And when he got out of the car, he opened my door and forced me out. He tightly held my hand in his and began walking away.“Xin, what are you doing?“ I asked in confusion. What had gotten over him? Did he want us to walk like that to the office?Xin only shrugged his shoulders. "I am going to the office with my wife. Is something wrong with that?“ He asked. His calmness shocked me more.“But everyone will look at us,” I tried to say to him. How would we explain things to everyone if they saw us like that?“I don't care what anyone says, darling. Let us go to work,” he said, pulling away.I could see the look of shock on some of the guards that were around. It felt so awkward. All I could do was look at the floor as he pulled me to his private lift.Since I wasn't looking at him, I ended up bumping into his chest. “Ouch!“ I winced in pain and rubbed my chest.Xin hurriedly looked at me. “Are you okay?“ He asked, and his hand went to my chest. I didn't know what he was just about to do
Little Lion swallowed hard. What the boy said would have been true if it had just been a few days ago. But at the moment, Xin was actually his dad.“President Xin of XY Limited is my daddy,” he said, his expression so cold. In his previous school, his classmates had made fun of him so many times because he did not have a father.Now that he had Xin, he wasn't going to let the same thing repeat. Xin was his father, right?The other students began chuckling. “Who do you think that man is? You should just be lucky to have met him,” one of them said.“My dad watches him every day. He says that he never goes close to any woman. He cannot be your father,” another one said.Boyo, the boy who had spoken first, laughed. “Little Lion, since you joined this school, you have been acting so mighty. Just tell everyone the truth. President Xin is not your father,” he said.He was always the most admired boy in their class before Little Lion came. Now, all the girls were trying to hook up with Little
I rushed after Xin. So many things were going through my head. That was the first time I had heard that something had happened to Little Lion while at school.“What happened to him?“ I asked worriedly as I took the passenger seat. I wanted to reach the school as fast as I could.Xin looked at me. "Relax. They didn't say he was in the hospital. He is still in school,” he said.I relaxed a little. If something serious had happened to him, he would have been admitted to the hospital. But a second later, I got more curious. “Did they tell you what happened?“ I asked.I still did not understand why Xin had been called instead of me. I was the parent who had raised him for all this time.“He got into a fight,” Xin said calmly.And my heart leapt. “A fight?“ I asked in shock. “Little Lion never picks up fights with anyone.“Did Little Lion really fight anyone? Wait! What if he was hurt? I didn't want anything to happen to my baby.“Relax, honey. Little Lion is fine. We will get the details w
Little Lion walked towards the girl and held her hand. I was once again taken aback. Little Lion had never been close to any girls before.“Mommy, Daddy, meet Kiki. She is my friend,” Little Lion said with a blush. And I could not help but chuckle. He looked cute.“Hello Kiki! I'm glad to meet you,” I said, bent down to look at the girl. She was beautiful, too. Little Lion really had good eyes.And also, Xin, whom I had never seen with other kids before, walked closer. “Kiki, it's nice to meet you,” he said.Kiki nodded with a blush. “You have a nice family,” she said, almost in a whisper. But we all heard him. I looked at Xin, and he seemed to have thought of something.“Um, let me guess. Did she try to defend you when they wanted to bully you?“ He asked, looking at Little Lion.And Little Lion blushed again. "Boys, should he be protecting girls, right? I will protect her from today,” he said. He wouldn't just accept that he was weak, and a girl stood up for him.We chuckled, but Xin
Warning: mature content is available in this chapter.Xin chuckled. “It sounds crazy, right?“ He asked, and he pursed his lips. “But it is true. I planned on marrying you all along.“I sighed and looked away from him. I didn't think there was anything I could say to him. He planned it, but only divorced me a year later after finding the chance.“There was this one time I decided to be open with dad. I told him that I wanted to marry you and spoil you forever. I was so crazy. Do you know what he told me?“ Xin asked calmly.And curiously, I looked back at him. “What did he tell you?“ I asked.“He threatened to throw me out of the house if I did anything to you. You know, you were young, and I was already thinking about marriage. He said that you were his little girl. He was not letting you go.“Tears welled in my eyes again. My dad loved me a lot. I even thought that he would be one of those men who would be very selective with their son-in-law.“I didn't expect that he would make a dea
I sat still and looked back at him, tears falling from my eyes. I felt bad that I couldn't just tell him off. What was wrong with me?“Listen to me, Bella. You are going to be my wife, I swear. You better accept reality now,” he said.I wanted to roll back to my seat, but I knew that it would only worsen things. So I remained silent and tried not to look into his eyes.He slowly raised his brows at me. “Why are you crying? You let me kiss you. Wasn't it normal for me to touch you?“ He asked.And I chose to ignore him. I tried to get off him again, but he held me in place. “Wait! You are not going anywhere until you tell me why you are crying."I cried more. Why was the man such a bully? He only cared about himself.But his expression changed once again. He cupped my face and slowly wiped away my tears. “Why are you crying?“ He asked slowly."You... you are a bully,” I said, shivering. I just felt that weak and stupid before him. When would I have the courage to stand before him and te
…“Isabel, to my office!“ I heard Xin's cold voice call out to me, and I was scared. I had just arrived at the company, and I didn't even have time to breathe.“Right now?“ I asked. What did he want so early in the morning? He couldn't be so hungry to ask for coffee the first thing when he arrived.“Yes! Right now!“ He said that and walked away. His footsteps were heavy, and I had a bad premonition about everything.I looked at Birdie, who was standing at the side. I wished that he could have an idea about what was going on.But he shrugged. “His mood has been so bad since yesterday. Just be careful,” he warned.I nodded in understanding. One thing I liked about Birdie was that he was always so considerate of me. I was glad that I wasn't on his bad side, like Skye.With a heavy sigh, I walked to Xin's office. The door wasn't closed. I knocked and walked in.“The door,” he said. He was sitting at the top of his desk, doing nothing in particular. It seemed like he was actually waiting f
“A child?“ I asked fearfully. How did he have the guts to talk about having a child at such a time? Was he nuts?The last time I was stupid, I let him have his way with me. He made me pregnant, then abandoned me like a homeless dog. I struggled on my own, trying to feed myself.And just when I was about to recover, he had the guts to talk about it? Did he think that I was a fool?Xin seemed shocked by my reaction. He looked into my eyes with a sigh. “Did I hurt you that bad?“ He asked. “Bella, I swear that I will never abandon you again.“I shook my head at him. “Just leave me alone. I want to leave my life in peace. And Little Lion is enough for me for now.“Xin pursed his lips as he looked at me. Then suddenly, he pulled me into a tight hug. He hugged me so tightly that I almost chocked.And just at the same time, there was a knock on the door. I quickly pushed him away and adjusted my clothes. I didn't think I would ever willingly go to the office again.Xin sighed in irritation. B
