Chapter 62 (2/2)

“It’s because of your phone call today!” Once Du Lei Si thought of it again, she became very annoyed, her tone also became a few degrees heavier, “if you have need anything you should just call my cell phone, why must you call the front desk line? Did you know you almost had exposed my ident.i.ty today!”

What if others discover her travelling in the President’s car after work? Even if she has ten mouths she still wouldn’t be able to explain the situation.

“You don’t want to let other’s know of our relations.h.i.+p?” Lian Jun’s voice suddenly became serious.

Du Lei Si who was in the middle of complaining suddenly froze, she realize her att.i.tude before may have come across as excesses, she quickly tried to explain in a sweet and girly voice: “What I meant to say is, in fact our relations.h.i.+p as long as we know it, it’s fine. We don’t necessarily have to let the employee’s at company know as well…… don’t you think so?” She said, secretly took a glance at Lian Jun’s reaction from the corners of her eyes.

He started driving the car and did not answer her.

Sure enough, the President still got angry!

That day, when they returned home, for the entire night Lian Jun ignored Du Lei Si, even when she was sleeping, he is still in the study looking through files, which made Du Lei Si feel extremely suffocated.

Actually this time she really didn’t do anything wrong, she just didn’t want to become the topic of gossip among the entire company, is this demand too much to ask for? Besides, even if her att.i.tude was slightly poor, she also quickly apologized to him, why must the President fuss over such a small issue with her?

The more Du Lei Si thought, the more she felt the President was being too excessive, ever since they wedded, regardless of whether the issue is big or small he’ll make the decision, she never once only disobeyed his commands. In retrospect, this is simply the model of a male chauvinism! New China was founded 60 years ago, women have been liberated for already more than half a century, she as an independent contemporary Chinese women, how could she be lenient towards villains and let them grow, letting the President indulge on such bad habits of the old society?

She absolutely can not compromise!

Du Lei Si clenched her hands into a fist, raising it in a forty-five degrees angle looking up at the sky, she vowed to fight the forces of evil, vowed to fight to the end!

The next day, Du Lei Si woke up early at the break of dawn, she got on the bus to head to work without eating breakfast.

Since it was too early, it wasn’t even morning peak when she reached the company, the entire office building was even closed.

After staring at the closed-door in a daze, Du Lei Si felt hungry.

Ah! If she knew earlier she would have eaten something before heading out today, and only when she has eaten enough will she have the strength to head into battle with the President!

Du Lei Si regretfully rubbed her belly and started thinking whether were any breakfast shop nearby, while her eyes scouring her surroundings, suddenly a containing bag breakfast was presented before her.

Du Lei Si thought if it was the President, she would forgive him.

However, as she looked down at the hand that was holding the paper bag, she was filled with disappointment.

“It’s you?” She dryly crooked the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Yin stared blankly at her: “Du Du, you are in a bad mood?”

“No la.” She shook her head, “I’m just a little sleepy…… that’s right, how come you’re here?” Du Lei Si quizzically looked at Xiao Yin, it’s only six o’clock in the morning, for him to suddenly appeared here holding the breakfast, it’s simply too strange!

“Stop looking,” Xiao Yin smiled, “That’s right, I followed you here.”

“What?” Du Lei Si looked at him with astonishment, “did you followed me?”

“Don’t make it sound so bad! I was on my morning run and pa.s.sed the entrance of your home, early in the morning I saw you running out, I was afraid something might happen to you, so I just follow you.”

“Morning run?” Du Lei Si eyed Xiao Yin from head to toe, and indeed he was wearing a pair of sportswear, “I did not expect such a playboy like you would have such healthy living habits.”

Xiao Yin laughed: “Du Du, you wouldn’t think I was the kind to indulge in wine all day, be in the world of wine and women, a man who couldn’t differentiate morning from night, right?”

Du Lei Si nodded.

For a moment, Xiao Yin was choked and said: “Well, I admit there was a period of time where I was relatively wild, but……” He winked at her, “I’ve been abstinence for a long time.”

Poof! Du Lei Si spray out her saliva.

“Xiao Da Gong Zi[2], you wouldn’t be having intentions to become a monk, right?” Du Lei Si didn’t know why, but her eyes suddenly appeared Jordan Chan‘s version of Wei Xiao Bao[3], wearing a ca.s.sock[4]. Facing such a doublet scenes, not giving him any face she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

[2] 大公子 Da Gong Zi: son of n.o.bility

[3] 韋小寶 Wéi Xiáo Bǎo is the protagonist of the novel, The Deer and the Cauldron. During one of the series task Kangxi Emperor gave him, he was order to become a monk to protect the late Emperor Shunzhi.

[4] What a ca.s.sock looks like

“Du Du, you want to laugh at me, you also don’t have to make it so obvious, right?” Xiao Yin frowned.

Du Lei Si was choked with laughter, holding onto her stomach: “So…… sorry! I just feel that it’s very…… very funny! Hahaha……”

Xiao Yin was speechless.

After a while, when she finally finished laughing, she had felt as if she was going to faint, so very bluntly she took the hamburg from Xiao Yin’s hands and maliciously bit a mouthful of it.

“En…… it’s…… very…… deilicious……” She spat out those few words as she continued chewing on the hamburger.

“Du Du, you behaving like this isn’t very lady like.” Xiao Yin said.

Du Lei Si merely swallowed the last bit of the hamburger down, and stared at Xiao Yin as if she was looking at an alien, “You are too OUT[5]! I’m tell you in this time and age there’s no need for one to present themselves like a wise and virtuous woman, a woman who lacks virtuous is talented[6], understand?”

[5] What Du Lei Si meant as Xiao Yin is too old fas.h.i.+on.

[6] Du Du changed the words ‘talent'(才) and ‘virtuous'(德) around in the idiom: 女子無才便是德 which translates as ‘a woman who lacks talent is virtuous.’

Xiao Yin was choked speechless.

“Du Du, you are really special, worthy of being the woman I like.”

This time it was Du Lei Si who was choked speechless, covering her mouth as she coughed.

Brother, I’m still eating my breakfast! Can you not frighten me like this? She didn’t openly say this, however she used sad eyes to silently condemned Xiao Yin.

“Du Du, I’m being serious.” Xiao Yin’s expression suddenly became solemn, “I like you,”

“You! *Cough cough*…… *cough cough cough*……”

Once again Du Lei Si choked until tears stream down her face, she continued to cough as she wiped away the tears, “You don’t tell me those bouquet of roses were sent by you ah?”

Xiao Yin nodded.

This time Du Lei Si was completely speechless.

He wouldn’t be serious, right? He likes her? Oh my G.o.d! It’s unimaginable!

In the past, she has always thought Xiao Yin’s frivolous behaviour was due to his Playboy habits, she never thought that he would unexpectedly earnestly like her, this is really hard to accept!

Besides, she was a married woman, although her family contain a male chauvinism President who slightly liked to bully her, who’s slightly selfish, but also slightly parsimonious. Even though she’s been crazily abused, however she likes him to death!

Thinking to this point, Du Lei Si could not help but feel array grief.

“Du Du?” Xiao Yin’s voice interrupted her thoughts, “are you listening to me?”

Uh

Du Lei Si paused for a moment and thought of the President, she actually didn’t pay any attention to what Xiao Yin said after, if he (Xiao Yin) knew she was absent-minded while he was confessing, he must feel very sad. Du Lei Si pondered for a moment before she decided to lie to him: “Oh, I’ve heard it! How can I not have heard it? Hahaha……” She laughed rather guilty.

Xiao Yin’s complexion darken: “What are your thoughts?”

“Me……” Du Lei Si creased her eyebrows together, what did Xiao Yin just say to her? She estimated it must have been a deep love confession vindicating his feelings, ah forget it! Doesn’t matter what he said she’s going to decline regardless!

She made an awkward expression as she said: “As a matter of fact…… I don’t have anything worth for you to like! I…… I’m really stupid, put off my work with all sorts of excuses, I can’t even differentiate North, South, East and West…… balabalabala……” Du Lei Si racked her brains out to express her shortcomings, “So, I think you should think things thoroughly……”

“I just want you.” Xiao Yin interrupted her speech, his tone was very firm.

Du Lei Si’s mouth twitch: Handsome guy, I’ve said so much, how come you still don’t understand my intentions? She harden her heart, closing her eyes, she lowered her head as she said: “I am sorry, I can not accept you.”

Suddenly the surrounding became very quiet, Xiao Yin’s eyes suddenly darken even more, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled as she said: “Actually, I had expected this……” Once he said this he leaned forward and hugged her tightly.

Du Lei Si became slightly ignorant. Why did he suddenly hug her? Her astonished soul haven’t returned when he suddenly planted a warm kiss on her forehead.

“Thank you, at least giving me a chance to kiss you.” Xiao Yin let go of her, and took a step back, “however……” He blink, “if you suddenly like me, I will return to your side the very chance I get.”

He then turned to leave, leaving Du Lei Si still in a daze.

What give him a chance to kiss her? My mother, who can tell her what he just said?!

T_____T

Just as she was thinking hard on the issue, a black Land Rover not far from her slowly moving, disappeared in the corner.

A cool breeze blow over making Du Lei Si s.h.i.+vered.
