When Murong Xue went out of the Space, the room was in complete darkness and the figure of Huangfu Yi could be made out sitting in bed.

"Yii..." Murong Xue whispered his name.

For an instant, Huangfu Yi pulled Murong Xue over who just flashed out of the Space and pushed her down to the bed. "What are you gonna do? Let go of me!" Murong Xue shouted with a sudden flutter after being pushed down.

Huangfu Yi said to Murong Xue with his hands touching her soft hair, "Do you know I felt like I was in hell when you were not being there with me?"

Looking up at him, Murong Xue found that when he stared at her, the darkness in his eyes flooded and ebbed. All that had left was such crystal purity that she could easily penetrate what he was thinking through his eyes. Suddenly, her heart beat fast.

"I... I was intended to go in for clues." Murong Xue said dully. After a pause, she continued, "Yii, I have found the entrance for time traveling."

Huangfu Yi held her tighter, "You stayed there for so long. Were you intended to go inside?" He spoke in a deep voice with sternness and pain.

Murong Xue answered him immediately, "But I come out right now!"

"But you hesitated! You wouldn't hesitate to go in if it weren't for other considerations." Suddenly, Huangfu Yi hugged her tightly.

What Xiao Keli said to him today got him jealous. What was more, knowing that she entered the Space again, his anger was replaced by panic instantly.

Murong Xue looked at Huangfu Yi in a daze. Her heart twisted by the complication underneath his eyes. "I..."

Huangfu Yi didn't understand why she could completely ignore his fears. He thought the time he spent waiting for her was so long as if there had been a poison without any odor or color invading his insides. He felt he was so insecure as if he had got bogged down and he couldn't get rid of it.

She thought of Huangfu Yi's considerateness. Whether she was missing or she felt disturbed or sad, he hadn't blamed her at all. Even after her parents disappeared, he just dedicated himself to helping her find them without any complaint and even kept comforting her...

Imperceptibly, Huangfu Yi turned out to be so perfect.

"Yii, I'll go in. They are my parents after all..." Murong Xue's eyes became red and she continued, "But I will try my best to find a solution. I swear I will inform you before I enter it. Please don't look at me like that. Or I'll be sad. You know I love you..."

Huangfu Yi hugged her and kissed her passionately...

His kiss was inexperienced with his instinctive frenzy but the passionate kiss didn't hurt her at all.

Murong Xue couldn't help stretching her arms and lifting up to wrap his neck. Her heart was full of joy. Only if they had spiritual connections could they kiss each other so affectionately.

They kissed for so long that they forgot time passing and then Huangfu Yi ended the kiss slowly but their saliva connected each other's lips, which made Murong Xue so bashful.

Seeing her turning so shyly that she seemed to find a chink to infix, Huangfu Yi couldn't help laughing, "Xue..."

Murong Xue trembled with excitement and hugged Huangfu Yi tightly, "Yii, whatever happens in the future, I will try to hold your hand all the time..."

"Okay!"

They seemed to make a pledge. At this time, they felt their hearts clung to each other so tightly.

After getting up, Huangfu Yi was tackling his business and Murong Xue was about to go back to A province. At present, the disappearance of her parents left Murong Group leaderless and a few people were waiting for a chance to make trouble.

Murong Xue explained the whole thing to Huangfu Yi and then Huangfu Yi ordered Long Yi to escort Murong Xue as an attendant. Though Murong Xue told him that she had the Space and there was no need to ask for other protection, Huangfu Yi still worried about her.

After several hours, Murong Xue arrived at A province.

After appeasing the servants of the Murong Family, Murong Xue went straight to Murong Group. Though Murong Xue had never come to her father's company before, as the only daughter of his father, her appearance was already known to all the employees of the company. Therefore, people received her as soon as Murong Xue reached the company.

"Miss Murong, may I help you?" A clerk immediately stood up and asked her.

"Where is the office of the chief executive? Guide me there now!" Murong Xue instructed.

The clerk was a woman whose appearance was slightly above average. Though she was not much of a beauty, she looked quite comfortable. Hearing Murong Xue's order, she answered immediately in a respectful way, "Yes, Miss. Please follow me."

The reception clerk guided Murong Xue and Long Yi to the chief executive's exclusive elevator and went to the 22nd floor where the chief executive's office stood. The clerk guessed in her mind, "What happened to the chief executive? He was absent for a few days but Miss Murong who had never been to the company came here instead and there wasn't any news about it. How strange it is..."

Anyway, it was none of the business of employees like her. All she should do was to do her part well.

Murong Xue didn't say anything. Her parents suddenly disappeared, which might provoke much speculation in the company. Anyway, she would guard her parents' company. No one was allowed to make any trouble until her parents came back.

"Miss, the chief executive's office was here." The clerk said respectfully after she guided Murong Xue to an office.

Murong Xue nodded and said, "Okay, you can go now."

Murong Xue opened the door of the chief executive's office. It was big and there was a black sofa laying across the room on the left and the black marble desk looked much more luxurious. On the right of the room, there was a huge engraved shelf on which many premium wines laid. Behind the shelf, there was a room for rest.

"Long Yi, sit anywhere you like. I'm gonna deal with something." Murong Xue said to Long Yi who had been following her without saying anything.

Long Yi nodded and sat on the sofa next to him. He considered whether he was underemployed when Mr. Dragon sent him to protect Murong Xue. Besides, many people in Loong Pavilion had good fighting skills as him, but why was he chosen to do so? In this case, he was afraid that Mr. Dragon's work would be knottier...

She went to the desk and wanted to open his father's computer for a look, but she found that the password was needed, and the materials on the desk had been sorted out. Murong Xue sighed and dialed the office number of the chief executive's secretary according to the personnel directory next to the telephone, and the phone was answered just after one second...

"Come to the chief executive's office now!" Murong Xue hung up only after saying such a sentence.

Shortly afterwards, a knock came from the door. "Come in." Murong Xue said leaning against the chair with her arms folded.

A man, around 30 years old, came in. He didn't look surprised seeing Murong Xue here and still slightly bent in a respectful manner, "Miss, do you want to see me?"

Murong Xue looked him up and down without saying a word. After a while, she spoke indifferently, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Hong!" Lin Hong answered in a tranquil tone.

He proved himself to be the one her father picked. She had occasionally heard her father praise the secretary at home. Her father seldom spoke highly of someone, so the one who earned her father's praise must have his outstanding merits. She heard from her father that he picked up the secretary on the street. At that time, he clutched her father's clothes on the roadside. Out of responsibility or anything else, her father took him in anyway. He didn't take him to the house where the Murong Family lived but bought him a house outside instead, which was about 30 square meters. Besides, he allowed him to work in the company and even trained him specially.

Murong Xue had no problem with her father's decision. He was just a man. But he must be trusted much by her father since he followed her father as a teenager.

"Tell me how the company is now. Do shareholders have any reactions recently?" Murong Xue said.

Lin Hong pushed his glasses and said, "The company's operations are maintained, but since the chief executive hasn't come here for several days, it's inevitable to have rumors in the company. In addition, these days, the shareholders keep calling several times a day to ask for the whereabouts of the chief executive. I get rid of them with some reasons, but it won't work in the long run."

Murong Xue listened to Lin Hong's report carefully and at last she said, "Inform all shareholders to attend a meeting here at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Lin Hong nodded, "Got it. I'll get ready for it."

"All right, you can leave!" Murong Xue said.

Lin Hong bent slightly and pivoted around and walked out, but he stopped when he reached the door, "Miss, may I ask where the chief executive has gone?"

Murong Xue looked at Lin Hong's figure. His back was straight, but when she took a closer look, she found that his hands, which had fallen down were clenched into fists and seemed to tremble slightly. There was a flash of light in her eyes and then she said, "It's okay to tell you. Actually, I don't know, so I hope you can do your best to help me protect the company before my dad comes back."

Eventually, unable to maintain his composure, Lin Hong turned back and asked urgently, "What happened, Miss?"

Murong Xue didn't intend to say, but the whole thing would be open to the public sooner or later, and she couldn't hide it for a long time. Therefore, she said plainly, "You don't need to care about what happened. All in all, my dad will come back eventually." Her words seemed not only to convince Lin Hong but also to convince herself.

Lin Hong froze and finally went out without any word. In fact, he had long cherished the chief executive as his own father, but it was meaningless. He was nothing compared to Murong Xue. Just as Murong Xue said, he would do all he could to protect the property of the chief executive...

Long Yi had never had such a relaxed day, but inexplicably he felt uncomfortable. It was wrong to see his master busy working while he sat there drinking his coffee. Actually, he had already regarded Murong Xue as Mr. Dragon's future partner, the future hostess of Loong Pavilion in other words. Therefore, he was too carefree to be comfortable because he was accustomed to being abused by Mr. Dragon in the past.

Murong Xue was not in the mood to care for Long Yi's affectation because she was absorbed in the business of Murong Group.

After a while, she seemed to remember something and called Mo Ziwen for an instruction. Then she continued her work...

"Miss Murong, can I help you?" Finally, Long Yi couldn't help but ask her.

Rubbing her aching head, Murong Xue replied without looking up, "Yes!"

Long Yi waited for an order happily. However...

"Please sit anywhere else and don't bother me!" Murong Xue said.

Long Yi's happy face puckered immediately as if a piece of ice had been broken, and then he went to the corner and squatted down, feeling bored... These two were indeed couples, and both of them were so mean that his pure and fragile heart was already broken into ice dregs...

It was not until evening that Murong Xue closed the document. When she stood up, she felt her stomach was rumbling, but Long Yi was still depressed in the corner...

"Long Yi, what are you doing?" Murong Xue asked curiously.

Long Yi turned back, looking at Murong Xue gloomily. He bit his lip and seemed quite aggrieved.

Murong Xue froze. Just several hours passed by, what happened to him? And then she picked up the candy on the desk inexplicably, "Here you are. The candy is for you."

Long Yi caught it for some reason and put it in the mouth after unwrapping it. Suddenly, he snapped back to his senses, "Miss Murong, why did you give me candy?"

"Ah! Didn't you want candy?" Murong Xue asked with her innocent face, but the banter in her eyes was quite distinct...

What? Obviously, he was treated like a kid! He was the General indeed!

It was fine. He was unable to maintain his image in front of Mr. Dragon and Murong Xue. He comforted himself. Then he stood up, "Have you finished your work?"
