Master Duan’s Beloved Wife: A Lovely Spendthrift - Chapter 24

The intimacy between them had become an eye-catching scene for others. A pair of handsome man and beautiful woman always seemed to be the focus of everyone,

including Jin Moli, who was just dining with her friends not far away from them.

Since she was fired in public by Duan Weiqi and almost sent to prison, the anger in her chest had always been difficult to be appeased. All her misery was He Yueyu’s fault, that damn woman. Jin Moli had considered everything possible to revenge herself on that bitch, but to see He Yueyu being intimate with another man on this occasion was out of her expectation.

And the man beside her was Ling Xiaoran, the current president of that well-known Ling Group.

Duan Weiqi had said in public that He Yueyu was his girlfriend! Why was she paired with Ling Xiaoran here?

Jin Moli knew that He Yueyu was looked innocent on the surface, but in fact she was such a slut!

He Yueyu and Ling Xiaoran were a few meters away from Jin Moli, who contracted her pupils and looked at them laughing and joking. Sometimes, Ling Xiaoran would pinch her cheek with love.

Damn! Why all good men in the world were so fond of this woman?

An evil smile appeared on Jin Moli’s face for a second. She took a photo of He Yueyu and Ling Xiaoran with her mobile phone secretly. They looked really intimate in this photo. Then she found Duan Weiqi’s mobile phone number in the address list and pressed send without hesitation.

Duan Weiqi was waiting in the office for He Yueyu to have lunch together, while he saw a new message from Jin Moli.

He didn’t want to read it but there was a photo in the message.

When he enlarged the photo, his heart missed a beat immediately because he found there were only two people in this photo. One was He Yueyu, and the other was Ling Xiaoran, who was almost forgotten by him.

They sat next to each other closely, and he could feel the intimacy between them.

What exactly was going on? Why was Yueyu sitting together with Ling Xiaoran?

He frowned, and a strong feeling of jealousy was burning in his chest. He called Jin Moli at once, and heard that He Yueyu and Ling Xiaoran were having lunch in the Royal Court Hotel, which was owned by the Ling family.

He held the phone tightly, and could not get rid of the image of that photo in his mind. What was their relationship? Were they secret lovers? Or He Yueyu was just a liar who disguised herself with a pure look to cheat him from the very beginning?

In the end, he was driven crazy by the wild guesses and drove to the Royal Court Hotel as fast as he could. Jin Moli was gloating when she saw Duan Weiqi, and she strode to him in a hurry.

“Mr. Duan, why are you so late? I just saw your fiancée and Mr. Ling went to the room 1808 on the 18th floor. If my guess is correct, they are enjoying their wonderful… Mr. Duan… Mr… ”

Duan Weiqi could no longer listen to Jin Moli. He turned and went straight to the elevator. The anger in his chest almost devoured his soul like a blazing flame.

Only one word left in his mind.

BETRAYAL!

If He Yueyu dared to betray him, his anger might drove him into a ruthless demon.

When he arrived at the 18th floor, he found that the room 1808 was a Presidential Suite. From what he knew of Ling Xiaoran, this 1808 should be his special suite.

Although he and Ling Xiaoran graduated from the same university, they didn’t know each other well. They were just being fabulous in their own fields. After graduation, the only overlapping part between them was they were both the master of a large company. They had met in some business dinners, but still there was not much communication between them. If he could, Duan Weiqi would rather confront a stranger instead of Ling Xiaoran, a rival who was reminding him that a threat was always there.

He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell repeatedly. As long as he thought that He Yueyu and Ling Xiaoran might be doing things that he could not tolerate behind the door, he could not control his emotions.

A few moment later, the door was opened from the inside, and Ling Xiaoran, who had the same height as Duan Weiqi, was standing in front of him.

Ling Xiaoran wore a pure white bathrobe and his hair was wet with dripping drops.

The reason for him taking a shower was all He Yueyu’s fault, his silly sister.

At first, they were having lunch as usual, but when he asked about whether she had considered about what kind of person she would like to marry in the future, Yueyu suddenly turned so excited that she accidentally spilled the drink all over. Unfortunately, the only unlucky guy was Ling Xiaoran who was totally splashed by her drink.

As a result, he gave up his lunch and went back to the suite to take a shower. Well, the culprit, his clumsy sister, just waiting ten minutes in his suite, asked to leave for her own things.

However, when he just finished washing his hair, he heard someone keep ringing the doorbell. He thought it was Yueyu who turned back for something she left behind, but the person appeared in front of him was Duan Weiqi, his rival since his school age.

Two equally outstanding men standing face to face soon brought a sparkle of tension. Ling Xiaoran was wondering why Duan Weiqi showed up at his doorstep while Duan Weiqi tightened his brows after realizing the man before him was wearing a bathrobe. He could not help imaging there were something shady between his girl and Ling Xiaoran when he saw such a scene.

“Where is she?” He tried hard to control his impulse of punching him.

Ling Xiaoran looked at him calmly, “Who are you talking about?” He was a little confused about this situation. When had he offended this guy? He didn’t have any memory about it.

Ignoring his question, Duan Weiqi pushed Ling Xiao aside and rushed into the suite, but he did not find He Yueyu after looking for a while.

What? Why was she not here? Or was he getting wrong from the beginning?

“Hey, can you simply explain, who are you looking for?” Ling Xiaoran didn’t feel good when he found he was totally ignored by Duan Weiqi.

“SORRY!” He glanced at Ling Xiaoran coolly, “I think I get the wrong place, sorry!”

Duan Weiqi left the suite quickly before Ling Xiaoran could figure out what was going on.

Looking at the back of Duan Weiqi, Ling Xiaoran was lost in his thought. What’s going on? It seemed that things had become a little complicated.

*

Duan Weiqi did not want to judge He Yueyu’s behavior or personality easily.

He also forced himself not to convict Yueyu on the basis of a photo sent by Jin Moli. Moreover, today he had personally gone to the Royal Court Hotel, thinking he might catch them in bed… uh… he was not sure what he might catch them doing, actually.

But the result was not what he had expected. Yueyu was not there, maybe … everything was just a misunderstanding.

But even though nothing had happened, he couldn’t help but wonder the possible relationships between Ling Xiaoran and He Yueyu.

Duan Weiqi still could not figure out the background of He Yueyu. Maybe the Ling family wanted to keep their privacy, or Ling Xiaoran concealed everything from the public. He could find out nothing about He Yueyu but her major income in the past years was entirely from Ling family, according to the record of bank transfer.

The rest information about He Yueyu was still a secret.

He had thought about asking He Yueyu directly about her relationship with Ling Xiaoran in person, but he was afraid to know the truth, or he was more worried that he would be hurt by the answer if he asked.

When he rushed back to the office from the Royal Court Hotel at noon, he found that Yueyu had returned to the bank. Before they could have a conversation, she had to negotiate with the head of Shenzhen Far East Group about the contract they were going to sign.

He Yueyu never mentioned Ling Xiaoran with Duan Weiqi at work. When night fell, she stepped out of the bathroom and lay next to him with a smile.

“Weiqi, what are you thinking about?”

Dressed in black velvet pajamas, Duan Weiqi looked at her carefully and wrapped around her skinny shoulders with his arms. He tried to force out a charming smile, “Nothing, you finished?”

“Hmm!” She nodded and wiped her wet hair with a large white towel, “The water temperature is very good today. I want to relax for a longer time, but I’m afraid you’ll wait me too long and feel bored here, so I come out in advance. You know, recently I found a great body wash. My body smells really good after using it, so… ”

“Where did you go for leave this morning?”

He interrupt her chatter with such a question, which made He Yueyu froze slightly, “Didn’t I tell you? Aunt Mei was sick, I went to the hospital to see her…”

“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow coldly, “Is that Aunt Mei you always mentioned,  who loves you so much?”

“Yep!” She nodded innocently, “But she was sleeping when I arrived there, so I didn’t disturb her. If I can have a break this week, I decide to take you to see Aunt Mei. I like you, so I believe that Aunt Mei will also like you …

When He Yueyu thought of the scene that she brought her beloved man to meet her family, her heart was filled with both hope and fear. On the one hand, she was afraid that her three brothers would scold her for what she had done. On the other hand, she yearned for getting married with Duan Weiqi as soon as possible.

“Then what did you do after visiting your Aunt Mei?” Finally, he couldn’t help asking the questions in his heart.

“Umm … this is a long story. Today I wanted to visit Aunt Mei secretly, but I ran across my elder brother in the ward. You didn’t know how overbearing he was! He dragged me out of the hospital toughly and my arm still felt painful… ”

Elder brother?

She used brother to fool me again!

Duan Weiqi looked at her little mouth impatiently. Again and again, this woman said too many easily-exposed lies before him. Why did she do that?

“Speaking of my elder brother, I can’t give a complete portrayal of him with limited words…”

“Enough!”

Duan Weiqi, who couldn’t take this anymore, suddenly shouted to stop her with a cold face. He Yueyu was startled by his behavior.

“Weiqi?” She looked at him in confusion, and stopped wiping her wet hair gradually, “What happened to you?”

He glanced at her coldly, and forced a smile, “Nothing, I just feel tired. Time to sleep. Tomorrow is also a busy day.”

Then, he turned around and closed his eye to sleep, leaving no more chance for her to speak again.

He Yueyu felt a little bit sad because he had never treated her with this attitude . What was wrong with him today?

Maybe, he was really tired.

“Okay, good night!” She pouted aggrievedly. She knew a career-oriented man had to work under great pressure, even turning emotional sometimes. She would be a considerate and caring girl, so she would not blame him this time.

The next day, they came to the bank as usual, but even as insensitive as He Yueyu, she felt that there was something wrong with Duan Weiqi.

He kept a stony face all morning, as if he was dissatisfied with anything, but she could not tell why he was acting like this. Even she had racked her brains for reasons, no answer coming to her mind.

“Miss He …”

At this moment, Feng Yu took a document and handed it to her. “This is the original contract that our bank and Ling Group will sign soon. Please print out five copies as soon as possible and send it to Mr. Duan’s office. ”

“Ling Group?” She took the file at once, “Okay, I see.”

After confirming Feng Yu had left, she quickly opened the file and checked details on it. The Ling Group was indeed her family’s company. She didn’t know Ling Group had cooperation with Jinfeng Bank, which really surprised her.
