Master Duan’s Beloved Wife: A Lovely Spendthrift - Chapter 25

Translator: Flying Lines

Duan Weiqi could no longer control his emotions. With the old scores plus new hatred, he rushed up to Ling Xiaoran and threw a hard punch on his face. Ling Xiaoran felt a sharp harsh pain in his mouth immediately.

“Obviously you didn’t figure out your position. He Yueyu is my girl now!”

Ling Xiaoran was shocked by his punch, but when he heard Duan Weiqi’s words, he stared at him fiercely at once, “What do you mean? Say it again, I dare you!”

“It seems your hearing needs to be examined by your doctor again. I said, He Yueyu was my girl now…”

He grabbed Ling Xiaoran’s collar with fury, “Keep away from her! Now!”

“Stop! Stop it!”

He Yueyu finally came to her senses from the scary of the scene before her.

She ran to them and grabbed Duan Weiqi’s arm and tugged, “Let go, let go! Why do you hit him? Are you crazy?”

Her elder brother who loved her the most was beaten up by Duan Weiqi, and the corner of her brother’s mouth was even bleeding. She was afraid of blood since she was a kid.

“Xiaoran!”

She held his arm nervously, “Are you Okay? Is it very painful?”

Duan Weiqi never thought she would be so concerned about Ling Xiaoran, his jealousy and anger tortured Duan Weiqi, “Yueyu, you should blame me for him?”

“Don’t you think you should introspect your own behavior first?”

She glared at him with irritation, “What did Xiaoran do that offended you? Why did you treat him in such a brutal way?”

Giving him an angry glance, He Yueyu turned around and hugged Ling Xiaoran with a worried face, “Xiaoran, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I didn’t know he will treat you like this …”

Duan Weiqi could feel his blood was boiling when he found that she showed great concerns about his rival. This silly woman!

And Ling Xiaoran, who was brutally punched, seemed to recognize the conversation between her sister and Duan Weiqi was a little odd. Smart as he was, he knew that there was definitely something unusual between them.

He knew that here didn’t seem to be the best place to reveal everything. Soon, a flash of wit occurred to his mind. He pretended to be weak and said, “Yueyu, I just felt a little dizzy. Could you take me to the hospital for a medical check?” He tried to win the sympathy from his sister.

“What? You feel dizzy? God! Is it serious? Are you Okay?”

“I don’t know, I just feel dizzy and things are blurred before me…” Then, he also gave Duan Weiqi a defiant glance deliberately.

“Okay, Okay, let’s go to the hospital at once …”

“Don’t go!”

How could Ling Xiaoran’s acting escape from Duan Weiqi’s eyes? He blocked between them, and looked at He Yueyu with eyes which couldn’t be colder, “I won’t let you go!”

“Hey, show some sympathy, okay?” He Yueyu worried about her brother so much that she felt Duan Weiqi was extremely unreasonable today, “If you have anything to say, just wait until I come back, Okay? Please get out of the way…”

He stared at her distantly, “So, between Ling Xiaoran and me, your final choice is him?”

“What is the final choice? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” She was confused by his words, “My Xiaoran bro…”

“What? Your Xiaoran … It seems that you and him have started a family…”

“We are a family…” He Yueyu really didn’t know what happened to Duan Weiqi.

“Good! Very good!”

After hearing she admitted that she and Ling Xiaoran were family, Duan Weiqi suddenly felt he was as ridiculous as a clown. In order to win her favor, he did countless stupid things, but in the end, his position in her heart was less important than that injured Ling Xiaoran.

“If this is your choice, then I have nothing to say!” Duan Weiqi turned and left the place coolly.

Looking at his solitary figure, He Yueyu still didn’t get what was going on. She cried with his name, “Duan Weiqi, what’s the matter with you?? What did you mean?

“We broke up!”

He didn’t look back, but just left these three words coldly.

He Yueyu was left there with endless shock and perplexity.

Broke up? Broke up? He said he wanted to break up with me?

Damn it! This silly man should break up with her? Did she do something wrong?

Jinfeng Bank had been shrouded in panic. Last few days, no one dared to get close to president’s office in 50 meters unless they had extremely urgent things to report. There was no exception in the bank now.

Everyone knew that Mr. Duan’s temper would chop and change like a Transformer since a few days ago. The former dignified president turned into a violent tiger overnight.

These days, as long as he was a Jinfeng employee, even if he had done everything well, Duan Weiqi would get down to nitpicking and give a harshly scold, let alone those people who had some mistakes in their work.

One of the saddest was President Assistant Feng Yu. Others could hide far away from Duan Weiqi, but only he couldn’t. In these couple days, he had to endure the full blast of a furious volcano and once he even wanted to jump off the building and committed suicide.

Although he was really unwilling to meet Duan Weiqi, he still had to enter his office gingerly and said softly, “Mr. Duan, the president of Ling Group is now waiting in the conference room on the 46th floor to sign a contract with you. The contract is here. I have prepared it for you.”

Then, he handed in a file folder.

Ling Group’s president? The murderous look appeared on Duan Weiqi’s face when he heard the name of Ling Group. He squinted his eyes and wondered how come Ling Xiaoran still had the courage to come here for the contract.

In school days, they were rivals on the campus, and now they were irreconcilable enemies.

He didn’t want to mix his private feelings into business, but as long as he thought of Ling Xiaoran, he couldn’t control himself to think about He Yueyu.

That day, when he said the word “breakup” on his own, his heart hurt more than anyone else.

He thought it was just a nightmare, but after waking up, the shadow of it still existed. Yueyu had left! There was nothing left between him and her.

But… was breakup his true willing?

He had always owned a one-track mind on the romantic relationship. Once he loved a girl, there was no reason for him to give up easily.

“Mr. Duan? Mr. Duan? Do you need me to postpone the appointment with Mr. Ling?” Feng Yu observed his facial expression carefully.

“No!” He glanced over the contract and stood up from his seat.

In his world, business and private affairs were clearly separated, and he would not let Ling Xiaoran think that he was an idiot who would be trapped in love.

Five minutes later, he walked into the conference room and saw Ling Xiaoran sitting at the conference table leisurely. On his chin, a bruise was still there proved he was hit by him that day.

He glanced at Ling Xiaoran, and then sat down in front of him with a contract in his hand. He handed it to him and said calmly, “Mr. Ling, this is a formal contract printed according to the draft we negotiated last time. Please have a look, if it’s acceptable, we can sign the contract now.”

Ling Xiaoran took the contract and looked at Duan Weiqi with a mocking smile. With unruly medium-long hair on his head, Duan Weiqi’s face was pale with dark circles under his eyes, and his beard clearly had not been shaved for many days. His suit was crumpled with an unfastened tie to his neck, which made him looked neither vigorous nor graceful.

He raised a slight smile, “Mr. Duan, I just want to say, though work is important, rest is also necessary. Don’t let work wear you down.”

He already knew what had happened between his little sister and this man. Although he was angry that Duan Weiqi asked his baby sister to be his maid and assistant, after a detailed investigation, he found that during the time his sister was with him, she was not bullied, but received greatest care from Duan Weiqi. He even fired Jin Moli, the daughter of Jinfeng’s major shareholder for his sister.

They were rivals in university and did not like each other well, but it did not affect his acceptance of Duan Weiqi as his sister-in-law.

Especially when he thought Duan Weiqi would call himself elder brother with respect when he became his sister-in-law, he was very excited with laugh in his mind.

But before he explained everything clearly, he had to torture this guy first, because Duan Weiqi never showed any weakness in front of him.

Duan Weiqi replied in a distant tone, “Appreciate your care, Mr. Ling.”

Ling Xiaoran shrugged and then began to read the contract carefully. After finishing, he left the contract to the legal adviser who came with him.
