Xue Xiu Yong didn't answer, silently confirming Xiao Yun's words.

Xiao Yun slanted her head and raised her hand. Seeing this, Xue Xiu Yong thought that Xiao Yun would want to slap him to vent her anger and shut his eyes without dodging.

Different from his thoughts, Xiao Yun placed her hand on Xue Xiu Yong's shoulder, making him surprised.

With a twisted smirked, Xiao Yun spoke. "I'm Yu Xiao Yun, the fiancee of Wang Li Lei. Do you really think I would run from this?"

She wasn't the same secluded princess as how she was in the past, she wouldn't want to hide behind someone while they protect her until finally drawing out their last breath. She had enough of that, she had seen Wang Li Lei taking a bullet for her and she never wanted that to ever happen again.

Compared to what she experienced before in her past life, being bullied worth less than a pinch of salt to her eyes.

Xue Xiu Yong's eyes froze. On the other hand, Nie An lifted her shoulders with a proud face.

"Y- Are you not afraid of these bullies?" Xue Xiu Yong asked.

Xiao Yun shook her head.

"You're not angry? or sad?" He once again asked.

" Of course I'm angry, who in their right mind would not get angry if they are bullied? " Xiao Yun returned.

Xue Xiu Yong, "Th- Then."

"However, I will not back down and cry that easily like what they want me. What they gave me- I will, of course, pay them back twice-fold." Xiao Yun smiled with her angelic face with words contradicting to her smile.

Xue Xiu Yong couldn't follow her thread of thoughts and instead broke a laugh. "Y- You are really very good at breaking through someone else's wall of thoughts."

Nie An agreed in silence laugh.

Xiao Yun shrugged her shoulder. "Anyway, I'm going now- I'm hungry. For the moment, remember, don't come near me."

"I understand..." Seeing Xiao Yun walking away, he stopped her for a moment. "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yun gave a soft sigh. "If you keep on apologizing with me, you're gonna make me look like a mafia's daughter."

Xue Xiu Yong laughed. "That's the last time, thank you."

Xiao Yun lifted her brow. The "thank you" that Xue Xiu Yong meant must have been for not getting angry with him, avoid or hate him for being the reason for the bullying.

Xiao Yun walked away as she replied. "That's better. Thank you is far better than I'm sorry." Nie An followed Xiao Yun from the back in silence before glancing behind to Xue Xiu Yong who now could smile and felt some weight in her heart lifted.

As soon as Xiao Yun came back at her home, she took a quick shower and wore a clean-cut short sleeve chiffon ivory blouse with a bow on the collar and soft pink long blouse with a matching red pencil skirt that gave a beautiful fit to her small waist and figure.

Xiao Yun sat on her makeup table and put on a mature and elegant makeup to finish her office look. As the last step to her makeover, Xiao Yun wore a matching simple long earring with a blue jewel and watch that she received from Wang Li Lei and ended her whole look.

"Mn! Good!" Xiao Yun praised herself in front of the mirror. Quickly, she went down from her room to the entrance and greeted by her two dependable bodyguards.

Tian Yi who was still eating on a piece of biscuits choked down the moment he turned his face at Xiao Yun. Beating his own chest, Tian Yi exclaimed. "Woah!!! Da- Jie!"

Hi Gu Yan turned around and had a statue-like face.

Xiao Yun gave a confident smile. If her usual face without makeup gave her a youthful and adorable angel-like look, her makeup at the moment gave her a strong and confident look, a face of a person who gave off a reassuring feeling around her. It was a perfect image of a pioneer that everyone would instinctively follow.

"How do I look?" Xiao Yun asked.

Tian Yi quickly gave his both thumbs up. "Amazing! You look like the person from a drama!"

Hi Gu Yan didn't understand Tian Yi's second line, but he expressed his agreements with the second one immediately.

Xiao Yun thought for a moment before taking out her phone from her black purse to Tian Yi. "Can you help me take a picture? A nice one, if you could."

Tian Yi nodded in a hurry. He looked toward the flowery vase under the staircase that was near the window and positioned Xiao Yun around that place. "Da- Jie, can you pose there?"

Xiao Yu moved to the side and posed as to how Tian Yi led her. After a minute of shuttering the camera, Tian Yi was finally satisfied to capture the whole atmosphere to the picture and passed it to Xiao Yun while rubbing his nose in a wait for praise.

Xiao Yun slid her fingers through her phone and examine through the picture which was proportionally taken. The picture was beautifully taken with warm colors from the sunlight that harmonized with the furniture and her clothes.

"This's great! Tian Yi, I didn't know that you were good at taking pictures!" Xiao Yun greatly complimented him.

"Hehehe..." Tian Yi laughed timidly. "I always helped my sister to take pictures, that's why I'm pretty good at this. When I was back in my hometown, my family mostly consisted of men and the only girl we have is my younger sister. That's why we tend to spoil her. "

"Oh..." Xiao Yun gave a long note at her understanding before entering the car.

As soon as she entered, Xiao Yun didn't forget to send the picture that she took previously to Wang Li Lei.

[Lovely Xiao Yun: I'm on my way to the war! *Rabbit stickers*]

[King Li Lei: Good luck.] After a whole round of a minute, Wang Li Lei added.

[King Li Lei: Very beautiful.]

Although Wang Li Lei's chat was as stiff as always, Xiao Yun knew that he must have hesitated for a moment not knowing what exact word he wanted to use to compliment her. The words that he sent the last must need so much thought that he broke it down into two bubble chat.

'How adorable...' Xiao Yun muttered while burying her face with her phone and giggled.

Wang Li Lei on the other hand inside his office tapped his chair before glancing at Jang Hyun next to him. "Is the preparation in the garden done yet?"

Jang Hyun began his report. "Yes, the Hydrangea Flowers in the garden would be in perfect bloom tonight. The remodeling in the young lady's room has also finished last afternoon. The furniture and all the things needed by the young lady have also finished."

Wang Li Lei leaned back to his chair and ordered. "Call Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan. Make sure Xiao Yun arrives at the designed time. Prepare everything without any flaw."

"Yes, sir." Jang Hyun bowed.

The distance between her house and the Azure Company wasn't too far off and had no traffic. Azure Building was simple yet stylish. With a gray wall, the small company was separated into two floors. The first floor as the parking lot and the second floor as the main company. The whole furniture was futuristic and chic.

When she arrived at the main building for the company, she examined the building silently. The staircase to the building used sandalwoods that were sturdy and firm with glasses handrail.

The entrance of the company also used light-colored wood adorned with Bougainvillea flowers that made the whole atmosphere brighter and cherry.

'The person who designed the whole building must have taken everything into consideration. The designs are not too merry and over but simple yet gave off a different feeling than a normal company.'

Hi Gu Yan opened the door politely for Xiao Yun and followed her from behind. The sight of Xiao Yun entering the company was almost as though a confident renowned businesswoman had just arrived back to her own company.

Two men who were waiting for the new investor immediately froze from the scene. They didn't expect such a young woman with two fierce-looking bodyguards to arrive at the company.

Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes at Chuan Huan Jing and Zhu Yi Nian. Chuan Huan Jing wore a navy turtleneck and plain black pants. His hair was light brown colored and had a very pale colored skin as though he had never come in contact with the sun at all, making women who saw his skin would envy. However, with his wavy long hair scattered all over his face, covering his eyes and face, his appearance looked rather untidy.

On the other hand, Zhu Yi Nian or the shameless head designer who in the future would sell all Chuan Huan Jing's designs wore a smart-looking white shirt covered by greyish blazers and pants. His shoes were unlike Chuan Huan Jing's which was brandless but a high-branded name. He had a face that was befitting of his name and shamelessness. It was a handsome face that was filled with smirks, a type of face that everyone would want to punch the most.
