Offer To The CEO Chapter 22: What Happened

22 What Happened

Anna Jones, after being able to get herself away from Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, and the door shut on the car threw herself into Hou Yi's arms and burst out crying.

Hou Yi was shocked at how Anna was.He knew when she left the car she had a plan and was going to be able to cope with what happened, if Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin were there and approached her.He carefully lifted her up, and put her seat belt on, and then let her fall back on to him, crying.All he did was comfort her for a few minutes, until he started to feel that her tears were lessening.

Calmly and quietly he asked "Can you tell what happened?", as he moved her back to sit up.It was then he noticed a mark across her face.Seeing this enraged him, and Hou Yi's imdiate thoughts were who dared to hit his wife, and he wold make them paid.These thoughts stopped Hou Yi, as despite his feelings, for Anna, which the best that he was willing to say was that he fell for her on sight, no more, he promised Anna he would help her get her revenge, and if it was Lu Jinhu and Yang Li, he would not be able to step in.

All Anna could do was continue to cry.Hou Yi reached into the pocket on the back of the seat in front of him and pulled a few tissues out of the box.He handed them Anna, and again asked, in even a more gentler voice "Can you tell what happened?"He paused for a couple of seconds "Please tell , as I want to help you.While I may not have said it, when we married, it was implied that I would do what I could do to help you, as much as it was implied that you would do the sa for .I need to know what happened so I can do what I can to help you."

With that Hou Yi, put a couple of fingers under Anna's chin and gently lifted her chin up so that she would look at him.As soon as he saw her eyes, he saw the exact hurt that she had in her eyes when she crashed into him earlier.This made him imdiately realised who was the whole cause – Lu Linhu and Yang Lin.

To try and shock her into interacting with him, he decided to lean in and briefly kiss her cheek, and did so.Hou Yi felt himself trembling with anticipation, to give his wife even this brief kiss.He realised that those feelings about having fallen for Anna on sight returned, and given that he was further into their relationship that she was realised that he had to be brief, and careful not to scare the intriguing woman who was his wife.

The brief kiss imdiately caused Anna to stiffen.She started to raise her hand to slap the person who dared kiss her but saw who it was and recognised that he did not deserve such a reaction.All she could feel was the physical hurt from the hits and that the ntal wall that she had tried to build in marrying Hou Yi was shattered.

Before Anna could open her mouth to say anything, Hou Yi started to talk "Sorry about that, I hope that it did not hurt, as I was trying to avoid the places where it appears that soone slapped you in the face."

He stopped and took a further breath, while holding his hand up, but not in Anna's face and then continued."I am guessing that you ran into Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, and they physically abused you and verbally bullied you, and as you tried to get into the car they tried to stop you, as they wanted to belittle and abuse you more."

All Anna could do is nod in response.Hou Yi continued "We can go to the police to report the assault on you.I think we should."At this Anna was shaking her head."No, we will, even if the matter goes no further at this ti, you should realise as a lawyer having the report if they continue makes it easier for justice to be served.It will allow them, if there is a pattern of behaviour to take more serious action."

"I know, I would tell my clients to do that, but …"

"No buts.I will arrange for a police officer to at least co and take your statent at ho, once we deal with a couple of matters."

"Ok," was Anna's resigned response.

She seed ready to say sothing else, when their discussion was interrupted by Assistant Wang "Young Master, Young Madam, we have arrived at Fengs."With that he brought the car to a stop, turned the engine off, and ca around to open the door, and assisted Anna getting out of the vehicle.
