Hey my dears,
I wasn't able to update yesterday because I wasn't feeling well. I'm sorry for that. But hopefully, I will be okay. Thank you

Two weeks later, Li Bao handed over the company to Li Jiang albeit not officially. There had to first be a retirement party for them to do it officially. Coupled with the piling loads of work, Li Fei was responsible for ensuring that the preparations for the party were going on smoothly. She was stressed.
It was a Tuesday evening when she left the office for the day. Going to the parking lot, she found that her chauffeur wasn't there and she called him only to be told that he was soon arriving. A while later, he reached and at the back, she leaned her head and back against the seat with her eyes closed.
After a few minutes of driving, she felt her chauffeur halt the car and she asked," Traffic?"
"No Ms Li. There's a grey Bentley that has blocked the way. I will check if something is wrong," he said. "Be quick please," replied Li Fei with her eyes still closed and she heard him leave the car. Right now, all she wanted was to go back home and sleep.
A few moments later, the chauffeur came back inside and said," Ms Li, the man in the car said that.. he won't let us pass." Li Fei's eyes opened at this and she asked," Why?" "He's said that unless you go and have a word with him," he completed. Taken by surprise at this, she asked," I? Do you know him?" "I don't, Ms Li."
"Tell him I won't be coming. Let him just get out of the way and we leave," she said leaning back on the seat.
Nodding at her, the chauffeur walked back towards the car and on reaching, he delivered the message.
On coming back, he brought two bouquets of flowers with him, red roses and pink lilies. "Uhm...He told me to give you these flowers as he waits for your arrival," said the chauffeur. "Didn't you tell him what I said?" she asked slightly irritated. "I told him everything and I refused to get the flowers but he insisted," he explained. Of course he wouldn't mention that he was bribed with a large amount of money.
Li Fei took a deep breath before getting the flowers and tossed them outside the window. Pondering over it, she opened the door and left to see the mysterious man.
She was glad that no other car had come to stand behind them or else they would have created a scene. The chauffeur followed her closely to make sure that she would be alright. Standing at the front of the car where she found that the mirror had been lowered, she looked at the chauffeur and asked," Who wants to talk to me?" "It's my boss at the back. He says that you should open the door and sit with him," he said.
Li Fei chuckled at this before saying," Are you listening to yourself? You block my way saying that you want to talk to me. I put my pride aside and leave my car only for you to tell me that I should go to the back seat and sit with God knows who." "We are so sorry for all the inconvenience Miss," the chauffer said.
"Apology accepted. Out of the way then," she said. "My boss says it won't be possible before you join him at the back," he insisted.
"Oh! Tell him, that I don't want to see him not now or ever," she frustratedly said and started walking away from the car with the intention of getting a cab. She took a mental note of telling Jin Liwei about this because she found it to be rather suspicious. "Are you sure about that?" On hearing those words, that voice, she immediately turned only to lock her eyes with the most mesmerizing ones she had ever seen. Jin Liwei! He was the one sitting in the car all along! He had lowered his mirror to reveal himself to her. For five seconds, she didn't know what to do until she ran to open the car and the first thing she did was to kiss his lips hungrily.
"You're so bad," she said the moment she broke the kiss. "You like my surprise?" he asked looking at her intently. Flustered, she said," No, Yes! You would have told me you were coming. I missed you so much." With that, he kissed her lips again and the chauffeur needn't to be told to partition the front and the back seat. "I missed you too," he said inspecting her body closely to make sure that she wasn't hurt anywhere. "I didn't expect you- ahhh the flowers!!!" she remembered and rushed to open the door so that she could go pick them but she banged her forehead on the door before she could open it.
He pulled her back and made her sit on his lap before examining her forehead which had started to form a bump. "Why are you so clumsy?" he asked tracing his fingers on her bump. "I was going to get the flowers," she answered smiling coyly.
With his palm, he rubbed her forehead continuously as she slightly winced in pain. After several times of rubbing, he looked at the area and saw that it had improved.
"You should be careful," he said looking at her.
"I doubt I will be able to be careful with you around," she confessed before adding," Give me a minute. I will be right back."
Opening the door, she ran to find the flowers she had thrown outside. Some of them had scattered on the ground from the impact of the fall. Sadly, she picked up the two bouquets and held them closely to her chest. Walking to her car where the chauffeur was standing, she said," Zhe, I won't be going home with you today. Tell my parents that... you took me to my brother's house." "Are you fine miss? You don't need anything?" he asked and she nodded.
She walked back to the other car and the door was opened before she sat at the back. Placing the flowers aside, she looked at him with a wide smile and asked," When did you come back? Did everything end?" Instead of giving her an answer, he scooped her and made her seat on his lap facing him with her legs parted and began kissing her.
