Chapter 44: You’re Very Bold

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since Jian Dan became Chu Liyuan’s secretary, Wang Yan became rather perverse. Every day, she would think of ways to find trouble with Jian Dan, but Jian Dan always managed to find a way out. This made Wang Yan even more maniacal. Before she got off work today, she even locked Jian Dan in the washroom.

“Is anyone there?” Jian Dan knocked on the door of the washroom and shouted, but there was no sound outside. It was already the end of the business day; most of the staff had already left.

“Somebody! Help!” Jian Dan kept knocking on the door of the washroom and shouting.

But no matter how loudly Jian Dan shouted, no one came to save her.

In the end, Jian Dan sat on the floor helplessly. Tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Jian Dan had already forgotten how long it had been since she cried, because she knew that her parents in Heaven did not want to see her cry.

However, it was also because of her childhood experience that Jian Dan did not like to stay alone in a confined space. It terrified Jian Dan.

Right now, Jian Dan was locked in the washroom alone. Fear arose in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

The skin on her palms were broken from knocking too hard… Tears dripped onto her palms. It hurt…

However, Jian Dan was no longer in the mood to care about the pain in her palms. Fear enveloped her.

The sense of powerlessness that she had felt in the past traumatized her again.

After an unknown period of time, Jian Dan sat on the floor with her back against the wall. Her eyes had already become empty, and her hands were drooping on the floor, like a lifeless puppet…

“Jian Jian!” The door of the washroom was finally opened, and that man—who seemed to be glowing—appeared before Jian Dan.

“Uncle!” Jian Dan’s originally empty eyes finally regained some luster, and tears burst out again.

Chu Liyuan’s heart ached terribly when he saw Jian Dan’s appearance. He carried Jian Dan by the waist and sped home to Li Garden…

He placed Jian Dan on the bed and retrieved the first aid kit to apply medicine to Jian Dan’s palms. Even though Chu Liyuan was already very gentle, Jian Dan was still in pain and winced due to the complicated network of nerves and blood vessels on the human hand. Jian Dan bit her lips hard and did not make a sound.

“Does it hurt?” Chu Liyuan held back his own heartache and asked.

Jian Dan smiled and shook her head. “No!”

Jian Dan was clearly in pain, but she still put on a brave front. Jian Dan was so afraid, but she did not say a word because she was afraid that he would worry. His heart felt like it was bleeding. He hated himself for not protecting Jian Dan well.

“Uncle.” Jian Dan hugged Chu Liyuan’s neck and rested her chin on his shoulder.

“Uncle, I’m really fine. Don’t be sad.” Jian Dan comforted him.

When Chu Liyuan heard Jian Jian’s words, his heart ached even more. The arm on Jian Dan’s back slowly tightened.

He only doted on his lass, but someone actually dared to bully her and make her suffer? Chu Liyuan’s eyes brimmed with coldness.

After coaxing Jian Dan to sleep, Chu Liyuan called Li Jing and told him to check all the surveillance footage immediately. He wanted to see who was the one who had the guts to bully his woman.

Realizing the gravity of the matter, Li Jing checked all of today’s surveillance footage as quickly as possible and finally found Wang Yan.

When Chu Liyuan heard Li Jing’s report over the phone, his face increasingly darkened and the coldness in his eyes intensified..
