Chapter 12 - The First Time We Met

Wolf looked out of the car window at Cheng Mo and shook his head at the man's antics. After a few minutes, Cheng Mo had gathered himself and he sat back into the car, starting it stiffly.

In between driving,he kept glancing back at Wolf,confused and worried if he should satisfy his curiosity.Finally unable to control himself,he asked,"Why,When and How, Who,Why?"​​

Wolf,who had gotten back to work,looked up at the abrupt questions and raised an eyebrow.

Shaking his head in ecasperatuon at his clueless boss, Cheng Mo explained,"Why did you get married suddenly?When did you get married and how did you get married?Who is the girl?Why did you choose those flowers?"

"I chose blue daisies and iris because they symbolise purity and friendship.The girl you are asking about is Xie Eun, she is General's daughter, We got married the way people normally do. Married yesterday and regarding why..That is a long story.."

Since Wolf had answered all his questions, though,in reverse,Cheng Mo was satisfied for a few minutes. So the lady boss was called Xie Eun and she was the General's daughter. Maybe that is why the boss had come here..to get married!

The lady boas must be extremely beautiful...no his boss was not so vain as to fall for a beauty..but she must be special to have even been able to get those flowers -pure friendship, how cute of his boss!Cheng Mo suddenly felt proud of having a boss like that..

But the why was yet to be answered. Clearing his throat, Cheng Mo asked,"I am all ears for listening to the long story.."

Wolf looked up at Cheng No as he cocked his head to the side. Apparently, his assistant had forgotten himself in his thirst for information.In a silky voice, Wolf questioned his assistant,"Cheng, do I look like someone who likes to regale stories or be a storyteller?"

(Author:Don't worry Cheng Mo!I will tell the long story!"

The temperature in the car seemed to suddenly fall below sub zero as Cheng Mo realized that he had over stepped his boss' boundaries. Gulping, he muttered a,"No...if you told stories then the listeners would probably have nightmares..." but loudly cleared his throat and then concentrated on driving. What his boss had not told him he would find out, given some time! Cheng Mo's eyes narrowed at the thought of doing some investigative work...all for the sake to serve his boss better of course.If he found about the lady boss and made her happy then boss would be happy automatically.Satisfied with his plan, Cheng Mo concentrated on the job at hand finally..

After reviewing the work for a while, Wolf arrived at a decision and called the acquisition team in him company and gave out the orders and the plan to proceed.

Finally, Wolf rotated his neck stretching out the kink and stiffness that had come from sleeping on the chair for a night.

The stretching motion caused him to wince in pain as the muscles we're loosened but that pain, unexpectedly brought a smile on his face. It seemed Xie Eun was bound to be a pain in his neck..literally..

Wolf thought back to the first time he had met her and the resulting pain he had been in after that encounter..

He was sixteen then.And a typical angry teenager.Or maybe more angier because he had been alone in the world and no one to vent to. General Xie had caught him stealing some gadgets and caught him by the scruff to question him and he had angrily retorted that he had two options to steal or sell drugs if he wanted to fill his stomach and he had chosen the lesser evil.Wolf had expected that he would be thrown into the jail and even been happy about it.After all there his belly would be full.everything else he could handle..But instead of handing him over to the police the man had brought him to his army station and thrown him into the kitchens,"Work hard and you will not have to worry about an empty stomach. And he had worked hard for a year.Wolf had learnt everything the head cook had to teach and was even able to make food for everyone in the camp. As a reward, the General had brought him back to his farm and let him roam free. A city rat like him had never seen so much greenery and so vast fields. He would wake up every morning and run amok the farms taking in everything.And then one fine day he came across her-Xie Eun..He would have missed seeing her but she saw him and called out to him,"Excuse me!Hey!Hey you, Brother tall!"

Wolf had looked around to see where the shout was coming from but saw nobody.

"Look up!" came the sound..

And there he saw Xie Eun, hanging upside down with her knees bent around a tree branch, her hair in two pigtails swinging wildly as she waved at him. Amused at the girl, Wolf had ambled over to her and heard her greet him casually,"Hello, I am Xie Eun..Who are you?" Wolf had been too stumped to talk to someone who thought that talking like this was normal and not been able to say anything to the girl.

When he continued to stare at her, Xie Eun had simply rolled her eyes at him and said,"Are you mute?I was just being polite.Can you please step forward for a minute?"

Not thinking for a minute about the strangeness of the request he had stepped forward and the next minute, the girl had let go and landed on his shoulders with her arms around his neck...which had then in turn ruined his balance and caused him to fall face-first into the dirt with her safe on his back...

That first impression of Xie Eun brought back a big smile in his face almost dazzling Cheng Mo who had casually looked up at that moment.
