Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 115

Chapter 115 I Didn’t Mention About Breaking Up
When Shao Boqing opened his eyes, the room was still dark, making him think that it was still night and that he had just taken a nap.

Fang Xueqing sat on the short sofa on the opposite. She was still wearing the clothes she wore last night to open the door. Her expression was numb and she kept staring at him without blinking.

Shao Boqing probably didn’t expect Fang Xueqing to be here. The sudden seeing of her made him shocked. He sat up and stroked his forehead, which was aching so painfully that it seemed to be about to crack open. He asked her, “What time is it?”

“Nine o’clock.”

Shao Boqing remembered that when he called Shen Li at the bar, the time showed on his phone screen was right nine o’clock. Then it should be nine o’clock in the morning now. Feeling a little weak, he leaned against the sofa and asked again, “Why are you still at home? Don’t you have to work today?”

Fang Xueqing had been sitting there motionlessly like a wooden sculpture since he woke up. Her voice was also cold, “I want to wait for you to wake up.”

“Why do you want to wait for me?” Shao Boqing smacked his forehead and frowned in pain. “Do what you need to.”

“I want to ask if you are serious about what you said last night.” Fang Xueqing stared straight at him.

“What did I say?” Shao Boqing closed his eyes and asked absent-mindedly.

“You said we should break up.”

Shao Boqing suddenly opened his eyes and finally realized that Fang Xueqing’s expression didn’t look quite right. He sat up straight and blinked his eyes. “I said that? Did I?”

Fang Xueqing nodded.

Shao Boqing smiled and said, “How can you take what I say when I’m drunk seriously?”

Fang Xueqing said expressionlessly, “Don’t they say that one will always speak the truth while drunk? Furthermore, you said it very seriously. You expressed yourself very clearly. I think it should be your sincere words. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have repeated them again and again.”

Shao Boqing asked, “What on earth did I say?”

Fang Xueqing picked up the phone on the tea table, scrolled on the screen and then put it back. Then, Shao Boqing heard his own voice.

“I never knew that you had always hated me. You pretended so well, I actually didn’t know at all. You smiled at me and acted coquettish towards me. Turns out you were just pretending. Why? Why?” His voice stopped for a moment at this point and then he laughed out loud. “You’re amazing, so amazing. I didn’t expect you to be so good at acting. Hahaha… Since you’re so good at acting, why don’t you be an actress? If you do, you would definitely win an Oscar… You lied to me, lied to everyone, and you’ve always hated me so much…”

Shao Boqing was shocked. He didn’t expect that he would say these. Moreover, he didn’t sound like he was drunk at all. His words were clear and logical, and he didn’t stutter at all.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Fang Xueqing. She smiled and said, “Keep listening. There’s more.”

After a short silence, his voice became low and vague, as if he was reminiscing or sighing, “It’s really, really good to have you back then. Every day, every day I can see you, it’s really, really good. I thought it was just a habit, but when you left, I felt bad. I was angry every day and kept changing new secretaries again and again, which had driven Zhou Ting crazy. No one knew why. I… I didn’t know either. I just felt that something was missing. Suddenly, something was missing…”

He spoke slower and slower, and his voice was filled with emotion as if he was telling a beautiful story, “Last time at the amusement park, Xiaoxian said she seemed to see you. Hearing your name, my heart skipped a beat. It pumped very hard as if it was about to pop out of my chest. It’s a feeling I’ve never felt before. I knew that something was wrong, totally wrong. Also, that night at the supermarket, that girl looked like you, so, so much. But all of a sudden, she seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. She was gone. I knew, it must be you. You were hiding from me. I’ve been looking for you from the supermarket to the street for a long time, but I couldn’t find you. I couldn’t find you…”

His voice became lower and lower, and one could easily tell that he was suffering from the pain of suppressing his feelings, “In the end, I found you. I… I finally found you. But… how could you do this to me? You said you hated me, that you had always hated me, that everything you did to me was perfunctory and disguised. How could you do this? How could you do this…”

Shao Boqing heard himself sniffing loudly. His voice was angry yet sad, “For you, I became restless. I couldn’t even sleep well. I just missed you like crazy. I asked my friends to try to find you, but you… you gave me a slap in the face. You’re so ruthless…”

Then there was a long silence. Shao Boqing thought it was the end, but his voice then continued very softly, “Even if you hate me, I still like you. There’s nothing I can do about it. Without you, I can’t even breathe. Without you, I would die. I really would die…”

Fang Xueqing reached out to turn off the recording and looked at him with a dull face. “How is it? Isn’t it wonderful?”

Shao Boqing also pulled a long face and said calmly, “I didn’t mention about breaking up.”

Fang Xueqing was instantly enraged. She threw herself at him and hit him while shouting at the top of her lungs, “You mentioned it. You mentioned it in the very beginning. You’ve already said too much. What’s the point of not mentioning that? You liar, you lied to me. I should have known that there was something going on between you two. Which secretary dared to yell at her boss? How would a secretary disagree with and ignore her boss? Which boss would be so indulgent with his secretary? I’m so stupid, I should have thought of it long ago. The two of you secretly deceived everyone. How f*cking disgusting is this, how disgusting… ”

Fang Xueqing used every last bit of her strength to hit Shao Boqing. She hated him so much that she wished she could skin him and tear his bones apart. Originally, she had a mature and earnest boyfriend who had a successful career. They already started to think about marriage. It was Shao Boqing who destroyed their relationship. And she was so obsessed with him and dumped her boyfriend to fall in Shao Boqing’s embrace. She dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a noble lady. However, now everything was ruined, the life she had planned was thrown in complete chaos.

Back then, all her friends suggested her to think twice, considering Shao Boqing was a famous playboy. But she was full of confidence. The success she had achieved in her work made her feel that she could also be successful in love affairs. After all, she was the only one who was engaged to Shao Boqing during all these years. After becoming his legitimate fiancée, she thought that one leg of hers had steadily stepped into the Shao family, but in the end, it was all in vain.

The relationship that she had made so much effort to maintain was destroyed. Her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered. The wealth and glory that was once so close from her grasp were gone. Fang Xueqing felt disheartened. She had no thinking at all. She could not think of anything else but to hit him desperately.

When a desperate woman started beating people up, it actually hurt a lot. At first, Shao Boqing endured the pain. After all, he had let her down, but gradually, he also became angry. He pushed Fang Xueqing onto the sofa and firmly pressed her down, “Since that’s the case, we can say goodbye in a decent way. You have cursed and beat me up. It’s not good for you to continue being so dramatic. Say what you want while I’m still easy to negotiate. As long as it’s not too much, I’ll give you what you want.”

Fang Xueqing hit him hard for a while and was also tired. She was suppressed by the man and panted heavily. She was a clever woman. Mad as she was, she still had her rationality. She knew that it was no good for her if she really irritated Shao Boqing. Since he wanted her to offer condition, then she would do it. Leaving empty-handed in order to “win” was not a wise choice.

Fang Xueqing calmed down and said, “Let go of me. I’ll get up and talk.”

Seeing that she was calmer, Shao Boqing got up and sat on the sofa on the other side. “This time, I let you down. You can have any requests. I said that as long as it’s not too much, I’ll give you what you want.”

Fang Xueqing fixed her messy hair, cleared her throat and started to make conditions. Things she asked for were nothing more than money, house and car. She would only feel secured when she got real wealth. Shao Boqing agreed to all her conditions and even smiled. “To tell the truth, I like that you never conceal what you want, nor will you cry and scream like those hypocritical women, saying that they only want me instead of my money or anything.”

Fang Xueqing sneered. Once they kept him, they also owned his money. Was there any difference?

After the two of them reached an agreement, Fang Xueqing started to pack up her things and left. Although she was greedy for vanity and wealth, she also had her own principles. If she did not love Shao Boqing, she would not care if there was any other woman in his heart. She would still stay by his side for the sake of wealth and social status in the future. However, she also loved him in her heart. She could not tolerate him thinking about another woman while hugging her every night. Even if she could live an extravagant life every day, what was the point of that anyway?

After Fang Xueqing left, Shao Boqing went to the bathroom to take a shower and then lay on the bed to sleep. Still feeling uncomfortable, he suffered from a headache and was extremely weak.

Not knowing how long he had been sleeping, his phone rang. He grabbed his phone and answered, “I… I’m not feeling well…” Then he completely fainted with his head tilted to one side.

When he woke up again, he was already in the hospital. Turned out it was Gu Nianjing who called him to ask about something at work. However, over the phone, he just heard Shao Boqing saying he was not feeling well. He asked again, but there was no reply from the other end of the phone. Gu Nianjing became anxious, but he didn’t know where Shao Boqing lived, so he could only go to Gu Nianbin for help.

Gu Nianbin immediately asked Zhou Ting to bring a few male employees to Shao Boqing’s house. Since no one answered the door, they found a locksmith to unlock it. Only then did they find that Shao Boqing fainted on the bed. His body was burning hot. It was obvious that he was very sick. They hurriedly sent him to the hospital. He was having a fever of 40.1 degrees Celsius. The doctor said that he would probably die if the fever continued like this. Zhou Ting covered her chest in fear and asked the doctor what to do. The doctor said that he would try to lower his temperature first and then took further examinations. After quite a lot of efforts, Shao Boqing’s temperature finally reduced from 40.1 degrees to 38.5 degrees. Although he was still having a low fever, Zhou Ting finally let out a sigh of relief. She called Gu Nianbin to report the situation. Gu Nianbin told her to stay in the hospital and wait until Shao Boqing completely recovered. She could go back to work after having gotten the examination results.

It was almost six o’clock in the afternoon when Shao Boqing finally recovered from the fever. The results of the examination were not too bad. Zhou Ting learned from the doctor that Shao Boqing had probably caught a cold and was stimulated by something, and his mood was very unstable. He fell asleep for a while and then got unconscious for a moment. And he kept talking in his sleep. During the whole time, he was still unconscious.

Zhou Ting leaned near his lips and listened carefully. Shao Boqing had been saying two vague words. She didn’t know if he was saying “Dengdeng” or “Didi”.
