45 Rush Back (1/2)

Just as Li Rong was about to call his subordinates to get Zixi out of the unfavourable situation they had left him in, Yueyue regained her conscious and sat up. Immediately afterwards she pulled the hand - brake of the van and the car stopped.

”What are you doing?” he questioned her.

Instead of answering him, Yueyue got out of the car and came towards his side from outside. She opened his side of the door and said, ”Get off the driver's seat.”

Listening to her words he had a bad premonition in his heart. He still tried talking to her without loosing his temper, ”Why? What are you planning?”

”I said get out of the driver's seat. Don't you understand my words?”

”First you tell me why? Princess, keeping everything aside for the moment, those people might just be following us so don't be reckless right now. Get back in the car.”

”I want to go back so it doesn't matter whether they are on our tails or not.” she replied.

As soon as he heard her words, Li Rong'sanger and frustration went off the roof. He clenched his jaw so that he wouldn't lash out with words at Yueyue. Even at the point when she should have been worried about herself, she was still worrying about the other person and wanted to go back to the warehouse. It didn't take much brain power to deduce her reasons but he still had a faint hope that she would listen to him and change her mind. He himself went out the car and held her wrists, ”Are you crazy?”

”You are the crazy one. We left Zixi behind. He is in danger because of me.” It was as if Yueyue simply didn't want to listen to reason and was being adamant.

”He was groomed as your close - aide from a vary young age so, he always knew the risks. He knew that this job of his was akin to entering a lion's den. He must have been certainly prepared to face off the risks that came along with the perks of this job. We should return back first. Only after you are safe, can you help him to the best of your ability. Moreover, your safety is my first priority right now. I'll ask my subordinates to get him out of there.”

”Were other people responsible for leaving him behind? No, it was you and me.” Yueyue blew up at him with angry words. He tried to pacify her and take her back to ensure her safety. ”I promise I won't let him be in a fatal condition. Just trust me on this and go back with me.”

Yueyue pulled her hands out of Li Tong's grasp, ”Brother Li, I won't force you if you don't want to go back with me. Also, your head of house was the one involved in all of this. You just go back to your main residence and talk it out with him. Don't meddle in my affairs. It will implicate you and I don't want that so, just let me go back.”

When Li Ring didn't reply to any of her words and stop stock still, Yueyue took to pleading him in a wheeling voice, ”I have to go back.” Saying that she tried to push him aside and enter the van. Li Rong constricted her movements by holding her in his arms.

”Let go this instance.”

She tried to get out of his arms but it seemed futile.
