Chapter 8 - She Blushed

"Umm... Madam.. You're.." Ming Yue didn't know what she should to do--- to tell or not to tell? She was afraid to say that Feng Jiu is reading the report upside down.

Feng Jiu did not respond and was still looking at the paper as if she was really reading the contents. She did not hear Ming Yue's words. Ming Yue struggled internally.

'Should I say it or not? She won't kill me if I tell her... right?' Ming Yue wanted to strangle herself. 'Ayeee... It's very hard to earn money..' *sob*

Ming Yue wished she could get a sick leave. She wanted to go to the hospital for a mental checkup. 'Working with Madam is really stressful and not good for my health.' She steeled herself, took a deep breath and opened her mouth to inform Feng Jiu once again.

"M-madam. Madam, you are reading the report upside down."

Feng Jiu looked at Ming Yue and then on the paper she was holding. She found out that she was holding the report upside down. Maybe that was the reason why she was not able to understand what she was reading a while ago. She coughed and rotated the folder as if nothing unusual happened. After checking that it was no longer upside down, Feng Jiu closed the folder and placed it on the table, acting indifferent as if she was not caught by her secretary.

Looking at Feng Jiu's action, Ming Yue was utterly shocked. 'Madam is really sick!!!'

If it was the Witch CEO she knew, Feng Jiu would've lashed out onto her. But she did not. Feng Jiu just acted as if nothing was wrong.

"All of you can go home early. No need to accompany me here. Just make sure to arrange everything for tomorrow's meeting and don't forget to inform them to speed up the next project for the Western market. Tell the design department that I will personally check the layout and blueprint of our project in Greece."

Feng Jiu's words snapped Ming Yue out of her daze. After hearing that they could go home early, Ming Yue wanted to breakdance. 'Hallelujah! Is the heaven finally recognizing all my efforts and decided to award me?!'

All smiles, Ming Yue answered, "Yes Madam."

Feng Jiu did not answer. She just stared at Ming Yue as if she could hear the latter's inner thoughts. Ming Yue immediately closed her mouth, suppressing the happiness inside her heart. She bowed and practically run towards the door.

Feng Jiu was puzzled by Ming Yue's action. 'Aaah? What did I do? Why is she running like crazy?

"Sir." Chen Hao looked at the man who was sitting at the back of the car.

"Have you checked everything?" MinFeng, the man who was staying at Feng Jiu's place was currently reading the report Chen Hao submitted.

The report consisted some detailed information regarding Feng Jiu's personal data. All the information from birth to current date was meticulously written in every pages of the paper.

"Yes sir. Miss Feng is the CEO of Feng International. She's the granddaughter and the only direct relative of Feng Xuan Tian, she's the Heiress of Feng Family. Both of her parents died when she was young in a car accident. She took over the company after she got her master's degree in Business Management at the age of 18. She's a prodigy. She made Feng International the leading company in their line of business after she succeeded it. She successfully brought Feng International into the highest peak and let Chairman Feng retreated in the background without any worries. Since then, she left the Feng Household and lived her life independently...."

Assistant Chen coughed as if he wanted to continue speaking but stopped midway because of hesitation.

MinFeng stopped reading the report and closed the folder. Although he did not say anything, Chen Hao could tell that his Boss, his Young Master was still waiting for his complete report. Chen Hao suddenly felt nervous. He did not know whether to continue or not. Half a second later, he inwardly sighed and said, "There are also some--- some rumors regarding Miss Feng."

MinFeng stared at him without any emotions.

"Miss Feng was infamous for being a Demoness-- The Witch CEO of Feng International. She was labeled as a tyrant, indifferent and antisocial boss within the company. She doesn't go to social gatherings and her circle of friends in the business industry is basically zero." Chen Hao observed MinFeng's facial expression. But he could not read any emotion on his face.

MinFeng was drawn into deep thoughts after hearing Chen Hao's words. He lowered his head and continued reading the report. He could not help but recall Feng Jiu's attire this morning. It was very different from what she wore the first time he met her.

'My cute little puppy is tyrant, indifferent and antisocial?' He suddenly thought of Feng Jui's actions towards him. That girl always stared daggers at him. The way she always blushed from his sly advances made his heart swell from sweetness. Thinking about her, he couldn't help but smile which was not able to escape from Chen Hao's eyes.

Assistant Chen's eyes widened when he saw MinFeng's lips were curved upwards. 'Good heavens! This is a miracle!! Boss suddenly smiled!'

Chen Hao couldn't help but stare and swoon over MinFeng like a lovestruck girl. 'Ayeee.. Boss' smile almost made my heart skip a beat.'

MinFeng's deadly stare brought him back to his senses. Chen Hao immediately blinked his eyes to erase the adoration that was currently displayed on his face.

"Keep your eyes. It's disgusting."

'This is clearly bullying the weak.' Chen Hao wanted to cry but lacked tears to shed. *sob*

"How about 'that' thing?"

Chen Hao's face suddenly stiffened.

"This..."

"Speak."

"There's no clue regarding about the person Boss is looking for. I believe only Chairman Feng knows who that person is. Even Miss Feng is completely oblivious of her future husband's identity. Other details are inside the report, Sir."

"And also," Chen Hao was not yet finished, he added, "Miss Feng seems like-- seems like she hated.. *cough* she hated the Eldest Young Master of the Lu Family for planning to expand the Lu Corporation into their market territory."

MinFeng's eyebrows wrinkled, his eyes suddenly narrowed as if he thought of something.

"This subordinate heard her assistant told her officemate that Miss Feng Jiu wanted-- she wanted to stab him 100 times for messing with Feng International." Chen Hao's expression looked like he ate 50 kilos of lemon while saying those words.

'Eldest Young Master of Lu Family? Isn't that boss? She wants to stab him? Killing her future husband is a sin! Ahh!'

MinFeng froze but he did not say anything.

"Continue to gather data about the person she will marry. Also, I will not go the company for the meantime. Have the succession move to a later date."

"But sir. What if Chairman Lu--"

"Tell him that I just got here after so many years. I want to enjoy my stay here in Beijing before paying attention to the company."

"Yes Sir. This subordinate understands."

After Chen Hao left, MinFeng closed his eyes and smirked. 'This stupid woman hates me? She wants to stab me a hundred times? Hao! I'm not Lu MinFeng if I won't return the favor.' He grinned evilly as he thought of how he would punish her later tonight.

Feng Jiu decided to drop by at the grocery store to buy personal necessities and food ingredients before going home. She was waiting for the elevator when she heard two people speaking with each other.

The girl was crying, and her friend was comforting her.

Feng Jiu really didn't like gossiping, but she couldn't help but hear their conversation.

"Rong'er, stop crying. Didn't I tell you not to trust that guy? See? Look what happened to you!!" The girl in red was very angry. Her hands were both placed on her waist as she spoke to her friend.

"Wu wu wu.. I didn't know that he was just using me for fun. I love him but he just treated me like a toy." The girl who was crying suddenly stroked her abdomen as if she was caressing a great treasure.

"Rong'er, always remember, the first one who falls in love is the loser!!"

'The first one who falls in love is the loser?!' MinFeng's face suddenly appeared on Feng Jiu's mind. She shuddered. She didn't know but she suddenly felt a bad premonition in her heart.

'I won't fall in love.' Feng Jiu crossed her heart and vowed.

"Lin-jie, what should I do? I'm pregnant."

The girl cried harder. Her eyes were already swollen to the point that Feng Jiu could not tell whether her eyes were open or not.

"What?! You didn't use any protection during sex?! Rong'er!! How irresponsible are you?? If you engage in sex every day, of course you will get pregnant! But why didn't you use any condoms or pills? Because of a moment of idiocy and carelessness, it resulted to your unwanted pregnancy!"

Feng Jiu suddenly froze. She was rooted on the floor after she remembered that she had been rolling on the bedsheet with MinFeng without any protection. She didn't notice that the opening of the elevator and the two women who were talking were already inside. Even when the elevator's door closed, leaving her behind, she was still rooted on the floor, unable to move.

Her mind was filled with worries.

'Sex everyday...'

'no protection...'

'no condom...'

'unwanted pregnancy...'

When Feng Jiu suddenly thought of how perverted her new 'housemate' was, she suddenly felt distressed. Feng Jiu did not know how she got there but she arrived at the corner where contraceptives like condoms and diaphragms were piled and stacked in bulk. She just found herself holding a box of condom, standing conspicuously at the center of the aisle.

She was contemplating whether to buy a box of condom or not. She was standing there for almost 15 minutes, unsure what to do. One of the salesladies couldn't endure anymore and decided to approach her.

"Ma'am, how may I help you?" The saleslady smiled while looking at Feng Jiu. Not hearing anything from her, the saleslady continued, thinking that her silence was her signal for agreement.

"What flavor do you want, ma'am? There are banana, apple and other flavors available."

'It has different flavors...?' Feng Jiu felt astonished and amazed.

"We also have super thin and glowing in the dark ones. We have different varieties that could satisfy both of you and your partner. When it comes to elasticity and durability, I recommend this brand. When you use it, you will not worry even if your partner goes rough. It will not get torn easily."

Feng Jiu suddenly became speechless. Not able to remain stoic and indifferent, her face became as red as a ripened tomato. She blushed hard.

Author's Side Note:

I'm planning to write a new novel after this one. It's about revenge and rebirth.

I hope I can finish it.
