: Huadiao Wine (2)Translator: Sissy That Walk
Di Qiuhe hastened to reply, “Yeah, sure, of course. As the boss man of Huading, I myself had asked someone else to manage the company for me, you, as the boss lady only have more rights to do so. I’m going to have a talk with the nominal CEO to ask him assign you less work.”
He Bai frowned, “Boss LADY who? It sounds like you are very proud that you are a walk away CEO, yeah?”
Di Qiuhe soon realized he chose the wrong word by calling He Bai a boss lady, he dialed He Bai’s number to apologize.
“Calling to say you are sorry?” asked He Bai in a cold voice.
“Yeah, you the the boss, I’m the boss lady.” relied Di Qiuhe, and he whispered, “I miss you, puppy.”
A smile replaced He Bai’s poker face, he poked the doggo figurine that Di Qiuhe sent him as a gift and said yeah.
Pink bubble in the air.
“I haven’t seen you for over a month now.” Di Qiuhe broke the silence, he carefully said, “Puppy, I’m fitting in the crew quite well, shall I go visit you this weekend… …”
“I’m going to see Professor Xu and his friends this weekend.” replied He Bai, then he tried to cheer Di Qiuhe up, “Soon I will visit you though, work hard, I will ask Assistant Wang to report to me every day.”
Di Qiuhe’s sparkling eyes dimmed, but he said gently, “Yay, I will work hard and wait for your visit.”
“Good boy, I promise I will visit you soon.”
He Bai pulled his hair out of frustration after he hang up.
‘Shit! I cannot wait, but I want to give you a birthday surprise on 7th of Sep, sigh, long-distance relationship is the hardest thing!’
Qin Li now felt so aggrieved seeing Huading replacing Huangdu in show business, she thought she could have it all after Huangdu went bankrupt.
She blamed Zeng Peizhong for not keeping his promise, she blamed Zeng Peizhong for not being her puppet.
“Ms. Qin, Mr. Zeng is here and he wants to see you.” Zeng Peizhong’s assistant knocked on her door.
She turned off the laptop and straightened her clothes, then she put on a smile and opened the door.
“Li.” Zeng Peizhong now looked more feeble, and his voice became almost indiscernible.
“Why are you up, isn’t it your nap time now?” Qin Li asked with concern, she walked to Zeng Peizhong and bent down, “The doctor always says you’s better rest quietly to recuperate.”
“I’m just waiting for death, I don’t see the difference between waiting for death lying in bed and in my wheelchair.” answered Zeng Peizhong, he held Qin Li’s hand and continued, “I just have a hard time falling asleep, I always worry what if you run away again… I can’t let you run away.”
Qin Li blushed, “I won’t run away. It is early autumn now, and Chunhua has been in hospital for about three months now, shall we…”
“The wine is here.”
The doctor came with a bottle of wine, he handed the wine to Zeng Peizhong’s assistant then he ignored Qin Li who was squatting near Zeng Peizhong, and he pushed Zeng Peizhong who was on the wheelchair to the yard, “How about here, Mr. Zeng, such great sunlight here. And also, we can store the wine in the hole anytime now.”
“Yeah, good job Doctor Huang.” smiled Zeng Peizhong, he looked at the hole they just dug and said to Doctor Huang, “I wonder whether she likes to drink when she grows up.”
Doctor Huang smiled as well, “It doesn’t matter, all I know is she will appreciate it very much.”
“You reckon?” Zeng Peizhong’s voice became even more indiscernible, but soon he tried to hold his head up high, “I love autumn, it’s a season of harvest.”
His assistant put the wine jar on the table and stood next to him.
Qin Li just arrived and she missed their earlier conversation, she asked gently, “Peizhong, I heard you talked about harvest, speaking of harvest, do you want some juice? And also, who dug a hole under the tree?”
Hearing Qin Li’s voice, Zeng Peizhong all of a sudden perked up, he waved at Qin Li, “Come here, Li, come have a drink with me.”
Qin Li sat right next to him and said, “It’s probably a bad idea to have a drink now, we will save it for when you get better.” and she couldn’t help but guess the reason why Zeng Peizhong was now in high spirits was like the last radiance of the setting sun and he was dying soon.
The thought made her happy.
Seeing that, Doctor Huang sneered at Qin Li.
Zeng Peizhong replied her with a smile, he grabbed Qin Li’s hand and said, “Yeah, you are right, let’s save it for later.”
They sat basking in the sunshine for a couple hours in the yard, quite surprisingly, Zeng Peizhong kept conscious the whole time.
Qin Li was bored, but her hand was held tightly by Zeng Peizhong, she couldn’t take it back. Seeing the sun going down, Qin Li said, “It’s getting dark now, let’s go back to the room.”
The doctor frowned and he looked worried, ‘Why is there still no call? Could it be…’
