╚═══════════════════╝

Bing Shi had to inherit her family's company and couldn't chase her dreams blindly. She still didn't give up on assembling a team of people, who would build a skyscraper with her. Therefore, she decided to take a more practical approach and founded the A.I.M group, a small architecture and engineering consulting firm, which collaborated mainly with Wu's property group. 

A.I.M's first project was a family investment. She was going to inherit her parent's company, so why not combine it, and create a self-advertisement for A.I.M?

Instead of working as a structural engineer, she took over management and marketing roles. Her idea was to create a more modern and appealing space that would increase the traffic and sales in the Wu property's malls.

A.I.M would be able to use this success to secure deals for future projects.

° Start of Flashback...

°  How did Xuan Mu anger, Bing Shi?

°  Xuan Mu sat behind a massive desk with a casual, laid-back stance. Only the spark of anticipation in his eyes sold him away; analyzing the situation outside of his office on his computer.

°  Bing Shi drove herself to his office in a bulletproof metallic pink sedan and stepped out in an elegant creamy dress with a bow. The Fenlin Headquarters was a glass building seventy stories high, and somewhere at the top should be Xuan Mu's office.

°  For a restaurant and tea house chain, the building was too big. Almost eighty percent of it was occupied by Xuan Mu's people, who were managing all of his assets and operations, making sure that all of their boss' demands were fulfilled.

°  'Yes, I drive a bulletproof car, because my boyfriend is very....ehm protective?'

°  'Somehow it turned pink.'

┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)

°  'What protective?'

°  'He is clearly trolling me!'

(ノ｀Д')ノ彡┻━┻

°  Bing Shi smiled and nodded at the receptionist before stepping into the private elevator. As the elevator ascended to the top floor, she couldn't help but wonder at how easily she gained access to the building.

°  Mia was behind the desk when she noticed her boss' girlfriend. Standing up, she greeted Bing Shi politely, "Miss Bing Shi!" She had never had a chance to talk to Bing Shi in real life and was a little intimidated by her identity.

°  "Mia, hello! What's with those honorifics? Just call me Bing Shi. I told you many times," Bing Shi smiled encouragingly. She knew that Mia had been working for Xuan Mu for a few years, and was one of the most reliable employees; her smooth access must have been this secretary's doing.

°  Mia shook her head, looking scared and uncomfortable, "I-I don't dare." 

° "I'm harmless, I promise," Bing Shi said, leaning closer to Mia. "Just try saying my name. Biiiiiiing Shiiiiiii."

° Mia shrank her shoulders and took a step back. "I'm sorry, I can't."

°  "Why are you so scared of me?" Bing Shi sighed and turned towards the office door nearby, "Was it Xuan Mu? Did he badmouth me? Let me teach him a lesson," she rolled up her sleeves, "Or did he bully you?"

°  Mia giggled, "No. It's because..." Her words were interrupted by a phone call from her Boss.

°  "You don't have much time left," the voice sounded deep and gruff, and mainly dissatisfied. 

°  Mia's face turned ashen; her heart thumped painfully. Bing Shi signaled her to give her the phone and she gave it to her obediently.

°  "Stop scaring her," Bing Shi spoke into the phone, giving the phone back to Mia, she walked towards his office, ready to open it only to realize that it was closed, "Xuan Mu, open the door."

°  Mia rushed towards Bing Shi and put the phone near her ear.

°  "Say, please," Xuan Mu voiced out.

°  "..." Bing Shi took a deep breath, "Please."

°  Xuan Mu smiled, opening the door for her by pressing a button under his desk, "Pft...I was preparing myself to chase after you and let the whole building question our relationship."

°  "Can Mia join us?" Bing Shi turned toward Mia with a smile, "Whoever catches Mia first is the winner and gets a hug from me while Mia will receive five thousand from the loser." 

°  Mia was taken aback for a moment, her hand shook, and the phone almost fell from her hands. Rich people and their plays… Would Bing Shi really pay her five thousand dollars if Xuan Mu caught her? Because there was no way in hell her boss would let his girlfriend touch anyone beside him.

°  "Touch Mia and see how I'll punish you," Xuan Mu articulated slowly, looking at his girlfriend, giving her enough time to change her decision.

°  Bing Shi gave Mia a heartbroken expression. "What a pity, Mia. It seems like I'll never get to hug you," she said and walked through the door.

°  Mia breathed in relief. 'How could the sweet Bing Shi handle someone so crazy? Why do I still like him?! Am I going crazy?' She knew that they were playing with her feelings, but she couldn't point out what was wrong.

°  Bing Shi locked the door, but Xuan Mu opened it from his seat.

┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)

°  "Bing Shi, you are no fun," Xuan Mu supported his chin with a sad sigh, "You have to be disobedient sometimes so I could punish you."

°  "Why do you want to punish me?" She was about to sit on the chair before him, but Xuan Mu signaled her to sit on his lap. "..." She sent him a fed-up expression, "I'm not sitting on you before you close the door. Also, won't I wake MuMu?"

°  "Too late," Xuan Mu blinked at her innocently, "MuMu missed you and told me to call you." He opened the drawer and gave her a packet of wet tissues.

°  'Should I choke him?'

°  'Should I?'

°  'Why would I? He is hilarious ♪♫'
