Just Tell Them To Spare Me From Their Puppy Infatuations, That Will Suffice.

"You should have seen his face, poor boy! Xixi, what can guys do for you? What will it take for you to accept someone? You know, as your best friend, people might come to me for advice." Song Ah Lam giggled, as she asked.

"Just tell them to spare me from their puppy infatuations, that will suffice."

"One day, you will fall head over heels in love with someone like those soap operas. Xixi, you are already a cold and aloof kinda girl, if you happen to marry a CEO like those drama series, with paralyzed face, just imagine the babies you guys will have! Those cute munchkins with a cold expression which screams 'Hate human interaction' are so cute!"

Song Ah Lam laughed heartily with an evil expression, "I will hug them tightly despite their reluctance, and wet their chubby cheeks with smooches! They will try to run away from me, but I will chase circles with them, and hug them again!"

"There is no such day called oneday." Tang Xi returned Song Ah Lam's laughter with a wink and a laughter of her own.

She actually found Song Ah Lam's description of her future kids very funny.

Lu Yunsheng had some work piled up, so right after returning from a business trip, he went back to the company and entered his office, before hanging his coat at the back of his posh chair.

The room was spacious with a floor to ceiling wall made of bulletproof glass facing the bustling city.

The long rays of the setting sun shot through the glass wall into the room, conferring a sense of stillness and spaciousness to it.

Lu Yunsheng sat in his posh chair, holding the laptop in front of him. His countenance was somewhat beaten, after a fifteen hours long flight, then two hours long meeting in a hotel, it had taken a toll on him.

However, two minutes didn't even pass, when his concentration was broken by the sound of his phone. With a slight frown, Lu Yunsheng picked up his cell phone, and he saw some popped up messages, but didn't reply to any of them. Keeping the phone aside, he went back to his work.

It was Mu Jiaying, Lu Yunsheng's mother. For the last four months, she had been pestering him by sending biodatas of god knew how many girls. None of them lived up to Lu Yunsheng's criteria, yet his mother wanted him to settle down with someone. According to her, his demand was unreasonable, and such a girl didn't exist.

Heh! Lu Yunsheng knew that, and that was the reason he demanded that in the first place.

However, yesterday Mu Jiaying suddenly called him, and said they found exactly the type of girl Lu Yunsheng wanted.

Did they fake her information and thought he wouldn't find out?

Mu Jianying's incessant phone calls didn't allow Lu Yunsheng to complete his project. Irritated, he closed the laptop lid with a thud, and belled his assistant.

"Mr. Lu," Fu Zemin knocked the door lightly, then entered.

"Did you investigate the girl I told yesterday?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

"Bring it now."

Just as, Fu Zemin left, the cell phone kept on the table began ringing again.

Lu Yunsheng hesitated to pick up the call, but on the last ring, he did. The minute he did so, his mother's voice blared out of the phone.

"How many times did I call you? Why weren't you picking it up? We have found the girl, fulfilling your every demand. What is stopping you from getting married now?"

Fu Zemin came back within a few seconds, as his room was adjacent to the CEO's office.

Lu Yunsheng pinched the space between his eyebrows with his long slender bony fingers, then said, "Ma, I will call you back after ten minutes."

Hanging up, he extended his palm and waved his fingers twice, asking for the file Fu Zemin was holding.

Lu Yunsheng was stunned, at first thinking that his eyes had started malfunctioning after two sleepiness nights, thus, he went through the file again. However, after the tenth round of reading, he was still seeing the same information.

How was it even possible? From 5'10 height, snow white skin, black silky hair, Beijing topper, prestigious university, renowned family, every single detail fell into his criteria! However, Lu Yunsheng just mentioned these qualities to make things difficult for his grandfather. In reality, he didn't have any intention to marry anyone.

The atmosphere in the room tensed, to the extent it became suffocating.

"Fu Zemin, did you join hands with my grandfather?" Lu Yunsheng's face was grim, as an uncontrollable temper rose in him.

Fu Zemin trembled on his shoes, his forehead broke in a cold sweat as he stammered while answering, "I will never dare to, Mr. Lu. What you told me on my first day, got etched into my bone. I will always be loyal to you."

Lu Yunsheng threw the blue file in his hand, scattering all the papers across the room. "Who investigated it?"

"The one, whose capability you trust most, The Yellow Tiger."

Fu Zemin didn't dare to look at his boss's dark face, he nearly flinched, afraid of what might come on his face.

Yellow Tiger was a codename of one of Lu Yunsheng's ex-comrades. Being perfectly cognizant that he would never betray him, Lu Yunsheng frowned, running a hand through his hair, a clear sign of his frustration.

Later on, in the evening, Lu Yunsheng was standing in his office looking through the glass wall down at the city. His eyes went dark and his forehead frowned.

Where did this girl pop out from! Her very existence felt bane to him.

It was half past eight by the time Tang Xi reached in front of a big mansion building's entrance. The sky was pitch black and tiny fragments of snow were falling; the arrival of winter was near the door.

The entire mansion was quiet. Other than a single light in the living room, the rest of the place was shrouded in darkness.
