The Cage Of The Past

When Chairman Lui Gu saw the woman around Rouzhen Gu, he immediately pulled his face down, apparently, he was very dissatisfied with her appearance. Zion Ni's sight sweep on the surrounding and frowned. The women every year is all the same, nothing special!. Suddenly, he saw a figure huddled in the corner, seems like it is Xiaoxi Chen.

Compared to a combination of handsome men and pretty women in front, she looks too normal, it's not about her appearance but her disposition doesn't suit here. Strode over there. "Hi! Xiaoxi dear, why are you here alone?

Xiaoxi Chen looked up and saw Zion Ni's smiling face, Manager Ni!" she said in a lower sound. He loves to make a joke and called anyone dear but seems like he doesn't have any bad intentions and she feels a little strange intimacy.

"Hi!" She said in a low voice, the head seems to hang lower. Xiaoxi Chen look at the tip of her shoes feebly, such banquet does not suit her, can she apply for leave and go?

"Why? Want to leave? Zion Ni knew she feels uncomfortable seeing him sitting in front of her. Looked up surprisingly. "How do you know?

"Xiaoxi, you are unique, other women would love to join the dinner but you wanted to go!" Zion Ni boldly speaks his observation towards her. He is being so opinionated, Xiaoxi tells it into her mind. Zion Ni look at the dress she's wearing, uhm, better than the set of clothes she wears at work but still looks old fashioned. "How about I invite you to go with me and then we leave here?" he said it, trying to convince her.

"Uhm!" Leave here? And where are we going?" Xiaoxi Chen's reaction.

"Ha! Oh, C'mon don't show me such kind of reaction. Are you scared of me?" Zion Ni laughed out. "Once I see you, I knew that you are still a little girl, so pure, it's all brother's fault to embarrass a young woman like you."

What? Xiaoxi Chen was speechless, was she acquainted with manager Ni to the point of making such a silly joke? Xiaoxi Chen heads up and looked seriously into Zion Ni, there was no obscenity in his eyes, but it was just as clear brotherly concern. Xiaoxi Chen confirmed with what she was thinking and said gently: "Manager Ni, sometimes pretending to be a playful person is tiring, why don't you be yourself, don't you feel tired doing such kind of game?

Not ȯbsċėnė but act like you are "Well! Stupefied, Zion Ni laughed "Xiaoxi, you make your brother surprised! You look like you understand me well!"

Zion Ni stands up and sits beside Xiaoxi Chen, the position is very near…..

Xiaoxi Chen moves behind and pulls away from the distance, then he moves nearer and again she moves further until Xiaoxi couldn't find any space, ended at the closed end of the sofa.

"Xiaoxi, do you think I am handsome?" Zion Ni looked at her and ask.

"Handsome!" She answered. "But can you sit over there?" and stop playing this kind of trick. It wasn't funny at all. People who will see us might think we are chasing each other. She was embarrassed to be so close to a man for the first time in a public place.

At that moment a pair of sharp eyes looking at them, Zion Ni hook a high inscrutable smile, while sitting down near Xiaoxi. That person felt so jealous is Rouzhen Gu and he wanted to pull her away from him. "Xiaoxi, since you think that I am handsome, why don't you like to be my girlfriend!" Manager Ni tries to test her emotion.

"Huh!" Xiaoxi Chen stupefied. "Manager Ni, your joke level has become the best in the world!"

"You already have a boyfriend?" Zion Ni frowned.

"No, manager Ni please don't joke with me like that!" Xiaoxi stands up immediately, she doesn't want to talk gibberish and sit near to this abnormal man, all women's eyes in the dinner party starting to stare at her.

The moment she stands up, she feels the sight from everywhere with doubt, Xiaoxi Chen was nervous and nearly tripped.

"Be careful" Zion Ni hug her to support her body, Xiaoxi please be careful, brother has not eaten you up but you are scared.

Xiaoxi Chen frowned and ashamed. " Sorry!" She wanted to pull back but he hooks her waist, she couldn't support and fell into his arm. "Haha, I like you to take the initiative!"

Zion Ni did not forget to glance at Rouzhen Gu that has been drinking at another side of the banquet hall. Smile weirdly and hug Xiaoxi Chen tighter, he intentionally placed his chin to Xiaoxi Chen's shoulder, her long hair covered his lips, but from the other side looked like they are kissing intimately.

Zion Ni hit by a cold shiver from Rouzhen Gu's cold sight, suddenly feel like a return to the previous time, err, since when Rouzhen treats Xiaoxi Chen as an important woman in his life for him to react like a jealous man.

"Let go of me, Manager Ni! Xiaoxi Chen voice faded away, and she was embarrassed to death.

"Alright! I also think the way of chatting like this is boring!" Zion Ni changed the evilness and slowly let go, he looks at Xiaoxi Chen in pure and guilty eyes. He only wanted to see Rouzhen reaction when he witnessed how close he can chat with her.

All eyes that shot from the hall, like poisoned arrows, were eager to shoot Xiaoxi Chen to death, those looked are from Zion Ni's admirer. She knows they are thinking she seduced this man. A handsome man with a heroic posture walking towards her while the eyes of people around in the dinner party followed his pace too. The moment he walked like a king towards her direction, Xiaoxi felt panicked and stand immediately. "Sir Rouzhen!"

"Hi, Rou, dear why only come now?" Zion Ni thought that the moment he hugs Xiaoxi Chen, he wanted to come over.

Rouzhen Gu sights across Xiaoxi Chen's red face, and his brow wrinkles up. He stares coldly at Zion Ni and sits beside him. "You are lame!" Playing such a game of public display of affection, huh. Are you tired of living?"

"What's the matter dude, I am innocent here. I am only chatting with Xiaoxi." Zion Ni shrugs his shoulders. "Right, Xiaoxi?"

"Hmm" Xiaoxi Chen doesn't know what to say, she remains silent. She carefully glances at Rouzhen Gu, the light illuminates in his face, that shows his natural cold and stern face. He had a beautiful white face like Zion Ni, but his face like frost cold and sharp with chiseled features, thick brows, deep eyes, and sip lips because of years indifference. His lips slightly pendulous that give a manly aura. She recognized that Rouzhen didn't hide his coldness in front of his best friend and the tension between the three of them made her feel uncomfortable.

Everyone looked over in their direction, Rouzhen Gu and Zion Ni are sitting with a girl like her who do not know how to dress up well, and women's expressions show curiosity about her.

"Sir Rouzhen, Manager Ni, I will leave both of you so you can talk" Xiaoxi Chen realize that she needs to stay away, people sight from the surrounding are even making her ashamed, anxiously she stands up then leave. She doesn't want to be with them and she escaped from the center of the balcony, hiding away from all scary sight.

Rouzhen Gu looks across a trace of a cold quickly, a moment later everything had turned to normal, he looked at Zion Ni and said: "do not provoke her and stop your game, she's my secretary spare her from your foolishness, okay? If you can't obey my order I might afraid I will send you far away to make you reflect your wrongdoings?"

"Why?" Zion Ni raised his eyebrows. "Pure girl like Xiaoxi is getting lesser!" I loved to see her reactions every time I teased her. "Are you affected or should I say felt jealous? Hahaha...brother be careful with hiding your feelings, it might hurt you" he is provoking him.

"If you want to play, go find another person!" Rouzhen Gu warned. "But not her!"

"Rouzhen Gu, you're the man...hahaha!" Zion Ni said it with a clear voice and smile on his face, but Rouzhen only replied coldly with: "remember my words!"

"Rou, are you angry?. Perceptively aware of his tone alienation, Zino Ni recalled his cold eyes when he saw him hugged Xiaoxi, he faces down and smiles solemnly, he said: "good! Since she is your woman, I will not lay hands on her. The pity of my budding love, but Rou, is Xiaoxi Chen your woman already?"

"Your love and affection for her are too much. Save it for, not her!" Rouzhen eyes grew cold and sweep over the balcony direction where Xiaoxi went.

At this time, the center crowd started to make noise, everyone looking at the pretty woman walking from the doorway. The black slim dress with black high heels, the most attractive part is the fair and flawless skin, her face doesn't have any expression and walk over.

"Zion, she is here!" Rouzhen Gu said in lazy. "Who?" Zion Ni looked towards the direction of the woman who just came. Suddenly swallowed all his saliva. "Rouzhen, I need to take a leave and go"

Zion Ni bend down and jump over Rouzhen and run towards the balcony to avoid that woman.

Xiaoxi Chen was surprised, Manager Ni?!"

"Shh! Xiaoxi, excuse me!" Zion Ni opened up the windows of the balcony and jump down.

"Ah…" Xiaoxi Chen shouted upon seeing Zion who jumped down from the balcony. "What's wrong with him?"
