Chapter 108 - Busy Week

Ling Yue pushed all of her bad thoughts out and focused on the activities in front of her eyes. Tonight was a company anniversary celebration day. All employees and company officials gathered together. Ling Yue limited herself around Xi Jian so as not to attract attention from the crowd.

But some people keep staring at her. Partly out of curiosity who Ling Yue was, partly admiring her appearance. Ling Yue could not appear ordinary because her mother-in-law called and asked her for a accompany.

"May I know who this beautiful woman next to you is, Mrs. Xi? Maybe I can introduce her to my son." A business partner greeted Hui Jia and raised his glass towards Ling Yue.

Hui Jia laughed gracefully. "Sorry, Mr. Yu for disappointed you. But she already had someone."

"Is that so? Too bad. If your man starts to disappoint you, leave him and come to me. I'll help you as much as possible." Mr. Yu winked witfully followed by his other partners's laughter.

Hui Jia went around greeting the others again. She grumbled softly to Xi Jian when they arrived in front of him.

"How dare they ask her for hand in front of her mom in-laws!"

"What?" Xi Jian raised his eyebrows.

"Let's announce your wedding. I want to see their faces who try to snatch my daughter-in-laws."

Ling Yue held her arm. This was their second meeting but Ling Yue already felt close to her. Hui Jia treated her so well. She chose to keep her marriage a secret from the public for a while. That's why she feels a little guilty towards her. "Mom, sorry ..."

"Why are you the one apologize?" She stroked Ling Yue's arm. "I wish I could do something! You better treat her well, son. If not, there is already a line up behind you ready to kick your ass." His mother warned his youngest child.

Hui Jia was approached by many of her partners with the intention to matchmaking their daughter to Xi Jian. But this time, more people offered their sons to her. They thought Ling Yue was her new secretary. Luckily she asked Ling Yue to accompany her. If Ling Yue came as an employee of King Empire and mingled with her colleagues, she was sure more people would surround her.

Xi Jian heard his mother's words in silence. He wanted to show everyone that Ling Yue was his.

His woman.

His wife!

But with a dangerous tail that blends in, he couldn't do it until its head caught.

"May I have a dance with you, My lady?"

Xi Jian almost roared to hear someone invite his wife for dance. "Why do I always see you everywhere?" Xi Jian sounded displeased when he saw that Ling Huansheng's grin was directed at him.

"Certainly because I was invited." He answered dismissively. Ling Huansheng really wasn't afraid being rude to Xi Jian.

"Mrs. Xi." he greeted Hua Jia who represented her father-in-law today. Xi Zihao could not attend. He was on happy vacation and enjoying his leisure time.

Ling Huansheng did not miss his courtesy before pulling Ling Yue towards the dance floor.

"I haven't seen you for days. How are you doing?" Ling Yue realized that the responsibility carried by Ling Huansheng was not a joke. He rarely went home and travels more. Dark circles began to form on his handsome face.

"Everything's good. This is a busy week so I need to pursue a few things before attending your wedding ceremony." He easily spinned Ling Yue in his arms.

"Take good care of your health." Ling Yue began to nag him. Ling Huansheng only muttered.

"It's been a long time since we danced." Ling Huansheng suddenly felt nostalgic.

Ling Yue smiled "Yeah. It's been a long time."

They chatted while remembering the old times, without realizing they've danced two songs. On the beginning to the third song, Xi Jian came between them.

"Until when do you want to dance with her?" His face was expressionless, but his voice held his temper.

Ling Huansheng handed Ling Yue's hand to him. "Tsk. What a jealous man. Soon you will be hated because of that." with that remark, he disappeared between the crowd.

Ling Yue's face warm up as her forehead brushed Xi Jian's lips. Her heart began to pumped as Xi Jian put his hand on Ling Yue's waist, possesively. They were so close in front of many people.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yue whispered.

"Many eyes are watching you. I hate it. You shouldn't have to dress up." Xi Jian protested. But even without makeup, Yue Ling was already beautiful. "You should keep wearing your glasses."

"I don't want to embarrass your mother." Ling Yue said.

"I don't care."

They began to dance intimately. Ling Yue felt her face burn as her eyes accidentally swept over the people who were staring at her.

"What have you been doing for this past two days?" Since they talked that day, they couldn't meet. Xi Jian tightened his schedule for their wedding.

"I started to pack some of my things." She spoke softly. "And checking our preparations."

"Don't pack everything. Just bring what you need. You can buy a new one. How about enjoy the rest of tonight at my place? We can have a dinner or watching some movies." Xi Jian looked into her eyes. "Let's go home, I'll wait for you outside."

He released Ling Yue, approached his mother and left. He wanted to spend every single second he could with her before he was busy again. Hui Jia looked at her and nodded. Ling Yue rushed using a different way out before anyone stopped her.

They stop by the convenience store to buy some groceries before going to his house.

"Welcome to our home." Xi Jian put all their groceries in the kitchen. "Tonight, please be ease and relax. I will cook for you."

Ling Yue stared at him unsure. "You cook?"

"You'll not dissapointed." He sounded boastful. "Now clean yourself and change your dress with whatever you like." Xi Jian pointed to his room.

Ling Yue hesitantly headed for Xi Jian's room

and opened his bathroom. She didn't need much time to take a shower. Ling Yue put on a bathrobe and walked into his closet.

Ling Yue scaned his wardrobe.The clothes were arranged according to their uses. His shirt hung neatly with his work coats. His t-shirts are folded according to color. Overall, Ling Yue acknowledged that Xi Jian was an organized person.

She pulled on a black shirt and white shorts. Wearing men's clothes was nothing new to her since she often borrowed Ling Huansheng's clothes when they lived together. Before wearing his T-shirt, Ling Yue's eyes stopped on Xi Jian's shirt. She argued on whether she should do it or not.

She was tempted to try it like a drama she often watched. Ling Yue closed the closet door to make sure no one saw her then took one of Xi Jian's shirt and wore it.

Ling Yue brought her body before the mirror. His sleeves fell far past her fingers. The tip of his shirt fell a bit in the middle of her thigh. There were no sexy words she could utter from herself.

"I'm not sure where this sexy level is." Ling Yue tilted her body. "Do I have to unbutton it?" Ling Yue unbuttoned her top to show her collarbone.

"Still. It's only looks like wearing oversized clothes." She clicked her tongue. "I better return it before it looks tangled." Ling Yue turned her body and froze.
