Chapter 23 The Mark of Flowers

Only after Yu Huan came out of the office did He Xiaowei find the opportunity to ask her.

"What happened to your hand? It can't be..."

Yu Huan interrupted his guess, "No, it was hit by a falling clock."

"Tsk, you're really unlucky."

Yu Huan sighed, "That's right."

Because it would take several days to replace the floor, Yu's parents asked Yu Huan to stay temporarily at his grandparents' house.

Yu Huan didn't want to go. She finally had a few days away from her parents, which gave her some chance to breathe. She didn't want to go back and listen to double the scolding and complaints.

Her grandmother has a personality similar to her mother, and the scene of the two of them together is simply suffocating.

Yu Huan was worried about how to avoid going to her grandparents' house. After He Xiaowei knew her troubles, he gave her a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Yu Huan gave him a thumbs up.

"I'll just book a room in a hotel outside the community and stay there for two days." When calling Yu's mother, Yu Huan said the words He Xiaowei taught her.

"Why book a room? You have money to burn! No, hurry up and pack your things and move over to me." On the other end of the phone, Yu Ma spoke in a bad tone with an attitude that would not tolerate disobedience.

Yu Ma's reaction was what she had expected. She replied softly, "Tomorrow we'll be distributing the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits, and I'll also get a gift from Mr. Meng. If I mention my grandparents..."

She didn't say the rest. Given her grandparents' extremely patriarchal nature, her mother couldn't take away anything she had taken away.

Many of those gifts can be exchanged for money directly, so Yu Ma would definitely be reluctant to give them up.

Sure enough, Yu's mother was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, and then said, "I'm staying at the express hotel across the street from the community. I know the owner of that hotel."

"Yeah, I know."

After hanging up the phone, she made an OK gesture to He Xiaowei.

"Looks like you have to treat me to dinner again."

"It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. So let's do it today." She was in a bad mood and wanted to eat something delicious to comfort herself.

"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Xiaoman."

It was just eight o'clock when she returned home after dinner. She packed some luggage and went to a motel outside the community.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I ran into the hotel owner, who was on the phone. When I saw her, I said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'm coming."

Yu Huan knew who was on the other end of the phone.

The mood that had finally eased became heavy again. I had already called her when she got home, but I was still worried about her.

After checking in, I dragged my heavy body into the room and fell on the bed, refusing to move.

At night, I had another familiar nightmare.

When she woke up from her dream, she sat up holding the quilt, gasping for breath and staring at the strange room.

Then, a dull feeling came over her, making her feel suffocated and terrified.

She thought that it was the apartment and the house that trapped her, and that as long as she left there she would be able to have a new life.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't escape at all...

After waking up, she couldn't fall asleep again, and she didn't dare to sleep for fear of falling into another nightmare, so she stayed awake until dawn.

She hadn't slept well for two days, and no matter how she pretended, fatigue was clearly visible on her face.

In the morning, before getting in the car, Meng Han glanced at her face, paused, and stopped.

"Secretary Yu."

Yu Huan nodded and replied, "Mr. Meng."

"If you haven't dealt with things at home, I can give you a day off. Come back to work after you've dealt with them."

To Yu Huan, these words sounded like an accusation against her.

She immediately looked up at Meng Han, her expression a little anxious and a little aggrieved.

"Boss Meng, I can do my job well and won't affect you!"

Meng Han's eyes moved slightly, "I'm not blaming you, I mean, you need to have a good rest."

"I don't need to rest!" Yu Huan answered decisively.

Meng Han said nothing more and got into the car.

Yu Huan took a deep breath and sat in the passenger seat.

On the following day's work, in order to prove that he really didn't need to rest, Yu Huan worked even harder than usual.

The whole person is tense, like a taut string, which may break if you are not careful.

Meng Han saw it, but didn't ask any more questions.

As it was almost time to get off work, Meng Han asked the two of them to go to the car to get the gifts as Xiaowei had said.

This time, Yu Huan got a lot of money. When she returned to the company to get her bag, she ran into Meng Han who was about to leave.

Without the cheerful smile from last time, Yu Huan greeted him politely, "Mr. Meng, thank you for the gift."

After thinking about it, she added, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time, the Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the National Day, so there will be a nine-day holiday. The two of them will not be able to meet for nine days.

"I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in advance."

"Yeah, let's have fun together." Meng Han still had his usual expression, but he said one more word when he passed by her.

"have a good rest."

It was strange that just these four short words swept away the heavy and depressed mood that Yu Huan had been feeling for the past few days, and he even felt a little excited.

Her mood brightened up a lot. She smiled and shouted to Meng Han's back, "Thank you, Mr. Meng! Be careful on the road!"

Meng Han paused slightly, but continued walking forward without stopping.

Yu Huan also started packing up and preparing to go home from get off work.

This time, Meng Han also kept Master He and sent them back one by one, so that they would not be unable to go back with so many bags.

Yu Huan returned to the hotel with a full gift box and couldn't wait to start opening it as soon as he entered the room.

The items were similar to last time: cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, except that the rice dumplings were replaced with moon cakes.

Opening a box of delicious-looking mooncakes, she picked up a piece and ate it while continuing to open the rest of the box.

After looking through the books, she still didn't find the same surprise as last time, which made her feel a little disappointed.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she slapped her face.

He's really been spoiled. Now he's starting to feel disgusted. This pile on the ground can be exchanged for a lot of money!

But...what is this?

She picked up an object she had just taken apart and began to study it.

She was in a hurry to find the voucher and didn't pay attention to it just now. Now looking at it again, she thinks this thing is very strange.

A black leather paddle, beautifully crafted, with a rose embossed on the top.

But she looked left and right and had no idea what it was used for.

I picked up the box and looked at it. There was nothing written on it, not even a logo.

After studying the thing for a while, Yu Huan patted his palm with it. Looking at the mark on his palm that quickly disappeared, he tried it on his arm as if possessed.

With a slight slap, she felt a slight stinging sensation, and then a red rose mark was left on her arm.

Not to mention, it actually looks pretty good against her fair skin.

"Oh~ I know what this is used for! It's used to print the mooncakes!"

She was secretly proud of her own cleverness.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Meng Han got out of his car and searched for the gift box that had just been delivered at noon but couldn't find it.

Could it be that he remembered it wrong and didn't put it in this car?
