Chapter 194 Lose Control (1/2)

Gu Luan open the drawer. He takes out a box of cigarette, which he has put there for a long time. He takes out a cigarette and lights it. However, he doesn’t smoke it at once.

Why does he feel so painful?

What he did is to make Xia Ning leave Yi Yunrui. Why when he sees her turn pale, he feels his heart aching and he has the desire to give himself some slaps?

The feeling…is abnormal.

At the time, he hears some rhythmed knocks at the door. Wan Liqing is asking, “Director, may I come in?”

“Come in.” Gu Luan responds. He puts the cigarette in the ashtray.

Wan Liqing opens the door and walks in. She wears a fit uniform and looks very capable and concise.

Wan Liqing is going to speak, when she smells the smoke in the office. She can’t help frowning. She looks around for the smoke and stares at the ashtray.

Does she make a mistake? Does Gu Luan smoke?

Aware of the surprise in Wan Liqing’s eyes, Gu Luan smiles, “I don’t smoke. I just look at it.”

Wan Liqing pauses for a while and she collects herself, “Do you?”

Even if he doesn’t smoke, it is weird to see him have a lit cigarette!

Gu Luan slightly holds out his hand, “Director Wan, sit down, please.”

Wan Liqing mildly twitches her lips and nods. She sits down in front of Gu Luan.

From when did Gu Luan begin to treat her so officially? Every time, when she hears the formal greetings from him, she feels her heart aching.

Wan Liqing sees the empty coffee cup in front of Gu Luan. She asks, “Director, do you want me to make some coffee for you?”

Gu Luan pushes the coffee cup forwards, “I have had enough for today. Director Wan, what are you coming here for?”

Wan Liqing gives a sigh in her heart, “Luan, can’t we not be so official in private?”

Gu Luan slightly pauses, “OK. I will try.”

Wan Liqing curls her lips. She lightly clenches her fists. He will only try?

Gu Luan can definitely do it.

He can’t have a sudden change? Or, he is not willing to change?

“Well. I saw Director Xia leave just now. She doesn’t look well. So, I want to check on you. Director, you lit the cigarette. Did anything happen?”

Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “Director Wan, thank you for your concern. Nothing happened.”

Gu Luan responds briefly and shortly. He is obviously unwilling to have her interfere. Wan Liqing feels a little embarrassed. She smiles, “Luan, please don’t blame me for asking too much. I have known you for so long a time. No matter as a colleague in the company or a friend, I am concerned with you. I don’t have other meanings.”

Gu Luan looks at her with his deep eyes. Then, he slightly lifts his lips, “I know you are concerned with me. Thank you. But again, I am fine. Ning is fine, too. Is that clear?”

Wan Liqing feels her heart stuck. What Gu Luan says sounds kind, while in fact, it keeps her away from him. She bursts into anger, “Luan, what do you mean? Do you want to keep a distance from me? If you really don’t want me to show up in front of you, you may tell me frankly! Do you know the way you speak to me is very hurtful?”

Gu Luan pauses. He takes a breath. He strokes his forehead with his long fingers, “Is it? Maybe my emotion is not stable today. I am sorry.”

Not knowing why, as long as it is about Xia Ning, he tends to be unexplainably irritable.

Maybe, this emotion is visible on him, while he himself is not aware of it.

If it is true, that is…risky.

“Luan, do you really like Xia Ning?” Though Wan Liqing tries hard to deny this fact in her heart and she knows that Gu Luan doesn’t like the question, she can’t control herself. She can’t control her jealousy!

Gu Luan frowns, “Director Wan, do you know what you are asking?”

“Surely I do!” Wan Liqing grits her teeth. Anyway, she has spoken out the question. She will continue, “I am quite worried about you. You care about Xia Ning. Almost all the people in the company are guessing about that. Luan, what do you want to do? Xia Ning is married.”

Gu Luan slightly clenches his fists. He is furious inside, but he tries hard to restrain himself from losing control, “Director Wan, do you come here today to remind me or to warn me?”

“No, I don’t.” Wan Liqing is sad about Gu Luan’s misunderstanding. Tears blur her eyes. She says, “I just hope that you know what you are doing now. In the past, I was reckless and didn’t cherish what I had. I have learned my lessons. I am now in front of you. If you still can’t forgive me, you may vent your anger to me! Don’t torment yourself with other people! You want to torture yourself with an impossible relation. Are you doing this to enrage me, or…”

“Is this torment? Is this torture?” Wan Liqing’s last words are just like blasting fuses. They light the anger inside Gu Luan, “Wan Liqing, please collect your self-righteousness. Let me tell you clearly now. From the beginning to the end, I have never loved you at all! Is that clear enough?”

Wan Liqing is shocked blankly. She can’t believe it. She is frozen…

“What…what did you say?” After quite a while, Wan Liqing collects herself. Her brain is full of the scenes of her being with Gu Luan. Comparing that with what he said, she feels herself at the edge of collapse at the moment!

Never loved her at all?

Then, what did those…happened in the past mean?

“I…” In Wan Liqing’s eyes, Gu Luan sees himself, who loses control and looks like an animal. In an instant, Gu Luan finds his brain blank!
