Chapter 31

I Miss You So Much

“Did he say what happened?” Gu Wencheng frowned.

“No,” Gu Wencheng signed his name on the last page of the document, then took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Let her in.”

“Alright,” Meng Nianyao walked out. An Xinya was at the door. The moment Meng Nianyao came out, she pushed the door open and went in.

Meng Nianyao was speechless.

Half an hour later, An Xinya came out of Gu Wencheng’s office with a sullen face. Meng Nianyao was taking notes of the morning meeting. An Xinya stopped beside her. Meng Nianyao looked up, and An Xinya sneered at her. She raised her hand and patted her desk before quickly leaving.

An Xinya had caused quite a commotion. Several people around her looked over and revealed gloating smiles. Meng Nianyao pretended not to see it and continued with her work.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Gu Wencheng and Ping Yang had gone out to discuss some matters and hadn’t returned yet. Meng Nianyao finished the last bit of work and turned off the computer to get off work.

While waiting for the elevator, her phone rang. It was Meng Haotian. Before Meng Nianyao could say anything, he said impatiently, “Nianyao, it’s me. I’ve been waiting for you to contact me, but you never contacted me… I missed you so much that I couldn’t take it anymore. That’s why I called you. Don’t be angry, okay?” He seemed to be afraid that Meng Nianyao would reject him, so he quickly asked, “Are you off work? I’m here to pick you up for dinner, okay?”

“You’re back in City B?” Meng Nianyao frowned.

“Yes,” Meng Haotian’s voice was gentle. “Nianyao, I miss you so much. Let’s meet.”

Meng Nianyao endured her disgust and was about to agree when she realized that Gu Wencheng had returned. He was standing not far behind her and looking at her expressionlessly.

Meng Nianyao was about to agree, but her words were stuck in her mouth. She felt embarrassed for some reason.

Meng Haotian waited for a while, but didn’t get a response. He said again, “Nianyao, are you listening?”

Meng Nianyao glanced at Gu Wencheng. Gu Wencheng walked past her, and she couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her phone.

“Nianyao?” Meng Haotian asked.

“Mmm, where are you? I’ll go find you.”

Hearing Meng Nianyao agree, Meng Haotian said with a smile, “I’m downstairs at the Gu Corporation. You’ll see me when you come out.”

“Yes,” Meng Nianyao responded and saw Gu Wencheng enter the elevator. After pressing the button for the basement floor, she hung up and waited for the elevator again.

Meng Haotian opened the door to a black BMW and parked it in front of the Gu Corporation. When he saw Meng Nianyao come out, he took out a bouquet of roses from the car and handed it to her.

Meng Nianyao didn’t take it and even took half a step back.

“What’s wrong?” Meng Haotian froze in the middle of handing the flowers. He felt a little embarrassed when there were so many people watching him after work.

“Meng Haotian,” Meng Nianyao said with a faint smile, “you don’t care about me. I’m allergic to roses. Don’t you know that?”

Meng Haotian was stunned. He took the roses back awkwardly and said, “Nianyao, I’m sorry, I…”

Meng Nianyao sneezed and took another step back. Meng Haotian could only throw the roses into the trash can. “Alright, it’s fine now.”

“Don’t come over.” “There’s pollen residue on your body,” Meng Nianyao stopped him.

Meng Haotian’s expression was a little gloomy. He was good-looking, rich, and had a lot of women around him. No woman had ever dared to talk to him like this and embarrass him.

Meng Haotian clenched his fists and suppressed his anger. He threw his coat into the car with a dark face and walked toward Meng Nianyao. “Is this good?”

Meng Nianyao didn’t stop him, but when Meng Haotian tried to hold her hand, she said, “Don’t touch me. There’s pollen on your hands and body.”

Meng Haotian paused. “Alright, I won’t touch you. I know I was wrong. Nianyao, don’t be angry.”

Meng Nianyao didn’t say anything. She covered her mouth and nose. If he didn’t know that she was allergic to pollen, Meng Haotian would have suspected that she hated him. He kept a distance from Meng Nianyao and coaxed, “Alright, baby, don’t be angry. I won’t make such a mistake again. Let’s go eat?”

Meng Nianyao nodded, and Meng Haotian heaved a sigh of relief. “Then get in the car.”

“I’ll take a taxi over.” Meng Nianyao opened her mouth. Seeing that Meng Haotian’s expression was about to collapse, she added, “I can’t sit in your car with flowers in it.”
