Bai Shixun was shocked when he saw his secretary suddenly appear from behind the sofa.
Fang Ziqian also realized that she had been impulsive and accidentally exposed her whereabouts.
Hence, the scene immediately became a little awkward.
Then, when Bai Shixun regained his senses, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
“Fang Ziqian! Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be working in the company?”
Fang Ziqian choked for a moment. “I… I’ve applied for a leave! Plus, you’re not at the company anyway, so of course I have the freedom to apply for a leave!”
As she said that, Fang Ziqian simply walked to Luo Chenxi’s side and stared at Bai Shixun unceremoniously.
“You, on the other hand, took advantage of Young Master Mu’s absence to come here and threaten his wife. What’s the meaning of this? She almost lost her life, yet you’re expecting her to forget about everything with just a few nice words and a little gift? Do you think that Chen… Xin is that easy to bully?!”
Bai Shixun was so angry that his stomach hurt because the personal secretary that he hired at three times more than the market price was actually criticizing him!
This made him even angrier than Mu Yichen refusing to let Bai Xinxin go.
“Fang Ziqian, this is between me and the Mu Family, you’ve got no right to meddle in this!”
After that, he suppressed his anger and turned to Luo Chenxi, trying his best to soften his tone. “Miss Luo, please don’t mind me if anything I’ve said just now has offended you in any way. However, Bai Xinxin is my one and only sister and our parents passed away early, thus we’ve been looking out for each other since we were young. So, I can’t just ignore her.”
Luo Chenxi pursed her lips.
“Second Young Master Bai, I’ve already said that I really can’t interfere in this matter. So, you’d be better off looking for Yichen to talk about it directly.”
Bai Shixun could see that she was determined and knew that it was only going to be a waste of effort if he pressed on.
Hence, he could only turn around and leave.
Fang Ziqian looked at his back and her anger was still lingering. “I told you that my boss isn’t a decent person! Why can’t he differentiate between right and wrong? Plus, he’s still got the audacity to come here and threaten you. You should hurry up and give Young Master Mu a call and complain about this!”
Luo Chenxi then frowned. “Qian Qian, what are you doing out here? This is the Mu Family’s villa, so Bai Shixun couldn’t actually do anything overboard here. Now look what you’ve done, wouldn’t you get in trouble when you go back later on?”
Although Fang Ziqian was a little nervous, she still said, “What’s he going to do to me? It’s his fault to begin with, so I’m only siding with reason!”
After that, she chatted with Luo Chenxi for a while more before she left.
Then, right after she left the villa, she was suddenly met with a strong force who grabbed onto her wrist and dragged her to a small road around the corner.
Fang Ziqian was initially shocked, but when she clearly saw the person in front of her, her face immediately turned black.
“Bai Shixun, what are you trying to do?”
“Fang Ziqian, that’s quite some nerve you’ve got there now. Not only did you sneak out behind my back, you even dare to come against me deliberately?”
Bai Shixun raised her chin as he said that, forcing her to look at him directly as he felt an unspeakable frustration in his heart.
‘Even though Fang Ziqian has always been against me since the first day she became my secretary.
‘Today, she’s made me feel particularly uncomfortable.
‘I even thought that we’d come to some kind of tacit understanding by now…’
“Since you’re friends with Luo Chenxin, then you should go up to her and say some nice things to get her to agree to let Xinxin out.”
Fang Ziqian was feeling a little guilty at first, but when she heard this, she immediately became furious.
“Bai Shixun, in your dreams! I won’t plead for the woman who almost killed my best friend! Let me go!”
She struggled hard, trying to shake the man off.
However, Bai Shixun held her wrist tightly and refused to let go. “Promise me first… F*ck!”
His face suddenly twisted because Fang Ziqian had actually stepped on him fiercely!
In fact, she was wearing stilettos at the time, so that step of hers almost broke his bone.
“You d*mned woman, come back!”
When he saw that Fang Ziqian was going to run, he endured the pain and chased after her.
