Stop There, Daddy

The staff members all lowered their heads and dared not to speak anymore. Clearly, they were afraid that they might upset Wen Shuyue again with things they didn’t mean.

Although people often gossiped about her behind her back, no one could question Wen Shuyue’s ability. After all, just by the fact that under her leadership, the overall performance of the company was much better than before, her ability was already proven.

“I hope you all can learn to mind your own business. Don’t just allow others to say things that are not true. If I hear about it again, I will hold you to account.” After giving them a warning, Wen Shuyue gave them a final glance and then left.

She had never paid much attention to these rumors as she knew she couldn’t decide what others thought. If they didn’t believe it, it would be useless to say anything.

The reason why she rebuked them this time was, indeed, because she was infuriated. How come they just described it as a fight?

“Miss… Wen?”

As soon as Wen Shuyue returned to her office, Xiaolu averted her gaze as if she was hiding something, which was rather obvious.

Seeing her like this, Wen Shuyue could not help frowning and asked, “What’s going on with you? Why are you looking at me like this? ”

Xiaolu pursed her lips, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but eventually she opened her mouth, “I just accidentally picked up your call. Mr. Gu said you must go to meet him tonight. He had something important to tell you.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Even though Xiaolu’s voice went enervated, Wen Shuyue still heard it.

She didn’t expect that Gu Ning could be still looking for her at this moment. Surely it could be true that he indeed had something to tell her. But she just had this ominous feeling that what if Gu Ning would make some trouble again? That would be the least she wanted now as she and He Siming just went back together.

“Miss Wen, Mr. Gu seemed quite sincere in the call. He said he just wanted to see you and spell out those things that happened in the past.” Seeing Wen Shuyue’s cloudy face, Xiaolu opened her mouth again.

“I see. Thank you. I will consider it. You can go back to work.” Wen Shuyue nodded and soon went back to her usual state.

Even if she had to go tonight, she would tell He Siming first. Anyway, any unnecessary trouble should be avoided…

Speaking of which, He Siming happened to pass by MK when he came out to deal with something. He wanted to go in several times, but in the end, he didn’t.

“President He, if you want to go to see Miss Wen, why not just do it? I think Miss Wen will be very happy to see you.” Guan Yue couldn’t hold on anymore, so he spoke out.

Hearing this, He Siming rolled his eyes at him and raised his thin lips slightly, forming an inexplicable smile.

After hesitating in the car for a moment, he finally called Wen Shuyue. The smile on his face went more enchanting.

“Hi.”

Wen Shuyue’s voice came out from the other end. He Siming’s face, handsome and yet cold a second ago, instantly turned soft. He asked tenderly, “When are you off duty?”

“Soon, but I have something to do tonight. Gu Ning, he…”

The smile on He Siming’s face instantly stiffened as soon as he heard Gu Ning’s name. His tone then went colder, “What is he up to? You have no problem with going to see him?”

“No, it’s not what you thought. He said he must talk to me in person, so I think it’s a good idea to make everything clear. Don’t you think so?” Immediately, Wen Shuyue felt worried. She had already known that He Siming would be unhappy, and yet she still told him.

He Siming fell silent. How could any man be happy when his own woman wanted to meet his rival? Needless to say, he was He Siming, a control freak that couldn’t allow such a thing to happen at all.

Neither of them said anything. Both He Siming and Wen Shuyue were waiting for the other to speak. Time went so fast and yet Guan Yue felt as if it had stopped.

“Mr Gu, how about you and Miss Wen go there together?” Guan Yue finally broke the unbearable silence and said it out carefully.

However, as soon as he finished his words, He Siming’s dark eyes swept over him coldly. Frightened, Guan Yue quickly averted his gaze and dared not say one more word.

“I know that you don’t want me to see him, but, after all, he is my boss. It would only do more harm than good if I don’t get along well with him. Plus, it’s just a meeting to put everything on the table, not a date.”

Wen Shuyue’s voice came over again as He Siming didn’t say a word for a while.

He Siming lowered his head and pondered. After thinking for a while, he said, “Since you really want to go, then go. But I must remind you that men are terrifying when they are angry. You must be careful.”

“Don’t worry. I will never let anything happen to myself.” Wen Shuyue clearly sighed in relief. She was afraid that He Siming wouldn’t agree.

After the call was hung up, He Siming raised his head, had a looked at MK, and then instructed Guan Yue to drive away.

Wen Shuyue had no idea that He Siming had already come over. Her mind was busy thinking about the meal that she was going to have with Gu Ning tonight. Although she didn’t know Gu Ning so much, as far as she knew, if he really wanted to make it hard for her, by that time…

“What a headache.”

Wen Shuyue stretched her hand out and rubbed her temple. As soon as she started thinking about this again, the headache went back. She didn’t expect that while she used to wish Gu Nuning would be interested in her, she now only found this interest a burden.

How good would it be if he had said it earlier? Maybe they would be together at that time, but now, it was too late to say anything.

Feeling helpless, Wen Shuyue called Lin Lin and asked her to come over.

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you looking for me if you’re going to have a date with Mr. Gu?” After hearing Wen Shuyue’s explanation, Lin Lin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Clearly, she was somewhat unhappy.

Wen Shuyue forced a smile and then pulled her hand as if begging, “Because I don’t know how to deal with it. If you can come with me, I can at least have someone to count on. Please, Lin Lin. I really don’t know what to do.”

Had there been any other way, Wen wouldn’t ask Lin Lin for a favour, since in that case, not just two, but three of them would feel awkward.

“Fine. Then I’ll help you figure out a way. After Gu Ning comes, I’ll go to the booth next to yours. If anything happens, call me immediately.” So kind as Lin Lin to Wen Shuyue, she seemed to have given her everything she just asked.
