Chapter 53 - You're The Only Woman I Want

He was right. That meant that he was also correct with the rest of his speculation. This harem that she has wasn't made just for her enjoyment. Those men weren't her group of libidos. They were her personnel. She already told him about it the night they first met. He just didn't think much of it. He just thought that she was just a childish, reckless woman who was trying to impress him but the more he got to know her, the more he was learning about the organization she was handling.

"He's your brother," he said as a matter of fact.

"I know." She was trying to hamper her hysteria with a smile.

A flash of astonishment flickered in Yong Liwei's eyes. She was not as simple as she looked. Really. What was that saying again? Do not judge a book by its cover.

"We'll marry then date. We'll get to know each other as our relationship progresses!" She happily exclaimed.

"We're not getting the sequence right at all." He chuckled helplessly. Oh well, it was not like he was complaining about it. He was just about to find out the kind of wildness she has.

"Mr. Yong we have arrived." The driver announced, interrupting the couple.

She blinked a few times in confusion as she asked, "anyway, where are we?"

"To our first date." This time he looked at her attire. Since he has picked her up without much notice, she was only wearing a simple beige blouse and jeans. He shook his head in disapproval.

"And you need to get dressed."

…

Arriving at a certain fashion house. It was designed with an open floor layout, equipped with a showroom. The place occupied the entire third floor of the building they were at. She swept her eyes across the place. The concrete floor rose in a curve to meet two tangible walls. Garments were displayed on wires under tension.

It was not her first time in the place. This shop was owned by a renowned stylist. Even her cousin, Lu Weichun, admired his skills. He was her favorite stylist. Most of her clothes came from this place.

"Ms. Lu, meet Mr. Fan Derui. He'll be your personal stylist for today," introduced to her by Yong Liwei's assistant, Niu Jiachen. He arrived earlier than them.

"Yo!" Fan Derui greeted her with a grin. The man was wearing a baggy fit brown jean and a long-sleeve sweater. His long hair was tied into a messy bun. He looked like he was expecting them thanks to Niu Jiachen's notice. He happened to be one of Yong Liwei's friends that's why he personally came that day after receiving a message from the assistant. He looked at Lu Mengjie and admired her beauty but at the same time, he found her familiar, as if he has seen her somewhere already. "Ms. Lu... could you perhaps be one of the princesses of the prestigious Lu family?" He asked out loud out of curiosity.

She nodded and smiled as she introduced herself to him, "my name is Lu Mengjie, daughter of Lu Xian Yu."

"Oh my! Now I remember! You sometimes accompany Xiao Chun here, right?"

"Yes. That's me," she said, her tone polite. He was someone respected by her cousin so it was only normal for her to respect him too. Lu Mengji turned to the man who leisurely sat on the sofa. She raised a brow. "This date is?"

"You'll be my partner for an event we'll be attending tonight," Yong Liwei replied, calmly.

She pouted and crossed her arms. He could just choose anyone to accompany him. She couldn't help but feel a bit of disappointment inside since she was hoping they could go on a normal date. Lu Mengjie wasn't the type of person who enjoyed attending fancy parties. She asked, "you choose me as your partner because?"

"You're the only woman I want. The only person who can stand beside me."

This overbearing man… he knew just the right words to say for her heart to get all excited.

The two other men were looking at Yong Liwei in disbelief. Was he the same person they knew? It has been so long, by so long, they meant years since Yong Liwei introduced a woman as his partner. Niu Jiachen was surprised when he first saw a woman clinging to his boss earlier. He knew how much of a germaphobe he was. Despite already wearing gloves, he wouldn't let anyone touch him so easily so it was shocking enough to see him hold another person.

Lu Mengjie sighed in defeat upon hearing the man's words. Even if she has a choice to decline him, it was not like she could do that. She was already there. She turned to Fan Derui and smiled a bit as she said, "make sure to make me the prettiest."

"It will be an honor!"
