"Zhehan can I go now? " Li Xiaolu asked softly looking at her working husband who had his one arm wrapped around her while he was working on his laptop with the other.
"Hmm... " he replied kissing her forehead, "Just after a few minutes... "
"You have been saying that for almost an hour, Zhehan " Li Xiaolu protested, " I need to go to the Li mansion...."
"I know...." Zhehan sighed keeping away his laptop and looked at her. "Can I come with you?" he asked hesitantly.
"No...." Li Xiaolu chuckled and then she suddenly paused when she saw fear in his eyes. He was looking at her as if he would loose her.
"Zhehan.... what happened?" she asked softly placing her hand on his cheek.
"It's just that I don't like you being there with all those heartless people all alone. What if something happened to you just like that banquet?"
"Who said I am all alone. I have Yifeng with me. I'll be fine..." she assured him.
"I don't trust that guy "
"Neither do I Zhehan but you know this is important for our plan so I have to go there"
"I know.... " he sighed, "And that's why I am letting you go. Take care"
"I will... " she kissed him on his cheek. Getting up she was about to leave when suddenly Zhehan grabbed her wrist, "What?" she asked him.
"Tell that Chen Yufan to stay away from my beautiful wife" Zhehan said in a jealous tone. Li Xiaolu chuckled, "Okay... I will warn him to stay away from your beautiful wife and if he tries something again - I mean I'll tell him that. I'm getting late. Bye "
Li Xiaolu said hurriedly when suddenly Zhehan pulled her towards him and she landed right on his lap. Wraping his arms around her Zhehan made her look towards him, "Did he do something?"
"Zhehan it was nothing.... "
"Xiaolu what did he do?" Zhehan sneered. He wanted to know what happened. That sc.u.m, how dare he touch his wife!
Li Xiaolu sighed telling him all about the incident in detail. She knew this was going to happen and hence she didn't talk with Zhehan about it. It was not like she had some sympathy or anything like that towards Chen Yufan because he is her target. But she didn't want Zhehan to worry about such useless people.
And she knew Zhehan has his own problems to deal with. He would be tensed and worked up knowing all about this so she hide it from him.
As soon as Xiaolu was finished talking, Zhehan immediately hugged her in a tight embrace. It was all his fault, he cursed himself. He couldn't protect his wife well. What if that day Xiaolu couldn't fight back?
That bastard!!
"Zhehan.... are you alright? It was not your fault! You didn't know something like that could have happened. I am fine. " Li Xiaolu said patting Zhehan on his back.
Breaking the hug, Zhehan kissed Li Xiaolu fiercely pouring out all his emotions into that kiss. After a while, he left her lips panting for breath. "That's it. You are getting a bodyguard and from tommorow onwards I am going to train you.... " he kissed her forehead and smiled at her.
"What? Zhehan I can say yes to the training but no bodygaurds " Li Xiaolu whined but Zhehan wasn't having any of that. She is his wife and if he can't even protect her than what is the use of this big name, wealth and power?
Seeing that he was not listening Li Xiaolu huffed in anger, "I don't want bodygaurds!"
"Your safety is my first priority, Xiaolu and I'm sorry but I won't listen to you on this matter. You are going to have a bodygaurd.... no wait infact you should have two" Zhehan said stubbornly.
"Zhehan I have already taught a lesson to that Chen Yufan and I don't think he would try anything again. Also, I have a pepper spray, a sharp objects in my purse. On top of that you are going to teach me some self defense moves. I really don't need bodygaurds! " Li Xiaolu tried to explain to him but he was ignoring her.
"Zhehan.... " she called his name poking at his chest.
"Xiaolu please, Its not only because of Chen Yufan. I am a business man and I have many enemies. I was already thinking about giving you two bodygaurds.... "
"But - " Li Xiaolu wanted to protest but then she sighed. She knew Zhehan was not going to listen to her and she understood that he was doing it for her own good.
"Fine. Hire two gaurds but tell them to remain undercover. I don't want to see them running behind me... " she suggested.
"Okay " Zhehan smiled kissing her once again. After Li Xiaolu was escorted out of the office by Assistant Xue, Zhehan immediately called his two best bodygaurds and instructed them to follow her and protect her secretly.
The bodygaurds were confused but they obeyed their Boss's instructions and carried them out.
*****
It was almost dark when Li Xiaolu reached the Li Mansion. She was almost two hours late. She was led by the housekeeper to the main hall where her whole so called family was waiting for her.
"I'm sorry Father. I was a little late " Li Xiaolu apologised. Li Youbin's eyebrows twitched but he waved his hand, "No problem Xiaolu... You're finally here then we should leave"
"Yes Father... " she smiled and suddenly looked around, "Where's Roulan? "
"Ah, Xiaolu dear she wanted to come with us but then she had some charity event to attend. She is really sorry... " Yu Rushi immediately replied putting on her fake act.
"Oh!" Li Xiaolu said disappointed, " I wanted to reconcile with her but anyways charity is also a good thing to do. "
"Don't worry Xiaolu dear, she told me she will have lunch with you tommorow... "
"That's great." Li Xiaolu smiled. " So shall we leave? "
"Yes, Dad I'll go in elder sister's car... " Li Yifeng announced and followed Li Xiaolu to her car while the Li couple took another car.
