Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Life Was Unpredictable

It was strange that he couldn’t help leaving a mark on her body every time in bed, as if leaving a mark on her body was an announcement about his ownership of her to the world.

Xia Yu’s figure was not too hot, but it was so exquisite, and her skin was especially white. Under the morning light, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of white glaze.

Shen Yan Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat, and then Xia Yu realized that she was still naked, immediately pulling the quilt up. “You go to take a bath!”

Shen Yan laughed loudly. The morning light was so great, and he was in such a good mood.

After Shen Yan walked into the bathroom, Xia Yu took a breath, and her fingers were still licking the quilt. But it actually seemed to be somewhat artificial. Was it meaningful? Everything that needed to be done had been done. He had seen every inch of her body.

Xia Yu felt upset inevitably when thinking about it. She got out of bed and slipped on the clothes and pants on the floor. When she just got dressed, her mobile phone started to ring. She took over it to have a look, and it was from Xiao Tang.

Why did she call her early in the morning?

Xia Yu picked it up, and Xiao Tang said in a very light tone, “Xia Yu, good morning!”

Xia Yu paused. She called her early in the morning just to say good morning? She was a little confused and then replied, “Good morning!”

“How’s your throat? Why does your voice sound even huskier?”

“Don’t mention it. I felt uncomfortable when I got up in the morning.” Xia Yu said to herself. It turned out that she called her early in the morning to ask about her throat, not to say good morning.

But it was highly unlikely. Xia Yu frowned and said, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing serious. I just want to ask about the plan. Did you show it to the President yesterday?” Before Xia Yu could reply, Xiao Tang said again, “The assistant of Young Master Li has been asking about it all the time. Knowing that you have been so busy recently, he did not dare to call you directly, so then he called me.”

That was it. Xia Yu had thought that she had changed her temper originally. Xia Yu’s eyes fell on the bag at the side, and the documents were placed inside. “He agreed in principle, and let’s talk about the details when I arrive at the office later.”

“OK. I believe that Secretary Xia can handle everything in person. I’ll inform the assistant of Young Master Li to let them rest assured right now.” After listening to Xia Yu’s words, Xiao Tang felt relieved and then hung up the phone. She hadn’t washed her face yet, and she didn’t want to be late.

Shen Yan dried his hair with a towel. Seeing Xia Yu holding the phone in her hand, he asked, “Who called you so early?”

“Xiao Tang. Young Master Li’s men are hastening them. They said that Young Master Yan had been secretive in his movement and trace recently, and they were afraid of delaying their business.” Xia Yu said and put the phone into the bag.

Shen Yan stopped his action of drying his hair and suddenly smiled with the corners of his mouth upward. “Are you checking my trip?”

“I am not interested in it. I just want to ask about the plan that I showed you yesterday. If you intend to implement it, I will finalize it with Li Wen.” She was serious, but what was he thinking about? He should not forget that Xia Yu was his secretary. Wherever he went, Xia Yu would know in most cases.

As for those things which she couldn’t know, she was not interested in them.

Shen Yan frowned, but soon he smiled with the corners of his mouth upward. He threw the towel aside and held Xia Yu over. Xia Yu could not help leaning back.

“What are you doing? You are covered in water!”

He had just taken a shower. His upper body was bare, and he didn’t dry it. The water in his hair was still dripping down. But he held Xia Yu in his arms so tightly. He was still steaming. Feeling his body temperature and seeing his well-defined chest muscles, Xia Yu took a breath secretly, and her ears were a bit hot.

He seemed to see through her uneasiness, lowering his head to blow a breath on her face gently. “What are you afraid of? You’ve seen it already.”

He intentionally took Xia Yu’s hand to put it on his own psoas muscle to tease her. Xia Yu tried hard to hide, but he kept pressing her hand on it tightly. He lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. “It is still early. How about we do it again?”

He should be restrained, okay? Xia Yu glared at him and pushed him away.

On the road, Shen Yan received a phone call from Liu Sijie. It seemed that there was a very urgent matter, so Xia Yu let Shen Yan drop her off and do his work first.

Shen Yan really dropped Xia Yu off at the intersection and hurried away. It seemed that he really had something to do. Xia Yu gasped. Originally, she wanted to take a taxi to the company, but after waiting in the draught at rush hour for ten minutes helplessly, no empty car passed by.

Just when she thought she would be late for work, Li Tianci drove over. “Why? Are you waiting for a taxi?”

Xia Yu pretended not to see him, deliberately taking a few steps to the side.

“I know that you have seen me and heard my words. Hop in. I have something to tell you.” Li Tianci opened the car door and let Xia Yu come up.

He knew Xia Yu’s temper well. If not necessary, he would not be stupid enough to come over to see her poker face.

Xia Yu held her phone and ruthlessly raised her head to glare at Li Tianci with a sullen look, while the latter just took another slow drag on his cigarette. After dawdling for a while, she finally walked towards his car and got into it. She put the bag on her knees with great strength.

“Drop me off at the intersection ahead!”

Li Tianci slanted the corner of his mouth and threw the cigarette. He took a cup of coffee from the side shelf and handed over it to Xia Yu. “Warm your hands by holding it. What a bad temper! I really don’t know how Shen Yan could endure you till now.”

“…” It was none of your business. Xia Yu reluctantly picked up the coffee. The paper cup was still hot, and Li Tianci bought it in the coffee shop nearby when he just waited for her, as if he knew that she would finally get on his car!

“Xia Yu, Shen Mo will marry Zeng Mina. Do you know it?” It was not far from Tengfei, so Li Tian had to hurry to talk to Xia Yu. This woman did not like him, so if he didn’t finish the words he wanted to say before they reached Tengfei, she would not wait for him.

This was what he came for in the early morning? Xia Yu said faintly, “Do you think I should know that?”

“Xia Yu, let’s make it clear. Will it be good for Shen Yan if Shen Mo and Zeng Mina get married?” Li Tianci was really irritated by Xia Yu. How could she talk to him in such a tone?

“Is it that they will not get married if I don’t think it is good? Since it is not controlled by my will, why should I care about other people’s business?” Xia Yu held the coffee, even not lifting her eyelids.

“Well, you are good!” Li Tianci really admired Xia Yu somewhat. It was no wonder that Shen Yan wanted to marry her, as she really could be a parallel with Old Madame.

Originally, he wanted to let Xia Yu pass a message for him that he wanted to stop Shen Mo’s actions with Shen Yan jointly, but it seemed that they had to use the second plan this time.

Without common words, Li Tianci did not speak anymore then, and Xia Yu was happy about it, so neither of them spoke then. The car quickly entered the location where Tengfei was located. The intersection was just ahead. There were a lot of cars on the road, and inside them were the people coming to work.

Xia Yu pointed to the intersection at the front and said to Li Tianci, “Pull over at the front!”

You really regarded me as a driver, right? Li Tianci was so angry, and he didn’t speak.

Seeing that Li Tianci seemed to have no intention to stop, Xia Yu was a little anxious. “Have you heard it? Pull over!”

The car was still on its way. Seeing that they were closer and closer to Tengfei, Xia Yu grabbed the steering wheel and turned it to the roadside with anger. The car was off the original trajectory and almost hit the front car. Fortunately, Li Tianci reacted quickly. He jammed on the brakes, and the car finally stopped. There was a cracking sound in the car. Both of them rushed forward and bounced back quickly. After a few seconds of silence, the man suddenly punched the steering wheel heavily.

“What are you afraid of?”

“What do you think?”

Xia Yu directly turned around and immodestly glanced at him coldly. She pulled open the door and went down from the car. She slammed the door shut, and Li Tianci felt that his scalp was tightening for no reason. When he reacted, Xia Yu had already walked a few meters away. With the thin and stubborn back, she carried a bag across the road alone and was quickly overwhelmed by the traffic and crowds around her.

The damn woman! I would not kidnap her in broad daylight. But he himself didn’t believe it when he thought about it. After all, he had kidnapped her twice, while once was at night and once was during the day. Speaking of it, this woman was really bold, as she still dared to get into his car. Li Tianci knocked on the steering wheel with extreme irritability again and restarted the car. He stepped on the gas directly.

Xia Yu was still late. Firstly, she had waited for a car at the door for too long. Secondly, she needed to walk a long way to get to the company. After so much ado, she still failed to punch in before 8:30, so her face looked obviously gloomy when she got into the office. The subordinates seemed to see that she was in a bad mood, so no one dared to look for her all morning.

Near noon, she calmed down a little. She took half a cup of warm water and gulped two pills. The throat seemed to hurt more seriously. She felt dazed and seemed to have a low fever.

Finally, she had to accept Xiao Tang’s suggestion to go to the hospital for an injection. After all, she still had a game later, and she didn’t want to be sick to show up at that time.

After the injection, Xia Yu thought of Li Tianci’s words. This poor girl! She was used by others when she was awake, and now she was still used by others when she was in a coma. Thinking so, she couldn’t help walking into Zeng Mina’s ward slowly.

She lived in a VIP ward, the condition of which was much better than that of an average ward. At least, the air was clean, and the bedding was clean. The girl lying on the bed was also clean. But she looked very bad. Her face was almost blue-gray, and she was much thinner than before.

Her long flowing hair was also shaved completely. After the operation, Zeng Mina received a craniotomy. The person lying on the bed now had half of her head sagged, and the recently grown hair was sticking up on the scalp, while the wounds and stitches underneath the hair could still be seen clearly. With a severely deformed head, the person lying there now looked grisly and ugly.

Xia Yu thought of seeing this girl for the first time, when she was in a dress with bright teeth as well as bright eyes and provoked her, whose whole body was exuding arbitrary publicity and beauty.

Probably many people envied Zeng Mina before as she had a rich family, a beautiful face, and a daddy who was rolling in money and loved her so much. She could own billions of wealth without any struggle, and her life was just like a miracle. But just after a few months, her father was gone, and her family was scattered. Even she herself was lying here on the verge of death because of a car accident. And it was still unknown whether she could wake up later.

Xia Yu still remembered the news that she browsed last night. The doctor said that she might never wake up again. Even if she woke up, she should not be able to return to her original appearance. This was a piece of news worthy of sympathy, while everybody was cheering below and blaming her for what she did. They scolded her and said that it was karma.

Look! Most people were not kind, but did karma really exist?

Xia Yu did not believe it. She sat down by the bed and gently held Zeng Mina’s hand outside the quilt. There was no temperature on her hand at all. The arm that was exposed outside the sleeve was so thin that the bones and blue veins below could be seen clearly.

Xia Yu took a deep breath. If it wasn’t for the pulse sensor on Zeng Mina’s fingers, and if the heart rate was not shown on the screen while the flowing lines on the screen proved that the person lying in bed was still alive, people would think that she was dead as everything else existed seemingly with no life feature there.

Xia Yu had stood by the bed for a while. Actually, she didn’t need to come over, and she didn’t have a position to come over. But after she heard the news, she just thought she should come here to see her by any means.
