Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 448

Xia Yu smiled and said without too much care, “It is said that going to the operation without company is the loneliest thing in the world. Now I have suffered it. Compared with it, watching a movie alone, eating the hot pot alone, or going to the KTV alone can’t be counted as lonely things. I mean that you don’t have to care for me so carefully. I could receive an operation alone, so I can handle the cold, which is not a big deal at all.”

Shen Yan put the bowl on the table and held Xia Yu’s hand. He stared at the scar on it carefully. He frowned and said, “You don’t have to suffer from this kind of loneliness in the future since you have me. I will be always by your side.”

“Yes, I have already kept what you said in my mind. You can’t eat your promise.” Xia Yu pointed at her head and said. Every woman liked sweet promises. Xia Yu was one of them, too.

Shen Yan held her hand and said with intense emotion, “When did I, Young Master Yan, eat any promise?”

“Then I will believe you once.” Xia Yu rested in his arms and said pretentiously.

Young people always had strong resistance. Xia Yu was as energetic as a baby tiger the next day. She attended a banquet with Shen Yan at night.

Shen Yan brought her to know a lot of people. After a round, she had many business cards in her purse. She also drank a lot, but it was champagne with a low alcohol degree. But her face still turned a little red.

Before the official start of the banquet, Xia Yu went to the lady’s room. When she came out of the compartment, she unexpectedly saw Kang Lan at the sink. Kang Lan also saw her in the mirror and turned her head. Then she said to Xia Yu, “Are you here, too?”

“Yes!” Xia Yu didn’t expect that she would greet her first. And it was in a peaceful way.

“Young Master Yan really pampers you very much.” She curled up a smile at the corners of her mouth, which was very meaningful. “But I heard that he had a lot of girlfriends before.”

This was not a secret. Xia Yu laughed twice and said, “Did he?”

“Yeah! Too many!” After saying this, Kang Lan turned around and left. However, she took a few steps and then turned back to say to Xia Yu, “Do not think that he is your boyfriend since he really loves you. He won’t really love you. Another woman is in his heart.”

“That woman is irreplaceable.”

After saying the last sentence, Kang Lan looked at Xia Yu. They were both the rich second generation, and they both met Chen Wenxuan. Why could Xia Yu be so blessed while she suffered a lot and even endured the pain of being put into jail?

Luckily, she knew a secret that Shen Yan might not love her. Kang Lan felt balanced in her heart.

“Nonsense!” Xia Yu had no good feelings about her, so she wouldn’t believe her naturally.

“Nonsense?” Kang Lan smiled very brightly and then continued to say, “Although I am not familiar with you, under normal circumstances, I naturally will not gossip in front of you. But you are the ex-girlfriend of Chen Wenxuan, so I have to care about you anyway, right? Then I found something during the process. You don’t have to thank me. Care about yourself then.”

After saying that, Kang Lan turned around and left elegantly.

Insane! It was impossible and weird for that woman to tell even one good thing.

Xia Yu should have neglected her. But indeed, many women were around Shen Yan before, among whom one might be really loved by him. Xia Yu was not a girl aged 17 or 18. She could think about it, but she didn’t think in this way before. No one had ever mentioned it, so she automatically ignored it.

Today…

Who was that woman?

Kang Lan’s words were like a stone falling into the lake of her heart, which made a huge reflection. There was no peace in that lake anymore.

When she returned to the hall, the banquet had started officially. Xia Yu sat down beside Shen Yan. He held Xia Yu’s hands. She tried to escape, but she failed. He turned to her and smiled gently. He said in her ear, “Your hands are cold. In my hands, they will become warmer.”

Seeing his gentle smile, Kang Lan’s words came into her mind. Who was that woman hidden in his heart on earth? Why wasn’t he with her? She herself was not gentle at all, and when she was dating him, he didn’t know that she was the only daughter of the Ruyi Tower, and she couldn’t help him with his business.

Then was it because she was like that woman that he was interested in her and was determined to date her?

So, she herself was a substitute? How could this be accepted by Xia Yu who was proud and arrogant?

If it was true, what should she do? Should she break up with him? Was she willing to break up?

Questions came into her mind one after another. Xia Yu was utterly confused.

“What’s wrong? It looks like your soul has left your body.” He looked at Xia Yu with his intense feelings. It seemed that he was about to look through her soul.

Xia Yu shook her head and said that she was fine. She buried all those questions inside forcedly. Whether there was a woman who Shen Yan loved in his heart or not, their relationship had been built up already. Xia Yu would not give it up easily.

Xia Yu’s mind was in the absence all night. After the banquet, she sprained her ankle accidentally when they came to the door, which was not so serious. Maybe it was because Xia Yu was out of form.

But Shen Yan was serious about it. He must check it when they got home. Then he helped to rub her ankle.

“Thank you!” Xia Yu pulled back her foot and thanked him.

“I hope to get some practical gratitude in return.” His eyes showed a little expectation.

Xia Yu leaned forward and kissed him on his lips. She slightly lifted the corners of her eyes and asked him in a low voice, “Satisfied with this gratitude?”

“No, I want this.”

With the finish of this sentence, his hands were put on the back of her head, and his lips were pressed onto hers heavily. After a long kiss, Xia Yu was already soft in his arms with her chest heaving violently.

His hands gently stroked Xia Yu’s shoulder fondly, and then he kissed her on her forehead. Then he released her and said in a hoarse voice, “Have an early rest! Nighty night!”

Xia Yu browsed the internet forum at work the next day after she finished her work, seeing that Bao Na’s parents posted a message to defend their daughter.

Xia Yu felt very grieved in her heart when she saw Bao Na’s parents’ tearful posting. Then she saw some comments, which gave a lot of compassion to Bao Na. Many people appealed and said that she should be sentenced to be innocent, which comforted Xia Yu very much.

In the afternoon, Xia Yu went out to meet a customer. Because it was hard to park at that place they had appointed, she then took a taxi. On the road back, she wanted to stop a taxi when she walked on the road. But she waited for a few minutes, and no taxi came to her.

Xia Yu walked forward another hundred meters. Suddenly, a strong man popped up beside her and caught her hands. He shouted with rage, “Fool woman! I finally found you. Go home with me.”

Xia Yu was shocked for an instant. She didn’t react until that man pulled her into a black van next to them. She struggled like all possessed and shouted, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”

“You even don’t know your husband? You bitch ran away with another man and left your parents and kids alone at home. How could you be so cruel? Go home with me now.” The man looked at Xia Yu angrily and continued pulling her into the van.

Xia Yu was surprised in her heart. It was obvious that this man did not wrongly recognize her but wanted to kidnap her. She had seen the news before, which said that someone used this way to kidnap the woman from the street and sell her to the mountain to force her to marry those bachelors.

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she felt. Cold sweats kept coming out of her forehead. A cold stream of air rushed over from the soles of her feet to her head. She kicked on the van not to let herself get pushed inside with one of her feet. She tried her best to shout to the passers-by for help. “Help me! I really don’t know him! He is not my husband. He wants to kidnap me. Please! Please call the police.”

At this time, a woman aged about 60 came out of the van with a child aged about 3 or 4 in her arms. That child opened his mouth and called her mom. People who were about to help her left immediately when they heard this.

Xia Yu was both worried and irritated. That man started to scold her again when she had no plan to carry out.

“Guys, don’t listen to her. She is my wife. This is our family affair. You guys can go now.” The woman who called herself as the mother-in-law of Xia Yu also started to persuade people to leave.

If the crowd really left, Xia Yu would be the dead fish on the cutting board. An idea popped up in her mind. She shouted, “I am the girlfriend of Shen Yan. I am also the daughter of Ruyi Tower’s boss. I cooked on TV the other day. You can search on the Internet if you do not believe me.”

“Gee! She really looks like Xia Yu.” When Xia Yu finished speaking, someone in the crowd said.

Xia Yu felt happy in her heart. “Save me! These guys are kidnappers.”

The man’s face darkened in an instant. He strengthened his power on the hands. The woman holding a child put the child back to the van at once and then helped to pull Xia Yu. Xia Yu was managing with an effort already. Now two people were pulling her. She was not able to fight back at all. Half of her body was pushed into the van.

When struggling, she was even slapped by that woman.

When Xia Yu felt helpless, the hands of that strong man were suddenly loosened. Xia Yu turned her head to have a look. It was two men who pulled him away. Only one old woman was catching her, and she took the chance to kick her in the calf, which made her whine. Then she released Xia Yu.

Xia Yu ran to the crowd in a hurry and hid behind a middle-aged woman.

The strong man and the old woman saw that Xia Yu escaped and knew that they had lost the chance to push her into the van, so they got into the van immediately and drove away.

“Your bag!” The man who just helped Xia Yu picked up the bag on the ground and handed it over to her.

Xia Yu hurried to thank him and then thanked all the other people around.

Although she had escaped from danger, she was still in shock. Her body shook like a sieve. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were torn. Even one of her shoes was dropped when she was struggling just now. She was in a mess all over. But she still felt fortunate since she was not taken into the van just now. If Xia Yu was pushed into the van, she could not imagine what she would confront.

“They are too rampant. They kidnapped people under the light of day.” People around said angrily.

Some people accompanied Xia Yu to the police station to give an alarm. But those people had escaped, and they didn’t whether the police could arrest them. After the record, the police asked Xia Yu to go home and wait for their news.

After experiencing all those things just now and coming out of the police station, Xia Yu was like a bird on a wire when she was walking on the road. Anyone who approached her would make her tremble out of shock. She felt a little relieved when she got into the taxi.

The phone in her bag suddenly rang at this time. Xia Yu took it out and found it was Shen Yan.

After she picked up the phone, she didn’t know why she suddenly wanted to cry. She answered him with sobs.

“Xia Yu, are you crying? What happened?” Shen Yan keenly noticed that something was wrong with her.

After experiencing what just happened, Xia Yu’s sense of safety lowered down to the bottom. She needed someone to comfort her at this time. She told him what happened to her just now when she heard the anxious voice of Shen Yan on the phone.

“Where are you? I will go to pick you up at once.” Shen Yan immediately went to the place Xia Yu had told him to pick her up and then took her home after he knew the whole thing.

Shortly after, Liu Sijie hurried back, too. Seeing Shen Yan was comforting Xia Yu, he went over to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Yu told Liu Sijie what she had told Shen Yan before. After hearing what happened to Xia Yu, Liu Sijie frowned tightly.

“Get into the room and have a good rest. There are many monitors everywhere on the street now. That is fine. I believe that the police will find them in a few days.” Shen Yan persuaded Xia Yu to get into the bedroom.

“What do you think of this?” After Xia Yu left, Shen Yan asked Liu Sijie.

“Obviously, someone did this intentionally. The purpose is to make news and deliberately ruin Xia Yu’s reputation so that Old Madame will be annoyed.” Liu Sijie analyzed and said.
