Chapter 82 - Pastry

"What's wrong Mr. Bai?" Ling Yue glanced at him as they walked away.

"Mr. Xi needs something right now and asks you to deliver it." Bai Xu chose his words carefully.

Ling Yue's forehead furrowed at Bai Xu's words. "Why don't you deliver it yourself?"

"I have another urgent work that is more important. There's no one I can trust besides you who can go to Mr. Xi." Bai Xu looked at her hopefully. "Please Miss Ling."

"What is that?" Bai Xu looked at her confused.

"What should I delivering?"

"That ... that ... pastry cake! That's right! Pastry cake!" Bai Xu felt his back break in a cold sweat. They were in the canteen and nothing crossed his head except food. "I already ordered it. You just have to pick it up and deliver it." Bai Xu said his thanked, good bye and hurriedly left before she could say anything. He reached into his cellphone then called the bakery that his boss had subscribed to and placed the order in that instant.

Ling Yue headed for the place according to the address Bai Xu sent. This was a standard bakery, not too big or grand. But Ling Yue saw that there were many people choosing bread or relaxing while enjoying their snacks. Ling Yue just knew there was a bakery like this. Well basically, she didn't really know about the places here.

Ling Yue immediately got Xi Jian's order and headed for the hospital without knowing what was waiting for her.

Xi Jian tapped his finger. His jaw was pressed tightly. He seemed to be ready to spit fire from his nose.

'What should he do? punish her? or punish those employees?'

Xi Jian didn't realize his imagination was starting to make no sense. His mind began to stop twirling when he seen his long awaited guest appear behind the door.

Ling Yue went inside without difficulty. The bodyguards outside had seen her a few times with Xi Jian, so they just let Ling Yue walk in without being searched. She looked at Xi Jian and the words 'husband' appeared in her head. Ling Yue shook her head to get the word out of her mind.

"Uhmm ... did you wait long? Sorry, I was absorbed in looking at this bakery." Ling Yue walked to the sofa and put her pastry package on the table. "Let's eat quickly while it's still warm. There really sells fresh bread." Ling Yue continued her pleasantries without looking at Xi Jian. She suddenly forgot that here only delivering orders, it looks like she deliberately went there and bought it herself.

Xi Jian's piercing gaze didn't leave her. "Who are you talking to?" he sat on the patient bed but Ling Yue's eyes did not travel to him at all. Hearing Xi Jian's word, Ling Yue raised her head and her eyes collided with Xi Jian's beast-like eyes watching his prey.

"W-what?" Ling Yue stammered.

Xi Jian could not help but remain silent. He stood up and heaped his body weight on his uninjured leg. Ling Yue who saw what the man was doing hurried over to him. She gripped Xi Jian's arm. "What are you doing?" her voice sounded worried. She pushed Xi Jian to sit down again. "Where are you going? I will call the nurse for a wheel ch--" She was surprised when Xi Jian sneak his arm around her waist.

"Where have you been?" Xi Jian gazed at her sharply. "I told you your job was here. But you haven't appeared in three days."

Ling Yue felt all her blood gather on her face. She tried to support herself by holding onto Xi Jian's shoulder to breaking free. Despite being injured, Xi Jian's grip really strong.

"I--I have a lot of work in the office, so I can't come here."

"Does that matter include chatting with other employees?" Xi Jian snickered.

Ling Yue stopped struggling and looked at him. "Of course! How can I work without interacting with others?" Xi Jian's words sounded stupid.

"You can only interact with me. I'm your boss." rather than realizing her current position, Ling Yue was more focused on Xi Jian's utterances which were increasingly out of mind. "That can't be! My scope isn't just in your circle."

Ling Yue realized as Xi Jian tightened and pulled her closer. "and ... let me go! What are you doing?"

A noise from outside made both of them turn their heads together. A minute later, a guard entered, seeing Ling Yue and Xi Jian's position, he lowered his gaze.

"A woman claimed ... uhmm ... close to you ... forced in. What should we do?" the guard said it carefully, doubt appeared in his heart. If the woman outside claims to be their master's woman, then who is now in his boss's arm? He has never seen his boss with a woman even outside of business. He was more certain that the woman inside was more rightly called the woman's boss, even though her being was still a little...weird.

"I don't have someone like that, just kick her out." without asking what her name was, Xi Jian gave his order. Ling Yue used this opportunity to escape his embrace.
