PA Wen maintained his modest smile and remained silent.
Though he was smiling on the inside, he was cursing in his heart.
“Have you contacted the college as I instructed?”
Such a frantic call but not work-related at all, great.
“I have. Our company will provide all the LCD displays in the auditorium of R University. The construction has already begun and it should be completed by tomorrow or the day after,” PA Wen reported. He continued after a short pause, “Professor Zhou called. He wishes to see you when you are available and requests that you come alone.”
Professor Zhou?
That was Ye Yuwei’s professor. What was with the invitation out of the blue?
“I see,” Gu Juexi said. He looked down at PA Wen’s leg and blurted out, “That’s all, you can go back now.”
PA Wen rolled his eyes when Gu Juexi looked away.
Is it okay to curse you without involving parents, wives, and children?
Couldn’t you just ask me this over the phone?
Gu Juexi leaned back in his chair and glanced at PA Wen who turned to leave with his trademark smile.
Of course not!
His foot had just been crushed, so why should he let this man have fun with his fair devil?
No way!
After leaving the office, PA Wen called Xiao Yaojing but she didn’t pick up. He called Ye Yuwei and was told Xiao Yaojing had gone home.
“PA Wen, I know you are grateful to Gu Juexi, but Yaojing is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. I think you need to reevaluate the priority of love or gratitude,” Ye Yuwei advised over the phone. Even though she knew Xiao Yaojing would be more understanding now that she learned about PA Wen’s past, she would still feel betrayed and defeated when PA Wen put Gu Juexi before her.
PA Wen sat in stunned silence, his hands hovering near the car keys. He leaned back in the driver’s seat and saw the kissing bobbleheads on the dashboard. Xiao Yaojing had insisted on sticking them there.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll be mindful next time, thank you.”
He realized how inconsiderate his actions were.
PA Wen thought about it as he started his car and left the car park. He drove to a florist to buy a bouquet of fiery-red roses.
PA Wen arrived at Xiao Yaojing’s apartment lobby. Due to their approaching wedding, a large Double Happiness sticker was pasted on the main door of the building unit.
PA Wen parked his car. Bouquet in hand, he got out of the car and went upstairs.
A similar Double Happiness sticker was pasted on the door of Xiao Yaojing’s house as well as on the door of the unit opposite hers that he had bought. The entire floor was filled with the joy of the upcoming nuptials.
Since the wedding planning was being done by the parents of both families, Xiao Yaojing and PA Wen could put their feet up a little. Due to the cumbersome wedding matters, the wedding dress selection and testing were scheduled for tomorrow, and it was an ultimatum from the parents to get it done.
As for their wedding photos, Wen Tao accepted Xiao Yaojing’s request to not hire a professional photographer, instead getting their photos taken candidly during their honeymoon.
Although it contradicted their parents’ opinion, Wen Tao agreed to his wife’s request under pressure.
Wen Tao pressed the doorbell and waited.
His calf was still hurting but he was ready to be kicked again.
Mrs. Xiao opened the door. Wen Tao asked politely, “Auntie, is Jingjing home?”
“She is, she went into her room as soon as she came back,” Mrs. Xiao said as she let Wen Tao in. She was delighted to see the bouquet of roses in his hands.
It was evident the way this young man treated her daughter.
Wen Tao walked towards Xiao Yaojing’s door with the bouquet in his hand. He knocked lightly on the door before turning the knob to enter.
“Mom, I’m not hungry, I don’t want to eat.” She was still angry.
