Stop There, Daddy

“He Siming, let me go. There’re still other people here.” Wen Shuyue’s face turned red. She whispered in his ear in a low voice, afraid that someone would come over.

However, He Siming didn’t take her words seriously at all. He grinned, “Then will you wear such a revealing dress next time? Hmm?”

“No. I will never dress like this again.” Wen Shuyue answered unhurriedly. She knew too well that the only thing she should do under this circumstances was to obey him. Or else He Siming would go to any lengths to get what he wanted.

Hearing her answering so explicitly, He Siming let go of her with satisfaction. He was never meant to scare her but merely treating it as a joke. Her softness, however, had been lingering in his mind the whole time, arousing his desire for her.

How effortlessly this woman had attracted him, He Siming thought, though he had expected it, he now just wanted to be closer to her.

Wen Shuyue wrapped her marten fur coat tightly. Clearly, she was afraid that He Siming would had another abrupt assault. She sniffled and suddenly remembered something. Feeling puzzled, she asked, “Aren’t you afraid on such an important occasion that the media would reveal those words you said to me today?”

She was sure that if there was any gossip about them, both she and He Siming would be affected. There would undoubtedly be a big strike against them.

“I dare they. Otherwise, I would not do this in front of them.” He Siming said calmly as if what he said was unquestionable.

He knew these people inside out. Although they were often gossiping around him, they didn’t dare to leak any big news at all. Or else, if anything happened, they wouldn’t even be able to protect their entire clan.

No one would joke around with their personal interests. More importantly, no one would dare to joke on him.

Wen Shuyue looked at him in a daze. A feeling that this man in front of her was so charming had struck her. Although she had always been feeling this way, she now became more infatuated with his invasion. She couldn’t help but muttering, “I finally understand why so many women like you so much.”

Because you are worth everyone’s liking, because liking you would give people a sense of security. As long as they are by your side, you would have a sense of security.

“Silly girl, stop worrying about those nonsense. I will help you no matter what happens.” Obviously, He Siming had no idea what Wen had just muttered.

Nevertheless, it was true that he would protect her anyway since he had promised her that he wanted to be with her, he then would stick to it.

“Ok.” Wen Shuyue nodded her head nonstop; her heart filled with inexplicable joy and excitement.

This might be the only moment of this whole day when she was finally feeling happy. Despite those difficulties that she knew would come someday anyway – it was just a matter of time, for now, Wen Shuyue just wanted to enjoy this moment. She kept thinking about that scene where He Siming saying he wanted to be with her.

Next day, Wen Shuyue arrived the company early as to make up yesterday’s absence. She didn’t expect that Xiaolu had already started bustling around.

“Why did you come so early?” asked Wen Shuyue.

Indeed, she was shocked by Xiaolu. Even though Xiaolu had always been an early bird, it shouldn’t have been this early. Clearly, she came this early in order to finish something she should’ve done yesterday.

A smile appeared on Xiaolu’s face as she finally saw Wen Shuyue coming. She said excitedly, “Oh Miss Wen, you are here! You didn’t even take my call last night. I was almost scared to death.”

“What happened?” Wen Shuyue’s face darkened, with an ominous feeling suddenly arising in her heart.

Xiaolu quickly walked Wen Shuyue through what had happened yesterday. It turned out that the initial plan that Wen had done earlier had been stolen and they couldn’t found it anywhere. Ultimately, Gu Ning got infuriated and asked Xiaolu to contact Wen.

Of course, Xiaolu failed to reach Wen Shuyue. She was so afraid to tell Gu Ning that she had to stay up all night working in the office just to make it up. But she was not Wen Shuyue; there were too many things she was not good at. Having worked sleeplessly, she yet still had a lot left.

Wen Shuyue’s eyes reddened. She patted Xiaolu on the shoulder and said gratefully, “Thank you, Xiaolu. You’ve done enough for me. Now, go back home and have a rest. Today, I’ll give you a day off.”

“No, I can’t. If we don’t finish the plan as soon as possible, Mr. Gu will definitely hold you to account.” Xiaolu shook her head heavily, thinking that no way she would leave Wen Shuyue to finish it alone at this time.

Even so, having thanked Xiaolu again, Wen Shuyue insisted and told Xiaolu to go home and have a rest.

Since it was her problem, she wanted to resolve it on her own. She would definitely not let anyone take on her mess. However, one thing Wen Shuyue couldn’t figure out was who would have the chance to steal her plan.

Mostly, few people in her office could enter. She trusted Xiaolu 100%. Xiaolu by no means would sell her out. Unless…

Anyway, who else had ever entered?

“Tung-tung! Miss Wen, Mr. Gu asked you to go to his office.”

Someone knocked on the door outside and pulled Wen Shuyue back from her thoughts.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She tried hard to calm down. After tidying up herself, she went to Gu Ning’s office with what Xiaolu had prepared.

Surprisingly, things turned out differently. She had thought that Gu Ning would be angry. She didn’t expect that Gu Ning would have looked at her calmly, as if she hadn’t gone wrong.

“Have you learnt anything about this matter?” After a long time, Gu Ning finally opened his mouth.

Immediately, Wen Shuyue understood his intention. She nodded and said in a gentle voice, “It’s all my fault. If I had been more thoughtful, this thing would never have happened.”

“No, that’s not true. It is not because you are too thoughtless, but because you are too kind to suspect others easily. That’s how this series of problems has been caused,” Gu Ning said calmly.

Although he hadn’t seen many things with his own eyes, he was still a highly experienced president. By no means those things could get away from his eyes. But he didn’t expect that Wen Shuyue could be fooled so easily.

These words exposing her weakness inadvertently struck Wen Shuyue. She lowered her head without saying anything, allowing Gu Ning to continue giving his speech.

“I don’t know how you have become like this. But there is one thing I must tell you: I like the once confident and proud Wen Shuyue, and I need that Wen Shuyue. So from now on, you must have 100% confidence, and…”

Speaking of this, Gu Ning suddenly paused and stared at her for a long time again, then said, “I have decided to leave this plan to other people so that you can take on more work with Lu Junhan’s project.”
