Chapter 10 Part2 (1/2)
The two people talked, and then she turned around to walk away. There was no hesitation, no lingering back. She was wearing high heels; her long legs looked elegant as she crossed the steps.
Linag Wen He suddenly jumped into the car and drove to catch up with her. He slowly trailed next to her, and lowered his window to speak to her. Li Yongxuan did not respond to him at all, continuing to walk straight ahead. He followed her all the way to her home. It was approaching the time when Mai Wei Zhe normally came back home, Liang Wen He was worried he would encounter him and hence drove away. Li Yongxuan went straight in.
Mai Wei Zhe rushed ahead and caught up with her at the door.
” h.e.l.lo”, she was surprised to see him, ”why are you at home so early?”
Mai Wei Zhe looked at her closely. Her huge eyes looked honest and clear. Should he ask her? Or not? Right now, he hated himself. He decided not to ask. He kept quiet. But that night, their love making was even more fierce and intense. It was as if they sought to erase all their doubts and convey the deepest emotions to each other with their bodies. He tired her out so much that she felt weak all over and could no longer keep her eyes open. He let her sleep.
In the dead of the night,she lay on his wide chest, her little soft hand placed on his heart. Half asleep, she murmured, ”I want to discuss something with you..”
Mai Wei Zhe's body stiffened.
”I have been thinking recently..”
He blocked her lips. He suddenly launched an offensive and swallowed her next words.
Li Yongxuan sighed in her heart. How did she end up marrying such a rogue husband? Every time she wanted to speak to him, he immediately dodged her. He was even more sensitive than wild animals.
As a result, she repeatedly kept looking for opportunities, tried to broach the topic…
But his vigour was not restricted to the game alone…
However her troubles were not going to magically disappear. It was imperative for her to find a job as a sports agent. She collected all the information, selected a number of sports agencies and sent her resume. She landed a few interviews as well , everything looked promising… but the outcome was the same. She had no offers in hand
After much perseverance, she figured that the reason was because the Yang group had been giving her bad references. Ming Yang was her former employer. They never gave her a letter of recommendation. But when the other companies did a reference check, they mentioned that she was not a professional, had engaged in an office romance, that her private life was messy. Who would hire such an a.n.a.lyst?
Extremely frustrated, Li Yongxuan tried to contact her former supervisor but was unable to even get in through the door. The Yang Group was determined to destroy her reputation.
Then Liang Wenhe approached her.
Strictly speaking, he had tried to meet her several times. Once, he had almost driven right upto the Mai family house.Li Yongxuan had just come back after an interview and was worried he would disturb Grandpa.
He insisted on speaking to her and refused to go; she insisted that there was nothing between them.
Till Liang Wen He raised the issue of sponsors.h.i.+p. Coupled with his willingness to solve the issue of Yang Group maligning her, she finally agreed to meet him in the office.
But when she entered the third floor office -
” I have finally divorced my wife”, Liang Wen He came straight to the point. He looked extremely sincere.” I know you worked very hard, and wrote the reports for me. I realise that I missed that opportunity.”
Li Yongxuan looked at him. His facial features were very familiar, his sincere demeanour was also very touching, he looked graceful in a well tailored expensive suit. But as he stood before her, she only felt a sense of extreme discomfort.
She shook her head, ”Director Liang, I am not talking about all this. I just want to talk about the sponsors.h.i.+p for the training centre and about the negative references …”
Liang Wenhe interrupted her, ”After the divorce, I may be asked to leave the Yang Group, I may not be a director here anymore, but for you, I don't regret anything. I am serious.”
Li Yongxuan widened her eyes, what was happening? They were talking of two different things.
She raised her hand and showed him the ring she was wearing, ” But I am already married.”
”You can get divorced. And I checked, you have not registered your marriage yet.”Liang Wenhe smiled tiredly, ” What can Mai Wei Zhe give you ? You need someone mature to take care of you. He is young, too young to even take care of himself. He married you on an impulse, but you wont be happy with him.”
His words pierced her heart like an arrow, secretly exposing her greatest fear. Did he marry her on an impulse?
Although they were sweet together, but when they were separate, she worried she would lose him. She couldn't even sit down and have an open discussion like two mature adults…
Her heart trembled slightly but nothing appeared on the surface.
She said quietly, ”It seems that Mr Liang does not want to talk to me about work. In that case, sorry, we don't have anything to talk about.”
Just because she couldn't talk to Mai Wei Zhe did not mean that she would talk to other men.
She did not dawdle any longer and walked away.
Liang Wenhe went with her down the stairs, and right upto the parking lot outside the building.
With his hands in his pockets, in a leisurely manner, he told her, ”In the past, I was stupid, I know. But now I know what I want the most. I can give you the best comfort. You are a good a.n.a.lyst. I believe that you can rule out the emotional factors and a.n.a.lyse what is the best choice for you.”
”Because I am an a.n.a.lyst, I know that some things cannot be a.n.a.lyzed”. She smiled at him, ” Mr Liang, let me remind you again, both of us are married to other people. This is not a suitable topic to discuss. Goodbye.”
Seeing that she was really intent on leaving, Liang Wen He couldn't believe that he was getting rejected once again.In desperation, he grabbed her wrist.
” Last time when you refused me, you lost your job. This time if you refuse, what will happen, who will get impacted, aren't you worried about that?” He lowered his voice, very mildly, he continued, ”Do you want to do this again?”
Li Yongxuan forced off his hand and retorted back with incredulity, ” Last time, your wife personally kicked me out..”
Before she could finish , suddenly, they both heard people shouting!
” What are you trying to do?”
”Let her go.”
A few men holding sticks appeared in front of them.
Li Yongxuan was pulled to a side and behind the crowd. When she looked at them, she realised that they were all from the speed skating team. Leading them was a ferocious looking Xiaoyu. He roared at Liang Wenhe, ”If you dare touch her again, I will break your arm. If you don't believe me, just try!”
These athletes were physically strong. They had weapons, there were many people and they looked angry.Unexpectedly, Liang Wenhe was scared.
”Xuan Xuan sister, don't be afraid. Even if Brother Mai is not here, we will protect you!” Anrun a.s.sured her. The young, handsome face was utterly determined.
Mai Wei Zhe was out of town to attend a charity event for two days. Anrun knew this. So when he saw Li Yongxuan not far from the training center, he paid close attention. If Brother Mai was not around, he was the one unequivocally responsible for taking care of her
( Miumiu : Aww, Anrun is so cute ! I cant help wanting to hug him :))

Really, what she thought of the training center was right. This was like a second home, and the team was like a family to her
Liang Wenhe angrily left without a word.
This was probably the first time in history that his courts.h.i.+p had been rejected.
Li Yongxuan was still shocked. She stared at the sticks in their hand, ”What are these?”
” Oh, we borrowed this from the ice hockey team”. Ferocious Xiaoyu at that moment had reverted back to his simple and honest form. He giggled and bashfully scratched his head 'Otherwise we had no weapons. Ice skates are too expensive, they are sharp as knives but difficult to use…”
Li Yongxuan laughed, although there was nothing funny actually.
She sincerely thanked the group of lovely brothers, ”Thank you for helping me out with the bad guys.”
” Dont be formal. We should!” Anrun grabbed the phone and anxiously announced, ”I will inform Brother Mai immediately, he must..”
She caught his hand and stopped him from dialling.
” Do not bother him now, ok?” she said softly,” Let me tell him.”
”..But..”
” You are all aware of his temper…” Li Yongxuan deliberately paused for a moment,” if you tell him now , he will probably leave the event immediately, sit in a plane and fly back.”
When she made this remark, everyone agreed.
Really, Xuan Xuan sister understood Brother Mai so well.
She was determined. Tonight, no matter what, she would have an open and honest discussion with him.
