Chapter 1968 - Completely Ignore

“I don’t have classes today. Just pretend I’m not here,” Ma Haodong said.

Seeing that Ma Haodong wasn’t planning to leave any time soon, Xiao Yuqian sighed and started to focus on her work.

The two of them stayed in the same room for the next few hours, and nothing much happened. Xiao Yuqian was so immersed in her job that she completely ignored Ma Haodong being in the same room with her.

Ma Haodong started playing games on his phone until he was bored. He then placed a magazine over his face and fell asleep on the couch.

Xiao Yuqian then went out for a meeting and came back. She had forgotten entirely about Ma Haodong at that point and worked hard until it was time to leave.

Guan Hao came to get her when it was almost dinner time. She closed her computer and was ready to leave.

Ma Haodong was woken up by Guan Hao’s voice and sat up.

Shocked by Ma Haodong’s sudden appearance, Guan Hao turned to Xiao Yuqian and asked, “Why is he still here?”

It was only then that Xiao Yuqian realized Ma Haodong had been in her office the whole time.

“Hey, can I join you guys?” Ma Haodong asked.

When Ma Haodong spoke, Guan Hao had a little déjà vu, like he’d heard the voice before.

“I’m buying dinner for the PR team, it’d be weird for you to join us,” Xiao Yuqian quickly rejected.

“Come on, isn’t it a good way for me to get to know my new colleagues?” Ma Haodong smiled. “Plus, I don’t have any money for food.”

Xiao Yuqian stared at Ma Haodong angrily. She found it hard to believe that the successor of a large corporation did not have money to eat.

“Hey, I ain’t lying,” Ma Haodong said and pulled his empty pockets out. “Look.”

It was then that Guan Hao finally recalled Ma Haodong’s voice. It was the same as the man who had hit him outside the office once.

“You!” Guan Hao roared as he grabbed Ma Haodong’s collar.

“Isn’t this the bastard we met at the entrance last time?” Guan Hao asked Xiao Yuqian.

“Hey! Break it up!” Xiao Yuqian quickly pulled both of them apart and turned to Guan Hao. “Come on, let’s go.”

Guan Hao gritted his teeth and let Ma Haodong go since Xiao Yuqian asked him to do so. He did not forget to give Ma Haodong a dirty stare before turning away.

Ma Haodong then followed Xiao Yuqian and Guan Hao out of the office, determined to join them for dinner.

Xiao Yuqian went into Guan Hao’s car, and Ma Haodong jumped into the backseat.

“Did I say you could ride in my car?” Guan Hao asked angrily.

“Just pretend that I’m not here,” Ma Haodong said, showing that he wasn’t going to leave.

“Just let him be,” Xiao Yuqian said as she tried to prevent another argument. “I’ll have to introduce him to everyone sooner or later anyway.”

Guan Hao didn’t say anything and started his car.

They arrived at the restaurant, and everyone was waiting for them already.

The PR team was shocked when Ma Haodong showed up with Xiao Yuqian and Guan Hao. Some of them asked Xiao Yuqian who he was.

“This will be the company’s newest addition, Ma Haodong,” Xiao Yuqian said.
