Yufeng hadn't seen Xiaoyun for two days and there was no news from her at all. That damned girl didn't even send a message to say she was "okay"!
Didn't she know that going silent like this would make people worried?
Lately, Yufeng had a really bad temper due to his heartbreak and the inability to reach someone. At the company, he threw himself whole - heartedly into his work, more seriously than he'd ever been.
"President, here's the quarterly report. Please check it." The assistant walked in with a stack of reports and placed them on Yufeng's desk.
"Okay." Yufeng picked up the reports and began to check them carefully.
The assistant stood upright behind him.
"What's going on?" Yufeng suddenly threw the reports on the desk with a cold face. His slender finger pointed at a place on the report. "Look here."
"Ah..." The assistant lowered his head to look.
"You miscalculated by one percentage point here." Yufeng said. "How could you make such a small mistake!"
The assistant nervously glanced at the report. It seemed he really had miscalculated. He had long known that the president was highly capable, but he didn't expect that the president could spot the mistake just by taking a glance, and it was such a tiny percentage point.
"Sorry, President." Since he was derelict in his duty, he could only apologize sincerely.
"Redo it!" Yufeng tossed the reports back to him.
"Yes..." The assistant didn't dare to say anything else and left with the reports in his arms.
Phew... How scary! What on earth had happened to the president these two days? Why had he changed like this? The president used to be so humorous. Was he... heartbroken?
Although he thought it was unlikely, he still felt that the president's symptoms were very similar to those of a heartbroken man. But who would reject the president?
After the assistant left, the office door opened again. Without even raising his head, Yufeng said impatiently, "Don't you know how to knock?"
"Is this how you treat a lady? So fierce?" A female voice sounded at the door.
"Ah?" Yufeng came back to his senses. "It's you."
"Uh - huh." Su Mo'er walked into the room and sat on the sofa. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so angry?"
"Nothing." Yufeng rubbed the bridge of his nose. He felt a pent - up anger in his chest.
"Don't say it's nothing. Look at your face." Su Mo'er said bluntly. "You're clearly angry."
Yufeng frowned. "I'm not angry." He just felt a bit annoyed.
"It seems your confession was rejected." Su Mo'er joked.
Yufeng glanced at her. "You're gloating."
"Hehe." Su Mo'er chuckled. "No. I'll treat you to dinner. I'm leaving tomorrow anyway."
Yufeng put down his work. "Tomorrow?"
"Yes. Since you don't want to marry me, what's the point of my staying here?"
"..." Yufeng was speechless. "Wasn't it you who wanted to cancel the engagement?"
"But I didn't expect you to be so indifferent to me. I'm so sad." Su Mo'er said, but there was not a trace of regret on her face.
Yufeng smiled. "Okay. But I'll treat you. It's rare for you to come here, and I haven't shown you around yet."
"Fine. I'm in a hurry to go back and get married. You think I'm like you. You're already twenty - five and can't even get a girlfriend." Su Mo'er crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I'm also twenty - five. If I don't get married soon, I'll be old."
"Hehe. Who used to say that she'd never get married?" Yufeng mercilessly exposed her. "And said that only fools would have children."
Su Mo'er pretended to be stupid. "Really?"
"Isn't it?"
"Haha. Who can say anything about love? After I met Vincent, I realized that I could be so eager to get married. And even though I know giving birth is painful, I'm willing to do it." Su Mo'er said, every word from the bottom of her heart.
Yufeng clicked his tongue. "I didn't expect you to be assimilated by the American lifestyle."
Su Mo'er rolled her eyes at him. "Humph. Come on. Just admit you're jealous of me."
"Me? Jealous of you?" It was impossible!
"Yes. Jealous that I'm getting married before you." Su Mo'er said.
Yufeng stood up. "Let's go. Only food can shut your mouth."
"Since you're treating, I won't be polite."
"Sure, sure." Yufeng said. Anyway, he'd never regarded this childhood playmate as a girl. When they were kids, she was so tough, more rowdy than boys, and could eat a lot.
Although she'd grown into a lady now, it was only on the outside. Her true nature remained unchanged.
...
"Yunyun, have you made up your mind? It's already been two days, and your phone has been off. Do you really want to keep running away?" Yu Fei sighed and asked Xiaoyun, who was watching TV.
It was really strange. Even though there was an advertisement on TV, wouldn't she change the channel?
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Yu Fei walked up and patted Xiaoyun on the shoulder.
Xiaoyun came back to her senses. "What did you say?"
"Um..." Yu Fei paused. "What are you doing?"
"I'm thinking." Xiaoyun said. "But I just can't figure it out."
"..."
The living room fell into silence. Yu Fei thought for a while and asked, "Yunyun, what do you think now?"
"Um..." Xiaoyun pondered for a moment. "I don't know, but I really want to see him."
"Then go and see him."
"But I don't know what to say if I see him." She still hadn't decided how to reply to Yufeng. "Maybe he's already given up by now."
Yu Fei tapped Xiaoyun on the head. "Do you think falling in love is like having a meal? After one meal, it's over?" This love - idiot. "If you're really not sure about your feelings, go and see Yufeng. Maybe you'll understand then."
"..." Xiaoyun was a bit tangled. She wanted to go but also didn't want to.
"Come on. I'll go with you. Is that okay?" Yu Fei finally said helplessly.
Xiaoyun nodded reluctantly. "Okay... But if I feel too embarrassed, I'll leave. Don't stop me."
"Sure, sure." That was hard to say. Once they got there, would she still have a say?
Yufeng should be at work at this time. Xiaoyun and Yu Fei came to Yufeng's company. But they were told that Yufeng had gone out. "Hey? Isn't it still before lunch break?"
"Um..." The assistant thought for a while and said, "The president went out for lunch. It's just across the street."
"Okay. Thank you."
After thanking the assistant, Yu Fei pulled Xiaoyun across the street. "Yunyun, this is a chance. You should seize it."
"I know... Why are you more excited than me?" It felt like she was going to war.
Just as Yu Fei was about to go in, Xiaoyun suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Wait."
"What..."
Xiaoyun pointed over there. "Look..." There was a man and a woman sitting by the window. Wasn't the man Yufeng? But who was that woman?
"Who is that woman?" Yu Fei asked the question that was in Xiaoyun's mind.
"How should I know?"
Xiaoyun stood outside and sized up the two people inside through the glass. It seemed that they had a very good relationship. They were chatting and laughing while having lunch. The atmosphere was so harmonious.
Moreover... That girl was very beautiful and looked like a real lady. She was nothing like a wild girl like herself.
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Yu Fei asked.
"What's there to look at? It's obvious, isn't it? Yufeng has found a new girlfriend." Xiaoyun said calmly. "I told you so, but you didn't believe me."
Yu Fei glanced at her. "How do you know? You haven't even asked him."
"But it's so obvious, isn't it?" She said. "They get along so well."
"Yunyun..." Yu Fei said. "Are you jealous?"
"No."
"Don't deny it. You're clearly jealous." Yu Fei said. "Admit it. You've fallen in love with him."
Xiaoyun opened her mouth and after a while, she said, "So what? But he has a girlfriend now." Didn't that mean she had no chance?
"How do you know if you don't ask?"
"I don't want to ask..." Xiaoyun said. "Forget it. I'd better leave." After saying that, without waiting for Yu Fei's reaction, Xiaoyun ran away.
"Hey..." This silly girl was so impulsive!
"Um, Yu Fei?" Yufeng, who had just finished lunch and walked out, suddenly saw Yu Fei at the door. "Why are you here?"
"I..."
Great. One had run away, and now he was here. Oh... What a mess!
