"Is there a probability of the photo going viral , brother ?", the girl held onto her brother's arm worriedly.

"I can't do anything about that , Kiddo. The photo was mailed to all the other media studios too. You both will be in the headlines by today evening for sure.

"Anyway , I will pull this off all the channels soon. You trust me , don't you ?", Mo Zixuan replied , rubbing the girl's head tenderly.

The girl simply nodded her head with a sigh. Of course she trusted him. He was , after all , the Media Magnet Mo Zixuan for a reason.

"Just take care of this till I discuss the matter with the Prime Minister and President , brother.", the girl said ,"I am the Military Chief of the Country X. Yet , I decided to manage Rong Corporations. It was already a challenge convincing the ministries of my ability to handle the pressure."

At this time , Xi Yuan placed the girl's both the hands into his warm ones before he looked into her eyes earnestly ,"Should I keep distance from you for the next few days , Xinghe ?"

"Huh ?", the girl frowned ,"Why would you do that ?"

"I can't let our relationship affect your professional life , sweetheart. Most importantly , you need to give it a proper thought before going public about 'us'. We won't be able to avoid paparazzis for too long if they sense something like that. This involves the Xi family and the Superfamily as well. They will be bothered by the journalists too. Just think about it.", the man explained.

The girl remained silent for sometime before she nodded her head ,"What do you want ? You want to keep it under the covers ?"

"I don't mind going public. No one would dare to question me even if I do that.", the man shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly ,"And I don't mind boasting about my amazing girlfriend. But I love this privacy too. This time is 'ours'. This is about you and me. And no one has the right to intrude that. So at the end , it is completely your call."

"Boasting about your amazing what , Mr. Xi ?", Mo Zixuan crossed his arms , glaring at the man beside him.

"Umm... sorry.", laughed Xi Yuan awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

Rong Xinghe couldn't help but laugh at the hilarious scene unfolding in front of her. Was this how it was going to be like from now on ? The six men torturing him like this ? That would be so much fun to witness !

"Fine. I agree with the privacy thing. But I won't allow the media to hinder us from strolling around. I love to interact with the general public , Yuan. Moreover , we can't keep hiding like this always. We will live our lives like no one is watching. Let people assume whatever they want. Ok ?", the girl came to the conclusion after few minutes of deep thoughts ,"And don't you dare to think of staying away from me again. That was such a silly idea !"

Xi Yuan smiled wryly at the girl before he glanced at his phone and nodded his head ,"As you wish , darling."

Rong Xinghe could obviously feel that the man was hiding something from her. But she couldn't point out exactly what it was.

"Is everything fine , Yuan ?", the girl asked.

"Of course.", the man nodded his head and hugged the girl tightly before he planted a soft kiss against his forehead ,"I need to leave for the office now. Don't worry about the breakfast. I will eat something there. Bye !"

"Bye...", the girl smiled , pushing away her doubts at the back of her mind. Maybe she was the one thinking too much. There must be some important business matter occupying him , she thought.

11:00 a.m. , Xi Corporations :

"How is it going , Ms. Fei ?", as soon as he reached his office , Xi Yuan entered his project manager's room , pulling off his suit.

"No progress yet , Sir.", a lady in neatly ironed grey skirt suit stood up from her chair , as she showed her laptop screen to the man ,"But don't worry. It is a normal problem. Business rivals often pull tricks like these."

"This is the seventh case coming from Mexico , Ms. Fei.", Xi Yuan shook his head in denial ,"Xi Corporations has been funding these government schools for the past nine years now. How come students are suffering through serious diseases like food poisoning and type two diabetes all of a sudden ? There must be something wrong with the food the company has been providing , right ?"

"Sir... as you said , it has been nine years since we are doing this. How can the problem arise suddenly ?", the project manager asked ,"Lets just ask the people over there to handle the matter."

"It isn't as easy as it looks. Every life counts , Ms. Fei. And who knows when the matter might get out of our hands. If anything happens on the larger scale , the entire Xi Corporations will be affected adversely. Moreover , we can't just let the kids die.", the man pinched the space between his brows.

"Arrange for Mr. Wei to leave for Mexico by tomorrow morning. I would like for him to check the ground reality. We can't figure out a quick solution from Country X itself.", said Xi Yuan as he rubbed his face , exhaustedly.

"Relax , Sir.", at this time , the woman smiled genuinely at the man ,"I will explain the situation to Third master Wei , right away."

No matter how emotionless this man seemed to the outer world , he was a very thoughtful and compassionate person. He was simply beautiful , inside out. Had it been the loss of millions of dollars , he wouldn't have stressed out so much about it. But just because this matter involved the health of a few students , he was trying his best to solve the issue.

"Nope. You relax.", Xi Yuan shook his head , pointing his chin towards Ms. Fei's lower stomach ,"A five month pregnant lady shouldn't be even working. Yet , you keep insisting."

"Sir... I am a divorcee. So I have no one to go home to. And I have to earn for my family. Most importantly , I love working under your guidance.", the woman smiled as she placed her palm over her protruding belly.

"Not under me.", smiled the man ,"Alongside me. We are a team , Ms. Fei. And I really can't do anything of your stubborness. Anyway , I have already ordered the architects to shape the fourth floor of our headquarters into a childcare floor. Just go and tell them where you want to place the crib for the 'new little employee' of the Xi Corporations."

No wonder the entire staff of the Xi Corporations worshipped this man... He was worth it !
