The Cage Of The Past

"Well!" Seriously nodded. Han's face was filled with a happy smile and he could see the aunt in the future. He felt grateful.

Xiaoxi thought to educate her boss once he arrives but she hesitates to do it as he might threaten the child and might scare his young heart. The cute appearance of Han makes her feel happy too and his too shy to speak. She thinks that Rouzhen strange temper may influence the child's growth.

When they arrived at the alley of the street she mentioned to him, Xiaoxi Chen saw his Royal Bugatti being parked and he is leaning at the driver's seat. He is actually smoking when she saw him. As they come closer she smells a strong smoke from his cigarette. His supreme appearance could intimidate someone.

When Han saw his Dad he immediately released Xiaoxi's hand and ran towards him. "Daddy!"

Rouzhen Gu squatted down and pick up his young boy. His voice was gentle. "Why do you leave home? What if you encounter a bad person on the street?"

"S---- Sorry daddy I am wrong! Said Han in guilt. He just wanted to come out and distract his father's attention. He was looking for his Mommy because his father was too busy, he didn't have time. He couldn't wait.

"Why did you tell other people that I beat you?" Rouzhen's voice has even become more gentle.

"I am wrong!" Han continued to apologize while his head buried in Rouzhen's shoulder.

"As long as nothing happens, it's okay but never do it again!" Rouzhen patted his back and prevented himself to blame his son.

Xiaoxi was shocked by the scene, isn't it the father and son seem to get along with each other very well, how does Han say that Rouzhen hit him?

Rouzhen looked back at Xiaoxi, his eyes were complicated and embarrassing. He looked at her deeply and put his son down. "Come son tell auntie you have never beaten by me."

"Auntie, dad never beat me. I'm sorry I lied!" Han immediately walked in front of her, lowered his head and whispered: "I am sorry, I am wrong! Han lied to you and never spoken the truth, I leave home because dad was so busy only grandpa left for me."

"Ah, really? It's okay, I understand, but next time does not do it again." Xiaoxi squatted down and patted Han's head.

"Han seriously nodded and suddenly hugged her. "It's me who lie not dad!"

Rouzhen comes over and his tall figure stood in front of Xiaoxi. His face was in complicated look. "I have never beaten him, never! I can't do it to my son."

He said it as if explaining something to her but Xiaoxi felt bungee and did not expect that he was misunderstood.

"Sir, I'm sorry! I don't know, I thought …." Xiaoxi had felt embarrassed as she tried to speak. It's an awkward situation they both have because she had questioned his credibility over the phone without hearing his explanation. Those long conversations were nonsense and Rouzhen let her burst out and it turns out she's like an insane woman educating him how to be a parent. He didn't bother to explain himself and the child wasn't beaten at all. She even didn't realize how this clean looking child is being beaten?

"Han, go to the car and wait for me, dad needs to speak to Auntie!" Rouzhen said

"Okay, dad!" Reluctantly looked at Xiaoxi and he entered the car.

Xiaoxi was very embarrassed. She felt that she was too arrogant. She didn't ask clearly and it was the irritating way she teaches him over the phone.

"CEO!" Xiaoxi Chen looked up and wanted to explain again. She saw Rouzhen bright black eyes watching her and she began to breathe nervously.

"Sir, I'll go back home now! Please take care of Han in the future, he is so fragile!" At first glance, the atmosphere was a bit dull, and Xiaoxi wanted to run away immediately.

"Wait!" Rouzhen's low male voice lazily calling her.

Xiaoxi Chen turns around and she saw him smoking again. The white smoke covers his entire face after he blew it out. It filled the dark lights and she could not see his expression yet at that moment Rouzhen wanted to hug her and bring her back into his home. His narrow eagled eyes were hidden by thick smoke despite the sharp light from the street.

"What is it this time sir?" Xiaoxi Chen held his breath as she asks him.

"Does your shoulder is okay now?" His eyes fell on her injured shoulder.

"It's still hurt! But much better than yesterday, thank you for your concern!" Xiaoxi smiled.

"You don't have to go to work tomorrow!" Rouzhen said quietly.

"Good!" she nodded, suddenly think of something and say: "Will you deduct my salary?"

Rouzhen was shocked, "Are you short of money?"

"Didn't I told you about it?" She said immediately cause she's lack of money but this man still managed to ask her. "Sir CEO, I'm asking you, would you deduct my salary?"

"I will pick you up tomorrow at noon!" Rouzhen suddenly changes the topic and walk towards her. He picked up her chin and give a smock kiss on her slightly opened mouth to cut her words. "Did you hear what I said? I will pick you up tomorrow let's have dinner together." His deep breath and dull voice make her feel weak.

Xiaoxi suddenly stunned because she felt shy as the little boy was looking at them. She doesn't know what he meant and why all of a sudden he invited her for dinner.

She couldn't find the right words to say and didn't answer him. She still looking at him and his eyes were slightly gloom. His face flushed a trace of doubt: "What's wrong? You will refuse me?"

She was so nervous and asking herself if she heard it right.

Seeing her not responding, he raised his eyebrows. "Don't you want to be with me tomorrow?"

"Ah?----" Xiaoxi couldn't think of what he was going to do if she refuses. "I don't want to go out?" She said it quickly yet she's afraid of his reaction. Why Rouzhen got an interest to her?

He seems to have a sudden changed after he knew Han was with her. He became so cheerful and his body leaned over her, his face slightly smiled: "Thank you for taking care of our son and giving me a bit of proper advice on how to take care of him,"

"Our son?" She asked him immediately when hearing his words. Did she mishear it?

Rouzhen only smiled and seems to be grandiose. She can't refuse him without giving a valid reason but she doesn't want to have a deeper relationship with him. "Sir CEO, I …"

"That's it no more arguments and bad opinion, okay? Rouzhen took another cigarette from his pocket then started to smoke again.

"I don't want to be with you!" Xiaoxi said it again in determination. She refused him twice and hoping he will not force her because it would be better for them not to come close to each other.

"Why?" Rouzhen looked at her directly. "Don't want to have dinner with me?"

"Yes!" Xiaoxi squeezed out her word.

"What are you afraid of?" Rouzhen reveals an invisible urgency and he felt bad because this damn woman refused him.

"I am not afraid of anything!" Xiaoxi Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed and some were at lose.

"Tomorrow at 11' o'clock in the morning, see you here again!" He did not let her go, still firm and his fierce look able to force her to accept his invitation.

Xiaoxi made him stare uncomfortably but he quickly asks her back: "Okay?"

The answer was very reluctant but she nodded which made Rouzhen's feel better.

"Good girl! Now go back home!" he smiled

"CEO, goodbye!" Xiaoxi waited for him to talk again but he just nods. She then quickly left.

Rouzhen secretly followed her, looked at the place where she lived. It was an old-fashioned residential area. It seems to be some years built. How did she live this past few years? Where did the money go? He remembers it was a huge amount for her to live a decent life.

In front of the glass window of his car, Han looked at the back of Xiaoxi Chen who's entering inside the house. The child begins to feel empty. When Rouzhen looks at his son a reluctance sight from his little boy shown. His son gazes on Xiaoxi but he could not openly tell his son that she was his Mom and couldn't even blame him for leaving his house. Luckily Xiaoxi saw him in the bus station and brought him back home.

"Hey, Autie is so beautiful!" Han murmured. "If Mommy is as beautiful and gentle like her it would be good!"

"Yeah!" Rouzhen suddenly got a little annoyed and helped his son fasten his seat belt. "Sit properly, let's go home!"

"Grandpa will be angry?" Han asked quietly.

"Yes!" Rouzhen said

"Is he mad at me?"

"No! He is too worried!"

"I am sorry, dad!"

"Not allowed next time!" Rouzhen drove the car and touched the small head of Han. "Han, you like that Auntie?"

"Yes, I like her. She said I can come back to her home if you called her. Would you allow me?" Han asked again

"Of course I will but need to plan it properly!"

"Hey dad, is Mommy also beautiful like auntie?" Han asked again

"Almost!" why you asked so many questions?" Rouzhen heart feel so nervous when answering his son

"Dad, why Mommy doesn't come to our home? Is it because of me? He doesn't like to be with me?" Han's eyes became dimmed when asking him. Rouzhen suddenly couldn't find words to say and remain silent.

Han looked so sėnsɨtɨvė but immediately realized that his Dad had a big problem and was a bit too much to force him to discuss a topic about his Mom. "Sorry, sorry dad! I will not ask again!"

Rouzhen felt sour in his heart and shook his head. "Han wants a Mommy?"

"Yeah!" He nodded very seriously. Han said it quietly: "But will you be angry? If you are sad, then we will not talk about it. Auntie promise me to let me stay at her home, she said I can play with her as long as you allow me. She's so sweet and kind, no Mommy can do it for me…."

"Does auntie cooked food for you?" Rouzhen raised his eyebrows while asking it

"Well, the dishes cooked by Auntie are not the same as ours. It tastes good and has a taste of home!" Han said lowly: "It's better than Grandpa's chef who cooks our delicious food!"

"Is it?" Rouzhen suddenly envied his son and said: "In this case, you can go back to auntie's house to eat with her!"

"Really? You will allow me?"

"Yeah!" Rouzhen mind suddenly emerged an imagination of a family of three sitting around the table and happily eating.

"Is it delicious like your Nanny's cooked food?" Rouzhen asked again

Han thought about it and shook his head. "No, because nanny's cooked food doesn't have the taste of Mommy but that auntie has a taste of mother care!"

Han couldn't explain it thoroughly to his father and he just disregards it because the auntie he met today was really kind and good.

Rouzhen was caught in the shock because of his son's words, his tiny voice keeps telling a taste of Mommy. He needed to settle this issue as soon as possible.

Eleven o'clock in the morning the following day.

Earlier today she sent her son to kindergarten and she came back home. She was so anxious to go out with Rouzhen. Thinking of his overbearing kisses several times, there is no reason he just suddenly kissed her. She wants to question him why he does it several times and what are their relationships?

Yes, she wanted to know the status of their relationship.

Thinking of his kiss, Xiaoxi only felt that her face blushed and she suddenly have a fever.

Her phone suddenly rang.

Xiaoxi was shocked and his heart beat faster than normal.

After their conversation yesterday night she saved Rouzhen's number and it was he who keeps calling her phone right now.

"Hey!" She took the call and held her breath.

"After ten minutes I will arrive!" His low voice came and hit her heart

"Isn't eleven o'clock yet!" She whispered, how come he will arrive early?

"Let's drop to the hospital first! Wait for me!" He hangs up the phone call.

Xiaoxi Chen looked at her closet trying to choose which one is suitable for her to wear because it is the first time they will go out together. Suddenly she felt confused and can't decide which dress she should wear. Her face blushed as she thinks about Rouzhen and a burning sensation tickled in her mind.

In a hurry, she grabbed a simple casual dress that she thinks would fit since she can't wear a sėxy dress as she got an injury in her shoulder.

When Xiaoxi came out in the alley, she saw Rouzhen wearing a white shirt and black trousers wrapped around his slender legs. He leaned freely on his Bugatti and was in a carefree position.

The black hair was thick enough to cover the pair of eagle eyes, but still, there was a glimmer of light shining through it. He was silent and looking at her seriously. He was also smoking at that time and thick smoke covers his surroundings.

He doesn't like to wait for a woman. He has always been special to other women and most of them patiently wait for his arrival. But this time is far different, it was he who waited for her to come.
