Chapter 67.1

Seeing the big boss approaching them, it wasnt only Zhu Xias legs that were soft. Her colleague and the secretaries also felt something was wrong and took a step back.

The a.s.sistant colleagues head buzzed and many speculations appeared. Did Zhu Xia have a problem? Was she a commercial spy? No, Zhu Xias ident.i.ty a.s.sessment had been pa.s.sed and she even had plans to focus on training Zhu Xia internally. Then why was the big boss reacting so much?

Just as her mind was in a mess, the boss reached them.

Sister Xia.

S-Sister Xia?

The colleague and secretary were people who had seen many things but they were so frightened by the big boss calling out Sister Xia that they failed to control their expressions, showing surprise and panic.

The colleague turned to look at Zhu Xia, her mood very complicated. A coworker who usually rose to work on an electric scooter was actually someone who the big boss called sister. Such a ridiculous thing wouldnt even appear in TV dramas. She shouldve said it to someone above. Didnt she know how much effort the department put in to check her ident.i.ty?

The atmosphere seemed to be frozen after Yan Ting called out Sister Xia.

Sister Xia wanted to sit on the ground but once everyone looked at her, she was surprisingly calm. There was only one thought in her chaotic mind. She was Zhao Zhaos sister and no one could hurt him using status or money.

Her mouth slightly moved and there was no way she could speak. Yes, who wouldve thought that the legendary big boss dragon would be with her younger brother?

Qin Xiao realized that something was wrong and told the secretary, You go back to work first.

The secretary and colleague left the scene in a hurry. In the face of their salary, all curiosity seemed insignificant.

Once the colleague and person from the secretariat left, Zhu Xia finally spoke. Does Zhao Zhao know?

Yan Ting was silent for a moment. Sister Xia, lets go to the office and talk slowly.

After entering the big boss office, Zhu Xia found she had calmed down and she even started to doubt Yan Tings purpose behind approaching Zhao Zhao. A big person like Yan Ting could get anyone he wanted. What att.i.tude did he have toward Zhao Zhao?

The office, like the man, was full of indifference and alienation. The only thing that seemed out of place in this office was the pillow on the office chair. The chibi doll pillow looked very cute and Sister Xia recognized it instantly. It took after Zhao Zhaos image.

Sister Xia, please sit down. Yan Ting took the cup of water from Qin Xiaos hand and placed it in front of Zhu Xia. Zhao Zhao wont let me drink coffee and tea so I have to temporarily wrong you to drink boiled water.

Drinking water is healthy. Zhu Xia took a deep breath and tried to make her posture more natural.

Qin Xiao glanced at the two of them and exited the office, helping them by closing the door behind him.

Boss, although it is working hours now, please forgive me for talking about private matters not related to work. Zhu Xia took the gla.s.s of water and took a sip of water to relieve her tension. I want to find out if Zhao Zhao knows you are the big boss of Cang Huan.

Yan Ting lowered his eyes to the steaming water in the cup. Im sorry, he doesnt know.

Why are you lying to him? Zhu Xia didnt understand. Are you worried that Zhao Zhao will be greedy for your money after finding out your ident.i.ty?

Even the big boss couldnt treat her Zhao Zhao this way!

If money can keep him close to me then how could I hide it? Yan Tings hand was very beautiful, slender and clean. Men with such hands could easily arouse womens pity, even if they had no expression.

Zhao Zhaos first encounter with me was due to a misunderstanding. The water in the cup shook and accidentally spilled onto the back of Yan Tings hands, dripping down the back of his hand like two lines of tears.

You dont know how good his smiling eyes were, just like a warm little sun. Yan Ting glanced at Zhu Xia. I want him to stay with me, thats all.

These eyes were too sincere. It was so sincere that Zhu Xia felt that no matter what Zhao Zhao asked Yan Ting to do, Yan Ting would agree.

It is important to be honest in front of a loved one. Zhu Xia put down the cup. You should know that lies will always be torn apart.

Sister Xia, I dont dare to gamble. Yan Ting took out his handkerchief and slowly wiped the water on the back of his hand. I can gamble in many things. It is only when it comes to Zhao Zhao that I am a coward who cant lose.

Do you want to hide it from Zhao Zhao for the rest of your life? Zhu Xia couldnt help raising her voice. How can you hide it all your life?

Yan Ting told her, I will find an opportunity to tell Zhao Zhao. Sister Xia, I hope you can

I cant. Zhu Xia interrupted Yan Tings words. Zhao Zhao is my brother, a child I looked out for when growing up. He isnt an object to be deceived by you.

Yan Ting, no matter whether you are being true or false, the most intolerant thing when it comes to feelings is deception. Zhu Xia shook her head. I know what you want to say but I wont agree.

Yan Tings eyes were dark, as if there were deep and countless hidden dangers at the bottom.

The womans screams and the mans shouts suddenly seemed to come from all directions. Yan Tings pupils trembled and his voice became hoa.r.s.e. Sister Xia, the only thing I care about in my life is Zhao Zhao.

No one could take Zhao Zhao away from him. No one.

When I first met Zhao Zhao, he was only 10 years old. Zhu Xia didnt know why she was telling Yan Ting these things. Perhaps it was because Li Zhao suffered so much as a child, his life was so bitter that she couldnt bear to see him hurt on the path of feelings.

A 10 year old child who looked seven or eight years old, carrying old wounds from when he had been abused by his adoptive parents. Zhu Xia spoke in a heavy tone. On the first day at the welfare home, the aunt gave him a chicken leg. He was so hungry that he gulped it all down. He was reluctant to spit anything out, even if he choked.

Do you know why he did this?

Zhu Xias eyes were red. It was because in his adoptive parents home, he was often halfway through the meal when he was beaten by his adoptive father, adoptive mother or younger brother. He could never eat enough. Later, the moment he received a meal, he would try his best to cram as much food as possible into his mouth so he would get enough to eat. Even if he was beaten, he would be able to fill his stomach.

Once he came to the welfare home, well-intentioned people offered to adopt him but he refused. Zhu Xia held her cup tightly to calm herself. He said he would wait for his real parents to come and pick him up.

The national channel had a program for finding relatives. Every time the program came on, Zhao Zhao would finish his homework early and sit in front of the television, not wanting to miss any news about parents searching for their biological child.

Gradually, he stopped watching the show and stopped mentioning his parents. Zhu Xias throat felt a bit choked up. A young man like him shouldve studied at university but due to my illness, he gave up his studies and ran to a strange city to save money.

Im not saying this to make you sympathize but to make you understand. Zhu Xia stood up, her legs no longer trembling and her voice firm. Even if you are the big boss that no one dares to offend, I wont help you hurt him.

It is me who doesnt want to hurt Zhao Zhao most in the world. Yan Ting saw that Zhu Xia was ready to go and stopped her at the door. Sister Xia, I dont want to hurt Zhao Zhao, please give me a bit of time.

Zhu Xia watched him and didnt speak.

Zhao Zhao is my life. Yan Tings voice was calm, as if explaining a simple matter. Sister Xia, I cant bear any possibility of Zhao Zhao leaving me.

Zhu Xia was shocked. Her intuition told her that Yan Tings words were true. What type of feelings was this that he would regard the other person as important as life? Zhu Xia admitted that she was a bit soft-hearted. She knew the importance of Yan Ting to Zhao Zhao and she didnt want him to be sad, but this shouldnt be based on deception.

One month. Zhu Xia sighed helplessly. Yan Ting, Ill give you a month. I hope you can make it clear to Zhao Zhao. In this month, I wont talk about this matter with Zhao Zhao but if he asks me, I will tell him the truth.

Thank you.

Dont thank me. I just cant bear for Zhao Zhao to be sad. If it wasnt for the fact Zhao Zhao values you so much that he worries about what you drink, I wouldve immediately told this matter to Zhao Zhao.
