Shi Yu looked into her eyes deeply. The way she was asked, made him wonder about what she was referring to? He was hiding many things from everyone in this world.

But for many reasons, he felt a soft corner for this student of his and he wanted to just go and tell her everything at one go. But his hands were locked. 

He had no right to tell her and many things will automatically change if those things will come out. 'Anyway, Shi Yu, she is just a teenager. Don't go and do something stupid for someone you just.. met.' He tried to convince himself.

Ye Nian was eyeing him with her eyes constantly as her eyes were simply glued to his face. Searching for her answer, she got to see no expressions of his. That was how he is. Simply, emotionless and giving her no clue to read him.

"Shi Yu, I asked you something. Are you hiding something from me?" She once again asked him, repeating her question.

"Ye Nian, we are just students and teachers. Nothing else. Yes, I do share some good relationships with your father but nothing else.. so, even if I'm hiding something, it shouldn't affect you."

He made sure to clear his point but Ye Nian felt that he was being odd. Till now, one thing was very much clear, that he had a soft corner for her.

From the very beginning, he tried to maintain the distance between them but somehow, they ended up being close and something else. But from now on, he wants to stay away from her for real. Otherwise, his secrets might be revealed.

But Ye Nain wasn't satisfied with his reply. She knew that he was angry with her for some reason, but what?! Can't he simply reply to her?

'Why the hell is he overreacting over everything?!' she really wanted to know. But it was difficult for her to digest that he was acting cold and indifferent towards her all of the sudden.

"Shi Yu, you are acting very complicatedly. Please, don't beat around the bush. I'm a person who likes to talk directly and especially, about the main topic. If you can't, then just don't talk to me." Ye Nian replied to him back with her pleading face.

The pout was visible on her face and Shi Yu really wanted to laugh but controlled himself.

"Ye Nian, this isn't the place to talk. Understand it. We are more like family friends and that is why I helped you in your studies as well." Shi Yu talked about what Ye Nian was trying to make him say.

But Ye Nian isn't agreeing with whatever he was saying. From her point of view, he was simply saying it all because he had no ulterior motive. But before she could open her mouth, Shi Yu once again opened his mouth to revolt.

"Ye Nian, I Have to do many things now. You should go and celebrate your victory with other friends of ours. And also, congratulations." saying this, he left Ye Nian behind and walked off the canteen while Ye Nian had this complicated look on her face. She wanted to talk more about many things.

But he didn't give her any chance to do so. 'Why is behaving in such a way? Can't he simply understand what I'm trying to say?' her mind was a mess but he somehow, let it go and returned to her home.

Today, it was a day of celebration that she cried well. But not anymore, her mood was already disturbed now because of whatever that happened. She has no more interest in being involved in anything more.

…

In his cabin, Gu Yan dialed Su Xi Number as he wanted to share Ye Nian's marks with her as well. After all, no matter what, no one can change the fact that she is the mother of his children and now his partner also.

The ring went to the other side, as he heard her voice, "Su Xi? You are free?"

"Yeah. tell me. What happened?" he can hear some noises behind her but anyway, he ignored it and told her about Ye Nian's marks and other things too.

"So, our daughter has scored the third position in her exam. I think we should do something. After all, this was the last year of hers in school and she scored so good." In his mind, Ye Nian's hard work was something really appreciated, and wanted to give her, even more, a boost so that she would be confident in the future as well.

"Hmm, sure! I shall remind you that Ye Nian's birthday is coming this week. She Will be turning eighteen on the weekend." As a mother, how can she forget that she gave birth on that day?

Her daughter's birthday was always celebrated in a low-key manner. Ye Nian always wanted that her family should be there for her on a special day so that she could be happy.

"Well, that's more good. we should do any celebration for her in any manner. Maybe throwing any party?" As a new father, Gu Yan had no idea about his daughter's taste in this.

"Umm.. no. We all shall clear your schedule on that day and meet somewhere formation, we all shall go somewhere and celebrate the birthday. It would be more good that way. Ye Nian has no interest in lavish parties or being in a high figh."

"Well, done. I shall ask my secretary to clear my schedule on that day."

"Hm sure. Gu Yan, I have some work to do. We will talk and discuss it some other time." saying this, Su Xi hanged up as she stared at the file in front of her.

No one can determine what was going inside her mind because, from her heart, she wanted everything to be over first and then unite with Gu Yan as the family.

But there were many things that were unsolved from her side. Her mother's death mystery is something lingering over her head and first of all, that is connected to whatever happened a few years back as well!

"But who is that person? Why is trying to separate me and Gu Yan? Does he have any ulterior related to mom?" As far as she heard, the sound from the other side is young enough.

Her guess can't be right that her mom's brother is avenging her death because that's impossible! They all must be old enough to be called grandpa!

As Su Xi Took a deep breath, she called Secretary Wan into her room to discuss many things.

"Yes ma'am?" he was confused to find her a little stressed. As far as he knew, everything was done related to the project that was coming in the next week.

"Secretary Wan, can you tell me more about the Quan family?" Secretary Wan looked at Su Xi with no motion in his eyes as he heard that name, 

There were many things he had hidden as well, but the Quan family is something... That is unpredictable ever in their lives!

"Ma'am, why do you wish to know about the Quan family?" This was the first time that made Su Xi wonder why isn't just revealing what she is asking?

He never questions her back but he did this time, especially related to the Quan family. 'Stop Su Xi! He is your secretary. You can't doubts his actions and his intentions!' she reminded herself.

"I want to know about them because of some personal reasons. Please tell me now. I only wish to know more about the business and a little bit about their personal lives."

"But you do know who they are? The top name in the business and the most prominent one. Knowing about them is still fine but you're asking me to tell you about them in more detail? Ma'am, you are aware of how dangerous they are?" can't help but ask concernedly

Sighing, Su Xi can only rely on a lazy tone, "I do know about everything but I was to know more about them. Just ask your sources to investigate the few matters I'm asking you to. Especially about the eldest master of the Quan family. He is the most prominent one and still alive, right?"

Secretary Wan did not reply. He simply looked at Su Xi as if she was doing an idiotic thing this time and this won't be in favor at all. But Su Xi failed to understand why he is not following orders?

Giving suggestions is absolutely fine but at last, it is her decision to decide what she wishes I do, right?

"Secretary Want You okay?" Su Xi once again asked.

"I'm sorry ma'am. But this time, I can't help you with the Quan family. I Have some personal reasons as well so please understand my position. I'm really sorry."
