After Wang Lei left from the hotel with Mr. Ying and Yu Yan, they went back to the company, just an hour after lunch.

The moment they arrived in the company, Wang Lei was satisfied to see that his employees are doing well even during his absence.

With that in mind, he sighed in relief as he was glad that nothing seems to be of immediate concern.

Wang Lei then turned to Mr. Ying. With a smile on his face, he patted his shoulder for a job well done, complimenting their family's personal servant.

"Thank you so much for investigating and for making this possible," he thanked Mr. Ying, the middle-aged secretary, blinking his eyes a few times for Wang Lei rarely thanks him.

"Oh! You're welcome, Mr. Wang Lei. Just doing my job."

With a nod, Mr. Ying further told him what he needed to do next, the secretary listening to his boss attentively.

"I want you to further investigate the safety of Miss Yu Yan's house," he whispered, as the three of them walked back to his office. "I wouldn't want to bring her and her family back to their house, knowing that it is targeted today."

"Of course," Mr. Ying answered, nodding once as well. "I shall see to it that I will do my best in checking for their safety."

Yu Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy. However, Wang Lei is indeed right—they need to know if the house is now safe before Yu Yan can let her family go back.

The moment they arrived in the office, this then gave Yu Yan the opportunity to speak, now not hesitating to say her thoughts aloud.

"M-Mr. Wang Lei, please don't burden yourself any longer. I will be looking for a temporary place to stay with my family. I—"

"It's alright, Yu Yan," Wang Lei interrupted, putting both of his hands on his waist as he added to what he said. "You will be living in a spare house that I own for the meantime. I do not trust my judgments of you guys staying elsewhere other than my place which is guarded."

Hearing this, Yu Yan widened her eyes, not believing what she has heard. She looked at Mr. Ying and then Wang Lei back and forth, her mouth open as she isn't sure now of what to say.

Seeing this, Mr. Ying gave her a small sigh and then sighed, further explaining his boss' side.

"Like Mr. Wang Lei had said, you don't have to worry about anything, Miss Yu Yan," Mr. Ying started, "I agree with him. Even though Qing Yuan is already being questioned by the police now as we speak, there are still outside possibilities."

Yu Yan furrowed her brows and asked, "Possibilities?"

"En," Wang Lei nodded, "Qing Yuan may be in the police station, but we have to be careful. Even though you and your family are staying outside of your house temporarily, places that are too common to stay in could be possible to look. Qing Yuan knows he has nothing to lose—he can still harm you."

Yu Yan bit her bottom lip, her brows still knitted together. She then shook her head, shyly looking straight into her boss' eyes.

"B-but… you already helped me this much. I can't keep taking advantage of this situation anymore, Mr. Wang Lei," Yu Yan mumbled, enough for them to hear.

Without saying a word for the meantime, Wang Lei turned to look at Mr. Ying. With a nod, it had already signaled him to do his next responsibilities, Mr. Ying, already excusing himself before he left the office, leaving them alone together.

With a sigh, Wang Lei now looked at his secretary.

"Yu Yan, you're not taking advantage of this. It is my concern to look after you since you are my employee and that this is something that I can't tolerate."

Yu Yan's lips turned into a tight line. With her eyes still shyly looking at Wang Lei, a playful smirk appeared on her boss' face, making him tuck a tendril of her hair behind her ear. Yu Yan's body stiffened, not used to this gesture.

"What happened to my cool and icy secretary? Don't tell me that my helping you has melted your cold heart?"

Hearing this, Yu Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. With a light smile now appearing on her face, she thanked Wang Lei instead, knowing that she has no choice to accept to his terms right now since he is also an adamant boss.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang Lei. We will temporarily stay in your place, then. Until I can earn for a place to stay with me and my family," Yu Yan said, Wang Lei, nodding in agreement.

"Don't worry, I may need to ask help from your mother, too," Wang Lei started, making Yu Yan cock her head to the side.

"Oh? With what?"

"Housekeeping," Wang Lei said, a shy smile appearing on his face. "You see, the place where you and your family are going to stay temporarily is my escape house. When I feel overwhelmed and stressed, I go there and I don't allow other people other than myself to be there."

"Oh…" Yu Yan nodded slowly, now getting what he means. "So you mean to say, even housekeeping is not done?"

"Yes," Wang Lei said, now scratching the back of his head. "But since I trust you and your family and you need safety, I'm willing to let you guys stay temporarily. Don't worry—no pressure, I would still pay and—"

"Mr. Wang Lei, you're too kind," Yu Yan interrupted, "You're already paying me well in the company and letting us stay free in your place for our safety until things are settled. No more payments—it's alright. This is more than we deserve."

Not knowing what to say any longer since Wang Lei is sometimes socially awkward with other people especially to ladies since he rarely treats them well after he fancies them, Yu Yan is a different case.

She is his employee, his company's secretary that needed help. He has never been this kind to anyone before—only now that he did such great efforts for a woman whom he's just curious of.
