Chapter 50: There Must Be a Fool among Them.
Proofread by Peter Gong
Su Ni nods and smiles sweetly. “Fortunately, the two finally make up.”
“Let’s go.” Gu Zechen gets up. He doesn’t care about the ending at all.
Su Ni hurriedly follows. “If they do not make up, my tears would be unnecessary. It’s really touching.”
Listening to her nagging behind, Gu Zechen cannot help speeding up his pace. He vows that it is the most wrong decision he made this year. Seeing romantic movies with a woman means that it is he not Su Ni who has no brains.
“Are you bored?” Su Ni asks.
“Um.” It’s an undisguised answer.
Su Ni is a little embarrassed. “Why don’t you go? Actually the movie is not good.”
After saying that, she laughs for she doesn’t believe her words, either. After that, she leans over, and Gu Zechen obviously dodges for a while. Su Ni notices that the wrinkles on the shirt must be caused by her. She cannot help being embarrassed.
“Did I cry ugly?” Su Ni asks sheepishly, clapping his sleeve to smooth the wrinkles.
“You go back first. There’s something else I have to deal with in the company.” Gu Zechen simply avoids Su Ni’s question.
“OK.” Su Ni nods obediently. Seeing him looking at his watch from time to time, she thinks that this man is busy. Then he doesn’t have to spare time to watch the movie with her. However, Su Ni is very satisfied. What he did for her even dilutes the pain of the cup printed with a lipstick. When Gu Zechen returns to the company, the Secretary reports that Guan Ning has been waiting for a while. He cannot help feeling unpleasant.
“Didn’t I tell you? Don’t come to the company if you have nothing to do.” Gu Zechen is impatient. In his mind, Su Ni’s cry and tears are still lingering.
“I know. I want to have dinner with you.” Guan Ning says in low voice. Although Gu Zechen doesn’t want her to come, but every time she comes, Gu Zechen will not say anything, which gives her the courage to do again. Sure enough, Gu Zechen takes off his coat and hands it to her. He sits down in front of the desk and doesn’t ask again. Guan Ning smiles and walks over to help Gu Zechen to gently massage his scalp. Gu Zechen suddenly flies into a fury, and with a wave of his hand Guan Ning stumbles to the ground. Seeing she is so weak, Gu Zechen feels an increasing headache. She is like nothing but a walking shadow. However, in this world, he cannot see many faces like hers.
“Get up.”
Gu Zechen slows down his voice and helps Guan Ning up personally. Guan Ning weeps, and her white face becomes paler. “Mr. Gu, do I hurt you?”
“It’s none of your business.” Gu Zechen helps her arrange her scattered hair. Guan Ning is directly in a daze and stares at Gu Zechen. She has been with Gu Zechen for such a long time. She has never seen such a gentle look of Gu Zechen. She is excited and twitches her mouth.
But she doesn’t say nothing. In addition, Gu Zechen sits down again, returning to his normal way. “You are going to graduate, right?”
“Soon, next month.” Guan Ning is nervous.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Um.”
Gu Zechen nods and smoothly signs his name on the material, saying. “There’s a good job in Shendu, which is also in line with your major…”
At his words, Guan Ning’s tears fall. Then she kneels by Gu Zechen’s feet and drags his pants. “Mr. Gu, do you want to fire me? What have I done wrong?”
Gu Zechen has no choice but to rub his temple. “You get up first.”
“No, unless Mr. Gu doesn’t let me go.” Guan Ning tightly leans on Gu Zechen, her tears falling like rain.
The last tenderness in Gu Zechen’s eyes is also eliminated. He gets up and pushes away Guan Ning. Looking at the tearful woman, Gu Zechen no longer shows tenderness. “You’ve been with me for so long. Don’t you know what I hate most is someone threatening me? I will give you respect now. You can leave my company by yourself. Otherwise, I can only ask you out. ”
Guan Ning’s shoulders tremble and she looks up at Gu Zechen in fear.
“Get out!”
Gu Zechen squeezes out a sentence coldly from his teeth. “Don’t say half a word about me. Otherwise…”
“I… I see.” Seeing Gu Zechen’s resolute attitude, Guan Ning compromises. She knows that if she keeps pestering him, she will only make her ending worse. At the door, Su Ni sees that the Secretary wants to stop her. She is puzzled. She pushes the door open and sees Guan Ning rising from the ground. She is surprised. It seems that she guesses right. The woman in Gu Zechen’s office this morning is Guan Ning.
So Gu Zechen rushes back in such a hurry in order to see Guan Ning. When she thinks that Gu Zechen is busy to wander between two women, Su Ni’s face is a little embarrassed.
“Not yet?” Inside, there is a shout. Guan Ning wipes her tears and her makeup blurs. She looks at Gu Zechen in agony. At last, she lowers her head and comes quickly to Su Ni who stands aside. She clearly remembers how this woman stood beside Gu Zechen at the beginning and swaggered before her. What’s wrong with her today? Does Gu Zechen abandon the old for the new?
“Excuse me, please.” Guan Ning squeezes some words out of her mouth. Su Ni stares at that face which looks extremely aggrieved and humiliated. She is calm. Until Gu Zechen urges impatiently again, Su Ni lets her go. The Secretary has already helped to close the door. Now, the office is quiet at first as if she can hear her heart beating.
“I am going to wait for you to come home together. I called you but I can’t get through.” Su Ni explains. Now she doesn’t know where to stay. Gu Zechen sits down at his desk again. His indifferent expression seems that nothing happened. Su Ni is embarrassed.
“If you’re going to work overtime, it’s the same for me to go back first.” After a while, Su Ni says to herself. Seeing that Gu Zechen doesn’t talk, Su Ni smiles and turns around and opens the door.
“Don’t you want to ask something?” Gu Zechen closes the data. There seems to be more fidgetiness in his calm eyes. Su Ni doesn’t know why. She wants to laugh at that moment. What happened just now? Why can’t the man calm down?
“I don’t think you want to explain. So I don’t ask.” After all, everyone knows something about Guan Ning. There is no necessity to pick it up again and make people embarrassed.
Gu Zechen nods, “Indeed.”
“Then I’ll go first.” Getting Gu Zechen’s answer, Su Ni is upset, but she already knows that.
17:30 p. m.
Gu Zechen seldom gets off work on time and returns home on time. Su Ni accompanies An Rong downstairs and greets him affectionately when she sees him, as if nothing has happened.
