Chapter 204: Mr. Guan, please respect yourself! [Update 1]
…
In the office.
Guan Zhen squatted on the ground, holding his wife in his arms. His warm palms brushed across her face, and he said softly, "Lanlan, tonight..."
"Can I go home for dinner?"
Gao Yaren, who was leaning on his shoulder, suddenly distanced herself from him and glared at him, "Don't even think about it!"
Man: “That’s my home too!”
Gao Yaren bit her lip, stretched out her hand and pushed him away fiercely, then stood up in her high-heeled boots and looked down at him: "I'm here to talk to you about work today, not personal matters. Please respect yourself, Mr. Guan."
Guan Zhen fell to the ground with a thud, a strand of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, looking a little wolfish.
He looked up at her and said, "Lianlian, that child pretending to be our daughter has been away from home for almost ten years. In these ten years, I have only been home for meals a handful of times. I am already fifty years old, I can't always live in the factory, can I?"
Gao Yaren stared at the man with her beautiful eyes that were slightly red from crying, and gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Guan, please respect yourself!"
"Since you have to meet someone later, I won't disturb you. Goodbye!" As she said this, she turned sideways, bent down, picked up the handbag on the sofa, and stepped out.
Seeing this, Guan Zhen quickly stood up.
He grabbed his wife's wrist and whispered, "Since it's Cheng Gong and his friends who are here, why don't you stay and listen to what they have to say?"
Gao Yaren stopped and looked sideways at him.
Guan Zhen nodded slightly: "Stay, huh?"
When it comes to work issues, the woman's well-maintained face showed all the grief, bitterness and despair, and her eyes showed only calmness and a sternness that made people stay away from her.
She nodded: "Where am I hiding?"
"That's it."
Guan Zhen pointed to a door in the office and said, "That suite is where I usually rest."
Gao Yaren bit her lip.
His eyes fell on the door panel, hesitantly: "..."
Guan Zhen sighed: "We have been married for half of our lives. We have done everything we should do, and we have done everything we shouldn't do..."
Gao Yaren glared at him and said, "Shut up!"
After saying that, she walked over, but her heels landed hard on the mahogany floor, making a thudding sound, representing the woman's angry temper.
When Guan Zhen saw her push the door and walk in, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
There was doting in his eyes.
Half a lifetime has passed and I’m almost an old lady.
Still the same temper...
The man shook his head helplessly, turned around and sat back at his desk, looking through some documents while waiting for Cheng Gong and the others.
…
Gao Yaren closed the door gently, stood still, and slowly scanned the room in front of her.
It’s been almost ten years.
This was the first time she had entered his room.
The room was not very big, and there weren't many things in it. There was only a simple camp bed, a dark green quilt cover and pillows, and a few sets of clothes... and underwear hanging on the wall.
There was also a corner cabinet with a few books on it.
There was a window in the room, and the warm midday sun shone through the clean glass, filling the entire room and falling on the bed, bedding, and mahogany floor.
Make the room warm and comfortable.
Gao Yaren put down her purse, walked lightly to the bedside, and helped the man tidy up the bedding. As she did so, she muttered softly, "You rough old men, you don't even know how to tidy up your room."
After tidying up the bedding, she turned around and sorted out all the books that were scattered everywhere.
She took off all the underwear and clothes hanging on the wall, folded them, and placed them neatly in the closet next to her. After doing all this, tiny beads of sweat overflowed from the tip of Gao Yalian's nose.
She sat down, grabbed her purse, took out her cosmetics, and began to touch up her makeup.
