When Shi Jue reached Xia Weiyang's office, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
As he approached her, his footsteps became lighter.
"Xia Weiyang, it's getting late. You should go home and rest," Liang Li said as she packed her things. "Your health is more important."
"Don't worry, I'll leave soon. You don't have to come to the office tomorrow morning. You can work in the afternoon so you can rest," Xia Weiyang said without raising her head.
"Thank you, Xia Weiyang." Liang Li's small face was full of joy. "By the way, is it true that you were taught by Shi Nanqing?"
"Yes," Xia Weiyang said as she gently nodded.
"Ah!" Liang Li exclaimed happily. "I admire her so much. Xia Weiyang, can you help me get an autograph from Shi Nanqing?"
Xia Weiyang nodded helplessly.
After getting the answer she wanted, Liang Li hugged Xia Weiyang. Then, Xia Weiyang hummed a song as she packed away her things.
After he saw Liang Li walked out of the office, Shi Jue hid in the dark. He only appeared after Liang Li had left.
He could not believe what he heard.
He heard the two women talking about Shi Nanqing.
Suddenly, Shi Jue remembered what Mo Yi told him the other day. During the banquet, Mo Yi heard the security guards saying that Xia Weiyang knew Shi Nanqing.
Shi Jue then realized that he misunderstood Xia Weiyang on the night of the banquet.
She had attended the banquet with Shi Nanqing.
Shi Jue could not help but feel annoyed at himself.
It was obvious that he was wrong. Although he wanted him to apologize, he could not do it.
Shi Jue's face looked visibly conflicted as he slowly and gently approached Xia Weiyang.
As for Xia Weiyang, she sat quietly in front of her work. She was finishing up her embroidery. In Shi Jue's eyes, Xia Weiyang looked like she was dancing.
Shi Jue saw that Xia Weiyang's face looked a bit pale. He could also see the cracked dry skin on her lips.
The longer he looked at her, the angrier he became.
'D*mn it, woman! How old are you? You're already an *****, but you still don't know how to take care of yourself properly!' Shi Jue thought to himself.
Shi Jue pushed open the glass door and walked in with a dark expression on his face.
"Liang Li, I thought you left already? Did you forget something?" Xia Weiyang thought that it was her colleague who opened the door. However, when she raised her head, her eyes met Shi Jue's angry gaze.
Shi Jue's sudden appearance surprised Xia Weiyang. She lost her focus for a moment and accidentally pricked her finger with the embroidery needle.
A drop of bright red blood appeared on her fair finger.
"Why are you here?" Xia Weiyang asked.
"I also want to know why I'm here." Shi Jue responded in a low voice.
"What did you say?'' Xia Weiyang asked with a frown on her face.
Shi Jue did not answer Xia Weiyang. Instead, he stared deeply into her eyes. He wanted to apologize, but he couldn't say anything.
It was an inexplicable moment for Shi Jue.
Xia Weiyang turned away from Shi Jue. She sucked the blood from her finger and continued to work.
Suddenly, Shi Jue approached Xia Weiyang.
He grabbed her and pulled her up from her seat.
"Shi Jue, what are you doing?" Xia Weiyang said as she struggled in his arms.
Xia Weiyang felt dizzy because of the sudden movement. If Shi Jue wasn't holding her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
She realized that the reason why she got dizzy was because she had been sitting all day due to her work.
It seemed she had been working too long.
"Xia Weiyang, if you can't take good care of yourself, how can you take care of a child? I should take the child away," Shi Jue said.
