Chapter 2022: Scared the s.h.i.+t Out of Her Soul

Xiao Yuqian only had two choices left: stay at Huayin or break up with Ma Haodong.

Even if she chose to stay with Ma Haodong, she knew that Ma Hangcheng would never agree with it. They might not be together in the end.

That was why Mr. He was giving Xiao Yuqian a choice to not ruin her career.

Xiao Yuqian went back to her own office. She sat down in her chair and let out a deep sigh.

She looked at everything in her office, the familiar surroundings. It was what she had fought for.

She was reluctant to give up her career for Ma Haodong.

The main reason was that Ma Haodong didn’t make her feel safe about their relations.h.i.+p. They were even still fighting.

It was as if Xiao Yuqian had met with the hardest choice in her life and had no idea how to proceed.

After work had ended, Xiao Yuqian went to ask Nie Zhenglan for advice.

“Qianqian, which do you think is more important? Your career or Ma Haodong?” Nie Zhenglan asked.

Xiao Yuqian was a person who put her work first all the time. The question by Nie Zhenglan made her hesitate and she couldn’t give an answer.

“Then… let me ask you this. Will you die if you lose your job?” Nie Zhenglan then asked.

“Not really,” Xiao Yuqian replied.

“What if you lose Ma Haodong then? Or what if he pa.s.sed away? How would you feel?”

“…”

It was then that Xiao Yuqian realized that even if she lost her job, nothing major would happen to her. But if she lost Ma Haodong, she would probably die from sadness.

She had completely fallen in love with the man that was younger than her. A love that she had given her all to.

Losing him would cripple her completely.

It was then that Xiao Yuqian got a call.

After hearing the content of the call, Xiao Yuqian’s expression changed.

“I’ll be right there!” Xiao Yuqian exclaimed and hung up the call.

She then grabbed her bag and excused herself. “Lanlan, I know what to do now. Thank you.”

And then, Xiao Yuqian ran out the door.

Nie Zhenglan looked at Xiao Yuqian’s fl.u.s.tered expression and could guess the call was about Ma Haodong. Ma Haodong was the only person who could make Xiao Yuqian, who was calm and steady all the time, lose her composure.

…

The call that Xiao Yuqian got was from Ma Haodong’s friends. They told her that Ma Haodong was in a car accident.

Xiao Yuqian guessed that Ma Haodong went racing and crashed his car.

After seeing how Ma Haodong’s car crashed when he borrowed it from his friend, Xiao Yuqian knew how serious the situation could be. The call almost scared the s.h.i.+t out of her soul.

After learning that Ma Haodong was at the sports stadium, she rushed over there and found him there.

But Ma Haodong was completely fine and was playing basketball with his friends.

When Ma Haodong’s friends realized Xiao Yuqian had arrived, they told Ma Haodong that his girlfriend was there to see him.

Ma Haodong quickly ran over to Xiao Yuqian. “Why are you here?’

Xiao Yuqian scanned Ma Haodong from top to bottom. “Your friend told me that you were in an accident. Are you alright?”
