Chapter 11：I Want to Take a Stroll Outside

Wu Lina observed him. He went to the window first and touched the curtains that were blowing due to mild breeze coming from the outside. He caressed them for sometime and came back to the table where the phone was. He leaned against it and listened to it till the song finished.

He had a relaxed expression on his face by the time the song finished… He came to her and said, "I want to take a stroll outside."

"Of course! It's a lovely day and beautiful sunny weather. I'll accompany you if you like…" she probed.

"Okay…" he replied.

Together they strolled out in the garden. The breeze was mild. She asked him whether he could share that song with her. He took her number and shared it with her via blue tooth.

While Yang Xinyu was walking, Wu Lina sat down on a bench to check her phone. She was so engrossed reading her emails that she didn't notice Yang Xinyu's occasional glances at her. She finished reading in fifteen minutes and looked up to check on her patient. Yang Xinyu was looking at her. She beamed, grinning from ear to ear. A camera clicked… she was captured in his phone…

They came inside the room after about half an hour. It was only eleven in the morning. He went to lie down on the bed and Wu Lina sat on the chair near his bed. Rest of the day went by with usual activities prescribed by the doctor, which included meditation, playing board games and having meals without fail.

He called his secretary to send him the office work.

***

Yang Xinyu had two secretaries, Bo Xilai and Zhou Zhili. His secretary, Bo Xilai, a young man of twenty-seven, was handling work related to engineering and manufacturing side of the Yang Corporation while Zhou Zhili handled work related to marketing and sales.

Bo Xilai was startled when Yang Xinyu called him. He asked Chairman Yang Ming-Chang if it was okay to send Young Master Xinyu office work.

"If he is willing, then you must. I am happy that he has asked for it. However do not send him piles of documents. Start with something less important and easy on mind. Send him the report on our investment opportunity in Japan for now," instructed the chairman.

"Yes Chairman," replied Bo Xilai.

Bo Xilai collected that report from the junior employees and went to the hospital to give it to Yang Xinyu.

Upon arriving in the room he saw that Yang Xinyu looked better. His ghost-like pale face was filled with color and he looked better. He appeared relaxed and confident. Bo Xilai gave him a beaming smile.

He also noticed a lovely, young nurse sitting by his bedside. He was caught by her charm and was spellbound. He stared at her longer than usual and started walking towards her when his spell was broken by a harsh coughing sound coming from Yang Xinyu.

"Sorry… err… I mean, good afternoon CEO Yang. Here are the documents you asked for." He quickly placed the documents in front of him, and then turned to look at the nurse.

"Hi, I am Bo Xilai. Nice to meet you! Are you married?" he asked stupidly! He realized that he had asked a stupid question, so he immediately bit his lips.

But he continued, "I am CEO Yang's secretary. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll be there. I'll be there even if you need anything in the middle of the night!" Bo Xilai was now in fact contemplating on how to get admitted to this hospital in order to get close to this nurse.

Wu Lina laughed, "Hi, I am Wu Lina and I am not married. I am only twenty-one and I don't intend to marry for another five or six years at least!" she continued to laugh.

"Oh, its okay! I can wait!" What? Again that stupidity!

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to say that. You are beautiful!" he again blurted!

'God, where is my mouth to brain filter? Why am I uttering nonsense?' Bo Xilai looked away from Wu Lina and made a funny face!

Wu Lina was having ball of a time! She kept laughing at his utter nonsense.

Yang Xinyu, on the other hand was filled with extreme jealousy which was coupled with the embarrassment his secretary was causing. A touch of coldness shrouded his eyes. He grabbed his pillow and threw it on Bo Xilai's face.

Bo XIlai lost his balance a little but recovered immediately. His mind went blank at this sudden outburst. He sensed that Yang Xinyu was about to lose temper. The atmosphere in the room became chilly causing Bo Xilai to shrink and Wu Lina to stop laughing. "I'm sorry CEO Yang. I'll take your leave now as I have something important to handle in the office", he said.

He turned and looked at Wu Lina and continued, "Can we meet again?"

Wu Lina started laughing again, and Yang Xinyu shouted, "Scram!"

Bo Xilai cringed and ran out of the room!
