Birth of the Devilish CEO: So what if i'm a Lady?

Later the same day, after Yi Lan had dialled Lie Ruge's number for about ten times but no one answered the call, he decided to keep himself busy by going through some documents that contains important projects that required his signature. He tried concentrating on the papers but his mind went back to all the suggestions Yun Yi and Tan Fan has given him. Although the ideas were alright to him but that particular suggestion of taking Lie Ruge to and fro her workplace was out of his principle. Despite the fact that he was the CEO of Yi's Group, he has always being punctual to work. That was the thing his employees trusted him for. He was always the first to arrive at work and the last to leave the office. If his employees does not noticed the presence of their CEO after resuming work, they will automatically know that maybe their CEO had a very important appointment or that he will be absent from work on that particular day. He was feeling so uncomfortable about breaking his laid down principle. "But if I cannot prioritize Ge'er over my work, that shows I don't love her at all. Love comes with sacrifices I heard. So I think I should be able to sacrifice this and even more for my Ge'er. I love her so much to the extent that I'm willing to kill anyone who dares to give her a hard time. But how did my feelings developed so much? How did my heart begins to beat for her without me even being aware of it until my love for her has developed to this extent of no return? Although it all began as a game for me at the beginning but right now I know that I cannot do without her. Many ladies have gone to extra miles just to win my love but I have never for once felt attracted to anyone of them. How come my heart chose to love Ge'er who hated me with all her whole being previously? That is why it is said,'You can't choose whom to love, your heart will always reach out to that special someone who will automatically change who you are totally' I really wish Ge'er will reciprocate my love for her, then I will become the happiest man on alive", Yi Lan thought. He couldn't concentrate any longer on the documents so he immediately dropped the files on his study table. His study room was quite huge. The room contained several bookshelves with all varieties of books neatly arranged on it. He allowed his eyes to wander about the study room. He then realized that he has achieved

so much just within the period of five years of becoming the CEO of Yi's Group. There were three particular bookshelves which was used for placing all the most important trophies he was awarded during the period he became the CEO of Yi's Group. His eyes then met the picture of Ge'er and Xiao Bai which Fei Yan took on the day they met in the club. He then started reminiscing about all his encounters with Ge'er. He remembered how cold and ruthless she was towards him on their first meeting in the club, he smiled happily to himself. He remembered all the trouble he went through to find the two mysterious ladies who vanished into thin air. She really did left an unforgettable impression on him that day. She really was a very interesting lady from the first day he met her. He recalled how he was so bent on taking revenge on her after their blind date. It had never occurred to him that he will fall crazy in love with her. "What is wrong with my head? How could I forget that our first encounter was never in the club but when she saved me on that cold lonely night that I was attacked by assassins. Then that means we met three times coincidentally. And I heard that if you meet a lady three times by coincidence, it means you are fated to be with each other. Despite the fact that I don't believe in fate but this automatically means that Ge'er and I are fated to be together", Yi Lan thought happily. After reminiscing for about ten minutes Yi Lan's mood brightened up. He dialled Lie Ruge's line again for the eleventh times. He was silently praying that she should picked up the call.

"My cell phone might explode at this rate due to your incessant call Young Master Yi", Lie Ruge finally picked up the call.

"Hello my charming lady, I have missed you so much just within the space of fifteen hours. I hope you felt the same way towards me? And forgive me about the incessant call, it was because I was going crazy when I did not get to hear your voice. I had wanted to drop by at your Mansion but I resisted the urge to do so because I was afraid you might give me the cold shoulder", Yi Lan said.

"That name sounds so cheesy, I will prefer if you just stick to calling me Ge'er because with such intimate name you might ruin my chance of ever getting married Ok", Lie Ruge replied back, smiling devilishly. She was testing Yi Lan to hear his response.

"Ge'er! Why are you doing this to me? Are you planning to marry someone else instead of me? You know you should never go back on your words. You had promised to say YES to my proposal so why are you bringing up the topic of marrying someone else apart from me? Any man who dares to covet my woman will surely die a painful death in my hands. You belong to me and me alone but no one else", Yi Lan said firmly.

"Young Master Yi, you can be so funny at times. When have you ever said you were gonna marry me? And why should I rely on a man who doesn't even know where our relationship is gonna head to if I were to accept your proposal? And you shouldn't be too certain about my answer to your proposal because what will be my answer depends on how much you will showcase the fact that you love me and as far as I know you haven't started anything yet so I think you shouldn't be so hopeful of receiving a positive answer from me. You are aware that I have the right to also say NO to your proposal, so I think you should act fast about whatever you are going to embark on in order to please me or you might lose the timing forever", Lie Ruge said.

"Ge'er! I know you must be doubtful about my feelings for you but I will prove to you that my feelings for you is true. And I will never miss the timing Ge'er because I now know how it feels to be rejected and I won't give you the pleasure to reject me. I will make sure to do whatever it takes to make you say YES to my proposal", Yi Lan stated confidently.

"Wow! I really want to see how you will make that come true", Lie Ruge said. They were conversing as though they were speaking to each other face to face.

"Ge'er! I was going to ask you out on a date but you almost made me forgot what I wanted to say. Are you free to go out today?", Yi Lan asked expectantly. Lie Ruge noticed the desperation in his voice. It was as if his voice was pleading for her to say that she was free to go out.

"I think so, where are we going to exactly?", Lie Ruge asked.

"To eat out in a restaurant", Yi Lan replied.

"I don't want to go to a restaurant", Lie Ruge said.

"How about we go to the bar?", Yi Lan asked.

"I reject that idea",

"For a picnic?",

"Reject",

"What about shopping?"

"Reject",

"Ge'er! I have ran out of places of interest. Since you don't like all the places I have mentioned, I think you might a place in mind. So where do you want to go exactly?", Yi Lan asked a little displeased.

"How about we go to the club. I really need a place to relief my stress and a place to clear up my head too, so I think the club will be a perfect place for that", Lie Ruge said.
