Empress Of The Lost Kingdom Chapter 185
Advertisement
The moment Li Juan stepped out of the bathroom, her nostrils picked up the delicious aroma lingering in the air.
Due to the hard core work out sessions from previous night and following morning, she was dog-tired and craved to eat something,
She quickly changed into a knee length t-shirt dress and hopped into the kitchen like a baby bunny.
"It smells really good," Li Juan inhaled the aroma rising from the kitchen and beamed in happiness.
When her tingling voice laced in excitement resounded in the dining area, Lee Tae Yang who was busy arranging the table, turned around and was left mesmerized at the sight of Li Juan's smiling face.
The after glow on her face along with damp ink black hair imparted her a gentle and innocent look rather than her usual overbearing aura.
With her sharp and well defined facial features, she always gave off a vibe of a ravishing beauty who is capable of ruining nations and burning cities. However today, she looked different,
Watching his stupefied expressions Li Juan was confused for a moment,
"Is there anything smeared on my face?" She patted her face with a puzzled expression,
"No, no it just you look different."
"Look who is talking?" She chuckled and took a seat, "I've seriously started to think that you are not the same person I used to know,"
"Ohhoo...how was I ?" Lee Tae Yang crossed his strong arms over his chest and inquired,
"A soft spoken and caring gentleman," She said with devoting eyes,
"What about now?"
"An extremely shameless boyfriend," Li Juan chuckled and immediately covered her blushing face,
Seeing her embarrassed expressions, Lee Tae Yang softly smiled and ruffled her hair,
"Your first brother invited your extremely shameless boyfriend over for a drink,"
"Ah...first brother did mention about it last night..Since three of us are now staying in the same city, he just want to get together and party,"
The sudden door bell broke Li Juan's chain of thoughts.
"I will get the door," Li Juan said to him and walked towards the door.
It was Chen Da Meng with a few documents in his hands,
"Good afternoon... Miss Li..ah miss Bai," Chen Da Meng addressed her in a flustered voice. It was only yesterday that he got to know that his boss's girl friend belongs to the Bai family.
"Good afternoon, assistant Chen," Li Juan smiled warmly and tilted her head towards the kitchen and informed Tae Yang, "Please come in,"
As soon as Chen Da Meng entered into the penthouse, he was welcomed by the delicious aroma of food.
"Boss, I am really sorry to disturb you on your day off, but we need-"

Even before he could complete his words, Lee Tae Yang extended his arm with an indifferent face,
Chen Da Meng immediately handed over the documents that needs to be approved by CEO.
"Are you having a busy day at office, assistant Chen?" Li Juan who came with a glass of Juice for Chen Da Meng, asked the man who was looking at his watch continuously,
"No ma'am. It is break hours," Chen Da Meng replied,
While everyone at the head quarters was working overtime to close the year ending deals, their boss took a week off and resting at home. Since he was the only who have direct contact with the CEO, every single task at head quarters were handed over to him.
Not to mention that he had to skip his lunch to pay a visit to CEO's pent house.
"You must be having a difficult time," Li Juan said as she glanced at the man who was quickly signing over the documents.
"I told you there is no need to take a day-off, looking at your assistant, he has to come here on his break time,"
Hearing her chiding words, Lee Tae Yang stopped for a moment and glared at Chen Da Meng who was gulping down the juice.
"Am I interrupting your free time?"
Though it was supposed to question out of concern, Chen Da Meng could only recognize the intimidating aura emanating from his boss.
"No boss, not at all," He lied through his teeth. After appointing as the assistant of CEO Lee, there hasn't been day he could spend leisurely. His workaholic boss was torturing him.
"You heard him," Lee Tae Yang glanced at Li Juan and continued signing.
"Oh then... Assistant Chen, please have lunch with us,"
"Lunch!!!" Chen Da Meng looked at his lady boss as if he is seeing a deity,
How did she read his mind? He was hungry like a mamma bear and his lady boss came up with suggestion.
However when he met with Lee Tae Yang's cold eyes, the hair on the back of his neck stood up in fear.
Boss doesn't want me to join with them?
"He has to return to office as soon as possible," Lee Tae Yang said as he closed the documents. He was planning to have a lunch with Li Juan and how dare his nosy assistant is excited to join them?
"It is just a meal. It won't take much time," Li Juan argued and tried to persuade Chen Da Meng to stay.
"No miss Li...miss Bai...I will-" Even before he could refuse Chen Da Meng's stomach protested by letting out a growl.
"See, he is already hungry. Assistant Chen please come,"

Chen Da Meng sat on the sofa like a frozen statue.
"Yangyang!!!" Li Juan called him in a pleading tone,
"Stay," Lee Tae Yang ordered and walked over to the dining area.
The moment Chen Da Meng looked at the number and variety of the dishes present on the table, his jaw dropped in amusement.
It was like a buffet table with various dishes.
They were having a feast and no wonder his lady boss asked him to stay,
Even the plating of the food looked appetizing...
As soon as he ate a piece of meat, his eyes widened in surprise.
"It is really delicious, Miss Bai," He notified with a face full of smiles. "I never had such a tasty food in my entire life,"
Li Juan let out a low chuckle and glanced towards Lee Tae Yang who was filling her bowl with meat and vegetables.
"Assistant Chen, why do you think that I made all these?"
Listening to Li Juan's question, Chen Da Meng gaped like a gold fish and looked at his boss.
Don't tell me, it is made by the devil himself?
"You should have became a Chef, Mr. Lee..." Li Juan praised him while stuffing her mouth with rice,
She was really hungry and didn't even care about her image of Bai family's young miss as she gulped down the food like a person who has been starved for days.
"Is it that delicious?" He grabbed her hand which hold the chopsticks and feed himself with the piece of meat which Li Juan was about to eat,
"YES!!!" Li Juan and Chen Da Meng replied at the same time,
Lee Tae Yang smiled softly and wiped off the sauce smeared on Li Juan's lips,
"You look too thin, eat more,"
All of sudden Chen Da Meng regretted staying over for the lunch.
-----------------------
In the evening Li Juan and Lee Tae Yang visited Zhang Zhi Jun's pent house in the top floor of Sky castle.
When Zhang Zhi Jun confronted Lee Tae Yang about his relationship with Li Juan, he confessed everything and even informed them about the fact they are living together.
"Well, this calls for a celebration," Zhang Zhi Jun opened a high quality liquor bottle and poured it in three glasses,
"Where is mine?" Li Juan asked when she found that her brother didn't pour her a drink,
"Sorry, majesty...you are not allowed to drink," He said with a grin and gave her a glass full of milk,
"Why am I getting milk? I am not a child," She sulked and looked at other's glasses,
"I am really sorry...you get too spoilt whenever you drink. I don't want my brother in law to go through any trouble," Zhang Zhi Jun shrugged his shoulder,
"Brother in law? He is more important than me?" She asked in fake angry expression,
"I was wondering how you two became closer to each other?" Li Juan asked when she noticed the unusual friendship between her boyfriend and her cousins
"We just became friends when I came over to meet you in Yu palace," Lee Tae Yang replied without giving her a face,
"Really," She narrowed her eyes curiously.
Both of them were her suitors and somehow it was bit a weird to believe that they are friends.
As per the conversations she had with Zhang Zhi Jun, Li Juan was sure that her first brother had obvious romantic feelings for her despite the fact that he was officially her suitor.
"Yes, both of us are of same age. So it is natural that we get along well," Zhang Zhi Jun repeated,
However the three men in the room clearly knew that it wasn't the real reason.
As Li Juan's friend and personal doctor, the Yu palace's doors were open to Lee Tae Yang. However, the reason which made Zhang Zhi Jun and Lee Tae Yang, two men who had equal qualifications to become Li Juan's partner, become friends only because of their common enemy.
Once the clock struck ten, the couple left Zhang Zhi Jun's penthouse,
The moment they were left alone in the elevator, Li Juan pushed Lee Tae Yang who was leaning towards her.
"Don't even think about it!" She warned him with a pair of ice cold eyes. "Go back to your brother in law and hug him,"
"Hey...I don't swing that way," He said with a crafty smile and moved closer to her.
"You told your beloved brother in law to not serve any alcohol for me," She twitched her mouth and moved away from him.
"Why would I do that? It is better that you are under the effect of alcohol," He placed his hand on the escalator wall and trapped Li Juan between his arms,
"You are quite fierce whenever you become tipsy...you will become bolder...and turn into a sexy seductress and try to-" Even before Lee Tae Yang could say anymore, Li Juan pressed her lips on to him and locked in a fervent kiss.
At the same moment, elevator reached the basement level with sudden a jerk,
Ting!!!!
The elevator door slid open and Tang Wei Sheng's handsome frame stood erect in front of them.
