CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE Chapter 212

212 [Bonus chapter] My Ugly Boss part.Hua BaiYing, was a twenty-one year old very smart young man, well, could say he’s smart but sotis he was too innocent to sound stupid, tall thin, white, and smooth skin, a soft delicate face, long hair tied up to his waist, a pair of big round eyes, with curly eyelashes, which he had to hide behind thick glasses he wore every day to avoid mischievous glances, though it couldn’t escape the gaze of LuoXiang, his boss in the office he had only entered the last few weeks.

LuoXiang is the boss, an authoritarian boss who knew he could order him to work non-stop into the night just to keep him company at the office, don’t know what made the crazy twenty-six year old boss so happy to bully him, and pulled BaiYing who was supposed to be one of the finance staff in his office and beca his personal assistant, who had to sit and work for him in his office, right in the director’s office!

That person deliberately put a table complete with all electronic equipnt in the corner of his office just for BaiYing to work.

And when that wasn’t enough, on one sunny day the apartnt building where BaiYing rented was burned to nothing, poor BaiYing who was hanging around and had no choice but to stay in the office all night before finding a new place to live.

One early morning, his boss suddenly arrived, it was still so early, what was that person doing by coming so early to his own office? And for sure, LuoXiang caught BaiYing sleeping on the sofa in the employee room, with his innocent face without wearing his thick glasses, it was very pleasant to see, at least, LuoXiang has a chance to kiss his lips, well, kiss BaiYing’s very sweet lips which he had longed for, but, a startled BaiYing woke up and spontaneously punched his boss in the face so hard.

“Ah!!”

That incident made BaiYing almost lose his job, not because LuoXiang threatened him, but when the incident happened LuoXiang stepmother, YinHua, ca in and saw it with her own eyes. To avoid BaiYing being fired from the company, which was his only job at the mont since his family wouldn’t allow BaiYing to go ho before he could pay off the family debt which could cost his entire life to collect the money, LuoXiang had to lie and say that BaiYing was his lover, that, obviously made LuoXiang’s stepmother even more dumbfounded, just imagine, no matter how cute BaiYing is, he is still a boy!

However, it actually made YinHua think, if with her husband’s beloved son’s mischievous act, maybe one day his father could kick him from the heir seat and give his son a chance to ascend, so, for that, YinHua could only agree to it.

But, that’s when BaiYing’s days began to live like hell, being bullied by his boss, without he being able to refuse it, or else he would report BaiYing and make him go to jail, imagines what will happen to a poor employee like him against a very rich and powerful person like his boss, he can rot in prison! Just like trash.

.....

“No!!”

He had no choice, but to do all the skits, beco LuoXiang’s personal assistant, not just that, he also had to obey when LuoXiang asked him to live in his apartnt with him, otherwise, back again, LuoXiang issued his death warrant.

“Heh”

....

Ting!

Pass the lunch break, BaiYing was standing in the elevator almost asleep with a box full of docunts in his hands, he almost fell asleep when his officemates Lan’er and Fan’er ca in.

“Ying’er, how much did you bring with you?”

Lan’er’s voice awakened BaiYing who was about to fall asleep.

“Eh sis Lan’er, um, just finished lunch?”

Lan’er nodded.

“Yeah, we just had noodles downstairs, um, have you eaten?” Lan’er asked.

BaiYing thought, has he eaten or not?

His busyness made him lose track of ti since his boss was so annoying that he tried to run away as far as he could, even doing anything that could shorten his ti in the room with that pervert, imagine what that person would do when he was in the room always close- close to him, suddenly stood behind him while he was typing sothing, even got him drinking water, he was afraid that the drinking water had poison so he didn’t dare to drink it, that terrible person really ruins his life.

“Eh, Ying’er isn’t hungry yet, maybe after this is done, hehe” But just before he finished his words, his stomach’s growling cover his voice.

“Grookk”

Lan’er and Fan’er covered their mouths holding back laughter, the boy looked awkward because he was caught lying.

“Hehehe, it’s because this box is so heavy”

“Ying’er you have to eat, look at your skinny body, owh, how can you survive working like this without eating much, poor boy,” said Lan’er.

BaiYing just smiled awkwardly, it goes without saying, his hands and legs are almost torn apart because of working non-stop, being an assistant director is very tiring, even though his boss gives him a much higher salary than being a regular finance staff, but this can make his life shorter.

“Heh”

....

Arriving at the director’s room, BaiYing pushed the door with his shoulder while carrying a large box of files in his hands, went straight to his desk. In the director’s room at that ti, apparently, his boss was still busy chatting with his staff while having lunch together, there was a BeiYau his personal assistant who was sitting with him and also ShinYa, from the IT departnt downstairs, they were probably discussing the developnt of a new room upstairs which would later be used as a multifunction room for online etings and also for staff’s events.

LuoXiang glanced at BaiYing who looked exhausted, who was taking files out of the box onto his desk, he sat up straight and glanced at BeiYau and ShinYa to end their discussion.

“We will continue this afternoon, or Bei, you just prepare the data I asked for then we can continue our discussion, tomorrow morning”

BeiYau nodded.

“Ready boss”

BeiYau and ShinYa headed out of the room, before leaving ShinYa still had ti to pat BaiYing’s shoulder.

“Ying, this afternoon we will play basketball, don’t forget to co, I already reminded you in your text ssage but you haven’t read it,” said ShinYa, BaiYing glanced at his cellphone, he forgot to charge it since the last ti he knew it was almost empty, no wonder that his boss hasn’t chased him all day with many orders.

“Oh yeah, my phone is off, sorry I forgot to charge it”

ShinYa smiled, clapping BaiYing’s hand.

“This kid, just, don’t forget to co, okay? It will be so fun”

BaiYing nodded.

“Eh, yes sir, I’ll make it try later”

LuoXiang approached.

“Ahem!” deliberately let out a loud noise, and glanced at ShinYa for that person to release his grip on BaiYing’s hand.

“Sir Shin, does, my YingYing’s hand is sothing that you can keep holding on to?”

The man was so forthright, he glanced at ShinYa very sharply as if ready to pounce on him if he didn’t let go of his grip.

ShinYa realized that, who in this office doesn’t know that the only person who can hold BaiYing as he pleases is his super fierce big boss.

“Hehehe sorry boss, em, then see you later Ying”

After ShinYa ca out, LuoXiang looked at BaiYing for a while, making the young man lowered his head lazily dealing with him.

“Why didn’t you co back to the office when it’s ti for lunch? Have you eaten already?”

BaiYing raised his head, looking at his boss’s usually expressionless face.

“Em..” he touched his stomach, he was really hungry, since this morning he hasn’t touched any food yet.

Just because he doesn’t want to see his boss’s face especially leaving together with him, BaiYing ran quickly across the bridge and arrived at the office, rich people can do anything including owns a penthouse in one of the most luxurious apartnts in the city, right across his office, therefore he doesn’t have the opportunity to buy breakfast on the way, even because he was so busy, this morning he only had ti to drink coffee, this is really bad.

“Em”

“You can’t go tonight, co with ”

Just when BaiYing thought his boss was kind enough to ask if he had eaten or not, LuoXiang’s loud and cynical voice made him fall down hard.

“What does it an? Why can’t I? It’s at night and just across the apartnt, I’ll be ho before it’s late.”

LuoXiang approached his work chair and sat down casually, took the report, and read it.

“Can’t, because tonight we have a eting outside, this is also very important, so you have to co along”

“B-but”

“No buts, you’re my assistant, of course, all your ti should only be spent on , no one else”

BaiYing puffed out his mouth, that person was so annoying, he didn’t even give him a chance to speak, it can’t be helped, that person is just like that, for so reason he seems to hate him so much, and torture him slowly to death.

.......

Tik ??tok tik tok

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

Tipass so fast, soon it was ti to go ho, BaiYing couldn’t wait to go ho quickly and find sothing to eat, he was starving, his eyes keep rolling on his boss who’s so busy taking calls from his business associates since earlier, it didn’t stop, he even had his own online eting after BaiYing handed over the docunts he needed earlier, hopefully, there is no more overti today.

As BaiYing sat and reading at the report seriously, the sound of the intercom startled him.

“Nittt!!”

“Mister BaiYing, there is a food order for you outside, can we bring it in?” floor receptionist Yan spoke,

BaiYing raised his head, apparently LuoXiang was already looking at him, he didn’t order food why would anyone deliver food for him? Is this Sis Lan’er’s order or is it Sis Fan’er? Who out of pity to see him starving?

“Em, I’ll pick it up later sister Yan, thank you.”

But when BaiYing hasn’t finished, LuoXiang pressed the phone button.

“Bring it in Yan, my assistant is busy.”

Hearing the boss’ voice, Yan answered quickly.

“Ready boss”

Before long the food in paper bags arrived at BaiYing’s table, Yan who delivered it, LuoXiang approached.

“Who’s delivering?” he asked.

Yan shook her head.

“Don’t know, it said for Mr. BaiYing, there is no sender na”

BaiYing glanced at Yan, looking at her with big eyes as if asking what he should do with the food? He didn’t order it and it wasn’t ti to eat, his boss could punish him later.

Yan tried to answer and help but she didn’t really understand why anyone would order food at this hour?

.....

LuoXiang looked at BaiYing who was still standing looking at the contents of the paper bags, it looked like a hamburger, of course, BaiYing’s favorite food, he couldn’t hold back his saliva, obviously, the worms couldn’t protest because they had been too weak without being fed all day.

LuoXiang returned to his seat.

“Yan, I want you to take and send this docunt right away”

Yan followed her boss to his desk,

“What are you waiting for Ying? I gave you fifteen minutes break to finish the al” said LuoXiang, BaiYing opened his eyes wide, he must not have heard wrongly when his boss said that, his eyes still had ti to look at BaiYing confirming his words, without thinking twice the young man sat back at his desk, opened the paper bag and took out its contents.

“Here, give it downstairs so the courier can pick it up this afternoon.” continued LuoXiang.

Yan gathered several large brown envelopes that LuoXiang had marked on the table.

“Yes boss”

“And don’t forget, tomorrow we have a eting with representatives from Kili company, prepare all the docunts, Ying’er has sent for all parts to be studied”

Yan nodded again.

“Yes boss”

While LuoXiang was talking, his cell phone vibrated, a ssage ca in.

Zrrrttt.

LuoXiang raised his hand for Yan to wait for him while he looked at the incoming ssages on his cell phone.

“How was it? Did the little bird enjoy the food?”

The contents of the short ssage imdiately made his eyes widen, he looked at BaiYing who was already chewing his burger.

“Oh damn it! Ying Ying!” LuoXiang stood up to BaiYing quickly, but it was too late, the burger he was chewing was already down his throat.

His eyes opened wide as he saw LuoXiang approaching, with a very worried face, what was that person doing? But, he couldn’t wait, because the food that had entered his mouth just now, made his neck itchy, even hot, so hard for him to breathe.

“Oh!”

BaiYing tried to catch his breath which was suddenly beco so heavy, what did he just eat? This, pepper? His chest was tight, all the air seed to be sucked out of him.

LuoXiang ca closer, holding back BaiYing’s limp-looking hand.

“Ying! What happened?” Yan exclaid anxiously.

“Yan quickly call an ambulance!”

BaiYing didn’t even feel anything as he had to lose consciousness very quickly and limp in LuoXiang’s arms, so quickly,

“Oh no,” Yan anxiously ran out of the room quickly.

LuoXiang responsively picked up BaiYing’s limp body and lowered him onto the floor, he would give first aid to him who was no longer breathing.

“YingYing, hang on” LuoXiang opened BaiYing’s mouth and gave him a breath.

.....

Calm, very calm atmosphere without any noise, the sound of the telephone ringing in his head? The sound of the elevator button which is also often heard, by the ti, the sound fades away, leave him in a very calm state, not even the sound of the wall clock ticking, which is imdiately visible when BaiYing slowly opens his eyes, his pair of droopy eyes slowly opened, finding himself lying on the white soft bed with a predominantly white room, but, this isn’t the boss’s penthouse apartnt, let alone the ugly apartnt, where is this?

And, there’s a needle with a long IV line already stuck in his vein, and he’s not wearing his own clothes, this, in the hospital? A very spacious and clean room complete with a sofa set not far beside the bed, also a large screen television on the front wall and a large window that shows the sunlight entering the room freely, and soone, sitting to sleep beside his bed, on a chair, beside the bed, with two arms crossed in front of his chest and eyes tightly closed, that person, for so reason when he saw his face now, he was not like the annoying boss he used to be, he looked very handso and sweet.

The sky was bright again, does that an he’s been there all night?

Zrrrtt.

The cell phone on the table beside the bed vibrated, it was BaiYing’s.

Acute pepper allergy, he is always defeated by his allergy, the attack is very fast, and this is the second ti. He forgot how the first attack happened, but according to his father, he almost lost his life if it wasn’t because soone saves his life at that ti, and now, he knows how it feels, it really can cost him his life for eating that very small content of spices.

Ever since the car accident, that cause his mother to pass away instantly and he was in a coma for over a month, BaiYing had forgotten his childhood mories, the first ten years, which might not have been that important to him, but he kept thinking that he might be missing sothing very important.

BaiYing looked at his cell phone, there were a lot of incoming ssages, including from ShinYa and the office group who asked him out yesterday, he smiled at the new ssage that just ca in, ShinYa and the office group that wishes for his recovery, after being so excited that the whole office was so worried about him, and, so other short ssages which he hadn’t had ti to read, which made BaiYing’s eyes widen.

“Where are you? It’s ti for lunch, your food is ready, co quickly!”

“Stupid kid, why didn’t you answer my ssage! Watch out, I’ll cut your salary off!”

“This kid, hurry to the office right now, this is an order!”

“YingYing!”

All the ssages from his boss, lots of them, ssages that don’t stop even now, there are old ssages from a few days ago that he didn’t get to read, ssages when he ca ho from work alone and had to run in the pouring rain to get to his apartnt.

“I’ve left the umbrella at the front desk, take it with you, don’t get rained on” the contents of LuoXiang’s short ssage who had left the umbrella at the receptionist before he left for the eting.

When he ran from the apartnt early in the morning without seeing the ssage on his cellphone that morning.

“There’s your favorite bread on the table, don’t forget to take it, and don’t drink coffee with an empty stomach, just watch out if you’re sick, I won’t let you skip the work.”

BaiYing covered his mouth, why did he miss all those short ssages? Even the ssage from a few days ago, how he was so stupid not to see it at all.

BaiYing glanced at LuoXiang’s face, who’s sleeping in a very cool style beside him, he was about to reach out his hand to touch him when the door was opened from the outside.

“kreek”

Several people ca in, which instantly made LuoXiang open his eyes, BaiYing quickly pulled his hand back and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

“Good morning boss”

Yan and Bi had arrived that morning, LuoXiang got up from his seat, stretch out his waist.

“Heh you guys have co? Yan, has everything been prepared?” he asked.

Yan nodded,

“It’s boss, Tu will take care of it, I have prepared it and provided all the docunt links according to the boss’s ssage”

LuoXiang looked at the bed, where BaiYing was still sleeping soundly, approached the bed and lifted the blanket that covered the young man’s chest, stroke his hair gently, Yan and Bi who saw her held their breath, both of them were not strange that their boss was really obsessed with BaiYing, even the whole office had known it.

“The doctor said he can’t eat anything yet until after-noon, his stomach has just been drained and given dicine, later just give him porridge, don’t just buy nowhere, his stomach is still very weak, and rember, no pepper allowed even a little bit, even if you just have to taste it first.”

Yan and Bi nodded.

“Ready boss”

LuoXiang saw BaiYing’s gentle face, his eyes flashed.

“That person, how can he do it right of my own eyes, just watch out if I catch him”

BaiYing who was pretending to be asleep could hear his boss’s words clearly, so, the reason he almost died ridiculously was the boss? Because of his enemy? This was really annoying, he should have left when he had the chance, stupid BaiYing.

By noon.

After waking up Yan and Bi had already brought porridge according to LuoXiang’s order for BaiYing.

“I’m full sis, thank you,” BaiYing said after a few mouthfuls entered his mouth,

“Heh, how did this happen? Look at your pale face” Said Yan worry.

BaiYing dropped his head back on the pillow, his body was still very weak, he couldn’t even lift his head any longer, headaches and nausea, followed by a churning stomach as if sothing was spinning in it, not to ntion his throat who is hurt, this is probably because they inserted a tube to forcefully drain the content of his stomach last night, this is very uncomfortable.

“Cough cough”

Yan fetched him so water.

“Drink this, then try to close your eyes again”

BaiYing looked at the two co-workers for a mont, the two who greeted him first when he entered the office and they had always been taking care of him, feeding him, making sure he wasn’t starving.

“Heh this is so bad, how can there’s no wind or storm and I could almost die like this, heh”

Yan massaged BaiYing’s feet, at least trying to make him a little more comfortable after he said his whole body down to the smallest veins was sore, even though they had taken out all the contents of his stomach, which was not that much, but the effects of allergies make him helpless,

“Heh, lucky the boss was quick to respond, he gave first aid before the ambulance ca, he didn’t stop trying to give you artificial respiration,” said Yan.

BaiYing turned his head, furrowed his brow, artificial respiration? What does it an? BaiYing touched his lips.

“I-is that really? You guys saw it?”

Yan and Bi nodded.

“Well, I guess the whole office saw it”

The girls covered their mouths holding back laughter, BaiYing hit his forehead, how can this happen?

“Oh that ans, the whole office already knows? Aren’t they going to gossip about all kinds of things? What is that person doing?”

“Well it can’t be helped, if he didn’t do it you might not be so lucky, the dical who gave first aid said if you didn’t breathe until he arrived you might be in a coma, lucky, our boss knows how to react,” Yan continued.

Bi nodded.

“That’s right, he is very great and very worried to see you, last night he didn’t even move from the room when everyone was tired and went ho, he didn’t go anywhere, and, apparently he did stay here all night because he didn’t change his clothes”

BaiYing lowered his hands, he might have had bad thoughts towards that person, by not reading his text ssages all this ti, thinking that his boss was deliberately torturing him, he might be very angry that his ssages were ignored by him, he was too harsh on him, but, all this was also because of him, he almost died silly too because of his boss, so that guy deserved to be cursed.

“Well, of course, he must feel very guilty, because of his enemy, I’m the one who beca the victim, heh, this is really really annoying”

.....To be continued...
