He Is Warmer Than Time-Chapter 45
Chapter 45: Ill-fated Mandarin Duck
“Why did you lie to me? You didn’t go to the Damuqiao Bird and Flower Market, am I right?”
As she spoke, rage flared in her eyes.
Yet, Song Ran laughed about it lightheartedly and said, “Oh, right. I had a change of heart this morning, so we went to People’s Park instead. I forgot to tell you about it.”
She had an indifferent attitude and she was definitely not taking Wen Huihui seriously. She acted like it was no big deal to have fooled her and made her waste her day at the bird and flower market and this made Wen Huihui even more furious.
Wen Huihui gritted her teeth while staring at Song Ran and she said, “Ran, why are you always so cautious around me as if I’m a thief?”
All her actions left Wen Huihui extremely lost. Wen Huihui was determined to find out the truth and not let Song Ran be so vigilant.
Song Ran glanced at her lazily and said, expressionless, “Cautious around you? Huihui, what have you done that I would have my guard up around you?”
The dusk deepened. It was like Song Ran’s expressions: deep and quiet without any fluctuating emotions. Wen Huihui was unable to see clearly the emotions in her eyes neither was she able to guess her inner thoughts.
The 18-year-old Song Ran was no longer the girl she could control.
Something must have gone wrong.
Wen Huihui had always been the one who played the key decisive character in their relationship.
Now, she was actually afraid of Song Ran.
She let out an extremely awkward smile and said, “Ran, you have been overthinking lately. What have I done?”
Song Ran looked at her and said, “Alright, I’m tired from the day out with Jinghang. I want to rest. You should go home.”
An order to leave again? She f***ing gave me an order to leave again! Wen Huihui stood rooted to the ground as she tried hard to bring her emotions to the surface and put on a pitiful front before saying, “Ran, I don’t know what went wrong between us. Maybe someone with a motive said something behind my back, but I’m sure you’re fully aware of how I’ve always treated you. I hope you think this through carefully and stop being blinded by others.”
Song Ran lifted the corner of her mouth. She is indeed so dignified in her pretense.
She remained silent and only gave Wen Huihui a knowing look before she turned and went upstairs immediately.
Wen Huihui clenched her teeth angrily, but she had no other choice but to leave.
The next day, Song Ran got up early again. She had to go to the park for cleaning duties.
She wore a white short-sleeved shirt and put on a blue and white checkered overall. She also tied her hair back in a high ponytail which made her look fresh and cool.
At the second research institute of Songshen County in the Section Chief’s office, Chief Liang looked at the man standing before his desk. He waved his hand and approved his leave request.
Gu Jinghang rushed to the city and arrived at the People’s Park.
Without any connection or ties, he became Team Leader at a young age, using his own capabilities. How could Gu Jinghang be so easily fooled?
Coming up with an event to issue free tickets? Song Ran could only fool young kids with that. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
Gu Jinghang stood outside the window of the ticketing counter and he realized that the ticketing officer was not the lady from the previous day. He hesitated for a moment before he asked, “Hi there, I would like to ask if you know where the ticketing lady who was on shift yesterday is?”
The middle-aged lady raised her head to look at him and said, “You are looking for Supervisor Li? What’s the matter?”
“Please inform her that I’m the visitor who collected tickets from an event yesterday. I have something to clarify with her.”
The ticketing officer looked him over carefully before she picked up the telephone on the table. She punched in a few numbers and said a few lines to the person over the phone.
