Chapter 140 - 139: Secretary-I

"-I thought that I should ask you in a romantic scene. How was it?" Wang Li Lei drifted, to the Hydrangea Flowers that he domineering ordered his men to plant in a count of three days. What happened behind the scene should not be known to the girl as it was futile.

Xiao Yun glanced away as she was unable to keep staring back at his eyes after the steamy kiss. "It was very beautiful, thank you... I don't think anyone knows that you were such a romantic person."

Wang Li Lei saw the girl's voice that grew weaker at the end as he ascended the stairs. "Of course anyone wouldn't know that. " he replied. 

Xiao Yun blinked back at him with a crocked note. "What do you mean?" 

"I wouldn't do such a thing for anyone other than you. So, of course, no one other than you wouldn't know that." 

Making a special case only for the girl, the shyness that was still for a second overwhelmed her once again.

"The Hydrangeas Flowers, how do you know that it is my favorite flowers?" She had wondered the answer to this question from the beginning of her entrance to the garden. It was without an answer that the garden was proposedly made for her after his confirmation. 

"You told me when we were children." He swept his eyes to Xiao Yun, making her wonder why Wang Li Lei's expression seemed as though he was holding a question back.  

Xiao Yun had a question to let out but noticed that he had passed the room that they usually used and her room to another room that was right beside her room. 

"Where are you-... we going?" She shooked her head to fixed her third word before gulping gingerly. 

Wang Li Lei pulled the corner of his lips and returned another question to the dumbstruck rabbit. "Where do you think I'm going?"

Xiao Yun glanced away unsure, as she passed her room and the study room, the only room that was left was Wang Li Lei's room and thus her mind came to a single conclusion. "Y-... Your room?" She could feel her ears boiling hot from her own query. 

Hearing no answer, Xiao Yun braced herself and gazed at Wang Li Lei who was still smiling before propelling her body on one hand and another to push the doorknob. 

"Li Lei!" Xiao Yun raised her hand and buried her face on Wang Li Lei's chest in nervousness and heard him asking in a tuned hum. "Hm?"

"I- I... I'm still underage..." Xiao Yun replied looking down in embarrassment that she said it out loud. 

Wang Li Lei raised an eyebrow and began with a chuckle. "You have turned 18 Xiao Yun."

Xiao Yun glanced up to hear the door clicked. The rush that attacked her head turn her mouth into a bubble. "W- We have not married yet... Li Lei, you should protect your chastity more... I don't want to take advantage of you..."

Wang Li Lei successfully entered the room and turned his eyes away to the bed which was covered in blue cover. His steps grew lighter and 

Xiao Yun who had been muttering PI number snapped her eyes on the bed which soon became her place to lay on to heard him seducing her before her face. "I don't see the need to protect my chastity before marrying- " 

Xiao Yun caught him trailing from his words as he pushed forward his hand on top of her head to bring his face closer. "Especially when it's you in front of my eyes."

In the position her face was placed in, Xiao Yun was unable to look away at nothing other than his face. Her pupils dilated and shook from the afterthoughts of what would follow after she had laid down on the bed. 

"What would be your answer?" Wang Li Lei spoke with the least intention of moving away from his position. 

"Answer?" Xiao Yun asked before replying with another extra quiz. "Do you mean announcing the engagement or living with you?"

Wang Li Lei saw her lips quivering from each question but still fixed her eyes on him and found it adorable. "Both." He said. 

Xiao Yun gulped as he saw his eyes continuing on inching closer. "H- Have you asked my p- parents...?"

Wang Li Lei nodded. "Of course. I wouldn't ask you if I haven't got their permission." He glanced down over her lips again and Xiao Yun who noticed this felt as though the man felt very impatient to her words. 

"I will!" Turning her chin away from his face, she could only hope to find a hole for her to hide in. 

"Good." Xiao Yun stared back at his face and felt his lips kissing her forehead once again. 

A part of her heart was relieved to such an expression from his face, however, she became nervous once again as she remembered that Wang Li Lei was still pinning her on the bed. 

Wang Li Lei noticed her giddiness and retract his hand from hers before sitting next to her on the bed. With a worried expression, he swept Xiao Yun's dark eye bags and petted her temple. "You haven't been sleeping well, did you?"

Xiao Yun fiddled her fingers and closed one of her eyes that were being caressed by Wang Li Lei. "I have been a bit busy."

"You should take care of yourself and do not overwork yourself. Resting is also a part of your need." He leaned his head on his left arm in a lying position next to her. Seeing the girl's eyes still wondering down, unable to look up from the giddiness, Wang Li Lei continued. 

"You should sleep now. I will be by your side until you wake up." Although she still felt awkward to be told to sleep in his room after such a scene, Xiao Yun replied meekly with a faint 'Mn.' and closed her eyes to count sheep. 

Hours ticked and rounded to midnight, Xiao Yun slept peacefully beside the presence of Wang Li Lei and before she knew it, she had fallen to her wonderland. 

Jang Hyun and the rest of the servants went back after witnessing their master's witty move to ask the young lady out. If Xiao Yun knew that they had been witnessing the scene behind the garden from the beginning, she would have lost all her face.

As Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan were ordered to stay at the servant's quarter, Jang Hyun continued his work to patrol the whole residence when he saw his master's room which was opened. 

Wondering which maid in charge who dimwittedly forgot to close the master's room, he found Wang Li Lei sitting beside the young lady to stare at the beautiful piece while caressing her cheek. 

He remembered the time when he made a blunder and interrupted the master's time with the young lady which resulted in him being punished by Wang Li  Lei in his own way. As he decided to step out of the room and left the door open, Wang Li Lei had noticed his presence and halt him. "Hyun."

Jang Hyun straightened his back to curse himself for being unable to avoid the master's keen sense. Wang Li Lei pulled the blanket over Xiao Yun and walked toward his poor secretary before closing the door. 

"Grandmother and grandfather, have they sent a word about their future party?" 

Jang Hyun nodded to his master's words and further comply. "They had sent a word to come back next week. Should I prepare their room at the residence now, young master?" 

Wang Li Lei crossed his arm and replied with a nod on his head. "Yes. However, next week I wouldn't be in the house, tell the servants to take care of their needs carefully."

Hearing his words, Jang Hyun finally remembered that Wang Li Lei would be going to a different city next week for his business. He was about to excuse himself from the man as he was afraid that he was intruding the master's taming time but saw Wang Li Lei still standing in front of the door, sinking in his own thought.

"Do You know Choi Group?" Wang Li Lei asked his secretary. After the days he heard Suan Lung's words, he couldn't keep his thought to himself. The name of the unknown man's kept on creeping on the corner of his mind, making him curious for the first time.

To Wang Li Lei's surprise, his secretary's face which usually composed of calmness and tranquility, his eyes gave a lit to the fire, a fit of burning anger or perhaps hate. 

Jang Hyun clicked his jaw and noticed his impudent expression to Wang Li Lei and glanced down to the floor before replying. "I apologize for my behavior, young master. May I know from whom you heard the name of the group you mentioned before?"

"Suan Shifu." Wang Li Lei replied briefly to see his secretary's knuckles which switched from whiter to red in a distorted hue.
