67 Chapter 67 : Grueling Days Ahead

"Since it looks like you are happy, you can check and sign the contract. No worries, you won't be spending anything here. This is just for formality that you hired someone in my company." Hongqi said and he pulled out a very expensive looking fountain pen.

Xiulan quickly assessed the contract and she was glad there were no shady inclusions. What she meant by inclusions are Hongqi's naughty demands. She took the fountain pen and prettily left a sign on the contract, both on the original and copy.

"I'll update the marketing team and Secretary Dandan regarding this. They will be the ones who will communicate with your team since my hands are already full." Xiulan said and gave the pen back to Hongqi.

"We will send Miss Gu's schedule to Secretary Dandan so your team will be aware when she's available." Secretary Yang Bo said and took the copy of the contract and slid it inside the folder.

Xiulan took the original and held it in her small hands.

"I'll be very busy these days because of the business summit but I might get home very late and rarely call. I am sure you are happy about this." Hongqi suddenly mentioned and teasingly smiled at his wife. He knew that this wife of his will be very happy that his schedule is full these days.

"Very good. I'm busy too and no one will annoy me." Xiulan coldly said and stand up to lead him to the exit. 

"Are you shooing me away already?" Hongqi can't believe that Xiulan would quickly kick him out of here. He wants to stay with her for a little longer. He'll be attending a midnight meeting with the other big bosses from other cities to talk about the upcoming business summit.

That summit is not just a regular business talk or marketing strategy. There's a huge government politics involved in it. He didn't want to attend but as someone who's very prominent in both S and T city, he was required to go.

"It's still working hours in here. What are you planning to do here anyway? I am very busy, in case you're not aware." Xiulan coldly said and her eyes were obvious that she wants him to leave the office. She didn't bother controlling her icy words and expression anymore even though Secretary Yang Bo was there, watching them with an odd look.

"Is the madame trying to pick a fight with the young master? No woman ever dared to do that before!" Secretary Yang Bo cautiously asked himself. As he remembers, there are a few women who tried to act smugly in front of the young master but eventually they succumbed to him like slaves.

But the madame is different. "Aren't women supposed to be tamed once they tasted the young master?" He crudely thought.

Actually, Xiulan had the guts to talk to him like this ever since Hongqi was admitted to the hospital. She felt like she was taking care of a young bratty child. Also nagging was used to ward off his naughty mood, she always nagged at him. They were always alone in that hospital room. Her, being irriated at him was the most useful thing to guard herself from his incoming wanton attacks. Ever since, the nagging continued when they were in Maldives and up to now.

Nagging was her first weapon against him. Then refusing not to have sex with him was the ultimate and legendary weapon. She didn't notice it yet but she was able to control him and boss him around these days. 

She was honestly afraid of him before, but that changed because of their close and intimate interactions.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"What are you doing today? Can I see what you are working on?" Hongqi stride towards her office table, where her precious secretive laptop was. Because of his long legs, he was able to get there with just a few steps.

Xiulan panicked seeing him so close to her 'pandora box' laptop. She doesn't want him to know about Mystery Magic, also she has a lot of secrets to keep.

"Dear husband, I thought you are busy? Hmm? Nothing is interesting here." Xiulan quickly shield her precious territory using her small frame.  She held his right arm charmingly and led him back to the sofa, which made Hongqi's lips curl. He can easily read his wife's attitude and that's good news. She never lied to him but she's stressfully secretive.

Xiulan only noticed that Secretary Yang Bo was not inside the room anymore. "This is bad... if we're alone, this man will wantonly attack me again!" She cursed.

Hongqi sat again on the soft sofa and stared at his wife while he quickly held her hands that was holding his arm a while ago. "Don't you want anything else other than the company representative?" He suddenly asked. He wanted to spoil her with more luxuries. But his wife was never the type to waste too much money. She was frugal and stingy when it comes to money. But has a big heart when helping others.

"Why? I currently don't need anything personally." Xiulan said and stared back at Hongqi's beautiful sharp eyes. She just realized that his eye lashes were too long. Though her lashes are long too, but it was incredibly long for a man. "Truthfully, I need a lot of female programmers but that's a different case." She subconciously added.

"Why? Of course I want to help my wife. As I told you, I don't want you to be stressed. I only want you to think of me." Hongqi went back to his cheesy mode again.

"I'm not really interested in anything right now. I have a lot of company problems to fix and finish." Xiulan tried to pull her hands a little bit but his senses were quick. He pulled her and he let her sit on top of his thighs.

"Ah! Hongqi! I am not in the mood!" Xiulan wanted to get away from him but Hongqi's really strong.

"How about I buy you stocks in Apple? Google? LV? Do you have a preferred brand that you wanted?" Hongqi mentioned and his expression really had that eager look on it that he really wanted to do things for her.

Xiulan felt like her insides were constricting because of his generous offer. If another woman was offered by these extraordinary riches, they might immediately say yes.  "This man is currently having a petty first world problems. He doesn't know where to waste his money." She secretly nagged. She scowled at him so he would know that she doesn't like what he is offering right now.

"My dear husband... just save the money or donate to charity. As you know, I'm not an extravagant person." Xiulan tried to seriously explain to him that she doesn't need these ostentatious stuff. She may be a daughter from a rich family but her family thought her how to be humble. She was never the type to boldly reveal her family's riches. As possible, she wanted the attention away from her.

"I wanted to dote on you, help you. I feel like I'm not doing enough for you." Hongqi depressingly uttered. He embraced her and heaved a deep sigh. He is really frustrated. She saved his life, the life of Xing Hongqi. The things he's doing for her are not enough.

Xiulan chuckled, "Silly. You helped my father in his company, you helped me in problems, and we have a home to stay in, delicious and healthy food to eat. You give me gifts every day too. Aren't those enough? For me, it's greatly enough." She beautifully smiled at him and she pinched his cheeks to make the mood a little lighter. She was a little bashful because his eyes kept on staring at her.

Hongqi was seriously listening and his gazes on her were very bewitching. His eyes were glistening like he was hearing and seeing something so lovely.

"Can you love me?" Hongqi suddenly remembered those questions that many women asked to him.

Women would always ask for his heart, his love and attention. They said they dream about it. They would rather have it than any treasure. But he can't give his love... He values this emotion so much. He loved someone dearly before that's why he knows the value of this thing called love.

"If that's the case..."

"How about my love? Don't you want my love?" Hongqi asked. He was a little disappointed that she didn't ask first. But was he even ready to give his heart to her?
