Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Damn it! Big surprise! (2) _1

"If only I’d brought some dumplings with me..." Zhang Te, in a moment of excitement, couldn’t help but voice his regret.

Han Jingnian quickly locked his screen and looked up at Zhang Te.

Realizing he’d spoken out of turn, Zhang Te quickly apologized with a smile, gingerly asking, "I mean, I skipped breakfast and am craving some dumplings, would you like some, Mr. Han?"

Han Jingnian placed his phone under some files and replied coldly, "No need."

"Alright then, Mr. Han. I’ll start the work report for you..."

...

The icy aura around Han Jingnian lasted till afternoon, only then did the tension in the executive office somewhat eased.

He, who didn’t do much work in the morning, worked overtime till 9:30 p.m. to finish the day’s tasks.

As he got into the car, seeing Zhang Te who had been staying with him these past few days, asked out of habit, "Are we heading home, Mr. Han?"

Han Jingnian didn’t respond, but his brows and eyes turned cold.

Zhang Te couldn’t figure out his intentions, but seeing that he didn’t refuse, he drove towards home.

Just as Zhang Te gripped the steering wheel and prepared to turn into the underground parking lot, Han Jingnian, sitting in the back seat, suddenly spoke up, "Let’s go to the Four Seasons Hotel."

...

He didn’t come home tonight...

He didn’t come home again tonight...

He still didn’t come home tonight...

After three consecutive days when Han Jingnian didn’t return, Xia Wan’an gradually grew accustomed to living alone in their 3000 square feet house.

She guessed that he came home these past few days to thank her for saving his cousin by applying medicine to her wounds.

Now that the wounds on her back had almost healed completely, he no longer came home...

Thankfully she hadn’t dared to hope for much then, so she wasn’t too upset or disappointed now.

Soon, a new month began.

During this time, Han Jingnian never came home, and Xia Wan’an never bumped into him outside either.

The first day of the new month was Friday, the last day of the workweek. When Xia Wan’an arrived at the company and logged into the office communicator on her computer, she received a message from Ai Jiang.

Ai Jiang: "Wan’an, remember I told you I was changing jobs last month? Well, my new job is finally settled! I finished my hiring paperwork today. It’s my first official day at work!"

Xia Wan’an: "Really? Really? Congratulations then!"

Ai Jiang: "Hehe... Aren’t you curious where I’m working, Wan’an?"

Xia Wan’an: "Beg me, and maybe I’ll show some curiosity."

Ai Jiang: "Huh? Put away your cold humor. Don’t be shocked when I tell you, I’m working at Han Family Corporation. We’re colleagues now!"

Xia Wan’an sent a happy emoji: "Really? Which department are you in? I’ll come to have lunch with you!"

Ai Jiang: "Really, why would I lie to you? I’m in the Executive Office. It’s so strict here though. Despite my work experience, they still put me on a three-month probation."

Executive Office... Xia Wan’an paused, wasn’t that where Han Jingnian worked?

Ai Jiang: "Wan’an, you wouldn’t believe it. I didn’t think I would actually get the job. When they called me last week, I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was dreaming!"
