Chapter 133 - Not What She Aimed For!

Han Yue Xiu swallowed as she faced Song Yi's wrath.

It was true that she made Song Yi relied on her, but that was only because she wanted to be indispensable to the company. She only wanted to stay in the company for a long time and she did not want to give her boss any reason to fire her.

Back then, she had to bear with and his demands. Doing overtime, coming to work even though it was weekends, sacrificing her holidays and her off day. She loved her job but soon found that her boss can be overbearing. After some consideration, she wanted to test Song Yi and the company whether she was important to the company.

That was why she decided to quit her job and let her boss come and coax her to come back to work. It was a gamble, but she had won.

Since her boss valued her, Han Yue Xiu decided to negotiate with him so that he will no longer bully her at work with overtime and such. In the end, Song Yi even agreed to give her an increment.

Song Yi tightened his grip on her hands, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. His tone softened and the anger in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with something else that Han Yue Xiu could not understand.

"You can't leave me," Song Yi continued. "Han Yue Xiu, the company can't function without you. And I cannot be without you."

Han Yue Xiu continued to stare at her ex-boss for a long time. Her eyes wide and her mouth agape. However, once she noticed that Song Yi had moved his gaze to another part of her face, Han Yue Xiu quickly retracted her hands, took a step back and covered her mouth with her hands.

She was afraid if he decided to kiss her again. The last time he had said that he liked her, Song Yi had kissed her as if he was trying to prove something.

Every time Han Yue Xiu recalled that kiss, her face would blush and she subconsciously bit on her lips. When she realized that she was reminiscing his kiss, Han Yue Xiu had the urge to knock her head against the wall.

If only she could lose that fragment of that memory from doing that…

Suddenly, Han Yue Xiu started to wonder that perhaps, something has gone wrong with her trick.

Because of her scheming, she had accidentally made Song Yi realized that both he and the company need her.

Han Yue Xiu froze at the realization.

What with this development? This was not what she aimed for!

Han Yue Xiu's mind continued to whirl to look for the relationship between her plot to make Song Yi relied on her so that he won't have a reason to fire her, with him liking her and kissing her.

No matter how long she thought about it, Han Yue Xiu thought that it was unrelated.

It's fine if he found that she's a good employee and wanted to keep here in the company for a long time. But why does he have to like her? Even at this point, Han Yue Xiu could not figure out what she had done for him to like her.

"You," Song Yi spoke after a long silence between them. "Han Yue Xiu, you're not going to say anything?"

Han Yue Xiu raised a hand to stop him from taking another step towards her. "Hold on. I haven't thought things through."

"What do you have to think about? I like you and I wanted to go out with you. What else do you need to think about?"

"It's fine if you want me to continue working for the company, but why do you have to like me?" Han Yue Xiu accidentally spoke her mind. "Why do you have to-" she thought about that kiss again and bit her lips.

"What's wrong with liking you?"

Han Yue Xiu was exasperated. "Why do you want to like me?"

Song Yi's frowned. After a minute has passed, he then answered. "I don't know. But I just like you. After you decided to resign the first time, I realized that I cannot bear when you're not around and this is not just because you're my employee."

Han Yue Xiu really wanted to curse herself for causing this trouble.

"I'm sorry. But, Mister Song, I like working for your company, but I don't feel that way towards you."

"Why not?" Song Yi asked. "I'm a great catch. I have a good look and a good temperament. I can make a lot of money and you won't have to lift a finger. Even if there are a lot of women trying to get my attention, Han Yue Xiu, I only like you."

Han Yue Xiu had goosebumps. She never realized that her boss can be a narcissistic person. He might have a good look and can make a lot of money, but his temperament was definitely not that good!

"Why?" Han Yue Xiu snorted. "Mister Song, you have been torturing me with overtime and denying my holiday. Do you think I would like you after you bullied me at work so much?"

"Didn't I promise to stop giving you overtime?" Song Yi asked. "Can't you just bully me back?"

Han Yue Xiu was rendered speechless by his words. Her head started to ache and she was tired of talking with him. But, it doesn't seem like Song Yi was planning to leave until he got the answer he wanted. But, what he wanted to hear from her was something that she could not give.

"I just didn't feel that way to you, alright? I have never thought about dating or relationship," Han Yue Xiu sighed with frustration. Right now, she really wanted to cry. Han Yue Xiu did not know how else she can explain to Song Yi that she did not feel that way towards him.

Song Yi stared at the girl in front of him for a long time. If Han Yue Xiu looked carefully, she might see the disappointment in his eyes. "If you like me, then will you return and stay with me?" Song Yi spoke in a lower voice.

Han Yue Xiu was starting to get impatient. Right now, all she wanted was to get rid of Song Yi. "Well, if I like you," she pressed on the word, 'if'. "Of course, I will stay with you."

"Then, isn't if fine if I just make you like me?"

"Huh?"

Song Yi continued to stare at the girl in front of him. Suddenly, there was a glint in his eyes. "Han Yue Xiu." He inched closer to her.

"W-what?" Han Yue Xiu suddenly had a premonition.

"I've decided. I will make you like me."

"Huh?"

Can someone tell her what was going on with her ex-boss?
