If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 821 - : The Latest Headlines Out of the Oven
Chapter 821: Chapter 821: The Latest Headlines Out of the Oven
Yu Weiwei’s chest was pounding nonstop; her emotions were indeed too agitated.
She had intended to keep herself calm, to be calm, but, she hadn’t expected it to be absolutely impossible to stay calm.
A layer of sweat had seeped out on her back, and her eyes were filled with fury.
The raging anger seemed as though she wished she could devour Li Beiting whole. Why had he come here? Today was the day he was getting married to Mi Fei, their wedding day!
The wedding that all the city’s media were scrambling to report on!
“Haven’t seen you in nearly a month, why so temperamental now?” Li Beiting walked up to her. “PMS? No, that’s not right, it’s not that time of the month.”
Li Beiting feigned profundity, pretending to calculate, his face full of pensive thoughts.
“Li Beiting, why are you acting like a mangy dog? If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for having security throw you out.”
“Why won’t you listen to my explanation?” Li Beiting frowned. Her temper was really explosive today. “Look at you, obviously caring so much about me, caring that I’m marrying someone else, but you just won’t admit you care about me. The heart of a woman, inscrutable.”
Yu Weiwei still didn’t quite know how to deal with hooligans, so she simply walked over to her desk and dialed a number: “Call security.”
After saying this, Yu Weiwei didn’t look up, continuing to bury herself in the documents.
The young girls downstairs were in the midst of a fervent gossip session when they received Yu Weiwei’s call, and they all were startled.
“Our director has asked for security!
“Did that man just now get fresh with the director?”
“That man seemed quite decent though, could he really have made a move on her?”
“He looks familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before…” the young girl fell into contemplation.
“Our director’s really good at keeping things under wraps; so much time has passed and you don’t hear a hint of scandal about her!”
“That’s right! I remember now, I knew I’d seen that man somewhere, the headlines from yesterday! On the newspapers and online headlines!” The girl smacked her forehead as if she had discovered a new world.
Having said that, she began scrolling through her phone!
Just yesterday, she had seen this man in a lot of news headlines, the man who was getting married today! He was the CEO of… some company or other.
With her saying this, the others became even more curious.
“Could it be that our director’s husband is a celebrity?”
“Wait a second, let me find it for you guys.”
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
The girl quickly searched for the news, opened an article, and zoomed in on the photo.
Most of them hadn’t seen Li Beiting before, but a few had caught a glimpse of him unintentionally.
With her mention of it, they all gathered around.
“It’s him, it’s him! I’m absolutely sure! The man who went upstairs just now is the same person!”
The rest rolled their eyes: “You must be mistaken, this man is the CEO of the Li Family, he’s getting married to the Mi Family’s daughter today, how could he possibly be at the research institute.”
“Impossible, it’s him, exactly the same; the look in his eyes, his height, his features… all exactly the same, it’s him!” the girl said excitedly.
“You must be face-blind…”
“That’s right, this is the CEO of the Li Family we’re talking about, getting married today!”
“How could there be two people who look so alike in this world?!” the girl protested, “If you don’t believe it, let’s go upstairs right now and see!”
“Let’s see then, who’s afraid!”
Having said this, a few brave souls dropped their work and really started preparing to go up to Yu Weiwei’s office. Since Yu Weiwei had also called for security, going up at this time probably wouldn’t get them scolded.
Moreover, Yu Weiwei was usually very amiable with them; if they were discovered, it wouldn’t be too bad, right?
So, the group of them tiptoed upstairs, bending over and keeping their heads low.
When they reached the outside of the office, they heard voices coming from inside.
“Weiwei, I haven’t had lunch yet, and it seems like you haven’t either. Let’s eat together?” Li Beiting said.
Yu Weiwei didn’t respond, her heart set on ignoring Li Beiting.
No amount of hitting or scolding could drive him away; she was out of options.
It’s not like she could physically remove him herself, right? She didn’t have the energy for that.
“Weiwei…”
“Li Beiting, are you freaking blind? Can’t you see how much work I have to do on my desk? Get lost now, don’t interfere with my work! I’m warning you, if you don’t leave, I’ll call the police!” Yu Weiwei said.
Yu Weiwei’s shout startled not Li Beiting, but several people outside the window.
These people made a noise, and Li Beiting, being very alert, immediately opened the office door.
Stepping out, he saw several female colleagues squatting there!
Helpless, he looked at them, and then back at Yu Weiwei.
“Weiwei, are these your subordinates? Not working during office hours and eavesdropping around the corner?!” Li Beiting admonished.
Yu Weiwei stood up, “Director Li, this is a matter for my research institute, and it’s none of your business. Get out now!”
Li Beiting didn’t listen to Yu Weiwei. He walked outside and gave a cold sweep of his gaze over everyone, “From now on, none of you need to come to work again!”
The group exchanged uncomfortable glances.
One of them, a bit more courageous, retorted, “May I ask who you are? Why are you ordering us around? Our boss said it was none of your business!”
“I’m your boss’s husband, is that qualification enough to order you?” Li Beiting replied coldly.
“Husband, huh? Our boss doesn’t even have a boyfriend. You’re pursuing our boss, right? Let me tell you, you won’t succeed. People line up from the south to the north trying to woo our boss; all kinds of men, and what are you?”
At that moment, Li Beiting cast a meaningful glance at Yu Weiwei.
Yu Weiwei didn’t want to interrupt; she remained silent.
Besides, she was indeed a bit tired; even more reason not to want to speak.
“Boss, we’re going to continue working.”
After saying this, the colleagues pushed past and left Li Beiting unregarded.
Just as they were about to reach the stairwell, a gossip-loving female colleague shouted, “Breaking news, the latest breaking news!”
“Xiao Xiao, what are you yelling about?”
“What breaking news has got you so excited?”
Xiao Xiao, not wanting to carry on out of annoyance, patted her chest, gasped and said, “Breaking news, breaking news, just… just look for yourselves!”
She raised her phone in her hand, no longer able to explain.
It was too shocking! Headlines so shocking!
Everyone grabbed her phone, and saw, at the center of the headline, an enlarged photo!
The person in the photo was none other than the man who had just berated them!
And standing beside this man in the picture was a very beautiful woman in a wedding dress.
However, the headline was strikingly conspicuous, the gist of it being that the CEO of the Li Family, Li Beiting, had publicly rejected a marriage proposal! In public! In public!
All eyes widened, they didn’t bother reading the news report, but directly clicked on all the pictures.
Yes, the man in the photos was indeed the man who claimed to be Director Yu’s husband.
