Chapter 695 Back is broken

Zhao Ya’Er had just walked out of her new penthouse to meet her mother and aunt. She by chance heard Xu Long’s voice and pause in her steps as the man sounded angry.

She knew it was him because she had met him and another man in Jade Condos’ parking lot. They chatted for a bit and that was how she learned that her cousin had given the penthouse to Xu Long.

She was excited knowing that the man of her dreams was going to be her new neighbor.

"Miss Zhao?"

Xu Long’s worried question of her name brought Zhao Ya’Er back to her senses. She focuses her eyes back on him but there was no smile on her face.

Normally, a person would be screaming inside out of pure joy. However, she stood in the empty hallway and could only stare with a blank expression. She didn’t even know what to think or how to greet him.

The door to Xu Long’s penthouse was wide open and she could see inside the living room. The only thing was the man she met last night was standing shirtless and was slowly putting his clothes on. That wasn’t all, she could see faint marks on the man.

Whether they were bruises or kiss marks, she could not tell.

She looks away from the man then back to Xu Long. Her throat bob as she swallows and her mind froze with one question.

Could it be that Xu Long and this man are in ’that’ kind of relationship?

She remembers the man was there at the lake and judging from their relationship at the time, the two men were pretty close.

Her mind draws out a scene of Xu Long and Lin Hui together all night and her expression turns into one of horror. However, she quickly steadies herself and forces a chuckle.

"Don’t worry, Assistant Xu. Your secret is safe with me. I won’t tell anyone about this. Not even my cousin."

She doesn’t wait for a response and strides away in an almost jog towards the elevators. Now that she knows Xu Long swings that way, she can only cry.

Xu Long watcher her disappear inside the elevator. He was confused and didn’t understand the meaning of her words. Not only that, why did she make such a sad expression?

He glances back inside the living room and sees Lin Hui slowly getting dresses.

As Lu Tian’s assistant for many years, he was quick to put the pieces together. He gasps in pure horror and pokes his head out of the door.

"Miss Zhao! It’s not what you think!"

He calls out after her, but the elevator doors were already closing. He looks back at Lin Hui and wanted to dig a hole to hide. Zhao Ya’Er didn’t even give him time to explain the situation.

His head turns to look at the elevator again and his shoulders tremble as he sobs with small tears.

"I’m not gay... wuuu... I like women... wuuu... So does Lin Hui..."

"So does Lin Hui, what?"

From behind, Lin Hui ask when he heard his name. He had just finished dressing and was now putting on his shoes.

After a long second, he looks up at Xu Long who wasn’t answering him.

Seeing how the assistant is distracted, he straightens up and takes a few steps out the front door to the hallway. He looks left, then right. Not seeing anything, he looks up and down.

However, not seeing anything, he looks back at Xu Long with a frown.

"Bro, what’s wrong with you?"

Xu Long returned to his senses and his wide eyes glare with vicious daggers at Lin Hui. However, thinking back to what Zhao Ya’Er must have thought, he pulls the daggers back and sobs even more.

"Brokeback..."

He spoke his word clearly, but Lin Hui furrow his brows. He glances at the assistant from head to toe then back to the head.

"Brokeback? If your back is broken, go see a doctor."

His shoulders shrug without any care and he strides in the direction of the elevator.

From behind him, Xu Long was even more dumbfounded. He stares with heavy eyelids then closes the door and follows after with faint sobs.

"Maybe I should go see a doctor..."

He mumbles incoherently to himself but thought about something. Instead of seeing a doctor, he needs to find a way to clear this misunderstanding with the beautiful, Zhao Ya’Er.

Thinking this plan, he sends another glare at Lin Hui who was walking ahead of him. However, instead of daggers shooting out from his eyes, he made sure he was shooting out laser beams and at full power mode.

"You darn rascal. I’ll make sure that you help me clear up this misunderstanding or I’m going to beat you to a pulp."

"Achoo—"

Just as the elevator door opens in arrival, Lin Hui sneezed as he was about to take a step forward. He pauses and frowns in question if someone was cursing him behind his back.

He rubs the tip of his nose and turns around to see why Xu Long was taking so long. However, when he saw the murderous and grave look on the man, his frown deepens with confusion.

"Dude, what’s with your expression? Why are you looking at me like I killed your family?"

Xu Long snorts and rolled his eyes. He stares with raging eyes at Lin Hui. Even when he entered the elevator, he never moved his gaze away.

"Hmmf. It’s not my family you killed, but my dignity as a man."

"..."

Lin Hui slowly enters the elevator and he was as cautious as to when he was facing an enemy. He didn’t understand why Xu Long looked like he (Xu Long) wanted to strangle him to death.

What did he do?

All he did was wake up late because he had drunk so much last night. Plus, he already said he was going to help the assistant move.

Was it really necessary for the assistant to be this angry with him?
