Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Provocation

Even though it was already pitch black outside, He Xing didn’t leave, so Liang Tao also sat down at his own desk, turned on his computer, and started working.

While waiting for the computer to boot up, he checked his phone’s Moments and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Boss He, take a look at Moments quickly, Lady Bai Wei just posted."

Although He Xing’s brows were deeply furrowed, he still quickly turned on his mobile phone, and indeed, as Liang Tao had said, Bai Wei had updated her Moments with three posts at once, totaling twenty-seven pictures.

There were photos of Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe together, scenic photos, pictures of them skiing, and also photos of Fu Han, Su Cheng, Ji Liangchuan, and others.

Although Liang Tao was a few meters away from He Xing, he still clearly saw the veins on He Xing’s forehead bulging with rage.

But actually, it wasn’t just the veins on He Xing’s forehead that were bulging, even those on the back of his hand had popped up, as if something was about to burst forth from within.

Strangely, Liang Tao felt a pang of sympathy for He Xing. He knew that if nothing went wrong, He Xing should also be appearing in Bai Wei’s Moments right now, and it would definitely be alongside Fu Han.

He Xing had even specially ordered custom-made couples’ ski suits for himself and Fu Han, paid double to expedite the production, and just last night, Liang Tao had received an email that the suits were ready and could be picked up at any time.

But now... now He Xing could only watch from City A as Fu Han appeared in Bai Wei’s Moments with another man; though Liang Tao didn’t think the photos of Fu Han with Su Cheng and Ji Liangchuan were intimate, he knew that He Xing must be feeling very uncomfortable.

The Moments had been updated a few minutes ago, and Liang Tao guessed that Bai Wei was still online, so he hurriedly sent her a message to inquire about their situation.

After bombarding her with about a dozen messages, he finally received a reply from Bai Wei -- three lengthy voice messages.

Liang Tao didn’t dare to let He Xing listen directly, so he covertly transcribed the voice messages into text and skimmed through the content. Only then did he stand up and say to He Xing, "Boss He, I’ve already asked Lady Bai Wei. She sent a few voice messages. Do you want to listen to them?"

He Xing reached out without saying another word, and Liang Tao obligingly handed over his mobile phone with both hands.

A few seconds later, Bai Wei’s trademark crisp voice rang out: "We’re vacationing at M Country’s largest ski field. We’ll stay here until the eve of Christmas Eve, and then we’ll head back to the villa to celebrate Christmas. If time allows, we might also spend New Year’s there."

Bai Wei said a lot more afterward, which, to summarize in Liang Tao’s words, was that every sentence precisely hit He Xing’s sore spots, stomping over them.

He wasn’t exaggerating at all. Bai Wei said that Fu Han was having a lot of fun, with Su Cheng and Ji Liangchuan both constantly coaxing Fu Han to play in the snow. Ji Liangchuan taught Fu Han to ski; Su Cheng took Fu Han on a sleigh ride, and they even found a rabbit in the snow.

Bai Wei narrated as if telling a story, vividly describing how they skied, how they went sledding, how they had a barbecue, enjoyed the snow and watched others propose, making everything seem very lively.

After listening to the three voice messages, Liang Tao was so frightened he dared not even breathe. He watched as his mobile phone was clenched in He Xing’s hand—worried that, in a fit of rage, He Xing would smash it. He wanted to take back his phone but didn’t have the guts.

At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why did he have to tell He Xing about Bai Wei’s Moments? Why did he have to ask Bai Wei for more details? Even if he knew, it should have been enough, why did he have to let He Xing listen?

In the past, he had only heard the saying "the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is," but now he finally understood the eunuch’s feelings. Spit—he wasn’t a eunuch, he was just an overly curious onlooker.

But... Liang Tao silently swore to himself that he would never do such an ungrateful task again. Even if he felt that He Xing and Fu Han were a match made in heaven, he should not be an overzealous audience.

Time ticked by, and the night outside remained dark. He Xing eventually tossed Liang Tao’s mobile phone in front of him with a "snap" and said, "It’s getting late; you can get off work now."

There was an unwritten rule at He Group that assistants, secretaries, and the like weren’t allowed to leave work before their superiors did. Meaning, if He Xing didn’t leave, Liang Tao couldn’t either.

But today, Liang Tao scarcely dared to stay another second. He grabbed his mobile phone, hastily packed his things, and fled He Xing’s office as if escaping. As he closed the door behind him on his way out, he didn’t even dare to look at He Xing’s expression.

No sooner had he walked two steps, the sound of things crashing and breaking emanated from the office.

Liang Tao had worked by He Xing’s side for four years, and no matter how serious an incident, He Xing had always been like Mount Tai in the face of collapse, unflappable. But now, just because of some voice messages, He Xing’s inherent calmness had completely vanished, and he had utterly lost his composure.

Suddenly, Liang Tao’s phone rang, signaling a new message.

This sound was particularly jarring in the quiet building, scaring Liang Tao so badly that he nearly jumped. Upon discovering that the message was from Bai Wei, his legs went weak with fear.

An unidentified breeze came through, and only then did Liang Tao realize that at some point, the clothes on his back had become drenched with sweat.

He looked back in the direction of He Xing’s office again, as if to confirm something, followed by another round of crashing noises, louder than before.

Liang Tao didn’t dare linger any longer. Holding his phone as if it were a hot potato, he didn’t dare open the latest voice message from Bai Wei until he was out of the He Family building.

"Are you with He Xing? Did he listen to the messages I sent? What was his reaction? Tell me quickly; I’m dying of curiosity."

Liang Tao felt as if he’d been duped by Bai Wei. Annoyed, he replied with a voice message: "Lady, you’re about to get me killed. By now, Boss He’s office must have turned into a rubbish dump."

Bai Wei’s gloating voice came almost immediately: "Serves him right for always standing Fu Han up. Now that Fu Han doesn’t want him, a lot of other people are pursuing her. Let him regret it."

"What, they broke up?" Liang Tao was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. He finally understood why He Xing was so angry.

Turned out, He Xing was not only dumped, but he was also forced to see the person he cared for having fun with someone else. Anyone would have had a hard time accepting that, especially since He Xing liked Fu Han so much. Seeing those photos and hearing those voice messages must have made him feel like his heart was about to explode. The fact that he waited until Liang Tao had left before smashing things already showed a great deal of self-control.
