The small piece of paper shook hard in her hands. But then Ruomei realized that it was her who was trembling, not the paper. Her face turned as white as a ghost as she lifted her eyes to meet his frosty and unfeeling gaze that had seen right through her.

She tried to smile but it helplessly faltered. "W-what do you mean?"

This time, the driver said, "Miss clearly knows what Boss means."

Wei didn't waste anymore time and stepped out, leaving a frightened and scared shitless Ruomei in the car.

Don't you dare disturb me again…

Does that mean he saw me that night when I banged on his door? But-but I was hiding!

The note was a clear warning that if she stepped out of her line again, the cost would be her life. She regretted that she underestimated Wei.

Just because she intruded on their private moment, he made her go through this dangerous roller coaster ride. For the whole time, she felt as if her heart was in her throat and she would die at any moment when the car crashed.

She clenched her fist.

He was ready to kill her because she disturbed Lihua and Wei.

Lixue you…

---

Fu Renshu said, "Boss, this is the bid file. It needs your signature."

Wei glanced through the content and signed it. As they were busy in their usual work discussion, Ruomei slowly entered his office. Before she came, she fixed her messy hair and makeup.

Fu Renshu's mouth twitched.

She still came? I thought she would have already run away after that awesome ride.

Ruomei's smile faltered as she looked at Wei. "Wei…"

After that incident, she was clueless on how to talk to him. She felt as if she completely lost her face. But she wasn't going to give up now. It was only the first day.

She peeked at the file in his hands and her face finally brightened. "It's that latest proposal on which Jiang Industries is working, right? I have studied it. If you don't mind, I have one proposal to give too…"

Fu Renshu coughed. He glanced at Wei to see that he was completely ignoring her. Ruomei stiffened on his lack of response and felt embarrassed.

She cleared her throat and pulled out the file in her hand from her bag. "This is what I have thought."

Silence.

Ruomei clenched her dress and impatiently waited for him to speak. She couldn't waste her day like this with not being able to get closer to him. Lihua wasn't here and this was the only chance to make a place in his heart.

Lixue is not here. I have to-

"Wei!"

Ruomei's face turned ashen as she heard the familiar irritating voice. She slowly turned and found Lihua merrily hopping into the office.

Her mouth dropped wide open in utter shock.

What is she doing here!?

Wei got a pleasant surprise as well to see his wife. He immediately got up and walked upto her. He gently pulled her to his side and dotingly asked, "Lixue. You are here."

"En!" She grinned.

"You didn't tell me. We could have come together," he softly said.

Ruomei blankly looked at him. He was ready to o drive away without her when she asked to share a ride but for Lihua…

Lihua smiled. "I wanted to give you a surprise! A surprise visit from your wife! Did you like it?"

A cute smile donned his lips, making Ruomei look extremely ugly.

Wei kissed her forehead. "Like it very much. I want such surprises everyday. I don't like it without you even for a moment."

She beamed.

Fu Renshu coughed, witnessing the dog food.

Ruomei wished to tear off the smile from her face. The atmosphere was so silent until now, but the moment Lihua stepped in, it suddenly felt as if it was spring.

Why...why cannot you smile at me like that?

She plastered a fake smile on her face and asked, "Lixue, why are you here?"

Her glance fell upon her.

"Did you probably come here to give his lunch?"

Lihua touched her chin. "Well I will tell my reason but...what happened to you? Why do you look so...messy?"

Ruomei froze.

Fu Renshu almost burst into a chuckle. If she knew about the ride then…

She forced herself to smile. "It's none of your concern. So why did you come?" She spoke through gritted teeth.

"Oh yes!" Lihua looked at her husband and sheepishly grinned. "I want to discuss the latest bid! I got an idea for the proposal!"

She looked at her stunned and then laughed. "Lixue. This is an important project. Do you have any idea how much money is involved here? What do you know about business? You haven't even graduated."

She proudly said, "I have completed my degree in business management from the most reputed University. I don't mean to disappoint you but I think our capabilities are quite clear here. This is not a playground."

Lihua scratched her chin. "I know I am not qualified, but I think I can surely put forth my idea. It's up to Wei what he will decide."

Wei nodded and solemnly said, "I don't need to decide. I choose your idea."

"..."

Lihua puked blood. "I didn't even say anything."

"You don't need too," he smiled and patted her head.

Ruomei felt extremely jealous.

Lihua coughed. "You…"

Just how much does this man dote upon me?

"What if my idea is actually bad and it incurs losses?"

Wei tilted his head. "I don't mind. This is your company. You can do whatever you want with it."

!!!

She felt completely helpless before this sly Mafia King who innocently flirted.

"*Ahem* Let me bring someone who is the main highlight for this idea!"

She looked at the door and said, "Come on in!"

Ruomei frowned.

What is she planning now?

The door slowly opened and Jiang Fai slowly stepped in. He gulped as he faced Wei. "H-hello cousin…"
