Lu Lan lowered her head and didn't reply. She knew that there were some matters which bothered Si Li and as his wife, she should be on his side to support him.
After a while, she nodded her head.
Si Li took a deep breath and calmly said: "There are many enemies, who want to hurt me and you are an easy target for them". Si Li paused for a few seconds and then continued "I…I'm afraid to lose you".
Lu Lan was stunned, she never thought she was the weakness of Si Li. It was the first time, she saw Si Li as unassailable.
"Do you want to go?" Si Li calmly asked.
"No, I don't want, but…"Lu Lan shook her head, tears were falling from the eyes and she couldn't be able to complete her sentence.
Si Li hugged her and patted her head "If you don't want to, then don't go. I will protect you.
"Really?" Lu Lan's twinkling eyes saw him as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Hmm, but I want you to make yourself strong and whatever, the arrangements I made for your security. You must follow them. Understand?"
"Hmm" Lu Lan nodded her head vigorously and hugged him happily.
Si Li happily hugged her back.
Afterwards, Si Li had a thought in his mind "Lan".
"Hmm?"
"Who gave you the idea that I have an affair with someone else?"
Lu Lan's face changed like a child, who was caught while doing cheating. If she told him that it was Wang Yan Zhi, Si Li wouldn't pardon her and Lu Lan didn't want to bring her cousin in any problem.
"Ahhh…Ahhh…Mr Si, my head hurts a lot. Ahhh ...Ahhh" Lu Lan tried to shout as if she was in pain and tried to distract his attention.
However, Si Li already knew, she was acting.
Does she really think she can fool him so easily?
Didn't she know that her acting was worse?
"Really?"
"Yes, Mr Si. It hurts a lot"
"Let me heal you, then" Si Li pushed her body in the bed and her body underneath his body, he was about to kiss her, then suddenly his phone rang again.
It was Mo Jinnan, Si Li moved back and warned her: "You better tell me the name of the culprit otherwise I will heal you".
Si Li left to take his call and Lu Lan sighed a relief, however, after a while, she started to panic when she understood what Si Li just said a few minutes ago. Now she was in between the devil and the deep blue sea.
"Did you solve your matter?" Si Li asked
Last night, when Mo Jinnan's father called Mo Jinnan, he told him about the contract where both Mos and Fans were involved and where they were going to bid for the contract together and even both companies would be going to make the huge investment in it. However, after the Mo Jinnan cancelled the engagement, then Fan Corporation withdraw from the bid and joined with Mo Corporation's Competitor and even Fan Corporation leaked the secretive information of Mo Corporation.
"Not yet" Mo Jinnan replied.
"I can help you in this, but in return, I need some of your special teams" Si Li straightforwardly came to the point.
Si Li knew some of the special teams of Mo Jinnan, which Mo Jinnan personally trained them and till now no one was able to beat them. If Si Li got those teams then it would be a win-win situation for him, because he knew that winning that contract bid was an easy game for him and he also got special teams.
Mo Jinnan knew that Si Li also wanted his teams from so long and now Mo Jinnan was in a difficult situation. This contract was new to Mo Corporation and they had already made arrangements for the huge investment, back step opinion was not a good option to them and Si Corporation had been in this business since a long time, so the partnership between Mos and Sis would be the best option and Mo Jinnan could trust Si Li, so he could give his teams.
"Fine, but one of the teams I have assigned for the purpose of security of Song Tianxin, the rest of the teams you can have . I have no issue."
"Sure" Both of them hung up.
Then Si Li called Mu Che for the purpose of the bid, after an hour, when he returned in the room, he saw that Lu Lan was sleeping with a smile on her face, he didn't remember when was the last time he saw her smiling. Maybe, before he went to Europe.
When Lu Lan woke up it was evening, she went to the hall, where Si Li was having a conference call, he always made sure to give priority to Lu Lan, that's why he didn't leave her and did his work from there itself.
After he finished his call, he saw that Lu Lan was gazed at him.
"How is your headache?" Si Li teased her.
"It's good…good. You don't have to heal anything" Lu Lan replied anxiously and started taking steps back.
Si Li saw what she was trying to do and then Si Li smiled "Good. Go and get ready. We have to go."
"Where?"
"Our home. I am sure you don't want to live here alone".
"Okay, but my full luggage is still in the Country M"
In the rush for coming back to City Z, Lu Lan didn't bring many things with her.
"Don't worry, I have told someone to bring it. They will probably reach by tomorrow".
"Ohhhh…."
"Come on. Go and get ready. You have to meet someone.
"Who?"
"You will know when we reach there".
