Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 91

After fifteen minutes of driving, they finally reach outside Mo’s building. Both the men step out of the car, leaving the car in front, not bothering to park it. shoving the car keys inside his coat pocket, Zichen walks up to the glass door but is stopped by the guards. One look from him and both guards startles. He recognizes Zichen immediately and shows him the way inside. Rong follows behind him, trying to hide the anxiousness because they are in someone else’s company and they have barged in here without any informing. He doesn’t know what Shi Lian will when she finds them intruding in her company.

As he keeps on moving, the receptionist standing behind the slightly curved desk asks, “Sir, may I know if you have any appointment of coming here?” she knows he is Zichen but it’s her job to ask the questions no matter how big and influential the person is.

Before Zichen can open his mouth, Rong steps in and answers for him. “Miss Chairman called us and we are here to discuss business with her.”

“Oh, alright Sir. Let me tell her about your arrival” the receptionist says and reaches for the desk phone but Rong speaks up again.

“You don’t have to do this. We already informed her just a while ago.” Rong is good at making excuses and lying. He lost his counting how many times he has to lie like this just to save them from any awkward situation. Zichen watches him and smirks slightly. He is proud to have a manager like him.

The receptionist hesitates for a moment but nods and shows them the way to her office. Thanking her, Rong follows Zichen who is already moving ahead.

A sudden knock on the door makes Shi Lian looks up from up laptop. “Come in” she yells and she is expecting either Ruxi or the design team if they need any help but little did she know that behind the door is someone she is not at all expecting. She does not bother to look up but when the sound of boots touching the floor comes, she thinks it must be JJ.

She gazes up and to her extreme surprise, Zichen is looking at her, his eyes narrow, his lips drawn in a thin line and his hands shoved inside his coat pocket. She yelps and stands abruptly, blinking thrice as if she cannot believe what she is seeing in front of her. “What are you doing here?” she squeaks, her eyes moving to Rong who is standing behind, and giving her an apologetic smile.

“Rong, wait outside” Zichen orders and his manager exits the door, leaving the two of them alone. He then turns his icy gaze at her.

Her eyes widen up, making the glasses look small that sits on her nose bridge. She gulps down, fear rolling into her and she senses this is going to be bad.

“Why didn’t you pick my calls?” he demands, stepping forward. He looks so big and she feels like a tiny rat who is being captured by the hungry lion. She takes a step back voluntarily saying, “I-I was busy. I was going to call you after I was finished with my work.”

He keeps on inching forward and she keeps on taking a step backward until she is blocked by the desk behind her. Zichen keeps on inching forward and stops leaving no gap between them. “I was worried sick. At least you should have left me a message” he grits and continues, “You aren’t the only one who is busy Shi Lian.”

She finds his anger childish. She knows she should have returned his calls but him coming here and making a scene is not justified. She crosses her arms in front of her chest and scowls at him. “I said I was working. You don’t need to come all the way here and make a scene in my company.”

Zichen scoffs getting angry, “Don’t utter me making a scene here, Shi Lian. I was worried and I had no choice but to bring my ass here.”

“Zichen, this is childish” she sighs, slightly pushing him to stand and face him equally, “I am sorry, alright? But you cannot just barge in here every damn time! People will gossip.”

“Like I don’t know about that? Just for your sake, I have been holding myself.” He seethes. “After whatever happened to you, after that…I cannot help but get worried when you don’t respond to my calls.”

Shi Lian softens and reaching forward, she holds his hand, her palm with his big one. “I am sorry. I didn’t know about that. I’ll be careful next time.”

He sighs and looks down at their palms. “But you made a mistake and for that, you should get punishment.” His eyes gleam and a sly smile playing on his lips. Shi Lian senses he must be up to something.

“What punishment? I didn’t do anything wrong, alright” she protests, backing away.

He grins and says, “Oh but you said you are sorry.” Shi Lian shoots him a look and rolls her eyes. his grin falls and he approaches her. Snaking his arm around the back of her waist, he pulls her closer and she sucks in her breath. “I don’t like when someone rolls their eyes on me” he states, his hot breath hitting her upper lips. Heat covers her body and her cheeks warm up. He is too close and the urge to kiss him is growing more and more.

“Really? But I rolled my eyes several times in front of you, Mr. Fu” she says coyly with a smirk. His grip tightens around her and he is just one finger far from her mouth.

“Then you should know what happens when you roll your eyes at me” he whispers and before she can say anything, he hovers over her mouth. His tongue diving into hers, hard and urgent. She moans, kissing him back and all the tension earlier is now gone. He squeezes her ass and his other hand tangles in her free hair.

Catching for breath, she breaks the kiss and looks at him, gasping. He removes her glasses and sets them into his pocket, turning his eyes on her again. “This is how you punish when someone rolls their eyes at you?” she scoffs and she cannot stop the laugh escaping from her mouth, just imagining Zichen kissing everyone who rolls their eyes at him is hilarious.

“This punishment is only for you” he hisses and she stops laughing as he bites her earlobe. She squirms in his hold and a moan escapes her lips.

“Your panties are still at my house” he undertones and she blushes. Her eyes go wide and the memory of last night flashes in front of her. “Do you want your panties, baby?” seeing her expression, he feels satisfies and continues to tease her more.

“No,” she says, gaining some confidence. His eyebrows rise in amusement. “Keep it with you and when you feel lonely, remember what you did with my panties and how I looked in it.”

“You..” he hisses and Shi Lian smirks. She never thought she would talk something dirty like this but she likes it.

“Alright now leave. I have work to do” she turns around and reaching behind her desk, takes her seat. He stands there and laughs shaking his head. “What?” she questions.

“You never back down” he laughs under his breath, “always so savage with your words.” She smiles taking it as a compliment. Reaching to her side, he plants a forehead kiss, and her heart flutters.

“Take care and please return my calls” he begs and Shi Lian chuckles. He places her glasses on the desk and turns around to leave. Rong is standing by the door when Zichen opens it. “Let’s go. We are done” he says. Rong is relieved because his boss is now in a good mood and hopefully, he will not torture him and the others anymore.
