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

Because of her sudden presence, the other two people were flustered because they were standing very close to talk.

"Ah sorry sorry! Miss Luo has forgotten her file here earlier. I just came to pick it up." Pan Er Jiu took the file from the conference table and intended to rush out in a hurry but Madam Wang stopped her.

"Girl, from next time, remember to knock before you enter a room. Understand?" Madam Wang took her purse and brushed past Pan Er Jiu. She was displeased. 

Luo Tiankong also shot her an old stare as he followed the other woman.

"... Yes. Sorry for my abrupt behaviour. It was thoughtless from my side." Pan Er Jiu bit her lip and nodded. 

"It's good that you know. Or else, in the future, you may get in trouble with other people. Not everyone is as magnanimous as me." Madam Wang's words sounded normal but Pan Er Jiu felt the obvious sarcasm. 

Nonetheless, She nodded her head faster this time and stood still in her place until the other two left the room.

Only then Pan Er Jiu left in a hurry. When she was walking through the general area, someone blocked her path.

It was a lady with a black office suit. She examined Pan Er Jiu from head to toe and asked, her voice was filled with impatience, "Where is Zhao Yichen? How come you are Luo Lixi's new assistant?!" 

It was Luo Minwei, Luo Tiankong's daughter who had a hidden crush for Zhao Yichen. This woman had a hidden liking to the men whose personality was cold and aloof yet considerate.

"I.. I don't know." Pan Er Jiu wanted to walk away but Luo Minwei grabbed her hand and used so much force that she flinched but the other person asked as if she didn't notice her painful expression, "How can you not know?! He is…"

Right at that moment, Madam Wang and Luo Tiankong came. The old man immediately called her out, "Minwei, didn't I tell you to wait for me in my office? What are you doing here?"

"Dad, I…" Luo Minwei loosened her firm grip on Pan Er Jiu. The latter took this chance to leave.

Luo Tiankong motioned to her, "Shut up. Follow me." 

Thus with reluctance, she could only follow her father in his chamber. Deep down in her heart, Luo Minwei felt endless resentment towards Luo Lixi as if she was the one who wanted to separate her sweetheart from her.

After entering, Luo Minwei dropped her body on a random seat and didn't say anything. Neither madam Wang or Luo Tiankong paid her any attention.

These two people's behaviour made her more frustrated.

… ...

After Pan Er Jiu entered Luo Lixi's office room to send the file, Luo Lixi lifted her head and asked while frowning, "Why did it take so long just to get a single file?"

Luo Lixi couldn't start her next work without finishing this one. For them, every second was priceless yet sometimes, wasting several hours was nothing…

"I… I forgot the way back." Pan Er Jiu mumbled. In no way would she tell the things that happened a little bit earlier.

"Oh, I nearly forgot, it's your first day. How is the environment here?" Luo Lixi prompted her chin on her right palm while her other hand tapped on the file. 

Currently, she was checking the funds of the company. Her eyes hurt just from counting those long rows of zeros. 'There is no problem here. Why did grandfather tell me to check the funds?... Does he suspect that Lixiang has stolen money from the company?'

Her eyebrows creased into an ugly frown as she sat straight and began to check the contents with utmost importance. Pan Er Jiu didn't stand anymore and turned around to leave. 

Even after checking the page for one long hour, Luo Lixi didn't find any errors. Thus she called Pan Er Jiu and gave her the file while her voice sounded tired, "Check the fund's page and tell me if you find anything wrong."

"Alright."

After half an hour, Pan Er Jiu came back with the file. Luo Lixi became confused because the other party shook her head. She took the file and put it down in a hidden drawer. 

'What was grandfather thinking when he told me to check the data?' Luo Lixi thought as she got distracted. 

Pan Er Jiu put down a piece of paper in front of her and told her, "Here is a list of eight people. Please decide who will go to the capital city with us."

Luo Lixi's trance broke as she shifted her eyes to that piece of paper. With her slender fingers, she picked it up. Her eyes narrowed, "Why is aunt Wang included in this list? She also wants to go?"

"Umm… she told me to write down her name." Pan Er Jiu told her.

"... Why are there several other executives' names?! I will go there for business. What were they thinking when they gave their name?!" Luo Lixi was irritated by those names. 

Her fingers tore up the page and threw the pieces in the dustbin. Pan Er Jiu was speechless by her behaviour. When Luo Lixi saw her expression, she explained, "There is no need for it anyway."

The next second, Luo Lixi wrote three names on a paper and handed it to the other person, "These people will accompany us. You will also come, get it?"

"Yes." Pan Er Jiu nodded in understanding and picked the paper from the desk. "May I leave?" 

"Alright." 

After Pan Er Jiu left, she slowly closed the door. When the room turned silent, Luo Lixi remained silent for a long time. Then abruptly she slapped her palm on the desk and muttered, "There is so much work, I can't laze around anymore!" 

As soon as she thought, her two hands immediately became busy. She turned on the PC and took two files from the side.
