I Hate You, Devil! 157 Always

The spacious practice room instantly fell silent. Luo Xiaolei and the boys were utterly speechless while Yu Chen's expression remained impassive and serious as the call went on.

"No," he said and after a short pause his eyes fell on the boys again before he continued. "I mean, big babies."

Luo Xiaolei and the boys: ". . ."

'Oh my god, Yu Chen!'

Luo Xiaolei's jaw dropped as she looked at him in disbelief. This man was just too much. Was he purposely giving Gu Wei a hard time? Impossible! This man didn't know how to joke around! Then why? Was it because she called them 'babies'? That was the only acceptable explanation she could think of and all she could do was face palm herself in her mind.

Letting go of a defeated sigh, Luo Xiaolei lifted her hand to snatch Yu Chen's phone but the man already ended the call.

Yu Chen blinked when he saw her hand paused in midair.

"You…" she uttered and then she lightly pinched his cheek. 'You are so out of this world!!'

Luo Xiaolei really didn't know what to even say. She didn't know what she should do at that moment so she just lovingly pinch his cheeks like this. This man was the only one who could make her lose her mind without him even trying. Sigh…

Before she knew it, her hands were already cupping his face, pulling him closer to her face.

"Damn Yu Chen, too much cuteness should be punishable by me from now on!" she muttered and Yu Chen frowned. 'Damn! Did I say that out loud again? Luo Xiaolei! Get a hold of yourself!'

Luo Xiaolei quickly glanced at her babies. When she saw that Yu Chen seemed to be the only one who heard her, she relaxed. She cleared her throat and let go of Yu Chen's face. 'Xiaolei! There's still a fifteen years old fetus baby here!'

After distancing herself one step away from the temptation, Luo Xiaolei brought out her phone and called Gu Wei. She was worried that that poor guy would really buy baby food so she must save him while she could.

"Hello? Mr. Gu? Please don't misunderstand what Yu Chen said… What he meant was food for 8 grown up boys."

Luo Xiaolei then asked the boys to go back to their rooms and rest while they were waiting for their dinner to arrive before she led Yu Chen towards a quiet recording room.

She started telling him about that matter she wanted to discuss with him that night when they were at the hospital. She confessed that Star Castle's investor suddenly pulled out. Of course Luo Xiaolei always knew that something like this would be inevitable but she didn't expect that company to pull out at this point.

"So you want me to invest in your company?" Yu Chen asked, his voice was serious as usual but there was a subtle change in the way he spoke to her this time. But it wasn't just him. The air around Luo Xiaolei also changed since she started talking about business. The vibe between them at that moment was purely business.

"Yes." Without beating around the bush, Luo Xiaolei nodded her answer. Since the day that company pulled out, Luo Xiaolei had been in a great dilemma. Her babies' debut was close so this was a huge problem for her. Of course, she always knew that something like this was inevitable so she somehow made preparations for it but she knew that it would take time to find another investor.

While she was watching Yu Chen in the hospital, her mind had been occupied by it until she realized one thing – that her fiancé was a tycoon. Why would she trouble herself looking for somebody else when the biggest fish in the country was right next to her?!

"Why did that company suddenly pull out?" Yu Chen asked and Luo Xiaolei shrugged.

"I think they just didn't trust me enough." She answered. That was the only reason she could think of. Nobody in her family knew what she was doing so it was impossible that someone was manipulating this matter.

"I see. They didn't know that you are Little Secret?"

"They knew."

When Yu Chen heard that they knew, a slight wicked smile suddenly carved on his gorgeous face, stunning Luo Xiaolei to the core.

"The CEO of that investment company is truly a fool," he said. He was speaking like the real devil prince that he was. The killer look in his eyes and the utmost authority in his voice was making Luo Xiaolei feel a bit tensed. He was truly intimidating. There was no trace of the cute and fluffy panda of hers anymore and she couldn't help but swallow her own saliva as she looked at him.

But then, after just some seconds, he transformed again. Her panda was back.

"I'm really glad you didn't look for anyone else." He said, he sounded obviously pleased.

"Why should I trouble myself looking for somebody when I have you right within my reach?" she grinned at him. "I will make those people regret it soon enough."

"They will." He echoed and Luo Xiaolei's smile became even wider. She was beyond happy. She didn't know that she would feel this happy. She didn't know that having someone put their unconditional trust in you when no one else did would unbelievably feel this fulfilling.

Looking at him, Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but feel emotional and before she knew it, she was already hugging him tight.

"Thank you, I will do my very best. I'll make sure to increase your initial investment by tenfold… no, it should be 20 fold or more." She said, and she heard Yu Chen's soft chuckle.

Abruptly, Luo Xiaolei pulled back to see him chuckling but to her disappointment, she didn't make it in time. She didn't know that in Yu Chen's mind, he was telling her that he didn't want money or anything as a return on investment, he wanted her.

"Mm. Work hard for your dream. I'll always be here to support you." he replied and Luo Xiaolei fell in a daze for a moment before she buried her face on his chest again.
