Please Sign: Your Runaway Wife Has Been Captured - Chapter 107
As the National Day holiday was coming, all companies required their employees to work overtime on this Saturday. Zheng Xiaoguang was no exception. Upon thinking that she would be able to spend the following eight days together with Bluegreen-Clad, she felt delighted and worked exceptionally efficiently.
Coincidentally, her colleague Chen Bishi saw that she was about to finish her work when walking past her with a cup of freshly brewed coffee in hand. She stopped beside Zheng Xiaoguang and said.
“Hi, Xiaoguang. As you’re about to finish your work, can you help me with my work?” Chen Bishi was a pretty girl who had a curvy body and she always spoke somewhat prettily. As such, many colleagues considered her a ‘goddess’ in the office.
This was not the first time that Chen Bishi had asked Zheng Xiaoguang to help her with her work, and Zheng Xiaoguang had never refused her in the past. Nevertheless, she decided not to be such an always available kind of person anymore. “I’m sorry. I can’t help you today.”
“Sigh, don’t be so stingy, Xiaoguang. Please help me out.” Chen Bishi handed the coffee to Zheng Xiaoguang and continued, “I’ll buy you a cup of coffee, okay?”
“I’m sorry, Bishi. I really can’t help you today.” Zheng Xiaoguang carefully avoided the cup of hot coffee. In fact, she was not interested in this so-called high-end beverage.
Chen Bishi blinked pleadingly at Zheng Xiaoguang and said, “Come on, Xiaoguang. Help me out. I really can’t work overtime. I have a date tonight.”

When Zheng Xiaoguang was about to say something, Yang Sisi who was sitting next to her snorted and interjected., “You date every day throughout the year, don’t you?”
Chen Bishi glanced at Yang Sisi and said, “Well, what can I do? I’m just so popular.”
“Yeah, you’re so popular, but I’ve never met your boyfriend,” said Yang Sisi. She had resented Chen Bishi for dating every day and putting all the guys on the “bench” for a long time.
Chen Bishi raised her over-arched eyebrow and said, “I have no choice. I just haven’t found a guy who’s worthy of me?”
Yang Sisi and Zheng Xiaoguang were rendered speechless upon hearing that. They did not want to criticize Chen Bishi for being proud, but they could hardly agree with what she did to those guys. She enjoyed being adored by them and at the same time despised those guys who were chasing after her.
After an awkward silence, Chen Bishi changed the topic. “By the way, Xiaoguang, you’re still single, aren’t you? Do you want me to introduce a guy to you?”
Zheng Xiaoguang felt even more awkward upon hearing that.
Both Chen Bishi and Yang Sisi had arranged blind dates for her before, but Chen Bishi was very different from Yang Sisi. Since going on a blind date arranged by Chen Bishi, Zheng Xiaoguang had kept this girl at a distance.
She did this for a reason.
Chen Bishi had set Zheng Xiaoguang up on a blind date with one of her suitors that she disliked.
Let us call this suitor Mr. A. Mr. A was a quite good guy. Both he and his parents work in the same big company. He was the only child of his parents. Although he had not bought a house, he had already bought a car by himself. It was said that Mr. A had been chasing after Chen Bishi for more than three years. He often rode a bike to the company to deliver some breakfast food or snacks to Chen Bishi.
Chen Bishi despised Mr. A as he did not have good looks and always rode a bike.
She always spoke ill of Mr. A in front of her colleagues in the company but never refused the food that he delivered to her.
“Sigh, he keeps delivering this kind of food to me. I’m sick of it. Why doesn’t he deliver some other kinds of food to me for a change? Well, let’s share it.”
“He rode his bike here again! Why can’t he take a taxi? He even wants to date me while riding a bike. Look at my dress. It’s expensive. How can I sit on a bike when I’m wearing this dress?”
Girls in the company usually did not speak much upon hearing those remarks from Chen Bishi, but they all sympathized with Mr. A. The secretly called him “the most miserable back-up of the year”.
Later, when she found a better and richer back-up, Chen Bishi decided to get rid of Mr. A by setting him up on a blind date with Zheng Xiaoguang. Zheng Xiaoguang, who did not know what she was up to, accepted her “kind offer”and went on the blind date.
Upon seeing the guy, Zheng Xiaoguang immediately recognized that he was Mr. A who was widely known in her company as “the most miserable back-up of the year”. Mr. A said that he had expected to meet Chen Bishi on this date. In the end, they parted grumpily.
Fortunately, not many people knew about this thing. Otherwise, Zheng Xiaoguang would have become a laughing-stock. To her surprise, Chen Bishi made light of this thing and never apologized to her. This girl even continued to sweet-talk Zheng Xiaoguang into helping her with her work.
“Well, maybe Miss Chen Bishi’s brain is somewhat different from that of a normal person. I should let it go now. Despite that, I won’t go on any blind date that she arranges for me again.”
With this in mind, Zheng Xiaoguang immediately refused Chen Bishi’s offer by saying, “No, thanks.”
“Okay~” Chen Bishi drawled affectedly. “Come on, Xiaoguang. Please help me out. You don’t have a boyfriend and don’t need to date tonight~”
“How do you know that Xiaoguang has no boyfriend?” Yang Sisi rolled her eyes and continued, “Xiaoguang said that she can’t help you today. How do you know that she’s not going to date tonight?”
“What? Do you have a boyfriend now, Xiaoguang?” Chen Bishi extended her fingers in surprise and looked at Zheng Xiaoguang in disbelief as if she had heard about some sensational news story which said that Halley’s Comet was going to hit the Earth today.
Zheng Xiaoguang was quite displeased with Chen Bishi’s attitude. She complained inwardly, “I’m not ugly and I don’t have any bad habit. Why can’t I have a boyfriend?”
Therefore, she seriously said to Chen Bishi, “Yes, I have a boyfriend, and he’s going to pick me up for a date later.”
“Really? I see.” Chen Bishi said while frowning grumpily. She twitched her mouth and went back to her seat.
During the rest of the day, Chen Bishi always treated Zheng Xiaoguang coldly.
Soon enough, it was afternoon. When everyone was ready to leave, Chen Bishi suddenly came up to Zheng Xiaoguang with a smile on her face. “You said that your boyfriend is going to pick you up when you knock off. Can you take me to meet him, Xiaoguang?”
“She probably thinks that I was lying just now and wants to find out the truth by herself,” thought Zheng Xiaoguang.
“He’s not your boyfriend. Why do you have to meet him?” Yang Sisi retorted with icy disdain and stood between Chen Bishi and Zheng Xiaoguang. She turned her head to give Zheng Xiaoguang a “you-can-leave-now” look.
“Huh, it looks like that Yang Sisi thinks that I was lying too. She’s trying to help me out…”
She felt touched and somewhat awkward. Chen Bishi refused to back down and said, “Come on, Xiaoguang, why can’t you let me meet your boyfriend?”
