Chapter 122: Etched On My Mind

Turning as white as a sheet, Kun Lun replied, “Boss, wasn’t my phone confiscated?”

Li Yuan frowned as he held back his raging fury. “Go retrieve it and take a look!”

Kun Lun wanted to die when he saw the countess missed calls. He handed the phone to Li Yuan. “Boss, Ms. Shen called me multiple times.”

Uh…

This really was not his fault!

Boss was the one who had confiscated his phone!

It never crossed his mind that Ms. Shen would actually call his number. The phone number was given to her two months ago but who knew, out of all the times, she would ring in on the day his phone was confiscated?

Li Yuan stared at the phone screen with darkness bubbling in his eyes.

To have called so many times yet not be able to get through, she must have been anxious, scared, and worried.

Unable to bear the sight of Li Yuan beating himself up, Kun Lun put on a bold face and gave his two cents. “Boss, look at the bright side. It’s clear that Ms. Shen is worried about you, cares for you, and has feelings for you because of the calls she made to me.”

“Get lost!” Li Yuan coldly blurted. He stared at the screen of missed calls on the phone with a complicated look on his face. His lean fingers slowly felt the screen, tracing over the young lady’s name.

Shen Xi.

These two words had stirred him for a long time and now the name was etched on his mind.

As he gradually took in the sweet idea that she was worried about him and had feelings for him, his furrowed brows began to relax themselves.

Shen Xi was regretting her actions. Why did she allow her feelings to get the better of her when she thoughtlessly went to meet with Brother and talk to him?

He was smart and did not know what was going on.

Would he think of her as pretentious and hate her for that?

Crouching, she snuck up against the wall and listened for footsteps coming from the other side before quietly revealing her eyes. She cried out after confirming it was Kun Lun, “Kun Lun!”

Her emotions were all over the place when Kun Lun knocked on the door bearing presents. With that, Shen Xi had forgotten to inform him to keep mum about the phone calls.

Kun Lun had no clue why she was here again nor how long she had been waiting. He was in for quite a shock when taking a fleeting glimpse out the window. “Ms. Shen, why are you still here?”

Boss would be sick at heart to find out that she was still waiting here.

“About that… I need to talk to you about something. Don’t tell Brother that I called you.” Shen Xi’s heart sank following the discoloration in Kun Lun’s complexion. “You told him?”

Feeling the pressure resting on his shoulders, Kun Lun took a gulp with difficulty before facing her begrudging eyes. “I’m sorry.”

One thing was for sure, it was Fang Zhu, that b*stard’s fault! Kun Lun would not be caught with an addiction had Fang Zhu not insisted that he beta-test the latter’s newly developed game.

If Kun Lun did not have a game addiction, he would not have played during the meeting.

Had he not played, Boss would not have realized and confiscated his phone.

Kun Lun would not have missed Ms. Shen’s calls. Things would not have progressed this way had his phone not been confiscated.

“I am to be blamed for calling you so many times.” Turning grim in the face, Shen Xi grew listless.

Sigh!

This was fate!

Everything was fated!
