Chapter 43 - Evil smile

Ling Yue couldn't take a glimpse of Xi Jian in this week. He suddenly went out of town the next day after the incident at the restaurant. Ling Yue was forced to bury her irritation longer before she could vomit it at him.

In this past week, Ling Yue had to deal with Shi Yuanzhi who suddenly handed over many files to her. Ling Yue had to go back and forth to the location or administrative office to just check or deal with the law. She believes this was related to Mo Yini. Since An Ruan's woman confronted her, Shi Yuanzhi seemed to side with Mo Yini. He even called her because an incident in the canteen. What's wrong with her?

Ling Yue let them flood her with work, at least, she did not have to always see them again in the canteen. Sometimes, she brought her work to home, which made her brothers frowned.

They all knew Ling Yue moved to King Empire. Because of this, they wondered why Ling Yue's work was so piling up, especially Ling Feng. "Did they bully you?" he asked.

"No," Ling Yue answered dismissively.

"I'll make a call to your boss," Ling Feng chuckled irritably, get ready to call Xi Jian. But Ling Yue beat him.

"You don't have to, I can handle it myself." Ling Yue refused. "By the way, grandfather's party will be held this week, is dad going home?" Ling Yue changed the subject. Since returning to City M. Ling Yue had not contacted his father again.

"Yes, he will come. He always asks for you." Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. "Haven't you contacted him though?"

Ling Yue shook her head. it would be better not to contact his father, if he heard her voice, he might come the next day and whine for Ling Yue to return home with him. Her doting father really liked Ling Yue's cooking. That was one of the reasons her father had become more attached to her. "I have to go, see you at party then!" Ling Yue kissed Ling Feng's cheek and left for the office. She knew Ling Feng would leave home for four days to another city. And Ling Feng couldn't let himself parting with his sister like that so he gave her a ride.

"I'll drop you of," he said.

When lunch time arrived, Ling Yue heard that their boss had arrived. Oho, it's payback time! Ling Yue left her office and headed to the CEO's office. The two Xi Jian secretaries didn't see her pass so Ling Yue just walked in. Xi Jian sat on the couch facing a few documents, his suit was just draped beside him, leaving him with a white shirt and a vest matching his old gray pants. His hair slightly out of order and his face looks tired. But when he saw Ling Yue, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Looks like an evil smile in Ling Yue's eyes.

"So, Mr. Xi, I came here to collect your lunch payment at that time." Ling Yue walked in toward him.

Xi Jian leaned his back relaxed. "Why?" he asked.

"At that time someone told me he wanted to buy me lunch, but in reality that person just left and robbed me without I know it." Ling Yue felt like she was being played with at the time.

Xi Jian threw the document in his hand, his lopsided grin made Ling Yue's frustration grow bigger. "Do you have a proof?"

Ling Yue's eyes widened. So he wants to play like this? Alright, the two can play this game.

"Listen, Mr. Xi, you ..."

Ling Yue did not have time to finish her words. Her shoes stumbled on the carpet, causing her body to fall forward and bump into Xi Jian. Her head successfully hit Xi Jian's head. They both groaned and rubbed their heads.

"Ughh it hurts."

"You! I didn't expect your empty head as hard as a rock!" Xi Jian gritted his teeth.

"What? You didn't realize that your big head was made of stone?" Ling Yue raised her face and looked straight at Xi Jian.

Without her glasses and looking this close, Xi Jian swears he felt something beat inside him. "And you use this as a hair tie?" Xi Jian chuckled slowly hiding his awkwardness. His hand pulled something in Ling Yue's hair. A pencil.

This woman uses a pencil as a substitute for hairpin. Jeez. Xi Jian did not realize his act retrieving that stationery made Ling Yue's hair fall loose on it. Ling Yue's fragrant hair entered his nostrils.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yue asked annoyed.

They looked at each other and said no more. Xi Jian felt Ling Yue's body weight above his body feel right. His left hand on Ling Yue's waist maintaining the woman's position also felt right. Xi Jian felt his throat tighten.

Part of him wants to throw the woman away, while partly rebelled telling him to pull her head and crush her lips.

Ling Yue looked at the man's face in front of her clearly. There was no pimples. His eagle eyes like pulled Ling Yue into it and dropped her into a bottomless hole. While his lips ...that kissable look, Ling Yue held back so that her fingers did not touch there.

The sound of something falling pulled Ling Yue and Xi Jian back. They both turned their heads. Like deja vu, Xi Zihao and Bai Xu stood in front of the door, gaping.
