Chapter 92 - Let Down (2/2)
”You think I will mix my personal and professional stuff?”
”Considering how red your eyes seemed when you entered from your supposed 'walk', I cannot help but question that,” he smiled.
His gaze bored into her as he said, ”You only cry when it's something related to Xiaosi. I know you very well. We have spent seven years together after all.”
Shuang said nothing.
Yunru said, ”You know I am not unreasonable. I wouldn't have stopped you and frankly I don't have that right. After all, it's just a casual relationship between us, isn't it?”
”Yunru-”
”But it would have been nice if you would have just told me once yourself. I feel let down.”
He got up and picked his keys.
”Where are you going?”
He faintly smiled and lowered his head. ”For a walk.”

The next morning, as Xinyi stepped into Shuang's office, she frowned as she saw nobody.
Didn't Shuang reach yet? She wondered. She might be late.
She quickly dropped the message to Shuang that she was waiting for her in her office. Xinyi took a seat and sighed.
Her thoughts went back to how she saw Zhiyuan in stress last night after he returned from meeting Shuang. Even she was just as shocked to know from him that Shuang had feelings for Xiaosi.
This came as something completely unexpected to her. And since last night, she wondered why didn't Shuang ever confess her feelings to Xiaosi?
She was a very direct person. She didn't like to hide things. What was in her heart was always on her tongue.
Is it because she knew that Xiaosi loved Caihong?
Now that was another troubling question.
She was confused as to which of Xiaosi's side to believe.
At one time he said that he always loved Caihong and then he changed his words to only using her to get revenge on Zhiyuan.
What is the truth?
”What is the truth…” Xinyi was mumbling to herself.
”And what is this truth you are referring to Mrs. Han?”
Xinyi froze. She slowly turned and stiffened on seeing Xiaosi leaning on the door and smiling at her.
”You...what are you doing here?”
Xiaosi smiled as he stepped in. ”Surprised? You must be so thrilled, right? I have the same feelings.”
Xinyi gritted her teeth. ”Leave!”
”Come on Xinyi. We are going to work together now. We should maintain a good relationship.”
”What? Working together?”
”Yup. Didn't Shuang tell you? Oops. I guess she forgot. No wonder you came here. I thought I won't see you.”
Xinyi furrowed her brows. ”Why are you working with us? I will be just an artist.”
He chuckled. ”And I will be the security guard.”
”If you don't want to answer me seriously, then please refrain from talking to me.”
Xiaosi sighed and took a seat beside her. ”What? I am seriously telling my role. You know? A terrible thing happened to Shuang two days back. Her precious game was almost hacked.”
She widened her eyes. ”Hacked?”
”Yup. She came to my help. I am the CEO of the S3 group after all. Security is my forte. And as her good friend, how could I reject her? So we decided on a collaboration. My company will give all the security to all the apps and games from hacking and unethical attacks.”
Xinyi looked at him suspiciously.
The hacking attack in itself seemed planned and suspicious.
Xiaosi stared at her amusingly. ”Ouch. That hurts Xinyi. Do you think I would ever do something so disgraceful?”
”You have caused nothing but trouble ever since you have returned. It wouldn't be surprising if you did something to force this collaboration though I don't understand your motives.”
Xiaosi suddenly jumped up from his seat and in a flash, leaned in, resting his arms on her chair handles. Xinyi jolted by the way the distance was suddenly lessened.
”What are you doing!”
”What if my motive is you?” Xiaosi raised his brow.
”You...get away from me!”
”By the way, did your dear son tell you about the school picnic?”
Xinyi pursed her lips.
”I take that silence as yes. So we will meet again. It would be so much fun. Just like the cruise trip.”
She glared at him. ”I won't let you do anything to Zhiyuan or Siying!”
”Just shut up and take your seat Xiaosi or I will kick you out!”
They heard Shuang's angry voice as she entered her office. Xiaosi snorted and withdrew. ”Why is the Boss herself late?”
”I am the Boss. I can be late any time I wish.”
She glanced at Xinyi. ”By now, you must have already known that he is, unfortunately, working with us. I am sorry I couldn't tell you earlier. If you want to leave then I won't blame you.”
