As she thought about it, she started sketching.
…
Yan Rusheng came over to pick Xuxu at 7 in the evening. Xuxu had lost track of the time for work had her tied up.
Since the main door was closed, Yan Rusheng called Xuxu, and she came down to open the door.
When he stepped in, he scanned the empty and quiet living room. He frowned. “I thought you had an assistant? Where’s the girl?”
Why was his wife left alone in the office?
“She already knocked off,” replied Xuxu. “I’ll just go up and grab my bag.”
She spun on her heels and ascended the stairs.
Yan Rusheng followed behind as he surveyed the surroundings once more. He wasn’t at all pleased with the work environment.
There were only a few people in such a huge office. Furthermore, Xuxu was all alone at that time of night. Wasn’t she afraid?
“Let’s go.” Xuxu came down and walked over to Yan Rusheng. She then held his arm. As they walked, she continued to converse with him. “Do you want to guess the client that I mentioned yesterday?”
“Is it someone I know?” replied Yan Rusheng in a calm and unhurried tone of voice. He then lifted his eyebrows.
Xuxu sneered. ” Hmph. Your little lover from the past.”
Yan Rusheng chuckled. “You’re referring to Xin Yanting?”
“Yan Rusheng, you’ve finally admitted that she’s your little lover?” Xuxu withdrew her hand from Yan Rusheng in a huff, and she strode towards the main door.
As she hastened her steps, her waist started swaying from side to side that Yan Rusheng found it amusing. He also quickened his steps and caught up with her. “Wen Xuxu, you shouldn’t behave in this manner.”
He stopped in front of Xuxu intending to tease her.
But Xuxu coldly raised her chin. ” Hmph. Hmph. Hmph! ”
She stormed off after that.
It wasn’t Wen Xuxu’s usual behavior for she was hardly so cheeky. Yan Rusheng smiled and asked, “Where did you learn such haughty behavior from?”
Xuxu glared at him. “I picked it up from your little lover.”
She walked to the car and opened the back passenger seat door.
Yan Rusheng hurriedly ran up to her and stopped her. “Aren’t you my lover, wife, and sweetheart?”
“Don’t pacify me with your glib tongue.” Xuxu forcefully flung her hand away from Yan Rusheng before pointing to her office entrance. She commanded, “Go and turn off the light and lock the door.”
“Yes, my queen.” Yan Rusheng nodded politely and turned back.
He shook his head in amusement. He was being ordered around like a slave, and yet he actually felt blissful. Could it be what people meant by ‘cheap’ ?
While he went to close the door, Xuxu got into the back seat of the car.
Yan Rusheng expected it. After he had gotten into the car and fastened his seatbelt, he turned back and asked Xuxu, “My queen, I’ve already locked the door. We can set off now.”
Xuxu massaged her tummy and grumbled, “I’m famished.”
Yan Rusheng asked, “Then would you prefer to have dinner at home or outside?”
Xuxu responded, “I want to eat pan-fried dumpling from Chen’s Restaurant.”
Her instant reply made it obvious that she had thought about it earlier on. The restaurant was famous for its pan-fried dumpling, and there’s always a long queue for it. With such a choice, the bothersome woman was obviously venting her anger on him.
If he was correct, the moment they reached the restaurant, she would surely ask him to queue for it. He won’t be allowed to make any special request to the restaurant manager.
But there’s nothing he could do. As Yan Rusheng mulled over it, he couldn’t help but smile. So he shook his head before speeding off.
He turned on the CD player and the music that came on made Xuxu’s heart to skip a bit.
She lifted her head to look at the man at the driver’s seat and caught a glimpse of melancholy from his side profile.
