Chapter 188

188. You still can’t forget her?“Uncle, please slow down~”

On the road, Su Zeheng quickly walked towards the car.

Behind him, Wen Han wore a warm furry coat, underneath which were flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of flat shoes.

She quickly caught up, her short hair bobbing up and down.

Finally catching up, Wen Han sighed, “Uncle, can’t you be a little gentler with me?”

Beep beep!

“Get in the car.” Su Zeheng opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.

Wen Han stood outside the window, speechless, and glanced at him, “Uncle…”

“Mark one day of absence.”

With a swoosh, the car disappeared without any warning as soon as he finished speaking.

Wen Han was momentarily frozen in place, her mouth agape.

After a moment, she couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, “Good for you, Su Zeheng, your wings have grown strong now?”

She rolled her eyes, looked around, and sat on a nearby seat.

I don’t believe you will really leave and not come back.

The more he hates me, the greater the damage I’ve caused him.

Wen Han was confident that Su Zeheng still couldn’t forget her; otherwise, how could he remember where her home was so clearly? After all, he hadn’t been there many times.

“Uncle, let’s make a bet.”

Crossing her legs, Wen Han crossed her arms and smiled.

“I bet you… will definitely come looking for me.”

…

Two hours later.

“…”

Her eyebrows gradually furrowed, and after a long wait, the short-haired girl finally turned her eyes.

“… Impossible, does he really no longer like me?”

Wen Han didn’t believe it, and the witch’s self-confidence made it impossible for her to believe someone could escape from her control.

Logically, Su Zeheng should hate her, but it’s a mix of love and hate.

She silently looked at her watch and took a deep breath.

Could it be that his hatred for me has surpassed his love?

“So, you hate me this much?”

Laughing sarcastically, Wen Han finally reluctantly nodded her head.

The witch’s competitive spirit made her resentful. Seeing a man who once played in her palm now indifferent, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

“Alright! Let’s bet again. I bet you will fall into the same trap!”

After loving someone, even if you part ways, it’s easy to fall in love again, especially when there are too many regrets and grievances left behind.

You hate me, right?

Uncle, the more you hate me now, the more I’ll make you realize how much you love me!

You won’t come?

Fine! Then I’ll continue waiting here in the cold wind, hoping to get sick. Remember to feel sorry for me when it happens.

Silently, Wen Han took off her coat, leaving only a thin flesh-colored sweater on.

Star River City’s winter was bitterly cold, with gusts of wind blowing through, tousling her short hair.

Bored, she sat there quietly, waiting for a turning point.

…

“Achoo!”

When Wen Han kept sneezing and felt weak all over, she realized she had caught a cold.

This seemed to be a matter of course.

Since Little Yuan wasn’t at home, she returned alone, feeling the fatigue of illness.

She didn’t go see a doctor or do anything to treat her cold.

Even when she got home, Wen Han didn’t use a blanket or ice pack, enduring dizziness while standing on the balcony, continuing to blow cold air.

She wanted to get really sick!

Only when she was truly too sick to support herself or control herself could her acting be flawless.

After all, even she couldn’t find any loopholes then, how could others spot them?

The biting cold wind continued to hit her face.

Wen Han wiped her nose, reaching out to touch her forehead.

“It’s so hot…”

She nodded dizzily, though her face carried an evil smile.

Maybe, just like Fat Brother said.

I am indeed ruthless, not just to others, but to myself too!

As night fell and her body started to ache, Wen Han went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

The ice water that had been frozen for the afternoon instantly poured down her head, causing her to shiver uncontrollably and gasp for air.

“If I don’t get a fever of 40 degrees, how can I perform in front of you?”

Wiping the water from her face, Wen Han shivered back to her room.

She finally lay weakly on the bed, falling asleep dazedly by herself.

Next… all she needed was to wait for someone to discover her!

…

Night. Light Magic Society.

Creak, the car stopped downstairs.

Su Zeheng quickly went upstairs and frowned upon seeing something, “She didn’t come to work?”

“She?” A Long, who had just learned to handle office tasks, immediately looked up, “Captain… oh no! Comrade Su! Who is she?”

Su Zeheng didn’t respond.

Fat Brother smiled slightly and came over appropriately, “You’re talking about Wen Han, right?”

“Mm.” Su Zeheng’s expression was icy, “Taking a day off on the first day of work, it seems the headquarters’ year-long purification efforts have been effective.”

“When did you start being sarcastic?” Fat Brother smiled.

But seeing Su Zeheng’s serious expression, he stopped smiling and pursed his lips, “I thought she was with you.”

“…”

Silently looking at the old colleague, Su Zeheng closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Fat Brother glanced at the others and suddenly put his arm around him, “Let’s go outside and smoke a cigarette.”

The two walked in silence down the empty corridor, and the door behind them closed.

Fat Brother handed him a cigarette, “Still can’t forget her?”

Su Zeheng lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, “It’s all in the past.”

“Okay.” Fat Brother nodded, “If you don’t want to see her… maybe you could discuss with headquarters about transferring her elsewhere.”

Su Zeheng didn’t speak, only taking one drag after another.

After finishing, he took out another cigarette from his pocket.

“Your smoking habit is getting worse?” Fat Brother frowned, “It’s bad for your health, brother.”

Su Zeheng smiled faintly but didn’t stop lighting up.

“You can tell me if you have anything on your mind.” Fat Brother sighed, “We’re the last two of our old group now.”

“…”

“Give her a call.”

“Huh?” This sudden turn made Fat Brother pause, “Who?”

Su Zeheng gave him a cold look.

Fat Brother instantly understood and grinned, “Wen Han?”

“Tell her, mark one day of absence. If she’s late again tomorrow, she doesn’t need to come.”

“Why don’t you call her?”

“I have my own things to do.”

“Old Su.” Fat Brother hesitated, “You…”

“I’ve already forgotten,” Su Zeheng said.

“…”

“But I haven’t asked you yet.”

The corridor suddenly fell into a brief silence.

After a moment, Su Zeheng’s frozen hand once again put the cigarette to his mouth.

“Let’s meet up for a drink tonight. I’ll contact you then.”

He turned and left immediately.

Fat Brother immediately looked over, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

…

Ding… ding… ding…

Outside, it was pitch black, and inside, it was equally dark since no lights were on.

The phone had vibrated countless times, and Wen Han finally opened her eyes drowsily.

“Sigh…”

She felt dizzy, her body hot, and achy all over.

The moment she woke up, Wen Han realized she had a severe fever.

But this was exactly what she intended!

“Fat Brother?” She looked at the screen number, exhausted and smiling sardonically, “Su Zeheng, I don’t believe you won’t care!”
