'Irritating.' Scoffing in her head, Ying Yue was annoyed by the situation and held in a barrage of comments. He was the one who asked her to come here after HE dropped something of importance in HER house. To bring it on such a short notice honestly made her a saint but to think that on first sight what she would see is him angry. She was not expecting him to welcome her or be overly happy but the least she could expect was him being cordial. To add on, the anger was directed at her! If he had been mad about work or another issue that is acceptable but she had not trudged here just to put up this behaviour. Yes, he had only glared at her so far but if he chose to say anything to her in the wrong tone she would set him straight! They were both children of violence, any sign of aggression is taken seriously, personal connections are no exception.

For one, if he was merely angry and looking at her she would pay it much mind. However, right now he looked like a raging bull as he aggressively strided towards her. Tilting her chin a bit higher she glared at him with anger in her eyes and kept her stance firm. In a few quick strides he had reached her, waiting for him to say something she had kept herself alert. To her further surprise, instead of saying anything he just fiercly glared at her and the Director next to her before grabbing her arm. Tugging Ying Yue towards him, she was thrown into his arms.

"Hey, what are you doing. Let me go!" Struggling in his arms she tried to get out of his embrace but he tightened his arms to stop her movements. 'What is he doing?! Does he not realize that we're still in the lobby?! In front of his secretaries and the Director?!'

"No and thank you Director Wei for bringing her here. You are excused." Ying Yue internally flinched from his cold tone. She was used to his softer tone when he spoke to her and had heard him speak coldly before when on the phone. However, this time his voice sounded like a caged animal. It was cold but you could tell he was bursting with anger. Feeling him turn to go to his office, he released his arms around her and gripped her hand in his before heading towards the oak door. Following his lead she stumbled and quickly tried to match his pace while hobbling. It was a bit tedious to maintain it once she had gotten to him but the amount of eyes on her from his spectacle was ridiculous.

"Xi Long! Stop walking so fast, can't you see that she's injured!" Hearing Director Wei's shout, Xi Long stopped in his steps. Turning around he glanced at her and scanned her for injuries. There were no apparent injuries on the surface but she was standing with her weight on one side. Letting go of her hand, he decisively lifted her up into his arms in a princess hold and continued in the direction of the office ignoring the stares. Several gasps were heard behind them as they entered the office, the large oak doors blocking the remaining sounds.

As soon as the doors closed, he put her down on the couch on the side. Lifting up her injured leg he flexed it from side to side to check the injury. Holding in restrained fury, he opened his mouth "how did you get injured? You were fine this morning." He wanted to ask her much more but his injury caught him off guard. A pang of guilt hit him as he realized that he had got caught up in his emotions and pulled her a couple of steps. If Zhuang Wei did not let him know she was injured he would probably have continued without knowing.

Annoyed at the entire show he just put on, she turned her head away from him and refused to look or answer at him. 'Hmph, thinks he can act like this, have mood swings and I'm supposed to just talk to him normally after? Absolutely not.'

Not hearing an answer, he looked up at her and saw her pouting. "Sigh, Kitten why are you mad at me, can you let me know where you are injured."

"You don't know why I'm mad?! Why don't you tell me why you were mad first?! Glaring at me like an agitated bull!" 'Well there goes my silence....'

"Angry...I'm not angry." Trying to play off his emotions he shifted his eyes away from her.

"Okay so you glaring at me with anger, speaking in a cold tone, and manhandling me is not you being angry?! Then what is it, you being happy?!"

"Well...okay...I was a bit angry but its your fault." Refusing to take all the blame he glared at back. So what if he was angry?!

"How is it my fault?!"

"Its your fault for being so close to him. Why were you leaning on him and holding his hand! And telling him you like him! What part of him do you like better?!" Xi Long had been working hard in the morning to clear up time for when Ying Yue came over. He had been waiting for her to call but hadn't received anything before he heard her voice in the hallway. He was in a meeting room at the time and opened the door to go out and greet her but as soon as he did he heard her saying she liked him! Even if it was irrational he immediately felt jealousy and anger rage through him. She was even holding his hand and stepped closer to him once she saw him come over. How was he not supposed to misunderstand?!

"For that you got so mad! All I said was that I like him as a friend! Such a big reaction for something so small. How do you run a company when you get angry so easily!"

Inching closer to her he held her hand in his and placed her palm against his face. "Kitten I think you forget, you are mine. Let alone something this small I never want to hear you say that you like another man in general."

"You're being so unreasonable right now."

Letting out a dark chuckle, he closed the extra gap between their faces before whispering against her lips "Kitten don't test me I can be even more unreasonable...."
