Lets eat first, I didn’t ask you out for nothing,
She smiled as she picked up her fork and knife.

Not for nothing eh, what is it? Be frank with me, don’t go beating around the bush.

This situation had him all flustered. Even his mood to eat was affected.
Lin Yazhi tried to pretend to smile naturally as she hunched forward across the brown table. She said with anticipating puppy eyes,
Then I’ll just be frank, Huo Li, be my boyfriend?

Huo Li was just lifting the wine glass up and his hand shook as he heard that, grateful that he had not drank it yet.



You…like me? No wonder you were picking on me.


No, you misunderstood me, I mean, to pretend as one in front of my dad and help me out with something. Once it’s done, anything you need help with, I’ll do my all!

She looked on pitifully as she clutched her hands,
Special Assistant Huo…

Huo Li was originally was gleeful but he could not longer smile now.

Who do you think I am? Pretend? Don’t even think of it, make it official or look for someone else!

For a thankless task that he would not even get to enjoy the benefits of being a boyfriend, he would be a fool to take it.

….

Lin Yazhi, being the simple girl that she was, was not able to discern the hidden meaning in his words and was confounded.
And the situation became awkward.
Huo Li stared at her as she sank into deep thought and whispered,
Feeling wronged with him or something?



On the way back, Lin Yazhi was silent all the way as she drove.
She really could not figure it out. Huo Li could have just rejected her right away but why did he said to make it official. Was he really interested in her?

Ducky, I’ll be in my office, come look for me when you think things through.


I…

She looked on as Huo Li left, what was that smirk at the edge of his mouth for?
Did he pick that up from the CEO?
Lin Yazhi’s mind was all over the place that afternoon and could not focus on her work.
Huo Li too was the same but he was wondering why Lin Yazhi had not come looking for him yet.
After bickering with her for almost four good years, his affection towards her had only grown and now he was at that age that he was thinking to settle down.
That night, Lin Yazhi got a call from her father and submittingly came home.


She buried her head as she ate over on the large dining table. Mr Lin was his usual imposing self.
His gaze swept past her and asked,
So what are your thoughts?

Lin Yazhi shrugged and grumbled in her heart. She knew that he had only called her back for this!
She pursed her lips as her mind ran wild. Feeling that her father’s gaze was getting sharper by the moment, she put down her bowl.

Dad, I actually…have a boyfriend!

Three pair of eyes immediately turned towards her and asked in unison.
Who?


Huo Yunting’s special assistant, Huo Li. I had worked at Thunderbolt for so long now and we get along well, so we hooked up naturally. I never told you guys because I was worried that you might object…

After being forced into this corner, she had ran out of ideas and could only rely on Huo Li.
If it is going to be official so be it, if not, they could break up after this charade is over.

Huo Li,
Mr Lin looked at her,
Why didn’t you say so and why you think I’d object to it?




All of you are much more concerned about me marrying than I am, now that I’m dating on my own will, and if that doesn’t sit well with you, of course you’ll object. As for the marriage proposal…

She shrugged,
I really cannot do it and both of your candidates have women of their own.
