Chapter 138 - TIME FOR HUNTING

After spending two days making preparations for the hunt, Yi Lan and Lie Ruge were now ready to conquer their enemies no matter what it will take them. They are no room for losing but only winning. Yi Lan and Lie Ruge had also spent these two days cuddling and playing in each other's embrace. Lie Ruge has never felt so uneasy in her entire life before. She was so afraid for the first time in her life when with completing this particular mission. She has always felt confident whenever she fought alone that is, when neither Yi Lan nor the two guys were in her life but right now she was so afraid for an unknown reason. Before she could easily bet her life on the line in order for her to win a battle but now that she has someone she loves and someone who also equally loves her back she was afraid of losing him or her life. She was number one top assassin no doubt but even the god of war sometimes get afraid when faced with a formidable enemy so it was Ok for her to be scared.

Later that night in her Mansion after promising Yi Lan that she will sleep over at his place after the hunt. She even promised to let him into her Mansion too after the hunt and Yi Lan's joy knew no bounds. He had asked her on different occasions why she does not grant any of them entry into her Mansion, but she had always evaded the questions like she normally did. So hearing her promise, he was overjoyed because he has always looked forward to having a tour around her magnificent Mansion. Lie Ruge stood in front of her mother's picture which was hanging on her sitting room wall. She started talking to the picture emotionally. 

" Mum, I have finally found the man that has been able to melt my icy heart. After witnessing the pain dad went through after your death. I had promised myself not to ever fall in love but at last I wasn't able to keep that promise. The first time I met him in the club, I had already labeled him as a total jerk in my mind and I also had the intention of killing him for daring to look down on me and Xiao Bai just for the fact that we were ladies but for once in my life I'm glad Xiao Bai stopped me from killing them. He and his friends have turned my dark painful life into one filled with laughter and abundant of love. Meeting him was the best thing that has ever happened to me and mum, I'm very happy and fulfilled right now. I'm very sure that you are also happy for me wherever you are. I want to change totally for him mum because he has really changed himself just for me too. Mum please watch over us tomorrow Ok? I will make sure to give him the answer that he had always wanted from me after the battle is over tomorrow. I love him so much mum so watch over him for me. I am so scared of losing him because he means the whole world to me. And if that world of mine cease to exist then I Ge'er will also cease to exist after unleashing terror on those who dared to take the one thing I love from me. I love you mum and I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you back then but I will make sure to protect Yi Lan with my life, I promise you this mum so please bless our union from above", Lie Ruge said touching the picture. Tears whelmed up in her eyes, but she refused to shed a drop of tear. She went to her bedroom afterwards to sleep, but she couldn't sleep no matter what she did. She later fell asleep the next morning. Yi Lan on the other hand fell asleep with a sweet smile on his handsome face, he had already made preparations to formally proposed to her after the hunting, so he could not wait to for the fight to be over.

The next day Xiao Bai arrived at Lie Ruge's Mansion very early in the morning. She wanted to support her best friend in any way she could since Lie Ruge had warned her sternly not to take part in the fight. She has seen Lie Ruge fought many battles for the past three years after her return, but she has always been so scared every single time although Lie Ruge had always won in the end. But although she had always won there were also times she got injured in those battles. She was afraid and her fears show in the way she behaved. After having a light breakfast, Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai settled for a brief chat.

" Ge'er, are you sure the assassins will fall for you and Young Master Yi's plan? For all we know they might know that the two of you are luring them out, so what will you and Young Master Yi do if your plans does not work?", Xiao Bai asked with concerned written all over her pretty face.

" I won't say I'm 100% sure that they will fall for our plans but I'm sure they won't catch on the fact that we were only acting when Yi Lan and I came up with the car racing competition. I'm certain they were listening to our conversation then, and they will definitely think that this a good opportunity for them to carry out their assassination plan and Yi Lan and I are fully ready for them. I'm certain we will win for sure", Lie Ruge said trying to sound as confident as ever. Xiao Bai will only feel less worried if she herself does not show her fears, so she had to sound very confident in front of Xiao Bai.

" Ge'er, I think not taking some of your men along with you is a bad idea. What if they outweigh your number, what will you and Young Master Yi do? Ok, how about you allow me, Yun Yi and Tan Fan to assist you and Young Master Yi. I really feel so uneasy letting you go without my company so Ge'er let me come along with the two of you even though you don't want Yun Yi and Tan Fan's assistance hmmm?", Xiao Bai asked cutely. She was trying every possible way to go along with her best friend.

" Hey BaiBai, relax. I have got everything under control. I am Ge'er, the baddest woman on the planet like the underworld people call me. I can do this or don't you trust your Ge'er again?", Lie Ruge asked trying to make Xaio Bai less worried and it worked.

" Of course my Ge'er is the best and you also have world's number one martial arts experts with you, so I'm sure he won't let you get hurt in any way", Xiao Bai said finally feeling relaxed.

" Ge'er, when are you gonna introduced Young Master Yi to your dad? He has already called you to bring him over for about ten times now so when do you plan on introducing him to your dad because you know stubborn uncle can be if he decides to take the topic seriously. He will not give you a way out if you decide to keep on ignoring his invitation and I bet you have not yet inform Young Master Yi about it. And seriously Ge'er, when are you guys planning to make your relationship official. I'm 100% sure that you love him too so what is holding the two of you back from spreading the most exciting news of a lifetime to the world?", Xiao Bai asked curiously.

" About dad, I have already told him that Young Master Yi is busy, and he had already given me the speculated time to bring him home. He knew I will not listen to him, so he threatened to call Yi Lan's dad to set our marriage date if I don't meet up with the time he has accorded to me.I will relay the news to Yi Lan after today's battle and Yi Lan and I have not thought about spreading the news of our relationship on the media, so I guess we will have to come up with a plan later on", Lie Ruge said checking her wristwatch.

" I will make sure to be your event planner that day. Ge'er. I have a very good plan to suggest so can I go ahead to suggest it?", Xiao Bai asked.

" Since when did you start asking for permission before you can talk? Ok, you can go ahead but be quick about it because I'm sure Yi Lan must be waiting for me at our meeting point", Lie Ruge said her eyes still on her wristwatch.

" Your birthday is coming up in four months time so how about the two of you make the announcement then that is if you not yet married then due to disobeying your father hahaha....?", Xiao Bai said trying very hard not to laugh too annoyingly.

" I didn't plan on celebrating my birthday but I will think about it and I will also ask Yi Lan whether it is Ok with him", Lie Ruge said standing up to her feet.

" Ge'er, can I at least accompany you to your meeting point?", Xiao Bai asked with puppy eyes.

" There is an important task I want you to help me with. Assist Xu Feng and the rest of my men to capture those spies. I trust that you will do a good job before I'm back and don't allow Firefly to get too excited because I want all of them alive Ok?", Lie Ruge said heading outside with Xiao Bai following behind her.

" Sure, I will do an excellent work Boss", Xiao Bai said acting like her subordinate.

"" See you later", Lie Ruge said. Entering her car, she immediately zoomed off.
