Chapter 42: Enlightenment
People just can't open up. Once they open up, some instincts will spontaneously awaken.
Yu Huan blushed for a long time after coming out of Meng Han's office, and buttoned his coat up to his chin with a guilty conscience.
She didn't know why she felt guilty, she just felt...
Very astringent.
He Xiaowei glanced at her and frowned, "Aren't you bored? Your collar is buttoned so high, your face is flushed."
Yu Huan touched his face and shook his head, "I'm not bored, I'm just a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
Yu Huan waved his hand at He Xiaowei, "You won't understand even if I tell you."
"You stupid kid! I worked so hard to bring you out here, and now you're starting to blame me for not understanding?"
"You really don't understand. You don't have a dog."
He Xiaowei frowned even more tightly, "Why don't I keep a dog? Where did you put Duoduo?"
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Just focus on your work, work!"
"...Qi, what are you doing? You're talking nonsense!"
Yu Huan is a person with strong professional ethics. Even if it is a big deal, she has to go home and think about it slowly. During working hours, she still has to focus on work.
But today, she was always easily distracted.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s not busy, or if the information her brain receives exceeds her brain’s load, but she would think of it from time to time while working.
After finally getting off work, she didn't dare to leave with Meng Han. She lagged behind and only left slowly after confirming that he had entered the elevator.
In her current condition, if she stayed alone with Meng Han in a narrow space again, she would really suffocate.
She is now very grateful that there is no mind reading in this world. The disgusting things in her mind will not be known by others. Those are things that will make her die of shame.
After getting off work, her thoughts became increasingly out of control, and she began to make wild guesses. She didn't even know how she got home, relying solely on muscle memory to get herself home safely.
After quickly finishing her meal and tidying up, she crawled into bed and began to think about the possibilities she had guessed.
if...
If Meng Han is really...
It is also possible that all this is just her misunderstanding. Meng Han doesn't look like the kind of person who would play these games at all. His private life is as dull as what she sees.
But secretly, she had a hidden expectation.
She hoped he was.
During the past six months of being with Meng Han, Yu Huan received a lot of affirmation from him, more than she had received in the past twenty years combined.
She doesn't even need to try to please others deliberately. As long as she does her job well, she will be recognized.
Before she discovered Meng Han's secret, she always regarded Meng Han as the moon in the sky, out of reach.
And she was just an invisible speck of dust and sand under his afterglow.
She respected him and was in awe of him. She was willing to follow him quietly, obey his orders, and not step out of line.
She really thought so. She had never had any inappropriate thoughts about Meng Han.
But ever since she discovered the secret, ever since she knew that the moon was no longer hanging high in the sky, but perhaps it was within reach.
Her feelings towards Meng Han changed.
All that respect and awe turned into greed at this moment.
She longed to be by his side, to get more of his attention, affirmation, and even a more intimate touch.
When she thought that this might really be possible, her whole face began to heat up again and her heart beat restlessly in her chest.
After taking a deep sigh, she raised her hand and patted her face.
"Don't think about it, don't think about it, just go to sleep!"
The next day was the company's annual meeting, so we only worked half a day and went to the hotel on our own in the afternoon.
The day before, Yu Huan had made an appointment with her colleagues to go to the cosmetics store in the afternoon to do her makeup and styling. After getting ready in the morning, she prepared to go out with the dress she bought yesterday.
Yu Ma came back late yesterday and didn't see the bag she brought back. Now she looked at the brand new packaging bag she had never seen before and frowned.
"You bought clothes? When did you buy them?"
Yu Huan tightened her grip on the bag slightly, "I bought it yesterday to wear to the annual meeting."
"Didn't you buy it last year? You spent hundreds of dollars on it, and you've only worn it once and then stopped wearing it?" Yu's mother said with discontent. "You really think you can make money now, so you spend money so lavishly."
After saying that, she took the bag from Yu Huan's hand and said, "Let me see."
Yu Huan let her take it and read it, without refuting her or stopping her.
Yu Ma took the dress out of the bag, shook it open, and looked at it carefully from front to back. When she found that she couldn't find any problems with it, she stuffed it into her pocket and threw it at her feet.
"How much did you buy it for?"
Yu Huan bent down and picked up the bag, "I bought it for 280."
She omitted a zero, thinking that saying it was cheaper would stop her mother from making trouble, but this sentence actually irritated her mother.
"280? Yu Huan, do you think your mother is a fool? How can you buy clothes from this brand for 280?"
She seemed to have finally found Yu Huan's fault and could vent all the unhappiness in her heart, shouting and cursing at him in a sharp voice.
"You've really grown wings now! You actually lied to me! How long have you been working and you've already learned to lie!"
"You are incredible! You don't learn from your good qualities, but instead learn these virtues!"
Not satisfied with scolding, she raised her hand and slapped Yu Huan in the face.
Yu Huan was slapped on the side of her face, and felt a burning pain on her cheek, but it was only on her face that hurt, and she didn't feel sad this time.
It's like I've become numb.
Yu's mother was still scolding her and was about to reach out to hit her. She looked up at her and said, "Mom, I have to go to work in the morning. Do you want everyone to know that I was beaten?"
Yu Ma's hand stopped in mid-air, and then she withdrew it cursing.
She obviously understood the principle of keeping dirty laundry in public.
Yu Huan picked up his bag and turned to leave the house. He didn't take out his cell phone to look at his face until he got into a taxi.
Her skin was already very sensitive, and even a scratch would leave a mark, let alone a hard slap.
After taking a look, she untied her hair and let it down, hoping to hide the red marks on her face.
She was about to go to Meng Han's house, and she couldn't let him see her in such a state.
