Runaway Wife: Please, Have Another Baby!

Li Guoli frowned at the sight of a thoroughly soaked Liu Chang and noticed her half-fallen false eyelashes. He barely suppressed a laugh.

"Manager Liu, perhaps you should go change your clothes first?"

Liu Chang snapped back to reality and finally noticed her appearance—her uniform shirt was soaked and clung to her body, revealing the clear outline of her underwear. Something flickered before her eyes, and as she reached to touch it, the dangling half of her false eyelashes fell into her hand.

Always considering herself superior, Liu Chang felt both ashamed and infuriated by her public humiliation.

With a cold snort, she snatched her bag, which a staff member had picked up for her, and huffed towards the exit.

Her high heels slipped on the wet floor, and she almost did the splits, which finally provoked laughter from the crowd behind her.

When Liu Chang turned her head to look back, everyone immediately straightened their faces; some looked at the floor, others at the sky, and the rest at their feet...

As she huffed out of the swimming pool, the crowd burst into collective laughter.

"Serves her right. She's just a manager but acts so high and mighty every day!"

"Exactly. Lucky for Xiaotang being here, otherwise, they'd probably accuse us of stealing, right?"

"But honestly, I never realized Manager Gan had such a fiery temper."

"Yeah, the way Manager Gan pushed her into the pool earlier was so cool!"

...

Li Guoli turned his face, and at that moment, Gan Tang had changed her clothes, and Gan Yuan was taking him to the exit.

The woman was now dressed in sportswear, standing tall and straight with a graceful figure. Her silhouette... was worlds apart from the usual Gan Yuan who wore loose-fitting uniforms and looked prematurely aged.

Li Guoli took a deep breath, "If the higher-ups ask about today's incident, remember to speak favorably of Manager Gan. It's not easy for a woman to raise a child on her own."

"Understood." The crowd responded in unison.

Even without Li Guoli's instruction, they wouldn't side with Liu Chang.

When Gan Yuan first started working at the hotel, her position was that of a room service attendant. In just a year and a half, her dedication and ability had taken her from that to the role of Senior Room Supervisor.

She always kept a low profile, was earnest and responsible at work, and didn't put on airs even after becoming a supervisor. Treating everyone from the general manager to the cleaning staff equally, she naturally won more hearts than Liu Chang, who had an overseas education and an air of arrogance.

The mother and son changed their clothes and headed downstairs to the parking lot. The little guy, Gan Tang, frowned slightly.

"You've offended Liu Chang this time; she'll surely seek revenge."

Gan Yuan's lips curled with nonchalance, "Your mommy is not someone to be trifled with, you know!"

Liu Chang had always disliked her, and this morning, because of Huangfu Jue, she outshined her again—friction with her was inevitable, and this incident was just an excuse for Liu Chang to make a scene.

Gan Yuan reached for a towel to dry her son's still damp hair, smiling as she spoke, "If you let those you dislike affect your mood, then you've lost. Understand?"

Liu Chang was a paper tiger, incapable of any new tricks beyond deliberately causing trouble or giving her the cold shoulder, none of which Gan Yuan cared about.

The little guy thought for a moment, nodded his head, and relaxed his expression, "Mommy, I understand."

Gan Yuan bent down to kiss his forehead and casually put an arm around his small shoulders.

"My son is so smart. Let's go, we're heading home!"

...

...

The next morning, as soon as Gan Yuan arrived at the hotel, she received a call from Li's assistant, informing her to report to the general manager's office.
