Trial Of Love - Chapter 220

Meanwhile, in YS Tech Co. dark clouds surrounded the place as if a living ghost was walking down their hallway. The place was dreary and eerie like a graveyard… Everyone felt like winter has come early than expected when they saw a man dragging himself to his office. He looked like the walking dead lifeless and pale.

Xiao Chen noticed Yun Shen dragging himself to his office and wonder what happened. Being a busybuddy he also loves gossip and immediately informed everyone.

It was not long when Feng Xiaotong arrived all covered in sweat from running all the way to the top floor.

“Chen, where’s Shen?”

The four of them walked together to the man’s office. When they step inside, they saw the man for once lying on the sofa staring blankly at the ceiling. It made them curious as to what happened to him that he was completely in a daze and not even notice them.

“Shen, are you alright?” Feng Xiaotong approached the man but did not react at all.

“Boss, did something happened?” Xiao Chen added.

Li Yefeng observes the man laying on the sofa. He could only think of one person who could make their boss act in such a manner. “Did something happened between you and Li Zi?”

“Boss, did you have a fight with Li Zi?” Xiao Chen went closer to him and kneed on the ground.

“Shen, what did you do to Li Zi? I swear if you made her cry, I’ll kill you.” Feng Xiaotong grew in rage thinking Shen might have done something to the girl. He gave way to him yet he dares hurt her.

Yun Shen’s mind was still muddled from what happened last night. He continued to picture out the girl’s face and the cold words she expressed that night. Eventually, he opened his mouth which silences everyone in the room.

“She rejected me.”

Everyone turned mute as they looked at each other all dumbfound to what the man just said. When he meant rejected in what way?

“Shen, what do you mean she rejected you?” Feng Xiaotong’s low voice asked as he tries to approach the man.

“Boss?”

Yun Shen got up and seated on the sofa, he saw how concern his friends was for him. How was he supposed to explain to his friends he got rejected by the girl he loved? How was he supposed to explained he asked her to marry him but was rejected? In the end, he needed help… Unlike his friends who’ve been in relationsh.i.p.s before, he who made the wrong move on the first woman he loves now ended up like this. He can’t believe someone like him actually failed to win a woman’s heart. What a laughing joke…

“I asked her to marry me.”

Everyone’s face was dead shock… How were they supposed to react to their friend broken proposal? Not only was he their friend but also their boss. It was so complicated but then they realize something was not right. From what they know, the girl has feeling for him as well. Even Jackie has confirmed it accidentally a few times. So why did Shen get rejected?

“Shen, if I may ask what happened? How did you propose to her?” Feng Xiaotong got the courage and asked.

“I told her ‘Marry me’.”

“Then how did she react?”

“She asked me was it all because of Little Yan?” Yun Shen answered to how the girl answered that night.

“Then?”

“I answered yes.”

The four of them felt like burying themselves alive. how low was their boss and friends EQ to not realize his mistake. How stupid was he for saying such words. Should you say because I love you. Isn’t that the main reason why people marry each other because they love each other. But the way Shen just answered was like throwing a marriage contract at the girl’s face.

“Shen, you do realize what you’ve done right?” Feng Xiaotong sigh feeling hopeless for his friend.

“I was telling her the truth. Doesn’t she love Little Yan?” Yun Shen was puzzled and asked.

“Shen, of course, she loves Little Yan. But shouldn’t you have asked her in a different way? I mean, why did you suddenly ask her to marry you anyway.”

“I don’t want her to fall for that guy.” Yun Shen’s expression turned dark and hostile as if he was about to slaughter someone.

“You mean Jayden Sanford? I saw the news about them…” Feng Xiaotong added.

“Boss, I think you need to take a step back.” Xiao Chen suggested.

“For once I agree with Fourth brother. Boss, you asked her in the most awkward and wrong way.” Li Yefeng added.

“Shen, I know you love her. But shouldn’t you’ve tried to ease her pain first? Let me guess, you thought if she marries you she’ll forget about her past?” Feng Xiaotong asked.

Even if Yun Shen did not answer, it was pretty obvious what his true intention was.

“Shen, if you really want her, think of how to ease her pain first. Marriage can wait.” Feng Xiaotong continued to explain everything in detail and what he did wrong.

Yun Shen realized what he has done and he left like pointing a gun on his head. How stupid was he to act in such way. What he did was almost like declaring he wishes to have her as a mistress and marry the Young Princess. He now realizes his mistake but how was he supposed to fix it. Surely, she won’t wish to see him again. But he let that happen at all, he must find a way to fix his stupidity.

“I need your help.”
