Chapter 158 - 157: Poor Secretary Stuck In Peeling an Orange

Wrapping another hand on the back, he pulled her waist closer. Pressing his lips on the girl, nibbling the upper part before leaving a bite on it. The feeling wasn't something that any of the two used to have. The yearning and desire for each other, a new step to their relationship. 

His lips came down, trailing from her lips to stop at her neck, kissing it slowly before sucking the spot. Xiao Yun winced for a moment, sighing her wanted to mutter that it hurt, but it was a different feeling of hurt. 

"Have fun." Finally, he ended the morning greeting with a kiss on her forehead.

Xiao Yun's hand was still on the spot where he had left a hickey on it and nodded. "You too. I heard that you have a new project, good luck."

"With you cheering me, I'm sure everything will go well. Let's go for breakfast now." Xiao Yun replied with a nod to his words. They both walked down to the dining room while holding hands. Some of the maids who saw their hands being locked as they talked, squealed from the romantic scene. 

Xiao Yun's personal maids who were in the middle of cleaning her room across Wang Li Lei felt a feeling of achievement and proudness from the scene. 

The breakfast ended fast and before Xiao Yun went to school with her usual car, Wang Li Lei called her name and halted her by placing one of his hands. "I'll drop you to school."

Xiao Yun agreed quickly, "Okay."

The drive to the school wasn't far, but it wasn't that short either. Xiao Yun peeled some oranges and shared it with Wang Li Lei beside him. He looked at the nimble fingers that peeled out the oranges and noticed her fingernails turning orange from the juices. He pulled his handkerchief and her fingernails, attaining her attention from the side. "What's it?" 

Even though she asked, Xiao Yun defenselessly let Wang  Li Lei do whatever he wanted silently. "Your fingernails are turning orange." he stopped and took the oranges from her hand which was still in the middle of its peeling. "I'll do it for you."

"But your fingernails will turn orange." She stated a matter of fact and thought that as the CEO of the cooperation it would be bad if there is any flaw on him, not to mention an embarrassing orange color on his fingernails. "I'll be fine, no one would care of my orange nail anyway." She said pulling the orange back from his hand that had turned firm on his words. 

"That would be fine. I can wash it later." Xiao Yun was about to say something back when Jjang Hyun spoke from the seat beside the driver. 

"I can do it for you, young lady." Xiao Yun thought for a moment and agreed to take away the orange from Wang Li Lei's hand to Jang Hyun. 

"Thank you."

Jang Hyun shook his head. "It's nothing big my lady, please wait for a moment." as he turned back his face to the front mirror, Jang Hyun felt an eye narrowing on his back. Without even glancing back, Jang Hyun knew exactly his master's angry gaze. 

Stuck in bewilderment, the poor little secretary couldn't understand why his master would get angry from him lending a hand on peeling the orange which fixed the whole problem. 

Wang Li Lei drew out a faint breath. He knew that other than his works, Jang Hyun couldn't read the atmosphere of him wanting to help Xiao Yun. Having a capable secretary is good, but having him in the same car wouldn't be desirable as his secretary have some good timings that disturb him. 

Xiao Yun took back the oranges from Jang Hyun and passed some to Wang Li Lei. Xiao Yun had learned her lesson on not directly passing the orange to his lips and instead placed it on his palm. He glanced down at the orange that kept on being passed to his palm and spoke, "About the problem that your company has."

"The fabric dealer?" Wang Li Lei nodded to her words and continued, "I heard there are good fabric dealers in Hangzhou. You should be able to find some good ones in Lavender street." Wang Li Lei pointed out the street from his phone to the girl. 

Xiao Yun noted down the name of the street that Wang Li Lei gave and thanked him with an extra orange from her hand. "Thank you."

"You're welcome to ask me more." He smiled back gently taking the oranges to his mouth. 

"I'll do that." She replied, her tone added some shyness. 

The driver parked the car a little farther from the school and Xiao Yun who received a kiss on her forehead hopped out of the car in a dreamy feeling to the nearest washroom and bandage her hand in one hand before meeting up with her friends in the designated place. 

Zhi Ling Ling's hair was different from the usual. Her light brown curly hair giving volume to her delicate face. Without thick glasses to cover her face and the adorable sweatshirt, many people had their eyes on the beautiful new girl that suddenly appeared to attend the school trip. Beside her, the person who was responsible for the makeover, Nie An had a wide grin at anyone who saw Zhi Ling Ling. 

Xiao Yun spotted the two standing in front of the bus and waved her left hand to have their attention. "Xiao Yun!" Nie An ran a little step to cut the distance between them followed by Zhi Ling Ling. 

"Good morning." Xiao Yun greeted to see Zhi Ling Ling with her beautiful appearance and hand clenching to the hem of her sweatshirt. "Woah." Xiao Yun gasped. She knew that Zhi Ling Ling was crowned as the hottest model in the past life but with her body proportion and mesmerizing look that reminded her of a doll, she clearly was in a different level of beautifulness. "You're so pretty!" Xiao Yun praised thoughtfully. 

Nie An nodded frequently, "I know right, although I'm the person who dolled her up, I can't even believe myself to make such a gem! No offense, Ling Ling dear. But I never expected your face ultimately beautiful!" 

Zhi Ling Ling covered her flushed cheeks from the praises that  Nie And and Xiao Yun said. Nie An continued with a hand pointing to the air. "And you know what's more, her face now is a face without makeup! Not even a single face product!" 

"Really? Her skin is so smooth." Xiao Yun replied in admiration. 

"You guys are praising me too much. Xiao Yun is more beautiful than me." tugged the hem to Nie An's sweatshirt. 

Receiving praise from the future number one model Xiao Yun waved her hand over her face. "Me? No, no, no." -'You're the number one model, a few years later people would definitely agree with me that you're the most beautiful person!' Xiao Yun thought to herself. Behind them, male students had been ogling to see Zhi Ling Ling's face, some even pull out their phone to secretly take pictures, but other than Xiao Yun, the two girls didn't notice them. 

Suddenly from behind, Xiao Yun felt a shadow looming. Turning her head in a hurry, she found Xue Xiu Yong standing behind her. The three of them glanced at him who was looking at Xiao Yun's hand with a frown. "Is your hand hurt?"

Once again, Xiao Yun felt a pang on her heart. She knew that Xue Xiu Yong must've been blaming himself for hurting another person, but if Xiao Yun didn't do that scene, who knows what the bully would do. The best plan was to make a big scene that was enough to attract the teacher's attention and gave a warning to them that the bully could do something more frightening thing than only sticking box cutter blades under her desk. For a few times, although it was faint, she always sensed someone wanting to push her down from the stairs. 

"It doesn't." Xiao Yun replied truthfully, but Xue Xiu Yong took it as Xiao Yun being overly tough to herself. 

He frowned and spoked again. "You should learn more on how to rely on someone." turning his back, he left the place as he didn't want to attract any more attention than needed. 

Xiao Yun lifted up her brow one-sidedly and gave a lopsided smile. 'What happened to him? Relying on someone else...' Xiao Yun quietly dwelled on the words that Xue Xiu Yong's said. 

"...We should go now." Nie An's word faded back in, calling Xiao Yun with a tap to bring her back from her contemplation. Xiao Yun turned her head a little still on her thought before nodding. "Yes. Let's go now. Which bus will we be using?"

Nie An walked a few steps further to rub her chin with a long hum. "Sixteen, I think. Let's give a check with the class president." The three agreed and walked over to the class president. 

Behind them, Ji Gu Na standing all the way while mocking to Xiao Yun's shameless appearance. Today, she was planning to do something before getting to the bus, but the teacher had become more vigilant. Every time, without Xiao Yun's own knowledge, they kept on eyeing anyone that seemed mysterious. 

"Senior Ji." Su She In called her up from behind in a timid voice.
