Chapter 182 - 182: Apologizing Doesn't Make You Less Of A Person

"How's my performance? Did I make you proud?" Nathan asked his wife after the opening program ended.

"Not bad." Kim Eunji's short answer made Nathan to raise his brows as he was trying to decipher if she was up to something.

"Seriously?" He mumbled on his breath but Eunji had heard it.

"Yeah. Are you underestimating my judgment? I'm telling you, I have encountered many big shots while I was working as a photographer so my expectations were quite on the roof." Kim Eunji was only teasing her husband.

"The good thing was that I had collected plenty of photos to be added for my portfolio." Kim Eunji continued to tease her man.

Seeing that Nathan was having a serious look, Kim Eunji could only give in.

She couldn't bare to tease him that long.

"Hmmm. I just hate that they're looking at you with the looks that I don't like." She continued which made Nathan's serious face to turn into a huge grin.

"Oh! My wife's jealous? Come on! They're nothing compared to you." Nathan said as he tried to coax his wife.

Out in the cold, Nathan placed his hand around her ears.

"Stop it. We might stumble on the ground and the students may laugh at us." She said. However instead of listening to her, Nathan lifted her up.

The couple were unaware that someone was looking at them from afar with an unknown expression on the face.

Kim Eunji could feel it therefore she peeked towards that direction.

However, she saw no one. She looked down as if trying to contemplate if she had mistaken or it was just her imagination. However, her senses had never failed her when she needed them.

Sensing that his wife had become quiet in his arms, Nathan looked at her and asked, "What happened? Is something bothering you? Are you hurt or in pain? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

"Hoho! Hold up! I'm fine. It's just that I felt something or someone looking at us. But when I peeked at it, I didn't find anyone." She confessed.

Nathan's facial expression turned serious instantly. He trusted his wife's intuition and senses.

"Is it something serious? Don't worry, I let our men to look at it immediately." He told her.

"Don't bother. It's nothing serious. There's no threat in that gaze anyways." Eunji dismissed.

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked her which Eunji answered with a gentle hum.

"Okay. As you please." However, Nathan would make a call to ask Marco to check the CCTV footage near the area to spot that mysterious person.

He didn't want any mishaps or incidents to happen in this event.

"So, where to next my Empress?" Nathan asked his wife while he was carrying her in his arms.

"Hmmm….roam around." Kim Eunji told Nathan.

"Okay. As you please."

"Put me down first. I can walk hubby. Please." Kim Eunji pleaded as she didn't want catching the student's attention.

She's not really used to PDA. However, if you're together with a man like Nathan, it's something that could not be avoided.

"No. I don't want you to get tired." Nathan said.

"Then, I'll take a rest when needed." Kim Eunji tried to reason with him.

Nathan understood his wife's intention. He knew that she got extremely shy in public.

"Alright. But if you felt tired, tell me and I'll carry you." Nathan decided to not tease her any longer.

"Okay. Let's do that then." Kim Eunji promised.

Eunji really thought that they would be walking but Nathan had another plan in mind.

"Are we going to ride that?" Kim Eunji asked Nathan when they reached the exit of the dome and saw the golf cart being parked outside.

"What do you think?" Nathan asked her.

Nathan and Kim Eunji rode the golf cart and Nathan was driving.

Kim Eunji was having a good time while riding the golf cart.

After their quick tour, Nathan and Eunji decided to stop and park outside an ice cream shop.

Why? Because Eunji wanted to. Even though it was very cold outside, she still wanted to eat ice cream. And she was very happy that there was an open shop.

Hands held together, Nathan and Eunji entered the shop and the teller at the counter welcomed them enthusiastically.

Everything was fine until Nathan saw that the man kept on looking at his wife.

"Where's the manager?" Nathan immediately asked as he was displeased by his actions. The teller's face immediately turned pale. He didn't expect Nathan to be stingy and possessive when it comes to the woman beside him.

He was new to the shop so he had no idea who Eunji was.

"Hubby, calm down." She told Nathan in a whisper as she knew the latter was not in the good mood. She gently caressed Nathan's right arm and hugged it.

Also, there were students inside and the last thing she wanted to happen was to cause a commotion inside the ice cream shop.

She then turned her attention to the teller and calmly spoke, "I'm sorry but could you please give our order instead? I'm dying to eat them."

"Where's the manager? Let him or her see me or else I will take down this place." Nathan threatened the poor guy instead of listening to her.

"Stop!" Kim Eunji raised her voice.

"No need to bring the manager to see us. Please hubby. Calm down!" Kim Eunji added which made the poor guy to look pale even more.

'Hubby? Meaning...they're husband and wife?' The teller thought.

"I can't help it wifey! He's been looking at you for quite some time now. Can't you see he's trying to flirt with you? The audacity to do it in front of me. You're my woman so no one should covet you."

Kim Eunji inwardly face palmed herself as she heard Nathan's childish reason.

It's too shallow to cause such commotion.

"Are you even listening to yourself? Are you doubting me? Nathan...every time you bring me out to dinner, all those female waitresses were looking at you the same as he was looking at me. But...have you heard me making it a big deal?"

Nathan was stunned. He didn't know how to answer her. He was speechless because he knew he over reacted.

"I might tell you I was uncomfortable because of what they were doing but I would never dare to embarrass them in public as I knew their intentions were harmless. When they saw another pretty and handsome man whom they wanted to admire, they would then moved on to that person."

"You see, as long as I didn't see you flirting back to them, I would never make it a big deal. But if I saw you flirting back at them, that would be another story." Kim Eunji sighed deeply as she continued to give him lecture.

"I didn't do something that would hint him that I like what he's doing. I didn't even look at him so what's the big deal? Don't let your jealousy to cloud your judgment. Also, why should I look for another fish in the ocean when I already have a big shark in my boat?"

Then she turned her attention to the teller who was sweating big beads of sweat.

"What's your name? How old are you? Address and how long have you been working here?"

"The name's Li Jie...I'm 20. Just moved here from Wuhan a month ago after I passed the interview."

"I see. So you didn't know who we are? As you know, every students inside the campus were quite familiar with us." She started.

"And even if you find me pretty, learn to appreciate my beauty subtlety. As you can see, I'm with someone else. Look at what it almost caused you. I'm not saying this only applied to me. This also goes to every female students who happened to come here to buy ice cream every day. Did you get my point?"

The teller immediately nodded in response.

"I'm sorry Miss! I'm in the wrong. I'm sorry Mister if you felt like I have bad intentions to your wife. It's not my intention to do so." The teller immediately bowed at them as he sincerely apologized.

"Okay. As long as you recognized your mistakes and vowed to correct it, we'll forgive you so better stand straight or else they would thought that we're bullying you."

Everyone in the shop giggled because of her humor.

"No! Miss and Mister's not bullying me at all. It was my mistake to not adjust my attitude and behavior. It's my fault." Li Jie tried his best to clarify as he didn't want these few customers to misunderstood of what was exactly happening.

Kim Eunji then elbowed Nathan as she wanted him to speak and if possible, apologize to the man for his earlier behavior.

Kim Eunji knew that asking Nathan to apologize was impossible as the man had his pride. However, there's no harm in trying right.

"Hubby." Kim Eunji tugged the hemline of his cardigan.

She could hear him sighing and then cleared his throat afterwards.

"I'm sorry. As much as I didn't want to admit it but my wife is right. I almost caused you to lose your livelihood. It was such an honest mistake. But could you blame me though when I married the most beautiful woman on Earth?"

Nathan's statement made Li Jie and everyone else in the room to be speechless.

Those who recognized who Eunji was, could not help but admire her more as she made Nathan to apologize to an ordinary employee.

Of course he recognized who Nathaniel Bai was as they were given the list of who were the big shots inside the campus. The school didn't tell them to have this initiative. They did it in their own volition.

This was to prevent any incidents like this to happen.

They didn't want to offend the big shots studying in this school.

As offending them would mean the end.

Li Jie was lost in his thoughts that he didn't know Eunji had been calling him.

"Are you okay?" Kim Eunji asked him.

"Ye-ah. I am. Don't worry Mister and Missus Bai. This won't happen again. And thank you for giving me another chance." Li Jie said.

"Now that everything's settled, I'm expecting for my ice cream to be in our table five minutes from now, Okay?"

"Right away Ma'am!"
