The second time he was in certainly one of his moods, he requested her to go to the cafeteria and choose lunch meals for them to eat in his workplace.

Wherever there have been females, then there’d be little teams of girls huddled collectively. Whether or not it was going buying or going to the lavatory, females travelled in teams. At work was no exception. Within the cafeteria there have been many tables the place comparable varieties of females sat in a bunch collectively at their unstated designated desk. When An Xiao Li’s feminine co-workers noticed her carrying a tray of meals, they stopped gossiping and stared with contempt at their CEO’s alleged lover.

‘Little sister Xiao Li!’ a deep voice referred to as.

When An Xiao Li thought-about being thick skinned to affix Lisa’s group for lunch, she heard a well-recognized male’s voice referred to as her. It was Wang Qi, he was waving at her from the desk he sat at close to a window.

‘Hello everybody,’ An Xiao Li greeted warmly.

The lads at Wang Qi’s desk reciprocated An Xiao Li’s heat greeting. She lowered her head to behave shy. Inside her coronary heart she was silently laughing fortunately up on the sky – ‘hehe… that is what’s referred to as dwelling out younger days fantastically. It’s a world the place every day is joyful!’

However while consuming An Xiao Li’s refreshing lunch break was tainted, as a result of she remembered what occurred earlier than lunch. At her work desk the intercom flashed and she or he professionally answered the decision. Chen Yu Bai additionally used knowledgeable tone. ‘An Xiao Li, come into my workplace.’

‘The place are you going?’ Chen Yu Bai requested too calmly.

An Xiao Li memorised all of Chen Yu Bai’s distinct chilly tones, when he spoke too calmly it meant he was about to have an indignant outburst.

An Xiao Li stayed standing straight. ‘Consuming lunch.’

Chen Yu Bai’s stormy eyes regularly calmed and he spoke in a gentler tone of voice. ‘Why aren’t you consuming lunch with me?’

‘I wish to keep away from any additional scandals about you and me within the workplace so I made a decision sooner or later I’ll not eat with you anymore,’ An Xiao Li stated in a severe tone.

Chen Yu Bai put the lunch field apart and smiled coldly. ‘I don’t agree.’

‘I’m not asking to your opinion,’ An Xiao Li stated coldly too.

‘An Xiao Li, you could know your limits,’ Chen Yu Bai stated. He tossed the lunch field precisely within the bin. ‘Don’t assume you’ll be able to climb over me and sit on prime of my head.’

‘I’ve no curiosity along with your head,’ An Xiao Li stated. She lifted her chin and pretended she wasn’t scared. ‘However in the event you don’t just like the lunch field from that retailer then tomorrow I’ll order a lunch field from one other retailer.’

Work ended half an hour in the past however An Xiao Li stayed again and slowly tidied her work desk while listening to any sounds from Chen Yu Bai’s workplace.

An Xiao Li was fearful that within the morning Chen Yu Bai didn’t eat a lot, he threw his lunch field within the bin and she or he didn’t see him come out of his workplace after lunch. She was fearful about his abdomen… her coronary heart mumbled to let him take care of the results of his actions for a thousand years, however she couldn’t cease worrying until she went into his workplace to examine on him.

Inside Chen Yu Bai’s workplace, he sat in entrance of his work desk and checked out An Xiao Li like she was an uninvited visitor that intruded his workplace.

Chen Yu Bai leaned again on his chair. He appeared into An Xiao Li’s eyes and he felt disconcerted. ‘You’re fearful about me?’

‘You’ve gotten a wealthy creativeness,’ An Xiao Li stated and rotated to depart his workplace.

Behind An Xiao Li’s again she heard a banging sound. She turned again round. She noticed Chen Yu Bai hunched over his work desk, one hand propped himself on his work desk and the opposite hand pressed towards his abdomen. He appeared like he was in ache.

An Xiao Li was confused whether or not Chen Yu Bai smiled as a result of he was scared she was fearful about him or he was pretending he was in ache and smiled to mock her that he fooled her.

Chen Yu Bai appeared down at An Xiao Li who knelt under his chair to regular him to sit down on his chair. There was a uncommon unusual look in his eyes and he spoke in a uncommon tender tone of voice. ‘An Xiao Li, you’re fearful about me.’

An Xiao Li felt livid.

However earlier than An Xiao Li made a sound, Chen Yu Bai held the again of her neck with one hand and gently pulled their heads nearer collectively. He gently kissed her lips. Up to now after they had been affectionate, he’d by no means been light together with her to that extent.

If it was final week – An Xiao Li would have been intoxicated and captivated by Chen Yu Bai’s gentleness.

Sadly that ‘if’ didn’t occur final week so An Xiao Li used her power to push away Chen Yu Bai who kissed her gently in an intoxicating method.

An Xiao Li rubbed her sore backside. She used her power to push Chen Yu Bai away as a result of she knew she might simply succumb to his energy of persuasion. She pointed at his tensed physique sitting on the chair and scolded loudly. ‘Don’t assume that you should use your good-looking seems to be to seduce me each time!’

Chen Yu Bai laughed coldly. ‘Final night time I allow you to eat too full, proper?’

An Xiao Li was choked with anger. She stood, rotated and strode to the door. Chen Yu Bai chased after her and pulled her arm again.

‘Not letting go,’ Chen Yu Bai stated calmly. ‘The girl that Chen Yu Bai has his eye on, for him there’s no such factor as letting go of her.’

An Xiao Li struggled to get out of Chen Yu Bai’s maintain. He held her towards his chilly chest and adamantly held onto her tight.

‘Don’t be noisy,’ Chen Yu Bai stated. Lastly he was in a position to safe An Xiao Li towards his chest. He used one hand to hit her not too laborious and never too mild on her backside. ‘Be good for me.’

An Xiao Li’s backside was hit however she didn’t perceive why. Instantly she might solely odor Chen Yu Bai’s physique and she or he slowly stopped struggling towards his chest.

‘What you wish to hear… I can’t say it,’ Chen Yu Bai stated gently. He bent his head and rubbed his cheek towards An Xiao Li’s cheek. ‘As a result of I’m not sure that’s why I would like time to consider it and be decisive. I can solely say… proper now and for a very long time sooner or later, I would like you to be beside me.’

At that second An Xiao Li didn’t know that the ice glacier of Liang’s firm was notorious for his heartless chilly blood and he by no means gave into anybody else earlier than.

‘Mmm… how lengthy?’ An Xiao Li requested suspiciously.

Chen Yu Bai comfortably rested his chin on An Xiao Li’s shoulder and continued to rub his cheek towards her cheek. All his anger was trivial in that second. ‘I don’t know… you simply have to be good and keep by my aspect.’

An Xiao Li’s coronary heart interpreted every thing Chen Yu Bai stated to her phrase by phrase – ‘He doesn’t know if he loves you. He wants time to consider whether or not he loves you or not. Throughout this time, maybe it could possibly be so long as ten years however till he doesn’t want you anymore he desires you to remain by his aspect.’

An Xiao requested her coronary heart to elaborate – ‘Then what occurs after time passes? If at the moment he realises every thing he felt up to now was simply an phantasm, will I change into somebody who’s tossed apart?’

An Xiao Li’s coronary heart ached – ‘No, until he cherished you earlier than he tossed you apart, you didn’t have any declare on his coronary heart and that’s the destiny you could settle for.’

Chen Yu Bai was having fun with holding An Xiao Li quietly towards his chest, all of a sudden she pushed him laborious. He stumbled again towards his work desk and stared at her in disbelief. ‘An-Xiao-Li!’

An Xiao Li’s eyes stung however she pressured herself to smile. ‘Chen Yu Bai, you’re really the definition of a bastard!’

Chen Yu Bai’s eyes turned icy. He pressed a hand on his abdomen and he felt his physique slowly weakened. He couldn’t maintain again the ache on his face.

‘Didn’t you hear the story in regards to the boy who cried wolf, proper? Are you able to not use the identical trick over and over to idiot me?’ An Xiao Li requested.

An Xiao Li gave Chen Yu Bai a condescending search for persevering with to pretend a abdomen ache. She rotated and left his workplace with out trying again.
