He Is Warmer Than Time

Chapter 50: Ulterior Motive
Supervisor Li found it amusing as she grabbed Song Ran’s hand. “You little girl, are just too fragile. How hot can it be? Besides, I don’t feel that it’s safe for you to go home when the sky is dark. You’re working for me. I will be responsible if anything happens to you.”
Song Ran reached out to push the door. “Supervisor Li, do you need to do this? My house is not far from here. Worse comes to worst, I can always get my dad or my sister to fetch me. Oh no, I think it’s too hot. I’m going to suffocate.”
Gu Jinghang was on tenterhooks.
Supervisor Li paled as her facial muscle twitched. “Tsk, you lass. Why are you so disobedient?”
Just then, a ticketing staff walked over, asking Supervisor Li to double-check that day’s ticketing sales. As though seeing a life savior, Supervisor Li got that staff to drag Song Ran away while she stormed back into her office and picked up the umbrella off her desk. She turned back and peered at Gu Jinghang, who did not dare to move an inch while hiding behind the door. Supervisor Li nodded at him, indicating he should stay in his position.
Song Ran, who was outside the door, looked at the ticketing staff and the door in the darkness. “Look at your stingy Supervisor Li. She must be afraid that I’ll waste the electricity in your park. Oh my.”
Supervisor Li quickly walked out of the office with the umbrella. She passed it to Song Ran and pushed her out. “Go home now. Young people shouldn’t be staying out at such a late hour. Understand?”
Supervisor Li pushed Song Ran out to the park entrance and into a cab. Song Ran’s eyes went dim. Is Supervisor Li hiding something in that room? There must be something fishy going on.
As soon as Supervisor Li sent Song Ran off in the car, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She went back and released Gu Jinghang. He did not dare to stay any longer, so he quickly exited the park and boarded the bus. He knew that he reeked, so he stood close to the door all the way to Songshan County.
Back at the institute, Wen Huihui stood at the entrance for quite some time. She was surprised that Gu Jinghang was not in again. The frequency of taking leave was too high. Could this affect his image in the eyes of their section chief?
It seemed like they would have an appraisal in the coming spring. If this goes on, would it affect his career?
Even though they have 24 days of leave, wouldn’t it make a stark contrast if he never takes leaves at all?
Wen Huihui waited anxiously for Gu Jinghang’s arrival. She must see him and tell him about Song Ran’s situation and how her family views him as a poor fellow from the countryside.
As the sky turned dark, Gu Jinghang hopped off the bus and headed to the entrance, feeling great today. But as soon as he spotted Wen Huihui, who was waiting at the entrance, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Gu Jinghang wanted to ignore her and walk straight in. But to his surprise, Wen Huihui grabbed his wrist and called his name. “Jinghang.”
Gu Jinghang shook off her grasp with obvious disgust in his eyes. “First, you can call me Gu Jinghang, or Team Leader Gu. Second, please don’t touch me.”
Only Ran can touch his hands. What was she thinking? How could she make a move on him when he was her bestie’s boyfriend?
Wen Huihui looked a little embarrassed. She said with some unwillingness, “Fine, Team Leader Gu. Do you know Ran cheated on you?”
It was to Wen Huihui’s understanding that Song Ran would never tell Gu Jinghang that her family had arranged a blind marriage for her. So Wen Huihui intended to make full use of this matter to drive a wedge between them.
