I Hate You, Devil!
/ I Hate You, Devil! Chapter 9 - Pursue her
Inside a luxurious, presidential suite-like office located in the highest floor of the tallest building of Central city, Yu Chen was staring down at the countless beautiful neon lights spread over the darkness below him, like black paper filled with glitters.
The view was magnificent, but his dark eyes seemed like he couldn't see the beauty in them. He was so focused over something inside his head. His men were quietly looking at him as if they were waiting for an extremely important mission that he was about to order. It was Gu Jinyang alone who looked relax as he leisurely read some documents on his laptop.
After some moments of deafening silence, Yu Chen finally turned to look at his men.
"I have decided," he proclaimed, breaking the impending silence. His deep voice startled Gu Wei who was already dozing off. Everyone then looked intently at him as he leaned his back on the glass.
"I will pursue her," Yu Chen continued and another minute of silent went by before someone among the six men raised his hand as if he was a child raising his hand in the class so he could ask a question.
"Boss, you mean, you're against the arranged marriage that the master suggested last night?"
"Yes."
"Why? Isn't an arranged marriage the best option for you?"
"Taking her by force is… boring. Besides, I'll just scare her even more if I do that."
"Oh, so how are you going to pursue her?"
"That's..." For some reason, Yu Chen fell silent and he couldn't continue his statement. He then rested his chin on his knuckles as he appeared to be thinking deeply again.
At that moment, silence once again enveloped the room. The men seemed to be already used with this scene that they weren't bothered at all except for a certain man who could never shut his mouth.
"Boss, we are aware that you never once pursued anyone before. It's the women who were always pursuing you so we truly understand that you don't have any idea on how to pursue a girl. But fear not my boss, there exist a godly womanizer among us here who could give you the best advice in this world." Gu Wei was the one who spoke and he was talking so confidently before he suddenly stood up and walked straight towards a man standing near the door. He wrapped his arm around the man's shoulder and he dragged him towards Yu Chen.
"Boss, I believe this Guan Ye here is the answer. It may be hard to believe but this man here can make a girl fall head over heels with him with just one look and he even sleeps with different girl each night!" he continued, explaining so excitedly while Guan Ye was getting cold sweats because of the things Gu Wei was shamelessly spouting about him in front of the big boss.
Yu Chen then quietly stared at Guan Ye. His unreadable expression remained the same but in the end he asked him to speak.
"Now speak," he ordered and Guan Ye could only grit his teeth as he began to give him an answer.
Meanwhile, a girl in a simple white dress was biting her lip hard as she stared at the closed huge doors guarded by numbers of men in black. She was informed that Yu Chen was still inside so she had been waiting for about an hour now for the mighty Yu Chen to come out.
Yu Chen was someone who didn't accept any appointments so waiting for him here was the only thing she could do.
"Ugh! It's already 10pm, devil, come out now!" Luo Xiaolei was murmuring to herself. She was getting anxious and impatient. She only had 2 hours left so she'd been trying to speak with the guards but they wouldn't budge at all. She even called her grandfather but it seemed like Yu Zhaohui was so mad that he was not answering Luo Feng's calls which resulted to more threats coming from the old man.
Since her rebirth, Luo Xiaolei's plan had never been disrupted like this before. She predicted everything, even her grandparent's next moves by basing things through her experiences from her previous life so she was able to always get away from anything that could ruin her plan. However, this time, she suddenly found herself at a great disadvantage. Her supposedly perfect plans started being disrupted since that night the devil approached her and it seemed like it was getting worse by the day. The straight, faultless road in her vision was gone and she was starting to see curves and cliffs ahead of her.
These thoughts made her sigh deeply but there was no way she would let this stop her. Never. She would keep moving forward no matter what happens.
"Easy, Luo Xiaolei, for now, you must save the twins first. I will think for another plan after the twins are saved." As she said those words to herself, Luo Xiaolei raised her head up. She looked determined as ever and gladly, the moment she looked at the entrance, she finally saw the familiar figure she was waiting for.
Thus, without wasting any single moment, Luo Xiaolei then hastily walked towards him when as expected, two of the guards were about to stop her. Fortunately for her, someone seemed to have signaled them to let her be. The two men in black then backed off and the path towards the mighty Yu Chen was finally cleared.
This made Luo Xiaolei heave a sigh of relief and she continued walking.
Yu Chen on the other hand halted as soon as he saw her before he signaled his guards to move away from him.
Yu Chen's eyes narrowed a little as he waited for the girl in white to reach him. There was still no change in his expression at all and he didn't smile at her either. His eyes were just glued to the gorgeous lady approaching him.
When Luo Xiaolei finally reached him, she stopped a meter away from him when Yu Chen immediately spoke.
"What is it?" he asked and Luo Xiaolei felt a bit startled because of his amazingly cold and firm voice. She couldn't help but feel nervous as she looked at his coal black eyes. However, she couldn't afford to back off. She had to do this at all cost.
"Mr. Yu, I came here because I have something to tell you." Luo Xiaolei then bravely said and the man before him simply put one hand in his pocket as he spoke.
"Say it," he said. His tone definitely sounded like an order. Hearing him, Luo Xiaolei quietly swallowed air before she took one more step closer to him.
The two were surrounded by men in black as they stood near the entrance. An extreme silence lingered as if nature itself was also waiting for the words that she was about to say.
Luo Xiaolei once again breathed in deeply and finally, she opened her mouth.
"Mr. Yu, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"
