Chapter 119 - THE POWER OF LOVE

"Can you dropped this your Young Master Yi's bullshit? Come on Ge'er, why on Earth are you treating me like a stranger? If you have a heart, you know you shouldn't be treating me in  such a cruel manner", Yi Lan said painfully.

"Sorry Young Master Yi but I've got to go right now, people are waiting for me here", Lie Ruge said trying every possible way to suppress her tears. She was suffocating right now which made her unable to breathe. She could not recall the last time she felt so terrible in her life. Even when her betrothed groom brutally left her for her cousin, she did not feel this hurt. The pain was so severe which made her grab the arm of her seat tightly as a result of the severity of the pain.

" Then you leave me with no other choice but to drive all your employees out of the building right this minute", Yi Lan said firmly. He was certain he could make her change her mind as long as he got to meet up with her face to face.

"Hold on first. You said you just had to see me and nothing else right? If that is the case then I can meet up with you right this minute but you have only ten minutes to say whatever you've got to say and you are not allow to exceed this ten minutes. So what do you say Young Master Yi?", Lie Ruge concur in an annoyed tone. Lie Ruge reluctantly agreed to meet up with him because she knew very well what Yi Lan was capable of doing. Although she doubted whether he would actually carry out his threats but it was better for her to agree to his terms rather than see him carry out his crazy threat.

" Sure, why not?" Yi Lan replied. Yi Lan only agreed to her ten minutes appointment because he did not want Lie Ruge to change her mind at the last minute.

"Then see you in a few minutes time", Lie Ruge said while disconnecting the line in the process. She neatly arranged the doc.u.ments she was working on the table, while heading out of her offfice. When she got to Xu Feng's desk she spoke, " Since you had the effrontery to disobeying  my order then you should also brace yourself for your punishment. I won't allow Mu Le or the rest of the boys to punish you since they might go easy on you so meet Firefly for your punishments, I bet she will be very happy to get her first VIP guest", Lie Ruge said sternly while stroding outside majestically. Xu Feng slumped back into his chair when he heard who was going to mete out the torture on him. Each and everyone working under Lie Ruge dreaded Firefly like the devil itself and Xu Feng was not an exception. Firefly was ruthless when it comes to torturing anyone regardless of how close they were to her. Xu Feng hated Firefly with passion because he could still recall what Firefly did to him when he just started working for Young Miss Lie. He still remembered how ruthless Firefly had tortured him after he failed his first mission when he started working there. He was so happy when Young Miss decided to put Firefly in charge of protecting Young Miss Xiao Bai. He could still recall  celebrating the day Young Miss Lie decided to  officially put Firefly in charge of protecting Young Miss Xiao Bai's safety instead of her directly working under Lie Ruge. Xu Feng knew that he was doomed this time around. Before Yi Lan could spell Jack, Lie Ruge was already seated in the front seat of his car. Immediately Lie Ruge closed the door of the car, Yi Lan took her by surprise by giving her a tight hug. He sniffed her scented body fragrance which did the magic of calming his nerves. Lie Ruge also sniffed her favourite rose body fragrance from his body although she did this in a pretentious way. She had worked herself to the core in order to drive away the thoughts of Yi Lan off her mind but it didn't help that much since she still ended up remembering all the things that had transpired between the two of them. She kept on recalling his bright smile, his cold and domineering aura, his handsome face and most importantly all their intimates moment which had showcased how they truly felt towards each other. 

"Thank you for coming downstairs to meet with me and I'm sorry I had to resort to threat earlier, I didn't mean any harm", Yi Lan said with his expression really portraying what he was saying. Lie Ruge was stunned beyond words by his sudden sweet apologies. For crying out loud, she was the one who wronged him big time so as a matter of fact she was the one who supposed to do the thanking and apologizing stuffs to him not the other way around. She was also amazed that the Almighty Young Master Yi had just apologzied to her? This was so unbelievable to her although she had witness this side of his a quite number of times, she can never get used to this side of his at all. She find his charms out of this world every time he chose to apologized when she was the one who wronged him. "This is what love really means, loving someone means not waiting for the offender to apologize but giving your all just so that your love can last forever because apparently there is nothing as the offender or victim when it comes to loving someone. I call this the power of love. True love humbles even the mightiest giant and I am very glad to be humbled by  this extraordinary force called love",Lie Ruge said in her mind. She was glad that Yi Lan was the man she has given her heart to although she did not know exactly where their love story will lead to but she was going to do all it takes to protect her love even though it meant giving her life in exchange for his, she was more than ready to do so willingly.

"How may I help you, Young Master Yi? As you know, your ten minutes has started counting since the moment I stepped my feet into your car", Lie Ruge said in a business-like tone.

"I bet you must be hungry right since you didn't go out for Lunch earlier, so let's go to a nearby restaurant to have our Lunch", Yi Lan said gently. Although he was hurt by the way Ge'er's was treating him, he didn't have the heart to get mad at her after seeing her for the first time in two weeks. It pained him so much to see that Ge'er's had lost a lot of weight just within the space of two weeks. 

"I don't have a lot of time on my plate to go about wasting my time just to fill my stomach, I have more important work waiting for me to do at the office so I think you should use your ten minutes wisely", Lie Ruge said sharply. She was trying every possible way to drive Yi Lan away but Yi Lan was so stubborn although her words were very offensive there was no sign on his expression to show that he was angry at her instead he maintained his usual calmness like nothing was wrong.

"I decide how to use my time and I don't think Young Miss Lie have got any issue on how exactly I should use my ten minutes. Even though you are not hungry, you should at least consider how I had to wait for at least 2 hours in my car before Xu Feng finally answered my call. If you don't feel hungry at the moment you can take the pleasure in staring at my handsome face while I eat, who knows you might suddenly develop the appetite to eat after saying how well I will enjoy my meal", Yi Lan said while zooming off out of Empire's premises at once.
