Chapter 949: I Dare You To Handle Me...

The next day Lu Lijun woke up and got ready to go out of his room, but he realized something was missing. The file he brought last night with him was not in the room, and then he remembered he left it on Jiang Yuyan's bedside table when he went there.

'If she sees the file there, she will think about how it came there,' and he thought what to do.

'Should I go and bring it? What if she asks when and how I left it there?' he was in a dilemma but then shrugged, 'Well not a big deal, I can say I left there the last night so she can read it next morning...whatever..it was meant for her to read, anyway,' he frowned and stepped out of the room.

Just then, the butler came out of the room and saw Lu Lijun.

"Good Morning, fourth young master," the butler bowed.

Lu Lijun nodded to his greeting and moved his sight to Jiang Yuyan's room.

"Young mistress is reading one file. The fourth young master can go and visit," said the butler, and Lu Lijun stepped to go to Jiang Yuyan's room.

Just after a few steps, Lu Lijun stopped and turned to look at the butler who headed towards the staircase to go downstairs.

'How come he always answers the right thing even before I ask him?" Lu Lijun thought and continued looking at the retreating back of the older man.

Going to Jiang Yuyan's room, Lu Lijun knocked on the door and heard her, "Come in."

Lu Lijun entered the room and saw Jiang Yuyan going through the file by flipping the pages with one hand as she kept the file on the pillow in her lap.

She looked at him, "Morning," and then looked back in the file.

Lu Lijun stepped ahead, and she spoke while still going through the file, "Everything is going fine with the project. You are doing a good job."

It was the first time she complimented him for something, and he felt awkward.

"Hmm, I'm here to get that file," Lu Lijun informed.

Closing the file, she offered him to get it. Lu Lijun stepped ahead and got the file from her.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked but cursed himself for what he was doing.

She had a nightmare the previous night, and he wished to know how she was.

Jiang Yuyan looked at her arm and feet, "Much better," she replied, looking at him.

She didn't know he was referring to the nightmare, but her answer was enough for him.

Not knowing what to talk about further, Lu Lijun turned to leave while Jiang Yuyan looked towards the window to see the outside view.

When Lu Lijun left, he looked at the file in his hands, 'She didn't even ask anything about the file,' he thought.

The obvious question was to ask when and how he left that file in her room, but she didn't ask.

What was she, and how difficult it was to understand what could be in her mind?

'Is she ignorant or nothing matters to her?'

Xiao Min's home...

Xiao Min and Shen Li got ready to go to the office. Since they woke up, they didn't talk, thanks to stubborn Xiao Min.

Shen Li didn't poke up, not willing to spoil his mood early morning.

Both got ready in the suits to go to the office. Shen Li was ready while Xiao Min pulled out the tie for himself from the wardrobe.

Putting the tie around his opened up collar, Xiao Min turned away from the wardrobe; just then Shen Li held the tie, "Let me do it."

Xiao Min stepped back, "No need."

"Don't forget who taught you how to tie it," Shen Li insisted and stepped closer as he held the tie again and adjusted around the collar, almost pushing the Xiao Min towards the wardrobe.

Xiao Min frowned and wanted to shrug Shen Li's hands, but the image from the past when Shen Li taught him to make a knot of the tie flashed in front of his eyes.

At that time, he was happy and smiled ear to ear that his senior was teaching him, unknown to what kind of feelings he had for his senior.

"Stay still," Shen Li warned Xiao Min, who tried to get away while thinking about the past memories.

Xiao Min stood still as Shen Li glared at him and then moved his sight towards the tie where he was making a knot.

Being busy making a knot, Shen Li spoke, "I know you are angry with me and trust me, I don't wish you to forgive me so easily. I want you to keep like this little longer so I can show you are the most important person in my life, and I can do anything to keep you with me."

"Doesn't matter to me," came the cold reply from Xiao Min.

Shen Li smiled a little knowing Xiao Min didn't mean what he said, and continued, "I know you don't trust me, and it's all my fault, but soon it will change. I have never shown you what and how exactly I felt for you, but from this moment on, I won't hide anything."

Xiao Min saw a different side of his cold senior and didn't know how to react as he felt like he was dreaming.

Shen Li continued, "And here is the start of how I feel..."

Before Xiao Min could understand, Shen Li's lips landed on his, and Xiao Min's eyes were left wide open in shock.

Slowly and steadily, Shen Li started sucking and nibbling Xiao Min's lips as his hands moved up from Xiao Min's shoulder to the back of his neck to hold him gently.

Xiao Min felt his heart beating faster and didn't feel like pushing Shen Li away. Subconsciously Xiao Min responded to that kiss, and Shen Li took the lead.

It was the first time they both kissed when they were in a sane condition, and it felt emotional.

Shen Li let go of Xiao Min as both panted lightly. It was not a long kiss as Shen Li didn't wish to push Xiao Min too much. Shen Li wished to slide his tongue in Xiao Min's cavern, but he did otherwise and stopped before he could lose his control.

Caressing Xiao Min's cheeks with the thumb, Shen Li spoke, "Trust me, I don't wish to stop with just this much but let's keep it for later when you would be willing."

Xiao Min pushed Shen Li away, realizing what he did and how he responded to the kiss. He was supposed to be angry with Shen Li, but he went with the flow and felt how hopeless he was not to keep his stand till the end.

Xiao Min tried to step away, but Shen Li pushed him back to the wardrobe and stared in his eyes as he smirked, "This time, I won't hold back anything and will go all out. I dare you to handle me."

Shen Li's words and his intense gaze made Xiao Min's heart skip a bit.

Trying to hide his feelings and maintaining his cold stance, Xiao Min spoke, "I don't care what you do."

Shen Li let go of him, and Xiao Min left the room to go downstairs for breakfast.

Xiao Min was sure if he stayed with Shen Li for long, he would give up easily, and he didn't want it.

Shen Li Didn't stop Xiao Min and followed him downstairs. Having breakfast, both left.

Ming Industries..

Lu Lian was busy working on the project along with Ming Rusheng. The past few days were so busy that she didn't have time to breathe.

She prepared the kids' play zone plan, but while preparing her plan for the community center, she faced some problems as she had to study ancient Chinese architecture.

She visited one site to study the design and pattern, but the person she wished to meet who could guide her was not available, and she was troubled with it.

She wanted to do everything correctly as it was very important for Ming Industries and her first project with them.

Ming Rusheng was busy working too. When Lu Lian's assistant went to Ming Rusheng's cabin to hand him over a few files, Ming Rusheng asked while busy working, "Is everything going fine with your boss?"

The assistant nodded, "Hmm, except for...." she stopped thinking whether she should say it or not.

"Shoot," he ordered.

"Ms. Lu visited the site, but she needs to visit one person who is rejecting her requests again and again," the assistant replied.

"Who is the person?" Ming Rusheng asked.

"Mr. Wong Fei," the assistant replied.

"Hmm, you can leave," Ming Rusheng instructed, and the assistant left.

Ming Rusheng's assistant, who heard it, said, "Boss, isn't Mr. Wong Fei the same person who...."

"Hmm," Ming Rusheng nodded, interrupting him.

"Then it's highly impossible that Ms. Lu could get to him," the assistant added.

"Seems like I need to visit that old man," Ming Rusheng commented.

"So, the boss is going himself there just to help Ms. Lu..?" The assistant concluded as his eyes brightened up with curiosity.

Ming Rusheng frowned, "It's for the sake of our project. I don't want it to be late just because of one stubborn old man."

The assistant smiled lightly as he commented, "It's rare for the boss to give an explanation on something."

Ming Rusheng glared at him, "Seems like you don't enjoy your work and salary much. Do I need to free you?"

The assistant kept quiet and picked up the files from the table under the cold glare from Ming Rusheng, who didn't blink even once.

"I'll arrange for the boss to leave," informing the assistant left as he could understand what his boss wanted.
