Where's Huangjin?

"Okay team, great job." Ying Yue smiled, and the room erupted into cheers and several congratulatory remarks. She had divided the technical department into several teams, each of which were assigned particular field spies to assist. The mission they were assisting tonight was quite a difficult one, and their spy had a narrow escape.

She glanced at her watch. It was almost midnight. Fei Huangjin said he'd be out with his friends, so Guan Ting was driving her home tonight.

She turned to Xi Shenghui, who was scanning through a file in the corner with a serious look on his face. "Shenghui, you can handle the next one, right?" They'd agreed that he would cover any missions from midnight onwards so she could get some rest. Now that she was running Juyan, Ying Yue didn't know how Big Boss handled all of the missions personally. Did that guy even sleep when he was alive?

"Mmm." Xi Shenghui held a thumb up.

Come to think of it, she wasn't even sure Xi Shenghui slept more than four hours in a day.

When Ying Yue finally packed up and dragged her body to the lobby where Guan Ting was waiting for her, it was only then that she realized how tired she was.

"Where's Huangjin right now?" She glanced at Guan Ting's imposing figure on the driver's seat. She was going to let the topic go when he didn't answer, but curiously, she noticed him adjust his clothes uneasily, as if he was trying to act like he didn't hear her question. "Guan Ting, where's Huangjin?" She repeated.

He turned his head towards her, face blank and expressionless. "Young Master Fei is out with young master Xiao and young master Zhang."

No sh*t, sherlock. She already knew that much.

The car started to move. What was Guan Ting trying to hide? Her hands tingled, and she had a bad feeling about something.

Sensing that he wasn't going to tell her anything else, Ying Yue rummaged her bag and took out the tablet provided by the Juyan tech team. Before Mo Yiling's death, he had perfected the Juyan satellite system that could track anyone across the globe just by inputting their phone number or their photo. And Ying Yue had that technology on her fingers.

"Well, if no one's going to tell me where my husband is, as the Director of Juyan, I'll just have to take matters into my own hands…" She trailed off; and with a few taps and a swipe of her finger, the satellite system started searching for Fei Huangjin.

Guan Ting's hands on the steering wheel tightened.

"Hmmm…" Ying Yue smirked. "Guan Ting," she called out after a minute.

He gulped. "Yes, young madame?"

"Go to VX. I want to see my husband." She turned off her tablet and threw it carelessly into her bag with more than the necessary force, the act of which made Guan Ting cringe.

"As you wish, young madame."

He didn't have anything to worry about, right? His master may be at VX, but that man wouldn't touch another woman even if his life depended on it.

That better be so. Because if not, then the wife gets mad. And when the wife gets mad, the master gets frustrated. And when the master gets frustrated, he, Guan Ting, gets punished for no apparent reason. Life was so unfair.

***

Fei Huangjin silently hissed in displeasure at the sight of the woman beside him but decided to ignore her by turning to Zhang Zihan. They started discussing business again. He was simply being a gentleman by not showing his apparent disgust on the girl.

She took his lack of enthusiasm as a challenge, and she gently nudged his arm with her ample breasts. Men loved it when she did that. And the young master of the Fei family was still a man, after all. He went on with his chat with the young master of the Zhao family, not even sparing her a glance or a bit of attention. Did he not notice the soft press of her bossom? Or was he just playing hard to get?

She was one of the prettiest "companions" in VX, so she didn't believe she couldn't get Fei Huangjin's attention.

Her eyes traveled over to his left hand. Ha! He wasn't even wearing a wedding band on his ring finger. Married men who came out to play always took off their bands when coming to VX.

Feeling a bit bolder at the moment, she snaked her hands around his arm and pressed herself even closer to him.

Fei Huangjin froze.

The girl smiled like a fox that caught her prey.

"Don't touch me." His voice sent an uneasy chill across the air, making the hairs on her arms stand on end.

Her smile faded, and she casually withdrew her hands -- but not her chest.
