The Emperor's Pampered Wife 39 For The Meantime

"Get every detail of those men and this bar" he said as he gently wrapped Wei Yan in a blanket as the weather was getting colder. His heart ached as he watched how her breathing hitched at the uncomfortable feeling in her system.

He looked at Fang Tao who already had an apologetic and frowned. "Don't look at me like that, I feel no remorse towards you. You did your part of the job and even took hold of protecting her when it's my duty as her husband. This incident is not caused by your negligence, but her cla.s.smate's evil intentions for which none of you can be blamed. However, remember not to let your guard down at anyone around her. I don't want anything to take advantage of her in any way"

Fang who had a dejected face on earlier felt a little bit relieved. He slowly nodded his head at his boss who was holding Wei Yan in his arms so gently. "I understand, boss"

Ji Li Zhao immediately pulled Wei Yan closer to him. "Summon Doctor Mao to Li Wei Mansion. I can't be rest a.s.sured until I hear his diagnosis"

A simple nod was all Fang can give right now as he saw how much his boss' forehead continued to wrinkle in worry. He was about to close the door to give his boss the privacy and peace he needed when he was suddenly stopped by another order. "Take care of Xie Na for the meantime. If her brother finds out of her drunken state, she'll get punished for it. I can't allow my wife to go to trouble pulling her out of their mansion again"

Fang took a side glance at the car behind them where Xie Na was in and was clearly a bit confused. Punish? But isn't she already old enough to drink and even live alone?

His boss, of course, knows he was confused. "Wei Yan considers her a sister, so she's basically family. She's quite independent and outgoing but her brother is quite strict when it comes to drinking and only puts his trust on Wei Yan"

Xie Zhong is a very protective brother, especially when he was younger and single. He acc.u.mulated his muscles for his desire to protect his baby sister from men and up until now, he still held grudges for Yao He and detest her current boyfriend. He knows Xie Na is a troublemaker and is always going around looking for her man, but since he got married and now a father he has much less time to keep a close watch on her unlike before where he can stick around like her guard.

The reason for his strictness is a little bit complicated as it came from a tragedy that befell their family. There are four Xie offsprings, and he was only the third child. Their eldest brother is a dignified man who now takes full control of Xie Corp. and their older sister, had long pa.s.sed the world. She was his idol and had been with her since toddler days, however, she was taken away from them.

It was supposed to be a happy day at their cla.s.s reunion when she was forced to drink and got drunk. Her other drunken cla.s.smates had no idea that while they were partying, she was left alone on the corner. She had already lost her senses and died from the hands of filthy men who hara.s.sed, abused, raped and killed her after getting the pleasure that they needed. Xie Zhong who was supposed to accompany her at that time felt his world shatter with the news of her death. He temporary lost sanity and had to take psychological sessions to bring him back to normal. After that, the family had lost their soul.

Xie Na's arrival to the world was a miracle to them, that's why she was pampered and had always been treasured by Xie Zhong as he felt it was his retribution. His negligence to Xie Mani caused her death in which he always felt was his fault. So he wanted to do anything to protect his baby sister from suffering such fate. He banned her of liquor...but somehow, Xie Na grew differently despite all their pampering. She was wild and a bit chaotic. She enjoys adventures, quarrels, and even want to cause trouble all the time. Even though she was banned she still found ways to sneak a drink and the one who gets stuck to regulate and take care of her when she's drunk is none other than Wei Yan. Somehow she had taken in the responsibility to take Xie Na out of their mansion by begging her family whenever she gets punished for her behavior.

Fang who only knows her basic information knew nothing of this, however, he felt that Xie Zhong was a great man for being strict on Xie Na when it comes to drinking. He thinks it's dangerous for a woman to get drunk especially on such public places. Unlike men, women can be easily targeted when someone feels the desire to do something evil and it gets much worse when they get drunk since they mostly lose the power to fight back. Even though they came from wealthy families, they can't be exempted from such rampant crime. If he was not there, the both of them could have been placed in a really sticky and perilous situation.

"You know her address. She was red earlier, so her allergies must have acted up again. Give her the medicine, its probably in her bag. Don't allow her to go to work tomorrow, Huang Xun will handle everything" he said and slowly closed the door before Fang could even refute or refuse her arrangements. Afterwards, he ordered his driver to get a move on, leaving behind a confused wolf.

Somehow, he felt that he's been set up. He felt his boss was pushing him somewhere he shouldn't be.

However, it was an order and he really can't disobey a reasonable order such as this. The Xie Family can't find out, and coincidentally, most of his men today are married ones who had always been given not to take up night shift for the sake of their family. He can only sigh as he walked towards the car and getting inside.

He found her curled up like a fur ball and thus looked at Driver Shin with a frown. The driver shook his head and smiled. "It's your job to look after her" he said as he adjusted the mirror. When he saw Fang just casually sitting without a care, he slightly frowned. This man, seriously? "The road might get a little b.u.mpy, if the miss gets b.u.mped won't it be dangerous?"

Another sigh escaped from Fang as he glared at Shin. "You're talking too much today"

Shin didn't smile as he started the car's engine. "Just caring" he answered as he drove away. If it wasn't because his boss learned Wei Yan liked this two together, he won't talk much and would just mind his business.

Fang looked at the young lady who looked as red as a tomato and felt bad for her position. She looked so uncomfortable today that he frowned just by watching her. Shin who was observing cannot help but sigh. He wants to push this block of ice towards Xie Na right now. It felt slightly off since Xie Na has a boyfriend, but he had never really seen Fang a.s.sociate himself with a woman aside Xie Na as Wei Yan was obviously an exception, so he wanted this man to learn compa.s.sion.

When he saw a slightly b.u.mpy road, Shin smirked and looked behind. Fang was still staring at Xie Na and was obviously contemplating whether it's wise to follow his suggestion. Without hesitation nor warning, he took that path. The car bounced slighty up and down causing Xie Na to nearly collide with the car door.

Fang's eyes widened in horror. What the---

"d.a.m.n it" he said after he got Xie Na in his arms. His reflexes was agile enough to get her in his arms before anything could happen. Now she was wrapped in a blanket under his arms much like how Wei Yan looked in Li Zhao's embrace, only that they looked less loving.

He immediately glared at Shin after this. "Watch it!"

"My apologies. Is she okay?" he asked with a worried tone making Fang look at the woman in his arms once more. She looked so cute right now, and he felt embarra.s.sed for thinking about such description. The grip on his arms slightly tightened as the car shifted back to the cemented road. In his arms was a woman who fit perfectly in his embrace.

"The roads no longer b.u.mpy" Shin said all of a sudden causing Fang to look away. He slightly smiled at this as he coughed with Xie Na still in his arms.

"I don't trust you" he said and continued holding her. The man can only laugh internally at how things turned out. He never expected the cold Fang Tao that they knew would react like this and had this quality of being slightly cute under such circ.u.mstances.
