Chapter 12 - I Quit!

He Yueyu glowered at Jin Moli for her arrogance. “So you’re being difficult on purpose! I guess the broken photocopier is also your trick, isn’t it?”

“Miss He, don’t wag your tongue too freely. Why should I do that?”

“Huh! Every open secret involves a plot, as for the reason…” He Yueyu also sneered, “My existence is an obstruction to your promising future. You are jealous of me.”

If her intuition was right, she was sure that this woman loved Duan Weiqi. She would never forget her possessive look.

Jin Moli turned displeased and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t mind warning you, as long as you work here for one day, I have the right to order you to do anything. If you feel incompetent, you can hand in your resignation now!”

Slam!

He Yueyu was so angry that she pushed all the documents before her to the ground. “I won’t do it. Drive me out of here again if you can!”

“You…”

“What the hell is going on?” Duan Weiqi saw his office was in chaos as soon as he stepped out of the elevator. Numerous sheets of paper were scattered everywhere, and some even flew to his feet.

“Mr. Duan, you are back?” Seeing him, Jin Moli hurried forward, “Miss He seemed to have an extreme dissatisfaction with me, I just…”

“Enough!” He Yueyu roared exasperatedly.

She had an outburst of emotion partly because her stomach was sore to death due to bad mood. And also because she suddenly found that she was on the edge of cry when she saw Duan Weiqi.

She was always the little princess pampered by her three handsome brothers, but since she knew Duan Weiqi, she was no longer a superior princess but a maid who should do everything without any complaint. Though this psychological gap provoked her unreasonable anger inside, she had to admit she missed Duan Weiqi badly these days.

So when she saw Jin Moli standing lovably side by side with Duan Weiqi, her uncomfortable feeling peaked.

She just grabbed documents at hand and strode to them with grumble.

“I just can’t do this damn job. In fact, I also hate working in this damn place. I don’t need you to fire me, because I have decided to fire you first!”

Thud!

She slammed the documents on Duan Weiqi’s chest. “I quit. Are you satisfied now?”

Finishing these words in one breath, she turned to leave, but a sudden dizziness darkened her eyes. The next second, she fell softly towards the floor.

“Yueyu…”

At the moment she was about to fall, Duan Weiqi hurriedly caught her with his arms, who just endured the hardships of a long journey and was still confused about this situation.

“Yueyu, what’s wrong?” Duan Weiqi could feel the tension in his heart when he saw her fall. Gosh! It was only a few days; how could she look so pale and exhausted? What had happened these days?

Just then, the door of elevator opened again. Li Meiyu came out with a box of pills. An expression of awe appeared on her face when she saw Duan Weiqi, “Ah… Mr. Duan…”

But when she saw He Yueyu was in Duan Weiqi’s arms, she couldn’t help crying, “Oh my God, how come Yueyu passed out?”

Duan Weiqi turned and stared at Jin Moli, “Why are you still standing there? Call an ambulance at once…”

“Uh…”

“No need to call an ambulance. That’s over exaggerated. She’s just in menstrual period…”

“What? Menstrual period?” Duan Weiqi frowned when he heard these two words.

“Yes,” Li Meiyu nodded vigorously, “Of course, Mr. Duan, you have no idea; we girls may feel very painful every time we have our period, especially for the first few days. Sometimes we can just weep with pain. Yueyu has been overworked these days. Maybe this is why she passed out. Take her to rest for a while and she will be fine. ”

“Overworked?” Duan Weiqi frowned again, his eyes sharply looked back and forth between Li Meiyu and Jin Moli, “Is there any physical work in our company that she needs to do?”

“No physical work, but …”

Li Meiyu glanced at Jin Moli with a dread. “The past few days when you were not here, Yueyu had a lot of work to do every day. Even some were not her duty; she had to do them because someone ordered her to. Sometimes she was even too busy to eat, so I guess she might be… uh…”

Seeing Jin Moli’s vengeful face, Li Meiyu was afraid to continue.

Duan Weiqi carried He Yueyu in his arms and glared at Jin Moli coldly. He strode towards the lounge in his office without leaving a word.

When Yueyu opened her eyes, a young and handsome face was in her sight. Her cold little hands were held in his warm palms, and the temperature brought her comfortable and secure.

“Are you awake?” Duan Weiqi’s magnetic voice came to her ears, and his face was full of worries about her.

Although he only had been abroad for five days, as long as he had free time, her delicious and lovely face would appear in his mind.

During these days, he deeply felt that she was an attractive and lovely girl, who always tugged his heartstrings.

He couldn’t figure out what kind of feeling he had for her. Anyhow, he wanted to see her every day, feel her presence, hear her voice, and see her smile…

When she fainted before him, for the first time he knew what it felt like with pity and pain in his heart.

He knew he cared about her, and he cared very, very much!

Looking at his deep eyes, Yueyu found that she wanted all the grievances out to him.

After a short rest, the pain in her lower abdomen was not as strong as it was in the morning. But once she thought about those difficulty days under the oppression of Jin Moli, she could feel nothing but fury and grievance.

She turned her face away and pulled her little hand out of his palm immediately. “Do you really care whether I can wake up or not?”

She didn’t know why she only wanted to act willfully in front of him, and she just wanted to show him the most unreasonable side of her.

Duan Weiqi shook his head indulgently and grinned, “Silly girl, since Secretary Jin has bossed you around despitefully, why didn’t you call me?”

“Why should I call you?” She looked fierce, “And… I don’t want to be a woman who backbite others.” Tattling on others was not her style.

“So, you’re really a stupid girl!” He pinched her tender little face with pampering affection, “But promise me now, no matter what happens in the future that makes you unpleasant, you must tell me first. Ok?”

She blinked, looking at his handsome face. Her heartbeat was out of control just because of his indulgent smile.

Maybe she had fallen in love with him at first sight, which seemed to be predestined. But what about him? What was her role in his life?

Too many thoughts messed her head, but she was still annoyed when she thought of Jin Moli.

“Does Secretary Jin have some secret power? Why do some people in the company seem to be afraid of her?” She finally asked the question in her heart.

Duan Weiqi raised his eyebrow, “Seriously? Why didn’t I find it?”

He took a pillow and put it behind her so that she could rest comfortably against the bedside. Then he held her cold hands tenderly.

“Well, I bet you must rarely check the public sentiment in the company. Some fear Secretary Jin and others look respectfully when they are talking to her. Is it because she is working in president’s office so she deserves great respect? ”

He smiled deeply, “The employees in the president’s office are also employees of the company. I think this may have something to do with Jin Moli’s father. He is one of the shareholders of the bank.”

“Eh? One of the shareholders?”

“Yeah, Jin Dashan, the head of the Finance Department is the father of Secretary Jin, didn’t you know it before?”

“No wonder she…”
