Chapter 3 (2/2)
But I am not a bit happy.
Alas, a person’s heart is inconstant.
Originally I just thought it was Lu Yu Jiang who harbor ulterior motives, elusive, however it seems that even Chi Fei Fan I also could not figure out what he was thinking.
Regardless, I have to be firm, and told Chi Fei Fan, “Brother-in-law, I have always regarded you as my own elder brother, my elder sister is gone, you have been in a foreign country, I think you roughly feel a little empathy for me, but we’re really not suitable, I also cannot accept this. “
“It does not matter.” His gently smile, patted my hand encouragingly, “I know that you temporary cannot accept this, I will let you slowly come to accept this, give me some time, I will make you see…….”
I felt a headache, what has the world become ah……
It is…… So much that a person is left without any strength.
Whatever Chi Fei Fan says he will do it, he no longer vigorously send roses, but every morning, there’s always a small gift on my desk, sometimes sea lavender, sometimes chocolate, sometimes just a card, sometimes even a small pot of cactus.
After work, he would ask me to dinner, to play ball, watch a movie, very, very standard pursuit mode.
At first, a group of colleagues in the company’s were scared out of their chins, and then, it became the norm.
If an unexpected incident has become the norm, it is not called an accident.
A Technical Director, clearly, is seriously pursuing a corporate administrator, in fact, it was not a big deal.
It is not an office romance? As long as they do not hinder their work, from the Big Boss to cleaning old lady, who wouldn’t turn a blind eye?
Day after day I was in such ostrich, and found myself trapped in people’s offensive ocean.
Everyone in the company will definitely have acquiesced that Chi Fei Fan was pursuing me, after work there are people who deliberately left the elevator in an open position, so he told me to stand together. Chi Fei Fan’s secretary also treated me with a hint of favoritism, occasionally when it’s still lunch break, intentionally or not she would explain to me recently Director Chi has been working overtime and attending meetings every day, so his very tired very busy, perhaps his mood isn’t particularly good and so on ……
Kao!
I’m not in the troops.
In such a solemn and stirring, depression and incomprehensible atmosphere, one day after another pa.s.sed.
The only good news is, I finally find a suitable house, I can move.
When it was time to sign the lease contract, I suddenly found, I didn’t bring my permanent residence booklet [6] from the villa.
[6] Permanent Residence booklet is basically the Cizitens.h.i.+p Certificate.
When I got married my permanent residence booklet was still at school, from the collective households directly moved to Lu Yu Jiang’s residence account, after our divorce I forget to move it out.
The landlord would not have it, regardless life or death insisted I needed to show my permanent residence booklet.
Left with no choice, I had to go back and get it.
I have purposely chosen an auspicious time—— eight o’clock on a Sat.u.r.day morning, this time regardless of the weather Lu Yu Jiang will go play tennis, so he certainly will not be at home.
Originally I didn’t bring my key door, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to enter. Who know just coming out of the cab I would encounter the neighbor Mrs. Lee, she showed up in a small red sports car driving towards the gate area, upon seeing me she deliberately stop to say h.e.l.lo, “Ah, Mrs. Lu, today there’s no driver to pick you up?”
This Mrs. Lee lived in the building next door to us, her husband is also a businessman. They once had a Christmas party at their place, also specifically invited Mr. Lu Yu Jiang and his wife, so I know her. This is so-called luxury villa, with an entire private garden. The neighbors who came out to walk their dog would occasionally see each other. We didn’t have a dog, however I had lived here for the three years, so in an instant I was quite familiar with a number of neighbors. Mrs. Lee is actually very hospitable, urged me to get into her car, “Come, I’ll take you in, to save you from walking.”
I didn’t think it’ll turn out so smoothly.
Arriving at the entrance I thanked Mrs. Lee, after getting off I began to wonder, I still don’t know the pa.s.sword, how am I going to get in?
The study room’s French windows are open, white screens flutter in the morning breeze, as if there’s a giant hand gently stroking them. I have not earnestly observed the house before, although I lived here for a few years, but unexpectedly it seems like so strange.
I took my coat off, since there’s really no other alternative, but to climb!
I knew that the area was full of the probe, a climbing terrace surely be found by the security guards, however since they thought I was the owner, even if I climb my own villa, it will be considered a whim prompted by a sudden impulse.
I successfully got into the study from the balcony, landing on the ground I let out a sigh of relief. Luckily the study room’s door was not locked, in the quiet corridor, it was absolute silence.
Mr. Lu Yu Jiang, your sense of security is really bad……
But small towering wall, 24 hour grid probe monitoring, not only was there’s security, there was even the patrol dogs are very loyal…… So when I was at home, I always forget to lock the door leading to the balcony.
There was no one in the empty guest room, it seems Lu Yu Jiang indeed has gone to play tennis. I was full of confidence, boldly rummage through the cabinets, did not expect to be covered in sweats, and still have not found my permanent residence booklet.
Strange, where did my permanent residence booklet go?
Lu Yu Jiang was responsible for keeping the family’s important doc.u.ments and money. I know the bedside drawer there is always a wad of cash, originally it was pocket-money given to me, after it’s all taken he would put more in, in fact, he didn’t care about the money, because after the divorce, I once I was pressed hard for money, so I secretly took one thousand block from the drawers, then after I received my salary I replaced the money, he also didn’t notice, but I never asked him where he put the permanent residence booklet.
I felt defeated sitting on the carpet, I didn’t make this trip to go back empty-handed, right?
Never mind, there’s still the master bedroom.
Plucking my courage I crept through the corridors, gently pushed open the master bedroom’s door.
The curtains closed, the room was obscure, after a few seconds my eyes adjust to the indoor light.
The next thing had me stunned and exclaimed, “Ah!”
There was a person on the bed!
Lu Yu Jiang!
He…… He…… He still sleeps here!
I have forgotten that if I moved out, he would have to move back to the master bedroom, but isn’t he supposed to be playing tennis?
On closer look, fortunately it’s okay, there’s only him on the bed.
However, my screaming has roused him, he opened his eyes and looked at me.
I stayed wooden and stoned. I originally thought that he would be ablaze with anger asking me how I came in, I didn’t think he would just glance at me, then closed his eyes.
I cautiously approached near the bed, tried to call his name, the results he just grunted, seems like not awaken, I ventured to move forward, who knew he would suddenly grab my wrist, frightened me out of my wits.
His palm was burning hot that it was startling, I touched his forehead, also terrifyingly hot, turns out he had a high fever.
No wonder he didn’t go to play tennis, no wonder the sun is three poles high and he’s still sleeping, the formerly fierce tiger really has become a sick cat.
In my impression, Lu Yu Jiang was never sick.
Every time when it was spring and autumn flu season, I always was the first to get infected, even if I didn’t take two-step out of the entrance, ultimately I’ll be at home by the tissue box, taking cold medicine, affected by a cough, and then finally forced to go to see the doctor to get antibiotics. And Lu Yu Jiang always seems to be immune to bacteria, even a sneeze didn’t affect him. In my mind, he is the deformation of steel in Megatron, never aged, never ill, immortal, the ultimate impeccable villain BOSS, ten Ye Jing Zhi combined also was no match for him.
I didn’t think he would have a day like this.
The great man saying is so right, all reactionaries are paper tigers! [7]
[7] 一切反动派都是纸老虎 All reactionaries are paper tigers: The term refers to something that seems threatening but is ineffectual and unable to withstand challenge. The expression became well-known in the West as a slogan used by Mao Zedong’s Chinese communist state against its opponents, particularly the U.S. government.
I wickedly want to fill his drink with salt water, give him rhizoma coptidis to consume causing him to have diarrhoea, while he was sick, wanting his life!
Forget it, a day together as husband and wife means endless devotion the rest of your life [8], even if we’re divorce, I cannot do this extremely cruel and merciless thing, right?
[8] 一日夫妻百日恩 Yī Rì Fū Qī Bǎi Rì ēn: one day of married life breeds a hundreds day’s attachment; one day of love between husband and wife cannot be easily forgotten; one day of married life fosters enduring affection
“Hey!” I asked him, “Where did you place the permanent residence booklet?”
He didn’t answer me, his eyelids seemed to flutter, however he continue to sleep.
This guy!
