The next day, Xia Wan was woken up by the alarm clock, and after she dispiritedly washed up, she felt that today, the old house was especially quiet.

After waiting in the living room for a while, Xia Wan did not appear. Xia Wan felt a pain in her eyes and thought that Tang Shaofeng had gone to the company first.

After rushing to the company by himself, Tang Shaofeng did not do as Xia Wan had expected, and calmly sat on his seat.

She didn't know where the other party had gone to and when he had left, but why didn't he even greet her? At the very least, they could be considered husband and wife …

During lunch time, Xia Wan had heard from her colleagues that Tang Shaofeng had left the country and would only be back at noon tomorrow.

During this lunchtime, Xia Wan and Lu Li coincidentally met again. It was unknown if it was a coincidence or it was the other party's deliberate wait.

Seeing that Xia Wan liked to drink simmer soup yesterday, Lu Li prepared it for Xia Wan once again.

It was not good to reject Lu Li's good intentions. After all, queuing up to stew the broth had been disgraceful.

During the meal, Xia Wan was at a loss. This was because Lu Li would be particularly considerate in giving her food and soup, as if the two of them were in a passionate relationship.

Tang Shaofeng's harsh words suddenly came back to his ears: All of you were whispering each other in the cafeteria, have you all forgotten that you're married?

Frowning, Xia Wan lost all appetite to eat. Lu Li's passionate eyes and care for her made her feel that she was more and more similar to the kind of woman that Tang Shaofeng had described.

She knew that she should distance herself from Lu Li, but she didn't want to reveal that she was Tang Shaofeng's wife.

Thus, Xia Wan quickly finished her meal and left.

Seeing Xia Wan flee, Lu Li laughed bitterly as he gazed in the direction Xia Wan left in, and sighed helplessly: "Am I too anxious?"

Lu Li retracted his gaze and continued to leisurely eat, when suddenly, another person appeared in front of him.

Raising his head, he saw that the other party was Li Na. Lu Li officially nodded and did not interact much with him.

"Director Lu, you seem to be very concerned about Xia Wan." Li Na had only investigated the situation to see if it was real, but she did not expect her tone to become sour.

Perhaps it was because, among the young talents in the company, Lu Li was the one who had the best conditions, but he also looked at Xia Wan in a different light, which made Li Na furious.

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Li Na." Lu Li's smile was indifferent, and carried a deep sense of distance. Unlike when he was with Xia Wan, his smile was just a perfunctory one.

Hearing that, Li Na frowned in displeasure, a trace of resentment flashed past her eyes, but then recovered. "Sigh, I'm just afraid that Director Lu might be unaware of some things and be confused by some people's pure exterior."

Lu Li put down his chopsticks, maintaining a polite yet distant smile on his face, "Li Na, I don't like to guess the deep meaning of other people's words, and even more so don't want to be disturbed while resting."

Li Na's face became even uglier, she never thought that Lu Li would be so polite to her, yet so cold to her, in what way could she not be comparable to Xia Wan?

Biting his lips, Li Na no longer made it sound mysterious and asked: "You should have heard of the rumors in the company, right? It has to do with Xia Wan and the CEO. "

"Li Na, rumors are ultimately rumors. Lu Li seemed to be uninterested in Li Na's topic, as he wiped his mouth and prepared to get up.

Seeing that Lu Li was about to leave, Li Na emphasized her tone and warned, "If you have any thoughts of chasing after Xia Wan, it would be best for you to clarify on one thing!"

Turning around, Lu Li laughed and looked at Li Na: "Li Na, if I want to pursue Xia Wan, then I should be consulting her about the taboo, on what basis do you think I should pass your test?"

Seeing that Lu Li was unmoved, Li Na laughed coldly: "Lu Li, I have always known of your noble character, with your abilities, it is indeed a waste for you to be the one in charge of Personnel Department. But no matter how much of a genius you are, no matter how considerate you are, you cannot compare to the temptation of President Tang to women.

Li Na suddenly compared Tang Shaofeng with Lu Li, obviously trying to belittle him. However, Lu Li did not get angry, he only smiled, and asked with cold eyes: "I'm surprised, why should I compare myself to President Tang? Li Na, is your Public Relations Department so free that they can only discuss public opinion? "I'm sorry, I'm very busy. Please excuse me."

Lu Li strode forward as he stepped on his high heels and quickly chased after them.

Even when hearing Li Na's chase, Lu Li did not turn his head, which made him angry out of embarrassment.

"Lu Li! Xia Wan likes the President Tang, do you think you will still have a chance?! "

Lu Li paused, and slowly turned around, with mockery in his eyes: "Looks like I'm right, spreading rumors all depends on one mouth, is your Public Relations department's duty to research and study all this?"

Seeing that Lu Li did not believe him, Li Na scoffed with her eyes, and said unhurriedly: "On the day Xia Wan was drenched in water in the washroom, I remember you were there too right? After that, President Tang ordered me to buy a set of female attire for Xia Wan, it should be enough to tell that the relationship between President Tang and Xia Wan is not ordinary, right?"

Lu Li disapproved, and only calmly replied: "Xia Wan works in the same space as President Tang, I believe that no matter how strict our superior is, they would not treat this situation as nothing."

As if he had already predicted that Lu Li would come to this conclusion, Li Na smiled brilliantly, and added: "Oh, really? "Then guess what I saw when I put the clothes in?"

Lu Li coldly rejected, "I'm not interested to know."

"I saw President Tang wiping Xia Wan's hair personally. Director Lu, when have you ever seen President Tang protecting his female subordinates like this?"

Hearing this, Lu Li's expression subtly changed, as a hint of awkwardness flashed past his eyes.

Even though it only changed for a second, but as the Public Relations department's director, Li Na was the best at observing words and expressions, and already revealed a smile of success.

"Director Lu, you and I are both part of the company's management staff, so we should know that President Tang is already married. Although we did not make any big news about this matter, there were still small rumors spreading around, and President Tang also responded positively to the company's internal affairs."

Following Li Na's unhurried narration, Lu Li's face grew colder and colder.

Seeing that, Li Na laughed even more complacently, "That's why, we are colleagues, so I was kind enough to give you a reminder. You always have a sense of propriety, know how to protect your own safety, never flirting with the employees of the company, do not let your reputation be tarnished by women with low morals, or, anger the President Tang. "

Finished speaking, Li Na left gracefully, her light footsteps revealed her happy mood.

Only after standing in place for a long time did Lu Li leave the hallway with a heavy heart.

Because Tang Shaofeng was on a business trip, Li Na would naturally take the opportunity to show off.

Thus, Xia Wan, who was originally very idle, now had a lot of work to do.

After working until 8 PM, she was exhausted. What was even more sad was that her period of rest was up.

Once a woman had a period of rest, she would feel like she was facing a great enemy. Similarly, Xia Wan, who was even more exhausted after getting hollowed out of her body, packed her bag and quickly drove home.

When they reached home, Xia Wan, who was very hungry, found only a few pieces of cold bread and a bottle of milk in the fridge.

There was no helping it, she thought, and walked over to the microwave in the kitchen.

Suddenly, the brightly lit villa became pitch black. There was actually no electricity in the house.

"Oh my god, do you have to be so unlucky!" Xia Wan couldn't help but grumble, and then, while carrying the cold bread, she groped her way to the sofa.

Sitting on the sofa, Xia Wan borrowed the weak light of her phone and stuffed the hard and dry bread piece into her mouth.

Wrapped in endless emptiness and darkness, Xia Wan's nose twitched as she unconsciously hugged her body.

At about ten o'clock, when she had eaten unheated food, the taboo of the physiological period began to stir, and a twitching pain in her lower abdomen made her curl up on the sofa, shivering.

Cold sweat poured out, Xia Wan's hand was tightly holding onto her lower abdomen, but her mouth had a bitter smile: I'm just afraid that I'll pass out from the pain in this house, no one will know about it.

The tiredness from work coupled with the torturous physical pain made Xia Wan feel very tired. Her eyelids started to twitch and her consciousness started to blur.

In the dream, she was gently lifted up. After a few minutes of shaking, she was placed under the hot blanket.

Xia Wan was wondering if she had hallucinated from the pain, but someone else suddenly appeared beside her and a warm palm also appeared on her stomach.

Tears trickled down the corners of his eyes as Xia Wan silently asked: "Tang Shaofeng, are you back yet?"

Subconsciously, Xia Wan grabbed onto the other party's arm, not wanting her to leave.

She was very cold, very tired, her stomach hurt, her family power was cut off, she was pushed out by her colleagues, no one cared about her, she prayed for Tang Shaofeng not to return to that cold and heartless look.

Sensing that the other party's body had become stiff after being hugged by her, Xia Wan tried her best to force up her eyelids, wanting to apologize to Tang Shaofeng and tell him that she had said something hurtful to her.

Unfortunately, she was too sleepy and her eyelids were too heavy for her to wake up.

Even if it's just a dream, let me lean on it for a moment.

, who was lying beside Xia Wan, let out a sigh. "Xia Wan, what should I do with you …"

As he quietly concentrated on Xia Wan's sleeping visage, Tang Shaofeng's palm never left Xia Wan's lower abdomen, even though his muscles were sore, his fingers had become numb.

The clock on the wall indicated that it was five thirty. With eyes filled with yearning, Tang Shaofeng lifted the blanket and left the bed.

He went to the electric lock to check the circuit, and discovered that there was no power cut at home, it was just a skipping, and after Tang Shaofeng returned, he quickly went to the supermarket, buying a lot of ingredients to fill the refrigerator.

After doing all of this, at six o'clock sharp, Tang Shaofeng rushed towards the airport. His tightly knitted eyebrows showed that he was still worried about the people who were still sleeping soundly.

Actually, there was no need for him to come back yesterday. He had yet to settle his matters abroad.

But for some reason, even if he was worried that Xia Wan would leave him alone, he might not be able to handle it.

After returning home, it was pitch black, only the phone on the sofa was lit, while Xia Wan's face was pale and curled into a ball.

At that moment, he suddenly no longer wanted to engage in a cold war with Xia Wan, nor did he want to prove or pry any further. He only knew that Xia Wan wouldn't be able to take good care of himself without him. Didn't he promise to treat her well?

Tang Shaofeng decided to chat with Xia Wan properly after he got back from the plane. The two of them calmly exchanged thoughts and tried to understand each other's feelings, to show mutual respect.
