Chapter 407 - Lu Bojing's Orders

Lu Bojing wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. But tears pooled in his eyes anyway. This wasn't any promotion.

When did becoming Lihua's neighbor become a part of his job description?

"Boss. What did I do wrong? I-I will rectify any mistake I made. But please don't throw me out of here!"

Mingshen blinked his eyes.

Lu Bojing wiped his eyes. "I know I have troubled you a lot. I make a lot of mistakes. But trust me. I am not as inexperienced as before! I will definitely prove my worth to you!"

"What the fuck are you talking about? Or was I speaking Latin? When did I say I am throwing you out?"

Lu Bojing burst into tears. "You said to become Song Lihua's neighbor. Aren't you firing me away? Isn't that another way of saying that you will never call me here again?"

"Idiot!"

"Boss," he sniffled, "trust me. Even though I am hell scared of you and sometimes you come in my dreams and then I suffer from insomnia for many nights…"

Mingshen's expression turned ugly.

"Even though you are a monster in a human disguise, I have always treated this lab as my home and you as my mentor," he sobbed, "even though you have given me nightmares at times and are a source of terror for me, you are still my benefactor. Don't... Don't kick me out," he cried as if his life was on the line.

Mingshen coldly smiled. "Thank you so much for the COMPLIMENTS, dear assistant," he sneered. "Maybe I should really never call you back again."

Lu Bojing paled. The dam gushed out with full force. "D-Do you mean I am not even worthy of becoming your research subject anymore? What kind of blunder did I make?"

"Oh shut it!" He banged his palm on the table that immediately quietened him down.

"If I want to throw you out, I will directly dump you into a dumpster, not tell you to become somebody's neighbor. You will be her doctor-in-charge from now on."

Lu Bojing blinked his eyes. "Doctor-in-charge?"

He shrugged. "Yup."

"I don't understand."

Mingshen glared at him. "What does a doctor-in-charge mean?"

Lu Bojing straightened up. "It means to take care of the patient under you, monitor his health and if there is any sign of a problem, the doctor-in-charge treats the patient."

"So that's what you are gonna do. Stay beside Song Lihua and monitor her condition."

Lu Bojing was blank.

Ah? Where did this come from?

"M-May I ask why?"

"No," Mingshen sneered. "I am your Boss. You go where I send you."

His mouth twitched.

"Apparently, that dumb woman has a habit of calling danger wherever the fuck she is going. Your job is to let her and the child inside her stay ALIVE whatever the danger might be."

Lu Bojing sharply gasped. "B-B-Boss…" he started trembling in his place, "Y-you are caring for a human?"

Is the world coming to an end?

He burst into tears again, "Are you sick, Boss? Are you going to die!?"

"Shut up!" Mingshen stared at him in disgust. "Care? Me? Are you freaking nuts? I care about only one thing in this world. That is my Spicy's heart. That's very important to me. Everything else can go to hell."

"S-So why-"

"Yang Mingshen…" he leaned back on his seat and his black irises slightly narrowed, "doesn't like to be in someone's debt. And this debt is twice as severe."

Lu Bojing still didn't understand.

What debt? Who dares keep the Boss in debt?

"You will be her shadow from now on."

Lu Bojing suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. "Boss. Song Lihua...sh-she is Mr. Jiang's ex-wife."

"Yeah, so?"

"Will he not kill me if he sees me around her? He-he is very possessive. He won't tolerate my presence around her."

"That's not my problem. That's your headache to deal with."

Lu Bojing looked as if he saw a ghost.

How can you sacrifice me like that, Boss!? He will burn me alive!

"Boss, shadowing her means as good as stalking her. The Mafia King will kill me!"

"If you die so easily, then I don't need you," Mingshen yawned.

Lu Bojing cried.

"Stop bawling your eyes out. You are such a crybaby. To make your life easier, keep an eye when she is at home or shopping. You don't need to follow her to college because," he sneered in disdain, "a certain Mafia King will be there disguised as a fucking student. She will be safe on campus. You will be there for other times."

Lu Bojing felt slightly relieved.

"But Boss...Song Lihua is pregnant…"

"Happy realization," Mingshen dryly said.

He choked.

"No, what I mean is for how long do I have to do this?"

"How long is a pregnancy?"

"Nine months."

"How far is she?"

"She still has eight months left…"

"That's how long you will be with her."

Lu Bojing had his jaw dropped wide. "I-I will be away until her delivery?"

"Is there any problem, assistant Lu?" Mingshen threateningly smiled.

He vigorously shook his head. "Not at all!"

Though inwardly, he was crying like hell.

That long...won't Boss miss me even a little bit? But then if he did, he won't be a monster anymore…

"Boss, I have never stepped out of this lab before…I am a shut in," he gulped, "I-I really don't know how to talk to...people I guess?"

"Not my problem. Figure it out," he stretched his arms.

Lu Bojing wiped his forehead, "Boss a-about Subject 076-"

Mingshen shot a squinted gaze at him. He smiled that made him see stars during the day.

Mingshen walked towards him and put his arm around his shoulder like how buddies did. Except, he wasn't any buddy of his but a time bomb.

"My dear, dear assistant."

Lu Bojing was shaking. His arm felt incredibly heavy on his shoulders as if death was looming right over him.

The 'dear' had a menacing ring to it.

"You understand what will happen to you if you spill anything about my Spicy to her, right?"

He only furiously nodded his head hard.

"How clear are you with the consequences?"

"Crystal."

Mingshen smiled. "That's better.. Now pack your bags and get out of here."
