In case of the sudden appearance of Tianye Mu, he had to keep Venus with him at all times.
"Time to work." Kerry said indifferently.
Venus had calmed down by now. She nodded and walked towards the villa door with her bag.
Along the way, both of them had their own minds. It was so quiet that the air seemed to be frozen.
In the elevator, Kerry pushed the button of his own floor. When Venus was also going to push the
button of the 8th floor where the design department located, her wrist was held by him.
"You don't need to go to the design department today." He said seriously.
"Then where am I going to work?" Venus was surprised.
Kerry looked at the rising numbers of floor, "You work in my office from today."
"I don't want to!" Venus refused without hesitation.
Kerry looked down into her angry eyes and said word for word, "Objection overruled. Unless, you want
to be placed under house arrest again."
Venus's tone softened as she remembered her once dark days, "Many of my drafts are still in the
design department..."
"I'll have them moved to my office."
Venus had no choice but to accept it, but she was even more certain that Kerry had made this decision
just because of her brother.
As long as she could successfully leave Kerry, who was a scum, what was the harm in compromising a
little now?
At the office, Kerry instructed Secretary Liu to bring in a desk and a chair and place them in a light
place by the window.
"Mr. Ye, this is all of Venus's stuff in the design department." Secretary Liu held a large stack of design
drafts in hands, with a small pot of cactus at the top.
Venus hurried up to get the cactus because she was afraid of stabbing Secretary Liu's fair face.
Kerry pointed to the temporary office not far from her and said, "Just put it on the table and let Venus
sort it out herself."
"Thank you so much. I’m sorry to bother you." Venus said repeatedly.
Secretary Liu said politely, "It's my job. If you need anything else, just let me know."
"Okay, thank you."
Hearing the news, staff who did not know all of the facts said that it must be because Kerry loved his
wife so much that he wanted to see her all the time.
As a result, Kerry's image as a good man and husband once again became a topic the staff could chat
about in tea rooms and dining table.
Venus sat in front of her new desk all morning and she was very uncomfortable.
That’s because managers came in one by one every half an hour on average and their eyes kept
looking over at her. After meeting her gaze, they would smile an awkward smile to her. She didn’t know
whether they really wanted to report the work or to confirm what had happened.
In fact, they had nothing to be embarrassed about; it's her who would really have this feeling.
She planned to finish revising a pair of designs. However, thanks to them, the efficiency directly
reduced to a negative number and nothing had been done all morning.
Finally getting through their visit, Venus irritably threw down her pen, "I’m off duty and going to have my
meal."
"Wait, I'll go with you." Kerry turned off his computer.
"I want to eat alone." Venus said quite seriously.
Kerry ignored her words, "You can pretend I don't exist. Let's go."
As he said so, what else could Venus reply? She could just have a lunch with him.
They went to a nearby Chinese restaurant. Kerry took the menu and asked, "What would you like to
eat?"
“Tofu, pickled fish, sweet and sour pork loin." Venus didn't know why and she especially wanted to eat
food with strong flavors these days.
Kerry frowned, "I thought you didn't like spicy food?"
"I just want to eat."
Kerry said to the waiter, "Shrimp corn and red date and yam soup. Besides, Mapo Tofu should be
cooked with less pepper, and I’d like to have a box of yogurt, please."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
When the waiter left, the two of them fell silent again. Venus carefully studied the exquisite patterns on
the dishes, while Kerry gazed at her face with a sore and swollen heart.
"Venus." Kerry couldn't help but call her name.
Venus looked up at him in confusion.
Kerry tightened hand on his knee, "If I'll always be Xiaozi from now on, will you still hate me so much?"
Mavis's eyelids jumped. What did he mean?
"I will because Kerry is actually Xiaozi. You are not separate."
Kerry's eyes were tinted with a strong sense of disappointment. She was right. How could he always be
Xiaozi? He was Xiaozi only when he used his special function. He wouldn't be allowed to have that kind
of change in reality, not to mention maintaining that state for long,.
Perhaps, Hao Nangong would make troubles with this.
Kerry sighed grudgingly, looking at her, "It seems that you're not going to forgive me for the rest of your
life."
Venus turned her head and looked at the traffic outside, "Kerry, you are living such an unrestrained,
arrogant and supercilious life. You don't need my forgiveness at all."
"No, I used to think like that, but now ......" Kerry paused, "I regret what I did and want to make amends,
but you won't give me the chance."
Venus sneered, "Not everything can go with the wind. The scars left on the body can recover, but the
scars imprinted on the heart can never disappear."
Kerry was speechless.
Once the orders were delivered, Venus didn’t talk to him anymore but busying herself eating.
Kerry was not in the mood to eat more and just serve her food.
