I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 284 - Final Arc (Part II)



Chapter 284 - Final Arc (Part II)

When everything was finally decided, Xiaolei and Yu Chen left and went back home using their private chopper. The couple had immediately dealt with their new project. The quick renovation of the old but still sturdy building located at the northernmost part of Scarlet Hill was carried out with utmost haste. They were going to turn the old place into the most modern and fully equipped experimental research hospital, and they needed to finish it as soon as possible.

And thus, with the couple\'s combined prowess in dealing with things efficiently as how they usually dealt with things with their businesses, the hospital was completed and furnished to the nines earlier than expected. And at long last, Davi, her team, all their high tech equipment, and including the patients – currently numbering at three people – were transferred over to Scarlet Hill.

And just like that, two years passed by. The progress with the cure for Zaki, Juu and Kyuu just kept getting better. Everyone was confident in moving ahead, and they had a good feeling that everything will be alright now. The three of them will definitely be saved and they will not leave the rest of them earlier than they should.

Every day was filled with hope and for Xiaolei and Yu Chen, contentment and happiness were evident in the little things they did with each other. The couple still worked like usual, dealing with their very own companies and businesses. And lately, they have been so busy with work that they hardly even came home. So, some days, they would take turns surprising each other by barging into each other\'s office just to see each other. Of course, most of those times, they would also end up doing more than just seeing each other.

"Mrs. Yu," Gu Wei looked at Xiaolei through the rear-view mirror. "I think you have forgotten something. Your secretary told me to remind you about the party you\'re supposed to attend tonight."

Xiaolei immediately facepalmed before she groaned into her palms. He was right, she indeed had totally forgotten about that social meeting! She was meant to drop by Yu Chen\'s office to tell him that but her original plan was completely messed up all because of Yu Chen\'s naughtiness! Well, in reality, it was not like she was complaining, but lately, Yu Chen had turned into a full on shameless man now. There was no more trace of the innocent big panda when they\'re in bed anymore. In fact, they could even do it even on his desk now! She might as well call him a shameless wolf!

Biting her lower lip, Xiaolei shook her head to get rid of the juicy memory of her shameless and naughty husband. She still flushed a little when she remembered their not-so-innocent little extracurricular activity they had carried out.

"It\'s fine." She chuckled and shook her head as she decided that she would not be bringing Yu Chen as her partner for this event. The man was already gone as they both decided that he would be the one to drop by at his grandfather\'s mansion this time to visit their children, Little Ran and Rui. The party is not that important anyway. Since Yu Chen was not with her, she would just throw out an excuse and leave after an hour of being there. "You will be my partner tonight, Gu Wei." Xiaolei announced suddenly.

"W-what?" Gu Wei almost choked on his own saliva.

"Any problems with that?" Xiaolei\'s brows lifted in question.

Gu Wei blinked for a bit before shaking his head repeatedly while smiling.

"No problem! I got it miss."

"Good."

The pair, Xiaolei and Gu Wei, had arrived at the party just right on time. Gu Wei had worn his best attire as he did not want to drag down the image of his boss by looking every inch like the bodyguard that he actually was. Somehow, with Gu Wei\'s tall and lean figure, he did not look so out of place in this party filled with rich people and had somehow managed to pull off the aristocratic look.

"I\'m not sure what I\'m supposed to do here, Miss." He said as he sipped on his wine as soon as Xiaolei returned to him after talking to some important people she needed to meet and greet.

"You don\'t need to do anything. Wait, why don\'t you go mingle around and speak to some of the other ladies? You\'re still single right?" Xiaolei\'s lips lifted up and curled into a smile.

"Err… am I allowed to do that?" Gu Wei felt a little unsure as he thought of doing what his boss asked him to.

"You\'re here as my partner and not as my bodyguard. This place is heavily guarded with all these important people here. So, you don\'t need to stay on alert or anything. Go hit on some pretty lady. I\'ll just wait for Mr. and Mrs. Han to arrive. I\'ll call you when it\'s time for us to leave." Xiaolei said and Gu Wei\'s face lit up at the prospect and decided to throw caution to the wind since his boss already gave the green light. He saw a really hot lady passing by a while ago and with the look she threw at him, Gu Wei knew she was interested in him.

However, just after taking one step, he hesitated again. "Are you really sure you\'ll be fine alone?" he asked and Xiaolei sighed, wanting to smack him up the head. These bodyguards of hers were sometimes the greatest worrywart she had ever encountered. "I wouldn\'t be able to forgive myself if you end up getting into trouble because I was hitting on some –"

"Just go. Now, Gu Wei." Xiaolei rolled her eyes and made shooing motions to chase him off.

"O-okay, miss."

When the man was finally gone, Xiaolei spotted the couple she was waiting for, and she immediately approached them.

They had such a pleasant talk and Xiaolei was glad she did not decline the invitation to attend this party. This couple was the main event for her!

Time passed and Xiaolei now decided to look for Gu Wei. She wanted to leave the party now since there was nothing else more important for her to do. She did not want to linger on too long as she was not interested in parties anymore, unlike her other self from the previous life. It would be a different matter if Yu Chen was with her, but he is not. So, she had better go home and rest.

"Miss Luo," A voice called out and Xiaolei halted. That was the voice she hated the most. What was he doing here? Did they not report to her that he was currently abroad? "You look so beautiful." He praised and when Xiaolei turned to look at him, he was smiling so innocently at her, as if he was lovestruck at the sight of her. "You don\'t have a partner?" he asked as he looked around her, trying to spot if she came with a date.

"I\'m with my husband. " She told him and Yun Jinhan became very still, just staring at her before he nodded.

"I see."
