Xu Feng did not dare voice out what was in his mind because it wouldn't just end with his death but total annihilation of his entire family.
" Yes, Young Master, you are so kind", Xu Feng said meekly before Yi Lan cut the call on him.
" Oh! That was a close one", Xu Feng heaved a sigh of relieve and his mind became a little relaxed after hearing from the horse's mouth that his life was spared. He was so happy that he even celebrated his victory over death with his friend after working hours. The next day he resumed work with a smile on his face but the smile on face disappeared when he saw the pile of work that was waiting for him. He knew that his Boss did not assign someone else to do his work while he was on his sick leave because she wanted to make life a living hell for him. Xu Feng entered his Boss office after being ushered to come in with his head down in depression.
" Xu Feng, I can see you made a good decision for once since you started working with me by deciding to call off your sick leave early. I was worried that you might have to spend sleepless nights in the office for two long weeks in order for you to be able to complete your work which has piled up if you had waited for your sick leave to be over before you resume work but luckily for you, you decided to show up today. If you are fast enough, I think you might have to sleepover in the office for three days before you will complete your work, isn't that awesome?", Lie Ruge asked with an evil smile on her face. Xu Feng did not know whether to cry or laugh after hearing her words, he knew for sure that his Boss was cornering him due to the last incident.
"It's awesome indeed. Boss thank you so much for what you did for me, I heard from Young Master Yi that you pleaded on my behalf. I don't know how to repay you for your kindness, I am only alive today because of you", Xu Feng said appreciatively.
" Really? But how come I don't remember pleading on your behalf? Oh, I guess Lanlan must have said that in order not to make you feel bad. I only told him that you don't normally remember things whenever you are in shock. I told him that your brain normally malfunction whenever you are in shock that you will not remember a single thing after a week or is what I said a lie?", Lie Ruge asked sternly when she saw Xu Feng displeased expression. Xu Feng knew that Lie Ruge was waiting for him to make the slightest mistake so that she would use that opportunity to punish him more, but he will not give her that pleasure.
" Of course you are very correct Boss, I will excuse myself now if you don't have anything to assign to me", Xu Feng said with a fake smile on his face as he slowly turns around. Xu Feng who thought Lie Ruge might tell him to go home for the night after seeing how hard-working he was got totally disappointed when Lie Ruge made sure he did not leave the office and just like she had said Xu Feng did not go home for three days, he worked like a horse for that three days. He was so relieved when those three days of torture finally passed. Since the day Lie Feitian and his cohorts were killed, Lie Ruge and the rest did not meet up physically, so they did not have any idea about the tragic end of both Lie Changle and her parents. To make up for not visiting her best friend for two weeks Xiao Bai decided to pay her a surprise visit. Xu Feng was so happy when he saw Xiao Bai, he knew for a fact that Lie Ruge will not try to find faults with him throughout that day.
" Wow! Look at who we have here, world's busiest supermodel. I almost forgot how you looked like", Lie Ruge said sarcastically immediately Xiao Bai stepped into her office.
" Same goes to you, I almost mistook my best friend for someone else. How could you not even visit me for once in the past two weeks", Xiao Bai said displeased as she sat down in one of the couches while placing her legs on the centre table. Lie Ruge dropped everything she was doing and came to join her.
" Really? Shouldn't you have been the one to visit me since your schedules were not tight? I heard that you were happily ditching your shoots to go on countless dates with your boyfriend. I even saw you and Yun Yi's several pictures which are trending on the internet. I saw that you and Yun Yi's relationship is the new hottest topic on the internet as of now", Lie Ruge said teasingly.
" Ge'er, who told you that I went out on countless dates with Yun Yi? Why am I even asking, I bet it must be Xu Feng", Xiao Bai said grinding her teeth in anger.
" But it wasn't Xu Feng that reported you to me, it was Firefly? She said she is having a headache always trying to track down your whereabouts since you always sneaked out without taking her along with you", Lie Ruge said smiling.
" Oh! So it was Firefly that actually told on me, I never thought she was the type to do so. Anyways let's leave that issue aside so how are you and Yi Lan doing? Is there any good news yet?", Xiao Bai asked excitedly.
" We are fine and what good news are you talking about?", Lie Ruge asked curiously.
" I mean, are we expecting some cute little buns any time soon?", Xiao Bai asked eagerly as she touched Lie Ruge's flat tummy.
" What nonsense are you saying? Of course not, and do you think that it will show in my tummy right now if I was pregnant? It takes time before my tummy starts protruding so stop touching my tummy", Lie Ruge said playfully.
" Really? I was so overly excited thinking that I will be a godmother soon not knowing that it isn't as easy as I had thought. Ge'er, I also want to carry Yun Yi's little buns too. We have done it several times now and I'm so eager to get pregnant with his children", Xiao Bai said as her eyes lit up in excitement.
" What? Isn't that too soon? You guys barely got together, and he has already had sex with you so many times. Oh! I guess, it is not a bad thing after all?", Lie Ruge quickly corrected herself when she saw the engagement ring on Xiao Bai's fingers.
" BaiBai, I can't believe you got engaged without even telling me? When did he propose to you? I can't believe Yun Yi who adores me so much dared to get engaged to my darling without informing me", Lie Ruge said making an angry face.
" Ge'er, don't be mad at us, we didn't throw an engagement party because we wanted to keep it a secret from the public especially my fans. It was just me and Yun Yi when he proposed and Oh yes, he vehemently refused to lay a hands-on me until he proposed to me so don't get mad at him because of that Ok", Xiao Bai said as she made a very adorable look at Lie Ruge which made her burst out laughing.
" You still haven't changed BaiBai, you are still as naughty and mischievous as always. I'm not mad at you, I'm just so happy and surprised that my darling is now engaged. Have you met his parents yet?", Lie Ruge asked curiously.
" Yes, I met them two days ago after Yun Yi proposed to me", Xiao Bai replied, her expression a little sad.
" What happened? You don't seem very happy? Did they treat you badly? Or did they make a big deal because you are a model? I will beat some senses into Yun Yi and his parent, if they had done or say anything bad to you, so just tell me what they did and I will not fail to avenge you", Lie Ruge said provoked as she tried to console her best friend.
" Hahaha... of course they didn't have any choice but to fall under my superior charms. Who on earth can resist this pretty girl's charms? Of course, no one, if I can make you laugh and smile then no one would not like me if they get to know me well. His father was not pleased with the fact that I was a model, but he fell under my charms when he learned that I was not only a model but also a successful businesswoman. That is why I want to personally thank you best friend, thank you so much darling for advising me to invest my money in so many businesses three years ago, it really helped me out this time around. And Ge'er, you should have seen how happy Yun Yi's mum was when Yun Yi introduced me as his future wife. She treated me so well, and she said that I should visit her whenever I am free. I am so happy to have such wonderful mother and father-in-law", Xiao Bai said happily.
" You don't have to thank me; you were the one who made the right choice in opening so many fashion lines and companies. You deserved all the happiness you are getting now and yeah it is amazing to have a mother and father-in-law who love you so dearly and who are not over-demanding. I'm so glad that they were not mean to you", Lie Ruge said smiling brightly.
" I know that you wouldn't hesitate to teach the Yun's a lesson if they had dared to maltreat me because Ge'er treats BaiBai the best", Xiao Bai said as she gave Lie Ruge a bright smile.
" Yes, you are right about that, so when are we going for the double date? Shouldn't we the ladies plan on what to wear?", Lie Ruge asked.
" Is tomorrow cool with you guys? We might have a lot to drink that is why Yun Yi and I did not want to schedule the date on working days so do you think that you guys will be free by 10:00 pm?", Xiao Bai asked anticipatingly.
" Yes, we will", Lie Ruge replied.
" That is great and yeah I have a great idea on what we should wear. Come closer let me tell you", Xiao Bai said elatedly as she drew closer to Lie Ruge. She started whispering into Lie Ruge's ears giggling in the middle of talking. After talking discretely for three minutes, Lie Ruge smiled satisfactorily at her.
" I love your idea and that is what we will do. Don't worry I will make sure Yi Lan does not ruin our plan", Lie Ruge said smiling devilishly.
