Chapter 57: Retreat
Yu Huan didn't fully realize this cold reality until he returned home, had dinner, washed up and lay down on the bed.
Then she began to comfort herself. Although they had confirmed such a relationship, Meng Han was so busy and not free every day. He would definitely not look for her during working hours.
This reason was so perfect that she couldn't refute it, so she waited for Saturday with great anticipation.
After a busy week, on Friday when get off work was over, Meng Han walked past her workstation as usual and said, "You can leave when it's time."
"Okay, Mr. Meng!"
She spoke this sentence particularly loudly, without showing any signs of fatigue from a week of work. She was more energetic than usual, which made President Meng turn his head and look at her.
Yu Huan misunderstood this glance, thinking it was a hint to her, and looked forward to tomorrow even more.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got off work.
The phone did not receive any message from Meng Han.
It’s okay, he will go back to the old house today and definitely won’t have time to message her. He will probably contact her tomorrow.
After waiting for a long time, Saturday finally arrived.
Yu Huan is the kind of person who wakes up early when he has something on his mind. He woke up before six in the morning and held on to his phone until after ten in the morning, but there was no movement from the phone.
She couldn't help but doze off, and when she woke up around two o'clock in the afternoon, she still hadn't received any message.
The expectation in her heart turned into a faint uneasiness. She waited and waited, until dusk fell and until the night was quiet, but still no news from Meng Han.
She began to comfort herself again, it’s okay, there’s still the weekend!
Maybe he has something to do on Saturday and will definitely contact her over the weekend.
So she waited and waited, from weekend morning to evening, before she woke up from her fantasy.
Meng Han had no intention of contacting her at all.
Suppressing the feelings of loss, uneasiness and grievance in her heart, she began to comfort herself again.
It's okay, he's not the kind of person who would unilaterally break a contract, he might just be too busy.
He was already very busy, with a full schedule every day, and she knew this from the beginning.
Since she chose to start a relationship with him, she should just wait patiently for him to contact her.
Adhering to the principle of obedience, she chose to wait silently.
She waited like this week after week, and until the end of the first month of the lunar year, Meng Han still didn't contact her.
He didn't even give her a hint to prove that they had really had such a night.
She couldn't help but start to wonder, was it just a dream that night? Did nothing really happen between her and Meng Han?
But the ointment placed under her pillow, which she held every day while sleeping, told her.
That was not her dream alone, he was clearly involved in it.
"Secretary Yu."
Yu Huan came out of the conference room and was stopped by Meng Han, "Please order dinner for everyone, and you can leave work at that time."
There is less than half an hour left before get off work ends, but this meeting is not even halfway through and should last until seven or eight o'clock.
"Okay, Mr. Meng." Yu Huan accepted the order and left.
When she finished all her work, it was time to get off work.
She should have followed Meng Han's instructions and left work obediently, but today she felt an impulse in her heart.
She wanted to ask Meng Han in person whether he had forgotten what they had agreed upon or whether he was just teasing her that day.
If she had never had it, she might still wait patiently.
But people are greedy. Once they have something, they will only want more.
Every day, she felt uncomfortable watching Meng Han wandering around in front of her, as she could see him but couldn't touch him.
She was in so much pain that it took a... no, several hugs to comfort her.
After grabbing a bite to eat at the convenience store downstairs, she went back upstairs and waited at her workstation for Meng Han's meeting to end.
This meeting lasted really long, and didn't end until after eight o'clock.
The conference room was not far from her workstation, and when she heard the sound of dismissal, she suddenly became nervous.
She suddenly forgot the wording she had prepared, and began to worry whether Meng Han would be angry because of her self-assertion.
As the footsteps got closer, she became more and more panicked and almost wanted to hide under her workstation. She didn't even dare to look up, for fear of making eye contact with the person who was coming.
"Why are you still here?" Meng Han's voice came from the opposite side.
Along with the sound of footsteps, the second sentence was spoken next to her, "Didn't I tell you to leave work at the appointed time?"
Yu Huan knew that he had to look up and face him, and he had to answer him.
I mustered up the courage to look up, but the moment I saw him and his slightly gloomy brows, my courage instantly vanished, and with it came all the uneasiness and grievances that had been accumulating.
Her eyes suddenly turned red and she was about to cry, so she immediately lowered her head so that he wouldn't see.
Meng Han looked a little stern, thinking that something had happened to her. "Come in with me." He turned and walked towards the office.
Yu Huan followed him in.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard him say, "Why are you crying?"
If he didn't ask, Yu Huan could still hold it back. But as soon as he asked, Yu Huan couldn't hold it back anymore and the tears in her eyes fell down.
She raised her eyes to look at him, with an accusing tone, "Have you forgotten about me... Didn't you agree to... start a new life with me?"
"But...but you never looked for me."
She was so aggrieved that she cried as she spoke, and she no longer felt afraid of him.
Meng Han's expression was not very good. He thought something had happened to her, but he didn't expect it was because of this.
"This is the company." There was some harshness in the words.
Of course Yu Huan knew that this was the company, but other than this place, she had no time to be alone with him, so how could she get an answer from him?
But Meng Han's aura still made her shrink back. She whispered, "I...I'm already off work. You only said not during working hours, not in the company."
Her words left him unable to refute. Looking at the person in front of him who was obviously afraid but still fought for her, he once again felt that he was not only despicable but also shameless.
He regretted it the next day, feeling annoyed at himself for being so stupid as to start such a relationship with a girl who was eight years younger than him and had just entered society.
She doesn't understand anything.
He deliberately treated her coldly, hoping that she would give up and slowly put the matter behind her.
But she surprised him again. He didn't expect that this person who was so honest and cowardly and didn't dare to fight with her parents would take the initiative to come to him again and again, forcing him to look at her with a soft yet tough attitude.
This incongruous trait once again brought out the perverted madness in his bones.
