Chapter 234: Special relationship

"But… President, could you please tell me who is she to you?" Lucy asked softly, hiding her clenched fist under her sleeve.

Mo Jia, given her low EQ obviously did not notice anything amiss but Tang Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at the manager, before looking back at his Secretary, "She is my friend," he said.

Mo Jia frowned. He did not like explaining himself to someone then what happened today?

Lucy inwardly sighed in relief before bowing her head, "It was my bad, then. I apologize for today, Miss," She said as she glanced at Mo Jia but there was an indignant feeling rising in her chest.

"You have worked under me for years, you should know how to behave," Tang Yichen coldly said.

Lucy shivered. She understood he was indirectly telling her not to interfere in his matters ever again.

"I'll take my leave," She bowed yet again, turned around, and left as soon as Tang Yichen nodded his head.

Mo Jia glanced at Tang Yichen strangely. Friend? Did he not like to brag about her being his wife? In front of her family members and the hospital staff, he has always acted dominantly.

She shrugged off. It's better this way, she will not have to be bothered by his 'fans'.

But even though she consoled herself with it, the term 'friend' did not sit well with her.

"Let's go, didn't you bring me out for a dinner date?" Tang Yichen asked as he looked around the lavish lobby.

"I'm not in the mood to dine," Mo Jia said absent-mindedly.

"Why? Are you fine? Shall we go to see a doctor?" Tang Yichen worriedly glanced at her.

Mo Jia's brows bumped together, "I happen to be a doctor, you know?"

"Then.."

"I am just tired, let's go home," Mo Jia said, not in the mood to speak any further.

Tang Yichen stroked her head, "Fine, you wait, I'll go get the car," he said before walking out of the lobby.

Mo Jia sighed. She did not why she reacted like that. She just felt like doing it.

The manager who was pretending to be invisible, while hovering near the grand door, walked towards Mo Jia and bowed, "Miss, I hope you won't hold this against me. I had my reasons behind it," he said apologetically. 

The man did not want to offend Lucy who was said to have a close relationship with Tang Yichen, neither did he want to offend Mo Jia for whom Tang Yichen reprimanded Lucy.

"Reasons for what? To insult me?" Mo Jia furrowed her brows in confusion. The man made his choice by trying to humiliate her, what reason was he talking about?

"That, Miss, President Tang, and Miss Lucy have a special relationship, so I did not dare to rebuke her even though she was wrong. I hope you won't hold this against me," The man bowed before he turned around to leave.

'Special relationship?' Mo Jia was suddenly reminded of how he introduced her as his friend. Is it the reason why he hid their relationship from her?

…

Tang Li opened her eyes when the bright sunlight hit her face, she instinctively rolled to the other side of the bed, trying to snuggle closer to her human heater.

But realization dawned upon her when she found the 0ther side of the bed empty.. and cold.

Tang Li sat up on the bed as she looked at the clock. She raked her fingers through her hair before jumping out of the bed.

"Yuhan…" she checked in the washroom, walk-in wardrobe before walking out of the bedroom, "Yuhan, where are you?"

Her long black locks dangled near her waist as she ran around the large house, barefooted, trying to search for him.

She glanced at the study room, its door was left open. A ray of hope lit up in her heart as she ran inside. She was not poised and graceful like her usual self, she looked somewhat insane but she did not care about her so-called image as she ran inside the study room.

A sense of relief washed over her heart when she found him there, his head leaning on the cold desk, his breathing was even as he slept soundly, her chest heaved up and down as she tried to catch her breath.

But she made sure not to make a sound. She did not want to wake him. She tiptoed to his side, before kneeling on the ground. 

Between the husband and wife, the royal etiquettes did not seem to exist. They did not bother about the rule stating that they were not allowed to kneel in front of anyone.

Tang Li narrowed her eyes when her gaze landed on his prominent dark circles. Did he not sleep at all yesterday?

She doubted it since he would have been already awak4e by this time. This was the first time they slept in a different room while being in the same house but last night she did not dare to face him after she hurt him.

Her heart ached for him as she raised her hand to caress his face. He was just as handsome as she remembered him to be, like some Greek God, she thought as her fingers glided over his hair bang resting above his eyebrow.

Just as she was tracing his cheek. The man opened his eyes and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground. It made her pause but she did not remove her hand from his cheek.

She gazed at his azure blue eyes, even after all that happened, there was no anger in them, maybe it was a gut feeling or maybe she just sensed it.

"I…" She opened her mouth to speak but Mo Yuhan removed her hand from his face before standing up from the swivel chair.

Just as he was about to walk out of the study, Tang Li stood up as she held his hand. 

Mo Yuhan paused in his tracks.
