Novel Full 361 Time has stilled
“Let me guess you are my boss, ” Song Xueyun said. He was in the office where the CEO was supposed to be. He used to live in America and the company was founded in America. An Xiulan was close to Li Sicheng who worked for the same company but at the same time, she was closer to Han Nanxian. It all made sense to her. The dots were getting connected now and she was getting a complete picture of what might have happened.
But the feeling associated with this epiphany was very confusing and bittersweet…
She didn’t know what to feel now.
Han Nanxian was her boss, does it mean that?
When she was in Shanghai and they were there together, did he know where she had gotten the job? What was he trying to do? Or was it all just a mere coincidence?
“No, “Han Nanxian declined. He was not her boss. He could see how the wheels of her head were swivelling at a frantic speed. “I’m not your boss.”
She was not working directly under her. He could be her boss’s boss but he was not her boss. Only if this justification was enough to not be killed by her.
“Really?” Song Xueyun asked with furrowed brows. “If you are not my boss, then what are you doing in the office?”
“I’m your husband, ” Han Nanxian stressed on the word as he sat on the desk and looked at her. This posture was very romantic if one were to see it from a distance. A man was sitting on the desk while trying to console his beautiful wife. From here one could see who was the boss of the relationship.
Song Xueyun scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Han Nanxian! Don’t get on my nerves! Husbands don’t behave like how you did!”
All the worries that she was going through all this while transformed into frustration. She didn’t know what she was feeling – relief or frustration. She was so happy to see him well and smiling. She had been overthinking for two days and criticizing herself as she thought that she was the reason why nobody knew where he was but here he was sitting in the office as her boss but still had the audacity to say that he wasn’t her boss.
“What did I do?” Han Nanxian asked with innocence shining in his eyes.
“I have been trying to call you for two days but you didn’t take my calls, ” Song Xueyun said, raging. “If you want to ignore me, just say it straight in my face. Don’t keep your phone switched off. Do you know how many times Yeye asked me about you? Can you stop acting like this?”
Slowly, the frustration came out and she raged over him. However, he didn’t seem to mind her unleashing her anger at him. To be honest, he knew that he deserved it.
Han Nanxian hugged her and patted her back. “I apologize. I wanted to surprise you and I came here two days ago. But I was scared that if I talked to you, I won’t be able to give you a surprise. I wanted to surprise you.”
“Nanxian, there is a difference between surprise and shock, ” Song Xueyun said. “What you gave me is not a surprise but a shock.”
“As long as it was something, ” Han Nanxian said and kept hugging her.
Song Xueyun looked up and glared at him. “I am not going to forgive you. I’m so mad at you.”
“Alright, ” Han Nanxian said in a small voice. She was looking up at him and he was now cupping her face gently. She blinked her eyes and he smiled at her. “You have eye bags under your eyes. It means you didn’t have a good sleep. I caused this, didn’t I? I’m sorry, Yunyun.”
Ugh. Song Xueyun didn’t know this man had this talent. All he had to do was talk nicely and gently to her and she was already melting. Her anger was disappearing as he caressed her cheek with the pad of his thumb.
“I’m sorry, Yunyun, ” Han Nanxian whispered.
Song Xueyun inwardly groaned. She wanted to stay angry at him for more than just a few minutes because it felt so good to be coaxed by him. However, this man was not going to let it happen and she could see it clearly.
“Han Nanxian, tell me clearly how many women you had in your life?” Song Xueyun asked him.
“Why are you asking this question?” Han Nanxuan asked with furrowed brows.
“Because you are so expert at coaxing girls, ” Song Xueyun answered.
Han Nanxian let out a chuckle. “Does it mean you are no longer angry at me?”
“It will depend on your answer, “Song Xueyun answered.
Han Nanxian laughed heartily and then he stared deep into her eyes with intense emotion and said, ” How could I have anyone in my life when a girl stole my heart many years ago?”
“What did she do?” Song Xueyun asked, playing to be oblivious.

He was sitting in a dark corner of the hospital where another little girl was crying. When he asked her why she was crying she told him that her mom was sick and she might lose her. Then, the girl asked him why he was there.
The boy had hesitated for a long time but then he answered her by saying that he was sick and he might leave the world. He had told her that if he was really leaving the world then he would like to leave without the pain of injections pricking inside his skin and the bitterness of medicines coating his tongue.
The little Song Xueyun had held his hand tightly and said that he was not leaving and doctors would cure him for sure. He had smiled because he knew that she was seeing her mother’s case in him but he had let himself believe for years that she had said that for him only.
Indeed, he survived and so did her mother. They became best friends. He fell for her. They separated and then they reunited again. Now they are a married couple. He didn’t know what to call it if not destiny.
