Beg Me to Remarry
Chapter 655 - 656: Giving You Half an Hour

They had argued last night, and in the middle of the night Luo Qinghe had called Bai Wei. Initially, Luo Qinghe’s attitude was alright, as he was apologizing to Bai Wei.

Actually, after talking to Fu Han, Bai Wei had thought a lot and had done some self-reflection, so she intended to let the matter slide and not dwell on this issue any longer.

But as the conversation went on, Luo Qinghe started to make more and more of a mess, dragging Fu Han and Nan Qing into it, uttering a pile of illogical remarks, and to top it all off, he said Bai Wei was willful, like an overgrown child.

Of course Bai Wei would not stand for that; she thought it was clear that Luo Qinghe was in the wrong, so why should she have to apologize?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she also began to retaliate against Luo Qinghe, needle and thread style.

These two had been the center of attention since they were little, neither of them used to taking crap from anyone, notorious for being hard to deal with. Their arguments were like collisions between lit sticks of dynamite.

Another inevitable argument ensued, even more intense than before, and in the end, Bai Wei only remembered being extremely angry, as for what exactly they said, she couldn’t remember.

But that feeling of being so enraged she felt like her lungs could explode was still there, and just thinking about it made Bai Wei want to rush to Luo Qinghe’s house to sort things out, wishing she could just punch him.

Suddenly, Bai Wei’s phone rang, startling her and nearly causing her to drop the phone on the floor, but when she saw that the caller was Luo Qinghe, her expression softened a bit.

Bai Wei felt slightly smug in her heart, thinking, so you still have to call me obediently, huh?

However, the thought that Luo Qinghe only called in the afternoon, as if he had called earlier it might have spared her the embarrassment in front of her parents, reignited the anger in her heart, and she hung up the call directly.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again, still Luo Qinghe.

Originally, Bai Wei planned on hanging up in one go, truth be told, with her temper, she really wanted to see how long Luo Qinghe would shamelessly keep calling.

But after thinking about it, Bai Wei was a bit worried about giving him the cold shoulder in case Luo Qinghe got angry and then truly stopped caring about her altogether.

So she silently waited a few more minutes, and then she picked up the phone. Deliberately using an impatient tone, she said to Luo Qinghe, "Hello, didn’t you say you would never deal with me again? What do you want, calling me now?"

Luo Qinghe’s voice came through immediately, "Come down, I have something to talk to you about!"

"You want me to come down just because you say so?" Bai Wei was also infuriated, her beautiful face full of rage.

Could she not be angry? She had barely waited for Luo Qinghe’s call, but the moment he opened his mouth, his tone was so offensive. It would be strange if she wasn’t mad!

"You have ten minutes. If you don’t come down, I’m leaving," Luo Qinghe said in his usual arrogant tone, making one itch to punch him in the face.

Bai Wei seethed for ten seconds, but after those ten seconds, she still very angrily said, "Half an hour, I can’t be that quick."

"Fine, I’ll wait half an hour for you," Luo Qinghe agreed swiftly, but after saying that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Bai Wei sat in the hanging basket chair for several minutes, shaking all over with rage; she pondered for the first time why she even liked Luo Qinghe—it was like she was looking for punishment.

But thinking was one thing, Bai Wei still willing walked to her wardrobe and started to get dressed and do her makeup.

She consoled herself by thinking, even if she had to go down to break up with Luo Qinghe, she wanted to look her best and let Luo Qinghe know what he was losing.

...

He Group.

From the moment He Xing returned to the office just after ten, the entire corporation plunged into a grave and oppressive atmosphere.

Today was the first day back at work after the new year, and when everyone had no interest in working before He Xing arrived, they were all just going through the motions. But after He Xing’s arrival, everyone immediately started working very vigorously, fearing accidentally provoking He Xing because anyone with eyes could see He Xing was angry.

Liang Tao was one of them; he hadn’t left his spot the entire morning. Although he didn’t have much work to do today, he kept himself busy on the computer, putting on an appearance of being very occupied.

Come lunchtime, Liang Tao mustered the guts to ask if he should bring He Xing lunch and, given permission, he left the office in a trot.

Once he was downstairs, Liang Tao took out his mobile phone intending to complain to Zhao Ting about how miserably trapped he felt at work today, hoping to earn her sympathy and possibly seeing her tonight.

He was heading towards the food street not far away while habitually checking various platforms to see if anything new had happened so that he’d have something to talk about with Zhao Ting later, preventing any awkward silences.

But no sooner had he connected to the internet than he saw the skating video posted by Fu Han.

Liang Tao had already been speculating that He Xing’s sour mood was related to Fu Han, and at this point it almost felt like confirmation. He gave up on getting lunch altogether and turned back to He Group.

Ten minutes later, perhaps not even that long, a Lamborghini slowly drove out from He Group, specifically He Xing’s car.

The traffic on the roads increased by noon, and it seemed like He Xing’s luck was particularly bad that day, as he hit a red light at every intersection, seriously delaying his travel time.

Another red light, and seeing the painful "60" on the display in front of him, He Xing hit the steering wheel hard, a sense of irritation gradually rising within him.

He still couldn’t get in touch with Fu Han, but Liang Tao knew the location of the skating rink Fu Han was at, and since Liang Tao had seen the video the moment it was posted, he surmised Fu Han might still be there, provided he moved fast enough.

According to the GPS, it should take about half an hour to reach the skating rink from He Group if he moved quickly, but given his luck, He Xing felt he’d be lucky to get there within an hour.

Fortunately, it was only a short stretch of road that was congested, and twenty minutes later he managed to escape the curse of hitting every red light at each intersection.

It took over forty minutes from the time He Xing left the office to his arrival at the skating rink.

He Xing’s mood was already foul, and this drawn-out ordeal only worsened it; it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if someone careless annoyed him at that moment, he would get incredibly angry, and the consequences would be severe.
