Chapter 30 - See You At Home, Dear Wife (2/2)

"No, they don't. A husband just needs to miss his beautiful wife's voice. That reason is enough. Isn't it?" He asked anxiously.

"Hmm... Maybe." Her 'maybe' was like a thread he needed at this moment. He smiled brightly.

"So, when is my dear wife coming home?"

"Why? Don't you have work to do at the office?"

"I have only a short unimportant meeting in 10 minutes and after that, I'll be free. So, I thought we should binge watch Black Butler. After all, it was a promise to my wife." Ye Jie asked with a hopeful expression.

The meeting described as 'unimportant' happened to be about a new business venture. It was anything but unimportant.

He waited patiently for her reply. Upon hearing about Black Butler, she was really excited and it took a lot of effort to control her scream. "I'll see you in 2 hours, then?"

"Okay. See you at home, dear wife." Ye Jie was all smiles with her answer. But he didn't know the effect of his simple 'see you at home' on Xu Mey. The thought of having a place to call home made her heart skip a beat.

She felt like an idiot for losing her composure over an ordinary sentence.

Li Qiao was watching her while she was on the phone, he couldn't hear anything from where he was standing but her smile was enough to make everything clear to him. Her sweet smile brought a faint smile to linger on his own lips.

He walked over to her and sat beside her as he rubbed her head lovingly. She gave him a radiant smile which he reciprocated happily.

Xu Mey was placing some side dishes on Li Qiao's bowl when they heard a knock on the door and after a moment, Song Yuling sauntered inside. Looking at Xu Mey, she paused for a second. Song Yuling with her beauty and aura deserved the title of Goddess Song in the industry. She had a long, slender, and beautiful pair of legs. Her phoenix-like eyes with long straight black hair intensified her beauty.

Li Qiao quirked his brow in a questioning manner looking at her just standing there. Song Yuling bit her lip in nervousness. "President Li, I signed the contract with Director Yang."

"Ms. Kim has already informed me about that. You didn't need to come personally." She stood there with her head down. "If you have nothing more to say, you can leave." He really wasn't giving any face to his company's top-star. Song Yuling didn't bother him any further and left briskly.

"You really don't want to give her another chance?" Xu Mey asked after she saw her disappearing figure.

"You asked me to give her another chance with her dreams and I did. But asking for a second chance in my life? Isn't that a bit too much? Focus on eating now." His statement left no room for further discussion.
