149. Much better

As expected, the movie topped every chart available after a week it was released.

It soared through the charts towards the top like a launched rocket. After the premier, there were tens of offers that reached Assistant Peiyi's hand.

In Country C, where no one knows that Li Zhilan is already signed with The H Entertainment, there were countless offers from big and small companies who tried to rope her in their own company.

...

BANG

''Get you ass to work. I hired Peiyi for myself, not as your assistant. Why are you making her go through those? If she does it, why do I even need a manager like you. I'd rather change my manager to her and let her enjoy a better position.''

Li Zhilan had kicked Xavier who was originally sitting on the couch playing his game right off the couch and directly landing infront of Peiyi who was sorting the offers and deciding which ones to go forward with and which ones to give the red light. For her, such things were quite simple considering her previous works so she didn't mind it much.

But when she saw how her goddess interacted with her friends, she felt that it was especially heartwarming making her want to just stick around forever.

And so, Peiyi, who was previously handling all thise offers, was now sitting on the couch beside Li Zhilan, enjoying a steamy cup of tea. Whereas, Xavier who was previously enjoying his game was now working like the manager he is.

But that 'peaceful' moment which lasted quite a few hours was disturbed when the doorbell rang making everyone perk up their ears.

''Who could that be?'' Li Zhilan asked in surprise as not many knew her home address and those who knew while definitely call in advance. However, there was no warning this time. Even Xavier, who usually ordered for things online, shook his head this time showing his lack of involvement this time.

While the two of them were showing their shock and lack of knowledge, Peiyi had already stood up and was opening the door.

Those two monkeys who were in the living room and couldn't see who was at the door stayed silent to hear what the other person was saying. They wanted to know who it was that ringed the bell.

Bu all they heard was Peiyi's surprised voice, and that made them especially Li Zhilan shocked.

''President Qi!''

Without waiting for the other person to get back her senses after the shock, Qi Longwei quickly got in taking large steps.

What came into Li Zhilan and Xavier's eyes were a pair if long sturdy legs and a firm chest with a otherworldly face. Qi Longwei was donning a black suit with his hair styled towards the back like he does usually.

In his hand was a large bouquet of orchids. Those on the periphery where all red orchids while in the middle was a mixture of various colours making it seem more attractive. Coupled with his dark clothes, thise bright flowers looked mesmerizing.

''Firefly, let's go for dinner.''

And so, taking advantage to the surprise his words brought her and those around her, Qi Longwei placed the bouquet of flowers in Li Zhilan hands and picked her up princess style. Ofcourse he also carried her out of her house. Only then could Li Zhilan really comprehend what had happened and what was happening.

He had carried her out of her house.

He was still carrying her.

What the hell!?

''Let me down.'' Li Zhilan struggled in Qi Longwei's arms. She flapped her legs like a diver in the ocean but to no avail. So she hit his chest but instead of loosening, the grip around her tightened but it wasn't tight enough to be able to make her feel the pain.

''You better stop acting like a fish out of the water and hold on tight.'' Qi Longwei's cool voice sounded as he looked down at her, meeting her eyes right away.

''Then you better let me-"

''If you fall, my heart's going to hurt.''

Due to that unexpected and out of a sudden flirting, Li Zhilan couldn't say anything and just kept quite. she even brought her arms around his neck as if she was really afraid she would fall.

Seeing the rarely obedient little lioness in his arms, a soft smile bloomed on Qi Longwei's lips.

The cool and handsome president was smiling softly while carrying an angle like girl in his arms. His black suit acted as the perfect background for her sweet casual black leggings and a navy blue oversized jumpers. While he wore a pair of formal shoes, she had on a casual home shoes. He, in his elegant dress up held her in her comfy clothings. And the bouquet that was now placed on the stomach of Li Zhilan completed the picture perfect senerio infront.

Of the charming prince and an angel.

While the two of them walked out of the house, out from a dark corner, there was a flash of light. Immediately, the person behind the camera hid behind the building with the camera clutched tightly next to his rappidly beating chest. Sweat dripped down his forehead and temple in the not so warm night.

'That was close.'

The moment the two of them reached next to his car, his assistant Qi Yi, opened the door to the back seat. After Qi Longwei carefully placed Li Zhilan inside like an expensive porcelain object, he himself entered. Then out of no where, he picked up a warm white fur coat and gently helped Li Zhilan put it on. Assistant Qi Yi, who already knew that the level of patience his boss had towards Li Zhilan was high, he didn't know it was this extraordinary. Even he, who had seen all his boss's sides were shocked. Forget about those who didn't. If anyone else had seen this scene, he was damn sure that that person would have fainted. Atleast he didn't. He could even drive.

Yes, he was better than those ordinary folks. Much better.
