173 A sudden proposal (1/2)

After he had finished dealing with the troublemakers upstairs, Wang Yuvin went down and straight to his newly modified office where he asked Kiang Leilei to wait for him. Honestly, he had not seen what the new office looked like. Now, he can only hope that look of the room will suit Kiang Leilei's taste.

If he remembered correctly, he instructed the manager to make sure that the interior of the room was a combination of both simplicity and elegance. He also told him to put a sleeper sofa beside the ceiling to floor windows. Also, he strictly ordered him not to install any hidden video recorders or camera inside his private room.

Arriving in front of his own private room, Wang Yuvin decided to fix his clothes first before he tapped the key card to open the door. In his excitement, he forgot to knock first thus Kiang Leilei was startled when the door suddenly swung open.

”Oh, it's you! You startled me. I thought it was somebody else.” Kiang Leilei said as she placed her hand on top of her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

”I am sorry. I forgot to knock. Did you wait long? How are you feeling right now?” Wang Yuvin then quietly closed the door behind him and slowly approached Kiang Leilei who was seated on a chair opposite the ceiling to floor windows.

”I am feeling better. Thank you for saving me the second time around.” Kiang Leilei replied as she tried to avoid eye contact with Wang Yuvin, afraid that she might blush or lose composure when she did so.

Noticing how the woman had evaded his eyes, Wang Yuvin can't help but frown. What's wrong with establishing eye contact when you speak to people? Or maybe she was not just comfortable to look him straight into the eyes.

Sitting on the chair adjacent to where Kiang Leilei was seated, Wang Yuvin spoke about what happened upstairs.

”I really appreciate your bravery earlier. Thank you for trying to help me.” Wang Yuvin thanked Kiang Leilei the second time.

”No need to mention it. I was just trying to return the favor. If it wasn't for you, I am probably dead meat by now.”There was a slight bitterness in Kiang Leilei's voice.

”Hmm... About that, how did you find out that it was me?” Wang Yuvin asked, he certainly want to know what gave him out for he was sure as hell that he kept his identity well hidden. And he was in doubt that the Inspector sold him out.

”I accidentally saw your profile when I went to the police station to submit my official statement for the case. Actually, I was only able to see your face but I was not able to get hold of your name.”

For a moment, Wang Yuvin remained silent. Earlier, during the reveal, he thought that she knew who he was. But luckily it turned out that she only knew what he looked like. Meaning, this Kiang Leilei did not know that he was Wang Yuvin. Should he tell her his identity or should he hide it for a while?

”So, will you please tell me your name?” Kiang Leilei suddenly asked, gathering all her courage to ask for the guy's name.

”If I tell you my name, you have to marry me.” Wang Yuvin replied without a batting an eye.

Caught off guard, Kiang Leilei's face became red as a tomato. A proposal all of a sudden? And why does she need to marry him in exchange for his name? He better explain himself well to her.

”Excuse me? Why I should I marry you in exchange for knowing your name?” Kiang Leilei asked shortly after she had recovered from the sweet shock.
