Chapter 444: Never Be a Mistress
Chapter 444: Never Be a Mistress
As the drawer was opened little by little, there was indeed a photo.
The photo shows a woman with a neat high ponytail and heroic eyebrows.
Before Shen Lan could see clearly, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
"What are you doing!"
Shen Lan was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. His hands trembled and before he could react, his body was pulled away.
I don’t know if it was because my body was weak after the shock, or because Xiao Yun’s grip was too strong.
After being pulled away, Shen Lan suddenly hit the wall. She gasped in pain and her face turned pale.
Xiao Yun hurriedly closed the drawer, and when he turned around and saw her covering her arm with a painful expression, he became even more panicked.
"Are you okay..." He said as he was about to reach out to support Shen Lan, and at the same time took out his cell phone to notify Liu Lin, preparing to send Shen Lan to the hospital.
Xiao Yun was annoyed and heartbroken, hating himself for using so much force and why he scared her!
It's just a photo, just look at it, how can you hurt Shen Lan because of it.
"Don't touch me!" Shen Lan shook off his hand with a disgusted tone, and at the same time, she crossed her arms and backed away, as if staying away from the virus.
Xiao Yun was stunned.
Shen Lan retreated to a safe distance and realized that his behavior was too extreme.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I opened your drawer without permission."
Xiao Yun hadn't recovered from her disgusted tone yet, and was distracted when he heard her indifferent apology.
He slowly retracted his hand that was stretched out in the air, his eyes returning to a cold expression: "Don't touch my things from now on."
He gradually took back all the privileges he had previously granted her.
Shen Lan still had no objection as he had several times before. He lowered his eyes and nodded, saying, "Okay."
After hearing this, Xiao Yun's face turned even uglier and his head started to hurt again. The pain made his body tense and his head buzzing.
But Shen Lan's slightly hoarse voice still reached his ears clearly.
"Mr. Xiao, excuse me, is the girl in the photo the one you like?"
Xiao Yun pressed his temple, his tone becoming more anxious: "Why are you asking this? Is this what you should be asking?"
"Of course I have to ask!" Shen Lan said in a firm tone, looking at him with clear eyes and a bit of stubbornness.
"When I signed the agreement, I made it clear, and it's written in the agreement. If you get engaged, married, or fall in love with someone, terminate the contract immediately."
She spoke each word clearly and with a firm attitude: "I, Shen Lan, can be unnamed and can hide from the public, but I cannot be a third party."
Seeing Xiao Yun staring at her, there seemed to be flames surging in her phoenix eyes.
Shen Lan twitched the corners of his lips and smiled sarcastically, "Since last night, Mr. Xiao's attitude towards me has changed drastically. I'm stupid and can't figure out what Mr. Xiao is thinking. So, I'd like to ask, is Mr. Xiao tired of me?"
Her face was as pretty as a little rose, and her smile was charming and dazzling, but Xiao Yun found it extremely glaring.
"What do you want to hear my answer?"
It took him a long while to utter these words, his voice was hoarse, as if it was forced out of his throat.
Shen Lan frowned: "Just say what you think, why are you asking me? But it doesn't matter what you think now, you just need to answer me, do you like the girl in the photo?"
She stared at him closely, as if as long as Xiao Yun nodded, she would pack up and leave immediately.
Xiao Yun was in a very bad mood at the moment. He pursed his lips and said, "Just ordinary friends."
Shen Lan was stunned, her brows furrowed.
She doesn't believe it.
If you are just ordinary friends, would you bring someone's photo to the office and put it in a drawer next to you?
Manager Wang also said that the photo was just on Xiao Yun’s desk. What does this mean?
This means Xiao Yun took out the photo and looked at it!
If they were just ordinary friends, why was he so nervous just now and pushed her away, not hesitating to hurt her?
The pain in Shen Lan's shoulder had not subsided yet, and his heart felt blocked, so blocked that his nose felt a little sour.
Suppressing this emotion, she looked up at Xiao Yun and said, "You're lying."
Xiao Yun looked at her eyes which were gradually turning red, and at this moment he really wanted to hold her in his arms, but he couldn't.
Glancing at the door, Xiao Yun's expression was indifferent: "Are you annoying? I already said we're just ordinary friends."
His tone suddenly became heavier, Shen Lan shrank back, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist.
Shen Lan realized that her tears were flowing out, and she lowered her head quickly. Her voice was a little nasal: "There is a medicine box in the lounge. I'll go take care of the injury on my shoulder."
She said and ran quickly towards the lounge.
Xiao Yun watched something glittering and translucent slide down her cheek, unconsciously moving forward. He took a step and then stopped abruptly. Trying to suppress the urge to follow, he nearly crushed his palms.
The lounge was closed. Hearing the sound of the lock being locked, Xiao Yun frowned and walked quietly towards the office door.
Walking to the door, he pulled it open suddenly, and a man holding documents was caught red-handed, his face pale and his eyes panicked.
"Xiao, Mr. Xiao, I'm here to deliver the documents."
The person at the door is from the secretary's office, his name is Xu Jun.
He is a student sponsored by the Xiao family. After graduation, he has been working in the Xiao family. He has excellent abilities, works seriously and has an introverted personality.
Xiao Yun glanced at the document in his hand with an expressionless face.
Xu Jun was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead and he didn't dare to look up at him.
"Did you hear anything just now?"
"No, no, Mr. Xiao, I didn't hear anything." Xu Jun waved his hands quickly.
Xiao Yun glanced at him indifferently: "You're lying."
Xu Jun's expression froze. "Xiao, Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I came to deliver some documents, and the door was open. I didn't expect you and Assistant Shen to argue. I didn't dare leave for fear of footsteps, so I thought I'd wait until you and Assistant Shen were done arguing before going in."
"I swear, I will keep today's events to myself and won't reveal a single word to anyone..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yun suddenly interrupted him with a deep look in his eyes: "No, you have to reveal it to others."
