He is Lovestruck in the Revenge by Gu Nanxi

Chapter 291: 284: Offer Jiang Chengxue a Cup of Poisoned Tea (First Update) Chapter 291: 284: Offer Jiang Chengxue a Cup of Poisoned Tea (First Update) Granny Zhu got up early and noticed that the roof was white.

The leaves of the Hooked Cymbidium were almost all gone, leaving behind only the bare stems twined around the sweet osmanthus tree, with thin branches burdened by a thin layer of snow, wavering on the verge of falling under the weight.

Xie Shang stood under the eaves, watching the snow fluttering outside the house.

Granny Zhu came back from the vegetable garden, brushing the snow off her body, “This winter is really long, the year has passed, and it’s still snowing so heavily.” She asked Xie Shang, “Has Changling woken up yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Then let her sleep a little longer. It’s rare for her to sleep so much.”

Granny Zhu took a broom and went outside to sweep the snow.

Xie Shang received a phone call.

“Zheng Lvhong wants to see you.”

Xie Shang made a sound of agreement, hung up the phone, and went back to his room.

Wen Changling was still asleep. She sweated in the latter half of the night, and kept saying she was cold afterward. The air conditioning was turned on for heating in the room. Xie Shang stood by the door for a while, waiting until he was warm before he walked to the bedside, placed her hand that was stretched out of the blanket properly, kissed her face, then got up and left.

The door was gently closed.

Wen Changling opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, showing no signs of sleepiness. She sat up, reached for the phone hidden under her pillow, and called Shi Lihong.

“I’m taking a day off; I won’t be coming to work today.” She paused for a moment, “Nor tomorrow.”

Shi Lihong asked her how long she would be on leave.

“For a long time.”

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. She had started preparing before the year began, “I have already handed over all my work. Yun Yi is very capable, you can rely on him with confidence.”

Shi Lihong did not press for the reason for the “leave”: “Would you change your mind if I asked you to stay?”

“No.”

Shi Lihong was regretful but respected Wen Changling’s choice: “Then I wish you success in your endeavors.”

“Thank you.”
