Chapter 333: What a cute secretary~

"He is a gentleman. Thank god, he helped us out of there. Climbing out of that tree would have been terrible," Si Xiu pouted. 

The exit they came out from led to the junction that was at a little distance from where their car was parked. Ethan left as soon as he helped them out and Si Xiu was amused at how easily he was ready to sell Mo Yuhan's whereabouts anytime to her cousin.

"Aren't you haphephobic? Then why did it not worsen your condition when you touched him?" She asked. It was one thing she was curious about. In the reports she read about her, there was a mention of her condition, she would rarely initiate touches with males. 

And when she joined Ash Corps as her Secretary, she has been noticing that it was true. And it did not take long for her to conclude that what the reports said was true. 

"My condition… It acts up when I am touched against my wishes or if someone else initiates the touch. It is purely psychological; if I go to a supermarket and someone bumps into me, nothing may happen to me. But at other times, I can't shake hands with business partners. When I lost my balance, I grabbed the closest thing for support, it was an instinct so I guess I am fine," Although she said so, Tang Li wanted to cure her condition. 

It has been years since that accident and it bothered her if someone will use this against her in the future. But then again, she did not want to go to some psychiatrist. Let it go as it goes.

Wait! "How did you know it?" Her condition was not something many people knew about.

"I have noticed you avoiding handshakes during business meetings. One of my friends suffers from it, so I thought maybe you also…" she trailed off, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief when Tang Li did not ask any further questions.

Curiosity kills the cat. Though she has decided to reveal her identity, but she did not know when was the right time to do it.

As they walked towards their car, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "President, why do you think Ethan agreed to help you? You are saying that you never met him but he said that he owes you. Don't you doubt his intentions?"

Tang Li paused, "I don't believe anyone completely just because they look kind," Even this secretary of hers had to go through various tests before she stopped doubting her intentions.

"Then why did you…"

"Then why was I amicable to him?"

Si Xiu nodded. In any case, they could have avoided him but she easily agreed to come out with him when he offered to show her the exit.

"You are smart most of the time, why do you turn silly when it comes to simple things?" Tang Li pinched her adorable cheeks.

"In fact, when one drowns in the depths of an ocean, they will not be able to see the surface. The feeling that would dominate their mind would be desperation, they would be desperate to breathe. At that moment, even if they are given a thin thread, they would be willing to grab it, in hope that they would be able to go to the surface," she murmured with a distant expression on her face.

In fact, she believed it when Ethan said that she would cause trouble if she went after Mo Yuhan. It was evident by the way he was trying to ignore her. And she still did not have much idea about all these, so it was better for her to stay away for now.

But Mo Yuhan was avoiding her like a virus, it scared her if she will not be able to find him as soon as he tried to disappear.

No matter who Ethan was, she decided to take a chance. As long as she could get her man's whereabouts, anything was fine with her.

And if Ethan turned out to be a foe later, she wouldn't mind going head-on with him.

Currently, she was clueless but she would get to the bottom of everything, no matter what it takes. If she couldn't do it on her own, the last option would be… her grandfather.

"What?" She looked at her secretary who was standing there with a dumb expression on her face.

Si Xiu bit her lips, "I used to fail in language subjects and philosophy is not my forte. So, what you said went parallel to my head."

Tang Li chuckled. What a cute secretary. 

"President, I should go inside and call Li Yu. Considering what Ethan said, we should just leave this place right now, without causing any trouble."

Tang Li nodded. She was thinking the same but… "Will you be fine?"

"Don't judge a book by its cover." 

"Alright, I'll wait for you both inside my car," Since they came here separately, she decided to get someone to take the other car back to the hotel. She couldn't believe she just snatched someone's car to trail after Mo Yuhan.

Si Xiu pulled out the car keys from her pocket before passing them to her. She then winked as she walked closer to Tang Li, before pulling out a pistol from her jacket and stuffing it near Tang Li's waist before adjusting her skirt. 

It looked like she was helping her with her dress from afar but only both of them knew about the gun.

"What about you?" 

"I have an extra one." Si Xiu patted her leather jacket before running towards the bar.

Tang Li looked at her retreating back. Although she knew that her secretary had no malicious intentions towards her, but there were things she was hiding; how she got her hands on the guns and how she knew about her health condition was enough to prove there was more to her than she was showing.

She shook her head before walking towards the black Mercedes parked under the shade. 

Mo Yuhan's car was still there in front of her car. When will he leave? Should she wait for him here? 

Shrugging off her thoughts, she listlessly got into the backseat. But what she did not expect was the sudden attack.

"Mmmph!"
