Entering the office after a knock, Yu Ming Lian abruptly stopped on her tracks upon realizing that there's another figure present inside.

"Hm?" Lillie averted her gaze from the window to see who entered. ​​

"M...Miss Bai, greetings." Yu Ming Lian tried her best to calm her nerves. What is the She-Devil doing inside the Devil's office?

Speak of the Devil, what on Earth happened to him? He was sitting at the guest/visitor's seat, emitting a depressed aura, it's as if he was terribly wronged.

As for Lillie, her domineering aura is prominent as ever.

Lillie hummed in acknowledgement upon Yu Ming Lian's regards. Yu Ming Lian had no idea that as soon as she entered, Lillie's eyes has been analyzing her non stop. If she knew, she'll be a complete mess because of anxiety.

It's like being asked by your teacher to recite your essay to the whole class without the copy!

Hmm...It appears this future husband of mine have a thing for aloof and poised women.

If Ethan had the power to read minds, this thought will surely make him spurt blood.

My wife, please give me a break! It's merely coincidence! Who wouldn't like aloof and poised employees?! Plus, you're the only aloof and poised woman I love!

"Mr. Song and Mr. Tang had left the premises." She briefly informed. She wanted to leave quickly before her legs give up. Yu Ming Lian cannot believe that the woman she looked up to since she was a mere teenager was standing in front of her.

They are of close age and yet their gap is like heaven and earth. While Yu Ming Lian was enjoying singing karaoke with her friends, shopping for clothes, make-up and accessories when she was sixteen. Lillie had already familiarized herself with managing White Phoenix Empire and became its acting CEO.

This powerful woman isn't like the rumors and the media said she was. She's not an ugly woman who's afraid to show herself to the public, rather a femme fatale that could bring disaster to men and women alike. If Yu Ming Lian was a man, she'll definitely put a ring on Lillie's slender fingers.

God must've carefully carved her with rare materials when creating her. He's been too bias towards Lillie and Ethan that normal people like her cannot help but bite their lips in envy.

"She is..?" Lillie gestured her hand towards the stiff woman. Yu Ming Lian flinched. Here she was daydreaming. She completely forgot to introduce herself!

"I'm Mr. Li's secretary, Yu Ming Lian. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bai." She mentally throw her fists up high when she didn't stutter. It must've been because Lillie is much like Ethan.

"Ah yes, I remember you. You called Elliot back then to talk about the collaborations. Well, everything has been cleared out. We already discuss about it long ago."

Yu Ming Lian was confused. Huh? Discuss about? When? She did remembered calling to WPE about the collaboration and also about the land Ethan gave her.

Lillie's secretary, Elliot said that her schedule was full and cannot have a meeting with them back then. When did the 'meeting' happened.

"Miss Bai, back then I indeed called your company and asked for a meeting regarding the collaborations, but when did..."

"We talked it all back home." Lillie bluntly replied.

"E-eh? B..back home."

"Lillie and I live together. She's my wife after all."

Whhhhhaaaaaaatttttttt?!

"Please reconstruct your sentence, Mr. Li. We aren't husband and wife yet."

"Oh yes, let me repeat that." Ethan cleared his throat.

"Lillie and I live together, she's my 'future' wife after all. Better?"

"Hm."

No it's not!
