The girl's words were akin to a tight slap across Zhou Che's face. She had directly rejected the idea of meeting him. For some unknown reason , he suddenly felt as if someone was trying to strangle him to death. Did this mean that he had no chance to even see her again ? How could he live all his life burdened by the regrets of his wrongdoings ? He couldn't definitely afford to live like that. That would be too suffocating for him...
Most importantly , ever since he had known about the truth behind Zhou Zhichen's death , he had started to think everything from Rong Xinghe's perspective. Because that was his only mistake six years ago. Had he trusted Rong Xinghe's intentions all those years back , the circumstances would've been quite different now. So he was going to take things slowly this time.
"I will wait.", the man smiled sadly.
Rong Xinghe raised her brows ever so slightly as a smirk appeared across her lips ,"Get out of Yuan's territory in the next five seconds !"
As soon as the girl was done saying this , the phone got disconnected , leaving Zhou Che in a state of shock. Yuan ? Did the girl actually addressed someone as influential as Xi Yuan so intimately ? What was their relationship exactly ?
But as soon as the possibility came to his mind , Zhou Che pushed it away. They must be friends , he thought. Moreover , if Xi Yuan was the King of business world , Rong Xinghe was the Iron lady of Country X too. It was completely normal for the both of them to be acquainted with each other. With this explanation to his heart , Zhou Che turned around and left. Temporarily. Until and unless he apologized to her face-to-face , he wasn't going to back down.
Meanwhile , Rong Xinghe didn't cared about the matter at all. Her entire heart was now possessed by a certain someone now. The girl placed a soft kiss against the man's lips before she pulled out her revolver ,"Time for the Military Chief to pull up her socks , gentlemen."
Xi Yuan smiled and stood up from his seat as he adjusted his suit. Although he knew that working for the armed forces had always been risky for the girl , this was not something he could hinder her from doing. She loved it. She loved working for a greater cause. Making someone smile and feel safe , ensuring empowerment of numerous lives , was what she enjoyed doing. Then how could he stop his love from doing what she loved ? All he could do was pray and wish for her safety. The most powerful man in Country X was completely helpless against the woman he loved.
"I can handle everything in Xi Corporations from here , Xinghe.", the man caressed the girl's hair lovingly ,"You need not bother facing media. Just be safe."
"Of course , I will come with you to the press conference. I will go to Military Chief office only after dropping you to Xi Corporations' headquarters.", the woman laughed.
"But this will be our first public appearance together. The journalists might ask you something offensive. And you know my temper.", the man resisted. Rong Xinghe's honor was his responsibility. If someone was to disrespect his woman , the consequences were bound to be dire.
"I bet the media will maintain its decorum after what my brothers did during the last conference.", Rong Xinghe chuckled ,"I am coming. Please ?"
"OK", the man sighed.

"How is your health now , President Xi ?", one of the reporters asked as Xinguan entered the
crowded conference hall followed by the Xi trio.
"I am fine now.", Xi Yuan replied after he helped Rong Xinghe sit comfortably.
The reporters were given the chance to interview Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe only after the girl handed over the position of Xi Corporations' CEO to him rightfully.
"President Xi , firstly , welcome back to the world of business. I would simply like to ask how the incident took place , out of nowhere ?", a female reporter raised her query.
Xi Yuan took a deep breath before he clenched his fists beneath the table. At this time , a long slender hand brushed against his palms and held onto his one hand tightly. The man looked at the girl beside him. She was smiling encouragingly at him as if she was saying 'Everything is going to be fine'. That was right. What was there for him to worry about now ? He had the most amazing person in the world standing beside him , after all.
"Well... the police department is still investigating the matter. So the matter is currently confidential. Since it is an affair of government record , they will be the ones handling it. I would just like the employees and customers of Xi Corporations to know that I am mostly recovered and that I will be managing Xi Corporations hereafter.", the man said as the day of the incident started floating in front of his eyes.
"Sir , can we know the reason behind you transferring your shares to Military Chief Rong ?", another papparazzi asked.
"Is there anyone more worthy of this position than her ?", the man smiled , as he kept holding onto the girl's hand beneath the table ,"Fang has the first right to replace me in the Xi Corporations and he has the potential to do that. But he wasn't mentally prepared for the sudden incident at that time.
"Xinghe is my friend. I admire her and I respect her. Most of you know that we met at a party organized by her best friend William Young. Since then , she has been a close friend. I trust her from the bottom of my heart. I knew that she was the only one who could help my family during my absence. So I discussed my concerns with her one day and she accepted my request without any second thought. I have no words to express my gratitude to her. All I can say is that , I was extremely lucky to have met her in this lifetime."
The journalists were taken aback by Xi Yuan's not-so-robotic tone. How come he sounded so sweet and considerate today ? Were they hearing things ?
After some seconds of silence , another female journalist spoke up ,"What does Military Chief have to say about Mr. Xi's words ?"
Rong Xinghe laughed softly and took a deep breath before she supported her chin with her hand and placed her gaze on the stunning man sitting beside her ,"Oh , I love this man !"
Xi Yuan : "....."
Hadn't she decided to keep their relationship a secret for now ? What was going on in that little havoc-causing head of hers now ?!
