Xia Yao's POV

The next few weeks went by pretty calmly. At first I thought Yuan Zong was planning something to tease me even more, but he actually left me alone most of the time, only talking to me when it was about work- business. What pissed me off the most though, was, that he kept taking Peng Ze with him to meetings, when it was my job. I was supposed to attend meetings with Yuan Zong and not Peng Ze. I shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it, but it just pissed me off so much. Like, I barely had anything to do at work at all!

Right now, my life was a mess. Just yesterday my mum tried to hook me up with a girl she met at the supermarket. Turned out she was a real psycho, wanting to be with me 24/7. She was truly creepy and not even my type. That's what confused me the most. Why was it so hard for me to fall in love? I had never been in love before and I really wanted to know how it felt like. People always made such a big deal out of love and here I was, age 25 and never even had a crush on anyone.

But I had to admit, I was scared of love. I had never been with anyone in my life, so what was it going to be like if I ever fell in love with a girl? I had no idea how all this dating- thing worked.

Right now I had to send out files for different companies, which we were going to work with soon. But the thing was. Peng Ze was supposed to do all of that, but since our lovely lovely Peng Ze was with our lovely lovely boss Yuan Zong, I was stuck with all the work. Bastard!

I was very moody today and I didn't even have a reason to be. That's what I did not understand. I had been very moody lately, for no reason. I didn't know if it was about work, my mother, Peng Ze and Huan Lige or Yuan Zong. I also could not forget about Yuan Zongs story. What a rough childhood him and Yuan Ru had. Having to deal with their dad, who didn't even care about them and their sick mother. The only thing they had right now was each other and that was truly heartbreaking to me.

I really wanted to hate Yuan Zong, but I just couldn't. His story was so touching and inspirational that I basically had no reason to hate him. But of course, I would never ever tell him that. Over my dead body!

I really wanted to confront him, as to why he had been ignoring me lately and that maybe we could stay friends, but I just knew he wouldn't have that. He was too stubborn to agree. Screw Peng Ze and him!

"Hey, Yuan Ru. Do you know when Yuan Zong will be finished with the meeting?" I asked her, feeling impatient.

"Uh, no, sorry. Why? You've been asking me that a lot recently, you know." Really? I had never noticed that. I sighed. I really had to stop all of this. If he ignored me, I should have ignored him back! But there was a problem. He was my boss, meaning, I had to listen to him and do as I was told. Damn it!

"Uhm, it's nothing. Bye!" Now I felt embarrassed.

Several hours passed and Yuan Zong an Peng Ze still weren't back. What took them so long? There was no way that meeting lasted over 3 hours, that was just impossible! I looked at my watch. Great, only 2 hours to go, until I was allowed to go home and there were still no signs of those two. Why did that piss me off so much? I had no reason to be mad, Yuan Zong was the boss and he was allowed to choose who he wanted to take with him to meetings. But since he loved me, he should have taken me, right? Ugh, all of this was so confusing to me!

Time flew by fast and now I found myself packing my things away, ready to go home and take a long ass bath.

Hearing the door of Yuan Zongs office close, I immediately ran into there.

"Where were you?" I asked, feeling my cheeks heat up right after. Damn it, he must have thought I was an idiot!

"Mind your own business, Xia Yao."

"Why are you ignoring me, sir?"

"I am talking to you, aren't I?" What a bastard!

"You took Peng Ze with you..." I mumbled, sitting down on the chair in front of him.

"And?"

"I was supposed to go."

"Clearly not." I was about to explode. Seriously, who did he think he was?

"First you confess your feelings to me-" He cut me off.

"Oh, did I?"

"Basically, yes!"

"Whatever."

"And now you are avoiding me!"

"And what's your problem?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I don't have a problem!"

"Either you do have a problem with it or just anger issues."

"I don't have a problem with it, nor do I have anger issues!"

"Clearly, you do." How could he stay so calm? I was about to explode out of anger!

"Go home, Xia Yao."

"Not until you tell me what I have done to piss you off." I crossed my arms over my chest, feeling offended. I hated that man with a passion! (A/N: no, you didn't... 😏😂)

"Nothing."

"You know what, I give up. And I don't believe that you love me. It's all an illusion."

"So you must feel pretty happy then." He smirked. I hesitated.

"I do feel happy. You are right." He looked me up and down, while smirking. What the hell?

"Go home and rest, Xia Yao." I just nodded, feeling defeated. He seriously got away with it.

"Oh and Xia Yao?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"Liar!"

...........

I feel so sorry for Yuan Zong and Xia Yao seriously needs to get his life together! He is falling for him without even noticing it! 😂

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
