Chapter 203 I Like You

After Murong Xue left the research room, she went directly to the meeting room. She knocked on the door when she heard a voice inside. "Please come in!"

She gently opened the door and went in only to find that there were only two people in the meeting room. One was Huangfu Yi while the other was Long Yi.

Murong Xue was stunned, for she didn't expect that Huangfu Yi would also be here.

Long Yi had been suffering every second since Murong Xue said that she needed to talk to him about something. No one knew how many times he was glared at by Mr. Dragon in the meeting room.

"Miss... Miss Murong, what can I do for you?" He even started stammering, which simply affected his dignified image.

"I want to apply to join the current task of the first team of the Storm Force. I'm asking for your approval!" Murong Xue said. If she directly asked for the information about Laoda and the others, she wouldn't be able to get it. However, she could apply to join the team.

"No! The team of Dragon Doctor is not allowed to join dangerous missions. Besides, the mission of your team is to treat members of other teams." Long Yi refused without thinking. Loong Pavilion naturally had its own consideration for the assignment.

Murong Xue's eyes became glazed, "May I know what mission they are doing then?" It had been two weeks, but she still couldn't get through.

"No! The mission is kept secret!" After saying that, Long Yi took a careful look at Huangfu Yi.

"I got it. I'm sorry for bothering you!" Murong Xue bowed to him as a subordinate before she was about to go out.

Long Yi thought to himself, "D*mn! Why does Miss Murong just leave like this? Didn't she see Mr. Dragon sitting right here?" Long Yi then said slyly, "Wait... Wait a minute!"

Murong Xue looked back with confusion. "Is there anything else?" It wasn't that she didn't see Huangfu Yi, but his expression looked so cold that it seemed that he didn't want to see her. Hence, she wanted to get out as soon as possible so that she wouldn't annoy him.

"There's something... Yeah! I have something to talk to you about! Wait here. I need to get some documents." Long Yi made an excuse casually, not even daring to look at Mr. Dragon's face before he ran out of the room.

This time, he bet that Mr. Dragon would not want to cut off his hand. He just did a good thing. Although he truly wanted to eavesdrop on the door, he still left quickly because he didn't want to provoke Mr. Dragon. Fortunately, the meeting room was equipped with surveillance cameras. Therefore, he was about to go to the monitor room.

While search guards saw that the General was patting the wall and laughing wildly, they all made a detour.

In the meeting room, Murong Xue was still standing there. She could barely move. The two fell silent.

Murong Xue felt a bit embarrassed, her heart beating violently. She looked up at Huangfu Yi and found that he was staring at her coldly. She subconsciously looked away.

But she didn't notice the moment she looked away, Huangfu Yi's expression changed slightly.

"Yii… No. Mr. Dragon..." Murong Xue waited for a while without seeing Long Yi come back. She couldn't help but say something. She thought at least she should apologize.

Huangfu Yi thought to himself. "Mr. Dragon? When did we become so distant? She still looked happy when she saw me two days ago. Though I don't make it easy for her, it's only been a day. Does she change her mind again?" Huangfu Yi was feeling truly annoyed and displeased. His expression became colder, but he still responded, "Emm."

In the monitor room, Long Yi was about to slam the table madly. What happened to these two people? Weren't they supposed to be hugging and kissing passionately right now?

Murong Xue walked up to Huangfu Yi. "I'm sorry. I want to apologize for what I said the other day. I said you were annoying, but I didn't really mean it. I just hate myself like that."

"And?" Huangfu Yi's mood improved slightly, and he also sat more upright.

"And? Nothing else." Murong Xue remembered the girl she saw that day and the way he gently put up the girl's hair, which upset her.

Huangfu Yi was wearing a faint smile, but then it dissipated in an instant. "You don't have anything else to say to me?"

She wanted to ask who that woman was, but who was she to ask that?

"I... I..." Murong Xue blushed scarlet. She wanted to say that she liked him, but she couldn't utter those words.

Huangfu Yi stared at her, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

Long Yi gritted his teeth in the monitor room, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Come on! Come on!" He felt more excited than watching the World Cup.

After a while, Murong Xue finally summoned up the courage when Huangfu Yi couldn't bear it anymore. "I like you..." It didn't matter if he rejected her. She didn't expect that he would want to be her boyfriend.

Huangfu Yi couldn't bear it any longer and wrapped her in his arms. He had been waiting for her familiar smell and the feeling of hugging her for a long time.

Murong Xue's heart was thumping, her face burning.

The two simply hugged each other quietly and didn't speak for a long time.

Long Yi jumped up in joy almost instantly. Now he didn't have to suffer anymore.

"Yii, do you mean that you also like me?" Murong Xue raised her head and asked.

Huangfu Yi hugged her tightly again. "You silly girl!"

Murong Xue couldn't help but let out a smile, thinking that they should be in love with each other.

"Don't leave tonight. Can you stay here with me? I haven't slept well for a long time." Huangfu Yi kissed her forehead and said softly.

Murong Xue nodded shyly. She still found it hard to believe as if it had been a dream.

Huangfu Yi got up, took her hand, and walked towards his office together, which caused many guards to look at them in surprise along the way.

"Mr. Dragon, you're back!" Lin Xiaoqing greeted him as soon as she saw the door open. She was smiling as if she hadn’t minded the intimacy of Murong Xue and Huangfu Yi at all.

"Emm!" Huangfu Yi replied lightly, then took Murong Xue's hand, and continued to walk inside.

Murong Xue's body stiffened. She didn't forget this woman. When she looked at Huangfu Yi, he didn't seem to want to explain to her at all. She bit her lower lip, turned to look at Lin Xiaoqing again, and found that Lin Xiaoqing still had a gentle smile on her face, which made people feel comfortable.

Why wasn't she angry? It was as if she hadn’t seen Murong Xue at all. If Murong Xue was Huangfu Yi's girlfriend, shouldn't she be angry? Murong Xue suddenly didn't know how to react.

Lin Xiaoqing walked over, took the coat that Huangfu Yi had just taken off, and hung it on the hanger. When Huangfu Yi was sitting down, she naturally put the work documents that he had not finished dealing with today in front of Huangfu Yi. She then made a cup of fragrant tea. The whole office was instantly filled with the fragrance of tea. Even Murong Xue, who had been busy all day, felt a lot more comfortable.

Murong Xue saw that Lin Xiaoqing stood quietly behind Huangfu Yi with a smile after she had done all these. She was looking at Huangfu Yi gently with her bright eyes.

How would Lin Xiaoqing care about Murong Xue's relationship with Huangfu Yi? There were 1,000 women in the Loong Pavilion, all of whom were prepared for Huangfu Yi. If she cared about everyone's relationship with Huangfu Yi, she would be furious. They were indoctrinated since childhood. Mr. Dragon belonged to everyone. She didn't care if Mr. Dragon was with another woman. She would be fine as long as he still needed her.

Lin Xiaoqing already asked the servants to find out the identity of the woman brought back by Mr. Dragon. It turned out that she was merely a woman from a small place, which was not worthy of her attention.

Murong Xue was standing there and suddenly felt that she was out of her element in this place as if she had been like a redundant decoration. Lin Xiaoqing could always know what he needed simply by catching a slight change in his expression.

This kind of situation made Murong Xue feel suffocated.

As soon as Huangfu Yi saw the documents, he subconsciously frowned and began to deal with the work. In fact, he almost wasted a day for Murong Xue today, but some work could not be delayed. Hence he could only raise his head and say in a low voice, "Xue, you go to rest first. I'll deal with some work first."

He asked her to rest but let another woman stay there to help him. Murong Xue knew that she shouldn't be petty, but she couldn't restrain the jealousy in her heart. During this time, she wondered if he had already fallen in love with someone else.

Although Lin Xiaoqing didn't care, she still couldn't help comparing herself with Murong Xue. As she saw Murong Xue's stiff expression out of the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but smile faintly. With this strength, Lin Xiaoqing thought that Murong Xue didn't even have the qualifications to be a candidate for the position of Huangfu Yi's wife.

Seeing that Huangfu Yi was working intently, Murong Xue couldn't bear to question him. She walked to the sofa next to her, holding back her sadness and jealousy. She then picked up a book and wanted to divert her attention, but she found that she cared so much about it no matter what she did. When Lin Xiaoqing's eyes met hers, she realized that she actually held a book and watched them for two hours. Although they didn't act too close, they were incredibly harmonious.

It actually made her feel that they were a perfect match.

Actually, Huangfu Yi didn't notice Lin Xiaoqing at all. He only focused on his work, so he didn't notice who made the tea for him or brought him the documents. Besides, Lin Xiaoqing had been helping him organize some small things in the office since that day. He was almost used to it.

Murong Xue waited for a long time. Several hours passed, and it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. Huangfu Yi had no intention of stopping at all. In the beginning, she was unhappy about having a woman in Huangfu Yi's office, but now she merely sympathized with him. She couldn't help but wonder if he worked so hard in those days when she didn't pay attention.

She put down the book, got up, and walked over to Huangfu Yi. Even though she walked to his side, he hardly noticed. Or maybe he did, but he couldn't be distracted for the time being. He was still staring at a mass of data, tapping on the smart keyboard on the desk.

Murong Xue couldn't help it, so she reached out and grabbed his hand while Lin Xiaoqing was looking at her in surprise. Huangfu Yi frowned, turned his head, and was about to lash out. But after realizing it was Murong Xue, he swallowed the words and said, "What's wrong?"

Mr. Dragon didn't get angry as Lin Xiaoqing had expected. Lin Xiaoqing was so shocked that she couldn't believe that. She couldn't even touch Mr. Dragon at all. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she tried it before. After that, Mr. Dragon flew into a rage, and then she was forbidden to get out of her room for a week.

Murong Xue softened her voice. "It's time to rest. It's very late..."

"What time is it? I didn't notice." Huangfu Yi glanced at his watch. "It's actually two o'clock. Xue, why don't you go to sleep first? The room is next door. I still need to deal with my work for a while..."

Murong Xue hugged Huangfu Yi at once and said in a sweet voice, "I'm sleepy. Can you go with me?" At this point, she no longer wanted to ask things about Lin Xiaoqing. She only wanted him to have a good rest.

Huangfu Yi could never refuse her when Murong Xue behaved like that. She looked so enchanting. He stood up almost immediately, "Alright. Alright. I'll go with you."

The two walked into the next room together, and then the wall closed in an instant. Both of them ignored Lin Xiaoqing who was still standing there.

"That woman actually..." Lin Xiaoqing thought.

Lin Xiaoqing thought that Murong Xue was not a threat at all, but she neglected one thing, which was that Murong Xue was special to Mr. Dragon. If Mr. Dragon only wanted Murong Xue, then what was the point of these women who had been trained to be his wife since childhood?

It seemed that the plan had to be changed. Lin Xiaoqing secretly made a decision in her heart. Then she glanced at the wall that was now completely closed and walked outside. On the other side, there was a passage for her to go out. She never got a chance to enter that room. As Mr. Dragon's woman, she didn't have the right to enter. But a woman from outside actually got in, which truly embarrassed her.

After entering the room, Huangfu Yi directly took off his clothes. Murong Xue was so shocked that she moved away immediately. "What... What are you doing?"

"I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed. I've been working all day. I'm tired." Huangfu Yi said while taking off his clothes.

When Murong Xue saw that he had taken off all his clothes and only left his underwear, she blushed and turned around, stammering, "Okay... Go ahead..."
