After Guang's and Ning Xui Ying's wedding, Deming brought Lifen back to Country A. While Daiyu remained there for some more days to help her friend. As their plane landed, Qi Yirong was already waiting for them outside.
When she spotted the couple outside, she quickly gave a polite bow as she said, "Boss, the arrangements you have asked for are already made. Here are the papers and your doc.u.ments that will be needed. And I have asked Ms. Li's assistant brought hers too. She would be here anytime"
The man nodded at her words while the woman on the wheelchair was all dumbfounded to their words. She felt alienated in the world she was living. She tilted her head up to look at him with a question in her eyes then moved her eyes to look at the secretary she was meeting for the first time.
"Are you his secretary Qi Yuirong?" she asked, remembering the conversation she had with her earlier.
The secretary nodded in acceptance as she gave a polite cheerful smile on her lips. From that call she had already started seeing her in an angelic pure light and now facing her at this moment she still felt the same.
Unbeknownst to their previous virtual meeting, Deming felt that he was missing something. "Was my woman keeping spies over me?"
Getting scared of his accusing words, the secretary quickly shook her head in disapproval and was about to defend herself but before she could Lifen words interrupted her. "What if I was keeping my spies over you? And to begin it, what if I say your secretary is my woman working for you? Then what are you going to do?"
Lady Boss! Why are you digging my grave when I am still alive? Not only this will make me lose my job but will make Boss kill me brutally. I will be all finished and my family will also be ruined. She cried internally.
In her words, Qi Yuirong felt that her death was near. She was about to get on her knees to beg for mercy when a laughter halted her actions.
"If that's the case then I can raise her pay and can treat her in a nicer way" he said while pinching Lifen's nose tenderly.
"Really?", the woman asked unrealistically, being a little doubtful of his words. Though she knew that she wouldn't be lashing out at her as she did but still she wasn't expecting him to say something like this.
"Of course! I would be honored if you keep your people in my company to keep a check on me. In that way I will feel that you are caring for me", he said as she patted her head in a pampering way.
The secretary who was standing there, witnessing everything wanted to give her Boss a full down bow of surrender. She has never known that the cold, tyrannical, devil boss she knew can be this extreme in his love life. It's an upside down change of his personality.
Hearing his flattery words, Lifen scrunched her nose up. "If it's like that then tell me now what are you planning? What are all these papers and doc.u.ments? This time please don't mess the things up?"
"When did I mess things up? Are you so good at accusing me falsely? Or are you planning to make my employees look down on me?", he said and then looked straight towards his secretary who was trying to take his new different side in.
"Haha … don't divert the talk. Tell me what are you planning now? Why am I feeling that nothing good is there in your head", Lifen said squinting her eyes at him.
"If you think like that then think it that way. You will know once we get there", he said as he spotted a girl sprinting her way to them. "Look your sweet glutton secretary is also here" he said as he gestured his eyes towards the front.
Lifen turned to look at the girl who was running with all huff and puff, "Boss! Are … are you fine? Sorry I was late …. I really did not intend to be but the jam here really sucks", he said still trying to catch her hastened breath. Then she quickly bent her back forward to give a respectful bow, both to her and Deming.
"Why did you rush here? Here, have some water", Lifen asked as she handed her the bottle of water. She has always taken this young woman as someone really close to her and thus she was protective to her too.
Erica took the bottle and gulped it down to pacify herself. After she was done, she asked "Boss are you fine?"
The woman nodded at her words and said, "Yes I am fine and still recovering, so don't worry. Now you tell me, why have you rushed here so urgently?"
Baffled, she looked to the man and said, "CEO Wang's secretary called and asked me to bring your doc.u.ments of identity here. So I came. Is there any problem?" She turned to look at the woman who was standing beside her then trailed her eyes to the man and at the end back to her boss.
Lifen looked at the man for an answer but the man wasn't in any mood to reveal anything. "Since the doc.u.ments are already here. We should make our move now", saying this he quickly wheeled the woman towards his car.
The two secretaries also followed them.
Soon the car drove out of the airport and got halted at the marriage registrar office. Lifen's eyes got widened as she looked at the place the man had brought her to. "Deming, what is this? Didn't we discuss it earlier? Then why are we still here?"
"I know that we discussed it, but at this point of time I can't bear to be alone. Living without you now has now become a torture for me so let's get it done. We will just get the marriage certificate for now and will only hold a wedding your grandfather is ready" he tried his best to persuade.
This was not only for the reason he mentioned but also because he wasn't intending to leave her when she was like this. Being like this she was already having second thoughts on their relationship and he can't let her think any more than that.
This was the only way he could now keep her close to himself, otherwise he was not sure if her grandfather would allow her with him. Once he will have this wedding card then at least he can show that to the old man and dominate him. Otherwise with Lifen on his side, he finds himself all weak.
Lifen looked at the man who has again started the old topic. It was true she was having second thoughts in her heads but those thoughts were only not strong enough to waver her heart. Looking at him now she could not bring herself to ignore his request.
She turned her head to look at the Civil Marriage Bureau office and then again back at the man who was having his puppy hopeful struck at her, patiently yet desperately waiting to get a positive reply.
Nodding her head, she said "Fine, let's get this done but afterwards don't you regret. I am already like this when you are at your prime. You can get much better than me."
Poking her nose up, he said "I don't have any interest in others. What I need is only you? Even if you would be some old woman in her 70s then also what I would have wanted in my life would be only you. Do you get my reasons and words now?"
"Hey who is an old woman in her 70s. You are much like the man in his 80s. Hmph!" she said and turned her head around
"Okay I am happily a man in the 80s if you are fine to marry me that way. Now let's go", he said as he got down from the car and also helped the woman out.
The secretary who was following them in the other car also came out. Since Erica did not know anything about it. She rushed forward to Lifen to confirm her thoughts. "Boss, we have come to the Civil Marriage Bureau office … Are you here to get your legal marriage certificate today?"
Lifen looked at her and smiled, confirming her words. The young secretary could no longer believe her eyes. She blinked it twice to know if she was not in some illusion. And then realizing that she was not she squealed, "Whoa! I am so happy for you. But why didn't you tell me before?"
"Because I also came to know about it now", she said as she passed a glaring glance to the man who was discussing something with his secretary.
"Then what about Mr. Li? Should I call him to inform? And also President Yang?", Erica asked as she started scrambling in her contact list. But before she could even dial, a dark suppressed growl came from behind.
"Xiao LiLi!"
