The Cage Of The Past - Chapter 45

The tears of despair and resentment dropped wildly from Xiaoxi Chen’s eyes. Endless sadness and despair came over her, and Xiaoxi felt nothing but ashes in her heart. Is this the feeling of far away and not within the foreseeable future?

The coffee was placed on the table, but she sat down on the sofa beside her, with her head buried deep in her ŀȧp. Suddenly, a pair of black shoes appeared in her dim view.

Slowly she looked up and saw the man standing in front of her. He was looking at her, his chin was smooth, there is something stirred in those eyes, and stung her eyes out of sudden.

Rouzhen Gu frowned a little. “You are hiding here and cry?”

If he did not mention about the cry word, perhaps her tears would not be so much, but the moment he said so, her tears can’t stop anymore! Just look at him, her tears fall, crystal clear.

Rouzhen Gu suddenly reaches out his hand and gently pulled her into his arms.

She was like a lifeless doll, let him embrace, doesn’t move at all, not even to resist. She just knew that the hug didn’t belong to her! Even how domineering he is, not reasonable, also does not belong to her! They are two different people with different statuses.

“Sir CEO, let go of me!” There was no warmth in her voice. “Your coffee is ready!”

She returned to her usual manner instantly, she had gone through much tough life, she was Xiaoxi Chen, she’s okay to go through this disaster, she could have done it!

He felt a twinge of pain and the feeling spread as he watched her rapidly faking herself.

Xiaoxi Chen smelled the perfume on his body, and this time there was no smell of tobacco, it must be, just changed clothes and haven’t smoke yet!

He saw the glint of her neck on her collar, it’s spotty marks, and there was a strange flash of light in his eyes, but just for an instant, then followed and walk out.

Just out of the pantry room and bumped into Zion Ni “Rou, Rou, the weather is not bad today, want to go to the Gold Coast Baths?”

“Alright!” Rouzhen Gu hooks his lips angle, very happy to agree.

Zion Ni surprised, when he is so good to speak, inexplicable and open his mouth. “Rou Rou! You look great today! Unexpectedly didn’t scold me and your face showed a vibrant look that likes having a love life. Or did you eat something pleasant?” Rouzhen didn’t answer, he just smiled.

Gold Coast Baths.

“Rou Rou, are you sure you haven’t handed in some romantic life recently?” Zion Ni wears swimming pants and followed him then asked that question. All-day long, he felt that Rouzhen Gu is having an unusual act, makes people around him wonder.

“Damn you!”Rouzhen Gu had changed into a swimming trunk and came out with a smile on his face.

“Tch,tch,tch! Hey, I’m asking you!” Zion Ni turned around to see the figure of Rouzhen Gu, confused, sighed and said: “Never thought that your body figure is looking good lately!”

Rouzhen Gu has the model figure in appearance. He had a handsome face and a tall figure which won’t be too strong, won’t be too thin and weak, proper elite, very sėxy and attractive.

“You’re also the same!” Rouzhen Gu seems to have more words today and he keeps becoming pleasant and no sound of sarcasm.

“Hey, wait, what’s wrong with your shoulder?” Suddenly, Zion Ni saw there is a wound on Rouzhen Gu’s shoulder, a clear bit from someone, he begins to laugh loudly after seeing it closely.” Hahaha— who did you stay tender last night? Look how the wild cat has bitten you!”

Rouzhen Gu looks down to see the teeth imprint in his shoulder, turn the expression in his eyes, see, to be particularly tender.

“No? Is it a rage like a popular movie called Fifty Shades of Grey, these days? Do you have wax dripping, handcuffs, or nylon tie?” Zion Ni had a sudden interest in pissing him off.

“Your imagination is extraordinary rich!” Rouzhen Gu gave a sidelong glance and jumped into the swimming pool.

“Rou, it’s so mean, you’re not going to die if you reveal a little bit,” Zion Ni said to himself and followed to jump into the pool.

After the two of them swam one round, Rouzhen Gu leaned on the side of the pool to rest.

“Zion, you are responsible for the game development of that child. After the press conference, launched the project immediately.

Mentioning about the child, Zion Ni’s eyes almost jumped out. “Rou Rou, don’t you wonder that woman gave birth to such an intelligent child?”

Rouzhen Gu immediately thought of the small figure and smiled slightly. “Quite curious, after the game decided to launch it, let’s invite his parents, perhaps we can meet them!”

He wanted to see the child’s parents.

“He doesn’t seem to have a father!” said Zion Ni, shook his head.

“Why?” Rouzhen Gu raised his eyebrows.

Zion Ni disused a quote from Chao. “Not everyone had a daddy, just as not everyone has a mommy! It was the words from the child, I am just repeating!”

“Hmm!” Rouzhen Gu slightly ponders, actually feel surprised in his heart. “So, he has no daddy!”

“Yes! Just a mother! You’ll know when you see her Mom. What a heart-breaking mother and son!” Zion Ni secretly looked at the eyes of Rouzhen Gu, thinking that he must not know that the child belongs to Xiaoxi Chen, he suddenly has some anticipation, the scene when Rouzhen Gu saw Xiaoxi Chen led such an intelligent child.

“You have a change of taste, want to be with a woman that has a kid?” Rouzhen Gu turned his eyes to Zion Ni’s side, said words with a playful meaning.

“Well! Yes, the premise is that the woman is very beautiful, pretty and let me immediately love at first sight, you think, picked up a genius son for nothing, next time I don’t need to come out to make money!”

“You started planning already?”

“Well! Have this plan, however, the time when you saw that beauty, better don’t snatch with me. Hahahaha!” Zion Ni laughed as he talked.

“Lame!” Rouzhen Gu glanced at him. “You’re not attracted to someone, are you?”

“You don’t say, really have potential, it’s not without this possibility!”

“Really?” His eyes began to wonder.

Rouzhen Gu eyes were saggy, Zion Ni smile in guilty. “What’s true or false, just amuse you! But the boy is a real genius! He kinda reminds me of you at a young age!”

Rouzhen Gu couldn’t stand the way Zion Ni’s look, he turned around and disappear into the pool again. Zion Ni thinks that Rouzhen and Xiaoxi’s child has a huge similarity.

Kindergarten entrance.

Xiaoxi Chen came from work to pick up Chao up, two nights she did not let Chao come home. Xiaoxi Chen’s heart was very guilty.

All the other children went home. There were few children left in the classroom.

While Chao was sitting by himself on the swing, soon Xiaoxi Chen reached kindergarten, she saw her son from a distance with a lonely look. Her heart was sore, her heart was beating like a whip, she trembled, then the pain spread throughout the body.

She had left Chao in the kindergarten for two days when she found him she had sworn to take him with her, such a cute and lovely child, but she left her for two days!

She turned away and wipe the tears in the canthus, Xiaoxi Chen shouted. “Chao!”

“Mommy! Chao was playing alone and in a boring moo, suddenly when he heard Xiaoxi Chen’s voice he looked up immediately, happily rush to the arms of Xiaoxi Chen.

“Mommy, you are back!”

Seeing her son’s excitement, Xiaoxi Chen’s heart was even sorer.

“Son, mommy is back!”

Xaioxi Chen hugged her little son’s body and Chao kissed Xiaoxi Chen on the cheek. “Mommy, have you just come back from a business trip, Chao can stay in the kindergarten even a bit longer!”

Xiaoxi Chen hugged her son tightly, and her guilt kept coming out. “Son, I’m sorry, mommy shouldn’t have left you so long! Mommy is not going on business trips anymore, we will tell your teacher that I will be picking you up. We will go home now!”

“Really can go home already?” Little kid seems could believe what he heard.

Xiaoxi Chen nod. “Yes son, we will go home together!”

With her word, make him smile that appeared lovely on his cute face. “Oh! It’s time to go home! I can go home already!”

She looked at the child’s innocent smile, but the tears flow from the eyes, drop-down quietly, dropped on the ground, could shade the land.

“Mommy, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?” The little one turns around to see Xiaoxi’s appearance, immediately help her to wipe her tears with the little hand, the child is so sweet, make Xiaoxi Chen feel clenching in her heart, even have difficulties in breathing, she squats down her body, embrace him, face buried in her son’s thin shoulder, seem to seek this leaning. “No one bullied mommy, mommy just feel happy to see Chao that’s why I cried.”

Friday.

The fashion show that Xiaoxi Chen is in charge of, with AVL Collaboration will start in the evening. The venue has been cordoned off, only waiting for the evening opening.

In the afternoon, Xiaoxi Chen and Jenny Smith prepared the final work in the changing room of the venue, hoping the formal performance would not go wrong.

“Xiaoxi, why are you getting skinny? Haven’t seen you for a few days, you seem to be very haggard! ” Jenny Smith asked worriedly.

Xiaoxi Chen touched her face and pulled at her lips. “Sister Smith, I am all right, probably too busy recently!”

“Take it easy, the body is our only capital to sustain a good life, don’t be too harsh on yourself!” Jenny Smith patted her on the shoulder. “You go to sleep on the couch and I’ll do the rest.”

“No need!” Xiaoxi Chen shook her head gratefully. “I am fine!”

“Go!” Jenny Smith persuades very sincerely: “See you so haggard and I know how Rouzhen Gu abuses his subordinate, really hateful, hand over so much work to you as a young girl!”

“Uhm, actually the CEO is quite good to me!” Xiaoxi Chen thinks, he is willing to pass such an important job to her to do, other than exercised her ability, he also took a risk, if she causes a loss, Rouzhen Gu’s risk will be greater.

“That is you, so kind, and kind woman will be bullied to death!” Jenny Smith smiled. “Alright, go to sleep, there is nothing more, wait for the CEO for both sides arrive and I will call you!”

“Alright!” Couldn’t beat Jenny Smith, Xiaoxi Chen went to take a nap.

She didn’t go to the villa these past two days, and the man didn’t ask anyone to call her, only the driver came to pick her up after work every evening, but Xiaoxi Chen never sits that car.

Evening at six o’clock.

The lights, the stage, the staff were all arrived, but the model team was short of one because of something happen, the model got sprained her foot and can’t come.

Jenny Smith looks at the person in charge of the model company coolly. “Mr. Shawn, did you know this would affect our launch? Won’t you get me a backup model? Is that all the models in your company?”

Perhaps her voice was too high and woke Xiaoxi Chen up, she suddenly stood up and saw Jenny Smith was talking to the person in charge of the model.

“Miss Smith, this time winter fashion show is in progress, the city also has two shows, our company’s models were all used up!”

“I don’t care, delay our launching and caused the loss, you’ll compensate it!”

“Miss Smith, this is an accident! We don’t want it too, it doesn’t matter to lessen one model, right?”

“Sir, less one person, it will influence my whole layout, dress rehearsal formation was all spread, how do you want me to let them onstage?”

“Sister Smith, what’s the matter?” Xiaoxi Chen heard it in general and felt the severity of the problem. “Is it serious?”

“Tina sprained her foot, and they didn’t have a substitute. All were sent out, and less one more person!” Jenny Smith requires everything to be perfect as her reputation might get compromised if one fashion show got ruined.

Xiaoxi Chen heard about this and feel a little worried too. “I’ll call another company and see if I can get one over!”

Miss Chen, you don’t need to call, don’t have at all, the model of the entire Shanghai was recruited to other fashion shows, our company is the biggest model agency and the people is not enough to cater the demands, mainly being because your schedule rush together with the other fashion shows we are lack of models and a sudden accident occurred to our one model.
