Chapter 725 To learn Zixin's world

Ai dragged Guiying inside the Chen Corps with some force who was trying to escape as soon as possible.

"Wait Ai, why did you bring me to the Chen Corps?" Guiying asked, her forehead showing signs of sweat.

"To get inspiration of course! He is the source right here for you for your inspiration and you are searching it in the whole wide world!"

"Huh? I don't get you."

"You will soon understand me!"

Ai kept pulling her all the way to Zixin's office who was just done with a meeting. Two men in business suits exited Zixin's office and finding this chance, Ai peeked her head inside.

"Zixin."

Zixin, who was discussing a few points with his assistant, was surprised to see Ai in Chen Corps.

"Zhou Ai. Hello," he politely smiled.

She grinned. "I have a surprise for you."

Zixin tilted his head and his eyes slightly widened upon Ai pulling Guiying inside. Guiying stiffened and an awkward, clueless smile formed on her lips. She was desperately nudging Ai's elbow but to no avail.

Zixin immediately took off from his seat and walked towards Guiying, his gaze filled with warmth. "You didn't tell me you were planning to visit here or I would have come to pick you two up."

"Ah n-no, I d-didn't plan anything. It was Ai who…" Guiying threw her a sneaky glare. She didn't know what was cooking in Ai's mind, but she felt completely unprepared.

"How are you, Zixin?" Ai chirped. "Did you like the surprise?"

"I am doing well and yes, I loved the surprise. I am always looking forward to whenever and wherever Guiying is involved."

Guiying furiously blushed who could very well see his assistant coughing silently.

Ai clapped her hands with delight. "I am so happy to see you care for Guiying."

"Of course," he smiled.

"That's why I want you to help Guiying."

"Help?" He questioningly raised his brow.

Ai gravely bobbed her head. "Guiying is in a predicament and only you can show her way."

"What predicament?" He pursed his lips, worried.

He quickly invited them inside and made them take the seats opposite his chair. His assistant, Mr. Ling said, "I will take my leave, Sir."

"Oh, no, no," Ai waved her hand in dismissal. "We need you too. So please be here."

"Oh. Sure, Miss. Zhou."

Guiying tugged her dress urgently and whispered. "What help do I need?"

Ai ignored her question and looked back at Zixin. "So you see, Guiying is quite in a slump."

"Slump?"

"Writing slump. She has been struggling to write for some time. As you know, too many things have happened. Naturally, it will take time for her to gain her writing momentum back. But still, it is bothering Guiying and I want to help her. As a writer too, I understand her pain."

Zixin pressed his lips again and met her gaze, hurt. "You didn't tell me about this."

Guiying straightened up, her lips unable to form a response. "I-It's nothing serious really. Ai is exaggerating. Every writer goes through ups and downs. It's just the nature of creativity…"

Ai nodded. "It's how creativity works, but it can take a lot of time to get the flow of your inspiration back. You look so depressed just now in the restaurant because you were unable to write. So if it keeps bothering us, we should do something about it. This is where Zixin comes in."

He donned an immense serious countenance as if this was a life and death situation. "Tell me anything you need."

"So Guiying is in dire need of inspiration and the problem I see here is that she is cooped up in her room the entire time. Well, that's really not her fault. Writers' jobs are like that. But I believe that is also hampering her creativity."

"I see," Zixin nodded in agreement.

"Plus she is not getting enough Vitamin Zixin."

"Sorry?"

Mr. Ling - "..."

Guiying stared at her in horror.

What is she saying!

Ai felt her pointed gaze and coughed. "I mean, she lacks interaction with you. I know Guiying now lives in the Chen villa so technically, there should be more chances of you two spending more time together, but that is not happening. You work in the office and Guiying is in her room. It's just at the end of the day where you get to talk. So, I think that increasing those chances will help her with her writing flow. You see, I was at a similar place as Guiying some time back. It was a very rough patch. It was through and because of Jun who helped me with the sort of stories that I wanted to write."

She bashfully grinned. "We used to meet everyday at the library and then due to circumstances, we started living together. So his handsome face and cute personality was plastered in front of my eyes for the entire time. He, as Liu Jun himself, and the people around him were the greatest source of my creative juices flowing."

Oh was that so?

Guiying had now calmed down and listened to Ai's journey with interest.

"I got exposed to a greater world because of him. I think that can help Guiying too. If she meets you, the people around you more and more, then I believe she wouldn't struggle so much."

Mr. Ling said, "I agree, Miss. Zhou. My friend is an artist so I can relate. He tells me similar experiences. It helps him when he gets to see more of the world rather than just being inside his bedroom walls."

Ai beamed, appreciating his wisdom. "You know where I am getting to."

"Which is what, Ai?" Guiying asked, puzzled.

She chirped. "The best way to get in contact with Zixin and his world is if you work with him. So we came here to ask if Guiying can become Zixin's assistant like Mr. Ling is?"

"..."

Guiying's mouth dropped with a proposal she never expected would come to hear.

I as Zixin's assistant?
