Chapter 100 - Lover (1/2)

Ling Yue wiped her tears on Xi Jian's shirt. With a wide grin, her eyes gleamed on his eyes. ”You look terrible but it doesn't matter because you love me!”

Ling Yue gave a peck on Xi Jian's lips. Xi Jian's heart filled with a bubble pink as Ling Yue took the initiative to kiss him. He kissed her back. But once he deepens his kiss, he must stop and grimace in pain. He withdrew unwillingly, grumbled again without releasing his arm.

A month after his absurd love confession, the bruise on Xi Jian's face finally disappeared without a trace. During this time, he avoided meeting with other people. Facing people's curious eyes was nothing, but it became pain in the ass if there were circumstances where he need to explain. So he did all his work from home. Bai Xu stands by his side 24 hours. He also always wanted Ling Yue to be by his side, but Ling Yue's work did not permit her. There were no rumors circulating when he was not in the office. The incident at that time did not reach the media thanks to Bai Xu who handled it well.

In his abscences, some King Empire workers had to go the extra work for him. He wanted to get the job done quickly so he could set aside a special time for him and Ling Yue.

”You have free time this weekend, Sir.”

Xi Jian glanced at the calendar. Ling Yue's birthday will arrived in two weeks. He secretly prepared the best proposal for her. He closed the file in his hand and handed it to Bai Xu.

”This is the last one, isn't it?”

Bai Xu nodded.

”You're duty here done. Back to office.” Xi Jian waved, sending Bai Xu out and Bai Xu quickly excuse himself.

Xi Jian grabbed his phone and dialed Ling Yue's number which was now

on his first speed dial.

”I miss you. Hurry up and come here,” he said as soon as he heard Ling Yue's voice.

Ling Yue's soft laugh entered his ears. ”I miss you too, but sorry I'm work in the field now so I can't go there.”

”Where are you?” Xi Jian walked to his closet.

”Me? I'm in District Y.”

”Don't go anywhere, I'll pick you up.” Xi Jian hung up the phone hastily, change his clothes, grabbed his car keys and darted onto the road to District Y.

Ling Yue frowned. ”Is he really going to come here?”

”Who?” her teammate today asked.

”My boyfriend.” Ling Yue gigled as she said that.

King Empire's anniversary only counted the days, the company was in a busy condition. Xi Jian, despite working at home, he would occasionally pick up Ling Yue after work.

Their routine this month were limited, but Ling Yue was happy. The word 'boyfriend' lately getting close in her ears because the people around her see she always being picked up. Ling Yue was sure they would faint if they knew the one who was picking her up was Xi Jian.

You could say, in such a short amount of time, Xi Jian adjusted to courting her. That man wanted to marry her right away but given the condition of her family, Ling Yue wanted everything to go slowly. So she could prepare them first.
