Behind Your Mask Is A Beautiful Smile Chapter 168

As promised, Huan Hei brought Ya Nuo to the company the following morning . He told her that there will be an important meeting with the Bin Corporation's president regarding their future plans in cooperating on new projects .

Since Bin Guan and Bin Ruo were future potential heirs for the company, it was mandatory for them to attend the meeting . As usual, Bin Guan didn't care much about these business meetings and arrived a few minutes later than the meeting time .

It has been a long time since he had visited Xu Corps so he forgot how to get to the conference room . When he turned the corner, he b.u.mped into Ya Nuo, who almost fell to the floor . Bin Guan caught her arm in time and she ended up in his embrace .

For some reason, his heart started to race after coming in contact with her . He thought to himself, 'must be because I rushed to look for that room and she almost fell . '

"Umm . . I'm fine now . Can you let go?" She asked politely since he did save her from falling . She rubbed her lower abdomen gently, 'phew, thank goodness he saved us or I wouldn't know what would've happened to you . '

He apologized for b.u.mping into her and asked her for directions to the conference room, "My apologies for b.u.mping into you, but I am supposed to be at an important meeting right now . Can you show me where Conference room B is?"

She lifted her head, meeting his eyes with hers, "sure . I need to head back there anyways . "

'Her eyes . . . she . . that same pair of beautiful eyes . . '

"Aren't you coming?" She stood at the corner of the hall, waiting for him . "Ah, right! Sorry . " He quickly followed from behind and tried to get a look at her ears, but failed .

She knocked before entering and quietly sat down in the ma.s.sage chair at the back of the room . Bin Guan apologized for his lateness and settled down at an empty seat next to his brother . During the meeting, Huan Hei noticed that Bin Guan wasn't paying full attention to the future proposal . Instead, he was staring at Ya Nuo, who was falling asleep in the ma.s.sage chair .

"Mr . Bin, do you have any inquiries about the upcoming plans?" Huan Hei purposely asked Bin Guan to get his attention .

"Huh? Oh, no, the proposal sounds great . Hope our cooperation will be a good one . " Bin Guan smiled and continued sneaking peeks towards Ya Nuo .

When the meeting ended, Huan Hei walked over to his wife and brushed her cheeks lightly, "Nuo, if you're tired then go back to my office and rest . "

"Hmm? Nnn . . . soon . " she rubbed her half opened eyelids .

He helped her up the chair and made sure to provide her support as they walked out of the conference room . When they exited, they saw Bin Guan waiting outside the hall .

Bin Guan was a bit taken aback when he saw that she was in Huan Hei's arms . Still, his smile remained the same as he walked over to introduce himself, "Hi, I b.u.mped into you earlier . I want to apologize for my clumsiness . My name is Bin Guan . " He stretched out his hands to the sleepy girl whose eyes were almost closed .

She was feeling drowsy and stretched out her hand to shake his, but was interrupted by Huan Hei's squeeze around her shoulders . She looked at him and noticed that he had already reached out to Bin Guan's hands to shake them, "No need for such formality . My wife is a little tired from accompanying me today . Please excuse us for a moment . "

Just like that, Ya Nuo was pulled away back to Huan Hei's office . She was too tired to capture the look on Bin Guan's expression . After they got back to the office, she was already 95% ready for bed . Huan Hei chuckled as he carried her to his private room and tucked her in the bed . After giving her a peck on the forehead, he walked back out to his office, 'Day one and my wife already attracted some bees . '

Bin Guan left the company and immediately contacted his private investigator to gather every detail about Huan Hei's wife . The more he thought about her beautiful pair of eyes, the more he suspected her to be Xiao Ling . The familiarity he felt when he caught her in his arms instinctively told him that she was Xiao Ling .

"If only I could look at her ears . . . if only I could see it at that time . Could it be that I changed so much while growing up that she forgot about me? Hmm . . . I'll check it out . " He spun the pen between his fingers while waiting for her detailed report .

Within the next two hours, the private investigator sent him everything about Ya Nuo . As Bin Guan read about her personal information, his hands grew sweaty . He crunched the corners of the pages as he read line by line from the stack of papers, "What is this bulls.h.i.t?! Are they even human?!"

"Fever, no food, only a thin layer of a blanket during winter, forced marriage???? It's a miracle that she is still alive right now! She probably forgot about my promise to her since I said it during her fever . Sigh . " He shook his head as he continued skimming through the pages of the report .

The investigator managed to get a picture of Ya Nuo when she was a child and noted the detail that she has a crown birthmark behind her ears . When he reviewed her file, he found out about the awful kidnapping and years of torture that she had gone through, which made him angrier . He called the chief of the police department and told him to extend Qiu Rei's punishments to fifteen days .

He jotted down the horrendous beating methods that he had done to her and made sure to return these favors to Qiu Rei . Of course, he didn't forget to shave him bald and have them clip his fingernails out one by one, including his toenails .

"Xiao Ling, I finally found you, but you're already somebody's wife . If I find out that he hurts you in any way, I'll definitely take you away from him . Seems like you don't remember me, but that's okay as well . Perhaps it is better this way; I will do everything behind your back and always protect you . "

That night, he went to the bar and drank his emptiness away . In the middle of drinking, a girl approached him . Her light perfume fragrance gave her away before she even reached for his eyes, "Wei Na, you came . "

"Tch, not fun at all . " She sat down next to the half sobered man . She noticed his unusual behavior and patted his back like comforting a kitten, "What's wrong? You seem out of it today . "

"Remember the girl I've been looking for since long ago?" His voice sounded a bit shattered as if he would break down any second .

"Yeah . She's all you talk about whenever we hang out . " She held her breath as she said this sentence; a tight sensation tugged her heart strings when he mentioned her .

"I found her . " He chugged down another shot .

"Oh . . . well then, why are you acting depressed for?" The air in her lungs seemed stuck as she choked out the words from her throat .

"She's already someone else's wife . " He tapped the bar counter indicating a refill to the bartender .

"Huh?" Her chest immediately lightened as her ears were ringing in disbelief .

"I saw her today . She was in her husband's arms and seemed pretty happy . He's a successful man too . And . . . she didn't recognize me when we met . " His face turned red; unclear whether it is from the alcohol or his heartbroken tears .

She ruffled his hair gently with a patient smile on her face, "You were looking for her because you loved her all along right?"

"Mm . . " he buried his eyes in his arm as sniffles came out of his nose .

"There, there . First loves are the hardest to forget . Every person that you've met is a different lesson to you in life . Whether big or small, they will have an impact on you . Since you chose to let her go and not fight for her because she's happy where she is right now, you've learned the most valuable lesson; to let go . " She wasn't great with words, so she tried to put it in the simplest ways possible .

While he sobbed his sorrow away, she stayed by his side and consoled him, "Sigh, I shouldn't be giving you any advices since you are more courageous than me . At least you have the guts to give up . . "
