42 I Will Always Protect You (2/2)

Li Yuan held her retracting hands on his face forcing her to look at him, ”….Right. I will always protect you.” He promised.

His promise exploded something inside of Lei Xinyi. She had always lived by herself, suffered alone. This was foreign. She felt real tears building in her eyes but averted her eyes and closed her heart to this foreign emotion.

This was not what he was saying for Lei Xinyi, he meant it for his fiancé Lu Xinyi. She wanted to be selfish for this moment and feel this warmth but she knew better than to fool herself.

'I am in his embrace only because he doesn't know what I am. If he knew...….' She thought bitterly.

Sliding his hand under Lei Xinyi knees he picked her up princess style. Lei Xinyi held his neck tightly which brought her closer to him but she shyly looked away.

Looking at Assistant Ji Li Yuan said in a stern voice, ”Whoever was involved cut their year bonus and demote them. And send them the warning that they have offended the future Mrs. Li. Delete the post and ask the poster to reveal the truth with apology to my lover and submit resignation before lunch time.”

Saying that he didn't stay to see his employs shocked faces but headed to his private elevator. All the while Lei Xinyi looked at him with a shocked face.

When they were in the elevator Lei Xinyi patted his face with her one hand while the other was still on his neck. Li yuan looked at her and she started, ”About what you said….”

Looking at her being shy and conserved Li Yuan's mood significantly improved and he smirked and let out a laugh, ”Lu Xinyi, forget about it. It was only for them to take the warning seriously.”

Nodding her head in understanding, she let out a sigh of relief, ”Yeah…. You really scared me…. I..I mean we didn't establish all that till now.”

Li Yuan inched her upward and held her closer. As Lie Xinyi realized their closeness, she started feeling fidgety, ”Li..Li Yuan, I..I am not that hurt. Please put me down anybody will see us.”

Li Yuan smirked and inched his face even closer to her face that their lips were only an inch away. He said in a husky voice all the while looking at her cherry red lips, ”What is that you don't want them to see? Hmm? Are we doing something they should not see?”

Lei Xinyi had never felt shy but he was making her feel strange things. Feeling her cheeks reddening she averted her eyes, ”L…Li Yuan, what are you saying?! Put me down, it will get... awkward and I can walk.”
