"If only I’d brought so dumplings with ..." Zhang Te, in a mont of excitent, couldn’t help but voice his regret.
Han Jingnian quickly locked his screen and looked up at Zhang Te.
Realizing he’d spoken out of turn, Zhang Te quickly apologized with a smile, gingerly asking, "I an, I skipped breakfast and am craving so dumplings, would you like so, Mr. Han?"
Han Jingnian placed his phone under so files and replied coldly, "No need."
"Alright then, Mr. Han. I’ll start the work report for you..."
...
The icy aura around Han Jingnian lasted till afternoon, only then did the tension in the executive office sowhat eased.
He, who didn’t do much work in the morning, worked overti till 9:30 p.m. to finish the day’s tasks.
As he got into the car, seeing Zhang Te who had been staying with him these past few days, asked out of habit, "Are we heading ho, Mr. Han?"
Han Jingnian didn’t respond, but his brows and eyes turned cold.
Zhang Te couldn’t figure out his intentions, but seeing that he didn’t refuse, he drove towards ho.
Just as Zhang Te gripped the steering wheel and prepared to turn into the underground parking lot, Han Jingnian, sitting in the back seat, suddenly spoke up, "Let’s go to the Four Seasons Hotel."
...
He didn’t co ho tonight...
He didn’t co ho again tonight...
He still didn’t co ho tonight...
After three consecutive days when Han Jingnian didn’t return, Xia Wan’an gradually grew accustod to living alone in their 3000 square feet house.
She guessed that he ca ho these past few days to thank her for saving his cousin by applying dicine to her wounds.
Now that the wounds on her back had almost healed completely, he no longer ca ho...
Thankfully she hadn’t dared to hope for much then, so she wasn’t too upset or disappointed now.
Soon, a new month began.
During this ti, Han Jingnian never ca ho, and Xia Wan’an never bumped into him outside either.
The first day of the new month was Friday, the last day of the workweek. When Xia Wan’an arrived at the company and logged into the office communicator on her computer, she received a ssage from Ai Jiang.
Ai Jiang: "Wan’an, rember I told you I was changing jobs last month? Well, my new job is finally settled! I finished my hiring paperwork today. It’s my first official day at work!"
Xia Wan’an: "Really? Really? Congratulations then!"
Ai Jiang: "Hehe... Aren’t you curious where I’m working, Wan’an?"
Xia Wan’an: "Beg , and maybe I’ll show so curiosity."
Ai Jiang: "Huh? Put away your cold humor. Don’t be shocked when I tell you, I’m working at Han Family Corporation. We’re colleagues now!"
Xia Wan’an sent a happy emoji: "Really? Which departnt are you in? I’ll co to have lunch with you!"
Ai Jiang: "Really, why would I lie to you? I’m in the Executive Office. It’s so strict here though. Despite my work experience, they still put on a three-month probation."
Executive Office... Xia Wan’an paused, wasn’t that where Han Jingnian worked?
Ai Jiang: "Wan’an, you wouldn’t believe it. I didn’t think I would actually get the job. When they called last week, I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was dreaming!"
