11 Chapter 11 : Xiulan Doesnst Care (2/2)
He gave back the device to Yang Bo and quickly signed the first document on his hands.
”Please come to Seven Dragons Garden to get the rest of the files. I'll be having my dinner with Xiulan there.” Hongqi said and gathered the other unfinished documents inside a file case and took it with him before he got out of his office.
He was kind of nervous that Xiulan might get a malicious idea between him and Yuming. He must clear this immediately. As possible he wanted Xiulan to have a different image of him. He must be a gentleman and the perfect husband to her eyes. He wouldn't let the scandals and the bad rumors ruin their good relationship.
When he's about to get inside his car, he saw Xiulan taking a nap. She must have beenvery tired from all the shopping and also the drama awhile ago.
He got in inside the car and created a loud noise when he closed the door. It woke up Xiulan from her slumber.
”You're back.” Xiulan sleepily said. She was squinting her eyes before she rub it with her right hand.
”I'm sorry I took so long. There were a lot of problems in the office.” Hongqi said and pressed on the word 'problems'. He concentrated on Xiulan's reaction.
Just like a hawk, he eyed every movement on Xiulan's face and body language. If he saw something out of the ordinary then she must be upset. He'll try to coax her.
”Did you manage to fix it? I saw Gong Yuming. It must be something important.” She yawned and quickly fixed her sitting posture. Xiulan honestly included Gong Yuming. She's not jealous or anything but she was just completely curious why Gong Yuming was there.
”Yeah. I still have some documents to sign but it can wait. Yuming was there to visit me and I endedmy relationship with her. She will not interfere anymore, so no worries.” Hongqi nonchalantly assured.
”Hongqi, please don't mind me. We're getting married for our own benefits. You can still date her but please don't get caught by the public. My family has a reputation to protect.” Xiulan said and her face says it all that she's not bothered by him having a mistress but she's more worried by her family's reputation. Xiulan will be marrying him but he must at least be considerate.
Hongqi was taken aback by Xiulan's words. If he was in his naughty state then he might have tons of side chicks even without Xiulan's consent. But it's different now. He must have a nice image this time. He'll be back to his demon state when everything is under his control.
He needs to win Xiulan's heart and the people of S city. If he manage to clean his image after getting married, then everything will be easy.
”Uhm... Xiulan, I want this marriage of ours to be in good harmony. Excess baggage like third parties is unnecessary. I want this marriage to be problem free as much as possible.” Hongqi said and peeked at Xiulan's expression.
He can't afford to make her upset. She's the key to his win in the next election. She might not think of it but she's a huge asset for his upcoming campaign and he will not let anybody ruin his plans.
If he has to stay loyal to her then he will do it. He already had a fair share of his own harem before. He doesn't need that anymore.
His soon to be wife only curled her nose and scratch the tip of it. Xiulan usually do that kind of gesture or mannerism when she's not sure if she'll agree or disagree on to something.
”Alright.” she said. ”But you can openly date anyone since I'm not gonna give you any sexual pleasures.” Xiulan bluntly said like she didn't say anything explicit. Her blank face and calm demeanor made her look like an ice queen. She really has no intention in making their relationship move to the next level.
Hongqi snorted on what he heard and cheekily smiled. No woman has ever refused his advances. He'll make Xiulan beg for him. Though he doesn't have any special feelings for his future wife, she's still important like a friend and ally. Also he likes making stubborn women beg for him. This will be fun for him.
Since everything is in his favor, though he still doesn't know what's inside Xiulan's head, he proudly knows he can solve whatever problem arises between them. His mood got better than ever before. He started putting on the safety belt and drove the car to Seven Dragons Garden.
