I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband-Chapter 523 - Interesting news

As expected, Yu Chen, the devil didn't even budge. He didn't say a word. He just sat there, flipping doc.u.ments like he had put up an invisible and impenetrable shield around him. He was as cold and reserved as ever.

Zaki couldn't believe that his relentless and amazingly engaging talk didn't even make him blink. This guy was definitely worse than Sei five years ago. If Sei is a hardwood, this guy is a petrified wood – much tougher and as hard as stone.

"Ugh!! This block of ice is so boring!" Zaki slapped his own head. He had been circling Yu Chen's desk for a long while now, annoying him, making him talk but was being completely ignored. He even put his arm around his shoulder and poked his cheek gently but that didn't work either.

In the end, Zaki gave up. Yu Chen truly was the toughest nut to crack in the world. His poker face was just something else!

Frustrated because of his unacceptable failure, Zaki changed his target.

He tortured Yu Chen's men instead and asked them about Yu Chen's first love. However, it appeared that only Juu and Kyuu knew her. None of his men ever heard of the girl who broke Yu Chen's heart. They didn't even know that there exists a girl who could not only touch – but break – their devil boss' heart.

"R-r-really? Our boss has a first love?!!" the one named Gu Wei yelled in surprise. The guy was obviously somewhat scared of Zaki but his gossiping stomach seemed to be winning.

Unfortunately, Zaki was unhappy with his fruitless quest so he didn't even answer Gu Wei's question and walked off like an unmotivated and downhearted puppy towards the couch, plopped on it and video called his wife.

Once his spirit brightened, Zaki fell asleep like a child taking his afternoon nap.

…

It was already dark, but Yu Chen was still in his office.

"Hey hey! Enough with the work and let's go home! Don't you miss your house huh? Yu Chen?" Zaki burst and as he continued bugging him.

Zaki already flipped almost everything inside Yu Chen's office over because of boredom since he woke up. He was truly a nuisance.

Yu Chen was planning to pull an all-nighter but because of the presence of a certain annoying creature, his pen finally touched the table.

"Fine. Zhuo Yuan, take him with you and go first. We'll follow suit after fifteen minutes." Yu Chen ordered, and his men immediately nodded.

"Wait, wait, wait… why are you sending me away? Huh? Could it be that you're planning to go somewhere?" Zaki was quick to complain. But Yu Chen ignored him and just gestured his men to move.

"Please follow me." Zhuo Yuan told Zaki. Yu Chen's men were really hella obedient. Nobody even hesitates to follow his orders. They were also amazingly alert and serious.

Seeing their tensed faces, Zaki could only surrender. He was sorry that these men had a boring boss like this not-so-little petrified wood.

"Fine… geez… you guys are behaving like some shady thugs. Sigh… no fun at all." He waved his hand lazily as if he too was done before he headed towards the door on his own.

Gu Wei and the others immediately followed him and once they were gone, the cold, poker-faced man loosened up his tie before he moved towards the floor to ceiling window. His deep, lifeless eyes stared down at the countless beautiful neon lights spread over the darkness below him. He remained standing there until ten minutes was up.

"Let's go," he then said, and everyone stood.

Once they reached the garage, Yu Chen received a call that Zaki tricked Zhuo Yuan and the other guards and was currently not under their guard.

Yu Chen's expression didn't change but he gripped his phone tighter the moment he heard that Zaki was not with them. He knew that even ten of him could never hope to restrain Zaki, but Yu Chen thought that the man would behave now that he was somewhat in a bad shape. And yet, he actually ditched his guards?

Yu Chen's dark and cold aura was about to burst forth when suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear.

"Yo! Haha. Those guards of yours are tough to ditch eh. Not bad. I actually had a hard time." Zaki was right there, leaning his chin lazily on top of his car as he grinned and waved at him.

But no one replied Zaki. Everyone was speechless. How the hell did this Zaki even manage to ditch Zhuo Yuan?! All the guards knew that Zhuo Yuan was one of Yu Chen's best bodyguards, it definitely bordered on impossible to do whatever he did, especially when there were four men with him.

"Sigh… why are all of you so serious?! C'mon guys, smile for once. Just cause your boss is a poker-faced wooden antique, it doesn't mean that you guys would become as boring as him as well! Geez… I feel like I'm going to grow ten years older just by being with all of you!" Zaki ranted, but then, Yu Chen simply walked towards the car and entered like he didn't hear a thing at all.

Zaki also quickly followed and sat right next to him.

"I have interesting news for you, Yu Chen." Zaki grinned as he whispered in his ear but Yu Chen uninterested. "Heh, this is about your first love, you know?" he teased. Last night, Zaki actually asked Juu about the girl and the man honestly told him more about her. Juu also told him that the girl's name was Luo Xiaolei.

When Zaki heard that name, he immediately remembered the young and genius assistant of the chairman of Luo Corporation. Zaki didn't know her personally but he remembered the girl from before, when chairman Luo visited their Sei's office to propose a project. He heard Gu Jinyang talking about her and even mentioning her name, so he was certain about it.

Zaki, of course, thought they might just have the same name but while he was waiting for Yu Chen, Zaki decided to check on Luo Xiaolei's background. He even asked Sei to check if the Luo Xiaolei of Luo Corporation had lived in Snowflakes village where Yu Chen hid when he was young.

Sei sent Zaki a message while he was being escorted by Yu Chen's men. It appeared the Luo Xiaolei of Luo Corporation was the same Luo Xiaolei that broke Yu Chen's heart.

"Yu Chen, I heard she's in this city right now. She just came back from abroad. Why don't we go visit her?" Zaki told him and finally, the not-so-petrified block of wood reacted.
