Chapter 58 - 55: To The Downfall-4

"-iss"

" Miss-" A fading voice calling for her, wake her up like a soft tapping on her cheeks. Xiao Yun's eyelashes flutter as it opens.

She yawns, only after a moment of rubbing her eyes, she could wake up. Against her eyes, a pair of eyes looking straight to hers. With how sharp his features and how clear his pale face, Xiao Yun went back to her daze, ' Am I still dreaming? Wow...his eyelashes are so silky...'

" Uhm...Thank You? " Yeon Jun's lips warmly smiled.

Finally awake, Xiao Yun blankly looks at him, " Uh...Did I possibly say it out loud...?" Her cheeks redden to her ears.

" Pfft- " Yeon Jun's eyes curve softly, " Young miss, you fell asleep just now. Have you woke up? It's late already. I was afraid you fainted and called the doctor, he said that you are lacking sleep and nutrition. "

" Uh...Mn, yes... Thank you..." Xiao Yun answered. Just as she was about to feel her back, her eyes widened, she looks around her and gasps.

Carried by his hands, she realized the place she was sleeping on was not a chair...rather she was carried by him!

Immediately her hand covers her face clumsily, her lips began to stammer, " Uh...Mister, I can walk by myself...sorry to bother you. "

Yeon Jun shook his head as he descends from the stairs, " Mn, please wait after we walk down the stair. And, No... I'm the one who should be apologizing for bothering you this afternoon. "

Xiao Yun waves her hands, " Ah! No, no, no, anyway, how is the person inside the room?"

Even though he still holds a faint smile, Xiao Yun could sense his sorrowful eyes, " He is my best subordinate, he is fine now. "

"Really? " Yeon Jun's face always had a faint warm smile, even when he was anxious. Because of how warm he is, Xiao Yun couldn't read his expression, whether he is annoyed or not. However, in her eyes, he doesn't look like a bad person, especially after watching him worried about his subordinate getting into an accident.

Similiar expressionless face, that reminds her of him, ' His atmosphere is similar with Li Lei, but instead, Li Lei is a bit colder...' his sad expression hovered through her eyes making her heartache dig even deeper through her heart...

His eyes widened with her question, he holds his breath for a moment and sighs, " Does it show on my face? "

Xiao Yun taps her chest and hid her pain with a smile, " Well, you look really... sad just now. "

Yeon Jun chuckles, " Young miss, would you mind telling me your name? "

Xiao Yun points at herself, " Me? I'm Yu Xiao Yun."

Yeon Jun, " Y-yu Xiao Yun? "

Xiao Yun, " Yes, but if it's hard for you to call me that, just call me Yun...What's your name? "

Finally descending the last staircase, Yeon Jun walk to a nearby chair and softly, he lay her down on a chair. " I'm Choi Yeon Jun, you can call me either Yeon Jun or Jun, whichever easier for you."

Xiao Yun repeated his name softly, " Y-Yun Jun? Yeon Jun? "

Yeon Jun silently gazes at her expression that keeps on changing calling for his name, unknowingly his smile became softer. He glances at his watch, " Yun, it's already late, don't you need to go to your hotel now? "

As if someone throws cold water to her, Xiao Yun's expression turns blank, " Oh, No!! " Quickly, she took her phone and check her phone history which was filled by countless of miss-calls and chats from her parents and Xing Fu.

She taps her phone and brought it against her ears, after a while of 'dduu' a loud, full of worry voice called her name, " Xiao Yun!! Where were you!! Why you didn't take our call? Have you arrived? Did anything happen? Quick, tell me!! I'll go there right now?!!"

Loud voice from her phone was Xing Fu's loud voice, Xiao Yun pulls her phone away from her ears for a moment. She carefully rubs her ears, waiting for Xing Fu to finish his endless questions.

It took 5 minutes for him to finally calm down, she sighs thinking of how to explain her situation without making Xing Fu more panic, " Ge Ge, I've arrived, right now I'm...in a hospital. " Swiftly after she says ' hospital ' her hand pulls away her phone from her ears even further.

Xing Fu's face turns ashen, " WHAT?! WHERE ARE YOU!!! I'M GOING THERE NOW!! WHAT HAPPENED TELL ME!! HEY XIAO YUN!! YU XIAO YUN, ARE YOU OKAY??! OH GOD, THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU TO-"

Xiao Yun shyly turns her face toward Yeon Jun, she bowed her head mumbling ' sorry ' without a voice and gave an awkward smile. Yeon Jun nods and smiles understandingly and move away a bit further.

Once again Xiao Yun brace herself and explain her story while enduring countless of questions and loud worry screams from Xing Fu.

Standing straight, Hyun looks worriedly at the doll-like Li Lei. With courage, he woke him up from his daze, " Young master? "

Li Lei still look afar at nothing, repeatedly Hyun calls him for awhile. Li Lei turns his head toward him and tonelessly asks Hyun, " What? ".

' I've been calling you for a while, master!!! ' is what Hyun wants to say, but he didn't dare to do it, so he turns his head down toward the tablet on his hand.

" Young miss Yun, she is in Korea now and I've told them to continue protecting young miss, I've placed 2 bodyguards for her. "

Hearing Xiao Yun's name, Li Lei's still eyes lighten, still in doubt of what he heard he asks, " What about Hong Yan Xun? "

Hyun shakes his head and disappointingly answer, " He...married miss Qu. "

A fierce glare glint from Li Lei's eyes, he repeated each word, " Married, Miss Qu? "

Hyun could notice the rare trembling in his words and nod silently.

" ...Married " Li Lei repeated the word mumbly. He thought, ' Then, what's the point of divorcing her then?' The grip on his armrest tightens along his chaotic states of mind.

Li Lei rest his head on his left hand however the black still-less eyes of him seem to glitters " Korea...Why? "

Hyun answer cautiously, " Young master Xing Fu asks her to go on a holiday. "

"..."

Li Lei tap his armrest for a while and waves his hand away, ordering Hyun to return. Hyun quickly return, deep in his heart, he felt happy to see light glowing on his master's eyes.

The few weeks after the divorce, he looks far more menacing like a blade ready to cut down at anything. But, at the same time, he looks more vacuous as if he had detached himself from the mortal's world. Sensing the glimmer on his eyes, Hyun could finally relax.

But...Why? Even though he is happy that his master could finally see a ray of hope, his heart feels heavier? It felt as...if he had just pushed his master to a storm.

Hyun shook his head, ' I hope nothing bad happens to master and young miss Yu. "
