Chapter 692 I Want To

Chapter 692 I Want To　　Cloe hung up the call when Cui Xukun woke up and looked at her sitting on the recliner in the room. He asked groggily, "Didn't you sleep?"

"I did," answered Cloe. "But I couldn't sleep much."

"Why?" asked Cui Xukun as he sat up and suddenly realized how dumb that question was. He should already know why she couldn't sleep. "Are you really that worried about your boss?"

"I told you, Kun. She is more than just a boss," said Cloe. "She made me who I am. Although she always says, she didn't do anything. It's all because I had the will to become stronger. But it's the truth that she was always that push I needed to walk towards being strong and independent."

"I have never seen another boss and employee relationship like yours," he commented. 

Cloe smiled at that, "You'll never see it again. There is only one Raelle Xiang. And tough luck for others but that Raelle Xiang is my Chief."

"You sound very proud," said Cui Xukun. "It's almost like I'm talking to Shui Xian all over again. He also bragged a lot about his wife."

"I'm going to wash up," said Cloe and went to take a shower.

Cui Xukun's phone rang and he picked up the call, "Hello, my pretty sister!"

There was silence on the other end for a good while before Cui Xuqing spoke up, "Little brother, have you really forgotten that you have a sister? I'm offended by how many times you have been forgetting our appointments."

Cui Xukun bit his lips and felt like he was really asking for a beating now. "I'm so sorry, Jie!"

"Save it!" came Cui Xuqing's voice. She sighed heavily, "I should be content knowing that you finally found someone who is willing to put up with your irresponsible self."

"Jie, I'm not that irresponsible," Cui Xukun tried to defend himself. "Just a little forgetful."

"Is this your age to become so forgetful?" asked Cui Xuqing. "Don't answer. I don't wanna hear it. Just answer me. I'll only forgive you if you're with your girlfriend."

"I am," answered Cu Xukun.

"Oh. Then I'll drop this matter."

Thinking of something, Cui Xukun asked, "Jie, brother-in-law was supposed to attend Minister Chen's banquet last night, right? Did you go with him?"

"Oh, we didn't go," she answered lazily.

"No? Why?"

"Because Sammy again got a fever," said Cui Xuqing sounding worried. "It wasn't really high fever. But you know, Soren."

"Yes, he is the best father."

"He isn't all that great," said Cui Xuqing but Cui Xukun already knew she must be smiling proudly right now. "But why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"It's nothing," said Cui Xukun. "Then I'll come to see Sammy when I get the chance."

"Whatever," said Cui Xuqing. "I don't care if you come or not. But if you bring your girlfriend, you're most welcome to come."

Cui Xukun shook his head, "Jie, it'll be a bit difficult to bring her for now."

"Hm? Why? What happened? You sound not right. Tell Jie what happened, I'll help you."

Cui Xukun smiled when he heard that from his sister. So, no matter how much she beats him or scolds him, she was still his elder sister who raised him like a son. Always worried about him and always was so naggy as well. Oh, but he was really happy with her naggy self.

"There is a situation but I can't tell you for now," said Cui Xukun. "But you don't have to worry so much."

"If you say it like that it makes me more worried," said Cui Xuqing. "By the way, you could have met my girlfriend if you had gone to the banquet last night." 'And maybe, just maybe, everything could have been avoided.' Of course, he didn't say the last sentence out loud. Those were just his own thoughts that he kept to himself.

"It seems I'm out of luck," commented Cui Xuqing. "I don't know what's wrong but you take care of her. And stay with her if she needs you. No, stay with her even if she doesn't need you."

"Alright," said Cui Xukun. "You also take care of yourself. Don't take stress because of Sammy's health."

Cui Xuqing hummed in response before she hung up the phone.

Cloe just stepped out of the bathroom when Cui Xukun's call was over. She looked over at him before she looked through her wardrobe to find an outfit. "Was that your sister?"

"Yup," answered Cui Xukun. 

"She always calls you to check up on you," commented Cloe casually. At least it seemed casual but Cloe knew deep down that she was actually a bit envious of him. His sister really cared about him and loved him so much. It was obvious to anyone.

"She is a worrywart," said Cui Xukun. "But it's not just about me. She just loves to worry about everyone around her. Raising me like a mother, she has become one. A naggy one at that."

"Are you going somewhere?" asked Cui Xukun. Cloe nodded her head. "Where?"

"There is a parcel I have to collect," replied Cloe. 

"Parcel?"

"Well, it's a gift."

"A gift?" 

Cloe nodded again, "Chief ordered something and it was supposed to be delivered today. Since I'm the contact person, I just got the call. I have to go over and sign some documents before collecting the gift."

"Who did she buy a gift for?"

"Of course, it's for her husband," said Cloe.

"She really knows how to pamper her husband."

Cloe chuckled at his words, "She doesn't just know how to pamper her husband. She likes to pamper everyone she calls family. In fact, she doesn't shy away from pampering me as well. She is just differently wired. She thinks she is the overbearing CEO and she has to show her might by pampering everyone."

"That's a very unique way of showing her might," said Cui Xukun. "Give me a minute. I'll wash up and then I'll come with you."

"You don't have to," said Cloe in a soft voice.

"But I want to," he said and patting her face, he entered the bathroom to wash up.
