Stop There, Daddy

“What did you just say?”

He Siming asked in a deep, cold voice, looking at Wen Shuyue with a frown, since he couldn’t hear her clearly.

Wen Shuyue rolled her eyes and raised her voice, “I said, tell me what it is so that I can decide whether I will spare some time for it.”

“Forget it if you really don’t have time. I don’t want to bother you.” Apparently, He Siming lost his patience, so he left with Guan Yue before Wen responded.

When He receded resolutely, Wen suddenly felt a bit frustrated by this bossy man who didn’t even have patience to answer her question.

Wen Shuyue was getting angrier since she felt her mood became easily influenced by others.

She shook her head hard in order to calm herself down and remind herself that the only purpose of her return was to ruin Lu Junhan and take back all that belonged to her.

“Miss Wen, your bestie is here for you.”

Wen Shuyue regained her composure and wondered why Lin Lin came to see her and whether Lin Lin would arrange another blind date for her.

The phrase blind date always gave Wen Shuyue a headache, which terrified her badly since all the men introduced by Lin were not even normal.

“Shuyue, what on earth did you say to Mr. Zhang? Why did he get so mad and complain about you?”

Before Wen Shuyue entered the restroom, she could hear Lin Lin twittering.

Wen Shuyue subconsciously rubbed her temple and walked inside reluctantly before she said resignedly, “Excuse me? You’re blaming me? For those men?”

“What’s bad about them? Mr. Zhang is quite a nice guy. At least, he doesn’t mind that you have a son.” Tilting her head, Lin Lin looked at Wen Shuyue in an unusually serious way.

Wen Shuyue smelt trouble whenever she saw that look on Lin Lin’s face.

Wen Shuyue stepped back subconsciously and looked at Lin Lin alertly. “Come clean with me. What are you up to?”

“Well…”

The moment Lin Lin’s mind was read, Lin Lin turned shy, with her fair cheeks flushed slightly, and mumbled, “I saw He Siming just now. I guess he often comes to see you, huh?”

The mention of his name made Wen Shuyue uncomfortable and even somewhat guilty.

Subconsciously, she evaded Lin Lin’s eyes and answered perfunctorily, “Yes, he comes to inspect our work since we’ve cooperated with his company.”

“That’s wonderful! If he comes here next time, tell me. Okay? I want to create a romantic encounter with him,” Lin Lin said shyly, rubbing her hands, like a little girl meeting her first love.

Wen Shuyue looked a bit unhappy with a scene of He Siming and Lin Lin being together going in her mind.

It was such an eyesore that Wen Shuyue even dreaded to imagine it. But she faked a smile as she said, “All we talk about is work. The whole romantic encounter thing, does it even work in the company?”

“It does. All you need to do is to tell me when he will come and leave the rest to me.” Lin Lin got anxious as she spoke.

Among all those male friends of Lin Lin, He Siming was the only one that she treated seriously. She would never ever give up pursuing him even though he was a heartthrob.

Wen Shuyue made no response with her mind engaged with the thing between Lin Lin and He Siming.

In an instant, Lin Lin’s face turned sullen because of Wen Shuyue’s indifferent attitude. Lin Lin even sounded colder, “Shuyue, be honest with me. Do you have feelings for He Siming?”

“Uh?” Lin Lin’s words gave Wen Shuyue a start so that Wen Shuyue subconsciously turned round to look at Lin Lin.

The two of them stared at each other with a touch of complication in their eyes.

Probably being guilty, Wen Shuyue evaded her eyes and said with a faked smile, “That’s not true. He’s just my business partner. We’re related only by work, and nothing…”

Wen Shuyue suddenly paused here, feeling something missing in her empty heart.

“Oh, great! Since you don’t have feelings for him, I can rest assured. Shuyue, you’re my best friend. You’ve got to help me till I become his girlfriend.” Lin Lin was beyond happy because they didn’t fall for the same man, which worried Lin Lin most.

What Wen Shuyue said was such a load off Lin Lin’s mind.

On the contrary, Wen Shuyue felt increasingly depressed because she had to stop entertaining any illusions about He Siming on whom Lin Lin had a crush.

Lin Lin kept whispering about He Siming sweetly as if he were her boyfriend, while Wen Shuyue had to echo her though Wen Shuyue didn’t feel well.

Driven physically tired by work and mentally tired by Lin Lin’s words, Wen Shuyue didn’t even spend as much time talking to her son as before when she got home.

“Mommy, Mr. Handsome came here just now. Why weren’t you with him?” Wen Baobao hastily held his mother’s fingers and looked at her confusedly with his head tilted.

Wen Shuyue felt surprised and blurted out, “He Siming came here just now?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
