Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 558

“Zeng Mina came back for Xiao Man. After all, she had helped Zeng Family a lot. After she came back, she found me and asked me to give Xiao Man to her. To be honest, I was also looking for that woman, but I never got her news. I only found the tape of her being raped. Anyway, that thing was useless to me, so I gave it to her.” It was rare for Shen Mo to say a lot.

“Why couldn’t she be found?” Xia Yu murmured.

“I’m not a superman. It also took a long time for me to find Brother Hu that time after they hid. It will take time.” Shen Mo glanced at Xia Yu, frowning.

His words made sense, so Xia Yu nodded, “So why are you here?”

“I want to talk to you about our Shen Family.” Shen Mo said directly. He believed that Xia Yu would not mind his directness. All she and Shen Yan needed was a marriage certificate at this time, and they would probably get it the next day if they liked.

“You’d better talk to Shen Yan. I’m sorry. I have a terrible headache.” Xia Yu threw the cigarette butt out of the car window. She actually didn’t smoke, but she was in a terribly bad mood at this time.

Glancing at Xia Yu, Shen Mo realized that it was not the right time for him to come to her this day, “That’s fine. Let’s talk next time.”

Shen Mo got out of the car. Xia Yu stared at him leaving her car and driving away, and did not move still. She didn’t react until she heard someone knocking on her car window.

“Xiao Qiang, why are you here?” Xia Yu was surprised.

“I’ve been here for a while. Are you okay?” Shen Qiang opened the door and got in the car.

“Your eldest brother just left.” Xia Yu said.

“I have seen him long ago.” Actually, Shen Qiang came here earlier than Shen Mo did, but he did not greet Shen Mo. He was really disappointed in his eldest brother, “Did he give you a hard time?”

“No. He said he had something to talk about with me. But I told him I was in a bad mood.” Xia Yu shook her head.

“What’s wrong, sister?”

“Zeng Mina was back, and she invited me to dinner.”

Xia Yu did not hide her whereabouts from Shen Qiang, but she did not tell him what they had talked about.

Shen Yan held a meeting in the afternoon in the company, and the content of the meeting was how to increase the company’s sales. He made a plan which had been adopted long ago. At the meeting, the sales manager proposed some remarks for modification. After consultation and discussion, the group reached the final version.

It was already seven o’clock at the end of the meeting. The sales manager suddenly wanted to eat mutton and offered to go for a drink together. Everyone responded to his call with excitement, except Shen Yan.

“You go. I still have something to do!”

The subordinates were discouraged, and Liu Sijie couldn’t bear it most. He came to Shen Yan and teased him, “Workaholic. Work will never be done. Don’t you even have time for a meal?”

Shen Yan thought about it, and then found that he really didn’t have time. He had so much work to do, so how could he have spare time to eat roast whole sheep with them? He could only laugh with regret, “I really don’t have time. You go, and charge it to me. Come to the office to fight tomorrow! ”

People hissed, and Liu Sijie slammed his shoulder.

“Fine, but I’m afraid that you don’t go back for work, but for somebody.” Xia Yu didn’t participate in the meeting this day, so Shen Yan’s heart must have flown to her already.

“That’s right. Secretary Xia just happened to go out for work, and she must have been at home already. Young Master Yan is anxious to go back to see her.”

“I see. Since you have an appointment with a beautiful lady, we won’t force you then.” People hooted.

Soon the people in the meeting room scattered. Shen Yan packed up the computer and prepared to go back to the office first, but Liu Sijie still sat there, holding a cup in his hand, knocking on the table with the other hand leisurely.

“You really won’t join us for dinner?”

“Really.”

“I’ve heard that Xia Yu is with a group of sisters. Who are you going to meet so anxiously?”

“Nobody!”

“I don’t believe it!”

“I don’t care.”

Shen Yan packed up his belongings and was ready to walk out, while Liu Sijie pulled him again.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ve called Zhang Hanyu in the morning. He seems to be close to Xia Yu recently.”

Shen Yan held the files, frowning, “So?”

“You really don’t understand or you are pretending you don’t?”

“So what do you want to say?”

Liu Sijie stared at his expressionless face for a few seconds, and tapped his fingers on the table hard, “Come on! It seems that I think too much. By the way, Young Master Mo came to Xia Yu last night.”

Shen Yan glanced at Liu Sijie, and then returned to the office, working for another while. At about eight o’clock, he came back from work, eating something casually on the way back. He drove to the underground garage directly, and then took the elevator from the underground garage to the upper floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the induction light in the corridor lighted up. He heard footsteps behind him then. Turning around, he saw that Xia Yu came out of the dark corner like a ghost, which frightened him badly. She limped to Shen Yan with a pale face.

Shen Yan frowned and asked, “Why are you here?”

Yes. Why was she here? She couldn’t tell why. She just felt suffocated, and she wanted to see him so urgently, so she came here from home.

Seeing that she didn’t speak and she was in a trance with blank eyes, Shen Yan didn’t continue to ask her then, but opened the door with the key.

“Come in first.”

Xia Yu followed him into the room stiffly with a pale face, and one of her hands was still in her pocket. Shen Yan put down his briefcase and poured a cup of warm water for her. Since she looked strange, he wanted to help her sit down on the sofa, but Xia Yu just stood there and refused to move.

Shen Yan could only take a deep breath and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The woman in front of him looked up, casting her empty eyes on his face.

“Where were you on 9th?”

“What?”

“Answer me. Where were you?”

Why did she ask about it? Shen Yan could only frown and ask, “What’s wrong on earth?”

Xia Yu laughed weakly.

“You can’t remember?”

“Grandma was in the hospital for rescue, and the whole family was there.”

“Xiao Man was raped that day.”

Shen Yan’s scalp tingled. He didn’t understand why she suddenly mentioned it, and he could only hold her shoulder with one hand.

“What happened on earth?”

“Those people who kidnapped me also kidnapped Zeng Quan and forced Xiao Man to set me up.”

“I know. Those people have already confessed. The police are still looking for Xiao Man and Zeng Quan. How do you know this?”

“How do I know this?” Xia Yu started shaking her head constantly.

Shen Yan felt more and more that she was in a trance, so he held her shoulders and pushed her towards the sofa, “Sit down and talk.”

Xia Yu was pinned down on the sofa by him finally. Shen Yan put the cup down, and asked again, “Is there anything wrong?”

Xia Yu still shook her head.

Shen Yan had been in a bad mood recently as well, while seeing her like this, he didn’t dare to shout at her. So he could only speak in a soft voice.

“What’s going on? Make it clear!”

While Xia Yu just stared at his eyes, and suddenly asked, “Weren’t you surprised when hearing she was raped?”

What kind of question was it? Should he be surprised? That woman hurt his fiancee, no matter what her purpose was. Shen Yan had not found her yet. After finding her, he didn’t know how he would punish her. He looked down and frowned, answering reluctantly, “No!”

“She was raped!”

“But I almost can’t see you anymore because of her!”

“But, but…”

Shen Yan was a little irritated by such a nagging Xia Yu. He let go of her and said, “What’s the matter with you today?”

Xia Yu sneered, shook her head, and murmured in a low voice.

“The punishment is too severe. She is pregnant….” Speaking of that, she showed weird coldness on her face.

Shen Yan didn’t know what to do then. He leaned over and twiddled her fingers that were exposed outside her sleeves. Her fingers were cold. He held them in his palms, stoking them gently to warm them.

“Don’t be like this. It’s just a trivial thing. You don’t need to be like this.” Shen Yan leaned over and held Xia Yu in his arms. Xia Yu put her head on his shoulder softly, with one hand held by him and the other in her pocket….

Shen Yan asked Xia Yu to stay there that night. After taking a bath, they lay quietly on the bed and turned off the lights. He held Xia Yu from behind, “You wanna have sex?”

Xia Yu didn’t respond. Shen Yan knew that she was in a bad mood, so he just kissed her on the shoulder gently, “That’s fine. Sleep. Good night.”

After that, neither of them spoke. Hearing slight snores from behind, Xia Yu knew that Shen Yan was asleep.

Xia Yu looked at the window opposite the bed in a daze. The moon was bright outside, shedding a silver glow on the floor of the bedroom.

Was she afraid? And what was the deepest fear in the world? It was the inexpressible but haunting experience in the heart.

The next day was a weekend day, but Shen Yan was used to getting up early. He woke up naturally at about seven o’clock. Reaching out, he felt an empty pillow.

He pulled back the blanket and got out of bed, hearing the sound of water coming from the restroom.

“Xia Yu.” He knocked twice at the door of the restroom, and the sound of water inside gradually died away. The door opened quickly. Shen Yan took a deep breath, “I thought you’ve left!”

When he spoke, his eyes fell on Xia Yu’s chest naturally. She only wore underwear after the shower. Her breasts were not full, which might be a B cup, while they looked beautiful.

Shen Yan saw her the first time at the gate of Sheng Da. She kicked his car, and they were on the verge of breaking out a fight at their first meeting. At first glance, he felt the woman was bored and self-righteous, but he was fascinated by her temperament dozens of hours later.

Especially when she forced Luo Jiancheng to sign the contract. Her domineering spirit remained fresh in his memory.

“You’ve taken a shower?” Shen Yan asked, his voice hoarse.

Xia Yu pulled a towel to dry her hair.

“Yeah. I’ll get dressed!” She passed by Shen Yan, but she was pulled by him after half step, and then she was pinned against the wall.

“That’s great. How about having sex with me?”

He was straightforward and somewhat rude. They had had sex before, but his words sounded particularly harsh this time.

She looked at Shen Yan’s eyes faintly which looked energetic after a sleep and a little bit wet out of the hot air in the bathroom. She thought of the video that Zeng Mina showed her suddenly, feeling particularly irritable.

“I don’t want to have sex.” Xia Yu replied bluntly and walked past him.

“Are you still in a bad mood?” Shen Yan was disappointed obviously.
