Chapter 167: Are you jealous?

" Look at who we have here, it's Ge'er. Come on Ge'er why didn't you tell me that you were going to show up today? You made me exhaust my brain cells to come up with awesome ideas that would convince the press, I almost had a heart attack a moment ago", Xiao Bai said holding her chest.

" You almost but you didn't, right? Aren't you happy that I came just in time to save the day?", Lie Ruge asked playfully as she pulled Xiao Bai along with her.

" Of course, I am so happy that you showed up. I couldn't be happier when I saw the look of shock on Lie Feitian's face. It looked as if he was about to collapse there when you showed up, I would have loved to see the look on your aunts face too, maybe they would have died of heart attack if they were the one who saw you earlier hahaha....", Xiao Bai laughed heartily not minding that everyone was staring at them.

" I would have loved to see their expression too but unfortunately they were not here but don't worry, I have prepared a gift for every one of them, I will personally be the one to deliver it to them when it is the right time and I bet you will have a lot of fun then ", Lie Ruge said smiling devilishly.

" Yeah, I trust my Ge'er on that one. Hey Ge'er why isn't Yi Lan with you? He is not the type to leave you alone on your own so where is he?", Xiao Bai asked curiously, she started screening through the area with her sharp eyes for any trace of Yi Lan, but she could not spot him near that vicinity.

" He was with me, but he decided to wait for me at the parking lot. So sorry best friend, I will have to let you handle things at the office today but I promise you won't have to resume work here starting from tomorrow since I will come back to the company", Lie Ruge said as she tried to look happy when she mentioned resuming work the next day. Xiao Bai noticed the sadness in her friends face although the sadness appeared on her face and disappeared immediately but it did not escape Xiao Bai's notice.

" Why are you sad when you mentioned resuming work tomorrow? Is it because you are going to miss having Yi Lan around you? Ge'er if that is what is making you unhappy you don't have to, the Yi Lan we all know will not leave you all by yourself. He will visit you both at home and your office until you get mad at him for visiting you too much and you can also drop by at his office whenever you miss him, Ok?  Cheer up or all your employees might know that their almighty Boss is actually lovesick", Xiao Bai said trying to cheer her up and her words perform the magic since Lie Ruge eventually laughed at her silly jokes. They kept on laughing and chatting until Lie Ruge felt that someone was following them. She deliberately pulled Xiao Bai to the glass wall to peep through the glass to see who was tailing them, and she saw it, it was one of the reporters who was following them and also taking pictures of them.

" Hey pretty lady, one of the reporters is tailing us so let's split up. I will meet up with Lanlan at the parking lot and take this way back to your office. He is after me so you don't have to worry about him following you. You don't have to worry about me too because although I am injured, my hands and legs are not injured, so I can take care of one nosy reporter all on my own Ok? You can drop by at the Mansion after work Ok?", Lie Ruge said as she hugged Xiao Bai before she took the right-side pathway while Xiao Bai took the left side. Like Lie Ruge had predicted the reporter foolishly followed her. When she was almost at the parking lot, she hid behind the wall for the reporter to pass by, but she was surprised when the reporter did not pass by for the past two minutes. She wanted to walk to the parking lot since it felt like the reporter was not following her anymore, but she changed her mind when she heard footsteps approaching the wall. She quickly threw a punch when she saw that the person was almost close to her hiding place but the person dodged her punch. She was surprised when she saw that the person, she wanted to punch at was Yi Lan.

" How come it's you? I thought you were supposed to be inside the car but what were you doing inside the company with all this disguises on?', Lie Ruge asked curiously before she retracted her right hand.

" I was following behind you when I saw a reporter tailing you, so I just took care of him a minute ago. He will wake up in three hours, I think I hit him too hard a moment ago. And the reason I am dressed like this is that I felt so uneasy sending you in there alone, so I decided to follow you after you had walked into the company", Yi Lan said as he wrapped his right hand around her waist. They quickly walked to the parking lot as they kept on talking.

" I think I must have been too preoccupied that is why I did not notice your presence there", Lie Ruge said as Yi Lan opened the door of the car for her to enter. Yi Lan enters the driver seat and sat down beside Lie Ruge.

" Yeah, you were so preoccupied dealing with Lie Feitian when the male reporters were busy feasting their lustful eyes on you", Yi Lan said acting slightly jealous.

" Don't tell me you are jealous right now", Lie Ruge said playfully while turning his face to her direction.

" Jealous? Of course not", Yi Lan denied immediately.

" But it looks like you are very jealous. Wow! This is new, I never knew that my hubby was the jealous type", Lie Ruge said as she tickled him playfully.

" I'm not jealous, I'm the almighty Young Master Yi, so why should I be jealous ", Yi Lan said defensively.

" Really? Does that mean that you won't mind if I were to kiss another man?", Lie Ruge asked trying to see his reaction.

" What? Any man who dares to covet my woman will die a painful death. I will skin any man who dares to kiss my woman alive", Yi Lan replied fiercely.

" That shows that you were jealous", Lie Ruge said caressing his face.

" Ok, yes I was slightly jealous when they couldn't take their eyes off you back there", Yi Lan finally admitted.

" You didn't have to deny it earlier, I would have felt jealous too if a lady was drooling over you in such manner. Nobody will see another woman/man trying to snatch his/her lover away from her, and she will just keeps quiet and watch the person do that to him/her. The person will fight till his/her last drop of blood in order to retain hheris/ lover back", Lie Ruge said as she rested her head on his right shoulder.

" Don't smile so charmingly at any other man like that again except me Ok", Yi Lan said as he started responding to her touches.

" I only laughed the first time because I felt so annoyed by thereporter's question and the second time I laughed was because I thought their question was silly. How could they ask me what was the secret of my beauty when everyone knows the answer. I am this extraordinarily beautiful because I take after both my mum and dad's awesome gene. The truth is I never found anything special about my beauty since I have always been complimented about my beauty from childhood but I felt so special and important whenever I hear such compliments from you because I care about how you see me and what you think about me. Thank you for making me feel so special hubby", Lie Ruge said as she teased his chest with her right fingers.

"I'm the one who supposed to thank you for making me the happiest man on earth for being mine. Every day, I spent with you is special and I cannot imagine a future without you by my side so don't ever leave me for another alright?", Yi Lan said as he hugged her tightly.

" Don't worry I will stick to you like glue until you get tired of me. I will love you forever so you don't have to worry about leaving you for another man", Lie Ruge said lovingly. 

" That will never happen, I will never get tired of loving you; that is a promise. You saying that you will love me forever, is that a promise?", Yi Lan asked inquisitively.

" Yeah it is a promise from me", Lie Ruge said reassuringly. Yi Lan was so happy with the way their relationship was progressing. What was on his mind right now was how he would officially propose to her, and he wanted his proposal to be an outstanding one.

" Lanlan let's get going, the reporters might come out any moment from now and it will be a hassle if they find the two of us together", Lie Ruge said after noticing a reporter coming out from the company. Yi Lan immediately zoomed off afterward. After that day they only met up either during lunch break or after work. Nobody in Lie Ruge's office who did not know that their Boss was in a relationship because Yi Lan made it a point of duty to drop by at her office almost every day except days Lie Ruge did the visiting. She always made out time to visit him at his office too. Life was not easy for Lie Feitian including Changle, and Mrs Lie was not left out too. With the news of Lie Feitian attempting to declare his only niece dead coupled with the fact that he was demoted from his position being published for the whole world to see, everyone gossiped about him both in the office and outside the office. Lie Changle suffered a huge blow too due to the news because her major roles in some movies were given to someone else and this ignited her hatred for Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai. She blamed the two of them for what she and her family were going through. Days turn into weeks and it was finally two weeks to Lie Ruge's birthday. All the top world designers made sure to send all their best designer clothes and other accessories to her Mansion in preparation for her upcoming birthday although they were not sure whether she was going to celebrate her birthday that year or not
