*BAM*

Xue Jinxu was so furious. The sound came from her hand which just hit the top of her desk.

"Xue Guangxi. I was out of the office just for a couple of days and what has happened already?!"

Standing in front of her was her little brother Xue Guangxi. There was also girl in front of her, standing beside Xue Guangxi.

It was ten in the morning. She was hoping that she could catch up on work without any disturbance. Her little brother knocked lightly that morning. He was excited and his grin was ear to ear. His half body appeared first, "Xu-jie, are you busy? I'm going to introduce someone to you."

Xue Jinxu received him. She closed her folders and laptop and gave him her utmost attention. After all, she had been gone for a couple of days.

However to her dismay, he was not the only one present. 'Ah right, he was going to introduce me to someone, I almost forgot.' She was having a bad premonition. Up next what she saw were two hands holding each other, and soon after a young girl entered the office as well. Her blood boiled over seeing their intertwined hands. She could already guess.

The atmosphere turned cold. Not only cold, it was freezing. Hell just froze over.

Xue Guangxi who was initially so happy was now frightened by his sister's reaction. But, he's there already, he could not stop halfway.

He said, "Xu-jie, she's Su Jingjing, my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend my foot you rascal!" Xue Jinxu exploded.

The girl who was timid and who kept her gaze on the floor started crying.

"Xu-jie, you're scaring her!"

She pinched the space between her brows.

"Hi Su Jingjing. Can you excuse my brother and me? We need to discuss privately."

It was her cue to leave. She tugged her hand free from Xue Guangxi's hold. She glanced up at him, took a slight bow towards the COO then left the room.

Xue Guangxi explained. "Xu-jie, it was not planned. I just fell in love with her right away!" Xue Guangxi was so distressed, he wanted his sister's acknowledgement so badly in all the things that he do.

"That's bullshit, I'm telling you." She propped her elbow in front of her and rested her head on her fingertips. "Why are you here in the first place?"

"Xu-jie… I know.. I'm here to be an apprentice, to learn everything about the business, so that I can take over and assume position as soon as possible." He recited.

"Good that you know! Now, what are you doing to achieve your goal? Hit on girls?" Xue Jinxu was even worse than an erupting volcano.

"Xu-jie, I told you it was unintentional. And she's… she's the first one I hit on…"

"And you're proud of that?"

Guangxi could not fight back. He was also in tears. He could only bite his lower lip. He continued to shed tears silently.

"For heaven's sake. I just left for a few days. Okay, explain everything. When did it start, how did you meet? Speak!"

"I went to the Zhihua Temple after we discussed about the recent incidents. I saw her first there. I just had a glimpse of her disappearing figure several times. It caught my attention. Then I found out that she's also an intern here. She's assigned at the Marketing department. We simply had good chemistry, Xu-jie. We agree on many things."

"And that's it?" Xue Jinxu could not believe her ears.

"I couldn't explain it sister. It was an attraction beyond words."

"Have you already done background check on her?"

"Xu-jie!"

"I would take that as a no. What family is she from? Is she related to the Imperial's Su Family?"

Xue Guangxi got even more distressed.

"Okay that's enough. Let's drop the subject for now."

"Report your progress. What have you been doing while I was gone?"

"I had been staying at the Accounting department and observing their processes. I had also been asking the people around about their procedure. They were accommodating. After work, Teacher Chen and I reviewed my observations in the workplace and had tackled Taxation."

"Okay, continue with your learning. One more thing. Who knew about your relationship with that girl?

"Xu-jie, she has a name. She's Su Jingjing. Well, Teacher Chen and Senior Wenbin knew about it. Well, not really, no. They did not know Jingjing. I was asking them about their opinion as guys but that's all."

"Have you been flaunting your relationship in the office?"

"No, we're trying to control it. It might not be 100% foolproof though."

She closed her eyes and sighed. She approached her brother. He flinched. She hugged him anyway and rubbed his head gently. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you, brother. You're making me age too fast. Don't let our parents know about this."

She gave him a peck on top of his head. "I'm sorry I was harsh earlier. Could you be even gentler in breaking the news? I nearly had a heart attack!"

Guangxi was whimpering. "You were scary too earlier."

When Guangxi left the COO's office, Xue Jinxu could not continue doing her work. Her nerves had not calmed down completely. She gave Butler Lee a call.

"Butler Lee. Please have a background check on a girl named Su Jingjing. She's currently an intern in Xue Shipping in the Marketing Department. Start from there. Report to me soonest."

"This is noted, Big Miss."

She had forgotten that Xue Guangxi was a growing child. And now he had reached this tender age of youth – the age to start trying out new things and experience beautiful and harrowing things for the first time. It's this tender age that a child was slowly introduced to the world, to slowly take the world on their own.

She sent a WeChat message to Chen Linyun: "Can we talk? It's about Xue Guangxi."

She received his response. "Sure. See you at home."

"No. Not at home. Mo Wenbin will be there at home too. Let's just meet at a restaurant. Don't tell Wenbin or Guangxi."

"Okay."
