The gloom which filled all Shu Ting's thoughts dissipated because of his words. "Don't go back on what you said."
Hearing the pleasant tone of voice, the man remembered her acting spoiled. The coldness on his face instantly disappeared, and his tone was indulgent. "Never. You can have a check then."
Shu Tian put her feet up and muttered, with her face flushed, "You bastard..."
From last night until now, Li Han rarely smiled happily. "Get up. I'll wait for you at the company, okay?"
Hearing his voice, Shu Tian's anger was totally gone. Her voice was as soft as if it had been made up of sugar. "Okay."
After some words, Li Han hung up the phone and called Ling Junze. The softness in his words disappeared, instead, he ordered coldly, "Ask two of George's nurses to North Villas. Chujing said she was dizzy last night. I was worried about her."
Ling Junze had just arrived at the office, without putting off his briefcase. "Dizzy? Is there any other wrong? This has never happened before."
"Not yet." Li Han was concerned as well. "Could it be the long-time flight?"
"Maybe" Ling Junze answered, sitting in his chair. Seeing the cup of hot tea on the table made by Tian Sangsang, he took a sip. His mouth was quickly pervaded by the faint scent of jasmine. "I'll send someone over there this afternoon. Don't worry. It doesn't matter if she only feels dizzy. Chujing's been sick for a long time. Don't scare yourself."
"Well, thank you."
"Hey," Ling Junze sighed. "Never mind."
The two of them talked for a while longer. After talking about serious things, they always talked about personal matters. Ling Junze slowly asked, in a tentative voice,"Chujing is back. Shu Tian didn't notice, did she?"
"I stayed in North Villas all night. She was somewhat unhappy, but I've coaxed her into forgiving me."
"Did she forgive you?"
"Yes."
"Hey, Shu Tian is nice, and she really believes in you. She can forgive you after your few words. To be honest, you feel guilty, right?" Ling Junze had been Li Han's trusted friend for so many years and he knew Li Han well.
Li Han was not only guilty, but he was also even a little disappointed in himself.
"I won't do anything that hurts her." He said in a low voice as if he were talking to Ling Junze as well as himself.
It was his only excuse.
Ling Junze was a little speechless, and he cursed incoherently, "Why is it so difficult to love someone?"
In the past, Li Han hadn't found the one he loved. Now, the one appeared, but Jiang Chujing was in the way.
If it were Ling Junze who was impatient, he would have cut his hair and turn into a monk.
Li Han smiled bitterly. "Don't touch something like love. I've fallen in love with Shu Tian. It's no use to regret."
Ling Junze gasped, not knowing how to comfort Li Han.
[...]
Meanwhile, the driver arrived at Imperial Villa on time to pick up Shu Tian and drove her to the company. On the way, Shu Ting was reading the email when she received a call from Ye Lihua.
"Hello, mom?"
"Tian, where are you now?"
Shu Tian looked out the window. "I'm on my way to work."
