Chapter 402 - Never let any bee fly over it

Back in the country, Chiboa, Chen Yujian was walking back and forth in his house. His brows were furrowed, clearly showing the lines of worry on his forehead. "No, no, this cannot happen? We have to find her soon. Though tough, she is still a woman and has gone missing. It will only be better if we search her as soon as possible", he repeated the words again and again as he continued his movements in the room.

Looking at him like that, his assistant, who has been standing there all this time could not help but sigh his breath out. It has been hours and still, this man was not accepting the facts straight. Now how should he explain to make him understand?

"Young Master, I don't think we can do anything about this. On your orders, we have already tried everything. We have asked the police to look for her and, on our request, they did try to search for her. But since Ms Li Xue has left the country on her own consent, there is nothing they could do to help us now". His assistant tried to explain the things again but in however way he tried, the young boy was just not in his mind to understand the things.

"No, no that won't do. We should call and check with them too. If things had been that simple then my uncle would not have called me to ask any unusual things around her. We should try our best to trace her". Chen Yujian said as he picked his jacket up to head out. But was suddenly halted when a woman's voice called him from the corner.

"Aye, I never knew that my Yujian has grown this manly? When did this happen and which woman are you running to save?"

The young boy looked at the door only to find her mother standing near the entrance, leaning slightly on the wall with her hands folded at her front. Though she was near her middle age, her looks were blatantly falsifying her years. With her hair till her shoulders and body still lean and slim, she looked just a few years older than her sister, Feng Yi Lan.

"Madam Chen!" the assistant greeted, bowing his head slightly down in respect, the moment his eyes caught the glance of the lady.

Feng Yi Ran nodded to the pitiful assistant with a polite smile. She knew all fine, how much his son must be torturing his soul. "I did not get any answer yet. Who is the lady for whom my son is running to become a knight?" she asked looking back and forth between her son and the assistant.

"Mama, why are you here at this time and can you please stop using the spare key of my place to enter like this", Chen Yujian said, taking a pause to let out a huff of disappointment. But then suddenly remembering, he continued to not waste any time, "Since you are already here, suit yourself as you want because I won't be able to stick around you today. I still have some work and will head to it, right away". His words and movements, both in semi- frantic mode.

Saying his words, he was about to run past her mother, but just when he was to cross her, his ears were grabbed to hold him back.

"Aye, you are going to leave your mother hanging here? And do you think I will let you?" She said, pulling her back in front of herself.

"Ah … ah Mama, it's hurting. Leave my ears. Ah, ah", he yelped in pain as his eyes got closed in agony.

The woman's eyes went to stare at the assistant as her hold remained firm at her son's ears. "What's going on here?" she asked. And the assistant instantly paled. All this time he has been ordered to report everything about the Young Master to his mother. But from changing Ning Meiling as the supervisor's head to till date, he has not reported any single detail to the lady.

Not to question, there will be definite damage on his account but anyhow he would have to soothe the situation now. "Madam, it's about Mr Feng Shufen's girlfriend. Young Master Chen is getting a feeling that she has been missing, so he was on his way to search her as she has also been his Head Supervisor". He finally reported, not finding any explanation better than this.

The woman's eyes instantly shined on the mention of her young brother. But something felt amiss to her. "Wasn't Yujian's supervisor Ning Meiling? Is my brother dating her? How come I cannot believe that? That lady cannot be my brother's choice".

"Mama, who is talking about that showoff piece?" Chen Yujian interrupted, and the next moment, a wincing pain struck him as his ears got twisted more. "Ouch! Mama, can you please let go of my ears now. I am not leaving anywhere."

"I will let it off only when you get to know your manners. Didn't I say that it is a bad manner to interrupt an elder's words? Can't you see I am talking about your Uncle here?" The woman said, pressing a nonchalant, casual smile on her lips.

"I was not interrupting your words, Mama. I was just letting you correct your knowledge. I am not working under Ning Meiling but under Chef Li of Sweet Delicacy. She has been best in her work, better than any other chef under the label.

Feng Yi Ran's brows instantly got raised at her son's words with some astonishment. Did she just hear the tone of respect for someone in his son's words? That was something not normal.

Though she could see the favourable change in her son's attitude, she decided to not voice it out at the front. "Oh! I see. So, are you saying that your Uncle's girlfriend is that qualified? I will go to meet her sometime then". She said with some understanding of her words.

Of course, she has to go and look for her someday. Piquing her brother's interest as well as disciplining her son, was not some easy task that any woman could do. There must be something more to her personality that was making her curious.

But aye ... Why did she still have got no air of it? Was her little brother playing hiding the treasure game with her? No, not fair! She was about to ask her son about it but till when she could turn to ask him …

"Mama, please suit yourself at the place, I will be back soon", Chen Yujian said, already running away.

"Aye, why do I feel that this boy's feelings are something different." The mother started squinting her eyes at the disappearing figure of her son. But then cl.i.c.k.i.n.g her tongue in disapproval, she added. "Nevermind, my little brother knows all well to keep his treasure all protected and secured. He would never let any bee fly over it".

The assistant, who was still standing at the side, could only be dazed at those words. In his life, he has never heard any woman calling his own son as a fluttering bee. Can he even say anything to it now?

"Aye! Why are you still here?" Feng Yi Ran suddenly asked when saw the man looking at her in the daze of his thoughts. "Shouldn't you be following my son?".

Getting snapped out from his trance of thoughts, the man quickly nodded as he frantically ran out to follow the young master in his futile attempts.
