At the airport near Imperial city, five men dressed in black were walking behind a man who was walking arrogantly looking aloof and domineering.
If children saw this man right now then they would be running and hiding behind their mothers.
Even when he was oozing such scary vibes, he looked so charming that people around him couldn't help but pause what they are doing to take a look at him in admiration and aopreciation.
The man who looked all charismatic and poised was already feeling irritated by the fact that they had to ride the public flight, rather than using their private jet, and the amount of attention he was getting currently was making him more agitated, now. Almost all the girls around him were acting coquettishly, trying to gain his attention. It was clear from the way he carried himself that he was some rich man, and his handsome face and perfect body weren't helping much either.
One look at him and even with his shades on, anyone could see that this man belonged to some rich family and was not some normal heir. The aura that he carried around him was one, that could not be truffled with. From the number of security personals that were moving behind him it was clear that rather than some heir, he was a man who was in power himself.
"Why isn't the car here yet?" The man said calmly. Even though his voice was calm, everyone around him was already pissing their pants and feeling anything but calm.
At the same airport, a lady has entered from the same side as that man did. Jumping with each step she took, she looked like a little girl who was happy after getting her favorite candies.
The lady was like a beautiful fairy, who looked like she was watching some kind of mv walking like that. She was clearly joyed after coming back to the country.
Wearing a simple white top, denim jacket paired with jeans, and high-length boots, she was looking cute, innocent, unruly, yet elegant altogether. While walking, her long ponytail was waving in the air, making people turn her way.
Her long and thick brown hair has always gained her a lot of compliments.
Everyone including both men and women were stopping to look at her, from wherever she was passing through. Some were even contemplating whether she was a blooming actress or a model that they didn't know of.
Her more than average height also gained her some admiring compliments.
She was looking at her phone trying to call her buddy, to check if he was here or not when she felt herself bumping face-first into a wall.
Not being able to control her body in time she was about to fall when she felt the wall holding her in place. The sudden pull from the wall was soo abrupt and strong that her nose collided with it. She could feel her nose tingling with the mild pain.
Wait a minute! A wall pulled her?
She had closed her eyes earlier expecting the fall, thus, when she opened her eyes, she was shocked.
The wall in which she has unknowingly crashed was not a concrete wall but rather was a human wall and a handsome one at that. This man that she has collided with was not some average beautiful man. The man in front of her was practically a god.
His face cuts appeared as if carefully chiseled by God himself. His texture, jawbones, eyes, nose, thin lips, everything seemed so perfect. Not wanting to get caught checking the man out, she quickly straightened herself, before coughing to ease the awkwardness that she felt.
"Thanks, dude!! I would've fallen if it wasn't for you." That lady said smiling in a friendly way while patting his shoulder.
'Really xi? Dude? Was it all you could come up with? Way to embarrass yourself Xi' She muttered under her breath.
For the man, it was quite some shock too. Not because the lady is beautiful, but because this was his first time, anyone had called him dude or patted his shoulder so daringly.
He himself had studied abroad for 2 years, but never in his lifetime, anybody dared to be so bold in front of him.
'Interesting.' He thought while looking at the insane beauty in front of him. He quirked his eyebrows while studying the celestial beauty mainly focusing on her eyes, which looked so beautiful and sad at the same time.
However, everyone around him didn't share the same thoughts as him, they were holding their breaths wondering what would happen next. They were silently praying for the lady too.
Looking at her innocent and beautiful face, they couldn't help themselves but also feel fascinated by the beauty. They didn't want their master to go tough on the girl but knew that they can't say a word in front of their master, either.
Before anybody could say anything, the girl looked behind the man and smiled pleasantly. Her ride was already here. Thanking the man one more time, she walked, more like ran towards her buddy.
Before she could even reach him, she jumped in his arms hugging him like a koala bear.
"Oomph!! Who are you? I don't know this girl." Her buddy exaggerated, sounding annoyed. Even though he pretended to be annoyed, he couldn't help but tighten his arms around his little champ. He was hugging her so tightly, thinking she would vanish if he loosened his arms around her.
"I missed you!!" That girl said.
"Who are you kidding Qing Xi!! You didn't even call once when you were there. There was soo many times I thought of coming to look for you, but Jones stopped me every single time!
It was not before yesterday when I got a random email stating you'll be back and I had to pick you, that I was finally relaxed a bit. Now that you are here, I am not allowing you to go anywhere." Her buddy said.
"Okay! Okay! But I am really hungry Hongqui. Can we please talk about details later and get going already?" Qing Xi asked.
"Sure. Let's go. If Jones heard that I kept you away from your food, he'll have my head on his platter." Hongqui said while pushing her inside the car.
Unknown to them, a few guys were feeling jealous of their interaction. The most jealous man was still waiting for his car to arrive.
"Where is that da*n car!!" That man roared, already feeling angry.
Everyone around him felt goosebumps as their hairs stood in shock. This was one of the very few times they had seen their boss getting soo hyper.
Before anybody could answer, a black Mercedes was standing in front of them.
"Boss, I am sorry, I am late! There was a huge traffic jam this time. Some actress was promoting her film and it caused the people who wanted to see her gathering on the roads. " The driver said bowing respectfully trying his best to not cry at his misery.
That man, however, only looked towards his secretary and uttered,
"Let him sit at your place. And you drive the car."
Secretary Han was working with this man for more than 5 years and clearly understood what he meant by that sentence.
Without waiting any further, he took the driver's seat and asked his master, where would he like to go.
"My house. Also, find all the information about this girl that bumped into me. Who does she think she is! Bumping into me and leaving without saying sorry." That man grumbled acting like a wronged kid.
Secretary Han who was driving the car, caused the car to jerk as he lost control for a second after hearing his master's words.
When was the last time he had seen his master holding a grudge towards an unknown girl? Never.
He had never seen this side of his master. His master surely has business rivals and he acted very harshly towards them. But, holding a grudge towards a lady? His master was one of those guys who would do anything in his hand, to stay 10 feet away from any kind of lady.
And thinking that his master had specifically asked him to find all the information about her, which was really unnecessary, this secretary of his was utterly confused.P.S. What was the need of apologising? Wasn't it the boss who was at fault? Wasn't he the one pacing around losing his calm. And to say that lady also thanked him soo many times. His boss was acting unusually unreasonable today.
Hongqui took Qingxi to her favorite restaurant, where they always use to dine five years back."You still like pork ribs the best right?" Hongqui asked as he opened the gate for her to enter the restaurant."Obviously. Thank god! I'll finally be able to eat country food again, after so long. You know people practically live on pizzas and noodles there. They consume soo much junk food in comparison to healthy food." Qingxi exaggerated as she plopped down on the chair feeling exhausted.Having traveled for soo many hours she was feeling extremely tired and couldn't wait to have a nice refreshing sleep after feeding her tummy.As she was plopped tiredly on the chair massaging her knees lightly, two ladies from across few tables noticed her."Hey i
In the main building of Lu corporation, the top floor that belonged to Lu Jingzhe the CEO of the Corporation was in a mess.People were running from here to there to complete their tasks before the scheduled deadline.Deadlines to complete the work in Lu corporations were always tight, however, they were paid more than enough for their hard work, and thus, no one ever complained. This was nothing new to them.But, what irked the atmosphere was the scary aura of the devil boss itself.They were on their wit's end of thinking of ways for what had caused this sudden thunderstorm in the company.Inside the CEO's office or devil's den, two subordinates were standing feeling scared to death."What is taking him soo long to complete the task an
As Qingxi opened the door, she was surprised to see a man standing in a black suit with his goggles on."Yes? How can I help you?" Qingxi asked while looking him up and down."This...Our young master wants to talk with you. If you don't mind, can you please follow me? He is sitting in the car behind that tree." That man in the black suit said while pointing at a tree that was not far away from her apartment.Sure enough, when Qingxi peeked behind the man, she could see a car parked behind a far tree from the railing."If he wants to talk with me then isn't it proper manners to come here, rather than sending someone to call me over?" Qingxi asked coldly.She bet this was another second-generati
Early in the morning, Qingxi was woken abruptly, by her cell phone going off again and again.'Ugh!! Who wants to die early in the morning? Can't they let their great sister sleep peacefully?' Qingxi thought before mindlessly throwing her hands on the nightstand to pick up her phone.It was a call from an unknown number.Qingxi frowned before picking up the call."Hello?""Am I talking to Miss Qingxi?" The speaker on the other side of the call said politely."Yes?""Well Ms. Qing, I am Samantha calling from the Star high. This is to inform you that we had looked into your portfolio, and our higher management wants to
Qingxi looked up and was surprised to see the man from the airport standing in front of her."You... Aren't you the man who I have accidentally bumped into at the airport?" Qingxi asked.Qingxi was surprised with her own words. She was never the busybody type, and to say she was initiating such a useless conversation with some stranger was totally beyond her.If her brothers happen to listen to her and see her like this, they would surely think that something was wrong with her head, and she was suffering from some disease.'Maybe it's because this man is handsome and an eye-candy.' Qingxi reasoned with herself."Looks like it." Lu Jingzhe muttered while removing his hands from aro
The interview which was meant to be completed in 15-20 minutes like with other candidates extended to 40 minutes for Qingxi.Even the interviewers were confused as to why their boss was being particularly difficult with this candidate, not to mention the questions that were asked to this candidate were more or less useless.PAST 40 MINUTES~~"Why do you want to become an actress?" Was her first question asked by a man in his late thirties?Before Qingxi could answer her well-prepared answer to such a question, another question was asked by none other than Lu Jingzhe."What's your favorite color?" Lu Jingzhe asked while picking up a notepad and a pen to make it seem like it was one of the most important questions in the world and will decide her future in the field."Uhh...Black?" Qingxi answered confusingly, looking at the man who had questioned her the first question earlier.As Qingxi tried to answer the question once again, she was interrupted again."Why black?" Lu Jingzhe asked tw
Seeing that she was rejected by the Star high, Qingxi couldn't help but browse the available roles in the upcoming movies as she ate her favorite cupcakes.Most of the roles were of the third female leads and second female leads. One who wants to enter this entertainment field must already know that until and unless you are signed under some company, you can't interview for any lead acting role in any movie or drama.Thus, even when Qingxi wanted to interview for the roles, she couldn't sign up for her candidature.As she was scrolling the websites casually, a pop-up caught her eye.It was an advertisement for a requirement which was posted recently.It said --
Waking up to the continuous ringing of her alarm, Qingxi felt irritated by her morning schedule.Given that today was Sunday and she was free, she had decided to go for a quick shopping spree in the mall to buy her necessary clothing.Yesterday, Director Gu was humble enough to provide her with 65% of her salary. He had asked her to buy some good clothes which she can use next time when she has to go to some Interview kind of thing.His words were~~'I agree that you were here for the role of a stunt double and thus wearing these jeans and jacket is okay. But look at your portfolio.Apart from 2-3 pictures of you in a dress which is also not that good, all your poses are in jeans, shorts, tops, and jackets, not to mention all paired with boots and sports shoes.With this kind of portfolio, you won't be able to secure a go
"Qingxi, don't be naughty. You have not recovered fully." Lu Jingzhe said as Qingxi tried to come on top of him again."It's been four months since that incident happened. Do you not want to love me?" Qingxi asked as she roamed her leg up and down Lu Jingzhe's body coquettishly."I want to love you, heck I have been thinking about it for a year now. But your health will always be a priority for me.""Please? Just give me some?" Qingxi said as she tried to seduce Lu Jingzhe, who wasn't even allowing her to kiss him.It was their wedding night today.When Qingxi had woken that day after the long operation, the first thing that Lu Jingzhe had asked Qingxi was to get married, but Qingxi had denied him once again.She said she was just blooming in her career, and it will be too much hard work for her to keep their marriage hidden.But Lu Jingzhe this time was adamant about marrying her, and because of that, he used the only way he coul
"No! QINGXI!" Lu Jingzhe, who was too shocked to react earlier, shouted when he saw her falling to the ground like a lifeless doll.Blood was oozing out of her stomach and her complexion was turning paler by each second.Picking her up bridal style, he placed her inside the car before he took out his jacket and wrapped it around her torso. The last time when she had gotten hurt, things were not so severe, and thus, he wasn't feeling so bad at that time, but now that she was shot straight into the stomach, he knew it was life-threatening."Drive faster!" Lu Jingzhe yelled, and it was not long before they stopped in front of a large hospital.Lu Jing, whose eyes were closed didn't know what was happening, but he knew that he is to only open his eyes when his pretty aunt says so, and thus, he kept his eyes closed.As Lu Jingzhe helped Qingxi on a stretcher, Lu Jing heard his dad saying to the doctor,"She was shot in the stomach. Please sav
As soon as Lu Jingzhe received the call from Qingxi, he asked his team, which is always available for any mission, to get ready immediately. Passing them the approximate location that Qingxi had sent, he couldn't help but feel like something bad was about to happen.He didn't want to repeat what happened three years back with his brother and couldn't help but close his eyes as he prayed to God to keep both of them safe."We don't know how many are there and who are they or who had ordered them to do this kidnapping. I want you to guys focus on the safety of my kid that you have already seen many times and a woman who is going to be your lady boss soon. They are to be protected more than how you guys protect me." Lu Jingzhe said before taking out his phone and showing them the picture.All of them saw the picture and nodded as they had remembered the girl. As they were moving, one of the men who was sitting along with Lu Jingzhe and bodyguard Cheng couldn't
"Lu Jingzhe, wake up! Today is Sunday. I had promised Lu Jing to take him out to play on Sundays. Have you forgotten about it?" Qingxi said while almost jumping on top of him."Mmm...come here. Let me sleep more. I rarely get such a good sleep. I think I should start sleeping with you more often to get a good sleep." Lu Jingzhe said while pulling her on top of him again."Lu Jingzhe, we will discuss these things later. First, hurry up and get ready. We need to go to the old mansion." Qingxi coaxed."AHH...I forgot to tell you. I can't accompany you guys today. I have a very urgent meeting today. I am sorry." Lu Jingzhe said solemnly."What are you feeling sorry for? You have work, it's important, we understand." Qingxi said before pecking his lips softly."Mmm..don't tempt me with these kisses. I am already aroused early in the morning, I am afraid if I start kissing you, you won't be to see Lu Jing for the next whole week, let alone today."
"Lu Jingzhe! I am not able to zip the chain with only one hand! Come here this instant!" Qingxi shouted from her room, and her voice echoed in the whole house.It had been one month since the incident with her falling down the stairs happened. The plaster from her hand was already removed, but it doesn't mean she was good to go and was able to do things easily like she used to do earlier.In this one month, Qingxi has almost turned Lu Jingzhe into her maid, she would call him back and forth for even work as small as picking up a fallen spoon.When butler Ho Chen came to know about Qingxi's condition and injury, he had suggested hiring a personal nurse or appoint a maid to miss Qingxi, who will tend to all of her demands but Lu Jingzhe had denied them saying, all if this happened because he couldn't take care of her properly, and now he wants to make up for it by personally taking care of her.And to say Miss Qingxi had made his work harder wou
Placing her in the back seat of his car, Lu Jingzhe hurriedly came to sit in front before starting the car to drive to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.He could see his car seats getting dirty by Qingxi's blood and couldn't help but curse out aloud.It wasn't the car seats that he was anxious about. He was anxious about the amount of blood Qingxi was losing.After 10 minutes of driving with his heart beating at a faster pace than his car was going. He finally parked his car in front of a hospital.Picking her up bridal style, he ran inside the hospital before yelling,"Doctor!! Doctor!!" By this time, he has already thrown his mask and couldn't care less about hiding his identity or anything. The thing that he was more scared about was Qingxi's health."Qingxi! Wake up! Don't close your eyes! Didn't you say you will be staying by my side for the rest of my life as a friend, if not as a wife? I want a healthy friend,
Meanwhile, Qingxi and her family were having a joyous celebration and heart-to-heart talks, the news about Qingxi being the next heir of Xu league enterprise and the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing spread in the country like fire spreads in a bundle of dry leaves.Almost every other netizens were talking about her. Not only she had gained popularity in the entertainment circle because of the rumors clearing and Xialing's tricks, but also in the business circle since she was declared as the sole heir of such a big enterprise.Inside Luo's mansion, when Luo Lin Che saw the news about Qingxi being the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing, she felt like falling to the ground from sky-high.She has always asked her husband (Qingxi's real father) about his family, and their status but every time she would ask him that, he would always turn the question in a different direction.When Luo Lin Che married Qingxi's father, it wasn't because she
"So, she is your granddaughter?" Lu Jingzhe's grandfather asked to confirm his doubts.It was only after he asked that, did the Yun family realized that they were not alone and had company."Is there anyone in the world that I can love more than I love her?" Grandpa Ying Bing said, making Qingxi smile when she suddenly remembered something."Wait, you guys know each other? And why are you guys acting so civil? Shouldn't you be like avoiding each other and fighting each other? If you have a feud between yourselves then don't hide it, no one is here anymore." Qingxi asked, and everyone looks at her quizzically."Jingzhe, I know you stayed because you were scared for me, not knowing the whole truth, but now that you know the truth, you guys can leave. You don't have to sit with your enemies just because you guys care for me. And same is for grandpa Yun bing. If you don't like them, then you don't have to sit here just because I am associated with their
"I can explain," Qingxi said as she looked in the eyes of not only one person but four people who were standing there and gazing at her with a complicated expression. The most prominent of that of General Yun Bing, who was gazing at her with anger."You brat! Come right here! Let me teach you a good lesson. How dare you!" General Yun Bing hollered, and Qingxi, who was too shocked to react, looked at master Xu with accusing eyes."Hadn't I mentioned not to call General Yun Bing and his family to the party?" Qingxi asked as she looked at the people in front of her with a worried expression."I knew you told me to not call him, but I couldn't contain in the temptation and didn't want to miss the fun and such an explicit scene of you being reprimanded by someone. You already had your share making things hard for me, now it's my turn.Don't I know that the only person you fear after your dad is your grandfather. Also, he is my best friend. Do
