Secret Marriage : Wife Spoiling Husband

Chapter 367 - Apology

"Uncle Xunxun...." Su Yanyan called again.

Huh?

"Su Yan, let's go. Come with me. We will play tomorrow. Now, it's time to sleep." Long Xun said after getting his mind straight.

"Promise?"

"Promise." Long Xun nodded and offered his hand again.

This time, Su Yanyan took Long Xun's hand and they slowly walked back inside the house. "Good night Uncle Xunxun..." Su Yanyan smiled and she quickly entered her room.

Long Xun stood outside her room for a long time and after a while, he whispered, "Good night Su Yan."

In these few moments with Su Yan, he realized that the sad and dull feeling in his heart had dissipated away. There was no melancholy in his heart anymore. Being with Su Yan made his heart burdenless. Earlier, he was very troubled by that dream but now he didn't feel like that anymore. He knew what he had to do and how. He quickly walked back to his room and made a few calls.

The next morning, Long Xun woke up early and he quickly got ready. Today he had a lot do and that starts with apologizing to Uncle Qin first. Yesterday, because of Li Youbin's provocation he lost control and he hurt Uncle Qin which was wrong on his part and that's why the first time he needed to do was to apologize to Uncle Qin.

Just as he came downstairs, he saw Uncle Qin inside the kitchen talking with the chef. Seeing him, the chef politely greeted while Housekeeper Qin was surprised.

"Long Xun?"

"Uncle Qin come with me..." Long Xun said and Housekeeper Qin nodded.

He followed behind Long Xun while wondering what Long Xun wanted to do now. His cheek was still bruised because of Long Xun's madness a day before and even Li Youbin was in a very poor condition. "Long Xun are you alright?" he asked trying to probe Long Xun's state of mind.

"I am fine, Uncle Qin." Long Xun replied. They made their way into the hall and he sat down on the couch while Housekeeper Qin stood in front of him in a respectable manner.

Long Xun sighed. "Uncle Qin, I am sorry for what I did yesterday." he apologized honestly.

Housekeeper Qin wasn't startled by Long Xun's apology because he knew Long Xun very well. After yesterday's action, it was inevitable that Long Xun would come and apologize to him. Despite knowing this, Housekeeper Qin still made a shocked face at Long Xun.

"L-long Xun you don't have to apologize — "

"No, Uncle Qin. I have to apologize, " Long Xun interrupted. "I was wrong. I should have controlled my emotion. I am really sorry, Uncle Qin."

"It's really fine, Long Xun. I can understand what kind of state you were in, yesterday." Housekeeper Qin said.

"Thank you, Uncle Qin." Long Xun said and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, what are you going to do? Do you really believe in Li Youbin's words?" Housekeeper Qin probed.

Long Xun shrugged, "Maybe, maybe not. For now, I don't want to believe in anything." he answered.

"Okay. Just make sure to take care of yourself." Housekeeper Qin smiled but internally he was very worried. He knew what kind of impact those words might have made on Long Xun. His next step would depend on what Long Xun would do with this information but how to know Long Xun's next step, he wondered.

"Uncle Qin, call Layla and all of my men's here." Long Xun ordered.

Housekeeper Qin was puzzled but he did what was asked. A few minutes later, all of the servants and guards stood in front of Long Xun including Layla. They were also puzzled by this sudden call and at the same time, they were also afraid as they wondered why Long Xun had called them.

Long Xun looked at each of them without any expression on his face. He perceived their fear, anxiety, and unrest. Sneering Long Xun asked, "How long have you guys been working for me?"

Nobody answered. They looked at each other and then they looked down not meeting Long Xun's eyes for they knew that their Boss was angry.

"Look up!" Long Xun commanded.

Immediately everybody looked up. Everybody in their heart wondered what could have made their Boss this angry. They were busy speculating in their heart as they all looked at Long Xun.

"There is a special reward to the person who answers my next question." Long Xun smiled making everybody in the hall confused. "Tell me what kind of people do I hate the most in my team?" he asked.

Again nobody said anything. They looked at each other's faces wondering who was going to go forward and answer this question. They knew what kind of reward would be given to the person who answered these questions because when Long Xun mentioned the word 'rewards' then it means a great hellish punishment.

Seeing that nobody was going to answer him, Long Xun took this task himself and he chose a person to answer the question. Looking at everybody carefully, he chose a person who was assigned to guard the house yesterday night. "You say," he said pointing toward a person.

Being called out the person shivered in fear but he still stepped forward and gave a short answer. "Boss, you don't like useless and lazy people."

Hearing that Long Xun laughed, "Good. A perfect answer."

"When you all are well aware that I don't like any kind of lazy and useless people around me, then why were you all lazy in your works?" he asked angrily. "You guys don't love anymore?" he sneered.

Everybody shivered keeping their head down.

"You...." Long Xun said pointing towards another person in the line. "Why were you sleeping on your duty yesterday night?" he asked.

"B-boss... I-I.... that...." the person stammered in fear not knowing what to say.

"What?" Long Xun asked. "Have I trained you all so that you can be lazy and sleep on your duty? Do you guys like sleeping so much?" he inquired.
