Mysterious?
At the thought of the gift, Wen Shuyue got thrilled and her heart beat faster. It was the first time she had ever received a meaningful gift from a man since childhood.
Although Wen Shuyue had received many gifts when Lu Junhan courted her, she found those gifts disgusting now and didn’t value them at all.
“I said eyes closed. Just do as I said.” When seeing Wen Shuyue still staring at him, He Siming frowned slightly and covered her eyes with his big hand.
The light aroma of mint found its way to Wen Shuyue’s nose. Being delighted, she closed her eyes obediently in case He Siming got angry while imagining what the gift was.
But the gift couldn’t be something romantic since it was too early for He Siming to give Wen Shuyue such gifts now.
“Open your eyes.”
He Siming said word by word in a charming voice. Every single one of his words appealed to Wen Shuyue.
When she opened her eyes carefully, the first thing that came into her eyes was a fancy crystal ball. Inside the crystal ball, there were models of a family of three and snowflakes.
“It’s the Christmas limited edition. How did you get it?” Wen Shuyue almost jumped with joy.
She had longed to buy this edition. But she had no access to buy it since she wasn’t able to build a good relationship with the salesgirls.
But she never expected He Siming had the same taste as hers and she was even happier to receive the crystal ball, which she wanted so badly, than jewelry.
Apparently, He Siming knew she would be happy to receive the gift. He said in a softer tone, “You like it?”
Wen Shuyue nodded without thinking. “Yeah, I love it. Can you tell me how you got this? I’ve asked many people but none of them could get it for me.”
Apart from Wen Baobao’s gift, this was definitely the best gift she had ever received.
Upon seeing her happy face, He Siming subconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth when he watched her silently with irrecoverable love in his amber eyes.
“I can buy anything I want,” He Siming said gently with a touch of solemnness, which was like a hint that he was powerful enough to protect her.
When Wen Shuyue raised her head subconsciously, she happened to meet He Siming’s eyes. They looked at each other silently with deep love in their eyes.
The moment when they cared about each other sneakily was also nice. It was romantic enough though they didn’t confess their love to each other.
Wen Shuyue had a good time this Christmas Eve and spent the night in He Siming’s house.
When she went downstairs for work the next morning, she heard some servants gossiping.
“Do you think Mr. He really likes Miss Wen? Does he really let go of the past?”
“How should I know? But I think he’s really nice to her. They must be closer than we imagine because of their son.”
“I’m afraid Mr. He the Senior and Mrs. He won’t agree on their relationship. Alas, Senior Mr. He has already selected his daughter-in-law. Mr. He the Junior and Miss Wen may have a hard time in the future.”
“…”
To the rest of their conversation, Wen Shuyue didn’t listen carefully because her mind was filled with the wife He Siming’s father had selected for him.
He Siming must have known that. How come he was still so nice to Wen Shuyue, gave her a gift and hung out with her since he was well aware that they couldn’t end up together?
It hurt her so much that she could hardly breathe.
“Mommy, Daddy said it’s time for lunch.”
Wen Baobao came before Wen Shuyue realized and pulled her back from her thoughts.
She tried hard to suppress her emotions before she squatted down and said to Wen Baobao with a smile, “Sweetheart, Mommy has to go to work now, so I can’t have lunch with you.”
“But Daddy said it’s still early. Plus, CEOs don’t go to work that early. Mommy, are you unhappy? Or did you have a bad sleep?” Wen Baobao looked at her with confusion on his naive face.
Wen Shuyue knew that Wen Baobao wouldn’t buy it, so she sighed resignedly and said in a serious tone, “But it’s really something important. Sorry, Baobao, I really have to go now.”
Upon finishing her words, Wen Shuyue kissed Wen Baobao, grabbed her bag and left the room.
Wen Baobao had something else to say, but Wen Shuyue didn’t give him a chance to speak and left directly.
He Siming happened to walk out of the room when Wen Shuyue walked past it, but she didn’t even take a look at him.
“Why do you leave so early?” He Siming asked in a low voice with confusion.
He walked ahead and grabbed her by the hand before she left the house.
With her eyes closed, Wen Shuyue regained her composure and said to him with a faint smile, “I have something urgent to deal with in my company.”
“What is it?” Sensing that something was wrong, He Siming didn’t spare her.
Why didn’t he just let her go?
Finding it ridiculous, Wen Shuyue rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t think I need to report my company’s business to you. I’ll come back to visit Baobao when I have time. I’ve got to run now.”
She shook his hand off fiercely and left without turning her head around.
Watching Wen Shuyue receding, He Siming knitted his eyebrows tightly. At this moment, he felt empty in his heart as if he lost something.
Wen Shuyue finally seized the chance to leave. She reached the office soon and tried to distract herself with work. But the whole thing influenced her so much that she couldn’t concentrate on work.
“Miss Wen, you’re early today. Did you also hear about the news?” Xiaolu was surprised to see Wen Shuyue when arriving at the office.
“What news?” Wen Shuyue asked without raising her head. She tried to keep her sad face from Xiaolu and didn’t want to influence Xiaolu with the negative status.
