Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Ji Yanli just exited the CEO's room. She glanced behind her as a dejected sigh left her lips. 

There wasn't any third soul on the corridor. As she glanced around, she didn't find Wang Haixiao.

"I told him to come with me yet… He broke his promise!" In an extremely low key voice, that was suppressing her anger, Ji Yanli muttered to herself. Her eyes glanced at the tree pot beside a wall.

When she remembered there was a hidden camera, the lady changed her face and recovered her composer. Then she strolled away and soon reached her office room.

There she saw two men but Wang Haixiao wasn't one of them. She closed the door with the back of her heel and asked, "Where is he?"

"He?" Zhou Lei glanced around and asked, "Haixiao? He went to the conference room." 

Ji Yanli didn't say anything and turned around to leave the room. Then in less than one minute, she went there but in the big conference room, there wasn't anyone either. 

"Agh! Where is he?! I kill him if I get him." Ji Yanli closed the glass door and glanced around. When she thought of calling him, she remembered that her phone was in her bag.

When she intended to go to her room again, she saw a staff member coming towards her way. 

Ji Yanli tucked a lock of herring hairs behind her ear and walked towards the man slowly. 

In a pleasant way, she asked, "Ah Qin, have you seen Haixiao?"

"Miss Ji, I think he went to the terrace. When I was coming down, I saw him stepping out…" The man politely answered. 

"Ah… is that so? I will leave then." Both of them nodded at each other. When the man left the area, Ji Yanli quickened her pace and started to walk fast. 

After two minutes, she finally reached the terrace. Ji Yanli swept the area. She felt that the man might not be there as well.

There, many small tables and several pairs of chairs were placed into a very beautiful flower shape. While several trees were there.

Beside one of the tables, she saw the man. He was busy reading some papers. A glass of green tea was beside him. There wasn't another person in the entire place.

The weather was still and the sky was cloudy. Ji Yanli stared at him from above. Then she went down the stairs and slowly approached him.

Wang Haixiao didn't even react when someone came behind him and without saying anything, placed his/her hand.

"Finally… you are hiding here." Ji Yanli tightened her grip on his shoulder. The man didn't make any noise. When she glanced at the paper, she was taken aback.

"This…" Ji Yanli took back her hand and asked, "Are you sure?"

After some seconds, Wang Haixiao lifted his head and glanced at her, "Yes. I am." 

After the man had finished reading everything, he picked all the papers. Then, he started to fill up all the information. 

Ji Yanli dragged one chair and sat beside him. As she saw him putting his information, she asked with hesitation.

"You, you had this plan since when?" Ji Yanli felt nervous. An unknown fear grabbed her heart tightly.

"From today morning." Wang Haixiao replied after he finally placed his signature on the last corner of the paper. Then he arranged them serially into a file and stood up.

When he saw her staring at his face, not happy at all, he asked teasingly, "What? Miss Ji wants to accompany me?"

He bent down and asked, "Why don't you come with me? We two are good students. It will be beneficial for our future if we get higher degrees."

As Ji Yanli was silent, Wang Haixiao straightened himself. The teasing attitude was long gone. "Have you forgotten what your father said? You aren't planning to work in this company for all your life, are you?"

Ji Yanli leaned back and watched his irritated face. She tapped on the table and muttered, "How can I?" 

She rose from her seat and said, while one corner of her lips was tugged upstairs, 

"... Let's leave together." 

Both of them stared at each other's eyes. Wang Haixiao finally smiled after a long time.

As both of them started to walk side by side, he asked, "Shall I help you to apply for a seat?"

Ji Yanli shrugged and said haughtily, "I don't need you. That university has also sent me an offer. I was just thinking yesterday night, should I accept it or not."

The man's lips twisted as he said, "You got it yet you didn't even bother to say."

"I thought it wasn't necessary. I wanted to dump the offer but now I have changed my mind." Ji Yanli murmured. 

Wang Haixiao shook his head and went ahead. When they were going back to their floor, he asked, "Have you already given your resignation letter to CEO Sheng?!"

Ji Yanli paused at whatever she was thinking. She turned at him and slapped his back. 

"You have said that we will resign together yet I didn't even see you there!"

Wang Haixiao bore her anger and asked, "So you are already unemployed?"

The lady pressed her lips tightly and spat out, "I am not. I don't want to be asked several questions. I will rather give Sheng Ruming my resignation letter and ask him to let me go. After all, I signed a contract to be his secretary, not the company's."

Ji Yanli paused and then turned at him, "Didn't we sign together?!"

"Yes…" 

Both of them looked at each other's faces. When the lift opened, they stepped out and returned to the conference meeting instead of their office room.

Then Wang Haixiao wrote a resignation letter and sent her. Both of them sent two emails to Sheng Ruming. Ji Yanli even asked, "Do you want to come with us? It will be beneficial for your face if you get more degrees, hehe!"

But those people didn't know that he was too busy to see their emails then. By the time he would see, they would become so impatient that they would go to Sheng Haotin instead.
