“I can’t believe you made me ditch work on the very first day of work, “Song Xueyun grumbled. Seriously, it was the first day of work at the office and he somehow convinced her to go out with him. Fine, he was the boss of the company but she was a regular employee here. She didn’t want anyone to think that she was taking advantage of her position.
“Enjoy the perks that come with the title of boss’s wife, ” Han Nanxian said as he held her hand and walked towards the car. He was the happiest man on the planet right now. He was holding his wife’s hand in their office. What else could he ask for?
“Just a few hours ago, someone was saying that he is not my boss, ” Song Xueyun sarcastically said. What happened to him saying that he was not her boss? Truly, women should never trust men’s words. They are phoney like them. And look at her, she fell for them.
Han Nanxian opened the car door for her and smiled, “You are the boss of me. How can I be your boss?”
Song Xuyun flushed and turned her head away to avoid looking at him. This man was shameless! How could he easily say this?
“Where are we going?” She asked.
“We are going for lunch, “came the reply. “Han Zixin and An Xiulan would be joining us.”
Lunch? Didn’t they already have it? What was he playing at?
Song Xueyun looked at him in surprise. “What are you planning?”
“If I told you before that those two will be joining us, you would have panicked, ” Han Nanxian said, holding her hand tightly. He could feel her nervousness seeping into his body. “I know how you are feeling after keeping the truth of our relationship from your friends. I don’t want you to feel guilty. If you still are not ready to meet her, I will just cancel the plan.”
Song Xueyun held his hand and shook her head. She didn’t want to lie to her friends and family for long. It was true that she was nervous about telling them the truth. She had yet to tell her parents who should know the first thing about this but she was scared. What if they called her stupid for taking the most important decision of their life hastily? She didn’t wish to be judged. She knew one thing about her friends — they would never judge her no matter how absurd she acted. They would always have her back. So, it would be better if she break this news to them soon.
“I will call Lu Xuan, ” Song Xueyun said and Han Nanxian nodded his head.
“Long time no see, ” Lu Xuan said from the other side. Song Xueyun rolled her eyes.
“Thank you for the flowers, ” Song Xueyun said and Han Nanxian’s ears perked up. Lu Xuan had sent her flowers to her office for the first day of work. She was glad to receive those flowers.
“How was your day at the office?” Lu Xuan asked. “Did your boss bully me?”
Song Xueyun looked at Han Nanxian and said, “Kinda.”
“Oh, so you finally met the mysterious boss that has you all curious?” Lu Xuan questioned.
“I did, Lu Xuan, ” Song Xueyun said. “Want to have lunch with me?”
“Lunch at this time?” Lu Xuan asked.
p
Lu Xuan laughed. “Fine. Send me the address. I will be there.”
“You better be on time and keep your female friends away from my lunch, ” Song Xueyun warned him.
Lu Xuan chuckled. “Fine, Xueyun, my pretty female friends won’t try to scratch your beautiful face this time.”
“I will kill you, idiot, if you remind me of that incident again, ” Song Xueyun muttered. “Be there on time.”
“Will do, buttercup, “Lu Xuan laughed.
“Screw you, ” Song Xueyun mumbled before hanging up the call.
She turned to look at Han Nanxian who was staring at her with a deep look. Before she could ask, he said, “You both are behaving like a pair of normal best friends.”
“Haven’t we always been like this?” Song Xueyun asked.
“No, ” Han Nanxian asked. “You both were not like this in Highschool.”
“High school was like a decade ago, ” Song Xueyun answered. “We have changed a lot. At that time, what issues do we have? Classes. Homework. College entrance test. Our crush. We hadn’t seen real life at all. When we turned eighteen and were on our own, we learned a lot of things. Suddenly all the things that were like mountain-tall difficulties seemed like nothing to us. So, of course, we don’t behave like ourselves.”
Han Nanxian nodded his head. He understood what she was talking about. “How is Lu Xuan now?”
“He is doing good but let me tell you, he has a pathetic love life, ” Song Xueyun said. “This happens when you break a lot of hearts.”
Han Nanxian laughed. “Good.”
Song Xueyun smiled and said, “Let me tell you, he hates you. Don’t be surprised if he punches you first before saying hello.”
“Han will be there. I’d see how he punches me with my little brother there, ” Han Nanxian said with a sneaky smile. “Not to mention, Xiulan will also be there.”
“You are a genius, ” Song Xueyun sarcastically said.
“Do you think Zixin and Xiulan will ever be a thing?”Song Xueyun couldn’t help but ask again. “I’m so worried about them.”
“Let’s worry about us first, ” Han Nanxian said. “They can act stupid if they want. Let’s think about our lives. We are married now. But we don’t know where to go from this point. Should we act like a normal married couple? Or should we start from knowing each other? Or should we start dating each other? I don’t want to not give us a try. We deserved it, don’t we?”
Song Xueyun stared at him for a long time and then nodded her head. “We truly deserve a chance.”
