Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 303 - 303 ' … Sorry To Torture You, My Poor Babies!'

Then with her left hand, she tapped around endlessly on the keyboard while her right hand checked the file. While checking the file, she would occasionally put that information in the database. 

Her work continued until 6 pm when the office door opened and someone came in. Watching Luo Lixi being so invested in her work, the other party didn't disturb her and soundlessly inched towards her.

Luo Lixi already knew that someone had entered her office but she didn't lift her head. At this time, other staff had already left. So in her mind, only Pan Er Jiu could stay here 

"Er Jiu, give me a glass of coffee. My head is hurting." Her low murmurs echoed in the vast room. 

The person who was walking towards her stopped and changed direction. Then, the noise of metallic things being knocked against glass sounded as well as the sound of the coffee maker 

In two minutes, everything became quiet. The other person came to her. The hand didn't put down the cup on the desk, rather waited for her to accept. 

After a few seconds, Luo Lixi sighed heavily as she puckered her lips. It seemed as if a huge work was done by her. When she turned her head, the coffee cup being held in the air entered her vision.

"Ah, you're done. Thanks…" Her hand touched the cup as she wanted to receive it but her smile stiffened when the masculine hand entered her vision. 

Slowly her smile vanished as she lifted her eyes and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

The other person smiled. His face showed a clear innocent picture. He dragged a leather chair and sat down. His black eyes twinkled as he muttered, "Why, I'm not allowed? But the security guards didn't stop me though."

The smile turned bigger as he saw Luo Lixi's cold face. Luo Lixi felt a goosebump run by her spine as she was stared at by the other person intensely.

Her fingers clenched tightly while watching the other person's lazy temperament.

… …

Ji Yanli was busy with her assignments. Wang Haixiao was beside her. She was writing about the management of various plans of a business proposal while Wang Haixiao was emerged in the ups and downs of the stock market. 

"This…" Ji Yanli scratched her head with her pen while her face was creased into a deep frown. When she wanted to put the pen in her lips, Wang Haixiao slapped the back of her head lightly.

"What the?!" Ji Yanli flared up in a second.

But the man didn't show any emotion as he snatched the pen from her hand and placed it on the table, "Do you want to get diarrhoea on your presentation day?! You and your bad habits!"

Hearing him, Ji Yanli's anger subsided but she didn't want to be at the loose end. So she used her ruler and hit him on his arm, "Hey, you dare to slap my head! Do you want me to turn idiot?!"

Wang Haixiao didn't turn his head from his papers and mocked her, "Why will you turn idiot? It will be me."

"You… you are trying to infuriate me on purpose!" Ji Yanli wanted to hit the other person again but he caught with his left hand without looking and scoffed, "Tomorrow is the deadline, remember?"

Ji Yanli immediately got back her sense. For the past few days, she was so carried away by newfound excitement that all her assignments piled up. 

Today, the stern professor gave them a last reminder. Only then she remembered that Wang Haixiao was busy scribbling something for the past few days but she didn't bother to inquire at that time.

"You hateful man. Why didn't you remind me?!" Ji Yanli gritted her teeth and muttered out in bitterness as she mulled over her papers.

After one hour, Wang Haixiao put down his papers in a bag and turned towards her. "Who told you to run around and create havoc in the shopping malls? You emptied my nine hundred thousand this month."

"It's our money! You forgot?" Ji Yanli whispered. Even she felt the pinch of using so much. 

"Heh!" Wang Haixiao didn't say anything and got up. Watching this, Ji Yanli piped up anxiously, "Where are you going?"

The man straightened out his body and patted his mouth, "I am done. Going to sleep now."

Ji Yanli's face brightened up, "Then why don't you help me? Look, I've so much work to finish..."

Wang Haixiao turned around and gazed towards the wall clock of the living room. He showed the other person a cheeky smile and shook his head, "It's 23 o'clock."

"So what?" Ji Yanli frowned. 

"Well, I can't help you anymore. It's time for my beauty sleep." Wang Haixiao yawned pretentiously and turned around to leave. 

Ji Yanli slammed her hand on the table and cried out as she pointed her own towards his body, "You always sleep after midnight. Also, men don't need beauty sleep. Come and help me. Get your shitty ass right here!"

Wang Haixiao halted at the doorframe of his room and turned around. The man folded his hands lazily and leaned back towards the door frame, "If you women need beauty sleep, then so do we. Don't shout. Your time is slipping away. Humph!"

Ji Yanli calmed down and glanced down on the scattered papers. She murmured silently, "Forget it then."

She didn't look up anymore and nearly bent to the table while writing fiercely on the papers. Wang Haixiao, however, didn't go to sleep and continued to peer at her face.

At one point, her words became unrecognisable. Wang Haixiao couldn't stop his chuckle and Ji Yanli directly shot him with a deadly-poisonous scowl.

But none spoke in that situation. Abruptly, the wall clock rang out. Turned out, midnight had come.

'Ah, my sexy fingers… sorry to torture you, my poor babies!' Ji Yanli mourned for her fingers which had turned red because of the pressure she was using to write.
