31 Glory Manor

Ji Yang caressed her hair so softly like petting a little rabbit afraid he might scare it away.

Anna felt safe in his embrace she was very scared earlier. She almost got a mini heart attack. Ji Yang could hear her rapid heartbeat in the tranquil-dark basement.

Few seconds passed and Anna calmed down. Realizing she is still in his embrace Anna steeped back and wiped her tears.

Ji Yang immediately started missing her warmth and unique fragrance.

"Are you alright now?" Ji Yang asked softly. Anna nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Anna glared at him.

"Some supposedly stupid woman of mine doesn't know how to answer call in her mobile phone so I came to pick her up." Ji Yang mocked. There was hint of teasing.

Anna immediately checked her phone it has 18 missed calls and 15 unread text messages. Anna had kept her mobile in her silent mode, it was a usual habit of her to do so whenever she was studying or doing important stuffs.

Knowing how much pissed Ji Yang might be Anna nervously smiled at him.

"Do you know what time is it?." Ji Yang's gaze turned cold.

"8:45.." Anna held her head low.

She looked like a kid who ate ice cream without her mother's permission and is being punished for it.

"Let's go." Ji Yang sighed.

"What are you doing?" Ji Yang questioned when Anna opened her car door.

"Going home." Anna said in 'duh' tone as a matter of fact.

"We are going in my car." Ji Yang pointed to his Aston Martin.

"Then what about mine?" Anna raised her eyebrows.

"Cao Lang will take care of it." Hearing his name mentioned Cao Lang came forward and took the keys from Anna.

"Ms Yu why did you scream earlier?" Cao Lang was curious.

"Uhh... I heard employees saying that there are ghost here in basement." Anna felt uneasy she scanned her dark surrounding and gulped.

Ji Yang:"...."

'Ghost, seriously?!'

Cao Lang regretted asking it and soon drove away Anna's car.

In Ji Yang's car, Anna's mood was dull affected by the previous event. Her hands were sweaty. Ji Yang glanced at her and smiled. He remembered Anna kneeling down and asking Jesus to show mercy on her, as he thought of it now it rather looked funny.

He couldn't help but suppress his laughter at her pitiful look earlier.

The soft chuckle and few cough to suppress his laughter caught Anna attention. She already guessed it why he was laughing, she was extremely annoyed.

"Stop it." Annoyance and Irritation is filled in her tone.

Ji Yang laughed and patted her head. Anna slapped his hand away and glared at him.

"As if you're not afraid of ghost." Anna murmured grumpily.

In Yu Mansion Yu Kong was worried sick, Anna was not picking his calls. He knew she's working overtime but it was getting late. So he tried calling her again.

"Hello." Anna answered after a long time thinking of a reason to tell him.

"Hello, Han why didn't you answer my calls are you alright? " Yu Kong's asked in concern.

"Dad I'm fine, my mobile was in silent mode sorry." Anna apologized.

Ji Yang glanced at her.

'Woman I was waited for you for so long and no sorry or thanks to me.' Ji Yang sulked.

The atmosphere in the car turned gloomy. But Anna didn't notice it.

"Okay come home soon." Yu Kong sighed.

"Dad I told you I'm not going back there. I'll stay in my apartment, don't force me." Anna's voice instantly turned heart-rending. Ji Yang lightly raised his eyebrows. Anna didn't try to explain him and he never asked it.

After a drive of good 30 minutes they reached Glory Manor which is located near the northern suburbs.

The view was quite different from what Anna had expected. As the greatest number one businessman she thought he would live in a very extremely expensive extravagant big mansion. But it was a beautiful modern Manor.

It would take three minutes of drive from main gate to the main door of the manor. The architecture was modern continental design. It's a two story manor, the lower level has a living room, open kitchen, dining, gym, guest room and service room, the second level has two bedroom, study room and a family room. It has a beautiful swimming pool which can be seen through high ceiling glass windows near the living room.

The whole manor is simple, elegant and screamed rich. Every material used in construction is of very high quality. The art pieces, decorates and furniture are one of a kind.
