Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Xia Ning doesn’t understand what Gu Luan means. However, she can guess that it doesn’t mean anything good. She wonders whether what Gu Luan is going to do will influence her.

“Luan, Director Wan doesn’t have any bad intentions. She always likes you. You’d better wait to see unless she harms the interests of the company.”

“Ning, I know what I should do. It is fine. You may concentrate on your work.”

Xia Ning is aware that Gu Luan has made his decision and she is not expected to go on persuading him. It is correct that he needs to solve the problem about Wan Liqing, but it is too hasty for him to do it at present.

Anyway, once Gu Luan does anything, she has to keep alert with Wan Liqing.

When a woman gets jealous, it can be really horrible.

It is late and Zhang Hai is still waiting outside. Thinking about this, Xia Ning has a brief conversation with Gu Luan and leaves the ward.

When Xia Ning gets in the car, Wan Liqing arrives at the hospital. She sees Xia Ning from far away. She feels shocked!

Shit. Seemingly, the woman came to tell on her to Gu Luan!

That’s bad. If Gu Luan knows about the event and wants to leave her, it…

Wan Liqing feels a chill in her heart. She really can’t imagine the condition of losing Gu Luan again!

Yes. Gu Luan refused her and she felt sad. Therefore, she called Manager Wu out for supper. Actually, she made use of Manager Wu to heal herself. Unexpectedly, Xia Ning saw them by chance. Xia Ning is hostile to her. Can she let her go?

Wan Liqing feels worried. She runs in a hurry to Gu Luan’s ward.

She sees Gu Ruoruo coming out from the ward. She hides aside at once. After Gu Ruoruo passes by, Wan Liqing goes into the ward.

Gu Luan is lying quietly on the bed. Seemingly, he has just lain down.

Wan Liqing glances at the fruit basket beside the bed. It must be from Xia Ning.

Wan Liqing puts the flowers on the table. She goes to sit down quietly by Gu Luan. However, she has just sat down when Gu Luan opens his eyes.

“Why don’t you go home?”

Gu Luan’s voice sounds cold without any warmth. Wan Liqing feels her heart ache. She has just arrived, while he kicks her away at once!

“I miss you and I am worried about you.” Wan Liqing says. She takes the flowers beside her, “Let me go to change the water.”

When Wan Liqing comes back, Gu Luan has sat up. Wan Liqing is anxious, “Why don’t you wait for me to help you sit up? Your wound is still not recovered…”

“I will take care of myself.” Gu Luan takes a break. He turns to speak to Wan Liqing seriously, “Liqing, come here. I have something to talk with you.”

Hearing this, Wan Liqing feels a chill in her heart, wondering whether Xia Ning has told Gu Luan about the encounter.”

Wan Liqing feels unsure. She sits on the chair, “Luan, did I do anything wrong?”

If Gu Luan really knows, she may go ahead to apologize. If Gu Luan is angry, she actually will feel glad. After all, it means that Gu Luan cares about her.

“You have been back for two years and it seems that you have never asked for leave, don’t you?”

Wan Liqing nods. Vaguely, she feels something wrong, “Hum. I love my job, so I have never asked for leave.”

“I did a calculation. Your annual leave time is totally thirty days. Adding to the specially approved vacation, the company decides to give you a long holiday of two months. I will call you for the exact date for you to come back to work. You may take the time to have a trip for fun.

Wan Liqing feels confused to hear his words. After quite a while, she asks, “Luan, are you giving me a long holiday?”

“It is good to have a long holiday to have a rest. You worked hard during these two years. If you don’t think the time is enough, I may add some more days to you…”

“Is this Xia Ning’s idea?”

Before Gu Luan finishes his words, Wan Liqing stands up angrily, “Does she ask you to give me a long holiday? She wants is to kick me out of the company so that I don’t get in her way?”

Wan Liqing speaks in a loud voice. Gu Luan slightly frowns, “It has nothing to do with Xia Ning. It is my decision. Liqing, we are in the hospital. Mind your voice volume.”

“It is her decision and you are partial to her! You are partial to her even till now!” Wan Liqing ignores Gu Luan’s warning. Her eyes turn red, “She must have told on me, hasn’t she? What did she say about me? She must say that I went against her in the company. She must say that she saw me just now with someone else! I know she is vicious! Hum. She finally takes action…”

“Wan Liqing!” Gu Luan shouts to stop her, “Don’t make nonsense! Xia Ning mentioned nothing about you. Don’t take it wrong!”

“Yeah, right! I just saw her leave the hospital! I don’t understand. What is good about her? Why do you like her so much? Tell me. What else did she tell you? I am not convinced to have a long holiday and I want to know the reasons! You have to give me a convincing reason. Or, I will never leave the company.”

They look at each other and there is tense in the air. Gu Luan tightly purses his lips, feeling his chest vaguely ache.

“Whether you agree or not, I have approved the holiday. You may go to get yourself sober. After that, you can come back to World Era Weekly. I may stop here. It is late. I need to sleep. You may leave.”

Wang Liqing widens her eyes to look at Gu Luan unbelievably.

She can’t believe that he is kicking her away!

The flame of jealousy goes up from her heart. Wan Liqing grits her teeth to say word by word, “Did Xia Ning tell you what I was doing just now?”

Gu Luan frowns, wondering what Wan Liqing is saying. What happened just now?

“It is approved by me. Xia Ning said nothing about you…”

“You don’t need to be partial to her!” Wan Liqing roars, “Yes. I went to have supper with Manager Wu and Xia Ning saw us. It was my fault. I should not go out with other men. Luan, it won’t happen again. Will you forgive me?”

Manager Wu?

Gu Luan remembers him. Two days ago, the man kept calling him, requiring World Era Weekly to do an exclusive interview with him about his company.”

Jianhong Construction Company is a new company. It was set up less than five years ago. Gu Luan is arranging people to investigate it now, while Wan Liqing goes directly to have supper with the manager of it. As the saying goes, if you take the benefits in advance, you have to do things for other’s favor next. Therefore, Wan Liqing will surely say good words about Manager Wu. If it is handled by Leng Weiwei, this will be really troublesome.”

God. How can she get her personal issues involved with business?

The Wan Liqing he knew before never did such nonsense.

It seems that Ruoruo is right. If the condition goes on like this, Wan Liqing’s actions will bring some problems to the Weekly.

“I don’t mind your personal issues. I don’t want to know them, either. You may hand over your work tomorrow and go home the day after tomorrow.”

Wan Liqing is aware that Gu Luan has made his decision. She feels her heart sink. She is surer about that it is because of Xia Ning.

If Xia Ning didn’t mention anything, why does Gu Luan suddenly tell her to have a holiday? How can it be such a coincidence?

In addition, Xia Ning is clear about the relation between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan. She knows that she can make use of Gu Luan to kick Wan Liqing away.

Wan Liqing feels surprised. Xia Ning is always quiet. It turns out that she has been always looking for chances to get rid of Wan Liqing! She says that she doesn’t care, while actually, she is deadly vicious!

Wan Liqing glances at Gu Luan. Gu Luan darkens his face. A sense of displeasure is waving in his eyes.

Wait. Is Gu Luan really angry? Does he care about her?

If Gu Luan cares about her…

“Luan.” Wan Liqing softens her voice and gently cries. She blinks her beautiful eyes, “I know I am wrong. I apologize. I promise you that, in the future, without your permission, I will never go out with other men again. I will not even meet any men. Forgive me this time. Will you? I won’t do it again. Please forgive me. You know, I have been waiting for you all these years. You make me feel sad.”

At the end of her speech, Wan Liqing sadly purses her lips. She holds out her hand to draw Gu Luan’s sleeve.

Gu Luan twitches his eyebrows, which almost turn into a line. He glances at Wan Liqing who is drawing his sleeve. He feels disgusted.

What is she doing?

Does she think that he will withdraw his decision because she begs him? It might happen in the past. Now, she can make no waves in his heart.

The current Wan Liqing has changed into a totally different person, which looks like a stranger to him.

Faced with her, he wants to get away as far as possible.

Gu Luan raises his hand and puts it on Wan Liqing’s hand, which makes Wan Liqing feel very happy. However, the next action of him wipes the smile from Wan Liqing’s face.

He pats her to remove her hand!

Wan Liqing feels her heart stuck. She is on the edge of losing her temper. But she tries her best to control herself, “You are injured, so don’t be angry. I am really wrong this time. You may tell me to do whatever, but please not let me have a long vacation. From now on, I will always stay with you. I am going nowhere. I won’t meet any other men…”

“Wan Liqing.” Gu Luan responds indifferently, “I am done with you. Everything happened in the past is over. You will have fifteen days to hand over your work. The long vacation is temporarily decided to be two months. I will inform you when it is time for you to come back to the Weekly.”

Wan Liqing feels frozen all of a sudden!

“Go. It is late. I have to get some sleep. You need to go to work tomorrow. Don’t go home too late…”

“Do you really ask me to leave?” Wan Liqing asks word by word.

He said that she was given a long vacation to take some rest. Actually, he was firing her in another way!

When she comes back in two months, her power will have been taken away. At that time, if there is someone replacing her, it will be meaningless to stay in the company.

Wan Liqing looks at Gu Luan’s cold and emotionless face, wondering whether Gu Luan really wants her to leave the company.

Gu Luan nods. After he expresses his intentions, he closes his eyes and lies down on the bed.

Wan Liqing looks at the man lying on the bed. She clenches her fists.

Does he have to be so…heartless?

Wan Liqing stands there for quite a while in this way until the nurse comes to tell her that the visiting time is over. Wan Liqing is drawn back to consciousness.

Her eyes are blurred with tears. When she goes downstairs, Wan Liqing almost falls down. She bites her lips and tears fall down like beads from a broken thread.

She gets in her car and closes the door. Wan Liqing fails to control the sadness in her heart and cries out loudly.

Years of waiting ends up in his heartlessness. He doesn’t care about her any longer. He even told her to leave his company…

She can’t accept that. She really cannot resign to that!

She doesn’t understand in which point she is inferior to Xia Ning.

It is a cold night and everything around is in silence. The bitter cry is vaguely heard from the car from time to time.

At the time, the light of a car flashes. Wan Liqing holds out her hand to stop the light and closes her eyes. When she opens her eyes again, she finds that a car stops beside hers.
