanced at them. They were the latest novels from two authors that she liked. She opened one of the books and it was actually autographed. Su Le widened her eyes in amazement because she remembered that this author was rather lazy and rarely signed his books, so getting his books autographed was not easy. Even she had to use all sorts of connections in order to get one.

But in this world, what couldn't the rich do? Su Le just assumed that Wei Chu was interested in these two authors' novels and spent some effort to get these books. But looking at the pages of the book, it still looked very new and there didn't seem to be any marks of someone flipping the pages. She didn't know whether this was because Wei Chu was too busy and still hadn't got to reading them yet, or if he treated these books like treasure and handled them very, very carefully.

"If you like them, you can keep them since I rarely read them anyway," Wei Chu said, but he only said that because he saw that Su Le was lost in thought while staring at the autographed book.

"Ah?" Su Le regained her focus and smiled while she shook her head, "No need. A few days ago, I got the autographed books with someone's help."

"I see." There was no disappointment displayed on Wei Chu's face but there wasn't any happiness expressed either about the two of them liking the same authors.
