After drawing a conclusion for herself, her eyes didn't wander further. That's enough of drama for today. She stay quiet along the way up until her destination is almost reached as she become a bit restless. The people in front is like two strong fort, unmoving and they doesn't seems to be bothered with her presence either.
Ba Qing pretend to cough but still no response. This two people, really..!! She almost lose her temper.
"Excuse me" With a gritted teeth, she smiled. This is her last remaining patience ah, she also need to exit the elevator soon.
The beautiful jiejie turn to look at her, with a slight frown.
What are you frowning for?! Did I owe you money?
"I need to go out" Ba Qing said.
The woman unwillingly moved to the left but the man is unmovable, still busily staring at the documents.
Ba Qing don't have a choice but to move carefully to pass through. When she walk past the two people, she released a breath of relief. Finally, her source of stress is gone.
Unfortunately, some people are just bound to have meet each other. Call it romantic or weird, she just want to live peacefully ah. Even if she never want to entangled herself to this people, her dress doesn't know that ah.
The happy Ba Qing stopped when her sleeve is pulled by something, then she turns and saw that the lace of her sleeve is hooked onto the cold man cufflink.
Great, at this timing. Ba Qing smile awkwardly .
"Mister, this.." Ba Qing tap on the back of his hand using her finger then when she get his attention he point at the entanglement.
The man emits a dark aura, the surrounding temperature quickly turns a few degree colder, literally.
Both Ba Qing and the female assistant cannot help but become a bit scared. What is his deal really?
He gave the document to his assistant then used his right hand to grab Ba Qing sleeve, wanting to pulled it away.
How can Ba Qing let it be.
"Hey, wait, wait. If you pulled it just like that,my dress will be ruined"
The man stop and look at Ba Qing still in frown, then glare at his assistant.
"Miss, how about this, we will pay the price of the dress ten times. My boss don't have time for this" The woman interrupted.
"Cannot ah. I need to attend an event, how can I go with torn clothes. Just give me a minute, i will entangled it"
Ba Qing didn't waste time then focus on unhooking the lace from the cuff, she is really careful, one because she don't want her dress to be ruined but most importantly is because the cuff look so expensive. She can sense the man cold eyes looking at her like a hungry predator.
Ba Qing indeed tried her best but a few strand of thread is still entangled with the cuff, the last resort is to cut the thread.
"Do you have a scissor or anything similar?"
"Miss, we really don't have time" The assistant become more restless because of her boss deathly glare. With every passing seconds, the boss expression become more murderous.
"Fine, fine." Then she bowed down a bit, grabbed the man large hand and used her teeth to cut the thread.
She then check her sleeve and the peacefully still cufflink before smiling brightly.
"Done."
Then walk out of the elevator without turning back. Not saying thanks, not saying sorry. Take itas repayment bah. She hum a happy song as she look for the event hall.
…..
In one of the suite room of the Empire hotel, the door to the bathroom closed with a bang!
Qin Ru Hua silently walk outside to the verandah to make a call. She never see her boss got that angry before. And in situation like this, she can only contact Bai Ruan.
Thinking about it, this is all the woman in the elevator fault.
"Bai Ruan" Her face relaxed a bit when the call got connected.
"Miss Qin, what is the matter?" The voice at the end sounds friendly and nice.
"Just now, something happened while we are in the elevator at Empire Hotel, a girl touched the boss hand. The boss doesn't look.."Qin Ru Hua wants to explain everything but before she finished talking, the phone got disconnected.
She tried calling again but the call is not connected while the boss is still inside the bathroom.
Not long after that, the suite room door ring.
Qin Ru Hua went and opened the door as she saw Bai Ruan standing in front of the door.
She didn't even have the time to ask how can he arrive that fast when Bai Ruan beat her to it.
"Where is the boss?"
Qin Ru Hua point at the closed bathroom door.
"He directly went inside, until now haven't come out."
"I know. You can wait at the lounge. This matter, you know the consequences if other people heard of it" Bai Ruan gave a smile but it doesn't reach his eyes.
"I..I.." Qin Ru Hua become a bit speechless.
"Go." Bai Ruan gave a reassuring smile "
Qin Ru Hua, seems to have recovered from her shock nod and left the suite room.
Bai Ruan sigh then walk towards the bathroom door and knock lightly.
"Lord Xi, its Bai Ruan"-
The sound of flowing water stopped and the bathroom door opens.
Wang Xi An walk out of the bathroom with only his light grey shirt and his sleeve is rolled up to the elbow, looking fine and seems to be in a state of confusion.
Bai Ruan check at every inch of his exposed skin especially his hand but he found nothing.
"Lord Xi, did the human girl really touched you?"
Wang Xi An walk out as he reached for a dry towel to dry his damp hand.
"Yes, I felt her temperature"
This answer also make Bai Ruan become more confused.
"Then?" Bai Ruan look at his boss.
"I don't know either. She is definitely human. If she was a demon, she wouldn't be alive by the moment she touched me. Even if she is not a demon, then there is no way I wouldn't found out." Wang Xi An answer as he sat on the long sofa.
Bai Ruan thn sat next to his lord and observe his hands once again.
"This is great, maybe the curse is lifted" Bai Ruan clapped his hand.
"No, not long ago, a child touched me and my hand burns like before"
"Then should I investigate? If she really touched you and you are alright, then this is a rare things. Lord Xi, you may not care but I am very curious. I've become so bored with the same routine everyday" Bai Ruan is half begging.
"No need. I don't have any plan to have any contact with human either" wang Xi An coldly reject the suggestion. So what if he doesn't get burn, will that shorten his trial? Useless.
"Alright" Bai Ruan become a bit disappointed. It has been so long that he didn't have this strong curiosity.
Wang Xi An open the button one by one and changed his clothes to a new one. Even if he said he didn't care, he can't help but be reminded of that girl. She is so unruly even while she is at the parking, even if the car is tinted, he can see everything what the girl have been doing inside the car as she throw her things randomly at the car seats, parking her car as she like, then even dare to laughed at him when he avoided Qin Ru Hua at the parking. Not enough with that she even size him up in the elevator? Worse of all, she casually cut the thread with her teeth and touch a stranger. She must have a problem in the head to be acting like that.
"Ah Ruan, burn the clothes inside the bathroom for me" He was referring to the clothes he used just now.
Bai Ruan nod but instead of burning it, later Bai Ruan stored the clothes inside the pile of his lord used clothes. How can he let an opportunity like this pass, his lord have been avoiding human like plague with his hundreds of years stay in this world. This is the first time they encounter this kind of thing ah.
When his lord come to this world, he was cursed that when a human touched him, his skin will burn, this is something more like a trial for him. Making him unable to feel warm human touch. Forcing him to suffer loneliness. This is the true trial. He cannot enjoy the life on the human world. Indeed it is cruel. Even if his lord is the cruelest in the God and Goddess land, here and there is different ah.
In the land of God and Goddess, 1 day is equal to 1 year in this human world. His lord need to spend 999 years in this human world to pass his trial to become a High God. His lord have always been famous with being cruel and merciless as he is the God of War and he often symbolise as death. If he passed this test, he will become one of the High God, with the two old hag that gave Wang Xi An this trial. Bai Ruan is his disciple but after coming to the human world and spending years together, they become like friends, and business partner.
WITC is something that they build together, of course it is all because of Wang Xi An intelligence and Bai Ruan sacrificing his wild night life. The company have run generation by generation in the public eye, but the one behind has always been Wang Xi An.
