"Ning Jie, don't worry, I know what to do," Han Xiner replied confidently.
After a moment of silence, Tangning let out a gentle laugh, "Bei Chendong has too much of an ego. Take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. If you really have the intention to spend a lifetime with him, don't be weak and back down."
"I understand, Ning Jie."
After talking to Tangning, Han Xiner immediately contacted the media. But, because they already had solid evidence of Bei Chendong kissing the mystery woman, Han Xiner directly told them, "We can't give you a response right now, but we will share some good news with you soon."
In reality, the media had been trying to figure out the relations.h.i.+p between Bei Chendong and Han Xiner for quite some time. After all, Bei Chendong had never used an a.s.sistant over the years, yet he chose to use Han Xiner. Han Xiner obviously meant something special to him. But, Bei Chendong's whereabouts was always a mystery, so capturing a photo of him with Han Xiner was always a challenge.
However, just as everyone accepted the ambiguous nature of Bei Chendong and Han Xiner's relations.h.i.+p, a mystery woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere...
The media a.s.sumed that Bei Chendong had lost interest in Han Xiner and had found himself a new toy, that he wasn't going to keep her around and was bound to cancel her contract without hesitation.
With the addition of Han Xiner's response, the media were certain that the relations.h.i.+p between Han Xiner and Bei Chendong had undergone a change.
However, this was not the most spectacular scene. Because, it didn't take long before Bei Chendong stepped out to reveal the truth, "The woman in the photo indeed has a special relations.h.i.+p with me."
A suggestive response like this pushed Han Xiner further into the media's line of attack.
"In that case, have you thought about what to do with Han Xiner?"
"She's just one of my staff, what should I do with her?" Bei Chendong walked and responded at the same time.
So, when Han Xiner saw the news the next day, she realized it was perhaps the right time for her to leave. Therefore, she typed up a resignation letter and drove over to Bei Chendong's home. As she pushed open the door to his home, she realized he was still asleep in bed, so she quietly placed the letter on his bedside table.
"What is the meaning of this?" Bei Chendong asked as he furrowed his brows.
"I'm about to attend Hai Rui's entry exam, so...I may not be able to continue being 'one of your staff'. I've learned alot from the time I spent with you. Thank you."
"Wait. Who said you could leave?" Bei Chendong sat up, revealing his firmly toned body, "Have you not looked at your contract in detail?"
"Yes I have. The contract term is 30 years," Han Xiner replied calmly. "You might be after a long-term a.s.sistant, but I can't possibly spend my lifetime just being your a.s.sistant. I have my own life to live and goals to achieve."
"Han Xiner, did you think I'd spend my entire life circling around you? There is a limit to my patience..."
Han Xiner stopped in her track, but she did not turn around. She simply said in a firm and mature manner, "You're wrong. If you truly love someone, even if it means all your internal organs are painfully destroyed, you will still have the patience..."
"Dong Ge, the answer you've been waiting for, I'll give it to you now...I do indeed like you, but, I lack confidence. There is no way I can fight to be with you in my current state." After speaking, Han Xiner started heading out the door, but Bei Chendong suddenly grabbed onto her hand.
"Is what you say true?"
"Of course," Han Xiner threw away Bei Chendong's hand and walked out without turning back.
However, Bei Chendong did not chase after her. He simply lay back in bed and smiled. He had waited too long for Han Xiner to give him a response. If Han Xiner continued to be an indifferent a.s.sistant around him, their ambiguous relations.h.i.+p would continue to drag on with no end...
