Chapter 96 - Do You Trust Me?

Author's Note, Very Important:

PLEASE CLEAR YOUR CACHE!

There has been an issue in uploading chapters and I have adjusted everything for everyone's convenience. What happened is that what's supposedly chapter 96 became 76, so I have adjusted contents and have replaced this with recent chapter. 

Once you have cleared cache of this app, do re-read chapter 95-96 (this chapter). 

Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience. Don't worry, you don't need to read chapters 76-94 again, just chapter 95 and 96. ^^

Wang Lei asked Yu Yan to come with him. With them already telling their employees on what to do while they were away, they then left the company and was greeted by Mr. Ying who is now waiting for them by the car.

"Mr. Wang Lei, Miss Yu Yan," Mr. Ying greeted them with his eyes wide. With both of them nodding to acknowledge his presence, Mr. Ying looked at his boss, scratching the back of his head.

"A-are you sure that we need to bring along Miss Yu Yan?" He asked, Wang Lei, nodding to answer his question as he opened the door instead for his secretary, Yu Yan, blinking her eyes in wonder as she reluctantly entered the car.

With their boss sighing as he turned to look at Mr. Ying, he spoke to him, further surprising him with what he said.

"Yes, it's better for her to witness this. Have you also did what I have done?" 

With his boss saying this and with Yu Yan inside the car, Mr. Ying nodded and gave his boss the answer that he needed in a whisper.

"Yes. I have already escorted Miss Yu Yan's mother and son outside and had given them the opportunity to eat and hang out in the mall with your helper."

"Good."

Wang Lei has specifically ordered his secretary that in order to protect Yu Yan's family for the meantime from Qing Yuan's plans, he will tell them to act that her family has won a raffle and that they are given a chance to hang out in his restaurant and mall as a prize. 

For it not to be suspicious, Mr. Ying has said that since Yu Yan is an employee of her boss' company, she is entitled to have the prize and has asked for her family to enjoy it instead.

Of course, Yu Yan didn't know this as Wang Lei didn't want to worry her. Also, for her mother and son not to get lost, Mr. Ying has asked Wang Lei's helper to accompany them and act as a guide.

With that, Wang Lei already entered the car. With him closing the door as he buckled himself in his seatbelt, Mr. Ying then entered the driver seat and then proceeded to go to the location where he scheduled a meeting with Mr. Qing Yuan.

As the car moved, Yu Yan turned her head to look at her boss. With her eyebrows slightly furrowed together, she couldn't help but sigh, asking Wang Lei a question.

"Mr. Wang Lei, where are we going?" She asked, Wang Lei, sighing as he just gave his secretary a small smile, not wanting to make her worry.

"You will know later. Whatever happens, know that I'm here."

Yu Yan blinked her eyes a few times, not knowing what to say as she did not expect what her boss had said. With only giving him a nod, the drive to the location went silent. 

Yu Yan didn't know why... but she started feeling nervous that her heart started to beat erratically in her chest.

Something from within her is telling her that today is something that is going to shock her--something that would make her feel uneasy if she knew what this is about. 

Wang Lei watched Yu Yan from the corner of his eye. When he noticed that her hand was trembling on her lap, he didn't know why, but he reached out to her hand, surprising her with how his skin brushed against hers.

"Y-yes?" Yu Yan stammered, however, Wang Lei didn't say a thing.

With his hand giving Yan Mei's hand a soft squeeze, her boss then smiled at her, making her heart race in her chest. 

"Whatever happens that you're going to see later, do know that everything's going to be okay. Alright?"

With Wang Lei's continuous reassurance, Yu Yan's lips turned into a tight line. She then couldn't help but ask him a question, wanting to know what is it that is going to happen that made her boss act this way.

"Mr. Wang Lei, can you please tell me what is it that is going to happen later? I can't help but feel uneasy... I--"

"Yu Yan, do you trust me?"

"What?"

With Wang Lei suddenly interrupting and asking her that question, Yu Yan didn't know why, but she immediately nodded at him--thinking that her answer was not done out of whim as well. 

"Y-yes..."

"Then that's all you need to know."

Wang Lei then pulled his hand away from her when at the same time, Mr. Ying's phone that was connected to the car rang, making him immediately answer the call.

"Mr. Ying, I am already here at the reserved room. Are you coming with Mr. Wang Lei? Is there anything you want me to advance order?"

When Yu Yan suddenly heard this familiar, chilly voice, her whole body stiffened. Her hands on her lap turned into tight fists, her lips trembling as her eyes widened in terror--knowing fully well who the hell that person on the phone talking is.

"I-it's h-him..."

Her lips trembled as she stammered, tears already escaping her eyes even though she is trying her best to keep them at bay.

"You're not going to prepare anything, Mr. Qing Yuan," Mr. Ying said, "Just wait there and we will be right over."

With that, the call ended. Then moment it finished, Yu Yan's body snapped at Wang Lei, tears uncontrollably escaping her eyes.

"P-please... don't make me see him. I-I... he wants me dead. My son and I... we--"

Before Yu Yan even noticed it, she already ended up in Wang Lei's arms.

With Mr. Ying surprised as he also noticed how smooth and quick his boss unbuckled Yu Yan from her seatbelt and pulled her in his arms, he refocused his attention on the road before him, clearing his throat as he didn't expect Wang Lei to do such action towards his company's secretary. 

"You don't have to worry about yourself and Lie Jie," Wang Lei started, already patting Yu Yan's head as he comforted her. "That man will have to die if he ever lays a finger on you or your family."
