Zhao shockingly looked at his father. "Fire her but why?" Zhao asked confusedly. Lee Shan Bin glared at his son. "Do you not know the reason? She should not be in my hotel company in the first place but you hired and made her manager. I did not say anything till now because I respect your decisions too." Shan Bin asserted.


    "But dad I cannot fire her out of sudden. She is worth that job. I considered other factors too. I know she is married but her working life has nothing to do with my likeness towards her," opined Zhao.


    "You are forgetting something, Zhao. If that woman had liked you then she would have reciprocated your feelings 8 years ago during the college years. But what she did? She used you when her parents died and her family threw her out. You started working with her in that stupid cafe." Lee Shan blurted out his anger at his son, Zhao.


    Zhao looked at his father with an unbelievable look. "Dad, how do you know so much? Did you spy on me? I told you not to intervene in my personal life then why are you doing so? Do not force me to run out of this house again," muttered Zhao.


    "Zhao, what kind of behavior are you showing?" Chynaa scolded Zhao. He slightly laughed and left the living room. As soon as he reached his room, he slammed the door with such a loud voice that his parents in the living room heard that.


    Lee Shan took out his phone and then called his secretary. "Mr. Han call Mishi Xin today to my office. Do not let this be known by my son or the others," ordered Lee Shan and then cut the call.


    Chynaa looked at her husband worriedly. "Zhao will get angry," murmured Chynaa.


    Lee Shan crossed his arms. "I have to intervene else he will waste his precious time after that woman," grunted Lee Shan. "I am going to the company. Do not say anything to Zhao he will get angrier," stated Lee Shan; got up from the couch and left for his room.


    "This girl has no shame still after my son when she has her husband. I have to talk with her and tell her to leave my son alone," murmured Chynaa and called for the maid. The maid came there. "Take this tray to the kitchen and prepare for breakfast," said Chynaa.


    "Yes madam," said the maid and picked the tray, leaving for the kitchen.


    Zhao in his room was throwing things in anger and then sat on the floor. "Why Mishi you have to love Xian? My parents are now making me marry a stranger. You have never once treated me like Xian. Whenever I tried getting close to you, you pushed me but when Xian did the same thing, you happily accepted the things. But then I love you so much that I am willing to give up on you again. I will be happy seeing you from far away," mumbled Zhao while the tears were pouring down his eyes.

    Mishi got ready for the office when she heard her family members'' voices. Quickly she grabbed her bag from the table and ran downstairs. Seeing her running on the stairs, Yaixi, her uncle told her to slow down. "Uncle, do not worry too much about me," said Mishi loudly and came down the stairs.


    "Are you okay, Sisi?" Chunhua asked with concern. Mishi nodded.


    "Her hubby was with her so of course, she would be fine. Am I right, Mishi?" Weng Wei questioned in a teasing tone. Everyone laughed hearing this while Mishi blushed.


    "Sisi, you are blushing," said Chang teasingly. "Chang, of course, she will blush. Her hubby must have been romantic with her," said Weng Wei.


    "These kids," murmured Ginny. "Do not tease her. Go to your room," said Ginny, his mother. "Mishi, sorry for not telling you earlier. We met with Xian outside the house and he told us that he will come to take you in the evening," said Ginny with a smile while caressing Mishi''s head.


    "Mom, then when will I tease her? In the evening she will leave for her hubby''s home which is also her home," stated Weng Wei. Hearing this everyone got teary-eyed.


    "I will not go then. I will..." Ginny cut her words and said, "What are you saying, Mishi? You can come here whenever you want to." Mishi hugged her aunt tightly. "I do not remember anything. I am scared," murmured Mishi.


    Weng Wei and Chang looked at each other. "I know it is difficult to leave your house but then your husband is also waiting for you. Your family is waiting for you. It is difficult for everyone," said Ginny, patting Mishi''s back. Everyone was emotional when Mishi''s phone rang.


    Mishi pulled away from the hug and answered the call. It was Mr. Han. After talking with him she hung up the call. "I have to leave urgently. I will see you in the evening." Saying this, Mishi left the house. She got into her car and left for the company.


    An hour later when she arrived at the company, she went to the Chairman''s office. Mr. Han took her further inside the cabinet. She was quite nervous too because this was the first time she was going to face the chairman. As she entered the cabinet, she greeted Lee Shan who told her to have a seat on the sofa there. Mishi thanked him and sat opposite him on the sofa such that she was facing him.


    "Mrs. Zhang," Lee Shan started his conversation with this. She looked at him to know how he knew when she did not tell. But then she thought it must be Zhao. "Do not be surprised," stated Lee Shan and sipped the tea. "My son told me," Lee Shan completed his sentence.


    "I called you here not as an employee but as a friend of my son. I am surprised why are you not able to see this that you are a married woman and you should not eye a second man when your husband is alive." Lee Shan was quite blunt while speaking to her.


    "Sorry Sir, but I have never eyed a second man apart from my husband. I always have seen him as a friend," stated Mishi.


    "Then do you know about his likeness towards you or have you lost those memories too?" Lee Shan Bin inquired.


    "I know," Mishi replied.


    Lee Shan smiled and sipped the tea again. He continued drinking the tea until the cup got emptied. Putting the cup on the table, he looked at Mishi. "Then why did you not prefer to stay away from him?" Lee Shan asked.


    "Sir, I told him that he should not..." Shan Bin stopped her in the middle and said, "You should not in the first place join this company and let him do your chores. He helps you that are fine but going to your home, taking care of you, picking you up from the house, and then fight with his parents for a woman who is married already, that is not okay in any sense.


    You must have stopped him but you did not. Do you want me to take further action on this? Do you want me to talk with your husband that he should take care of his wife instead of throwing her on my son?" Lee Shan bluntly stated.


    "Sorry, sir. This will not happen. I will leave the company and talk with him-"


    "That is not needed. I do not want you to talk with my son. If possible please maintain a social distance from him. I do not want my son to be mad at his parents for a random woman," muttered Lee Shan. Mishi got teary-eyed hearing such things about herself.


    "Sir, please do not raise finger on my character. I understand that it is my mistake not to be clear with Zhao in the first place. I will assure you no such thing will ever happen in the future. " Mishi cleared herself. Lee Shan Bin nodded.


    "I was not pointing a finger at your character. As a parent, I got blunt on you. I hope no such thing will happen in the future from your end. You will no longer work in this company. If he will ask then you know what you have to say," muttered Lee Shan.


    Mishi nodded and assured him no such thing will happen from her end. Lee Shan gestured to her to leave the cabinet. Mishi got up from the couch and left the cabinet. Heavy tears were formed in her eyes when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took out the phone from her pocket and saw Xian''s name on the screen.


    A smile carved on her lips and she answered the call. "Mishi, I love you," the first thing Xian from another side of the phone. Unknowingly the tears started pouring down her eyes as she sobbed.
