Chapter 326: You must not provoke me

While Tang Li was cleaning herself up inside the washroom, Si Xiu came back to Li Yu with a wide grin on her face.

Li Yu eyed the woman strangely, "What is it?" Initially, he thought she was a delicate and innocent woman who was stuck with a demoness like Tang Li but after he saw her pulling stunts, his world views turned around.

"What?" Si Xiu asked back in confusion.

"What are you smiling for?" He did not have a good feeling about this. Staying with a woman like Tang Li had made him cautious than he already was.

"Can't I smile for no reason?" Si Xiu rolled her eyes. Of course, she was happy because she managed to sneak away and get her cousin-in-law's current location. Although she did not walk inside to avoid risks, at least she did not lose track of them. But she was not going to tell Li Yu about it, the man would probably get a heart attack.

"Let's go," They turned around to look at Tang Li who walked towards them.

Li Yu frowned as he thought, something was strange. The woman entered the washroom like an abandoned puppy but she was coming as if she owned the whole world? Did something happen in the washroom that he was unaware of?

"That is not the way to exit," He frowned at the direction both the women were walking in.

"And who told you that we are looking for the exit?" Si Xiu turned around to look at the man before winking seductively.

Li Yu pursed his lips as his face turned red, "Wait, what do you mean?"

Tang Li paused as she turned around, "I'm going after him. If you want, you can come with us, or else you are allowed to leave."

Li Yu's gaze darkened as he walked towards her, "President does not want you to follow him. Why can't you be sensible for once? You are the one to blame for the situation he is in right now. So, instead of clinging to him, can't you let him have some peace? What an unreasonable woman you are! Can you at least have some dignity?! Your identity has already created enough problems for him, would you only stop being troublesome to him once he dies?"

'Pak!'

Li Yu froze as his face twisted to one side because of the impact of the hard slap, he raised his hand towards his face when he felt that burning sensation on his cheek. He looked at Tang Li in disbelief.

Tang Li coldly looked at him, "Just because I'm tolerating you does not means you should have the audacity to run your mouth in front of me," She slowly walked towards the man, her back ramrod straight, her chin slightly raised, a strong aura emanating from the woman as she spoke, "You are his right-hand man so he was being lenient to you by demoting you to be my bodyguard. But to me, you and your existence is nothing. One snap… And you will disappear from the face of the earth. You would not want to provoke me, would you now?" Her voice threateningly low.

Li Yu felt his hand tremble for a moment as he looked at that cold pair of eyes. His head lowered on the instinct as he avoided looking into her eyes like she was a highly revered queen.

There was something about her aura, something about her presence that almost made him want to kneel in front of the woman.

No matter how rude he has been with her, she never once slapped him or behaved like this.

Lately, he was even thinking that the woman was simply a pushover who only knew to get what she wants by threatening acts. He was disgusted by her for seducing his boss.

So what if she was the CEO of Ash Corps? With the help of Tang Family and business prodigy Tang Cheng, it was not impossible for her to get the position. So what if she was the heiress of Song Family? In the end, she was just a wallflower who bewitched his boss with her beauty.

But right at this moment, he felt his assumption slowly crumbling down. Her slap was enough to get him back to his senses. Her words…he knew her words were not an empty threat. 

Si Xiu looked at her cousin in a daze. This was the demoness that they talked about. The queen of business world was indeed ruthless and domineering behind her calm façade!

Tang Li did not spare him another glance as she turned around to look at Si Xiu, "Lead the way."

Si Xiu snapped out of her daze as she frantically ran ahead of them. The slap was so hard that even she herself felt her cheek stinging in advance. 

'I'm keeping my identity a secret from her. What if she got infuriated when she knows and slaps me like this? No..No..My cheeks are delicate. I can't bear to have a scar on my pretty face. Uncle, you must forgive Xiu'er,' Her eyes shone with determination as she decided to come clean to Tang Li to avoid getting slapped.

Inside the private hall.

"President Mo, you left the lady outside just like that? Isn't it rude of you?" Ethan Allen spoke with amusement as he eyed the man.

Mo Yuhan was leaning back on the onyx lounge chair, the top buttons of his black shirt were unbuttoned as he raked his fingers through his hair which has now turned messy, making him appear sexier.

The man was the same iceberg as usual but somehow the vibe around him was so different.

Mo Yuhan could still feel his heart thudding in his chest at the thought of what Tang Li did outside. What a stubborn woman!

Just at the thought of her, his body stirred up once again but right at that moment, Ethan mentioned Tang Li. 

Mo Yuhan narrowed his eyes, "It's better if we talk about work."

Ethan smiled, "I want to talk about that lady, you've got problems with that?" It was fun to poke the man since it was very rare to see the great President Mo ruffled like this.

Mo Yuhan pursed his lips as he coldly glared at the man.

Ethan sighed, "You're no fun. Fine, let's get back to work. I have already sent my men to retrieve the second piece of the map that was supposed to be here."

Mo Yuhan nodded as the man continued speaking, "But…"
