Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Something More Painful Than Heartache is False Joy (1)_1

Having said all that she wanted to say, Xia Wan’an looked at Tang Jia’s face, which was alternating between green and white because of anger, with satisfaction. Then she left in high spirits.

In the evening when she got off work, Xia Wan’an hesitated for a long time before calling a taxi, and finally decided to go to the "Garden Villa".

Before she was discharged from the hospital, she could visit him in his ward, take care of him... Now that she had been discharged, she seemed to have no excuse to go see him.

She just didn’t know if he had eaten on time today, if he had followed the doctor’s orders, if he had managed to keep a poker face without scaring the nurses to tears again...

She could actually feel his change, like that time he appeared at the Beijing Hotel; or at the hospital, his apology to her and the hands that hurt themselves... She wasn’t sure what his change represented. Was it the kind of heart-throbbing feeling she had been dreaming of for eight years, or was it just a simple apology?

Thinking of this, Xia Wan’an lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding the dimness in her eyes.

All these years, she has always been like this, no matter how much he hurts her, just a glance, a smile, a tiny gesture or change from him could make her forget the harsh vows she had once made.

It was precisely because he had made her sad over and over again that she didn’t even dare to hope anymore, because a false joy could cause more pain than a heartache.

It was like when she threatened Tang Jia, saying she wanted to be the director... But she didn’t dare to bother him, and instead went to Han Zhijin.

...

Hospital.

Han Jingnian, who was currently dealing with emergency files that had piled up for several days, realised that it was already dark outside. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Where is she?"

Zhang Te, his assistant, heard these words, stopped what he was doing, and replied, "Your wife? She returned to her villa."

Han Jingnian’s hand, which was holding a pen and signing on the file, trembled, drawing a long line across the paper.

She... After being discharged from the hospital, had stopped coming to see him...

"President Han, is something wrong?"

Han Jingnian came back to his senses, and said indifferently, "Nothing," and then he continued to review the files.

An hour later, his work was finally done for the time being.

After massaging his eyes, which were sore from reading for a long time, Han Jingnian saw that his assistant Zhang Te was still holding a stack of files, showing no sign of leaving. He couldn’t help but look at him in confusion.

Feeling his gaze, Zhang Te hesitated for a moment before saying, "President Han, your wife had some conflict with her colleagues at the company today."

The temperature in Han Jingnian’s eyes dropped instantly.

Even though he didn’t say a word, Zhang Te knew that he was very interested in this matter: "I’m not sure about the details, but it seems to be about the position of the director of the design department. After Gu Yuzhi resigned, the position of the director has been vacant for almost a week. This matter should be resolved soon...."

After a pause, Zhang Te added, "The news I got by chance is that your wife seems very interested in the director’s position. She even told her colleague that she will definitely get the job."

Han Jingnian, who thought something major had happened, relaxed

He leaned back casually on the head of the bed, massaging his temples, and moved his lips.

But before he could say "If she likes it, let her have it," Zhang Te, who had been hesitating for a while, spoke again: "Probably due to her threat this afternoon... your wife sought Young Master Zhijin’s help in arranging this."
