Lock the Door

A pleasingly plump secretary vs. a cold, abstinent boss.

This is a story where the seemingly dominant person in control of the entire situation ultimately gets pulled down from their pedestal...

Chapter 154 Insomnia

Chapter 154 Insomnia

After moving, Yu Huan invited his aunt and her family to dinner, and the moving ceremony was officially completed.

After finishing his meal and saying goodbye to everyone, Yu Huan returned to his newly rented house alone. He sat in the small and cozy living room, carefully looking at everything in front of him.

From today on, this place is completely her territory, and no one can push the door and enter without permission.

No one would scold her in a domineering manner anymore, and she could do whatever she wanted in this house.

She can eat takeout when she wants to, and not clean the house if she doesn't want to. She can also make new friends, bring friends home to play, eat hot pot, watch movies, and drink with friends at home.

These things that she had never dared to think about before, she has finally achieved now.

But in my heart, I wasn't that happy.

She leaned her head back on the sofa, tears rolling down her eyes one by one, unable to stop them. Finally, she had to raise her hands to cover her face and cry loudly in this free territory.

She cried because freedom was so easy to obtain, but she endured it for so many years.

She cried because she had carried the guilt for so many years, but the truth was so unbearable.

She cried for her parents, saying that they really didn't love their children at all. In this world, there are really parents who don't love their children.

By the end of her crying, she didn't know why she was crying. Her heart was aching so much that she felt like she could hardly breathe.

An impulse in her heart made her take out her phone from her bag and find the familiar note.

His fingers trembled above the dial key, but he couldn't press it.

She missed him so much, and wanted to tell him that she had done it. She had gotten rid of the family that made her unhappy. She had the ability to protect herself from getting hurt again. She could live completely for herself.

Can...

She took her fingers off the keys, closed her eyes, and tears fell on the screen, spreading on the answer button.

She didn't dare to call him, she couldn't bear his rejection again.

At the same time, she also blamed him, blaming him for being too rational, seeing everything so clearly, and not sinking at all.

He stood on the shore, watching her become obsessed with him and lose her mind for him. When she fell deeper and deeper and couldn't extricate herself, he pulled her out and told her that it was all over.

It was almost here, and she was not mentally prepared at all.

After blaming him, Yu Huan subconsciously made up for him.

He kept reminding her that it was her own fault that she was willing to sink into depravity and she couldn't blame him.

Can't blame him.

The low and negative mood was only temporary. After waking up, Yu Huan opened his eyes in the sunlight coming in from the window, and his mood suddenly improved.

I looked at the time and felt better after realizing I could still sleep for another half hour.

After joining the new company, Yu Huan no longer had to get up early to commute, and she also no longer had to go to He Xiaowei's house to help him prepare his clothes. Her morning time suddenly became more abundant.

After a nice nap, she went out to work feeling refreshed.

Day after day, in the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Yu Huan started working in the new company.

The atmosphere in the new company is much better than the previous one. Everyone is a new employee and is still relatively reserved, without any ulterior motives.

In addition, the company strictly prohibits unfair competition, and everyone keeps their mouths shut, so there will be no more rumors flying around.

Yu Huan also made several good friends in the company. In their spare time, they would make plans to go shopping and have dinner together.

Everything seemed so beautiful, and Yu Huan never cried as bitterly as she did on the first day of moving.

It was as if all the pain was healed and she could finally start her new life without any burden.

But beneath the beautiful illusion, there is always a place that is slowly festering.

She began to suffer from insomnia. Sometimes she couldn't fall asleep even when she couldn't open her eyes. She also had dreams every day. Those bizarre dreams gradually devoured her body and her health.

High-intensity work coupled with a tired body means that even if you cover up your disguise well, people will still see through it.

One day, Huang Yiran met Yu Huan who had just got off work in the community. Yu Huan also saw him and was about to greet him, but the smile on his face froze and he came closer to her.

"Why do you look so bad?"

Yu Huan touched her face and asked, "Is it very obvious?" She knew that her complexion had been very bad recently, and she had put on more powder in the morning to cover it up.

Huang Yiran pointed at the area under her eyes and said, "You have dark circles under your eyes, even powder can't cover them up."

After listening to this, Yu Huan took out a small mirror from her bag and looked at herself in the mirror.

It was indeed obvious that the makeup I applied in the morning had oxidized a little after a day, and its concealing ability was not as strong, so the blemishes on the face were exposed.

Huang Yiran's face was filled with worry. "Are you very tired from work? So tired that you can't sleep well?"

Yu Huan put away the mirror and said, "Well, I've been having some insomnia lately."

Huang Yiran pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Insomnia is usually caused by stress and anxiety. How about I take you to relax?"

"Relax?" Yu Huan hesitated for only two seconds before nodding in agreement.

She also felt that she really needed to relax. If she couldn't get a good night's sleep, her body really couldn't take it anymore.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Huan looked at the store in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly. "When you say relax, do you mean take me here to wash my feet?"

"Yes, let me tell you, it's really comfortable to get a foot massage when you're tired. Plus, they have a buffet that tastes really good, so we can skip dinner."

Yu Huan looked at the magnificently decorated store and swallowed his saliva. "Is it expensive?"

If it's too expensive, she would be reluctant to spend it. The massage shop downstairs in the community only charges 60 yuan per session, and they all massage feet, so it should be about the same.

"It's not expensive, don't worry, let's go." Huang Yiran pushed Yu Huan into the store.

Behind the two of them, a group of people were coming in from the door, one of them was Wang Siyu.

Wang Siyu looked at Yu Huan, who was being intimate with a man in front of her, and a trace of disgust flashed across her face.

Ever since Yu Huan left, everyone thought that someone from the administrative department might be able to take her place. Wang Siyu was even more active and tried her best to get it.

As a result, Meng Han actually hired a male secretary from outside.

This made Wang Siyu even angrier. He had no place to vent his anger, and he found Yu Huan an eyesore.

The next day, Meng Han entered the company in the morning. When he passed by the tea room, he heard a familiar name coming from inside.

"I saw Yu Huan with a man at the foot massage parlor yesterday. They were very close and it looked like they had a serious relationship."

"You mentioned Yu Huan. She seems quite well-behaved and easy to flirt with. When we were at the company before, I felt that she had a special relationship with President Meng."

When Meng Han heard this, he reached out and pushed open the door of the tea room.

The gossiping people inside looked at the boss who suddenly appeared at the door and were so scared that they dared not breathe.

Meng Han glanced around the room, then turned to his new secretary and said, "Tell the HR department that anyone who talks about their boss in private doesn't need to come."
