Chapter 349: Siblings from past life

In the shopping mall.

"Princess, we are running from this store to that store and you have already purchased all the things here. Why can't we simply go to them?" He looked at the three people who were discussing something with the store owner of a gift store.

Si Xiu nodded, "Yes, President, I think Mark is right. You should go and talk to President Mo," she sighed.

"Loitering behind them like this makes me feel a creepy stalker," He couldn't agree more with Si Xiu at this point. 

"You two are dancing on the same tune?" Tang Li raised an eyebrow. Since when did they become so close?

Mark laughed, "Of course, we would dance to the same tune. I feel like she was my long-lost sister in our past life."

Si Xiu smiled, "The feeling is mutual."

Tang Li rolled her eyes at their lively chatter.

"So, why don't you just go after your man? What's the fun of watching him from distance? You seem like a creepy stalker fella who can't let go of her unrequited love," Mark scoffed.

Tang Li pursed her lips. Creepy stalker fella? Her fingers fiddled with the tip of her long high-ponytail as she glanced at Mo Yuhan from the distance. Along with Mo Yuhan, there were two other men whom she recognized in an instant. One was Ethan, the person who betrayed his friend by selling off his current whereabouts to her. The other man…He was Ye Jie.

She has only met him once when he came to Grace villa in the past. The man wasn't incredibly fond of her neither did she liked the man who behaved like a mistress around her husband. She had seen him together with Mo Yuhan and Ye Lan on the beach yesterday but after she reached that hidden bar, he was nowhere to be found.

Looking at Ye Jie, Tang Li was reminded of something. Hasn't this man been calling Mo Yuhan continuously just before he left Beijing?

"President, say what do we do now?" Si Xiu curiously looked at her.

"Since you are his long-lost sister, go with him and have some fun in the mall. You can also cultivate the feelings from your past life," She suggested with a straight face, leaving the two of them speechless.

"I am sorry," Si Xiu said with an apologetic face thinking that she has angered Tang Li. Ever since she has joined Ash Corporation, she has always kept a distance from Tang Li and tried her best to become a perfect secretary. 

She kept an eye on her to ensure her safety, never once losing her professionalism in the process. 

But when she came to States together with Tang Li, she has started overstepping her boundaries again and again unknowingly. Although she knew that Tang Li was her cousin but to her, she was just a secretary. And just because of Tang Li's nice treatment towards her, she almost forgot her current position.

What a mess she was! She thought to herself.

Tang Li raised an eyebrow at her and did not speak.

Mark stayed silent when he sensed the tension between the two women, "Err… Kara, say something…" He finally said when he couldn't take the depressing atmosphere anymore. 

"President, I won't do that again. You… Please don't be angry with me," She reminded herself to not overstep her boundaries. 

Si Xiu looked like an innocent bunny on the verge of a breakdown. Even Mark couldn't bear the sight of the pitiful woman.

Tang Li pinched her cheeks, "What are you apologizing for? I was serious when I said that. Go and have some fun with Mark, you can also opt for shopping. I pay you pretty well, don't I?"

Si Xiu nodded. The monthly income of Tang Li's secretary was not something to be underestimated. A normal person would be tired out if he tried to spend the money. But luckily... she happened to be a spendthrift. She would not get tired even if she shopped all day long.

Wait… Did she say she was serious? She initially thought that her cousin was angry but looks like she misunderstood the situation. Si Xiu looked at Tang Li doubtfully. 

Tang Li frowned, "Don't give me that 'you're a monster' look. You don't have to stick to me all the time. I am not someone who would expect you to work for me 24/7 just because I pay you. Do I look like that kind of cruel boss?"

"Pfft…would you mind it if I said yes?" 

Tang Li glared at Mark.

Si Xiu hesitated, "But…you.."

"I have my bodyguards here. And you have already tested their capabilities before coming here, haven't you?"

Si Xiu nodded. When Tang Li refused to take Li Yu out with them, she had no choice but to test her bodyguards' strength and to her relief, they were not lame. As long as they were here, nothing would happen to her cousin and she was sure of that.

Tang Li smiled, "You are a young lady. Stop acting like a nagging mother," She looked at Mark before adjusting his sunglasses, " Take her with you and don't be recognized. Considering how many times you have entered the Forbes list, my secretary would be flattened on the ground if someone recognizes you and calls the media. Go on, I've something to do here."

Mark snorted, "More like you have to stalk your husband like a creep," He dragged Si Xiu with him, "Come here Xiuxiu. Brother will show you around that store. Look at that trench coat hanging there… the grey one. It's my latest design and is trending too. I'll buy it for you if you can't afford it given your stingy boss…"

"No no... She is not stingy at all…"

"Humph...you don't…"

Tang Li watched them until their voices could no longer be heard. As soon as they were out of sight, she waved her left hand slightly and a man dressed in a casual T-shirt and ripped jeans appeared beside her.
