34 Chapter 34 : Hongqi Being Weird (2/2)
”I have to go to the office earlier than usual since I have a lot of things to do. I can't wait for Miss Bai anymore since she usually comes by 8 am.” Xiulan explains as she bites the scrumptious looking sandwich she made.
Hongqi gulped and felt a sudden hunger. The sandwich looks so good. ”Can I have some of that sandwich too? I think I'll go to the office earlier than usual as well.” Hongqi lied. He doesn't know why but he wanted to look at this woman's face more than usual. He's like hypnotized and it makes him calm.
Xiulan didn't bother to complain and just made a new sandwich for him. It was not a submissive move. Hongqi kindly asked so she just did it and she doesn't want to be in a bad mood so early in the morning.
As soon as Hongqi bites on the sandwich, he felt like he's on cloud 9. It was so delicious. It's been so long when he ate a snack as delicious like this. He always eats in fancy restaurants or a chef makes something for him. He was deprived of home cooked meals or snacks.
Xiulan was tidying up her plates so Hongqi immediately finishes his first bite and offered to give Xiulan a ride. ”I'll just finish this and take a bath. I'll drive you to your office. Nowadays, some people are being brave and don't seem to know their place.” Hongqi secretly made a side comment against Mo Dejiang.
”Huh?” Xiulan was stupefied by Hongqi's last sentence. She was washing her plate and cup when Hongqi made some ambiguous comments. She glanced at Hongqi and all she got was the man enjoying his sandwich. ”What was that for?” She confusedly asks herself.
While waiting for Hongqi, Xiulan was in the living room watching the morning news yet her mind was somewhere else.
Her thoughts were full of things of what she's going to do today and coming days. Her schedule was packed and all she could think was when will this tormenting busy life will end. Her reverie was interrupted when Hongqi clicked his fingers in front of her.
”Let's go?” Hongqi was wearing Yves Saint Laurent black suit and his hair was down, not even combed properly. He kind of looks like a rock star.
”Mmm… your hair…” Xiulan got up from her seat and noticed his hair. Usually Hongqi will never go out without styling his hair.
”It will take long to style my hair. I will ask the in-house hair stylist in my office later. For now, let me drive you to your office.” Hongqi said and winked at Xiulan.
Xiulan didn't think much of Hongqi's words. For her, he was just being extra nice today. He might be in a good mood since most of his artists won an award.
Though the penthouse and Xiulan's office were really near each other. Xiulan didn't feel like walking today that's why she agreed to go with Hongqi.
This will be the first time that Xiulan will ride Hongqi's car without a chauffeur to drive them. Also the time Xiulan will experience Hongqi's driving skills.
”Are you attending Golden Eagle Awards?” Xiulan asked while she waits for Hongqi to turn on the ignition of the car. They were now inside Hongqi's Roll Royce Phantom.
”Hm? Yeah. Five of my artists are nominated and they are performing. I'm there to give them some encouragement. Also of course to talk business stuff with some people.” Hongqi explained and started the ignition.
”I have a question. If I use that all pass card you offered before, will I really be able to access any rooms in any events that you are going to attend?” Xiulan curiously asked. She actually has been thinking of getting that all pass card. It will be really helpful for her and Lau Zhu.
”Yeah, of course. It has the same power of face recognition. Like recognizing my face, everyone will give you an automatic pass.” Hongqi winked. ”And why are you asking? Don't tell me you're planning to sneak in to Andy Gao's room?!” Hongqi started to annoyingly pry.
”Ew, no! Of course not. I'm just asking.” Xiulan immediately rebuked Hongqi's stupid claims. Why would she want to be with Andy Gao? Heck.
Hongqi snorted. ”Or are you planning to snu snu with me while my artists are performing? Hmm?” Hongqi naughtily teased. He even made his eyebrows go up and down while he grins at Xiulan.
”Oh my God can you stop? Your imagination is wild!” Xiulan freaked out from Hongqi's wild and sexual claims. What the hell is wrong with him?
Hongqi laughed so loudly. Exposing his white teeth and that childish grin made him look younger.
The short ride was full of Hongqi's teasing and laughter. Thankfully they were now in Xiulan's company building. Xiulan can now finally escape from this weird husband.
Hongqi's car managed to get people's attention. It was parked in front of the main entrance and all the people going to work would take a second look at his car.
”Thanks for the ride.” Xiulan said. She wanted to get out his car as soon as possible. She was about to open the door when Hongqi stopped her.
”What?” Xiulan frowned from Hongqi's sudden intrusion.
”Thank you reward?” Hongqi naughtily grinned.
Xiulan rolled her eyes. ”I already said my thanks.”
”Hmm… I think a peck on the cheeks will be a nicer reward.” Hongqi suggested.
”You're hopeless. I'm going out.” Xiulan was not in the mood to be playful. She wants to get her work done, asap.
”Oops.” Hongqi held Xiulan's hands to stop her. He doesn't know why but he badly wants that kiss but can't say it directly.
He's only asking for a peck on the cheeks. Goodness, he never asked such a lousy request. He was never desperate.
Is this the effect of abstaining for too long? He gotten so horny that a peck can solve anything? What a disgrace for him!
”Hongqi, what's wrong with you?” Xiulan can't help but ask. This man is acting so weird. She was fine with him being clingy and domineering. But when he asks stuff that real couples do made her feel like it was wrong for their current situation and status.
”Dear wife, just a peck.” Hongqi pleaded.
Xiulan grimaced. If his subordinates saw this, they might think it's already the end of the world.
Xiulan sighed. This man won't stop unless she does it. He was so hopeless and annoying. Xiulan was about to give him a kiss on the cheeks when Hongqi suddenly thought of something.
”Wait.” Hongqi interjected again then he let go of Xiulan's hands. He quickly went outside of his car and dashed to Xiulan's side.
Xiulan was suddenly confused.
Hongqi opened the door for Xiulan and helped her get out of the car like a gentleman then he wantonly whispered ”Now my reward.”
Xiulan's eyes became bigger and shocked. ”Are you serious? People are looking.” Xiulan angrily whispered. There were people who managed to identify that it was the famous Xing Hongqi.
Hongqi did not listen and he even created kissy sounds before grinning naughtily again. Hongqi waited for the kiss and even angled his face.
Xiulan sighed vehemently and glared at Hongqi for a good 20 seconds before giving up and kiss him on the cheeks.
Since Hongqi was so unreasonably horny and naughty today, he quickly faced Xiulan and the timing was suavely right. Xiulans soft lips landed on Hongqi's lips like a magnet.
Xiulan was so surprised when their lips touched. She quickly regained her stance and move away from Hongqi's playfulness.
”A rogue.” She mumbles as she heavily glares at her mischievous husband.
Hongqi bit his lips to suppress his laughter.
”Hmph!” Xiulan weakly elbowed Hongqi's stomach andquickly ran away from him without uttering a word. She was so mad at him.
”How can he be so shameless in broad daylight and even in a public place?!” Xiulan angrily complained to herself.Next time, she must learn to say no to that man. Say no then run like Forest Gump!
