"Old master, it's too early to bring up this matter. The girl has only returned a few days ago. Also, I don't know what she has gone through but...

" Aunt Zhu trailed off at the end when she noticed Luo Qintian's complexion didn't look good.

The man glanced at the paper. He took it and carefully folded it. Aunt Zhu watched as he had a firm grip on the thing. He seemed to be agonising about something.

"Old master, if you feel conflicted about something, you can tell me. I swear I won't tell anyone!

"

The man glanced at her and saw she really did. His old wrinkled face cracked up into a smile as he shook his head.

"I don't want her to marry into another family. I won't let her leave my family.

"

Aunt Zhu was surprised. It was the first time the old man had said something like that.

"Then…

" As she tried to guess, he replied.

"Her husband will come and stay in this mansion. He will have to change his surname into Luo.

" Luo Qintian said as a firm look replaced his face.

"If you want to find a good husband for her, I guess it's easy but…

" She was conflicted to say.

Luo Qintian raised his eyes and asked,

"What?

"

Aunt Zhu bit her lips. She took a breath and said,

"Young Miss is highly educated. The person she will marry will definitely be someone like her standard. But will he accept that he will have to leave his family and name to marry her?

"

Luo Qintian hardened his face and viciously said,

"If necessary I will buy a man for her. There are plenty of ways to make a proud man submit under her feet and his self esteemed to crumble. As soon as she chooses one, I will get him.

"

Aunt Zhu didn't feel like listening anymore. 'Buying a man for her?! The first time I heard something so ridiculous. The girl will certainly blow up if she hears.' She forced out a smile and said to make him aware,

"Take her thoughts as priorities too.

"

"She is young and stubborn. I won't let her go astray. Xixi will have to accept what I do for her.

" The man sighed and murmured,

"One stain is enough. I won't let another to exist.

"

"...Oh. I see.

" The woman pointed at the tray she had brought and asked,

"Do you want to have something?

"

"No.

" He outright denied and asked,

"Has she left already?

"

"Yes. Then, I will leave this here and take the other things with me.

"

She put down a middle sized bowl beside him and opened the lid. As soon as he saw it, his face creased into disgust.

Nonetheless, before she left, he finished the black liquid in one gulp and handed her the bowl.

"Some people will come today, around afternoon. Make preparation.

"

"Alright.

"

The woman closed the door and left the room. Luo Qintian slowly stood up and walked towards his bed. He slowly sat down and opened a drawer. From there, he took out a photo album and began to see the photos.

When his eyes fell on some pictures, he narrowed his eyes. Then with his slightly firm hands, he took out all of Luo Lixiang's photos and put them into a box. Afterwards, he went towards the trashcan and threw the box in disgust.

There was an unconcealed hatred in his eyes as he shot it another glance…

"What are you doing in this get up? Moreover, you are wearing a business suit like this...:

" Luo Lixi asked Zhao Yichen when the man popped out before her in a rather new look. He didn't have the usual dress code but today he looked more like a businessman.

"Your grandfather told me to accompany you to the company and to take care of some matters to lighten your work stress.

" Zhao Yichen stood in attention. The man didn't even properly look at her while talking.

"Really? Hah…

" She didn't want to hear anything and said,

"If that's what he told you then follow me. Let's go.

"

"Yes.

"

A black car was waiting for Luo Lixi for a long time. They went forwards and he opened the car door for her.

As Luo Lixi sat in the passenger seat, he sat in the driver's position and drove the car away.

After several minutes, the car stopped before the Luo Corporation and both of them walked out. But as soon as her head came out from the car, several people came running towards her from afar.

"Miss Luo!

"

"I'm from Blah Blah newspaper. Can you answer a few of my questions?!....

"

"Miss Luo Lixi, wait…. Ah!

"

"Don't push me! Hey, don't step on me. Miss Luo, look at me!

"

"Miss Luo Lixi.

"

"Miss Luo!

"

"Can you…

"

Several reporters came and soon they blocked her path as well as the company's. Luo Lixi hurriedly covered her face as soon as they started to take pictures of her.

"No pictures! Nobody shall take pictures of hers!

" Soon, the guards came forwards and cleared the path. Luo Lixi walked in under the eyes of many hungry Wolf.

"Oh my goodness! What are so many people doing here?! They take pictures and ask questions like that now a days?

" Luo Lixi patted her chest.

"Yes.

" Zhao Yichen nodded.

"Insane!

"

"People are turning crazy day by day. It's not a new thing anymore.

" Zhao Yichen shut up instantly when he noticed he talked too much.

"Please this way.

" He stood very close to her and said.

"Hey, Yichen, don't stay so close to me. It's awkward.

" Luo Lixi backed away slightly as she told.

"Cough! Sorry…

"

Then, both of them walked towards the elevator. All the workers greeted her when they saw her walking in. It didn't stop until she reached her office room.

"My ten minutes got wasted just by greeting them back.

" She put her hand on her head and rubbed it gently.

"Don't greet all of them. Just one or two important people will do.

"

When she heard him, she paused and looked up.

"Why did you come here too? I think your place is with the other staff.

"

Zhao Yichen felt utter embarrassment. He opened his mouth and replied,

"Your grandfather has told me to stay with you all the time. Also, he told me to prevent you from meeting that man.

"

"Are you kidding me?!

" Luo Lixi rounded her eyes in disbelief.

"He really said that?

"

"Yes and I think you should listen to him as well.

" Zhao Yichen turned around to pick a file and placed it before her, going as far as placing a pen on it,

"You shouldn't get entangled with such a wild man…

"

Luo Lixi stood up and glared at him. She felt so much anger that even she didn't know.

"What I will do or not is my business! Also, who the heck you are to say he's wild or not! Have I ever asked you to run your mouth before me?!

"

Zhao Yichen paused in his track when she flared up.

"He is deceiving you…

"

"For what?! Also, do you know his name?!

"

Zhao Yichen paused and shook his head.

"Nobody told me his name even after I asked them. Also, it's obvious he's not a good person for you. He's attitude towards Miss Luo isn't decent either.

"

Luo Lixi stood still as she heard him. As she studied his face and the reason for him to say such things, she couldn't help but sneer.

"You know Zhao, even though my grandfather has told me to try dating others, I won't accept any of them. Also, forget what your old man had said yesterday.

"

The woman sat on the seat and told him, her voice suppressing her anger,

"Leave. I don't need you. If necessary, I will hire one. Our country can lack in anything but humans.

"

"I can't…

"

"Leave!

" Luo Lixi pointed a finger towards him. Her voice shook slightly. At her outburst, Zhao Yichen reluctantly turned around and intended to go out.

But at her words he stopped for a moment.

"Remember, I am telling you. If you run your mouth without thinking again and if by chance he hears you… I won't stop him from doing anything. Don't blame me if your family suffers for you.

"

Zhao Yichen glanced sideways and asked,

"Will he dare to go against our family which has three major generals?

"

Luo Lixi paused slightly and answered,

"You are telling me you will misuse the power our country gave you to deal with my man…

"

"Miss Luo, you…

"

Luo Lixi signaled him to stop and said,

"I am sure he has the ability. If not, it's okay. I love him. Even if he turns out to be a mere beggar with nothing, I will let him be with me. Don't let your shabby opinions affect me!

"

Zhao Yichen's eyes violently. He stormed out from the room. She glanced at the way and returned being sitter.

"Sigh! My head will burst one day…

"
