Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband - Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Resignation to Assume the Responsibility
The file says: Assistant Li is expected to resign to assume the responsibility!

Xia Ning is chocked. She reads the file carefully.

It says in the file that five days ago, Li Baoer was in charge of the exclusive interview with the Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau, but because of other reasons, she neglected her duty and didn’t arrive at the Bureau on time. The Deputy Director was very angry, believing that the World Era Weekly didn’t respect him. Based on this event, the Director of Current Affairs suggests that Assistant Li should resign to assume the responsibility.

Xia Ning reads the file for several times and then she says, “The file doesn’t tell why Assistant Li didn’t show up in the Urban Construction Bureau. This is a question. I hope Director Gu can look into the event to see what happened.” Xia Ning pauses here, “Director, I am not partial of Li Baoer because she is my friend. There must be some reasons for that Li Baoer didn’t go to the Urban Construction Bureau as planned.”

“About this event, I talked with Baoer privately.” Gu Luan says. Wan Liqing has made the coffee.

“You two may have a taste to see whether you like the coffee.” Wan Liqing says and passes each of them a cup of coffee.

“Thank you.” Xia Ning takes a sip of it. It is very sweet and fragrant.

Gu Luan puts the coffee down. It seems that he is not going to drink it at once. He continues, “Baoer said that she had been hit by a car on the way because of protecting an old man. She was in hospital.”

Baoer had a car accident?

Xia Ning is shocked blankly. She tries her best to restrain the urge of going to see Baoer.

“As it is, why Baoer is required to resign to assume the responsibility?” Xia Ning is confused.

“The point is that the camera in the place where Baoer was hit was broken and no video about it could be found.” Gu Luan frowns slightly.

“Without the video, it is difficult for us to explain to the Urban Construction Bureau.”

Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Did the hospital show any evidence?”

“The hospital said they were only normal scratches and it is absolutely possible for her to walk at that time. But after Li Baoer came out from the hospital, she didn’t go to the Urban Construction Bureau nor call our company.” Gu Luan shakes his hand, “It became a little complicated.”

“Then, where is Baoer? Is she at work?”

“No.” Gu Luan sounds worried, “Li Baoer didn’t come to work yesterday…”

“What?” Xia Ning loses her color. She hurriedly takes out her phone and dials the number, but is told that the number is power off.

It is bad. Did anything happen to Baoer?

The scene of Baoer being kidnapped pops in Xia Ning’s brain. Her heart tightens. She dials Dai Zhongheng’s number.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service.”

Hearing this, Xia Ning feels her heart heavy.

Dai Zhongheng’s phone is out of service, while Li Baoer’s is power off. What on earth happened?

“Actually, I asked you to come today to ask about Li Baoer’s issue. Now, it seems that you know nothing about it.”

“Hum. I just learn it now.” Xia Ning feels very guilty. She seldom contacted Li Baoer recently for all kinds of reasons. How can anything happen to her so suddenly?

What can she do? What can she do?

“Director, will you fire Baoer?”

“No, not for now. I will check what happened first.”

Xia Ning curls her lips, “Director, give me some time. I will try to find Baoer. Director, Baoer attaches great importance to this job. Before everything is clear, please give her a chance.”

“I know. Baoer works hard during the time. I am also investigating this event. You are her best friend. You should know how to find her.”

“I understand. Thank you, Director.” Xia Ning responds decisively. She knows that Yi Yunrui is very good at finding people.

“Director, I may leave now.” Xia Ning takes the file with her. She has hardly taken any steps when Gu Luan calls her.

“If you get any information about Baoer, please let me know at once.”

“Hum. Thank you for your attention.” Xia Ning goes out hurriedly.

“Luan.” Wan Liqing says, “The coffee is cool. You may drink it now.”

Gu Luan slightly pauses and takes a sip of the coffee. He frowns. It is very sweet.

He is just going to speak and he remembers Xia Ning’s expression. Looking at Wan Liqing’s intense eyes, he nods, “It is tasty. Thank you.”

Wan Liqing gives a sigh of relief, “If you like, I can make a cup of it for you every morning. OK?”

“No need. This is what my assistant does.” Gu Luan refuses frankly.

“Luan, I am back, can you…wasn’t it done by me before? When you came back, there was always a cup of coffee on the table.”

Five years ago, Gu Luan was not yet the director. They worked at the positions of the same level. Every day when Gu Luan came back, she must have got a kettle of coffee ready for him. Then, she would see him drink it happily.

But she missed him because of her ignorance.

For five years, she has been missing him every minute. She was wrong. She was really wrong.

She thought that money is happiness. But it turns out to be wrong.

When she was with Gu Luan, though they didn’t have so much money, she was happy.

Something happened to her marriage. When she learned that Gu Luan was still single. She felt hopeful again, instinctively feeling that Gu Luan did everything for her.

Though Gu Luan refused her the other day, Gu Luan still gave her a thread of hope.

She knows that Gu Luan still cares for her. She knows that she still has the chance.

Gu Luan stops signing. He feels disgusted, “Past is past, not now. Liqing, I didn’t put sugar in my coffee in the past. I add sugar and milk in it now.” Saying this, Gu Luan pauses, “Director Xia has left. As her assistant, you may leave as well.”

Wan Liqing feels her heart aching, “Luan, I want to stay with you…”

He was the one she loved most and the one who loved her most. She knows that she was wrong. She came back this time to stay with him all her life. However, after these years, he has changed and she feels him a little strange.

“No need. It will make others misunderstand. It is work time. You may leave now.”

Misunderstand? What she wants is a misunderstanding!

Though she is unwilling, Wan Liqing stands for a while and says, “OK. I may go now.”

Then, Wan Liqing turns to leave. She looks at Gu Luan intensely when she closes the door.

She won’t let go of this man again.

Xia Ning dials Yi Yunrui’s number and hurriedly asks, “Rui, are you free now?”

“Why?” Aware of Xia Ning’s anxiety, Yi Yunrui is worried, “What happened?”

“Rui, something happened to Baoer. Are you free? Can you find where Baoer is now?”

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. He remembers that Dai Zhongheng is out for a mission, “Can you tell me what happened to Baoer?”
