Master Duan’s Beloved Wife: A Lovely Spendthrift - Chapter 8

“Compared to my real loss, I have gone easy on you.” Duan Weiqi found himself addicted to the fun of bickering with her.

“Hey, is this laptop really important for you?” Though obstinate sometimes, He Yueyu was not unreasonable.

Her three brothers would always bring their laptops home from work, in which some important data seemed to be stored. Maybe it was same of Duan Weiqi. When she realized the immediate cause of his loss was just that spilled coffee, He Yueyu feared that Duan Weiqi might burst into anger and she never knew what was in store for her.

Seeing remorse on her face, Duan Weiqi shrugged with a smile. “Of course, my laptop is very vital for my business, but… since you got hurt as well, we can write it off this time.”

After all, he had backed up most data in a memory card.

He carried He Yueyu in his arms. “All right, your knees needed medical treatment first. I’ll help you.”

He Yueyu had a tremor in her chest when he carried her softly. She could feel her heart skip a beat just because of his warm temperature.

He took her to his bedroom directly and placed her on his bed. When he lifted the edge of her dress, he found bruises on her both knees. “Does it really hurt?” He asked quietly.

He Yueyu shook her head subconsciously first and then nodded vigorously, “Of course it hurts.” If she said it was all right, maybe she had to compensate him for the loss once again. Gosh, she had owed him too much debt to pay off.

He didn’t expose her petty niggling though he had read her mind. He just picked an ointment from the medical kit and applied the cool cream on her knees.

She loved the warm and protecting feeling brought by Duan Weiqi, which left a deep impression on her. Even in her dreams, she would still dream of his good-looking face and gentle smile. She woke up suddenly when the hands of the clock on the wall pointed to three in the morning.

Undoubtedly, she broke his laptop, but instead of blaming her, he even helped her to apply the ointment. He Yueyu thought that Duan Weiqi was really a good person so she wanted to do something to repay his kindness.

Under the dead of night, she tiptoed to his study, and found the laptop was still there in a terrible condition.

Ok! Since it was all her fault, she should be the one responsible for it. Therefore, she decided to fix the laptop secretly when he was sleeping.

When Duan Weiqi came to his study the next morning, what he saw was a girl with disheveled hair sitting in front of a pile of laptop parts.

Soon he knew things were not good. “What are you doing?” He strode to the desk and his gaze sharpened.

He Yueyu was startled by the sudden sound. She held the optical disc drive in her left hand and pinched the power supply in her right hand. “I… I’m repairing your laptop, but it’s strange! Why can’t I assemble these parts together? I remember when I was young, a television in my family broken down. After I took it apart and reassembled, it could be watched at once, but …”

Before she finished her words, Duan Weiqi looked pale and began to look around on his desk.

“What are you looking for?”

“Memory card!”

“Eh? What’s that?”

“Just a thing plugged into this laptop!” His tone became a little harsh. He searched for a long time but found nothing. His eyebrows knitted. “Who let you come into my study?”

“I…” She was frightened by his fierce look, “I just want to…”

“Get out!” He yelled with a sour look on his face. “From now on, don’t step into my study without my permission.”

Spoiled by her family since childhood, He Yueyu never suffered this harsh attitude. Their relationship was getting better yesterday. How could he treat her in such a scary way just because she disassembled a laptop?

She felt a sharp pain in her chest and tears welled up in her eyes. Pouting plaintively, she glanced at him and then walked out of his study with an aggrieved face.

As soon as she was out, she heard him calling someone on the phone. Soon a helpless voice came to her ears…

“Feng Yu, inform all the departments immediately. I want to delay the meeting today. Yes! Something came up at home. The files assembled yesterday were destroyed and the memory card I used for backup was gone. The computer in my office didn’t sync back-up in time… I know, um, you’d better help me collect data and organize figures into a file again, ASAP, and that’s it… ”

He Yueyu, who was eavesdropping at the door, finally realized that she really brought a big trouble to Duan Weiqi, and she knew why he ignored her all morning with a cold face, which made her feel lousy and hurting.

Duan Weiqi hurriedly left the house without even having breakfast after the call in his study.

Left at home alone, He Yueyu was sad and guilty. She sneaked back to his study to figure out the model of his laptop because she thought the only remedy was to buy him another one for compensation.

Huh? What was that black stuff at the corner of his desk? She wondered.

*

He Yueyu looked up at the towering skyscraper in front of her.

Was this place where Duan Weiqi worked now?

This architecture was so tall and spectacular! Of course, Jinfeng Bank was not unfamiliar to her, because she had many cards from Jinfeng Bank in her purse.

She didn’t know much about business, but her family had three business elites. More or less, she had heard of the name of Jinfeng Bank.

What surprised her was that Duan Weiqi turned out to be the chief executive of this large multinational bank.

She murmured silently, and then remembered her purpose of coming here. The reason why Duan Weiqi was so angry was all for this memory card, which she threw on the ground carelessly when she took the laptop apart.

Fortunately, she discovered in time. Better late than never.

In order to make up her mistake, Miss He personally came to the headquarters of Jinfeng Bank to hand over the memory card to Duan Weiqi.

Well, when he saw this memory card, perhaps he might give her heartfelt thanks.

Huh! Why did she want his praise? He gave her that stony face all morning just for this small and worn memory card, and fiercely ordered her not to step into his study, clearly treating her as a troublemaker.

She must improve her image in his mind!

When she got to the reception, a woman standing there asked politely, “May I help you, Miss?”

He Yueyu answered, “I want to meet Duan Weiqi, the person in charge of your bank. Can you tell me which floor he is working on now?”

The woman looked her up and down, “Do you have an appointment with President Duan in advance?”

“Uh…” He Yueyu smiled awkwardly, “Unfortunately I don’t.”

“Sorry, if there is no appointment, I’m afraid you cannot meet him immediately.”

“Well, I know I should make an appointment in advance, but I have something very urgent to tell your president. This matters the future of your bank, same for your future right? So I …”

“What’s going on?” As He Yueyu tried to explain further, a magnetic female voice came behind her.

She looked back and saw a tall and beautiful young woman in front of her, who held a stack of heavy documents in her arm, with a neat professional suit on her slim body, showing a quite different temperament and style.

The receptionist responded in a respectful tone, “Secretary Jin, this lady just said that she wanted to see president for a very important matter, but she did not make an appointment before…”

The woman called Secretary Jin looked her up and down, especially for the exorbitant outfit that He Yueyu was wearing. “Who are you? What is your relationship with our president?”

He Yueyu frowned at her haughty tone, “Uh… it’s a long story about the relationship between your president and me. I do not have time to explain it now. I just need to see your boss as soon as possible, and I…”
