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

Chapter 478 - 478 Walk In The Night~

The guard who had come forward decided to open his mouth when he saw the dissatisfied eyes of an executive entering the building. 

"Miss, the CEO has left for a meeting during noon. It's futile for you to stand here." 

At his words, Luo Lixi froze. Pan Er Jiu couldn't control her facial expression and blurted out in grimace, "Ah? Why didn't you say that earlier?!" 

"Er… we didn't know that Sir won't come back for so long…" The man scratched his head awkwardly and showed a flashy smile, "Just now, Chief Xiao notified us."

'Such bad luck!' Luo Lixi thought in irritation as her eyes fell towards the floor where Sheng Ruming's office room was. She took Pan Er Jiu's phone and called Sheng Ruming. 

[The number you have dialled is unreachable…Tu~ Tu~ Tu~]

'Damn it!' Luo Lixi creased her face and handed the phone back to Pan Er Jiu. 

"What now?" Pan Er Jiu blinked at Luo Lixi and whispered. It was winter and snow was falling for some time.

Luo Lixi had only a single jacket while being seated in the front of her car, looking at the company. Her skin had been flushed because of the cold but even then she didn't want to move from her place! 

Not until she would confront that man!

"I want to go inside, can I?" Luo Lixi turned to the guard and asked with hesitation. 

Without thinking twice the guards nodded their heads because they still remembered her from last time and the instruction of Xiao Huang. 

"Miss, you can. It would be better if you wait for the CEO in his office room." The kind-hearted guard gave free advice. 

Luo Lixi smiled as she nodded at them. At this, a heartfelt smile also flashed on the guard's face. She gave the car's key to the guard to park it elsewhere and went inside the company building with large steps. 

Even though it was around 7 pm, many people were still at work. Luo Lixi glanced around as she noticed busy people walking around hurriedly. 

Pan Er Jiu went beside Luo Lixi and whispered, "Miss, look. People are still working at this late hour." 

"Hmm. I can see." Luo Lixi replied. She realized that this company was much more lively than last time. 

Pan Er Jiu felt lucky that she didn't have to work in a company for late hours. Accompanying Luo Lixi was something she took as travelling!

Nonetheless, Luo Lixi walked straight to the VIP lift and entered. From her memory, she typed the floor number and waited. 

But when the door was going to close, a hand suddenly came in and stopped the closing doors of the lift. 

Both Luo Lixi and Pan Er Jiu lifted their eyes and saw a familiar, stiff face. Luo Lixi's eyes lit up when she saw the man. 

"Xiao Huang! Here you are! Ah, I have missed you so much!" Luo Lixi nearly grabbed his collar but he had a good reflex and avoided her approach instinctively. 

"..." Luo Lixi. 

"..." Xiao Huang. 

An extremely awkward silence descended upon the lift. The three people stared at each other without saying a single word. 

In the end, the man could no longer stay calm in that awkward situation and broke The silence first.

"Miss Luo, you should go back." Xiao Huang said solemnly and at the same time, he clicked on a tiny red button on the lift's other buttons. The lift stopped functioning right away.

"Xiao… Xiao Huang… I want to meet him!" Luo Lixi said firmly. 

At first, she was stunned by his chilly aura but soon she recovered her senses and replied. 

In no way she would leave the company until she would have a 'Heart To Heart' talk with that hateful man!

"You can't… no you can. Just that, you should not meet him right now." Xiao Huang groaned and ran his fingers through his messy hair. 

Luo Lixi couldn't bear it anymore. She went ahead and grabbed his sleeve tightly. At the same time, all her anger and resentment left as she asked urgently, "Why?! Don't tell me… something happened to him?! Why didn't he tell me?" 

Xiao Huang didn't avoid her approach this time as he used to do in the past to avoid being complicit in his boss relationship and suffering. 

Without saying anything, he turned on the lift once again.

After leaving the lift, Luo Lixi followed him closely and stood before Sheng Ruming's office room. She didn't wait for him and pushed the door open herself! 

Her eyes stuck on the man who was working behind his desk with a messy hairstyle. His shirt hung loosely on his body while his whole persona was giving a lazy vibe. 

Badump~ Badump~ Badump~

'What is happening to me?!' Pan Er Jiu hurriedly covered her chest and felt the strong beating. She peeked at the other two people and sighed in relief. 

'Luckily, they didn't notice.' Pan Er Jiu patted her chest. At the same time, her eyes fell on Sheng Ruming. She couldn't help but admit that that man was … too handsome!

'Ah, Jiu Jiu, you can't think like that!... He's your boss' man!' Pan Er Jiu wanted to put a stop to her wandering dangerous thoughts. She also averted her eyes and stared at Xiao Huang. 

'If I think… he's also… handsome…' Pan Er Jiu blinked her large eyes as she saw Xiao Huang's handsome side profile. 

Badump~ Badump~ Badump~

'Cheap heart! Stop falling for everyone!' Pan Er Jiu screamed in her mind. At the same time, her facial expressions changed drastically from one to another. 

'What is wrong with her?' Xiao Huang was perplexed by Pan Er Jiu. He closed the door after Luo Lixi had entered the office room and turned to her. 

"Miss Jiu, should we go somewhere else?" Xiao Huang suggested as he glanced at Pan Er Jiu's forehead. 

The woman lifted her head and replied, "Ang."

Thus, both of them went to walk in the night
