At first, Wen Shuyue only had a little crush on He Siming, but now she definitely had more than just a crush on him.
She knew it so well that she wouldn’t be taken captive easily under the erotic environment if she didn’t like the man. Or else, she wouldn’t have been single all these years.
Wen Shuyue tossed and turned for the whole night. The next morning, she woke up and went to see Baobao before she left He Siming’s villa.
“Miss Wen, you ‘haven’t had breakfast yet. Are you really in such a rush?” the butler asked with a smile.
Wen Shuyue nodded and answered with an awkward smile, “I don’t have time for breakfast. I need to get back to the office. Thanks for your considerate arrangement.”
“But…”
The butler didn’t give up persuading, but Wen Shuyue had already run off with her head lowered. She really hated to stay in this place any longer or to see He Siming again.
She found it embarrassed to have had such an erotic experience with He Siming who said something lustful to her. Therefore, she couldn’t help making a blind conjecture that He Siming also had feelings for her.
“Alas!”
But thinking about it couldn’t make it happen. Wen Shuyue sighed resignedly that one-side love could really cause great pain, especially when the man/woman didn’t know how the woman/man felt for him/her.
“Miss Wen, you’ve been sighing since you came back. Everything alright?” Xiaolu looked at Wen Shuyue with concerns.
Um?
When Wen Shuyue came to her sense from a daze, she saw Xiaolu staring at her. Wen Shuyue twitched the corner of her lips awkwardly and said with faked calmness, “It’s alright. Just focus on your work. Don’t worry about me.”
“But you’ve been making mistakes on this data report, which isn’t allowed, Miss Wen.” Compressing her lips, Xiaolu was getting more anxious.
Wen Shuyue had never made such silly mistakes before, but she did these days. Xiaolu keep her eyes on Wen Shuyue in case Wen Shuyue made any mistakes again.
Xiaolu pulled Wen Shuyue back to reality. Upon seeing the wrong numbers, Wen Shuyue put on a gloomy look and didn’t even know what to do.
Like people said, women in love would become fools. In the past, Wen Shuyue often mocked Lin Lin as a fool. But this time, Wen Shuyue was the fool. If the data report was handed in, their company would probably face large compensation.
“Miss Wen, why don’t you take a day off? I’m afraid something will go wrong if you continue working like this,” Xiaolu reminded since Wen Shuyue was totally not herself today.
Wen Shuyue nodded and caressed the temples, looking a bit exhausted. “Um. Many things have been bothering me these days. I should really stop working in this condition. I’ll go talk to Mr. Gu.”
In Gu Ning’s Office
Wen Shuyue waited outside till Gu Ning finished the talk with other people.
Upon seeing Wen Shuyue, Gu Ning perceived a unique look in her eyes and said with a light smile, “You look so different. Any good news?”
“Good things seldom happen to me. As long as troubles stay away from me, I won’t ask for more,” Wen Shuyue said in a tricky way, trying to warn Gu Ning not to have her work in Mannis.
Gu Ning was smart enough to get her idea, which didn’t bother him at all. Gu Ning shrugged the shoulders and said with a light smile, “What if someone picks on you? What will you do?”
Wen Shuyue’s face turned solemn, so did the atmosphere in the office. Suddenly, Wen Shuyue came across the contract about mutual terms on the table.
When Wen Shuyue picked it up without thinking and read it carefully, her face twisted.
“Mr. Gu, do you mean it that I work for Mannis?” Wen Shuyue shot a confusing gaze at Gu Ning. After all, Wen Shuyue was the CEO of MK China Office, so Gu Ning should have talked to her before making such a big decision.
Shrugging the shoulders with a smile, Gu Ning faked to be innocent. “It’s just a short-term learning. It’s not like you will never come back. I thought I’ve made it clear over the last few talks.”
“You did talk to me about this, but I didn’t agree, did I? Mr. Gu, you’ve overestimated me. He Siming is really not into me,” Wen Shuyue blurted. Even though she would have more chances to be with He Siming if she worked in Mannis, she was unwilling to betray He Siming.
Wen Shuyue had known Gu Ning as a treacherous person, but she never expected Gu Ning would do something totally disregarding other people’s feelings.
“We’ll talk about this. All you need to do now is learn something. I’ll send you there in a few days.” Upon finishing his words impatiently, Gu Ning waved goodbye to her.
Wen Shuyue wanted to say something but didn’t speak it out in the end and left, exhausted.
She had a foreboding that this would happen. Unexpectedly, it happened so soon that she didn’t have time to react at all.
“Miss Wen, you have a visitor.”
Xiaolu said to Wen Shuyue as soon as Wen Shuyue came back to the office.
But who would come to meet Wen Shuyue at this moment? Lu Junhan, Qin Weiwei, or Lin Lin?
But Wen Shuyue’s intuition told her it was none of them. She stopped guessing and followed Xiaolu to the restroom. Upon seeing the person in the room, Wen Shuyue was astonished.
“Mom? What brings you here?” Wen Shuyue couldn’t believe her eyes. It was her mother who had been in custody. Why did Lu Junhan and Qin Weiwei let her mother out so easily?
When noticing Wen Shuyue’s confused look, her mother explained hastily, “I sneaked out. I have to tell you something. Lu Junhan has your father kept in a prison. If you go against him, I’m afraid he’s likely to hurt your father.”
Wen Shuyue looked gloomy to hear that. She was very happy to know her father was still alive. But she hoped her father died in peace when she was told her father had suffered a lot.
Feeling anguished, she closed her eyes and patted her mother on the shoulder when saying softly, “Don’t worry about Dad. I’ll find a way to save him. But it’s absolutely impossible for MK to cooperate with the Lu Group.”
“Not even a chance? Do you really want your father to be bullied in the prison?” the mother said as her eyes turned bloodshot.
“Mom, I don’t mean that. I just…”
