Chapter 119 - Hiding Behind A Woman's Name

Li Rong's body jerked from fright upon seeing his dad's wrath. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly tried to hide his anxiety: "I don't know."

He was too concerned over Yue Wan yesterday, so he didn't find out about who hacked into his computer until he arrived at work that morning.

Li Zhi was so frustrated that he just wanted to reach across the table, wrap his fingers around Li Rong's neck and strangle some sense into him.

"You useless brat! Do you know how much money we have lost?!? How much our stocks have dropped in the market as of today? All due to your carelessness! Yet here you are, shrugging your shoulders and saying that you simply don't know."

Li Rong's heart trembled and he felt as if he was suffocating. He was unable to meet his father's eyes and bowed his head as he said: "I am sorry, Dad."

Massaging his forehead, Li Zhi observed his son's face and found a bandaid on his nose: "What happened to you?"

Hiding his nose with a hand, Li Rong turned his face away from Li Zhi's gaze and said: "Went to meet Yue Wan and slipped in excitement."

Hearing it was the daughter of Yue, Li Zhi thought his son might have gone out for a date last night. He waved his hand in dismissal and said: "Okay, Leave."

Li Rong knew that his father had misunderstood his words, yet he didn't clarify the truth as it would be too embarrassing to be scolded again in front of his sister Li Biyu.

Keeping his mouth shut, he turned and left the room.

However, he didn't know that his little white lie was caught by that very woman.

Li Biyu's lips curved into a sneer: 'Hiding behind a woman's name.'

--------

As soon as he entered his cabin...

Li Rong summoned his men as demanded to see if they had any information related to the man who punched his nose. Even after searching for the whole night, they still weren't able to find a single piece of news related to him.

Secretary Wen Ling sighed, "Boss, we are unable to find any trace of that man."

Li Rong was so mad that steam seemed to rise from the top of his head. How could he swallow this laying down? A mere man took his woman right before his eyes and punched him in his face...

Li Rong's expression turned black: "What about Yue Wan? Does she know that man?"

Secretary Wen Ling shook her head: "She is clean."

"S**t!S**t!" Li Rong trashed the room.

The atmosphere was stagnant. After some silence, the man's voice shouted with laughter.

With a bandaid on his nose, Li Rong scoffed: "Tsk, He must be a kept man by that slut."

Secretary Wen Ling realized that her Boss's tone was a little weird: 'Is boss jealous?'

-----With Ye Xian---

That whole night, Xiao Hua was busy trying to find dirt on Li Rong. Until he exterminated this guy from the world, his wolf's instinct wouldn't calm down. As he was snooping in Li Rong's private data, Xiao Hua deliberately leaked out a bit to put the Li Company in a hot spot.

"Ring...Ring.." his private phone ranged.

While his bruised slender fingers typed the keyboard, he automatically connected the phone via laptop, he answered in a hoarse voice: "What?"

On the other side, Xiao Hua's guard spoke with fear and nervousness: "Prince, Lu Jia's report is here."

Xiao Hua's fingers movement stopped.

The other side continued: "It was not just letters, it has numbers too."

Xiao Hua's tone was exceptionally cold: "Mail."

Then the line went off.

The leader of dark guards, Dong Yi, realized that his master wanted everything by email.

Without wasting time, he sent it.

"Ding...Ding.." Sound of an incoming email dinged on his computer.

"Knock...Knock." There was a knock on the door of his office.

Both sounded simultaneous.

Since Xiao Hua was inside the hidden closet, he quickly disguised himself and went out. However, not before sealing off the closet with a sliding door that looked like a wall.

Upon opening the door, he was surprised to see his beloved: "WAN."

For the past fifteen minutes, Yue Wan walked back and forth in front of Ye Xian's room with one question, 'What should I do? Knock or not!'

And after gathering up her courage she knocked on the door, but upon seeing Ye Xian with a half-buttoned shirt, her eyes widened as she stared at his exposed chest with an open mouth.

'WOW!'

Ye Xian couldn't resist laughing, seeing her smitten by his look: "Enjoying the view. Pervert Wan."

As soon as he said those words, Yue Wan's face blushed in anger and embarrassment.

She puffed out her cheeks and looked at him resentfully. Her small face was helplessly adorable as she rebuked: "Who are you talking about?! You are the half-naked pervert!"

Ye Xian couldn't stop his urge to pinch her button nose, but as he lifted his hand, Yue Wan exclaimed with a concern: "What happened to your hand?"

Ye Xian's hand was discoloured with a giant purplish-blue bruise that covered his knuckles. They appeared to be a bit swollen as well.

Ye Xian looked down at the top of his hand. "Oh, this! I touched something I shouldn't have." His tone was filled with regret and his eyes were clouded with sadness.

Ye Xian hated himself for that shameless act.

Yue Wan's heart ached to see his discomfort, so she held his hand and asked: "Do you have a First Aid kit?"

Ye Xian nodded: "Inside, please come in." He welcomed her into his room.

A chibi wolf Xiao Hua was hopping up and down with his tail flickering back and forth in excitement: 'YAYYY!!!'

On the surface, she seemed to be smiling and calm, but in fact, she was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest: "Okay."
