Chapter 8.1 (1/2)

Chapter 8.1

When Gao Xi Li saw me, my estimation it was enemy meeting with particular jealousy, her gaze was like a swis.h.i.+ng knife, my gaze was like a whizzing bullet, a cold weapon against a hot weapon, who was afraid of who? Finally, she was unable to withstand the sustain blows, her eyes were red, dejectedly retreat.

Lu Yu Jiang still wanted to send her out. Well, even if sending each other off I will make you two break up, you want to play 《b.u.t.terfly Lovers》, I tell you even if one become a fly one become a b.u.t.terfly, you won’t even have the chance to fly side by side. So I suddenly jumped up, pull Lu Yu Jiang’s sleeve, “Yu Jiang, I have something important to tell you.”

I never ever called Lu Yu Jiang this way, whining so much even I have got goose b.u.mps. I grabbed and held onto Lu Yu Jiang’s sleeves, he also didn’t pull my hands away, however stared at me with his eyes.

I was accustomed to his stare, like a sticky candy I just smile at him.

The beautiful Secretary act very accordingly, seeing Gao Xi Li br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, she immediately said, “Miss Gao, I’ll send you out, the elevator is this way.”

Gao Xi Li got a way out, turned and left.

Lu Yu Jiang didn’t look at me, he stormed into the office. I followed him in, he didn’t talk to me.

Who said a distressed Phoenix is inferior to a chicken ah? Seeing him hold his airs appearance, like there was no difference from before.

However on a closer look, I felt that his complexion was not very well, there were black circles around his eye, his chin was more pointer than before, obviously thinner.

We only haven’t seen in a few days, he has worn out incredibly.

It seems what Chi Fei Fan said was 80% accurate.

Originally I thought Lu Yu Jiang was second generation rich [1], at best he can be considered an entrepreneurial success, now I think about it, in fact, it has not been easy for him, there were several firms under his management, with so many employees, they all rely on him for a living. The board of directors were a bunch of old guys who are ruthless and greedy [2], I remember every time before the board conferences, a few days he obviously had the instability to eat and sleep well, even when I act endearingly [3] he also ignore me.

[1] 二世祖 èr Shì Zǔ: is a Cantonese term. Refers to a generation of powerful rich people, the next rich generation that just idle away in seeking pleasure without a single success. However for the translation I have used 富二代 Fù èr Dài which is the Mandarin term with the same meaning.

[2] 吃人不吐骨头 Chī Rén Bù Tǔ Gǔ Tóu: To eat and not spit the bones it’s a Chinese idiom which means cruel, and greedy.

[3] 发嗲 Fā Diǎ: In Shanghai dialect, not only a young woman but also a man can employ endearment to attract attention or invite sympathy.

“Have you stared enough yet?” He folded his arms and leaned back in his chair, his eyebrows knitted together in a little frown, between his eyebrow there was an apparent word “River”. I suddenly wanted to have an iron, to iron flat this word.

I pulled my skirt, coughed again, not knowing what to say.

His eyes narrowed, “You wouldn’t be bringing me your wedding invitation? What a big thing ah? Bring it out then, I said I will send you a red envelope.”

I was angry with him and ask, “Would you marry ‘Koguryo’?”

He hesitated for a moment then came to understand, “What ‘Koguryo’, why do you give people nicknames? Miss Gao is my girlfriend, whether I marry her or not, it’s none of your business.”

He always had a way to make me feel heart-broken, also not waiting for me to speak, he put out a “attending to a myriad affairs daily” posture, “What’s the matter?? I have a meeting in a moment.”

I open and closed my mouth, seeing that I rarely spoke haltingly, he unexpectedly smiled, “What words are that difficult to export, it is difficult because you want to borrow money from me?”

This a.s.sh*le caused me much anger, I blurted out and said, “I’m pregnant.”

Saying the two words was much more difficult than I’ve imagined, what if he wasn’t excited as I was, but I spent a tremendous effort, it was almost hard to make them come out through my teeth. The office was very quiet, I could even hear my own heartbeat, thump thump. My palm was also sweaty, my eyes never blinked, stared into his eyes, wanting to see what his reaction would be.
