Raven Beauty: Devil's Only Survival Choice

"In the world full of choices, I have only you!" *** Excerpt: “Marry me!” At the commanding voice, Yun Meiyi turned around with a scowl. And there he was with a face sculpted by the best artists in heaven and a body designed to torture the most defying soul in hell, he looked like any male, she had fantasized about, while reading the romantic novels. But there was something in his impeccable beauty that cautioned her against him. As if it was the call of heaven asking her to reject him straight away. “Look for someone else, I am not interested.” She said and then turned away, finding his words meaninglessly arrogant. But just as she turned, his warning came teasingly, “Are you sure you want to defy me?” Her frown deepened as she turned to ask, “What’s so special about defying you? Are you a lord of some kingdom whom one can’t defy?” The man’s lips curled up in a devilish smirk that looked like a part of his nature. “Even better. I am the Prince of Darkness. The Devil of this universe.” *** She was a human... He was the Devil of the Universe! She was betrayed... He could be called anything that meant deceit! She was poisoned ... While his existence was on stake! Without their knowledge, their fates were intertwined. Making her, his only Survival choice!! ______________ Join the author on the discord server: https://discord.gg/88C4VZD Or connect on Instagram: author_scarlet_shine

Not making money is still fine, making loss isn't.

Yun Meiyi's words came softly but the disappointment it held in it was enough to pierce his soul. At once getting up, he tried to defend himself. "Meiyi, I know things went a bit out of the line but this isn't as bad as you think. We can fix this now that you are here."

"Not as bad as I think? Then what would be worse, Li Teng? Care to explain to me, please." Yun Meiyi's fists clenched but still keeping her calm at their best, she asked.

Li Teng knew he had spoken things in too much hurry. So, raising her hands to accept his mistake, he said, "Okay, I know. The fault has been on my side. But believe me, I didn't do it on purpose. I just failed to look over things properly. I believed people around too much and too easily."

He said and his words brought back the memories that Yun Meiyi got recently but she was trying her best to bury away from her thoughts.

Yeah! The most common mistake that any person could make in his or her life could be trusting people around. Not only was it unnecessary, but it was also foolish as well. She has made the same mistake and has taken the suffering. How could she be unaware of it?

Her expression changed as internally she scoffed.

When Li Teng saw her expressions changing like that, he was slightly taken aback. The woman he knew was all soft and demure. Although he never believed her to be just around just two personality features, he still never thought her to carry the sharpness of aloofness that she was holding on her face at the moment.

Not knowing the reason behind her such change in expression, he could only blame the disappointment she was having in him. "Meiyi, I understand what you have been worrying about, but we will be able to fix this soon. We will together …"

"If you have really been capable of fixing this, you would have done this before itself. Since you weren't able to, that means the matter has slipped out of your control. The reason could be your misjudgment or anything, it doesn't matter." Yun Meiyi said and her words like that pierced the guilt into his bones.

Li Teng felt himself crumbling inside. He aimed to prove himself in the eyes of this one woman, but except for disappointment, he could see nothing else in her eyes for him today. "What do you want me to do then? Should I …"

"I am not capable of punishment for the mistake which I, myself, am not perfect at. So instead of thinking about resigning from your position, think how you could make things better here." Before he could even voice his thoughts, Yun Meiyi was quick to put them off. "Li Teng, I have chosen you to be the President of the Feathering Heights. It's not for no reason. You hold the capability. So, stay here and help me fix this. I am sure, this wouldn't be tough with you around."

She said and the dimness in his eyes soon dissipated, bringing again the same illumination of hope that he once held in his eyes. "So, does this mean you don't blame me now?"

Yun Meiyi raised her brows but then shook her head, "That would not matter since even after pushing the blame on your shoulders I may not be able to make things right. So, let's not think about that. For now, we have to change things back." She said and understanding her words, Li Teng nodded.

"And you are not planning to fire the three straight away?" It was not tough to see through her ways. If she really wanted to fire them off, instead of coming on as a manager, she would have revealed herself to be the CEO of Feathering Heights. But since she abstained from that, it only meant that it was not the proper time.

Yun Meiyi nodded, "Mhm. This is not just about one person here. The whole company is involved in the mistreatment. And on top of that, two major faces of Feathering Heights are closely involved. Vice President, Wen Jiang, and the best manager of the company, Cheng Juan. So, if things get out, it could cause us losses. We won't make money, that's still fine, but the loss isn't. So, we have to take things accordingly. Furthermore, Wang Ping Ruo can't be left off the hook that easily."

She said as a tortuous glint crossed her eyes. How dare she think she would be able to work her way like that? And she even dared to bully Liu Si Si. Definitely, the days from here on wouldn't be easy for her.

Li Teng nodded. "Okay then, we would do as you say. Let me know my part among all this."

Yun Meiyi nodded and then standing up, she got ready to leave. "I will begin my work here tomorrow. Help me prepare a room."

"You already have one on the top floor." Li Teng said on instinct. But at his mention of that, Yun Meiyi turned to look at him with a smile as she corrected.

"That room is for the CEO of Feathering Heights, President Li. I am just a manager who will start working tomorrow. Do you think it would be wise enough for me to take the chair of the CEO?" She said, and Li Teng was taken aback by her smile.

Dumbfounded for a moment, he quickly shook his head and stood up. "I understand, I will prepare another room and will let you know," he said, easing the small waver of feeling he had at the back of his mind.

Yun Meiyi hummed and then left. Behind, seeing her finally leave, Li Teng took a deep breath in and calmed himself out. This would be going to be tough now that she would be around. He gave a mental reminder before pulling out his phone to dial a number.

"Prepare an office room for Manager Yun. She will be joining from tomorrow."
