Secret Marriage : Wife Spoiling Husband

"ANSWER ME!" Long Xun roared.

"No Boss. " Everybody answered unison.

"Oh! Then why did I find all guards who were supposed to watch over the night, sleeping yesterday?" he asked but nobody answered.

"If you guys like sleeping and being lazy so much, then tell me. I will help you sleep peacefully for the rest of your life and trust me nobody will come to disturb you, in your grave." he roared.

"Sorry Boss. It won't happen again." Everybody apologized.

"I am leaving for another two or three days and when I return, if I find somebody lazy on their work then you all know what I'll do, don't you?" he asked giving them a devilish smile.

Everybody gulped in fear and nodded their head like a chicken.

"Good." Long Xun smiled. "Go and take the c level punishment," he ordered. Everybody shivered in fear for the c level punishment for it was a very tough and harsh punishment in their regime but they still complied with it knowing that it was their fault.

As everybody started walking away to get their punishment, Long Xun suddenly said, "Stop Layla." 

Layla went still and then she turned around to look at Long Xun. "Yes boss?" she asked carefully.

"What did the doctor say about Su Yan's condition?" he asked.

Hearing this question, Layla sighed in relief thinking that Long Xun asked her to stop because of this not because of something else. "The doctors said the Su Yan has no problem in her body but because of all the tortures she might have gone through, her brain has regressed to that of a child's," she answered.

"Hmm...." Long Xun nodded. Internally, he was happy that the worst thing he thought about her that she might have been assaulted by Xavier's and his men turned out to be wrong. Thankfully, they didn't do anything to her.

"Should I leave Boss?" Layla asked carefully when she saw that Long Xun didn't say anything for a long time.

"Where is Su Yan?" he asked.

"In her room, " Layla replied.

"Are you sure?" 

"Y-yes Boss. She is her in the room." Layla answered confidently.

"And what about yesterday night? Where was she then?" Long Xun asked.

Layla paused. She looked at Long Xun's smiling face clearly and she didn't know how to answer it. Where would Su Yanyan go yesterday night? Nowhere. Layla remembered that after dinner how she has read a bed-time story to Su Yanyan and she had watched her falling asleep.

"Sleeping..." Layla answered in a small voice after carefully remembering all the things. 

"Really?" Long Xun raised his brows. "If she was sleeping then how come I saw her planting trees in the middle of the night?" he asked.

What?

Layla was shocked and confused and she didn't know what to say. How can she not wake up when Su Yan left the room? "I am sorry Boss." she quickly apologized knowing her faults. She should have stayed alert even in her sleep because that's how she was trained to be.

Long Xun sighed. "Be careful, Layla. You never know when the enemy is coming for you." 

"I know, Boss. It won't happen again." Layla assured.

"Make sure of that, " Long Xun nodded. "Take proper care of Su Yan for the next few days when I am away," he instructed.

Layla nodded and then she left. After everybody had given away to do their respective jobs, only Long Xun and Housekeeper Qin were left in the hall. Housekeeper Qin sat next to Long Xun and he asked, "Long Xun you are going away again?"

Long Xun nodded.

"Where? For what?" Housekeeper Qin implored.

"It's nothing..." Long Xun shrugged. 

Housekeeper Qin didn't ask about it anymore because he understood that Long Xun wasn't going to tell anything to him. Even though if Long Xun didn't tell him so what? He could figure it out himself. Long Xun must be wanting to know the truth regarding Li Xiaolu and that incident.

But poor Long Xun! No matter where he goes or to whom he goes, he won't find anything. It's a dead-end for Long Xun. Everything related to that incident is personally cleaned by Housekeeper Qin himself and now is not the perfect time for Long Xun to know anything.

When his Master is ready, only then will Long Xun know about everything. So, Housekeeper Qin wasn't worried about Long Xun and his search for the truth.

After eating his breakfast, Long Xun went back to his room and called his subordinate. "What did you find?" he asked once the call was connected.

"Boss I couldn't find much. Everything is very well covered and — "

"Don't waste my time and get to the point." Long Xun grumbled.

"There is one couple who might be able to tell you about the information that you need." 

"Who and Where?" Long Xun asked.

The person on the other side gave a description of the couple and their address before hanging up the call. After getting the information that he needed Long Xun was in a good mood. At least, he had some kind of a lead on his mission to search for the truth.

Now, this couple will tell him about what exactly happened on the day Li Xiaolu was born.

"Uncle Qin, I am leaving." Long Xun said as he sat in his jeep. "Make sure that nobody is being lazy again and take extra care of Su Yan," he instructed. "I don't want anything to happen to her," he said.

"Don't worry, Long Xun. I'll take care of her..." Housekeeper Qin nodded as he watched Long Xun leave in his jeep.

An hour later, Long Xun was on his way driving toward the outskirts of another city where that couple lived. Suddenly, he got a call from Housekeeper Qin.

"Is everything alright Uncle Qin?" Long Xun asked with a frown when he heard Housekeeper Qin's anxious voice.

"Long Xun, we... we have a problem." Housekeeper Qin said anxiously.
