City F, Long Ying and Yu Yan's Mansion
Yu Yan was already in a bad mood after she returned back home. The reason was none other than Long Ying having an emergency call.
They returned in the evening, nearly the time for dinner. A young man who looked very similar to An Lin rushed out. He was also dressed in casual clothes like Lan Huo but at least, it was neater.
"Boss, there's a call from the branch. The other gangs are making trouble," the young man reported.
Long Ying furrowed his brows. "Anyone close?"
"None. Most are not available because of the sudden dispatch to handle him." The young man looked at Yu Yan and nodded respectfully. "Sister in law, we need to trouble you for a bit."
"If you're busy, you should go." Yu Yan nudged Long Ying.
"An Luo, you stay here and guard her. Lan Huo, come with me."
"Yes, Boss!"
After saying that, Long Ying tugged Yu Yan to his embrace and whispered lightly in her ear. "I'll be back soon."
"En."
Yu Yan could feel her face heat up even after Long Ying released her. She stood in her place, watching him entered the car and disappeared into the distance. From the bottom of her heart, she hoped nothing bad would happen to him.
"Madam," An Luo called out. "The night is cold, please come inside."
"Alright."
Looking back once more, Yu Yan sighed and walked inside with An Luo. She glanced in his direction for a moment before asking, "Mr. An Luo?"
"Please call me comfortably, Madam. There's no need to be overly polite." An Luo smiled. He definitely couldn't let her call him with Mr. or a certain Boss would not let him off the hook like his younger brother.
Yu Yan blinked then nodded. "Alright. An Luo, are you related to An Lin?"
"An Lin is my younger brother," An Luo didn't hide this fact.
"You two look alike." Yu Yan smiled. She entered the mansion and saw Auntie Yun was waiting for her. The moment she came in, Auntie Yun stepped forward.
"Madam, the food has been prepared. Would you like to eat first?"
"I'll wash up first. I'll eat afterwards." Yu Yan looked at An Luo. "There's no need to follow me around everywhere."
"Yes, Madam."
Without An Luo following her, Yu Yan returned back to her room. She washed up quickly and then changed her clothes to a more comfortable wear. Afterwards, she picked up her phone and it rang, signaling her mother calling her.
Her eyes turned cold.
She picked it up and her mother's high pitched voice entered her ear. "You unfilial daughter, come back home this instant! Divorce your husband right away! WHO gives you the right to get married huh? Do you think that your parents are dead?"
Divorce?
Yu Yan would never divorce her husband when he cared for her so much. Her cold traveled to the phone. "You only remember you have another daughter at times like this?"
"You! You! Divorce him and get the share back! It should be Kang Family and not…."
"You call only for this?"
"You b*tch! What are you….."
Yu Yan didn't seem to care that she was cutting off other people's speech as she continued, "You have never cared for me in the past, so what makes you think that you can start dictating my life like that? Stop asking me for divorce as I'll never divorce him."
With that, she cut off the call and put the number into blacklist. She had enough of dealing with her mother like this. Her mood turned sourer after the call but she didn't want to mistreat herself. Forcing herself to come down, Yu Yan ate the dinner Auntie Yun had prepared.
The dishes were excellent but she could barely taste anything.
"Madam, Master might return back late, he left a message saying that you might sleep first if you're tired," Auntie Yun informed.
"I understand. Thank you, Auntie Yun."
Yu Yan pulled her body back to her room and then opened her laptop. She didn't know when but Long Ying had asked his men to pick some of Yu Yan's items from her apartment. It was good that she didn't have to head there by herself because she would surely be reminded of that annoying night should she head there.
The clothes were left behind and only the documents along with her laptop were brought here. There was nothing much that was important anyway, so Yu Yan didn't care that much.
Yu Yan checked her email when she recalled something and send an email directed to her best friend. She left a message there.
'Should something happens to me, help me leak this out.'
After it was done, Yu Yan was silent for a moment. She didn't know what else she should do, so she browsed the documents her superior sent to her. It seemed that the progress of the work while she was away… was really fast.
Yu Yan tilted her head in wonder. Were there any other events related to sweet nearing? Zhang Corporation worked in several field but their strongest main selling point was sweet as it had completely monopolized the industry in this country. There were only several other companies who managed to tail them but their specialization was usually anything other than chocolate.
She shrugged and chose to just wait until the time she headed back to work before asking anything else.
Putting her laptop away, Yu Yan washed up and lied on the bed. It was already nearly midnight but Long Ying hadn't returned yet. She looked at the spacious bed beside her and furrowed her brows.
'Nothing happens to him, right?'
She was worried and felt uneasy. The empty bed was also making her uncomfortable. It was only a few days but she already felt that sleeping without having Long Ying around was harder. She wanted him to be here and accompanied her while being safe and sound.
