“I’m flattered.” Lu Li smiled and said, “I’m just one of the presidents…”

“That’s still a great achievement!” Wen Feng interrupted Lu Li and said with a smile. “As a matter of fact, I should thank your company for providing us with arms. It’s because of your company’s support that our arms research can go so successfully…”

“That’s not my decision.” Lu Li smiled politely at Wen Feng and said mildly, “That is suggested by another president of our company. He has been greatly supporting China’s military development. As a businessman, I actually…”

“Okay, Lu Li, let me introduce you to my friends.” Wen Ning hurriedly pulled him to her side. Wen Feng didn’t say anything to stop them but instead waved his hands to signal them to go on ahead. He had no reason to object, now that he had known his daughter’s boyfriend was quite excellent… Wen Feng looked at his daughter and Lu Li and the smile on his face spread. God, the two of them looked like a perfect match!

Lu Li let Wen Ning drag him toward the halls balcony, he gazed at the back of her head in silence.

Wen Ning took Lu Li to the balcony and waited for his questions, but he just kept silent. She turned around and was about to ask him why he was silent only to be attracted by his eyes. His eyes were like deep whirlpools. No one could walk back out of them once they were sucked in.

Wen Ning blinked and looked at Lu Li, asking, “Don’t you have any questions to ask me?”

Lu Li moved his eyes away, leaned against the balcony and smiled sarcastically, “You’re really funny. You will marry no man but me? Wen Ning, how can you have the cheek to say this?”

Wen Ning turned pale when she heard Lu Li’s words. She looked up at Lu Li and asked sadly, “Why do you say that? Every word I said is out of my heart!”

“Ten years ago, you swore you would guard the man you loved forever, and now you suddenly said you would marry no man but me? Or you just purposely forgot what you had said so as to achieve your purpose?” Lu Li looked coldly at Wen Ning and his eyes had a sarcastic gleam. “Don’t tell me the man you said you would love forever ten years ago was me.”

“It was you!” Wen Ning looked calmly at Lu Li and nodded. “It was you indeed.”

Lu Li froze. A storm was in his eyes, and the protruded blue veins on his neck revealed his mood.

Wen Ning looked at Lu Li and gave a self-deprecating smile. “But I was too confident. I thought you would confess your love to me after I stimulated you like that, but you just left like a coward, and I couldn’t even find you. Do you know what I want to do most all these years? That is to find you and scold you, you f*cking coward!”

“Coward?” Lu Li suddenly laughed. Just when Wen Ning was wondering what he was going to do, he suddenly pulled Wen Ning into him. Wen Ning tiptoed and stood against his chest, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat. Lu Li looked down at Wen Ning. “Why didn’t you tell me your so-called boyfriend actually didn’t exist?! Now you call me a coward? You know what, no matter how much I love a woman, I will never do such a mean thing as breaking up a couple!”

Wen Ning stared at the man who was holding her tightly, and smiled. She hugged his waist and asked in a low voice, “Do you admit that you still like me?”

Lu Li scowled, suddenly pushed Wen Ning away and looked coldly at her. “Let go of me!”

“No!” Wen Ning hugged him more tightly and stared straight at Lu Li, whispering, “Tell me whether you still love me?”

“So what?” Lu Li looked coldly at the girl who was smiling as beautifully as a flower and coldly said, “Are you going to give up your job and marry me?”

Wen Ning raised her head and laughed. “Why not? Job is not an indispensable thing for me, but you, are indispensable to me.”

Lu Li’s heart jerked sharply. He looked deeply into the eyes of the girl who was hugging him, frowned and was about to speak, when he heard Wen Ning say, “Besides, even if I marry you, it won’t affect my job. I’ll see who dare say anything bad towards our relationship!”

Lu Li stared at Wen Ning and suddenly smiled helplessly. He raised his hands and hugged her gently as he said softly, “It’s been ten years, but I still can’t refuse you.”

Wen Ning smiled and suddenly tiptoed to kiss him on the corner of his mouth. “Don’t you admire me? It’s been ten years and I still dare to confess my feelings to you.”

Lu Li froze. He looked at Wen Ning who was kissing him and a complex gleam flickered across his eyes. Wen Ning chuckled. “Do you still mean what you just said?”

Lu Li looked at her and pretended not to understand her, asking, “Which words?”

“You’ll be my boyfriend!” Wen Ning said it straight out.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows at her. “It depends on what you do.” He reached out a finger to point in-between the eyebrows of Wen Ning, nudged her off and turned to walk into the hall. “My words will count as long as you behave yourself.”

Wen Ning looked at his back and gave a faint smile. She suddenly shouted to Lu Li. “It doesn’t matter if I behave myself or not, you’ll be mine! Lu Li, I’ll never let go of your hand! You can only be my husband in this life no one else’s.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Li who was walking in the crowd couldn’t help but smile although he didn’t stop his steps. It seemed that it was a good choice to come to City A.

Qiao Liang sent Tang Xi home. Tang Xi went upstairs as soon as she entered the house. Just when she walked up to the second floor, Xiao Yan called her. Tang Xi smiled at him. “What’s up, Yan?”

Xiao Yan grunted and turned to walk towards his study. Tang Xi pursed her lips and followed him. Xiao Yan closed the door of the study when they had both entered. Tang Xi took a surprised glance at him, and Xiao Yan just pointed to the black leather sofa. “Sit down.”

Tang Xi came over, sat down and looked up at Xiao Yan. “What’s up, Yan?”

“Rourou.” Xiao Yan looked at Tang Xi, pursed his lips and asked with a frown, “Do you have something to tell me?”

Tang Xi looked at him in doubt. Xiao Yan sighed. “Uncle called me and asked about you just now.”
