Jin Zisu locked the neatly organized accounts into the cabinet, gazing out at the night sky as she stretched her arms in a big yawn.
At the end of each month, she became particularly busy, not only needing to carefully tally the month's accounts but also helping her extravagant boss design the budget plan for the next month.
Thus, during the last few days of every month, she was always the last to leave work. However, her salary was quite generous.
Thinking about this, Jin Zisu felt her mood lift. She grabbed a few changes of intimate clothing and hummed a little tune as she walked into the gym's shower room, planning to take a quick shower before heading home, which would save on some water and electricity costs.
The gym's facilities were purchased at a high price, and the shower room was no exception.
The water temperature was just right, and the showerhead had a strong flow. Jin Zisu enjoyed her time inside so much that she didn't notice her phone ringing several times.
When Jin Zisu stepped out of the shower room with one hand holding her clothes and the other drying her dripping hair with a towel, she was startled to find someone leaning against the wall in the corridor. The soft glow from his phone illuminated his smooth profile, making him look exceptionally handsome.
Jin Zisu jumped in surprise and instinctively threw everything she was holding away.
“Jin Zisu, when are you going to stop throwing things around?” Si Yin said with a twitching mouth as he started taking off the items hanging on him one by one.
“What are you doing here all of a sudden?! You could scare someone to death!” Jin Zisu's face turned red as she awkwardly stuffed the clothes he handed her into a paper bag.
When Ye Sha appeared in the gym, Jin Zisu wasn't surprised.
She had long suspected that this female assistant had complicated feelings for Si Yin. At the crime scene, she had looked terrified and insisted on leaning against Si Yin. In the police station, she had made things difficult for Jin Zisu, and now she was boldly coming to confront her.
Not wanting to cause trouble, Jin Zisu signaled for Ye Sha to follow her to the stairwell.
“Miss Jin.” Ye Sha's gaze was as cold as ice, fixated directly on Jin Zisu.
"What is it?" Jin Zisu feigned indifference, turning her head away.
"Please stop bothering Officer Si. Because of you, he has repeatedly abandoned the cases he's working on, and the department is quite unhappy about it," Ye Sha stated, bringing up the situation at the precinct.
"Oh, then just tell him to focus on his work," Jin Zisu replied nonchalantly, dismissing Ye Sha with a light remark.
Ye Sha's face flushed with anger, her chest heaving as she continued to question, "How can he work properly when you're clinging to him?!"
"Me? Cling to him?" Jin Zisu's eyes widened in disbelief, her hands on her hips, looking utterly wronged. "I am more wronged than Dou E!"
Ye Sha's eyes darted around before she retorted, "Exactly! Miss Jin, you should understand that it's unethical to interfere with someone else's boyfriend."
"Oh dear, what are you talking about?"
uncle Ya appeared from downstairs, carrying an electric baton and looking displeased as she glared at Ye Sha. "Mrs. Si and Mr. Si have such a good relationship; how could Mr. Si possibly be your boyfriend?"
Ye Sha's face instantly turned pale, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Her lips trembled slightly as she murmured, "Si... Madam?"
"Did you hear that clearly? Si Yin is not only my husband, but also the father of my child!"
Jin Zisu's acting skills were on full display as she spoke, gently patting her slightly rounded belly from the afternoon tea she had just enjoyed.
Well, it is still a bit full.
Ye Sha was unwilling to back down so easily and took a step forward in a fit of emotion, only to be yanked back by a strong hand gripping her wrist from behind.
“Enough, Ye Sha,” Si Yin panted, her left hand clutching a bag of plump, red cherries while her right hand firmly held onto Ye Sha.
It turned out that A Dong recognized Ye Sha, the assistant who was always “flirting” around. Upon seeing her looking for Jin Zisu, he quickly informed Si Yin.
“Boss…” Ye Sha’s eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in her gaze.
To stay close to Si Yin, she had lowered herself to attend the police academy, facing various criminals and crime scenes, all with the hope of gaining Si Yin’s attention.
But in less than a month, everything had changed. How could she accept this?
“Honey…” Jin Zisu pouted, her eyes also glistening with tears.
Hmph, when it came to acting, she had been an extra for quite some time!
Upon hearing the word “honey,” Si Yin’s heart soared with joy. She hurriedly offered the cherries in her hand, saying, “I saw these being sold downstairs and remembered they’re your favorite, so I bought some.”
Jin Zisu took the cherries while Si Yin turned away and issued an eviction order: “Ye Sha, go back to the station and reorganize the cases I asked you to gather last week.”
“Boss, I…” Ye Sha wanted to say more but was coldly interrupted by Si Yin: “This is an order!”
Ye Sha bit her lip tightly as large tears rolled down her cheeks. Covering her face, she ran away crying.
