176 In the Future, I Wonst Bully You Anymore (2/2)

After she finished her scolding—bang!—she flung the phone away.

Her body fell back onto Yan Rusheng's wide and comfortable chair.

The phones outside continued to ring.

”Xuxu...”

Suddenly, the office door flung open and a tall figure dashed in.

With the flashlight in his hand, he shone it at Wen Xuxu who was sitting at his desk.

”Yan Rusheng, you're such a jerk.” Xuxu got up and rushed towards the tall figure while crying.

When she stood in front of him, she made a fist and struck his chest with all her strength. ”It was wrong of me to doze off in the middle of the meeting. You can punish me, scold me or even criticize me. But why did you have to play such a prank to scare me? Didn't you know I was scared out of my wits?”

She hit him while crying at the same time. Her emotions were clearly out of control.

Yan Rusheng heard her sobbing and complaining. His heart skipped a beat.

He reached out his arms and embraced her. His heart ached for her, and he blamed himself. ”It was all my fault. Don't be afraid anymore.”

”I hate you.” Xuxu buried her head in Yan Rusheng's chest and sobbed loudly. ”You don't have to like me, but why do you have to torment me?”

Her hands gripped the sleeves of his shirt.

She hated him and hated herself even more. She had been with him for so many years, but he didn't have a trace of affection for her. Yet, she was still steadfastly in love with him.

Yan Rusheng felt her tiny body shivering.

She must be badly frightened.

He didn't know how to comfort her, and the only thing he could do was to embrace her tightly.

So it turned out that Wen Xuxu was also afraid of the dark just like any ordinary woman, except that she was a little tougher and more obstinate.

He patted her head lightly with his warm palm. There was a hint of tenderness in his voice. ”In the future, I... won't bully you anymore.”
