"Lian Chuan, I...I only touched her hand by accident..."
Lin Li hastily explained.
Liu Zheng stepped forward, clutching Lin Li's chin, "By accident? Lin Li, do you think I am blind? I saw everything. You did it on purpose!"
Lin Li guiltily avoided his gaze, hanging her head low, "Lian Chuan, I know I was wrong."
Liu Zheng flung her head away, "Get out!"
Ye Yunxi watched as Lin Li was shoved out, her brows furrowing in disapproval. That Liu Zheng, he really is quick to defend his own!
Liu Zheng glanced at Ye Yunxi, "President Ye, I apologize for my late arrival."
Ye Yunxi offered a faint smile, "It's alright."
The two sat on the sofa sipping tea when Ye Yunxi inquired, "Lian Chuan, when did you return to the country?"
"Last night."
"Oh," Ye Yunxi nodded, then hesitantly asked, "You weren't hurt yesterday, were you?"
Liu Zheng shook his head, "No."
Ye Yunxi looked at Liu Zheng, "How are things with your boss... with him?"
