The Cage Of The Past

Everyone was astonished, don't know what Xiaoxi Chen will say. She looked at their faces and did not know how to open her mouth, she looked at Xui Huang's pale face. She did not open her mouth and did not want to do so in front of everyone. "Nothing!"

Rouzhen Gu eyes narrowed and he turned back to his office. Xui's facial expression is still the same, as pale as a white paper. Zion Ni went to Rouzhen's office. When the security in-charge arrived to deliver the tape Xiaoxi Chen immediately made two cups of coffee and sent it to the CEO office. The tape was on the table.

"Sir Rouzhen!" Xiaoxi Chen's sight falls on the tape. "Can you destroy this video recording?"

Sure enough, when the question was asked, Zion Ni and Rouzhen Gu's eyes are attracted by her.

"Secretary Chen, what do you mean?" Rouzhen raises his eyebrows. Xiaoxi came straight to the point. " I know that the CEO wants to know the truth, but it's not necessary. Sir, please let the company have a little less issue, isn't it better to be quiet sometimes?"

Rouzhen Gu and Zion Ni were surprised upon hearing her words.

"Xiaoxi, you don't make a noise when the CEO is punishing the awful employee!" Zion Ni couldn't understand Xiaoxi is too easy bullied or just a plain idiot. She was brutally abused by Xui Huang intentionally but she still wants to let it go easily.

"Manager Zion, I will not interfere with other's lives but I don't want to offend any colleague as well!" She was a single woman living with an adopted child and always live in timid and cautious, she never wanted to do things that offend people. She wants to be a good person and avoid any misunderstanding to have a peaceful life.

"Secretary Chen, how do you know that I want the recording because of you?" Rouzhen Gu raises his cold eyes and slowly asked her.

"Err!" Xiaoxi Chen astonished and blushed for a moment.

"Secretary Chen seems to have self-sentiment!" Rouzhen Gu smiled coldly.

"Well, it is not because of Xiaoxi?" Zion Ni asked additionally.

Xiaoxi Chen couldn't react at the moment, surely it doesn't mean so? She was wrong? God! Her face blushed. "Sorry I thought…."

"Get out!" he threw the two words coldly and Rouzhen sight did not leave Xiaoxi Chen that turned into an embarrassing face because of awkwardness.

Staring at him, she realized that she might really be thinking too much. How could the CEO treat his lover badly for the sake of his old fashion secretary? Looking at him, she could not catch the emotion in his eyes. The man was too dangerous. His eyes were so deep that people could get intimidated and fall into it without knowing it.

But, but why does she think there is something wrong? Slowly she turned her body, Xiaoxi Chen goes out and looked thoughtful. "Rou! Really didn't expect this!" Zion Ni smiled like a cunning fox. " You even fight for a little secretary, huh? She looked so helpless and innocent all the time and your pathetic so-called lover aiming to destroy her. Guess what, in a few days I think there's the best drama that will be going to happen in this company".

"You are lame! Are you tired of your life or maybe get bored in your office, just tell me so I can decide something good for you!" There was a warning tone, a hint of impatience and a perceived embarrassment.

"Rou! I am just kidding here! It's not like what you think! You are being so sėnsɨtɨvė. I think I need to go now!" he left with an evil smile on his face.

Rouzhen called Xui Huang at his office. "Rouzhen! What did you say? I am fired?" Xui Huang shouted in afraid, her face has the shocked of unbelievable, she did not expect Rouzhen really can fire her because of Xiaoxi Chen, can't even continue to be his lover.

Looking at the twisted face of Xui and withdraw his hand again. Rouzhen Gu burned a cigarette, said in a heavy sound: "It ends here! And you know the reason why! I hate a woman who does little nasty things behind my back! You're making someone suffered because of jealousy? Did I not clear you from the beginning that the kind of relationship we have has no label. Did I not warn you? Tell me, did I not warned you before to act properly?" his eyes almost blew fire when saying it. He was so angry when he saw the video recording of what had happened inside the restaurant in his company. He saw she intentionally dropped the hot soup at Xiaoxi.

"Rou----Rhouzhen! I was wrong! I won't do it again!" Xui Huang tears flowed and rush at Rouzhen, kneeling down and hugging his one leg. "Rou, Rou, please let me stay. I know I was wrong!"

"Know what to do, right? Leave this company and leave Shanghai, I don't care wherever you go, I don't want to see you in this city anymore, not even your shadow!" He immediately grabbed his cheque write down a huge amount of money, then throw it into her face. "You only deserve this money, you can live immediately today!"

"Rouzhen-------- please---- let me stay! I promised I will never get jealous to Xiaoxi anymore!" she is begging and crying out loud, trying to convince him.

"Get out! Now!" His tone is too cold to bear and harshly removed her hands in his leg. Xui Huang knew that there was no room for change anymore, tears in her eyes dried up, looking at Rouzhen Gu in cold and gloomy, trembling hands slowly harvested the fist, "because of Xiaoxi Chen?"

"I said get out!" yelled coldly.

Xui Huang finally packed her things. Xiaoxi Chen has been told by Rouzhen to go to the finance department to get the documents he needed, then when she came back, she learned Xui Huang get fired by Rouzhen.

"Xiaoxi, you know what Miss Huang been fired by our boss?" Mei was gossiping in a slow voice.

"Huh…." shocked. "What did you say? Miss Huang got fired by sir Rouzhen?"

"You don't know?" Our boss got mad at her, I think the reason is the incident happened to you."

Is it really because of her? She asked it silently into herself. Xiaoxi Chen quickly gets into Rouzhen Gu's office with the documents from the finance department. "Sir CEO, Secretary Huang…"

"Put down the documents here. How's your hand now?" Rouzhen Gu bypassed from behind the desk and took her hand, so natural, carefully checked, made sure she had applied the ointment before letting go.

Xiaoxi Chen startled by his gentle movements, she almost forgot what she was asking. " Sir why did you fire secretary Xui?"

"Because of you!" The answer was so unexpected and then to her surprise, he dropped his head and kissed her on the forehead, and she was in his arm while she was still in a daze.

"No!" She was frightened out of her voice, but more quickly plundered by kisses, overbearing and persistent, cold and pitiless and invading all her sweet softness!

This seems like a declaration. He seems like declaring to her that she belongs to him now. Xiaoxi Chen feels a tremor flickered across her back.

The image of kissing him in the men's room during the company celebration is also seared into her mind. She shivered and struggle but could not free herself of his pliers. She was so hurt by his kiss, so painful! Unbearable, she bites his mouth, she smells of blood in his mouth, he did not release her, but deepened this kiss...…

This sudden frivolity seemed to announce something.

"From today onwards, you are mine!" He finally let go of her, a domineering opening but the voice is very serious and firm.

"No!" she shakes her head and staring her eyes directly to him. This man is terrible.

"Snap", she raised her hand and hit him over, he did not avoid it and was slapped by her. She was stunned.

Cold hum, Rouzhen Gu's cold eyes lock on her shocked eyebrow, but just licked the blood on the lower corner of his mouth, hook up the lips, black eyes flash a ray of cruel light and then return into an indifference look.

"You are the first woman that dares to hit me, but I give you this honor! After all, you are mine either you like it or not! Instead of slap better give me a sweet kiss on my lips next time". His tone was so domineering and gentle.

She looked at him in a daze, and her heart began to beat violently. She was afraid of this man, for the waves he raised in her heart were so violent.

"Be good, don't provoke me starting today. We are lovers now! so we must treat each other gently, aren't we?" Her shocked eyes were dazzled by his imperious threat.

"You're crazy!" She was so surprised that she forgot the purpose of looking at him and she ran away quickly.

Rouzhen touched his lips. It was slightly swollen because Xiaoxi bites it hard. He can't forget her shocked reaction upon hearing his declaration, an evil smile drawn into his handsome face. "Wild kitten, she never changes after five years. Still the same innocent and vɨrġɨn woman I used to spend the night at my villa. You can't get away from me, now that I found you! Never again little wild cat! You gave me so many sleepless nights and a good remembrance. Our little boy is now waiting for you".

"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with your lips?" Mei saw her flustered run out of the CEO's office, eyes ambiguous stare at her, "Wow! Swollen! Can't be the CEO kissed you?"

"Nonsense!" Xiaoxi Chen immediately stiffened her back.

Tried to pull smile as much as she can, only to find that her lips are stiff and curved. She ran quickly to the bathroom. Near the mirror, she shook her fingers and stroke the lip where she had been kissed, still hot.

What he actually means? What the hell was he going to do with his overbearing announcement? When she walked out of the bathroom again, she tried to make her face as calm as possible.

At the end of the day, Xiaoxi Chen received a call from Chaoxing Bai, she said her son will be going to arrive from Singapore. "Hi! Xiaoxi, let's go for a celebration in the evening, bring our kids and we go eat western foods, I'll treat you!"

"What a piece of good news!" Xiaoxi's lips are also hooked with a smile, for a while, she has forgotten Rouzhen Gu's crazy action. "You sound like really so happy!"

"Yes, talk about it later! Well, I will drive and pick up Chao first and go to your company to pick you, at six o'clock, don't forget about it!" Chaoxing enjoined.

"Alright! See you later!" Xiaoxi Chen hung up the phone.

"Xiaoxi is it your boyfriend?" Mei begins to gossip again.

"Well! "Xiaoxi Chen was about to deny it when she raised her head she saw Rouzhen Gu, her heart trembled an unconsciously nodded.

"Xiaoxi, you already had a boyfriend?" Mei shouted. Xiaoxi secretly glance at Rouzhen Gu, "yes! He will come to pick me up later after work!" she lied.

Rouzhen Gu eyes immediately turned fierce up, steps a big step toward Zion Ni's office. Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, it should be okay this time, the CEO will not be baffling anymore.

When she got off from work, Xiaoxi Chen took the elevator downstairs. Her colleague that we're talking and laughing immediately keep quiet when they saw her, then she walked out of the elevator. She had the feeling that there are various eyes sight sweeping at her back.

After coming out from the main hall, the CEO exclusive elevator opened too. Xiaoxi Chen quickly run to Chaoxing Bai car and she is driving an SUV today, the car is like a man's car. A little man got out of the car and ran quickly towards Xiaoxi Chen, "Mommy, I'm here to pick you up!"

"Slowly! " Xiaoxi Chen hugged her little boy. "Son, let's go quickly!"

Rouzhen Gu walked out of the building that time and turned around unintentionally, he saw someone carrying a child going to the car.

"Xiaoxi Chen!" Rouzhen Gu was stunned, whose child it is?

Xiaoxi Chen turned back and saw Rouzhen Gu standing at the main entrance of the building, suddenly, she was very anxious and saw him walking towards her direction.

She walked faster carrying her son, "Chaoxing, start your car faster!" Xiaoxi Chen quickly stuffed her son and she sits into the car.

"What's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost?" Chaoxing Bai heard she urge and quickly start the car.

"Mommy, is there a big wolf?" Chao looked behind the car with doubt but the car has turned to another road.

"Nowadays there are a lot of crazy people!" Xiaoxi Chen explained and said: " but don't worry, where are we going?"

"We will go to my brother's place. Today is the opening of his western restaurant, free invitation, we must go to earn a meal. My son also had waited for us there, he arrived today from Singapore with his father." Chaoxing said.

"Why do I think that we are like asking for food!" Xiaoxi Chen hooks a smile and swept away the infringement she met today.

"Big brother my friend Xiaoxi Chen, and this is her son my godchild, we came here to support you!" Chaoxing said it when they get out of her car, she held Chao's hand. When she saw her child she happily hugged and kissed him, introduce the kids with each other then let them play.

While Xiaoxi Chen's handed to Wei Cheng a bouquet of flowers. "Brother Wei Cheng, congratulations on your grand opening today!"

It is not the first time Xiaoxi Chen meet Wei Cheng, but she noticed today he looks very smart in a suit.

"Xiaoxi, so many years we did not meet!" Wei Cheng was astonished and looked again at the kid playing around with Chaoxing's son. "Err! You son really resembles you a lot!"

"Brother! I am so hungry, serve the dish first! " Chaoxing tried to stop his brothers' words.

"From today onwards, you are my…." The announcement of Rouzhen Gu overbearing in her ears, Xiaoxi Chen's thoughts and feelings in an instant.

Xiaoxi Chen, why would your heartbeat loudly?
