Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 223

Shu Changlei's condition was getting better. A week after the operation, the tube could be removed

from his body. Then, he could sit up straight and walk with others' help, which finally comforted Ye

Lihua's anxious heart.

Shu Tian hired a nurse to help so that she only needed to keep him accompanied. After all, as Ye Lihua

was getting older, she had not enough energy to look after him by herself. With the help of the nurse,

she was not as tired as before.

Li Han visited here from time to time to bring some daily necessities and remind the medical staff to

provide more help. Li Han still cared about Shu Tian, while Shu Tian was no longer moved by him.

From her perspective, everything Li Han did now was to help Jiang Chujing. Shu Tian could never

forget nor forgive what had happened between them.

By accident, she caught a cold. Staying there for more than ten days, she was inevitably infected with

the flu. Afraid that it would affect Shu Changlei, she didn't go to the hospital.

Shu Tian went to the bank to withdraw some of the divorce compensation from Tang Zechen, so that

she could pay the cost of the operation.

After that, she took a taxi to the HY Law Office. She didn't inform anyone before she came, so Wei

Xiangming felt astonished when seeing Shu Tian standing in the office with her resignation application.

"What are you doing..."

Shu Tian put the application on the desk and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Ms. Wei. I've let you

down. I was in a series of troubles recently. I once thought I could make through, but now it seems..."

At this point, she paused and teased herself, "I've failed to make it."

Wei Xiangming looked at the signature on the resignation application but didn't take it, "Shu Tian, I

know your father's health problems. I can give you a leave to take care of your family. Do not resign

impulsively. You have excellent capabilities. It will be a pity to give up your job."

Shu Tian lowered her eyelids while her hands entangled with each other tightly. Suppressing the

impulse, she said in a deep voice, "Ms. Wei, I'm sorry."

Wei Xiangming sighed, "Shu Tian, you haven't finished your leave yet. Think about it for a few more

days. I won't urge you."

"No, thanks. I've made up my mind."

Wei Xiangming looked a little embarrassed, "As you know, the resignation approval has to be reported

to the superiors. As for your relationship Mr. Li, I can't..."

"I see." Shu Tian helped her finish the sentence, "You can just tell him."

Wei Xiangming felt surprised. She had a hunch that there was something wrong between them. She

appreciated Shu Tian, so she tried to persuade. However, seeing Shu Tian leave determinedly, she had

no choice but to call Li Han.

[...]

Li Han planned to talk to Shu Tian after Shu Changlei could be discharged. According to the report of

the doctor, Shu Changlei still needed a few days to recover.

However, before Shu Changlei could recover, Shu Tian had decided to resign.

When he heard the news, he was on his way from the hospital to the company. Then, he immediately

changed the destination, heading for the Imperial Villa.

He was afraid that something would happen if he didn't catch up with Shu Tian. He drove at awful

speed and even broke the traffic rules. In the end, she arrived earlier than Shu Tian, who had set off

earlier.

He sat in the car without moving. Then, Shu Tian walked out of the villa step by step with a calm

expression. Her calmness brought him a keen sense of fear.

Li Han put out the cigarette at his fingertips and opened the car door. Though the cold wind blew

violently, he didn't feel chilly with only a thin shirt and suit jacket. He kept walking towards Shu Tian.

Obviously, Shu Tian also noticed his approach, but she did not give any reaction and kept her pace.

Li Han grabbed her in a repressed rage when she was opening the door. To talk in calmness or not

would be decided at this moment.

Both of them were in bad mood, while Li Han felt worse.

Looking at the palm on her wrist and feeling the temperature of his body, she felt her heart missed a

beat. However, she repressed her emotions, "Don't touch me."

She didn't want him to touch her. The approach of him reminded her of his leaving with Jiang Chujing.

Everything treasurable got ruined by the pool on that day.

"You want to resign?" The rise and fall of his chest revealed his bad mood, "I've told you. Without my

permission, you cannot leave."

"Yes, you've told me." Shu Tian quickly answered him. After the response, she looked up at him

sarcastically, as if she were appreciating a joke, "Do you think you can tie me up with this? Don't be

naive. Now, I won't follow anymore."

So even if she had to break her head and bend her body, she chose to leave. She wanted to leave at

any cost.

Li Han could see the tease in her eyes. He felt as if his heart was stabbed by a sharp knife, which

caused the bleeding of all his organs. He felt he had been losing something treasurable. He clenched

his fists and repressed his roaring and mixed feelings, "Let's have a talk."

He repeated, "Shu Tian, let's have a talk."

"Talk about what?" Her eyes were wet, "About how I pushed Jiang Chujing down, or about how she

made my father sick, or about this weird relationship between the three of us?"

Li Han was speechless.

"Li Han, don't be ridiculous. I really can't stand it now. It's all my fault, okay? It's me who broke your

relationship. It's me who shouldn't be by your side. So let me leave to end everything, okay?" Shu Tian

couldn't hold back anymore. Tears rolled down from her eyes and finally streaked her face.

The sound of sobbing came from the depths of her throat, which sounded like a desperate howl from

her bones. Her words were imprinted on his heart, while his heart was clutched by her cry.

She wanted to leave.

How could she leave?

She was already a part of him. If she left, he would not be a whole person anymore. So, no. He would

not let her go as long as he was alive.

He wiped away the tears on her face. His movements were a little heavy which made her skin red, Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

while his voice was very soft, "Tian, as long as you don't leave, I will promise you anything."

Shu Tian didn't hesitate for a second, "No."

If she had heard this before, she would have been definitely moved. But now, it made her feel

disgusting.

She was really scared. She really wanted to end this relationship, at least now.

Because every time she closed her eyes, she would see the fall of Shu Changlei, the scene of Ye

Lihua's cry, the sneer of Jiang Chujing, and the Li Han's distrust in her.

These dark clouds would not be melted easily.

Her answer broke the last tenderness of Li Han and caused the fierce storm in his heart.

Li Han raised up the corner of his lips and gave her a creepy smile, "Want to leave me? You don't have

the ability!"

Before Shu Tian realized the meaning of his words, he had already dragged her into the room. Nanny

Li had already heard the noise at the door but did not dare to interfere. Seeing that Mr. Li was so

irritated, afraid that Shu Tian would be hurt, she stepped forward and tried to mediate the situation.

However, Li Han's cold eyes stopped her, "Get out!"

Shu Tian was afraid that Nanny Li would be hurt too, so she shook her head with tears, "Nanny Li,

don't worry..."
