บท 67: Urgent Situations

Feng Xinying had already left the restaurant in her car when this incident occurred. Both she and Guo Junxo went together and the pictures were taken again.

Xie Yuansheng had been pacing the office in and out of his room every ten minutes. He would look at her desk and ask other employees as to where was she, and all of them would come up with blank expressions. Once an employee dropped a huge box of things with a loud crash, and Xie Yuansheng came running out thinking that it was Feng Xinyin, only to find someone else. The employee who had dropped was so flabbergasted that she stood up and bowed saying she would be very careful in the future. Xie Yuansheng left the place in disgust.

Feng Xinying came half an hour late to the office. As soon as she came she booted her computer. She took out her phone from her purse and found that there were thirty missed calls from Xie Yuansheng. She looked at her watch, and became nervous. Even though she wanted to go and meet him, she was simply too embarrassed. So instead of calling him back, she sent a message to him,

[I am in the office now. Sorry to be late.]

Xie Yuansheng had gone for a meeting by the time she came. So when he received the message, he wanted to leave the meeting and go to see her. But he was very angry with her for leaving him and going all by herself. So he didn't respond.

Although Feng Xinying was hoping that he wouldn't respond, she felt bad that he didn't answer her.

She busied herself with the work and didn't know that an hour had passed. She got up to stretch her legs and went to the office's coffee room where people would hang out to take short coffee breaks. As she was coming out of the room with her coffee, she noticed Xie Yuansheng. He glared at her and was apparently in a bad mood.

Although as soon as he saw her he had planned to ignore her but he stopped in front of her. "Bring a cup of coffee for me to the room," he said sternly. Saying that he took the coffee from her hand and went away. She looked at him with mouth wide open. "If he has taken my coffee, why does he want me to come with another one? He didn't even reply to my message," she thought angrily and went back to the coffee room to prepare another cup.

When she went to his room, she found him talking to someone on the phone. He signaled for her to sit and continued to talk. She waited for over half an hour for him to finish. During that time he would come near her, stroke her hair and go back to the window. Or he would come near her and stroke her cheek and go back. By the end of it, Feng Xinying started to like what he was doing and didn't interrupt him. She would pretend that she hadn't noticed what he was doing.

When the call ended, he turned to her and went near her. He sat opposite her, and stared at her in anger. Feng Xinying stared back at him.

"Why did you leave me and come here? Have you no curtsey Feng Xinying. After what happened yesterday night, have you no shame?" he blurted those words angrily.

Feng Xinying's face became red. She replied curling her toes, "I don't know what happened yesterday. But you have no right to remove my clothes even if I am drunk. According to the contract, you cannot touch me."

Xie Yuansheng was mad. "You talk about contract! According to the contract you cannot come late to the office. How will you compensate that? I had been looking for you since morning."

Xie Yuansheng wanted to hold her tight and imagined spanking her there and then. But imagining that made his blood go to the wrong place all over again and he felt his little brother waking up again. He crossed his legs immediately.

Feng Xinying narrowed her eyes, "What do you want so urgently that you had been looking for me since morning? It's not that the office employees cannot come late. Sometimes they do get into urgent situations."

"What urgent situation did you get in?" asked Xie Yuansheng becoming very worried.

Before Feng Xinying could answer, Xie Yuansheng received a call from Xie Shengjun. Seeing that he was again busy with the phone, Feng Xinying left him.

Xie Shengjun poured in all the details of the morning and asked him not to send Feng Xinying alone anywhere. Xie Yuansheng was filled with so much worry that he went outside while talking to his brother and stopped at Feng Xinying's desk to reprimand her again but she wasn't there.

Worriedly, he asked another employee, "Where is she?"

"No idea sir," came the prompt reply, which made him extremely anxious.

"Go find her," he shouted and went back to his office. He didn't want to call her.

While he was fretting and fuming, he heard a soft knock on the door. He rushed to the door, opened it and held her hand to pull her inside. He looked at her face to scold her, but he found Wang Zirong standing there instead of Feng Xinying.
