Changyu turned around to hear what Jianjun wanted to say. Since no one wanted her there, wasn't it best for her to just leave quietly?

She decided to just apologize to Cixi another day. She already felt bad for ruining Christmas for this family because she didn't want to celebrate Christmas all by herself this year.

She didn't blame Cixi though. She believed she would have acted the exact same way if the reverse was the case.

"What is it?" She asked Jianjun expressionlessly.

She had noticed how Miss Xia something Kang or whatever her name was had been looking at her. She had been able to guess that this young lady liked Jianjun. Even now as she looked at her direction, Changyu could see how the woman was intently staring at her and Jianjun.

"Come with me" He said to her before leading her to a little room beside the kitchen.

"What just happened?" Bilike asked no one in particular as he looked at the direction they had both walk past.

"Wow... I had no idea the Wang's knew her. This is surprising" Lisa chipped in from her corner and immediately got busy with her phone.

"Don't upload anything sister Lisa. Dad is going to be mad" Joreen said to her before going to sit down at the far end of the restaurant with a sad expression. She wondered why her mother had reacted that way and suddenly left.

The only one who remained completely quiet was Miss Kang. None of them knew exactly what the woman was thinking.

The little room they both entered was where they made accounts and kept their records. Three wooden chairs were placed around a wodden table and there were some papers stacked on the table but the entire place looked neat and organised.

Changyu stood awkwardly after following him in. Truthfully, she didn't know why she had followed him in here in the first place. But it was the first time he was willing to say something to her. Wasn't it best for her to at least listen?

Maybe he was finally going to apologize to her right? She though hopefully.

"You should sit." Jianjun said after pulling out a chair for her.

He had already performed the action before he thought about what he just did. Why on earth did he do that!? He scolded himself again.

Changyu didn't think much about it and just sat down with her legs crossed and hands folded in front of her chest as she eagerly waited to hear what Jianjun wanted to say.

After sitting down opposite her, he cleared his throat awkwardly before speaking.

"About earlier..."

"Yea I'm sorry about that. I really shouldn't have come. Sorry for disrupting your business" She cut him off to sincerely apologize sincerely.

She didn't regret coming though. Eating the food had actually given her the nostalgic feeling Sara had talked about. It was the reason she couldn't stop eating even though she had tasted the Sesame seed which she was actually allergic to.

"I....was going to say—" He paused and looked closely at her but was interrupted by something and so he stopped mid sentence.

He noticed her face was really flushed and he began to wonder why her face looked like that all of a sudden. Was she embarrassed or something?

But then, an action seemed to get his attention. He saw her scratch around her throat area. And he remembered he had seen her scratch it a couple of times already.

"Are you....okay?" He asked in concern before standing up to get a closer look at her. He realised he was sounding really worried but there was nothing he could do about it even if he had tried to ask the next question in a less concerned voice but it didn't seem to have worked also. "Are you sick?"

"Can you.. go outside for a minute?" She blinked a couple of times before standing up with wobbly feet.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to steal anything here" She added in a gentle voice.

Jianjun only sighed and didn't think twice before going to stand outside the door to give her privacy for whatever she was about to do.

After about three minutes, he heard her gentle voice say.. "You can come in"

He gently opened the door and saw her sitting on the chair she had been sitting on eearlier, with her head buried on the table.

He gradually approached her and when he got to where she was sitting with her head down on the table, with quivering hands, he gently tugged her turtleneck down a bit and was shocked to see the red rashes on her neck.

His action caused her to lift her head and pull her turtleneck back up.

"You....are allergic to something?" He asked with wide eyes. Why didn't he ever know about it? He was very sure that it was related to the food he had served her a couple of minutes ago. But at least, he was supposed to know what she was allergic to right?

Changyu didn't respond to his question and just asked back.

"You wanted to say something earlier right?"

"I asked you a question" He countered in displeasure.

"It was just a little allergy. Why are you getting all worked up like you even care?"

"Just a little allergy? Your face was red and swollen and can you see your neck right now? And how come I know nothing about it?"

Changyu scoffed before standing up and muttering under her breath. "Someone might think you are really worried about me. Were you afraid that I was going to die in your restaurant? I'll leave now if you have nothing else to say."

She tried to walk past him but unconsciously, he pulled her back by her hand.

Changyu was a bit startled and turned to look at him. "What....are...you doing...right now?" She stuttered.

He blinked awkwardly before slowly releasing her hand.

He thought of something to say and after a couple of seconds, he was finally able to awkwardly say... "Did you take your medication right now?" He asked her softly.

Changyu stared right back at him before bobbing her head up and down.

"Why do you never take proper care of your health?" He berated her before stopping himself to take a quick breath. "Just rest here for a bit before you go out." He added.

"I'm okay. You can just go do your thing" She said to him with fluttering eyelashes as she tried to avoid eye contact with him.

"Sit! Stop being stubborn" He said to her in displeasure.
