Xiao Yunyun began to count down in her mind.

  “Five, four, three, two……”


  When counting to “one”, tears poured out from Xiao Yunyun’s beautiful eyes. She magically started sobbed and crying.

  “Cousin, Zhong Lue…… he, he…… wuwuwu……”


  Her crying sounded truly heartfelt, as if she had been hurt by the entire world, which was really sad and pitiful.

  Everybody was shocked by Xiao Yunyun’s performance, including Shen Yuechuan.

  Some said that women were made of water. It was completely unexpected to see that Xiao Yunyun could cry the minute she wanted to.

  Lu Boyan’s voice turned cold, “What did he do to you?”


  Xiao Yunyun’s crying turned even more desperate. She said constantly when sobbing, “He, dragged me, and forced me to go to his room……”


  If the temperature of voice could be detected, then Lu Boyan’s voice had to be hundreds of degrees below zero. “And then?”


  “Then Shen Yuechuan came along. He wanted to take me away but Zhong Lue didn’t let him and injured the back of Shen Yuechuan’s hand……” Xiao Yunyun wiped out the tears which had taken much of her effort and stared daggers at Zhong Lue.

  Zhong Lue also knew he was destined to die.

  He hadn’t seen Xiao Yunyun’s face before and she was Luo Xiaoxi’s bridesmaid, so he naturally considered her as an unknown star in the showbiz. In his eyes, those unknown stars could be commodities and obedient to him after giving them hundreds of thousands of RMB.

  But, Xiao Yunyun called Lu Boyan ‘cousin’!

  She was Su Yicheng and Su Jianan’s cousin who was said to be in her internship at the department of cardiac surgery in the Eighth People’s Hospital?

  Zhong Lue finally understood the reason why Shen Yuechuan protected Xiao Yunyun along the way and why Xiao Yunyun implied that he would die in a horrible way.

  This time he actually offended someone he shouldn’t have.

  “Yunyun, stop crying and follow Yuechuan first.” Lu Boyan’s voice became a bit milder but everyone could tell that the softness was just for Xiao Yunyun.

  Xiao Yunyun agreed to his words, then she threw the phone back to Zhong Lue and ran to stand behind Shen Yuechuan.

  Shen Yuechuan stretched his hand and offered a thumbs up to Xiao Yunyun.

  Xiao Yunyun lifted her chin proudly to Shen Yuechuan as if she were saying, “It was a piece of cake.”


  “Mr. Zhong,” Lu Boyan’s voice came out from the phone, “You heard it already. How should we deal with it?”


  “.……” Mr. Zhong didn’t know how to answer at the moment.

  Then Lu Boyan said slowly, “Even if the woman is just a waitress in my hotel, she is part of my staff and deserves the protection of Lu Enterprises. We should solve it with lawful procedures.”


  It meant making it public.

  Making it public meant Zhong Lue would be thoroughly discredited.

  “Boyan, can we solve it privately considering the cooperation we have had for so many years?” Mr. Zhong tried to appeal to their personal relations, “I can compensate that waitress!”


  “About that, you have to ask her in person,” Lu Boyan said.

  Mr. Zhong walked to the waitress instantly and looked sincere as he spoke, “Young lady, just name a price that is acceptable to you. We can accept it even if it’s a big number. Can we just solve it like that?”


  “No!” The girl didn’t hesitate even for a second and said firmly, “The salary the hotel offers is enough for me to have a pleasant life. Don’t think that money can really solve everything! I don’t need money! I want my dignity!”


  Xiao Yunyun secretly admired the girl in her heart.

  She was so cooperative!

  At the moment, if the girl accepted the money, her cousin-in-law would be completely disgraced!

  But the girl decided to stand by her boss against the enemies. Not just herself, Lu Boyan and even the whole Lu Enterprises looked prestigious!

  This time Zhong Lue had to fall!

  “Mr. Zhong, you heard it.” Lu Boyan sounded helpless while in fact, he didn’t think of it as a pity at all, “We can only use our own way to deal with it. Lu Enterprises has its own law firm and the lawyer with talk to Manager Zhong about the rest.”


  “Boyan……” Mr. Zhong still tried to do something about it.

  Lu Boyan didn’t want to waste any more time on Zhong Lue and interrupted Mr. Zhong directly, “As for what happened to Yunyun, Yuechuan will solve it. Whatever Yuechuan does, he has my permission. His words will be my intention.” What he meant was that Shen Yuechuan would represent him from that moment on.

  Then Lu Boyan hung up the phone.

  In the long corridor, the situation had been reversed. Mr. Zhong and his aggressive son had obviously lost the initiative.

  Mr. Zhong could only regret that he had underestimated the relationship between Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan.

  In fact, he had already heard that, although Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan had a boss and assistant relationship, they looked more like brothers. But he always believed that an assistant couldn’t have that great of a relationship with his boss.

  Besides, they looked formal and remote when dealing with business in Lu Enterprises. Mr. Zhong had thought the relationship between them had been exaggerated.

  He couldn’t have further from the truth, after he saw what happened.

  Mr. Zhong’s attitude turned soft as he asked, “Yuechuan, how do you plan to deal with it?”


  Shen Yuechuan smiled, “Mr. Zhong, it’s a thing that happened between us youngsters. I’m nervous now that you’re here.”


  He meant it was time for Mr. Zhong to leave.

  Or else he couldn’t have enough fun.

  Although Mr. Zhong was worried about Zhong Lue, he still left.

  He knew Zhong Lue was doomed this time, but Shen Yuechuan would somehow leave him a way out.

  After Mr. Zhong left, Shen Yuechuan moved closer to Zhong Lue. “I’ll give you a second chance to call for help. But don’t call your parents. It’s too naive.”


  Zhong Lue knew he didn’t have a second chance and would be beaten up no matter how he reacted. So he straightened his back and said, “You can do whatever you like!”


  “You’re braver than I thought.” Shen Yuechuan signaled to his friends who had just arrived, “I leave him to you.”


  Before Xiao Yunyun understood what was happening, she was dragged away by Shen Yuechuan.

  Shen Yuechuan’s friends and Zhong Lue who was alone were the only people left on the long corridor.

  Zhong Lue only had to suffer but he wouldn’t admit his failure to Shen Yuechuan orally. He ironized, “You guys help Shen Yuechuan because you want to please Lu Enterprises. Shen Yuechuan protected Xiao Yunyun because he wants to please Lu Boyan. Huh, no one is more dignified!”


  “We don’t quite understand what you said. I only know that you harassed Brother Yuechuan’s future wife,” said a young looking boy who was about Xiao Yunyun’s age. He aggressively raised his chin to Zhong Lue and said, “Just tell me, how do you prefer to die?”


  Zhong Lue asked confusedly, “His future wife?”


  “You didn’t hear it wrong. Xiao Yunyun is his future wife.” Another man rushed to him and caught his collar. “Stop wasting time! Just hit him!”


  Soon, the sounds of kicking and crying blended together and spread along the corridor.

  By then, Shen Yuechuan had already taken Xiao Yunyun to the garden outside the hotel.

  Xiao Yunyun asked casually, “What will they do to Zhong Lue?”


  Shen Yuechuan stopped and stared at Xiao Yunyun with danger in his eyes, “Are you worried about Zhong Lue?”


  Xiao Yunyun honestly shook her head, “I just hope they can beat him harder.”


  Shen Yuechuan smiled with satisfaction and glanced at Xiao Yunyun. “Zhong Lue dared to bother you…… Don’t worry, they won’t let him go easily.”


  Xiao Yunyun could understand every word he said. But she was confused, once those words were put together.

  Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with curiosity. “What do you mean?”


  Shen Yuechuan smiled mysteriously and didn’t plan to explain. “You’ll know in the future.”


  Xiao Yunyun was stubborn so she demanded, “I want to know now.”


  Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows. “I don’t want you to know just yet.”


  There was a slight twinkle in his eyes, which looked gentle and loving. Xiao Yunyun met his eyes and her heart started beating wildly.

  Then her face was burning red.

  Xiao Yunyun secretly scolded herself for being timid and she looked in another direction at the same time, “Forget it! Now I don’t want to know!” Then she turned around to leave.

  Shen Yuechuan stopped Xiao Yunyun. “Wait.”


  Xiao Yunyun turned around unwillingly. “What?”


  Shen Yuechuan’s arms crossed before his chest. “I just saved you. Don’t you want to show your gratitude?”


  Xiao Yunyun agreed and casually said, “Thank you.”


  “That’s it?” Shen Yuechuan frowned with dissatisfaction. “That’s too light. You don’t seem to be this impolite.”


  “What should I do to be polite then?” Xiao Yunyun asked smilingly, “Should I give myself to you?”


  “Yes!” Shen Yuechuan nodded and said, “I can take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau now.”


  His eyes were joyful. It wasn’t clear if he was serious or if he was just joking.

  Xiao Yunyun’s heartbeat ran even faster.

  When faced with the one you liked, no matter how strong your heart was, it couldn’t take such ambiguous jokes.

  Especially when the joke was exactly what she had dreamt of.

  “Idiot!” Xiao Yunyun forced herself to shout, “I’ll marry anyone except for you!”


  “.……” There was something in Shen Yuechuan’s heart which kept plummeting and nothing could stop it. But he hid it perfectly and still smiled. “Why?”


  Xiao Yunyun didn’t notice even the slightest change in Shen Yuechuan’s expression and could tell with certainty that he didn’t care about her answer. So she was sure he had been kidding. Then she boldly expressed the words which were against her mind, “Your look isn’t my type! Your character isn’t my type! Above all, you’re not my type!”


  Shen Yuechuan sighed and shook his head. “That’s a shame.” There was some sorrow in his tone and she still couldn’t tell whether it was real or not.

  Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with some confusion. “What shame?”


  “It’s a shame that your taste is terrible.” Shen Yuechuan patted Xiao Yunyun’s head and smiled seriously. “But that’s fine. I have a good eye!”


  Xiao Yunyun reached out her hand to feel the temperature on Shen Yuechuan’s forehead, “Do you have a fever? What is the relationship between your good taste and mine?”


  Shen Yuechuan smiled mysteriously again, “There is a relationship that you wouldn’t understand for now.”


  Xiao Yunyun agreed and nodded, “I really don’t understand.”


  Shen Yuechuan simply said, “It doesn’t matter.”


  It didn’t matter. It was okay that he was the only one who understood.

  Xiao Yunyun didn’t have a good eye so she didn’t like him. But he had a good eye, that was why he appreciated Xiao Yunyun a lot!

  Therefore, he was responsible for pursuing, and Xiao Yunyun…… could only be responsible for waiting to be pursued.

  Could he get her?

  He was Shen Yuechuan!

  This kind of question shouldn’t even exist!
