Chapter 76: Eloping from the king's castle

Wearing a dark grey bathrobe, a tall sturdy figure is standing in the balcony, staring continuously at the chopper as it starts to depart. Xiu Mei accidentally glanced in the balcony from the window and found Feng Jianyu standing there, looking at her direction.

Inadvertently they made an eye contact, stuck in a trance like state she looked at his intimidating yet alluring aura. She kept on looking at him even when the chopper is in the air far from him.

At this height, she noticed something and frowned at her preposterous thought. Surrounded by lush green forest, her villa is already a beauty to behold in the eyes. But, right now his mere presence on the balcony is attracting all the attention to him. He looks like a majestic king, watching over his kingdom and she felt herself like a jailbird who is caught red-handed while eloping from the king's castle.

Finding her thought absurd, she wiggled her head to shake the thought out of her mind.

'It's not that I'm his servant and he is my master that I have to take his permission to go anywhere. Being the master of my own life I can do whatever I want to do. I don't have to feel guilty for him. Although I promised him to drive thru and fro to his company, but that's not my job to do, moreover I cannot be available at his service 24*7. He is a rich man, he can afford a chauffeur for himself or ask Feng Junjie to drive him over.'

Taking a deep breath she tries to coax her waving thoughts, 'Relax Xiu Mei, you did nothing wrong. Just calm down… He doesn't have the right to question you or to blame you for any of this. Get over him, get over him…. Think about buttercream macaroons… ' Chanting this in her mind she closed her eyes and rested her head on the headrest.

The chopper ride took almost 30 minutes to arrive at Xion's villa. She looked down at the majestic villa which looks like a grand palace. The approximate area occupied by it is almost 100 times the area occupied by her mountain villa. It was built by his great grandfather on the concept of traditional Chinese houses, but later Xion and his father have modified it according to their preferences.

It is located at one of the most expensive locations in the city. In the present time, only a few people in this city can afford to build a house like this. But getting this prime location is almost impossible considering the high property rates.

Since he lives' private life and due to security reasons regarding his hidden identity, he had bought all the nearby land surrounding his house. Without special permission, nobody is allowed to enter the premises, and if someone tries to do so, consequences are fatal.

Just like her own house, Xiu Mei has herself designed the security of this villa too. But the security of Xion's villa is much more advanced than her. It took her almost a year to make it up to her satisfaction. She has personally verified every trap herself before installing them at various locations. A team of specially trained men is guarding the entire house using the intelligence system developed by her.

She is the only person who is allowed to enter inside the villa without any restrictions, even in Xion's absence. But she doesn't like to take advantage of Xion's trust and comes here only rarely.

When the chopper landed, Xion's most trusted and his right-hand man, his assistant Wu Zixin came forward to escort her inside the villa. He courteously bowed towards her, "Good morning Miss. Mei" and extended his hand to help her disembark from the chopper.

"Morning, Brother Zixin…", she amiably greeted him with a smile and accepted his gesture towards her. Wu Zixin felt happy hearing the word brother from her mouth. He is aware of her polite and respectful nature towards others, irrespective of their status.

"Brother Zixin, where is X?" Wu Zixin warned her, "Miss. Mei, beware! Boss is waiting for you since long… He is not in a good mood now"

Pouting her lips she asked, her voice sounded authoritative, "Really? Did he bully you? Did he harassed his bodyguards" she turned towards the bodyguard descended from the chopper and pointed her finger towards him as if asking him to confirm.

"Tell me! Brother Zixin, don't worry! You can complain to me about him. I'll even out the scores on your behalf" she looked at Wu Zixin determinedly. Standing in between two men she alternated her gaze between them, waiting for them to say something.

Wu Zixin and the bodyguard standing behind looked at each other and shake their heads in denial. They can only dare to complain about their boss to Xiu Mei only if they have a death wish.

'Sorry Miss. Mei! Despite numerous complaints, No one can dare to complain about boss… especially to you. Knowing your temper, you will definitely punish my boss by not talking to him for the entire month. But then the boss will vent out his anger on his poor staff. Last time when you did this, I was on my honeymoon, holidaying in the Bahamas, and boss disrupted it by calling me from there.' Wu Zixin sulked inwardly.

'If the boss comes to know that you got angry on him because of me, he will definitely make me work overtime for the entire life. Oh! How will I make babies with my wife then? She wants one by next year!'

'I wonder if you could get me a month's off from boss… By next year I'll definitely become a father.' At this thought, Wu Zixin smiled thinking about having a cute baby and forgot about the presence of Xiu Mei around him.

"Hello hello… Brother Zixin, Come back to earth…", Xiu Mei waved her hand in front of him to bring him back to reality. "Cough… Sorry, Miss. Mei, I got lost for a second' he jolted back from his dream.
