บท 17: Go to Hell

Gu Zichen closed the book he was reading and picked his mobile to read the message.

"I want to be alone. I'll be back home soon"

Those few words made him feel extremely restless. He would sure do anything to make her happy for the help she did that morning.

She wasn't home when he came back. So, he waited for her thinking she would be home soon but she was nowhere to be seen. It was almost 8PM and now she was saying she wanted to be alone.

If not for her, in the meeting he would have really nodded 'okay' and finalized everything in his absent mindedness. If not for Wu Jinyan, several troubles would have eaten his valuable time.

From legal issues to complaints from public...who knows when the flooding of problems would end.

She came just like an angel to save him tonnes of headache. He was relieved she's smart enough to identify all the flaws in the commercial before he could point out any.

After he heard her opinion to throw out team leader Su, he did the same within the next few minutes. He checked through all other employees in the company and fired a few more useless staff out the same time.

It's just that he replaced the whole advertising team for being reckless while doing their job. He knew it was not entirely Team Leader Su's fault and everyone from the team had a part in it. They agreed on such improper content to publicize a simple product, in addition they copied someone else's idea.

He did everything exactly as Wu Jinyan said but after a bit of rethinking, he realized his behaviour was totally out of his usual way of dealing matters. Why did he even listen to her in the first place? He must have gone crazy from seeing her bizzare appearance for too long.

Wu Jinyan just walked out of the shower with a towel in her hands drying her hair. She picked the mobile that was nearby to see if she had any notifications. But she received none. Not even a single message from her so called husband.

"What the...?"

Her expectations were drowned in the wide ocean. She thought he would at least ask where she was or if she had eaten anything. To her surprise, he asked nothing.

She was really disappointed. She was upset with this man for being unconcerned about her.

She quarrelled with his brainless employee only because that woman behaved badly towards him and spoke ill of him. Moreover, she was named as a rowdy woman, an uncouth person by his employee. But he wasn't bothered about her. She realised that she fought for nothing.

"Go to hell, Gu Zichen" She screamed and tossed her phone and towel aside and jumped onto her bed.

"Ahh...this is heaven" she curled up into a ball to have a good sleep.

Few minutes later, a sound from outside disturbed her. She ran out of her bedroom and heard clear knocking sounds.

She was in no mood to entertain guests at the moment but someone's already at her door.

She opened the door to find her neighbour's four year old son Little Bunny.

"Aunty Wu, where were you these past few days? I missed you" the kid on the other side of the door asked in a sad voice as he hugged her legs.

Looking at the child's teary eyes, Wu Jinyan was moved. She said in sorry tone " Sorry, Little Bunny. Aunty will be living at some other place from now on and might not stay here anymore..."

She's yet to complete the sentence, the little boy on the other side turned around, and ran away from her sight. He must be very upset.

"Little Bunny!!" Wu Jinyan cried out but she chose to not chase after him. She would let the child digest yhe news. She simply closed the door and walked back into her bedroom.

This kid became very affectionate towards her since the day she moved into this apartment two months ago.

Little Bunny would spend his time with her in the evenings, watch TV, play and eat snacks together with her.

In her free time, she would even take him to the nearby park and watch him play with other kids. There were often times when other people mistook her to his mother.

However, in the past two months, she never once saw his parents and guessed they were busy with work bec once asked about them, the kid would always reply with 'No one at home'

She always wondered who would be heartless to leave their child all alone at home all the day.

Just two minutes later, she heard sounds from outside again. Thinking it was Little Bunny again, she threw open the door without much thought.

But on looking at the tall solid figure standing on the other side of the door, she closed the door without any delay.

How dare he come here?! Fuming in anger, she stomped her feet and went back into her bedroom but soon heard noises again, disturbing her sleep.

As she walked into the living room, she saw the man seated on the couch looking around the place.

She was uncertain how this man came inside when she definitely closed the door before.

"How did you get inside?" Wu Jinyan asked.

"Aunty Wu, I said the apartment's passcode to uncle because he promised me he will let aunty live here with Little Bunny" Wu Jinyan heard a childish voice coming from the kitchen.

She then saw Little Bunny trotting towards the living room and hand a glass of water to Gu Zichen with his cute little hands. "Uncle, here. Drink some water"

"Thank you" Gu Zichen took the water glass and patted the child's head dotingly.

Wu Jinyan was speechless. Their actions were too natural and they behaved like they were in their own house.
