The Cage Of The Past

Xiaoxi Chen backed away in terror, his eyes are glaring at her and the dark pupil was full of anger staring at her.

"Get off!"

"CEO Gu, Xiaoxi is my guest!" Jenny Smith spoke at this moment. " It's just a lighter, why would you reacted to much?"

"You get off to!" Rouzhen Gu shouted.

"Rouzhen! You're getting too far. Stop it! Zion Ni shouted too.

"All of you get off!" Rouzhen Gu sat down with dejected.

"I'm sorry !" Xiaoxi Chen thought that the lighter must be very important to him. He didn't care about his hand condition in order to save the lighter. She was really damn!

Zion Ni was upset and quickly said: "demeanor, demeanor, Rouzhen where is your demeanor?"

Rouzhen Gu stopped talking, but his face was so dark that everyone would not dare to say a single word. The incident of lighter during the meal left everyone with no appetite. Xiaoxi picked up her belongings and bowed deeply to Rouzhen Gu. "Sir CEO, sorry, I will compensate you for a lighter!"

After that, Xiaoxi Chen ran out quickly and her pale look made people feel bad.

"Xiaoxi!" Jenny Smith stared at Rouzhen and chase her.

"Rou, your reaction is overbearing just only because of your lighter." Zion Ni sighed. "If the old doesn't go, the new will not come! It is time to forget!"

"Xiaoxi! Wait! Jenny Smith caught her up and asked, " Are you alright?"

Xiaoxi Chen eyes are red. "I accidentally ruined the CEO's lighter. I think that the lighter must be precious to him. I can understand!" This moment, Xiaoxi Chen does not angry but she feels guilty.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry!" Jenny Smith patted her shoulder.

"Sister Smith, thank you, help me inform my boss, I really didn't mean it!" Xiaoxi Chen bit her lip and smiled bitterly. "I understand the feeling of losing precious things!"

She went home immediately and talk to her best friend. She told the whole story about the incident that happened at the restaurant. " Chaoxing, sorry!" I accidentally ruined the dress I borrowed last time but I still asked you to lend me money this time.

"Don't mention it! We are best friends, right? Chaoxing said. "Are you sure you really want to compensate your boss for that expensive lighter?"

"No choice, I accidentally broke his lighter!" Xiaoxi sighed.

"Oh! Alright! Let's find and buy a lighter like that." Chaoxing only thought that the thing was too expensive. "Take ten thousand to buy the same lighter, for what?"

"No matter how expensive it is, it also can't compare to the precious things at other people's heart!" Xiaoxi Chen feels so sad. "I am afraid that I will not be able to return the money to you in a few months!"

"Don't mention the money to me! Tacky! Xiaoxi Chen finally bought an S.T Dupont lighter, which is also silver. She knows the market price is 50,000. Chaoxing found an acquaintance that gives her a discount so they got it for only 30,000.

Xiaoxi came to Rouzhen's office with a beautifully wrapped box and get in after she heard his approval. Xiaoxi Chen put the box on the table and whisper with uneasy. "Sir this is what I compensate for you! Yesterday was my fault for being so careless!"

Rouzhen Gu slit his eyes and looked at her, but did not say a word. Xiaoxi Chen bit her lip and saw he was so silent. Then she said again, "I know your most important things been destroyed and I am very sad on it and I also know this lighter is not the original you have but I sincerely asked an apology to you. I am really sorry!" she said it emotionally while her head bowed down.

He still silent, so she feels a little scared and danger of his deterrent effect. Xiaoxi Chen carefully lifted her eyes and tried to look at him and dropped her gaze as he touched it. Rouzhen Gu remains silent and stared at her for a long time. His eagle-eyed gaze that makes her melt in front of him. She thought if she buys a new lighter for him all the things can easily write off.

Seeing him in silence, Xiaoxi lost her calmness. "CEO, I am wrong. I am really sorry, please forgive me? Her voice is trembling and she's begging him.

"Get out!" He suddenly spoke.

"Uh!" She suddenly raised up her head, looking at him, her sight meets on the pair of cold eyes but with some unusual emotions she can't detect, he instantly froze his expression.

"Leave this box here and you get out. Understand?"

"Uh!" As long as Xiaoxi Chen heard his acceptance her heart immediately feels better and quickly nodded her head. "Thank you, Sir! I will go now and continue my work right away!"

Rouzhen Gu looked at the box on the table, he slit his deep eyes, raised his hand. Then he threw the box into the drawer and began to review the documents he has been checking before Xiaoxi came. He can't forget this naive woman, flashes of old memories that night, come in his mind. She was nineteen years old at that time and he took her innocence that gives him a little young boy. Rouzhen can't help himself not to forgive her because somehow he knows he is too cruel to her. He took their child without her knowledge five years ago. She doesn't know the man behind the fox mask that night was him.

After dinner, Xiaoxi Chen was cleaning up the dishes. "Chao, would you like to go to bed early by yourself?" she's asking her little boy.

"Mommy, please don't go to work anymore. Chao can raise mommy!" Her little boy face looks worried because she comes home late. " You leave work late at night and you come here looks so very tired. What if you encounter a pervert?"

"Silly son, how can mommy pay back the money to Auntie Chaoxing without a work.

"But…" I am worried about Mommy!

Xiaoxi Chen took another job at night to earn more.

Be good at home! Go to sleep after done watching the cartoon, mommy will come back soon!" Xiaoxi Chen kisses on her son's face and went to the bedroom to change into a light outfit, jeans, a t-shirt and a black cap that could hide her face. Then she went out with a box.

Sleepless City. On a busy street corner, under the streetlights, a slim girl with a ponytail and black cap is selling something most men passionate to buy.

"Hi, Sex toy, anything that you need". Some passerby looking at her. She's not only alone selling those kinds of stuff but few other vendors also offering the same products. There is also a cardboard sign on the box, which written: Naughty and fashionable ċȯndȯm.

The girl who sells those stuff is Xiaoxi. She is shouting generously: "Sex toys, stylish ċȯndȯms for your safety and health, please take a look!" Gradually, there are more people coming in, most of whom are men and student-like couples, seeing the stuff in the girls' cardboard boxes showed curious looked.

They can't believe that someone like her would sell those kinds of stuff. Her innocent look and beautiful face doesn't match with that kind of extra job she's been doing. But she has no other way to get an extra income immediately, she needs to pay Chaoxing as much a possible. She knows that her best friend is also supporting her family who lived in the province. Chaoxing has been helping her a long time ago and recently she messed up again because she destroyed Rouzhen expensive lighter. She had borrowed money from Chaoxing to buy a new one. She needs to find an immediate way to save a lot of money. She's browsing online for some possible stuff that is sellable during the night, there she bumped into a website offering that kind of extra income.

"Come and have a look! There are a lot of choices here"! Xiaoxi Chen explained.

"Boss we want this!" Give me a pack of that ċȯndȯm, does this one is safe? Someone asked. Xiaoxi Chen face turned red, she lowered her head and hide her face with her cap. "It won't break easily and safe to use, take a look, it has the anti-false sign, and the authentic manufacturer guarantees the quality!" she said it with disgusting voice.

"Have you tried using your own product? Another boy asked.

Xiaoxi Chen's eyes glow like a sly fox. "Hey guys, I considered myself as an old woman, how can I never used it before. Don't worry, it is very safe and nice to use" she put so much effort convincing them even she felt bad. She needs to be open-minded. She is thinking about the commission she gets after selling it all.

"How can I sell this stuff if I haven't tried it, right? If you guys won't buy please leave now, I don't want destruction," she said.

"Hahaha we are just kidding here, of course, we will buy we just test your ability."

Xiaoxi Chen was busy collecting payment and giving a change to the customers. After a while, more than half of the things in the box was sold out. Suddenly oppressive feeling came, and the people around her turned their heads in an instant, looking toward the direction behind them.

Some girls showed excitement on their faces. "Wow! Handsome guy! So handsome!"

Xiaoxi Chen was somewhat felt inexplicably and suddenly felt a strong sense in front. She looked up at the slender figure, she was stunned when the moment she saw the person who came. The air was solidified, and the noisy crowd becomes quiet and no one spoke. It is indeed an awkward situation. Despite she hid her face using a black cap she can't stop feeling disgusted.
