Chapter 301 - 302: How To Let Go-I

A week after Xiao Yun conversation with Liu Yan Hui, Xiao Yun went to the hospital to have the sutures removed from the wound of her leg. After the process, the nurse in a white robe helped to bind the wound on her leg still with a cotton bandage.

The doctor pushed the glasses resting on the bridge of his nose for the frame to fit at his ears and say, "That is all for today Ms. Yu the sutures may be off from your leg right now but please remember not to strain your leg also do not force yourself to push yourself."

"Then I wouldn't need to drink the medicine anymore doctor?" she asked when the nurse cut the bandage and secure it with a very small pin.

"Yes, you wouldn't need one but in case if you feel any pain please come back for safety." After she was done, Xiao Yun picked her dull brown coat and rested it over her arm as she exited the door. Right beside her door was Hi Gu Yan standing with a grim expression.

After the day she was wounded she had noticed Hi Gu Yan to be more stern and quiet than usual. He was already the type that talk less unlike Tian Yi but this time he talked only for a few bits and the reason must be his guilt for leaving Xiao Yun alone in danger that resulted to the wound on her leg.

Even though it wasn't his fault as Xiao Yun was the one who requested him to go for a moment he still mulled over the fact he could have asked someone else than leaving her right there at that moment.

"If you put that expression on your face people will think you are a grim reaper who visited the hospital to take souls." Said Xiao Yun with a smile.

"Boss," Hi Gu Han subtly moved his eyes down at her leg which was covered with the white bandage and knitted a frown. "I apologize Boss that day I shouldn't have left you alone. Because we were in CEO Wang's house I let my guard down even though I shouldn't have." he trailed, guilt filling his black eyes.

Before Hi Gu Yan could say the rest of his words Xiao Yun spoke, "And you want me to punish you?"

"If that will pay off for my mistake. Whatever punishment you give I will accept." Hi Gu Yan readily said as if he had imagined the scene many times in his head.

"Do you think I'm a sadist that will punish people for excitement?" she saw Hi Gu Yan's troubled expression at the choice of her words and she gave him a sigh, "I have told you it wasn't your fault does this how you work before?"

Hi Gu Yan pulled a small smile on his lips, "If I did any mistake my life wouldn't be on line." He worked with his neck on line thus he had worked his life off without a single

mistake to protect himself but he had failed this time.

They had walked over from the spot where they had been standing and passed the long corridor which divided into two parts when Xiao Yun stopped her steps and turned her face after his words.

"Then you should now remember. Your boss now is me and not some old man in dire need of money. I have no likes in seeing someone punished especially when I know far better my subordinates are thinking well of me. You are a human not a slave to be work to death and mistakes are inevitable." Her words brought a gentle smile on Hi Gu Yan's face. "Instead of apologizing I would prefer if you work harder from now on." She gave a grin and had the man bent his back out of his politeness.

It had been a week after her break though it was felt long to her, it was short if one count as a holiday. Her car took a stop as soon as they arrived in front of Azure's main building. As she hadn't spoke to anyone of her arrival, it could be said that today she came as a surprise though in fact she came on a whim, unable to do nothing when the Spring Festival Competition was around the corner.

Expecting to see Chuan Huan Jing's face and his eyes a little tears like a puppy, Xiao Yun giggled to push open the door but the first thing she heard was a loud scratching yelling.

"I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO BE THIS KIND OF A PERSON!"

Xiao Yun took twice to hear his voice but she didn't have to because she knew well whose voice it belong to. It was Chuan Huan Jing who was angrily screaming. For a person as gentle like him to shout that could only mean something intolerable had happened.

She the caught a sight of Chuan Huan Jing jerking the collar of the shirt Zhu Yi Nian wore. Zi Gong looked surprised, holding his hands stiffed on air but he wasn't exactly helping Zhu Yi Nian as his eyes held the same fury that Chuan Huan Jing was boiling over.

"What kind of person you expected me to be as, then?" a smirk stopped at the corner of Zhu Yi Nian's lips.

"A sc.u.mbag but even sc.u.m is better than you!" Chuan Huan Jing was hanging on the last thread of not wanting to swing his fist to Zhu Yi Nian. He still had to participate to the fashion competition and he can't afford punching the man here to be banned from participating to the competition due to harming another designer.

His fist clenched firmly and he gritted his teeth as he say, "Boss Yu has done her best and trust us with the future of the shop but instead of paying back her kindness you betrayed her!"

Zhu Yi Nian knitted his brows and threw his head back, bursting into a laughter that his side began to hurt, "Do you think by paying back kindness I will be able to achieve my dream?!"

Chuan Huan Jing gave him a hard glare, "You shameless piece of ***!"

"Yes I am shameless but it is better to be **ing dog licking a woman's shoes!" Zhu Yi Nian retorted at the same speed Chuan Huan Jing spoke at.
