Chapter 108 - Busy Week (1/2)

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.”
