Chapter 273: Waiting in the Wind and Snow
Every member of the organization was equal and free from any bias, including her, the only girl who could call their big boss ‘Brother Yun’.
Of course, everything who remained in the organization was righteous, all those who tried to play tricks and hurt their kind didn’t have the right to stay there. So, the organization wasn’t only a workplace for everyone — it was also a dream and a big family.
Until now, no one has ever taken the initiative to apply for leave, including those who had married and had children. Their partners were also tested by the organization; they could also work in high positions or even just as cleaners or cooks.
Ah! It looks like she would be laughed at the next time she goes back to the headquarters.
Wen Xi had worked as the boss’ special assistant for five years and he never made a mistake — it was clear from his constantly increasing growth points. If he didn’t help that silly woman Tang Xin and get exiled because of it, his growth value probably would’ve been enough to excuse him from death once!
A death avoidance card could allow them to restart in the organization if they were fired from it from making an unforgivable mistake.
Shame, what a shame!
Zhao Yang couldn’t help but sigh again as she continued to investigate that mysterious phone call.
…
Tang Xin caught a taxi back to Gu Xingyun’s place. She got out of the car and saw someone standing by the front gate, waiting firmly in the wind and snow.
When he saw her, a warm smile immediately returned to his freezing face and he walked towards her with gentleness overflowing from his eyes.
At that moment, all the pain and sadness she had accumulated on the way home exploded as she teared up.
“Didn’t I tell you that the weather forecast said that it might snow a bit today before you left? Why did you go out? You didn’t even bring an umbrella or a thicker coat, you must be freezing.” Gu Xingyun took out the long thick coat hidden inside his and wrapped it around her while scolding her lovingly.
Warmth immediately spread through her body.
“Senior…” Tang Xin helped dust off all the snowflakes on him, “How are you so silly? Would you still be waiting if I came back later?”
“Of course! You didn’t pick up when I called so I thought you weren’t in a convenient situation to pick up.” Gu Xingyun replied without hesitation.
Actually, after he finished the second surgery, he called her and Li Yunshen picked up.
There wasn’t too much communication but he knew that she was with Li Yunshen.
His mood immediately dropped and he was worried that she wouldn’t come back again. After finishing the last surgery, he went home exhaustedly, and every minute and second of waiting for her was torture for him.
If it was extravagant just to guard her silently like this, he didn’t know what he could do in the future.
Luckily, she came back at sunset in the wind and snow. She didn’t say that she was leaving and his swaying heart finally settled down.
“Should we go up then?” Tang Xin didn’t miss the loneliness in his eyes.
Was it her? Did she hurt him again?
Perhaps Li Yunshen was right. She didn’t have any reason to stay here anymore. At first, she lied that it was Gu Xingyun’s child and she only moved in because she was afraid that Li Yunshen didn’t believe it and would force her to abort the child. Later, it was because she didn’t see the sadness and pain on Gu Xingyun’s face and eyes, and she didn’t have qualms about staying here because she found here to feel more like home.
It was different now. She saw the pain in Gu Yunshen’s eyes and wondered if she caused it, feeling sorry for not noticing it earlier. She thought that he could pretend like nothing happened if she didn’t specify how much further their relationship could develop, but the reality told her it wasn’t the case.
Her only choice was to leave, she must leave now!
