Once Upon A One Night Stand novel 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.
