Stop There, Daddy

Chapter 517: No Friends



“Ding.”

In the early morning, the sound of a phone ringing woke up from Wen Luo’s sleep.

In the half awaken, she reached out and searched around the small table to find her phone.

“Hey, which one?”

On the other end of the phone, Gong Yu clearly heard the tiredness in her voice. “Didn’t you get up yet?”

“Why did you wake up so early?” She heard Gong Yu’s voice and rubbed her messy hair. Wenrot got up and glanced at the clock on the wall.

She complained that he had come to disturb her so early on.

“I’m just calling to remind you kindly. Don’t forget that today, we have to discuss the date of our engagement, and we’re going to pick out dresses and take wedding photos.”

When Wen Luo heard the word “engagement”, he instantly lost all sleepiness!

“Luoluo, are you listening to the phone?” Gong Yu felt strange that there was no sound from the opposite side.

“I’m listening.”

“Then remember to take a leave of absence from the company. I’ll pick you up later.”

“Mmm, okay.” After putting down the phone, Wen Luo sat on the bed and was stunned.

Today was the day of her engagement with Gong Yu, but she didn’t seem ready to become Gong Yu’s bride. Besides, until now, she still hadn’t found much of her memory.

And recently, a vague back image had always appeared in the depths of her mind. She couldn’t remember who this back was.

After she arrived at the company, she went straight to the CEO’s office.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Why do you need to ask for leave?” He Siming put down the documents in his hand and looked up at her.

“Gong Yu and I are going to prepare for the engagement today,” Wen Luo didn’t intend to hide it and explained the reason.

“Oh, is that so?” When he heard the news, He Siming suddenly felt like he was being stabbed by something. “But I’m afraid you can’t take a vacation today.”

“Why?”

“I just sent an emergency document abroad. You need to deal with it right away,” He Siming lowered his head and looked at the computer screen with his fingers running quickly.

“Can you make the document tomorrow?”

Why does Wen Luo think he deliberately didn’t ask for leave?

“I’m afraid it won’t work,” he said. “This batch of documents belong to the urgent documents and need to be processed immediately.”

“Then I should be able to take leave after I finish processing the documents, right?”

“After you’re done, of course you can.”

When she opened the folder, she saw that the files in the folder were lined up from top to bottom. It looked like there were at least twenty to thirty copies!

So many documents! It seemed like she couldn’t finish the whole morning.

On the other side of Earth, Linda was also confused about one thing. Why did the CEO suddenly ask her to send back all the documents she had to deal with in the past few days to the main company?

He even said that he wanted to find someone to help her handle it, but when did the CEO become so kind?

“Are you working so much?” Can’t you even ask for a day off? “Wen Luo called Gong Ming to explain the situation. After listening to what Wenrot said, he could squeeze together and hold a ‘fish’.

“There’s nothing I can do. A batch of emergency documents suddenly came. I have to settle all of these.”

“Do you have to handle the documents?” Can’t you leave it to others?

“They are all very important documents. How can I leave them to others?”

“Then what should we do? Gong Yu’s tone of voice was tactful but it still revealed his dissatisfaction.

“I didn’t say that I would cancel the engagement ceremony, but there might be a lot of preparation that you need to worry about.” As she spoke, Wen Luo felt quite sorry for Gong Yu. The preparation for the engagement ceremony was usually done by two people, so she could only leave it to him now.

Hearing her say that she wouldn’t cancel the ceremony, Gong Yu’s heart calmed down and his tone softened. “Alright, then quickly handle your work. I’ll be responsible for the rest of the matter.”

“Mmm,” he agreed and the big stone in Wen’s heart was finally put down.

“I’ll treat you to dinner and watch a movie that night, even if it’s a compensation for you.”

“Yes, I’ll pick you up after you get off work.”

After he hung up, Gong Yu was still staring at his phone.

A sudden increase in documents?

He Siming, do you want to stop me from getting engaged to Winrot?

Hmph, I’m afraid it’s too late! Gong Yu smiled as if he was determined to win.

In the evening, Wen Luo invited Gong Yu to watch a recently popular movie called ‘Sea King’. After the movie ended, they found a restaurant for dinner.

“What do you think about the Sea King movie?” After watching the movie, Wen Luo’s mood had been quite excited. She was deeply attracted by Director Wen’s fantastic underwater world.

“Not bad,” Gong Yu said with a smile, then kept stabbing into the bowl of Wen Luo.

“I think the love between the Sea King and Mei La is really beautiful. I really admire the fact that they can have such a beautiful love.” Wen Luo’s eyes were filled with longing and yearning for love.

“I don’t envy their love. Mingla betrayed Ohm and the Sea King.” Gong Yu made a different point.

“Mingla doesn’t love Ohm, and her actions can’t be considered as betraying Ohm. Everyone has the right to pursue love.”

“You can’t forget your responsibility in pursuing love. In the movie, Mei La betrayed her father and country.”

“Why do you always place the responsibility on women? Even in order to protect the country, you don’t need to sacrifice the happiness of a lifetime.” Wen Luo felt that Gong Yu’s thoughts were really different from her. “To pursue your own happiness and to protect the country are two different things. It doesn’t conflict.”

“I was just expressing my opinion. Why are you so excited?” Gong Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at her with a smile.

“I’m not excited. I’m just expressing my opinion,” Wen Luo also felt that she had been too impulsive just now. She lowered her head and quietly ate some odourless food in the bowl.

“By the way, who do you want to invite at our engagement ceremony?” Gong Yu felt that the atmosphere was a little stifled and wanted to change the topic.

“It’s good to invite some relatives and friends,” Wen Luo didn’t like too grand and complicated ceremonies. She felt that it was easy to be warm.

“Alright then, give me a list of people you want to invite later,” Gong Yu said and continued to lower his head to eat.

His words were like a big stone stabbing into Wen Luo’s heart.

Which friends do I have?

“Gong Yu, do you still remember my friends before I lost my memory?” she suddenly asked.

Gong Yu thought about it for a while before saying, “It doesn’t seem to be!”

“No friends?” Wen Luo asked, frowning.

She was suspicious of this but Gong Yu was the first person she saw after waking up. It was her connection to the world.

Even though she was suspicious, it was hard to say it frankly.

The goodwill that Wenrot had just developed towards Gong Gui started to decline.
