Chapter 3 I Want You to Carry Me Downstairs
- Jiang Xiaoxiao had simply stared back at the child, puzzled.
- Judging from his outerwear, this boy appears to be the son of a wealthy family.
- All aside, he’s managed to stir my emotions, with these indescribable feelings.
- It’s almost as if he were sizing up … something rare.
- Jiang Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
- An impatient Yan Yifei glared at the prince, asking angrily, “Who are you? Don’t you know that we have work to do? You can’t just enter into this office as you please!”
- “How noisy.”
- The little prince glared, exuding a cool, yet distant aura. Lifting a little finger, he pointed at Yan Yifei, “You! Clean the floor. Remember, USE. YOUR. HANDS!”
- Yan Yifei had thought that she had been hallucinating. She exclaimed in anger, “What did you say?”
- How dare he ask me to clean the floor?
- “Can’t you understand my simple instructions?” The little prince’s gaze had turned scornful, “In addition to being ugly, you happen to be stupid too! There is nothing much that I can expect from this company. I should really reconsider my choice on letting you guys plan my birthday party!”
- Yan Yifei was shocked. She didn’t expect this child to have a sharp tongue. Trembling with anger she yelled out, “Bastard, where have you come from? Haven’t you been taught manners? You should always respect your elders. You have got no manners at all, let me teach you a lesson!”
- Arms raised, Yan Yifei was ready to lay her hands on the little boy.
- Taken aback, Jiang Xiaoxiao had instantly rushed towards the child, hugging him instinctively.
- This little child is very young. How would he withstand her slap?
- Everyone was bewildered. The little prince was so cute, yet Yan Yifei had wanted to slap him!
- At that instant, the child’s bodyguards had stepped in, saying furiously, “How dare you! Who do you think you are? Capture her!”
- In the blink of an eye, Yan Yifei had been restrained by two bodyguards, who were standing guard on both sides.
- Everybody was left dumbfounded.
- Yan Yifei too, was in distress.
- She had never been treated in such a manner before, especially not under the watchful eyes of her subordinates.
- Enraged, she struggled to release herself, “What are you doing? Let me go!”
- However, she was heavily restrained, as the bodyguards had prevented her from even inching forward.
- Li Sheng, Zhuoyues Creative’s general manager, had immediately rushed over upon hearing the news. Eagerly, he reasoned “Bodyguards, please calm yourselves. My employee is too insensible. I’m terribly sorry for her misconduct towards the little prince. I hope that you can forgive her and release her from your guard.”
- Li Sheng was at the top floor of his office when he had received news of the little prince’s arrival. He had the intention of welcoming the little prince, but alas, the little prince had gone directly to the Project Department instead.
- He dashed over, almost having a heartattack, after arriving to such a scene.
- Zhuoyue had put in its additional effort to win this project, for the mere reason that they could work with the Jin Group, which held great influence.
- If their collaboration had been ruined, he would definitely be frustrated.
- The bodyguard responded with disdain, “Your employee is so daring! She called Jin's little prince a bastard, saying that he had no manners.”
- Everyone was stunned!
- The cute and cuddly little prince was Mr. Jin!!!
- It was no longer a surprise as to why he was so attractive even at his young age!
- Yan Yifei was stupefied.
- Her face had paled, as her anger had disappeared.
- Would things end well if she had provoked Jin's little prince?
- What if she had caused the company to lose the collaboration? She could even lose her job.
- Face darkening, Li Sheng apologized apprehensively, “I am really sorry. Let me get my employee to apologize immediately.” With that, he stared lividly at Yan Yifei, “Manager Yan! What are you waiting for? Quickly apologize to the little prince!”
- Mortified, Yan Yifei couldn’t have bothered to regain her pride. She immediately apologized, “I am sorry, little prince. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have snapped at you earlier. I hope that you can forgive me.”
- However, the little prince remained ignorant. He completely ignored Yan Yifei, hiding himself in Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hug.
- His white and tender face was so plump, as if it had been filled by water. He had a pair of obsidian eyes, a small sharp nose and pursed ruddy lips. He was clinging onto her neck with his stubby arms, seemingly having no intention of releasing his hold.
- Being one who was fond of children, Jiang Xiaoxiao had always wanted to hug the children whom she had saw.
- Now that she was hugging the little prince, she had no intention of letting go.
- Not only was this little one cuddly and obedient, he had managed to bring about a sense of intimacy in her that wasn’t there before. Hence, she didn’t want to let go of him.
- Yan Yifei took notice of the little prince’s ignorance towards her. She got anxious and asked, “Mr. Jin?”
- This time, the little prince responded. He glared at Yan Yifei coldly, stating, “The person that you should apologize to is this pretty Madam, not me.”
- Yan Yifei felt insulted.
- What? Apologize to Jiang Xiaoxiao, the slut?
- Dream on!
- “What’s the matter? Are you not willing to? It’s okay. Then I guess I will have to ask my dad to reconsider his decision to work with your company.”
- Calmly, the little prince ordered the bodyguards who were standing at the sides, “Let’s go.”
- Upon receiving the order, the bodyguards released Yan Yifei as they prepared to escort him out.
- Li Sheng was anxious and stopped the little prince immediately, “Little prince, please hold on. Yan Yifei is very willing to apologize.” After that, he looked at Yan Yifei sternly and said, “Manager Yan, the entire company has fought hard to win this project with Jin Group. If you want to screw things up, please pack your things and leave this instant! We will not retain you here!”
- Upon hearing that, Yan Yifei’s face had turned pale.
- This little prince was determined to seek justice for Jiang Xiaoxiao.
- She would probably undergo harsh consequences, had she not apologized.
- Unwillingly, she gnashed her teeth and gritted out, “Okay, I apologize. I am sorry.”
- “Insincere.”
- The little prince stared at her, contempt in his eyes.
- Yan Yifei took a deep breath, as she restrained herself, saying to Jiang Xiaoxiao, “I am sorry for treating you rudely. I am sincerely sorry. Please accept my apology.”
- Thrilled, Jiang Xiaoxiao had felt that it was ironic when she saw that Yan Yifei had become humbled.
- She often looked down others, throwing her weight around. She had probably never expected herself to have to bow down to anyone.
- Li Sheng saw that Yan Yifei had finally given in. Seeing so, he took the opportunity to smoothen tings over, “Little prince, now that she has apologized, what do you think about our collaboration?”
- “The floor is not cleaned yet.” The prince was still unforgiving.
- Yan Yifei felt vexed but added, “I will clean it up now.”
- She then went out to bring the cleaning equipment and she wiped the floor with a cloth, in front of everyone.
- Nobody held sympathy for her.
- Everyone had witnessed how Yan Yifei had treated Jiang Xiaoxiao and they believed that she had deserved her punishment.
- The little prince was finally satisfied seeing that Yan Yifei had finished wiping the floor, “I will not make a fuss over what had happened today. However, I have one request. This lady shall not be allowed to participate in the planning of my birthday party.”
- Li Sheng agreed unconditionally, “Sure, sure. No problem at all.”
- “Okay, good. I am leaving then.”
- The little prince turned to look at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
- Jiang Xiaoxiao knew his intention and immediately tried to place him back down.
- However, the little prince hugged her tighter, heavily refusing to release his grasp. He had even ordered her softly, “Take me downstairs.”
