He Is Warmer Than Time

Chapter 33: Team Leader Gu Was Anxious

Song Ran’s heart sank. She immediately flew down the flight of stairs. She had been so involved with how to deal with the playboy that she had totally forgotten to call her Team Leader Gu.

A huge mistake!

She dashed towards Mother Wu and grabbed the phone. Before she could regulate her breathing, she said while panting heavily, “Jinghang... Jinghang...”

After three days of waiting for her call but to no avail, Gu Jinghang had been tossing and turning restlessly in bed. He was afraid that she had forgotten his number, but he was also afraid that she would suddenly turn back to her old cold self.

He wanted to take the initiative to make the call, but he was also worried that she would be annoyed.

Team Leader Gu had it tough for the past few days. He could not contain his emotional turmoil any longer, so he went to the receptionist’s office and made a call to Song Ran with an unsettled heart.

Jinghang, Jinghang. At that instant, her gentle voice was as peaceful as Qingjian County under the moonlight, and it soothed his uneasiness.

“Yup, Ran. It’s me, Jinghang...” His voice was soft and extremely gentle.

Song Ran immediately blamed herself and said, “Jinghang, I’m sorry. I had forgotten to give you a call earlier.”

In the empty receptionist’s office, Team Leader Gu laughed out loud joyfully. Great! After three days, Ran was still the same. She had not returned to what she was like before.

“It’s alright. I just wanted to ask you if you have decided on where to go on Sunday?”

This was the main reason for his call. He was afraid that Song Ran had forgotten about her date with him.

Song Ran blurted out, “How about People’s Park?”

“Okay,” Gu Jinghang agreed instantly.

“Yup, alright. Shall we meet at eight in the morning at the entrance of People’s Park the day after?”

“Sure.” The stiff expression on Team Leader Gu’s face was gone instantly and he was looking forward to the date which was in two days.

“I have been busy for the past few days. That’s why I forgot to call you. Why didn’t you call me earlier?”

The living room only had a floor lamp which was lit. The dim light lit up a perimeter of one foot. The other areas were dark and quiet. The night was so still that Song Ran was able to hear Gu Jinghang’s breathing.

“Because... because I was busy too.” Gu Jinghang casually came up with an excuse.

Song Ran did not believe him as she said, “Were you afraid that I would not call you nor answer your call? You were worried that I would be cold towards you again, right? Did you think your call would annoy me? You haven’t been sleeping well for the past few nights, am I right?”

Team Leader Gu’s heart sank. The little fox was indeed a little fox. How could she have known all these things?

“How do you know everything?” His voice was as pure as jade. Through his deep and soothing voice, he delivered forgiveness and love through the phone into Song Ran’s ears. In the quiet night, his heart blossomed.

Song Ran smiled proudly, “I am Fairy Song. You have to be careful in the future.”

Gu Jinghang laughed softly. Song Ran’s heart was tickled by his laughter, so she quickly changed the subject and said, “Do you know what I’ve been busying myself with these past few days?”

Gu Jinghang stood tall like a pine tree. He laughed and said, “I’m not a fairy. I don’t know what you have been up to.”

Song Ran chuckled. Gu Jinghang was now comfortable enough to crack a few jokes in front of her. She said, “Aunty Shen arranged a matchmaking session for me.”

Team Leader Gu struggled to stand straight for a moment. His heart which was initially like calm waters was suddenly rippling. He pretended to be composed as he asked, “What... what marriage?”

Just as Song Ran was about to answer him, she caught a glimpse of the corner of a dress hanging from the staircase on the second floor. The material was from the silk dress pajamas belonging to Shen Mengfang. That woman could forget about trying to eavesdrop. There was no way about it.
