The Foster Daughter's Attraction

Chapter 21: She's Playing Hard to Get

Yu Heng was sitting in his office. When he saw the HR manager come back, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"President Yu, Miss Hai handed in her resignation letter and told me to go through the process." The HR manager was helpless. What was going on?

"Didn't I tell you not to let her resign?" Yu Heng frowned.

Seeing that Yu Heng was not satisfied, the HR manager hurriedly explained, "It seems that Miss Hai had a conflict with her department head. Miss Hai also said that ever since she came to work, everyone laughed at her and insulted her. She endured it all for your sake, but everyone has a temper. I think she might not be willing to endure it anymore, so…"

The HR manager threw the blame on the other colleagues.

"Can't she just endure it a bit more? Who was she trying to show off to by making such a big fuss?" Yu Heng slapped the table and said angrily.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Maybe she's just playing hard to get. She just wants to make you anxious. She loves you so much and has been pestering you for so many years. How can she leave just because of such a small matter?"

Gong Lu said casually. In his eyes, Hai Tang was someone who could not live without Yu Heng. How could she give up just like that?

This was clearly to see what Yu Heng thought of her.

"If you ask me, you should just approve it directly! Anyway, it's quite annoying that this woman keeps pestering you." Gong Lu threw the pen to Yu Heng. "She will definitely come back and beg you."

"Is that so?" Yu Heng also felt that Gong Lu was right, and his anger subsided slightly.

Hai Tang loved him so much. It was impossible for her to want to leave for no reason. Could it be that someone had said something behind his back?

Yu Heng was very confident in Hai Tang's feelings and love for him. Could it be because of Hai Yuan?

Yu Heng waited in the office for the whole morning. When it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he realized that Hai Tang had not come up to look for him once. He was even more annoyed.

He called Hai Tang's office phone.

"Come to my cabin." As usual, Yu Heng ordered Hai Tang.

Hai Tang laughed at herself. What was she expecting? She clearly knew that she was a bootlicker and a tool in Yu Heng's eyes, but she still felt sad.

"Are you approving my resignation application?" Hai Tang asked, but Yu Heng directly hung up.

Her meaning was very obvious. No matter what she wanted to do, she had to go to Yu Heng's office.

When she arrived at Yu Heng's cabin, Hai Tang entered and found Gong Lu sitting inside.

Gong Lu was a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. He would usually come to Yu Heng's office when he had nothing to do.

"Why are you suddenly resigning? Didn't I agree to your leave? When did you become so irresponsible?" Yu Heng frowned and asked unhappily. "You're not that kind of person. Besides, I still have many important projects for you to take charge of. If you..."

Before Yu Heng could finish, she interrupted, "President Yu, I believe that the other colleagues in our department are just as capable. Thank you very much for your kindness. It's just that I have other pursuits. I can only say sorry for your arrangements for me, President Yu."

Hearing Hai Tang's words, Gong Lu immediately burst into laughter.

"This is hilarious. You're still putting on a show. Don't you just want to know if you're in Yu Heng's heart? Why? Are you only satisfied if he begs you to stay? Don't be arrogant. That's not good. You have to know that Yu Heng is already giving you face by being willing to talk to you like this."

Gong Lu's face was filled with disdain. He wanted to tear apart Hai Tang's disguise and see her lower her voice again. New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

"Why didn't you come to work yesterday?" Yu Heng did not help Hai Tang. Usually, Gong Lu also spoke like this. He did not think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he felt that Gong Lu treated him as a brother and was considering him personally.

Although Gong Lu had made it sound a little serious, who asked Hai Tang to go so far? Even if Gong Lu scolded him, it was only right.
