25 Chapter 25 : Distress Call From S University (2/2)

Hongqi's teeth clenched when he heard someone call his name in such a ghostly manner. He glanced at the source of the noise when he saw a lady with such unruly hair peeking at the adjacent door.

”Wah!” Hongqi screamed. He was so surprised to see someone there. But eventually he realizes it was his wife Xiulan.

”You! What are you doing there peeking so creepily!?” He lectured and went near Xiulan. He fully open the adjacent door to have a full view of this crazy woman.

Xiulan wanted to laugh. She didn't plan on scaring him but she might have looked like a real creep awhile ago.

”Sorry, I was just trying to call you and ask if it's okay to talk you right now. You were not replying to my messages.” Xiulan apologetically said and stared at Hongqi's eyes.

Hongqi did remember that Xiulan sent him a message earlier. He wasn't able to reply back due to the never ending debate in his last meeting for today.

”Sure. What is it about?” Hongqi said as he casually entered Xiulan's room.

The room has white walls and has a minimalist feel to it. Two 32 inch monitors on her desktop, complete with nicely organized wiring and outlets. Her bed was a simple black and white decor and a random big white alpaca stuffed toy near the pillows. Then a small white bookcase and white closet for house clothes. The floor is covered with a tan nylon fiber carpet so it was fine walking there bare-foot.

”It's about the three Rongs.” Xiulan started.

Hongqi sat on her bed and tested how soft it was before looking and replying to Xiulan. ”What about the three Rongs?”

”Actually just the two Rongs. Bai Rong and Wu Rong.” Xiulan corrected.

”And?” Hongqi patiently asked. He doesn't have any idea what Xiulan is trying to tell him. As far as he remembers, all the three Rongs are doing great with their job. He thought that two of them might have offended her that's why she wanted to talk.

”I may need them to stop coming here during the night. Maybe Bai Rong can specifically send or arrange the dinner earlier. Then Wu Rong can just pick the clothes I would wear for the whole week. I'll be very busy this coming days and I think them being here at night to serve makes me really anxious.” Xiulan carefully requested and explained. She wanted all her 'me' time to herself.

Hongqi was listening tightly and just kept nodding.”Alright. Your wish is my command.” Hongqi nonchalantly said and winked at Xiulan.

Xiulan blinked her eyes multiple times. She didn't expect that Hongqi would agree so easily.

”Is it really okay?” Xiulan asked again. She's knows that Hongqi is quite strict. He might be playful most of the time but sometimes his strictness would flow out during crucial times or when suddenly he's out of character.

”Yes. Of course. It's not a big deal. I understand you very well, my dear. After a whole day of work, you just wanted to be alone.” Hongqi warmly smiles at Xiulan and also winked at her again.

At that fleeting moment, Xiulan thought Hongqi was very cool and handsome.

After the talk, Hongqi went back to the masters bedroom to take a bath and change his clothes. Xiulan was left in her room again and she contemplated over S University's distress call.

Xiulan doesn't know where to start. Unlike in her old apartment, she can hack anytime anywhere she wants in that place. But now she's living with Hongqi and in an expensive penthouse, it'll be hard to freely use the internet.

Not 100% sure that Hongqi will be monitoring Xiulan's home activities but still it will reach him that she's visiting very dangerous sites. Using VPN or if she tries to mask her IP in this place will not be helpful as well.

”Tsk.” Xiulan pursed her lips. ”Should I get a different ISP for myself in this penthouse? But that would be suspicious. Should I use that damn 6 years old portable wifi instead?” Xiulan muttered to herself. That portable wifi needs to be reloaded with cash but it has a turtle bandwidth speed.

”Ugggh!” Xiulan stressfully tried to pull her hair. She doesn't know anymore. Being a hacker and Mrs. Xing is not a good combination at all!

”Ack! I'll just stay in the office longer than ever. I can't let that man know more about me.” Xiulan declared and exhaustedly threw her body on her soft bed.

From now on she must be careful with her secret 'hacker' identity. Just like what she said earlier. The word Mrs. Xing and hacker are not a good combination at all! It screams trouble and drama.
