Chapter 3

Sera felt nervous on her first day, she wore a chiffon sky blue dress that flows on her knees and pulled her hair in a loose ponytail. She was sitting on Jinyi's side on the car and she keeps fidgeting on the hem of her dress.

"Nervous?"

Sera nods her head and she felt ashamed. She had already worked for a company but she didn't feel nervous like this before. Must it be because she was working on the topmost promising company in country A? That must be it.

"Husband. I felt suddenly hungry."

"Wait until we reached the office, I'll have someone bring us food."

"Oh. Not good. I'm not hungry, just felt like it because I'm nervous." she said with a blush.

After reaching the office, Jin Jinyi personally introduces her as his assistant. All of his employees were all dumbfounded. Their big boss who despises assistants suddenly brought someone. They found it a little off because the woman was like a teenager, a fresh graduate? Who is she anyway?

Sera found the way they look at her very overwhelming and scary and she only sighed with relief when they finally reach the top floor.

"That was scary."

"Are they scarier than me?" Jinyi looks at his wife's odd expression and brushes a strand away from her face.

"You are scarier, but... Do you think they will like me?"

"Why are you bothering with such thoughts? If they like or don't like you then so be it. You'll just have to focus on your work with me, all will be fine."

"Not good. Hubby, I mean boss Jin, this is a company. Work doesn't only revolves around you. I have to work with them in the future and gain their trust."

"You can just fire them if they don't like you."

"Is that how you deal with them?"

Jinyi shrug his shoulder and sat in his seat. "I fire them if they don't meet my needs. I am very professional, don't you think so, wife?"

"Yes, very." she rolled her eyes and went to her table. A very pleasant smile curves her lips as she checks and turned on her personal computer.   She played on the pen in her hand and tap the three phones on her table.

Jin Jinyi watches Sera on his peripheral view as he answered a call from one of his business colleagues. A knock on the door was heard and he saw her walk on the door to open it.

Sera greeted the woman outside with a smile. This was the same woman that helps her found the Ceo office. Jun Mei flash her a warm smile and congratulated her, Sera giggled and cheerfully hug her. Jun Mei stood slightly higher than her and she found her very cute and hug her back. She felt like her daughter.

"Oh, by the way, have this place in the CEO table. These were the previous files from his others businesses. You can check it before passing to him."

"Okay. Thank you, Big sister, Mei," she replied and went back to her table and put the folders on it. She sat and closely read the details on the folder. One by one she checked it and pointed some errors before moving it to Jinyi's table.

"Done already?" Jinyi asks when he saw her put the folders on his table. A small smile showed as he looks at his wife's small tired face. She ultimately gone bored and sleepy by reading these files.

"Boss Jin, I'm hungry." Sera pout and went back to her table. Jinyi laughs and calls for food before opening one folder. His eyes suddenly widened, not only did the girl read the details, but she also pointed out errors with hundred percent accuracy. Was this girl a genius?

"Sera, come here."

Sera raised her head and nod before walking to him.

"Is there a problem? Did I make any mistakes? Or did my calculation gone wrong? That's weird, I calculated it over three-time, I'm sure it is not wrong."

"Relax, It's not wrong. I just want to clarify things with my wife."

"Oh, what is it then?"

"What was your former job?"

"I work as an analyst before, but I did more like designing webs, planning, and checking financial status. Why?"

Jinyi nods his head, no wonder she was very accurate in pointing errors in this financial statement. He picks a treasure this time. No wonder she was so hungry and tired all of the sudden.

"You must be very tired, why don't you rest in the room, for now, I'll wake you if the food is here."

"Not tired, just hungry. This type of job drains my stomach so I get hungry after. It's very natural." she said with a smile and pick a book from his table and read it.

While she was reading, her phone rang and she answered it. She was in a very good mood but when she heard the voice from the line her mood sank and her face darkened.

Jin Jinyi notices the changes in Sera's expression and he stops what he is doing and looks at her with confused eyes.

"Did he not tell you? I saw him with another woman."

"It's because of you. You were getting married yet refuse to give yourself to him. Dong ze is a man and he has his needs and you neglected it. Now come back home and make it up to him."

"No."

"Don't you want to marry him anymore? You are just mad at him. If you don't come home, you will regret it. Sera, stop being so stubborn and come home, right now."

Sera's hand trembled and her eyes become misty. She bit her lips until they bleed.

"What's wrong with me preserving my chastity until I get married? Was it not his mistake for indulging his lust when he knows he is getting married?  Dad, is this how you treat your daughter?"

"If you don't come back now, you are no daughter of mine." the line was cut after those words. Sera smiled bitterly, she looks at Jinyi helplessly and sighed.

Jinyi frowned and went to console his wife but then the door opened and the receptionist entered carrying a box of food.

Sera's mood elated upon seeing the food. Hiding the bitterness on her smiling face she received the food and thank the woman before putting it on the spare table near the pantry. Waving her hand to Jinyi, she mused him to come and eat with her.

Jinyi swallowed the words of consolement and went to her.

"Eat slowly, no need to rush."

"Un. Hubby thank you. Only you are so good to me."

"You are my wife, Of course, I will be good to you," he said. Sera smiled, warmth enveloped her ice-cold ice. She had a good fortune meeting a man like Jin Jinyi.

"That's why I'm grateful. By the way, Jinyi, I will go to Yun Mansion later to get my things, I will come back shortly after."

"You want me to drive you?"

"No need, no need. I will just hail a taxi." sera declined his offer. She doesn't want him to see what kind of family she has and she doesn't want him to see what kind of standing she had on the Yun Household.

Yun family is one of the prestigious families in country A and They originally came from country C but when they settled in country A, they immediately form a strong name in the business world. Yun Sera's father, Yun Lifeng was known for his intellect and his talent in business management. He was a genius.

Upon reaching the Yun Mansion, Sera's eyes became dull. She reached the door and was about to open it but it was flung open before she could even touch it. She was so scared witless and she felt disoriented. She could hardly tell what was the situation not until when a hard slap hit her silly and she fell to the ground.

"You shameless bitch, you now know how to come home?" her father's angry voice echoed on her ears and she trembled in fear. This was why she doesn't want to come back. Biting her lips, she forces the tears back into her eyes and stood up.

"I just came to get my things. I will never come back again after this," she said in a cold voice.

"You what? And how do you plan to live your life? You cancel the engagement with Dong's family and resigned from your job. I won't give you your inheritance unless you make it up with Dong ze."

"I will never marry Dong Ze. If you want, you can just let your other daughter marry him," she added and went upstairs. Inside her room, she packs her important things and left.

Yun Lifeng was fuming and her stepmother was standing beside him with the same mocking face.

"So this is how you treat your family that feeds you?" Cha Ning asks in sarcasm.

Sera ignore her and continue to walk straight to the door.

"Walk past that door and you no longer have the right to bear the name Yun." Yun Lifeng shouted angrily. Sera shivered at his threat but didn't stop. Walking straight on the door with heavy steps, she swears to herself that she will no longer step back into this mansion.

"Yun Sera come back here." Yun Lifeng shout, this time he was agitated at how this stubborn daughter of his was trying to ignore him like he doesn't exist. With two large steps, he immediately near his distance towards his daughter and forcefully grab her hair and pulls it slamming her to the wall in the process.

Sera didn't expect the attack and only felt the pain searing on her head. Her body shook with pain and her eyes became blurry. Feeling dizzy, she tried to get up but her knees buckled weakly.

"You ungrateful bitch, you're better off dead than bring this family misfortune. I should have killed you before if I had known that you would become a bitch like this today." Yun Lifeng gritted his teeth as he moved to slap Sera again but this time a large hand caught him and he was forcefully pushed to the side.

With a heavy and uneasy feeling, Jin Jinyi told one of his men to follow Sera in the shadows. He was having a bad feeling about Sera's odd behavior, thus he came up with this solution. Who would have thought that his suspicion will soon prove him right? When his man first reported about how her father slaps her even before she could enter the Yun Family's door, he was so enraged that he has almost flown with his car.

Upon reaching the Yun Family residence, his mind almost gone black when he saw the sight of Sera being slammed on the wall. Her little body shook as she grabs her now bloody head. He swiftly runs to them and grabs the hand that was about to slap her again pushing it away.

"You, who are you?" Yun Lifeng was so mad that he didn't recognize the man in front of him.

Jin Jinyi kneeled towards Sera and check on her wounds. The blood keeps on flowing and he can't tell how large the wound on her head is.

"Jin, what are you doing here?" she asks, maintaining her consciousness as her breath becomes thick and labored. For the first time in her life, she felt pitiful and ashamed. In front of this man, she had shown him the worst of her.

"We're going home, okay," he said in a gentle voice as he scoops her easily and embraced her carefully.

"Just who the hell are you and where are you taking my daughter?"

"Expect a lawsuit by tomorrow." with that he leaves the Yun Mansion leaving everyone with wide eyes and shock.
