Chapter 89: Thin Layer of Ice

The head manager also covers his mouth. If anyone knows what they are talking about Wang Li Lei or if the news reaches Wang Li Lei's ears, they would never be left unscathed. 

"CEO Wang's lover?"

Seeing his friend finally tugging his hook, Director Han continues "Yes, it seems that Wang Li Lei's lover is a man!"

"What?" In a surprise, Director Zi exclaims through the empty hall. Quickly, Director Zi looks at the empty hall checking whether anyone heard his loud voice.

Director Han also helped him observes the hall for a few seconds before continuing. "Yes! And it seems that his lover is very handsome that many female employees here also fall for him!" 

"Rea-" Before he could even finish his words, a cold aura fills the hall, freezing everything including their mouths and breaths for a moment.

Seeing the charismatic young man who looked older than a blizzard, the two people gulp before giving their greeting with a 90-degree bow. 

Director Qu and Director Han instantly regret themself for gossiping in the middle of Wang Corporation, to top it all their topic was about the Demon Lord itself!

The two looked at each other perplexed. 'Did CEO Wang heard what we said?'

Oh No!! Perhaps being fired by Wang Li Lei would be their last honor...

However, unlike their thoughts, Wang Li Lei knits his brow from their words before briefly swept his eyes before walking off to his office. 

Although it was only for a second, Director Han and Director Zi could see Wang Li Lei's expression darkens before he leaves.

They look at each other still in doubt.

Did the demon lord had just spare their lives? Or was he actually very furious?

Not wanting to experience Wang Li Lei's anger brushes off toward them, the two directors took their tail and dash out Wang Corporation HQ. 

As Wang Li Lei arrives at his room, he sat on his Demon Lord's throne-like chair and crosses his legs with a dark cloud filling up his eyes.

Jang Hyun could feel his threatening aura while brewing a coffee for Wang Li Lei. As he places the cup in front of Wang Li Lei, Jang Hyun gathered his courage and ask. 

"Is there anything wrong, master."

Wang Li Lei shifts his eyes toward Jang Hyun and ask with a steady tone. "What do you think of Xiao Yun's appearance?"

"..." Jang Hyun gulps once in a moment of pause while consulting with all the other cells in his brain, trying to find a solution for the hardcore question from his master.

Is this a trial?

Jang Hyun felt as if he was standing on a thin layer of ice, one small careless remarks would surely drown him today...

If he truthfully answers that young lady Yu is beautiful... He wasn't sure of Wang Li Lei's answers. But knowing just how easily Wang Li Lei gets jealous, he could be very sure of one thing. Wang Li Lei would definitely treat him as one of the 'Pest' around Xiao Yun that he needs to eliminate.

But if he replied with a 'No' then... That would mean that he is mocking on his master's beloved appearance.

Then... Does this mean, whatever he answered the outcome would be the same?

Jang Hyun suddenly felt as if he was being judged in 7 trials over 49 days... However, instead of 49 days, he only has 30 seconds left to answer Wang Li Lei's question...

(According to the laws of the Afterlife, all deceased must go through 7 trials over 49 days divided into 7 sin categories: betrayal, violence, filial piety, murder, indolence, deceit, and injustice. Once the deceased clears all 7 trials, he can be reincarnated and start a new life.)

Wang Li Lei narrowed his eyes slightly toward the silent Jang Hyun. "Have you finished thinking?" Wang Li  Lei dragged Jang Hyun forcefully from after his one minute time to consider his answer was up.

Jang Hyun gulped. If it comes to this... he only has one answer!

Jang Hyun straightens his posture and looks upward with an answer. "Yes, master young lady Yu is very beautiful that most of her classmates in Quinlan High School had fallen in love with her at first sight!"

Jang Hyun's answers remain anonymous and neutral. With this, he was able to say the truth without being labeled as 'Pests that need to eliminate' by his master.

Wang Li Lei silently tap his finger before adding. "What about Xiao Yun's male disguise?"

Just as the poor secretary was about to exhale in relief, he was once again faced with another dangerous trial.

"T-That is... Yes. The young lady's male disguise was very excellent and her behavior fit perfectly like a normal handsome young man. Most of the receptionists and some employees of Wang Corporation HQ also confess to having a romantic feeling toward h-..."

In a flash, Wang Li Lei subconsciously emits a freezing air that was able to decreases the room's temperature from each of Jang Hyun's words... 

Feeling the chilling aura, Jang Hyun's survival instinct instantly stopped his lips. He looked toward his angry master with an oblivious face.

'The master is angry? Why...? Did I say something wrong?...' Sweats started to drip from his forehead.

"Romantic feeling..." Wang Li Lei mumbled.

'Eh?' Jang Hyun look up toward his master. Did he hear it wrong? What did the master point on...?

Jang Hyun thought for a moment.

Ah!! So that is what is was about?!!

Finally, understanding Wang Li Lei's reason for anger, Jang Hyun rubs his chin. 'The master is not angry but jealous!! Not only to the male but also female around the young lady!!'

For some reason, Jang Hyun started to feel pity for his own master to has such a splendid fiancee who can seduce both gender's heart obliviously...

It would seem that Wang Li Lei would need to be aware of both men and women around Xiao Yun...

A few minutes without moving, Jang Hyun glance at his watch before taking his courage and speak. "M-Master, we have 20 minutes left for the flight." 

Wang Li Lei nodded, stood up from his seat, and elegantly put on his coat along with a pair of black gloves. 

With his still clouded eyes, Wang Li Lei gaze at Xiao Yun's picture in a beautifully carved picture frame before striding off toward the lowest level of Wang Corporation HQ building.

At the school---

Finally, after the school's bell rang loudly ending the fourth period with break time.

Xiao Yun stretches her sore back and tidied up her books before walking toward the door. At the same time, two people gathered around her instantly after the bell rang.

Nie An looks toward Xue Xiu Yong who stood next to her in front of Xiao Yun and rolled her eyes bluntly. 

Xue Xiu Yong didn't bother her with his usual anger and instead focused on getting attention from Xiao Yun with an ear-to-ear smile that shows off his sharp canine teeth.

Nie An, "Xiao Yun let's eat together!"

Xue Xiu Yong at the same time also asked the same thing with a loud voice that echoed through the noisy classroom. "Darling Xiao Yun, let's eat together!"

With his words echoing through the room, the entire noisy class turned silent in a flash. Some even choked from their drinks or food, stunned while looking at the scene.

Xiao Yun's classmate looked at each other before raising the same question in sync. Chatters quickly filled the classroom.

"T-T-That Xue Xiu Yong just called Xiao Yun darling!!??!" 

"What I didn't hear it wrong, right?!! "

"N-No!! I heard it too! Xue Xiu Yong clearly called Xiao Yun 'Darling Xiao Yun'!!!" 

"Does that mean, those two are in a relationship?!!!"

"Perhaps that's true!! Oh my, what a beautiful combination!!"

"Woah!!! Oh my God, how romantic!!!"

Xiao Yun's mouth becomes agape from Xue Xiu Yong's unbending confidence and nearly spits blood from anger.

'This b*stard!! He clearly knew I have a fiancee and still dare to seduce me in front of everyone?! Is he planning to kill me???!'

If it wasn't because of all the classmates in the room, Xiao Yun would have to chop this useless horny puppy to a pulp!

Xiao Yun laughs awkwardly, opened her lunch box before loudly answer. "Classmate Xue, did you possibly lost a bet? That was pretty funny! Hahahaha-"

Saving herself from a pinch, Xiao Yun praised herself for her wittiness.

Xue Xiu Yong lifts his brow before questioning Xiao Yun's nonsensical answer. "What are you sa-"

Before Xue Xiu Yong could finish his words, Xiao Yun forcefully jabs a piece of fried chicken wings from her lunch box to his mouth and silenced him.

Xue Xiu Yong coughed harshly from the fried chicken wing on his mouth and frowned to Xiao Yun with a drop of tears glazing his eyes in pain.

"Y-You...!" Xue Xiu Yong held his pale neck and cough while glaring.
