Chapter 601
Ye Junqing pinned her down: “Why don’t we give it a try tonight, and see what we can sow?”
“No, I’m not interested. My mom already said our engagement has been called off, whether we can be together in the future is still uncertain. Uh, why… It’s that time of the month! Really!”
Ye Junqing: “!!!!!!”
…
The next day, Ye Xingguang did not go to the hospital, but to report to her new work team instead. However, it seemed that the new team was not very welcoming. All new colleagues maintained their distance, as if afraid to get too close.
The new work team is the public relations team for the upcoming President, and she only knows one person currently – a girl named Xiao Yao, whom she met at Ye Shiting’s office villa during the presidential election voting.
...
In a few days, it would be the presidential inauguration, and the entire news team was very busy. They needed teamwork, but everyone was avoiding her. This made it difficult for her to fit in with her new colleagues.
She found an opportunity to ask Xiao Yao what was really going on.
Xiao Yao handed her the front page of the day’s newspaper for her to see, then also distanced herself.
Holding the newspaper, Ye Xingguang saw that several eye-catching headlines read: [Disaster Diamond PK Lucky Light, will Miss Carp’s luck rise to new heights, or go through dramatic ups and downs?]
Because she bought the Disaster Diamond, her new colleagues were now afraid that she might be cursed by it. Afraid that if they get too close, they might be infected by the curse. The looks her new colleagues gave her were filled with disbelief!
How much confidence must one have in their own luck to dare to buy the Disaster Diamond – this blue diamond stained with blood and killings?noveldrama
Ye Xingguang looked at the similar reports, shrugged nonchalantly, and began her day’s work.
During noon break, Han Chengbei called, also because of her purchasing the Disaster Diamond the night before. He insisted on inviting her out for dinner that evening, to give her an amulet for protection.
Han Chengbei spoke solemnly over the phone: “My goodness! Don’t think that having a regret pill that can change fate means you can act recklessly. Are you at the hospital? I’ll come find you. I recently felt unlucky. I just went with my old grandma to the Daying Temple to burn incense. We got a string of consecrated Buddha Beads. I’ll begrudge it a little and give it to you for protection first.”
“I have full confidence in my own luck. Just keep your consecrated bracelet for your own peace.”
Han Chengbei, unable to get her to agree to meet, still wouldn’t give up: “You’re at the hospital, right? Wait there, I’m driving over now. Please meet me at the security gate.”
“Hold on, I’m not at the hospital.”
“Then where are you?”
Ye Xingguang gave him an address. As Ye Shiting hadn’t taken office yet, their current office location was temporary, located on the third floor of KOCO TV Station.
Twenty minutes later, Han Chengbei called from the security gate of KOCO building, asking her to come down.
Ye Xingguang had no choice so she went downstairs. There she saw Han Chengbei chatting with the security guard sporting a trendy new hairstyle, waving at her from afar.
Ye Xingguang walked over and started: “You really came. I’m at work.”
Without hesitation, Han Chengbei put a string of black Buddha Beads on her wrist and, not satisfied, pulled out several talismans from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand: “Paste one in your office, one in your home, and one in the car you usually ride.”
Looking at the yellow talismans in her hand, Ye Xingguang was at a loss for words: “When did Han the Younger become so superstitious?”
“All for your life! Of all the things to bid on, you had to choose the Disaster Diamond!”
