" Sure you can have it", Lie Ruge said without thinking twice about her reply.
" What? Are you sure you want me to have that particular car?", Xiao Bai asked doubtfully.
" It's all yours now. You can take it from the parking lot whenever you want", Lie Ruge said.
" You are the best", Xiao Bai said cheerfully giving Lie Ruge a tight hug. Xiao Bai was so happy, she could not hide her excitement.
" Young Miss Xiao, we have arrived", the driver said after he finished parking the car. Tan Fan and Yun Yi's car arrived just after they stepped out of the car. Tan Fan excitedly ran out of the car after his driver parked the car. He finally heaved a sigh of relief after coming back from hell.
" Wow! This is amazing. Your Mansion looks so magnificent and beautiful", Yun Yi exclaimed in amazement.
" Stop exaggerating, you have seen more amazing Mansion than mine so stop flattering me", Lie Ruge said as she walked a few steps forward.
" I'm not flattering you, although it is true that I have seen many beautiful Mansions before but yours is unique and special. The architectural designs are out of this world just like how your beauty is also out of this universe", Yun Yi said cheerfully.
" Yeah sister-in-law, it is not a flattery it is the truth. I also think that your Mansion is so beautiful. If the outside is this beautiful, I can't imagine how awesome the interior decoration will be like", Tan Fan said increasing his pace.
" That is so true guys, although I have been to Ge'er's Mansion numerous I sometimes marvel at the beauty of this Mansion. Funny enough, I always fall in love with her Mansion over and over again every time I drop by", Xiao Bai said smiling delightfully.
" Thanks for the compliments guys but I think part of the compliments should also be accorded to Xiao Bai too because she also contributed immensely to the current look of this Mansion", Lie Ruge said holding onto Yi Lan's right hand while resting her head on his shoulder.
" Well done Xiao Bai, I never knew that you were specialized in exterior and interior decorations. I will make sure to seek you and sister-in-law's advice whenever I want to build another Mansion for myself", Yun Yi complimented her while walking a little closer to her.
" Sure, you can count on me on that. I will make sure your Mansion stands out just like Yi Lan and Ge'er's Mansion", Xiao Bai said tapping Yun Yi's right shoulder in a funny manner which made Tan Fan laughed out loud. The way she tapped Yun Yi's shoulder looked as if she was Yun Yi's teacher. Entering the Mansion fully, they were all warmly welcomed by her servants who lined up inside the sitting room to welcome back their Boss. They were so happy to see their Boss again after about a month's plus of her absence. Yun Yi opened his mouth in awe when he stepped his feet into Lie Ruge's Mansion. Everything he laid his eyes on fascinated him. He couldn't help walking around a bit to feed his eyes on all the paintings that were hanging on the wall. He spontaneously stopped in his track when he saw the picture of Lie Ruge's mum which was hanging on the wall.
" Wow! She looks so beautiful and gorgeous", Yun Yi exclaimed in amazement. After taking a look at the picture, he took a look at Lie Ruge to compare their resemblance before focusing his gaze on the picture again. Tan Fan walked towards him to see what caught Yun Yi's eyes, and he was bewitched too when he saw how beautiful Lie Ruge's mother was.
" She looks so charming. So this is the famous Madam Lie? She looks so different from all the pictures I have seen. You sure takes after her in times of beauty", Tan Fan said while stretching out his right hand to have a feel at the picture.
" Ge'er's mum is so pretty. You sure take after her but your beauty surpasses hers. I bet you look prettier than her due to the fact that Chairman Lie was also very handsome. Your mum's remarkable gene combine with your dad's amazing one gave birth to something extraordinary", Yun Yi said his eyes shining brightly.
" Hey guys, stop getting smitten by her beauty because she is already taken and be very careful with it so you don't damage it", Yi Lan said sternly almost ruining the guys' mood.
" I bet the pictures of her you saw were not the original ones because Uncle Lie had all her pictures taken down from every site after her death. This is how she really looks like and Ge'er has so many of her pictures including the pictures of when Madam Lie was much younger", Xiao Bai said smiling.
" You guys can have a tour around the house. Xiao Bai can be your tour guide because I will be going to my room right now", Lie Ruge said as she leaned onto Yi Lan's hand.
" Ok, have some rest. I will have the maid call you after the dinning table is set", Xiao Bai said beckoning her to go to her room. When they got to the front of the staircase, Yi Lan took another look at how long the staircase was before focusing his stares on her again.
" The stairs is quite long so let me carry you instead because I won't allow you take the stairs in this your delicate condition", Yi Lan said attempting to carry her but Lie Ruge stopped him.
" You want to carry me to climb these stairs? Do you want to ruin your health? Although I am a little slim but don't underestimate my weight, I am quite heavy and you don't have to worry, I have being climbing this staircase to and fro for the past two years now, so I am quite used to it already", Lie Ruge said unwrapping his hands from her body.
" You are as light as feather, the last time I carried you it felt as if I wasn't carrying anything at all and it doesn't matter whether you are used to climbing the staircase or not all that matters is that I will not allow you to take the stairs in your condition. I hope you won't argue with me on this", Yi Lan said trying to carry her once again.
" Who says I am as light as a feather? Do you know that my punch weighs five times more than ordinary people's punch then combine it with my entire body weight then you will know that you shouldn't get fooled by my figure. And I care about your health as much as you care about mine, so I won't let you carry me. We can use the elevator instead Ok?", Lie Ruge said unwrapping his hand from her body once again.
" Why did you insist on taking the stairs when you have an elevator?", Yi Lan asked staring at her a little confused.
" I am so used to taking the stairs that I sometimes forget the fact that my Mansion has an elevator. The elevators were installed in case of emergency and I rarely use it. I didn't see the need for me to use the elevator when I know that I can take the stairs that is why I didn't tell you", Lie Ruge quickly explained herself while leading the way to where the elevator was. They entered the elevator and within a minute the elevator stopped at the third floor. It wasn't difficult for Yi Lan to guess which of the rooms was Lie Ruge's room since they were only two rooms on that floor. When Yi Lan entered her room, he saw another world entirely. The walls of her house were decorated with quality and matured designs. Her pictures and that of Xiao Bai were hanging on every corner of the wall. After assisting her to the couch he walked close to the pictures that were hanging on the walls in order to have a clearer view of the pictures. The pictures were superb, they were some Yi Lan had a hard time taking his eyes off them. He got to a point where he spontaneously stopped in his track. Three pictures hanging on the same line got his attention. The first one was the picture of a woman and a little princess sitting down by her side. Yi Lan guessed that there might have taken the pictures on her birthday because she was dressed like a princess that she was back then. The bright smile on their faces touches his heart. They looked so happy in the picture.
" Wow! You look like a princess in fairy-tales in this picture but now our little princess is now a queen. Ge'er your face looks familiar here, I think I have seen this picture somewhere before but I can't really recall where I saw it", Yi Lan said trying to recall something.
"The picture was taken on my 8th birthday, since my dad has always called me a princess I chose to dress like a princess on that day. It was a big party so maybe your mum and dad might have attended the party since the two families are friends or who knows maybe you also attended the party too", Lie Ruge said crossing her legs.
" I guess so but what about this picture? You look stunning here with your gun in your hands. When was it captured?", Yi Lan asked with eyes filled with admiration. In the picture she looked like a badass lady with her stern and piercing gaze with the Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistol in her hands, she was wearing an all black jacket with her long hair tied into a ponytail.
" That particular picture was taken after the completion of my last mission in the academy and the one below it was taken on our graduation day. Our academy has never allowed any pictures to be taken in the academy in the whole year of its establishment but my Master gave it to me as a parting gift. It was to remind me of my origin so that I will not forget the pain I had to go through in the academy just to achieve what I wanted. He was the Dean of the academy and surprising I became his favorite students after he saw how persistent I was while training under him. The pictures tell my story", Lie Ruge said smiling. She had a lot of good memories in the academy but majority of them were terrible ones that is why she hated remembering the academy for some reason.
" Ge'er, do you know that it was after the incident last time that I got to know that I don't really know much about you. I realized that apart from all the normal information everyone knows about, I don't really know much about you. So while we are staying together for the time being will you tell me more about yourself. They are questions I have always wanted to ask you. Questions like, where were you for fours after your high school education? Where did you learn your martial arts from? And you keep talking about some academy. Where is this academy and what do they do and most importantly when did you fall in love with me?", Yi Lan said as he sat down beside her.
