Chapter 58: Can’t Be Nice To You
At this time, Team Leader Gu missed Song Ran badly as he was terrible with words. With Song Ran around, she could put Wen Huihui to shame and send her running away in just a few words.
But now, a slow remedy could not meet an urgency. Without Ran, there was no way for him to scold Wen Huihui while disregarding his conduct. But Wen Huihui’s behavior was out of the norm. How could she come over and hit on her bestie’s boyfriend?
A gentleman always suffers a loss in silence!
No matter what, Wen Huihui was not bothered by Gu Jinghang. She wanted to show off her virtuous character and seep her tenderness in him just like the spring rain, quietly and subtly. She also believed that she might not touch Gu Jinghang in just a day or two with her kindness. But she would definitely warm his heart after a year or two, even if his heart was made of stone.
Without any rush, she hand-washed his sweater and remained calm although she could sense Gu Jinghang’s growing anxiety.
Gu Jinghang was anxious. How could he not be? The last bus was almost gone, and the weather outside was terrible. What if Wen Huihui wanted to…
He did not dare to think about it…
“Hey, Jinghang! Why are you standing at the door? Aren’t you coming in?” Shi Lei’s voice came from behind. Gu Jinghang gritted his teeth. He turned around and dragged Shi Lei to another room on one side.
“Why are you acting like a Mr. Nice Guy? Who told you to open the door for her?”
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulder with innocence. “A young girl like her came over, saying she’s looking for you. There was no place for her to rest, so I had to let her into your room. I have to say: one is pretty, and one is virtuous. You lad are quite lucky. If we were still living in the ancient era, you probably could have two wives!”
Gu Jinghang flexed his fist. “You better stop making trouble for me. Return my key!”
Shi Lei stared at him. “I put it in my shirt pocket, and the shirt is in my office right now.”
Gu Jinghang could not do anything and neither did he dare to go back. Hence, he could only sit around at Shi Lei’s place. What a way to suffer for nothing!
Just when Gu Jinghang was out of his wits, he heard a knock. Wen Huihui stood before him like a ghost haunting him wherever he went.
“Team Leader Gu, it’s raining heavily now, and the last bus is gone…”
Gu Jinghang looked at her quietly.
Wen Huihui continued, “Can I stay here for the night?”
Gu Jinghang pointed outside. “There’s a guest house operated by the inst.i.tute just across the road. It’s free. You can stay there tonight.”
Shi Lei muttered behind him, “You lad just don’t have any compa.s.sion. Sister, tonight you’ll…”
“You shut up!” Gu Jinghang growled at Shi Lei in a low voice.
Softly, Wen Huihui urged, “Okay, okay. I’ll stay in the guest house. Team Leader Shi, don’t… don’t argue with Team Leader Gu because of me. I’ll go to the guest house now.”
As soon as she finished, she turned around. Shi Lei could not stand by and watch. So he pa.s.sed her an umbrella. “Sister, take this umbrella. Don’t get wet!”
Wen Huihui looked pitiful. “Thank you, Team Leader Shi.”
With a bang, the door was slammed shut, and the room was dark.
Shi Lei shook his head. “Look at her. She cleans your house, washes your clothes, and you don’t appreciate any of it and chase her away. You’re really heartless!”
Gu Jinghang darkened his expression. “Just shut up! It was you who got me into this mess!”
Shi Lei clicked his tongue. “I’m going to say something that might seem rude to you. Don’t get angry with me. But you might not even get into the Song family. Besides, your parents might not favor a pampered girl like Song Ran. A wife is not determined by her looks but by her virtues. You got it?”
