Chapter 105: Feng Ling’s Entrance
Yue was greatly enraged by Gong Siming’s doing and claimed to settle it with them. In desperation, Si Wan had to blame herself and ask Yue to stay out of their private matter.
Yue sympathized with Si Wan who justified Gong Siming despite her grievances.
Due to the incident, Yue had to speed up the investigation of the Ever Sun in the distant Country C. Although Si Wan was a capable woman, she was too kind and soft-hearted. Those rats could easily fool or bully her.
This time Yue could clearly smell a rat because these events were too coincidental. Instinct told her something was wrong, but she couldn’t specify.
After the video chat, Si Wan took a deep breath and leaned back against the chair.
Now Gong Siming should be with Feng Ling, keeping her company and taking care of her.
He mentioned that she needed care, which pricked the wound in Si Wan’s heart. The wound, about to heal, was slit open again and smeared with honey. Countless ants were attracted to trample and gnaw at her…
The agony was unimaginable. Now she had nothing left and didn’t even have the right to cry in pain.
She had anticipated this but hadn’t expected the day to come so soon. When she just obtained tenderness and care from Gong Siming, she was about to lose them.
Sometimes, the loss was more painful than failing to get. If she couldn’t get it, the happiness would not prick her like thorns and remind her that it was no longer hers for the taking.
The more she wanted to forget, the more she was pulled into it. Now Si Wan didn’t even want to go back to Si’s house.
For fear of upsetting her grandpa, she had to stay in the same room with Gong Siming every night. The closer he drew to her, the more pain she felt.
In front of others, he would still hold her head and kiss her on the forehead. Without a choice, she had to silently endure the agony and pretend that she was happy!
Tired of the torment and affectation, Si Wan wanted to put an end to it but hated to push him away.
Outside the window, the moon hid behind the clouds, as if having a snooze. Standing motionlessly in front of the office window, Si Wan looked blankly into the deep sky.
Gong Siming stood downstairs outside his car. His tall figure looked lonely, and his eyes full of distress. When he watched the only room with the light on, a thin yet unyielding figure was reflected on the window.
For several days in a row, Gong Siming hadn’t seen Si Wan when he returned to Si’s house. She had been avoiding him.
To hide from him, she would rather stay at the company every day. For many nights, he would watch her from downstairs but didn’t dare to go up. He was afraid that she would disappear and go to a place beyond his reach. At least, he now knew her position and could see her from a distance.
Si Wan turned off the light and walked into the inner bedroom of the office.
For so many days, Gong Siming hadn’t come to see her. Why would he? Feng Ling should almost recover, and he didn’t need her anymore!
After a day’s hard work, Si Wan gradually drowned her sorrows in her deep sleep.
Without her notice, Gong Siming looked at her quietly in the dark and gently kissed her on the forehead.
“Wan, I’m sorry!” Gong Siming’s voice was even fainter than breathing.
When Si Wan woke up, she was all alone in the room. As usual, the breakfast was laid out on the desk of her office.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
She gave a faint smile and sighed inwardly with emotions. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu was so considerate that she ordered breakfast and brought it to her office every day.
It was a glimmer of warmth and hope in her darkest days. At least, she still had friends and family.
Getting the mental boost, Si Wan started eating her breakfast happily.
In the army through remote mobile surveillance, Gong Siming watched the cute woman and gave a faint, gentle smile.
Right after breakfast, Si Wan started her work. Only through hard work could she forget about all the annoyances and sadness.
Thanks to the publicity from Si Wan and the PR team, Yue made it to the Top 3 of the Global New Celebrities List. She was even promising to surpass international supermodels and get the first place.
It seemed Gong’s Group would not only sweep across the entertainment circle of the imperial capital but also spearhead a revolution in the international arena!
In terms of work, Si Wan was very confident that the Film and Television Division of Gong’s Group would gain international footing and enter the top 3 of the industry in three months.
Their priority was to enlarge the team. How did the recruitment go? Si Wan wondered and immediately called Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, how is the preparation of the Film and Television Division going?”
“Director, President Gong has put Deputy Director Liu in charge. Don’t you know?” Xiaoyu asked curiously.
A flicker of doubt flashed across Si Wan’s eyes. She had never heard it from Gong Siming that Liu Qing would be in charge. Besides, he had been handling relevant issues with her recently.
There should be something going on under the table. Si Wan wondered and said blandly, “Oh, I do. We just check on their progress.”
As the director, Si Wan definitely had the power. No matter who was in charge of the project now, she had the authority to preside over all business related to advertising, film and television, as well as PR.
The Film and Television Division was on the 22nd floor. Administration, training, and indoor photographing functions were all housed on this floor.
When they reached the very floor, all the employees were busy with their work in the office area. They were all new here and unfamiliar with Si Wan. Especially, she had been staying in her office recently, so they rarely saw her.
As a refined and graceful woman, Si Wan naturally attracted people’s attention.
Like a different person, Liu Qing enthusiastically introduced Si Wan to the staff.
“Everyone, may I have your attention? Come and meet our advertising director, Si Wan. She is also the junior mistress of Gong’s Group.”
Upon hearing Liu Qing’s introduction, everyone showed a hint of confusion but didn’t dare to say anything.
They were newcomers after all. How would they dare to offend their superior and owner of the company?
Si Wan clearly noticed their facial expressions and that Liu Qing acted out of the ordinary. Something must have been going on under the table.
Then, Liu Qing dismissed the meeting and led Si Wan to meet their newly discovered high-flyers.
As soon as they reached the door of the dance studio, Si Wan saw a familiar figure and instantly turned ghastly pale.
A woman stopped practicing, walked to Si Wan, and said proudly, “Long time no see, Si Wan.”
Si Wan did her best to maintain composure. At the sight of the stretched hand, she remained motionless.
It was FengLing! Why was she at the company?
