Chapter 119 What was she up to?
It was already pass 12 when Yu Chen and Luo Xiaolei stepped out of the house. During their lunch, Luo Xiaolei told Yu Chen that she will go to school so the man told her that he will drop her off in her school before going to his company.
Luo Xiaolei didn’t try declining his offer and quickly agreed with him.
"Are you coming ho late tonight?" Yu Chen asked when they were about to reached the University.
His question made Luo Xiaolei felt curious why he asked but when she rembered what had happened that night when she was kidnapped, she imdiately understood that he must have been just worried about the danger of her staying out late.
"Yes, but don’t worry, I will try to go ho early." She replied but Yu Chen noticed that she sounded a bit down when she said it.
"No, if you have important things to do, you can stay late. But in one condition, Guan Ye will be your chauffeur and wait for you to ensure your safety." He said and Luo Xiaolei’s face lit up. Well, she understood why Yu Chen was doing this and she didn’t want to give him any trouble so having a chauffeur to wait for her outside Yellowbell would be the best thing she could ask for to avoid anymore unwanted trouble.
"I understand." Luo Xiaolei smiled, showing him that she approved of his idea, causing Yu Chen to heave a sigh of relief.
Yu Chen had been wanting to assign her a body guard but he was worried that she might think that he was being too overprotective. He didn’t want her to think that he’s limiting her freedom or anything like that so he was really glad that she seed to understand the situation.
"Okay, Guan Ye will co fetch you after he drops Little Rui and Ran ho." He said when Luo Xiaolei suddenly raised her hand and playfully gave a salute as she said the words, "Yes boss."
Yu Chen blinked as he watched her smiled at him. He was dumbstruck for a mont before he reached out his hand and landed it on top of her head, causing Luo Xiaolei’s smile to slowly fade.
He caressed her head gently as he spoke. "Mm. Take care."
As soon as Luo Xiaolei heard him, she finally realized that they were already in front of her school so she smiled at him again and said, "You too", before she climbed out of the car.
Yu Chen watched her waved at him one last ti before she finally walked away and disappeared from his eyes.
...
Yu Empire...
There was an unexpected important matter that Yu Chen had to deal with so it was already near midnight when he was finally done with his work.
His n that were all gathered like so quiet statues sitting on the sofa of his huge office simultaneously stretched out their hands as so of them even stood and yawned the mont they saw the big boss finally stood from his chair.
"Boss, did you tell Guan Ye to report to you? He’s been asking if it’s okay for him to call you." Gu Wei was the first to break the silence.
Hearing him, Yu Chen picked his phone on his desk and dialed Guan Ye’s number. The man didn’t call him directly so everything must have been alright. But Yu Chen still called him anyway to make sure.
As soon as the call was connected, Guan Ye imdiately began his report.
"After picking her up from the University I dropped her at Yellowbell orphanage. She told that I could go anywhere and she’ll just call once she’s done but I stayed and waited outside the orphanage as per your instruction. I waited there for three hours. On our way back I dropped her again into a suspicious place."
"Suspicious?"
"Well, it’s suspicious since it’s the first ti I saw her visited that place."
". . ."
"She stayed there for just so few minutes. We arrived in Scarlet hill at ten sharp."
As he listened to Guan Ye’s report, Yu Chen was loosening his necktie as he leaned at the edge of his desk. "I see." He uttered, sounding satisfied and relieved that there was no disturbance that had happened.
"Uhm... boss, don’t you want to know what was Miss Luo doing inside that orphanage and also about that suspicious place she visited?" Guan Ye’s question made Yu Chen’s hand halted in place. "I an, are you not curious what was she up to? If you want, I could investigate."
"No. There’s no need for you to do that."
"Oh, o-okay. I understand, boss."
After the call had ended, Yu Chen headed to the bathroom. When he ca back, he was wiping his face and neck with a towel.
The bored Gu Wei who was impatiently staring in space shifted his gaze at Yu Chen and he blinked his eyes.
He moved towards Yu Chen with a narrowed eyed as he stared at his neck. When he confird that what he was seeing was the real deal, Gu Wei’s narrowed eyes widen. OMG, those are real hickeys!! For real? Boss, did you finally graduate from being a virgin?! Obviously, right?!
Gu Wei’s expression was suddenly ecstatic.
"Hehe, boss those are..." Gu Wei couldn’t continue his word. It was because for so reason, as soon as Yu Chen noticed where Gu Wei was looking at, he suddenly covered his neck with the towel in his hand as he threw a deadly glare to Gu Wei. But Gu Wei the brave wasn’t fazed.
"Er... boss, why are you hiding it? Don’t tell you’re so shy that you asked Miss Luo to conceal those marks!" he asked, his voice went a bit louder.
"No, it’s her who wanted to hide these."
"Eh? Why?"
"Xiaolei said she didn’t want anyone to see her work of art."
Gu Wei and all the n who heard Yu Chen’s words almost choked upon hearing him. My goodness. What? W-work of art?!! When did hickeys beco an art?! Ah, my head!
"So t-that’s why you’re ordering not to look?" Gu Wei asked again. This ti, his voice was filled with wonder and disbelief.
Yu Chen: "Not just you. No one aside from her is allowed to look."
Everyone: ". . ."
