Revenge Sevenfold

Hui Yin turned around.

Lu Shen had grabbed the icepack from Yan's hand, and was walking towards her.

Hui Yin felt irritated. All she wanted to do was to leave, and this man wasn't even letting her do that.

"It's okay," she said flippantly. "I'll just put some ice on it when I get home."

He ignored her, and took her arm. He wrapped the icepack in the towel, and lightly pressed it on the bruise.

"Does it hurt?"

"What kind of question is that?" Contrary from her sweet attitude earlier, the tone she used now had some traces of her annoyance.

"Of course it hurts!"

They were outside the office now, and all the employees nearly puked blood as they saw this scene. That woman from earlier...she was not Assistant Yan's acquaintance but their boss'?!

Furthermore, the boss was tenderly applying icepack on her wrist!

He was taking care of her personally!

Their cold boss, whose chilly expression could instantly solve global warming, was being so gentle to a woman!

What had they just seen?

What had just happened?

All the female employees were nearly choking on vinegar, enviously eyeing the girl. They were jealous of Nian Zhen too, but all of them knew how powerful her background was. How could they even dare to think of competing with her for the boss' affection? It was simply a lost cause.

But this unknown woman, on the other hand...

"Quick, slap me! I think I'm dreaming."

"Who is she? Who is she?!"

"Ah, for the Great Dragon King to personally take care of her like that..."

"So the boss isn't gay!"

"Of course he's not gay! With that kind of godly looks, wouldn't he simply fall in love with his reflection instead?"

...

Unaware of the gossip spreading about them, the two people who were the main topic of the growing discussion was busy trying to win a tug-of-war.

"I said I'm fine," said Hui Yin for the umpteenth time, trying to shake away his hold. "You're just pressing an icepack anyway. I could do that at home."

"I'm trying to take responsibility." Lu Shen was starting to lose his temper too. "Stay still."

"My arm has nearly turned into an icicle, Lu Shen! Are you trying to cure me, or giving me hypothermia?"

"How could you get hypothermia from an icepack?"

Seeing that the bruises on her wrist weren't getting any better, Lu Shen raised her arm.

"Maybe we should elevate it."

Hui Yin gnashed her teeth. "Fine, smell my armpit. I hope you die of toxic gas asphyxiation."

Lu Shen's face turned black.

Yan, who had been eavesdropping on them, felt rather odd. Why did he feel like...Miss Hui and Boss Lu were somehow behaving like kids?

He sneaked a glance at Miss Nian who had been abandoned by the boss inside the office, and gulped. It was a classic example of putting dates before mates...

Not knowing how to comfort the abandoned 'mate', Yan started cleaning up the smashed jade figurine instead...

Just as he thought, a woman's feelings were really too fragile!
