Jane shook her head. ”I don't want to eat anymore. I have no appetite.”
”Eat without an appetite? You have a competition soon! Could it be that we're not going to compete anymore? ”
Competition?
Jane let out a cold snort, her face showing a painful expression. She had once participated in the competition for Gu Chen, but now this man was someone she didn't even know. So what was the purpose of her participating in the competition?
Jane replied, ”I won't participate.”
She continued, ”Okay, I need to rest. I'm hanging up.”
Jane didn't wait for Wenren to agree. She just hung up the phone and flipped through the pages until she realized that many of her colleagues had called her. Jane replied to everyone with great guilt and regret. She apologized and then went back to work. However, this incident had a certain effect on her. She was afraid that she would have to work all kinds of overtime work after work.
Jane casually threw her phone to the side and was about to bury herself under the warm blanket when she heard someone knocking on the door outside.
At first, she didn't want to move her body, but she was too tired. Although she was in a deep slumber, her mind kept going back to Gu Chen's indifferent expression, as well as his consideration for dealing with the Morning Star realm. Those things were like needles stabbing into her heart one after another.
Jane was thinking that it would have been better if she had just been lying there. If people outside knew that there was no one in the house, they would have naturally left as well. However, things did not go according to her plan. Instead, she waited for a call from her cell phone. After answering, she heard Wenren Wu-Shuang's slightly angry voice, ”Jane Chu, open the door.”
Jane's eyes were squinted, she was curled up like a kitten.
”What's wrong?”
”I'm at the door. Open it.”
Wenren came to the door? Jane's heart skipped a beat and she quickly got up from the bed. She cleaned up the bed and went to the door. Just as she opened it, a huge figure enveloped her.
”You were clearly at home. Why didn't you open the door for me?”
There was a hint of anger in Wenren Wu-Shuang's voice, but she was still worried. Wenren became really anxious. He called Jane more than a dozen times, but each time, no one answered. He even called her office, but he didn't come to work. Now he was so happy and angry to see Jane standing there in her perfect condition. For a moment, he had mixed feelings.
Jane licked her somewhat dry lips, frowned, and answered with a guilty conscience, ”I, I didn't hear anything.”
”You can't lie, so don't try to lie like others. Look at your eyes, they are already floating. Alright, alright. I just need to know that you are safe.” Wenren Wu-Shuang sighed helplessly, ”What happened? You now have two eyes... Why is it so red and swollen?
Jane didn't want her own matters to affect the others, so she quickly covered her eyes, squeezed out a smile and said: ”What can I do! I must have slept too much before my eyes became like this. ”
Wenren Chuchu couldn't do anything about the woman in front of her, so she closed the door and pulled Jane to the sofa. She carefully observed the woman's eyes, which were still as beautiful as ever, but now they were like two walnuts! Wenren didn't know exactly what had happened, but he knew that a woman must be very upset about something, and that was why she was acting this way. Wenren asked, ”Does your house have a spoon? Ice block? ”
Jane didn't want Wenren to see her eyes at first, and she could feel it herself. Her eyes must have been red and swollen, and she had been shielding them with her hands. After hearing Wenren's question, she pointed at the kitchen randomly, ”It's right over there in the kitchen!”
Jane was wondering when this man would be willing to leave. She didn't want to keep using her hands to block her eyes. She heard some rustling sounds coming from the kitchen and didn't know what he was doing. Just as Jane was about to go to the washroom and wash her face, a cold object was pressed against her eyes.
