Ling Yue slowly opened her eyes. The first sight she saw was Ling Huansheng's worried face like that time.

"Hey," she smiled, wearily. "How long?" she asked.

Ling Huansheng gave her a cup water. "Three hours, I suppose?"

Ling Yue leaned her back on the bed headboard. Ling Huansheng found it a second time. She managed to hide it all this time except at the first year after the incident and now. "Don't put on a face like that. I'm fine and not dying, yet." Ling Yue tried to throw a joke.

Ling Huansheng gave her a long lecture. Ling Yue only nodded and nodded until she remembered where she was before.

"Shit! Am I relapse in front of Xi Jian?" She asked frantically.

Ling Huansheng scrutinized her. He crossed his arms on his chest. "He called me."

"Whaaatt?" Ling Yue rubbed her face. Somehow feel frustated.

"Are you two dating?" he looked suspiciously.

"NO!" She glared at him. "Where is he?" Ling Yue looked around but didn't find that man.

"I sent him away," he said nonchalantly. "Where are your glasses?"

Ling Yue held her face as if she were holding a sunglasses handle, but there was none. She remembered wearing it to Xi Jian.

"Take me back to the office" Ling Yue threw a blanket covering her and got out of bed.

"No. You have to rest. That company won't go bankrupt just because you have a day off."

"Bring.Me.Back.To.My.Office.Ling.Huansheng!" She said fiercely. "Now!"

Ling Huansheng massaging his temple. He knew he would never be able to win against this woman.

Xi Jian was stunned when he found Ling Yue in front of his room. He was just about to head to the meeting room with his factory subsidiary's agenda.

"What are you doing here?" he knitted his eyebrows.

Ling Yue looked at him confused. "Work?"

"No need. Just leave for today. Return to the office tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," he said firmly and walked past her.

'Why do these two people say the same thing?'

"I'll take the day off if I want, Mr. Xi." Ling Yue replied as she did to her brother, only a bit soft. She doesn't want to be treated like a sick person. Even though she was really sick. Mentally, not physically.

Xi Jian exhaled. This stubborn woman could be his death. Xi Jian stood in front of her.

Ling Yue's heart pounded as she felt Xi Jian's hand gently stroke her head.

"Are you sure?" his voice was full of worry and concern.

"Uhm...I know myself better than anyone else."

Ling Yue only stared at the gold silver tie clip on Xi Jian's chest. She did not dare look directly at this man's eyes that looked ... soft?No. That just illusion. The monster who dared to rob her in broad daylight staring at her with affection? Hell no! You can say the sun rises from the west then.

Ling Yue didn't move or remove his hand. His body scent calmed Ling Yue's frivolous heart from being too surprised to face this kind of Xi Jian.

Bai Xu who silently stood behind his boss turned his back. He gave a signal to the people around him to stay away when they looked curiously at the two people behind him.

Bai Xu had never seen his boss full of expression like today. For five years, what he faced was Xi Jian's bored and serious face. Bai Xu did not know the depth of the relationship between this two people, considering that he had just learned that they had known each other for a long time. Maybe a beloved childhood friend? Anyway, if this woman really would become Mrs. Xi, Bai Xu had to treat her the way he treated Xi Jian. He couldn't treat her like a friend if he didn't want Xi Jian glaring and launch a death laser at him again.
