Chapter 105 - Envelope

No matter how joyous an event may be, it will eventually pass and now Lim Yi Sheng is back to the cruel reality that he really did marry a workaholic wife.

It's been a week after that night yet the memories are still clear in his mind and whenever he though of it his lips automatically curves into a smile.

"Dear, Grandfather is asking to have a dinner with me tonight at the mansion so you don't have to wait for me. I would probably go home late." Xi Ana said on the phone.

With the mention of Elder Xi, Lim Yi Sheng was reminded of that conversation he had with his wife a few days ago before Xi Ana came back to the city. They already talked about the thing that happened when her mother was killed and the fact that she can remember everything about it but they still didn't find time to talk about it again.

The fact that she didn't want to let her family know that she can remember is something he can understand, just thinking how the old man would be heartbroken if he knew that his precious grand daughter has been keeping this to herself for so many years is saddening.

"If that's the case then I will also give mother and grandfather a visit. Will you be driving yourself?" since he got spare he would just pay them a visit as well.

"Yeah, I think so."

"Then drive safely, I'll go and pick you up once you're done. You can just ask someone to drive your car back to the company tomorrow."

"You really didn't have to. It might be too tiring for you, I can just drive myself back. The location of the two places isn't exactly near." They are not on the same way which makes the trip rather longer.

He didn't offer to come with her since Elder Xi requested personally for her which might mean that they will need to talk about something privately. It's normal since Elder Xi is technically still the person who owns Xi Corporation.

"Then I'll call you once I feel like it's almost over, who knows it might not be something important anyway."

"Okay. Enjoy your dinner and send my regards to Grandfather Xi. I love you."

"Hmm, I will. I love you, too."

Ever since they've both acknowledged their feelings for each other and at the same time let the other know they've been closer than they were never before. Even saying these sweet words whom they don't often utter often gradually become a part of their daily routine.

Even after hanging up the call the smile on his face from hearing xi Ana's response to his words never faded. He was only dreaming of it before, that one day Xi Ana would love him the way he loves her. Now that he knew that she loved him back the happiness he had is indeed overflowing.

He was pulled back from his trance when someone knocked on his office door, he pressed the buŧŧon that will indicate that whoever is at the door could enter. It was definitely not Feng Jinnian because being the ȧssistant gives him the leeway to these kinds of formalities.

When the door opened Lim Yi Sheng was surprised a bit to see that the person who was at the other side of the door was actually Mo Chuxia. From the day he removed her from being his secretary and just let her be an 'employee' of the company he had not seen , not even her silhouette so this is basically his first time seeing her in a while.

As far as he can remember he already said before that Mo Chuxia is not allowed to enter his office, although it was him who consented the person on the other side of he door he didn't expect that it would actually be Mo Chuxia.

"I thought I've already made myself clear that if you want to stay in my company you have to keep yourself away from me." he didn't realize that his words actually carried a rather cold and distant tone.

"You won't even consider the fact that we were childhood friends. Do you detest me so much?" she said in a small voice.

Lim Yi Sheng was rather irritated, "You are working here as an employee despite not being on the same industry. To what qualifications do you think you have to be hired here, did you ever think of that? Actually, I don't detest you Mo Chuxia and there is no need to. I just don't want to give Xi Ana any reason to misunderstand anything."

Even more so now that they finally have a mutual feelings for each other.

"You're really giving it your best in this marriage, huh. This is just a marriage of convenience right? You're only doing this because it is your responsibility as the husband. You've always been the kind of person who would stick with his responsibility."

Lim Yi Sheng's eyes narrowed at her words, "Ever since you came back, you've been surprising me more and more. If I might say, you are nothing like the Mo Chuxia I've known before."

The person who came back didn't feel like the old Mo Chuxia at all, her words and actions were nothing like the friend he once had. This time he didn't try to hide the indifference in his tone.

Mo Chuxia didn't speak. "If that is the only thing you came here for then leave."

Rather than retorting back, Mo Chuxia suddenly gave him an envelope, "I found this on the wiper of my car this morning but it was addressed to you."

Lim Yi Sheng frowned at the excuse Mo Chuxia has given him but he didn't say anything and just received the envelope. It's indeed questionable but at the same time intriguing.

"If there is something like this again in the future you can just go straight to Feng Jinnian, you don't have to come to me directly." he said in unfeeling tone.

"Yi Sheng.."

"This will be the last time, don't think that I will consider our past relationship anymore. You may leave."
