Luo Xiaolei had just left the campus. She was walking on the pathway with one arm holding a book. She was trying to decide which of the steps she should do next. Well, she realized that most of the steps in the book weren't fit for her situation. Furthermore, most of the steps written on there would take some time to execute.
She only had six more days left but she couldn't possibly wait until the due date. She couldn't trust her father and she couldn't risk the twin's physical and emotional safety. She would not let the twins stay under that man's house any longer than this.
Yu Chen was also one of the reasons why she shouldn't delay anymore. She didn't know whether he really wanted her or not. She knew nothing about his real intentions. She was worried that the devil prince might only be doing this for his entertainment and didn't actually plan to accept her proposal at all. This was why she wasn't going waste any more time and decided to just go full steam ahead. She needed to move now to see how he would react so that she would still have time left in case anything went wrong. This way, she could also switch to plan B, C, D or E, if required. She was just going to do whatever it took to make him accept her proposal as soon as possible.
Just you wait Devil, I won't let you reject me again! Hinari-sensei, please enlighten me!
As she scanned the book in her hand, Luo Xiaolei's gaze then fell on a certain step which she thought would be the best thing she could do in this situation. Luo Xiaolei's eyes fell on the words written on the page before her and she quietly looked up to the sky, seemingly contemplating something.
Afterwards, sparks appeared in her eyes and she brought out her phone. The advice written on the book was indeed perfect in every way. The author even emphasized the importance of executing the steps in a very special manner.
Unfortunately, Luo Xiaolei was out of time. She still needed to go back to her apartment and get changed. She was also unsure whether the ever-so-busy king of the business world would accommodate her if she went for this surprise. Thus, she could only go against the advice of this legendary author.
...
"Boss, she's on her way home now." Jiang Min's voice rang inside the moving car.
Upon hearing him, the godly figure dressed in a gorgeous, tailored suit, sitting like the big boss he was, simply glanced at the driver.
"Okay, let's go. We must reach the destination before her." He said and Guan Ye nodded as he accelerated the car.
In no time, the car finally reached the building where Luo Xiaolei lived. Yu Chen planned to wait for her and surprise her. He was supposed to wait until dusk but it seemed like Yu Chen was a bit wary now. It looked like he didn't want to be beaten by her for the third time.
Of course, his men could only support his decision 100% without question. They were very supportive not because of fear but because they somehow felt thrilled. Seeing their Yu Chen acting like this was like watching a heartwarming fictional movie. They felt as though the rays of the sun had finally reached their secluded, shadowed world. They didn't know if this would last or if it was just like an ephemeral rainbow, so why not support him and let him do what he wanted to his heart content?
As they waited for Luo Xiaolei to arrive, the men were all looking at Yu Chen with the silent words 'do your best, you can do it!' flashing across their eyes. They almost looked like they were uncles sending their beloved nephew to perform his great play on stage.
Time passed and Yu Chen started preparing himself. Any moment now, Luo Xiaolei would be arriving, so his men's anticipation was also at its peak. Yu Chen was fixing his tie, which he loosened up before the trip, when a beep echoed inside the quiet car. His hands halted as his brows slightly knotted because the sound came from his pocket.
He then slipped his hand in his pocket, brought out his phone and to his surprise, there was a message from 'My Little Thunder[1]'.
Yu Chen stared at his phone screen. For some reason, he was hesitant to open it. The second step of his plan was actually to personally invite her out for a romantic dinner date. He was supposed to do this step in the near future but because of Luo Xiaolei's quick moves, he decided he needed to fast forward his plans.
"The message is from her?" Gu Jinyang's voice reached Yu Chen's ears and his fingers finally moved. He opened the message and upon reading it, the almighty stone looked like it was struck by a thunder storm and was now cracking into pieces.
Gu Jinyang, who was sitting next to him, frowned in great curiosity so he leaned in to read the message. When he saw what was written on it, he too froze in place, leaving the others dying to know what just happened.
What happened?!!!
Little Thunder is Xiao Lei's name in english.
Xiao for 'little' and Lei for 'thunder'.
Yu Chen used the english meaning of her name.
