Ai lowered her gaze. She understood his point. There were times when Ai herself had been struggling with her parents'divorce and her life after their separation. There were many instances where she felt vulnerable and lonely, but she preferred to keep her feelings inside rather than sharing it with someone.

He is right. It's not so easy to share…

Jack Si said, "To come to a conclusion of a split personality disorder, we need to know her past. There are some examinations to be done to confirm this second personality too. If this condition is true, then your friend needs proper medical help. It would be great if you could gently talk to her about this."

Ai stepped out of his office with a grave expression. Talking to Jack Si illuminated the path of what she should do next.

The only man who could tell something about Guiying's trauma is Cai Lingyun. But it's not wise to approach him alone. I need to talk to Jun about this first.

Lost in her thoughts, she bumped into a man, who was about to meet Jack Si himself.

Ai looked up and apologized. "I am sorry. I wasn't paying attention…" her eyes slightly widened. "Zixin."

Zixin greeted her. "Hello, Ai."

"Nice to meet you," she politely smiled. "Are you here for your checkup?"

"Sort of. It was already done yesterday. Some other scans are left."

"I see. I thought Yunru will be with you."

"He seemed to have some work, so I told him to go ahead."

Jack Si's assistant arrived and asked, "Mr. Chen. Can you please come inside? Dr. Si is waiting for you."

He gave a light nod.

Zixin then glanced back at Ai. "Are you going to Sky after this?"

"Yes."

"Then if it's okay, can you wait for me? I will drop you at Sky. It's on my way anyway."

"I don't want to give you any trouble."

"It's no trouble."

"Okay. I will take up on that ride," Ai smiled and agreed.

Sky Publishing.

"This is all for today, Sir," Hou Lin closed the meeting and gave a brief summary.

Sun Bai, too, gave her side of the inputs and wrapped up her presentation.

Jun said, "Got it. Focus on developing the plot crafting skills of all authors this time, Miss. Sun. Prepare all the training materials. Hou Lin. I want to introduce some changes in the app to accomodate more features and focus more on promoting niche genres to the readers. I want to modify the pricing model too. I want the marketing and app development team ready."

"Yes, Sir."

"Good. If you want to consult any further, you can ask me or President Yunru."

With that, Jun scrunched up his brows. "Is Yunru not in the office?"

Sun Bai shook her head.

He has been on and off work for quite sometime now, Jun thought.

"Anyway, the meeting is done. You can leave."

As Sun Bai opened the door and stepped out followed by Hou Lin, Xing Bi straightened up.

"Miss. Xing?" Sun Bai was slightly surprised. "Do you have some work with Mr. Liu?"

"Oh no, no," she waved her hand. "Your phone was ringing continuously, Miss. Sun. I thought it was something urgent, so I thought to bring your phone."

For all important meetings with Jun, Sun Bai usually left her phone in her office to prevent any distraction altogether.

"Oh. Thank you, Miss. Xing."

Sun Bai glanced at the number calling her and faintly clenched the phone in her hand. A tinge of discomfort flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I will look into it. Miss. Xing. Here are the notes of today's meetings with Mr. Liu. Can you help with preparing the training materials? Then we will plan our sessions with the authors accordingly."

Xing Bi gave it a read and nodded. "Sure!"

"Thank you," her heels clicked on the floor, and she left with a slight hurry in her steps.

"Did you see that too?" Xing Bi asked Hou Lin as soon as Sun Bai was away from their hearing range.

Hou Lin didn't understand. "See what?"

"Oof. The caller's name on her phone."

"I didn't," he took a fraction of a second pause, "I don't intrude upon anybody's privacy."

"..."

Xing Bi felt that jab. "I-I wasn't intruding either!" She exclaimed in a hushed voice to defend herself with a flushed face. "It's just that her phone was lighting up non-stop, and I really thought it could be an emergency call."

"I see."

She gritted her teeth and jabbed on his knee. "Can I feel some sincerity in your voice?"

Hou Lin's brows ever so faintly creased and felt a stinging pain on his knee. "That hurt."

"It wasn't really that hard of a jab," she dryly said.

"Apologies. I might be over-reacting."

Xing Bi nodded. "Good, good. Coming back to the topic, I just happened to see who was calling her so incessantly. And that was Lu Bohai."

Hou Lin furrowed his brows. "Strange."

"Exactly. Why is he so desperate? Even in the cafe, he looked so demanding…"

"You saw them at a cafe?"

"..."

Shit! It was supposed to be a secret that I stalked Sun Bai! Ugh, I am talking to Hou Lin, not Nian!

Xing Bi grinned. "Just passed by…"

"Meaning stalked."

"..."

"You…you must understand that I am a very responsible citizen of this country and as such, I don't commit such acts of stalking and intruding upon someone's privacy."

When she didn't hear any response from Hou Lin, she warned, "Say that you understand if you don't want me to jab your knee again."

"I understand. Miss. Xing is a very dutiful and pure citizen of this country having no harmful intentions in her mind," his response was instantaneous.

Xing Bi nodded, satisfied. "Good, good," she then came back to the topic, "I am really anxious of what is happening between them! The more I see their furtive meetings, the more I cannot help but wonder if something bad is going to happen."

"Depends on what you heard Lu Bohai saying."

"He was just asking Miss. Sun to handover something. I couldn't hear anything more."

Hou Lin calmly said, "Then let's see what's the demand. If it's something related to Sky, we can keep an eye on Miss. Sun and observe what she does next."
