Luo Xiaolei was caught off guard by Yu Chen's unexpected closeness that she almost forgot to exhale. She didn't know why he was suddenly leaning so close that his glorious face was now just inches away from hers. Could it be that he was trying to kiss her? That can't be it, right? Was he trying to bump his forehead on hers again to see if he still faints?
Questions just kept on coming as Luo Xiaolei tried figuring out what was Yu Chen up to. She could only stare back at him while struggling to think clearly in spite of his face and his overwhelming gaze.
But for some reason, Yu Chen didn't move any closer. And then, in the middle of their intense staring moment, Yu Chen abruptly look away.
"Okay," he uttered without moving away that his breath blew on Luo Xiaolei's face, stunning her. Luo Xiaolei was unable to move for a moment until her brain somewhat unscrambled itself. T-this devil, are you doing this on purpose? Huh? Darn it… why do I feel like this innocent maiden is actually trying to seduce me?!
When Luo Xiaolei was about to speak, the car's door beside her opened slightly. She turned and the moment she realized that Yu Chen opened it, she was rendered speechless. Er… so he leaned towards me to open the door?! God… Yu Chen… You're too much for my heart, darn it!!
"I'll go with you then. Gu Wei and Guan Ye will go and fetch the little buns." Yu Chen continued and the heads of the two in front snapped towards them.
"Uhm… wait, boss. You're not actually thinking about riding a taxi, right?" Gu Wei said hesitantly, forcing a smile when Yu Chen fell silent for a moment. And then, he pulled the door he just opened, closed.
"Okay, you two get off and wait for a taxi then." Yu Chen ordered, rendering everyone speechless.
And thus, just like that, Gu Wei and Guan Ye was left along the highway, looking like some abandoned puppies, watching their master's car disappearing from their sight.
"Gu Wei, what did you do this time? Under normal circumstances, the boss should've asked the backup guards to give us their car instead of leaving us like this. I feel like were being punished for a reason and I am the poor innocent one who's being dragged here!" Guan Ye was suspicious as he looked sharply at the man beside him.
". . . I didn't do a thing. Guan Ye, you're complaining a lot lately. You actually even call this punishment? Did you forget about how the boss punishes someone? This is literally nothing compared to his punishment!"
". . ."
"We better move. The little bosses are waiting."
…
Scarlet Hill…
It was already twilight when Luo Xiaolei stepped out of the dressing room.
Yu Chen told her that they're going to attend a private birth day party so she had prepared herself well and made herself presentable since of course, she knew that Yu Chen will only attend a party of the most powerful. She can't possibly embarrass the most gorgeous and the most powerful man she ever had as her partner.
By the time Luo Xiaolei was walking down the stairs, Yu Chen, along with the two little buns were already sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.
"Daddy, look!" Little Rui yelled as soon as she saw Luo Xiaolei walking towards them.
Yu Chen turned his head towards her approaching figure and he froze. His eyes were immediately glued to the woman in a royal blue dress. The design of her dress was simple. It was not a dress intricate and showy enough to steal a party's spotlight, and yet Luo Xiaolei made it looked so elegantly beautiful.
"How is it?" she asked, but Yu Chen didn't reply, causing her to feel a bit nervous. He just stood there looking at her with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
"You're soooooo beautiful mommy!! The most beautiful on earth!!" Little Rui yelled while Ranran nodded multiple times.
"Thank you." Luo Xiaolei smiled at the little buns when finally, the frozen man, finally made a sound.
He cleared his throat and then he spoke. "Not bad. You're beautiful." He said and Luo Xiaolei's smile widened.
"Thanks. Shall we go?" she said and after they both said good night to little Rui and little Ran, they finally left Scarlet Hill.
…
Country C's capital…
Upon arriving at a huge, luxurious private villa located in the most expensive place in the capital, Luo Xiaolei immediately recognized the place and who owned it. The owner of this place wasn't revealed yet to the public at this time but Luo Xiaolei already knew, because in her previous life, her grandparents actually tried to buy this villa and that's where she found out that it was actually owned by the god of business world, Chen Seiji.
Wait… could it be that we're attending a party of the Chens?!
Luo Xiaolei was bewildered. She was aware about the Chens. They were on par, no, even actually above the Yus. But what surprised her the most was that, Yu Chen was actually attending a party of the Chens? Aren't Yu empire and Red Empire of the Chens sworn enemies for decades?!
In her previous life, and even now, rumors always had it that Yu Empire and the Red empire were two titans clashing against each other. Luo Xiaolei even lowkey believed the rumors were true because the two giant companies never once joined forces. There was no known connection between them, not even a single news about the two CEOs interacting at all that people could only speculate that the two companies were actually in a cold war.
But it seemed like those rumors were all false all along. Otherwise, why would this great Chen Seiji be here, even personally waiting for Yu Chen's arrival like this?!
"I didn't know that Yu Chen is actually an acquaintance of the Chens." Luo Xiaolei uttered as she watched Yu Chen walked towards Chen Seiji, and she didn't notice that she actually said those words out loud.
Of course, what she murmured didn't escape the ears of the gossip guy who had tagged along despite his fear towards Chen Seiji's younger brother.
"Well, basically, boss is a Chen too." Gu Wei suddenly uttered, causing Luo Xiaolei's eyes to almost bulge out in utter surprise.
"W-what did you say?!" she exclaimed but the man simply chuckled mischievously.
Gu Wei: "It's because when the boss is with them, he is Chen Yu, not Yu Chen. Pfft!"
Lou Xiaolei: ". . ."
