Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Xia Wan’an (1)_1

"Huh?" Zhang Te’s assistant was taken aback by the question, "Who?"

"When did she join the Han Family company?"

Zhang Te’s assistant still hadn’t caught on: "President Han, who are you talking about?"

Han Jingnian remained silent for a moment: "Xia Wan’an."

Upon hearing this name, it was actually Zhang Te’s assistant that was stunned: "You mean your wife? Your wife joined the company last year, as per the wish of the eldest lady, who informed the old madam. The old madam gave her approval and then your wife joined the Han Family Company... it’s been almost a year, hasn’t it? Your wife works in the design department... when the eldest lady mentioned this, you were there... President Han... Don’t you remember?"

...

Xia Wan’an walked out of the office building and was about to hail a cab when she remembered that she had left her cell phone in Han Jingnian’s office.

Realising it’s saturday today, and the office is not crowded, and all of them must be in a meeting, she took the elevator back to retrieve it.

Just as she reached the top floor, she found a group of people coming out of the conference room...

Did the meeting end so soon?

Xia Wan’an hurriedly pressed the elevator button, returning to the first floor. She chose to take the elevator to the top floor again only after everyone had left.

The door to Han Jingnian’s office was not closed. She gently pushed it and entered.

The room was empty, with no one inside. Assuming that Han Jingnian was not there, she headed towards the lounge.

However, when she was about to reach the lounge door, she heard his voice coming from inside, "When did she join the Han Family company?"

Who was he referring to? Who joined the Han Family company, making him so concerned?

Xia Wan’an didn’t mean to eavesdrop. It was purely a chance encounter. Then she heard Zhang Te’s assistant voice the same confusion she had. Immediately after, she heard Han Jingnian’s voice say her name, "Xia Wan’an."

Xia Wan’an... These three familiar words left her rooted in spot, as if she was struck by a paralysis spell.

In her memory, this was the first time he explicitly called her by name, wasn’t it?

Two years into their marriage, she did not interact with him much. Their meetups became frequent only in recent times, but that was purely coincidental... Yet in all this time, he did not once call her by her name.

She used to fantasize that his voice sounded so pleasant, when he called her by her name, it would be particularly pleasant... It wasn’t until now that she realized, it may not always be pleasantly sounded, it could also be brutal.

When she joined the Han Family company, it was the elder sister-in-law and grandmother who proposed it in front of him. He was sitting beside them, absorbed in paperwork. When the grandmother asked him, he nodded lightly. She always thought he knew... But now it seems that he never paid her any attention... what was she in his eyes – insignificant, inconsequential, dispensable? How could he disregard her, ignore his own legal wife, to such an extreme extent?

Unable to bear hearing any more, Xia Wan’an didn’t dare to listen to the succeeding conversation between him and Zhang Te’s assistant, nor did she have the courage to go in and get her phone. Instead, she chose to leave quietly.

...

In the lounge, Han Jingnian, who was unaware that Xia Wan’an had come by, was struck dumb by the words of Zhang Te’s assistant.

Her joining the Han Family company was decided by elder sister-in-law and grandmother in his presence? He had no recollection of it...

Just as he had been completely unaware of her hospitalization due to injury... Had he overlooked her so much over the past two years?

Han Jingnian lowered his eyes for a moment. After a while, he said, "I met her last night."

"Zhang Cheng, do you know? Had it not been for her last night, I would probably be dead by now."
