Chapter 59: A Storm Was Coming

Gu Jinghang glared at him and said with a firm tone, “I don’t have a big heart. It only has enough room for Song Ran.”

Shi Lei spread out his arms and said, “You are looking for trouble on your own. Whatever, I’m not going to nag at you about it.”

The next morning, just as Gu Jinghang walked out from Chief Liang’s office, he saw his uninvited guest.

He wanted to pretend like he did not see her and just walk around her, but Wen Huihui stopped right before him.

“Team Leader Gu, I’ve heard from Team Leader Shi that you would be busy today. I’m sure you would be tired. I was planning to go to the kitchen and prepare some food for you…

Gu Jinghang was so mad that he could not keep a straight face. Shi Lei is such a troublemaker who cannot keep his mouth shut.

“I don’t have any laundry that needs to be done, my room is tidy enough, and I like the meals in the cafeteria. Don’t seek me out in private in the future. I don’t want Ran to misunderstand.”

Right after he finished his sentence, he walked off coldly. However, Wen Huihui grabbed his wrist. Gu Jinghang lifted his hand and quickly pushed Wen Huihui away.

Wen Huihui lost her balance and almost stumbled onto the ground. Fortunately, Shi Lei arrived in time to catch her before she fell.

Wen Huihui looked at Gu Jinghang with teary eyes and she said, “Team Leader Gu, I’m not hoping for anything from you. Why must you be so mean to me?”

Gu Jinghang looked at her from head to toe and said coldly, “If you insist on being involved in my affairs, then I’m sorry. I don’t think I can put up a good front if you keep insisting on doing so.”

Gu Jinghang turned and left immediately, leaving Wen Huihui to look at his unwelcoming back.

Wen Huihui started crying uncontrollably. Shi Lei could not bear to watch her like this, but he could only comfort her and say, “Don’t cry anymore. That bastard isn’t worth your time and effort.”

Shi Lei brought Wen Huihui over to stand underneath the shade. Wen Huihui continued sobbing. She raised her head to look at Shi Lei pitifully and said, “I’m sorry for being such a laughing stock, Team Leader Shi.”

Shi Lei touched his head and replied, “It’s alright. I won’t laugh at you.”

Wen Huihui used her sleeves to wipe her tears. She had a devastated look on her face as she said, “Team Leader Shi, Song Ran and I actually fell for Team Leader Gu at the same time.”

This made Shi Lei drop his jaw slightly as he was surprised and he said, “Oh? Is that so?”

Wen Huihui pouted her lips and acted like she had been wronged before saying, “Yup, but Song Ran is so pretty and her family background is so good, I know I could never compare, so I’ve always kept my feelings to myself.”

Shi Lei could not stop sighing as he said, “Looks don’t matter when it comes to choosing a wife. If you ask me, I would think that a girl like you is more suitable for marriage. Song Ran is too bold. No one in the research institute thinks that she is a good match for Team Leader Gu.”

Wen Huihui sobbed even louder as she said, “But Team Leader Gu only has eyes for Song Ran and he likes her that way. He doesn’t even look at me. So what if I’m domesticated?”

Shi Lei felt slightly uncomfortable watching the girl cry, so he tried to think of ways to comfort her. It was as though he suddenly remembered something as he said excitedly, “I have found a way for you.”

Wen Huihui’s eyes lit up in an instant and she asked, “Team Leader Shi, what should I do?”

“You should try to get the chance to meet his parents. They live in the countryside, so they should be very fond of you. Furthermore, Gu Jinghang is a filial child who listens to his parents most of the time.”

Wen Huihui was hopeful again.

She hid her excitement and acted like she was uneasy and unconfident as she said, “Thank you Team Leader Shi. I’ll leave everything up to God. I won’t force anything.”
