38 Chapter 38 : Xiulan Hates The Socialites (1/2)

Even though Xiulan's body was aching badly and exhausted, she can't sleep peacefully and her mind was clouded of different concerns.

The fact that she saw a lot of deaths today and the feeling of the dead person near her made her shudder. Also add that her husband confessed that he has people stalking her every everyday! How much does he know about her?! Goodness it made her restless.

It really annoyed Xiulan so much. How can he nonchalantly stalk her life? She's not even harming him yet he had the audacity to monitor her.

”Did he think that I will cheat on him?” Xiulan shockingly thought.

All though this nosy husband was one of the reasons why she was restless and angry, she's still thankful that he's currently here beside her. She can't fathom sleeping all by herself tonight. The events in GEA kept repeating and it's almost like a nightmare for her.

Unbeknownst to Xiulan that she was staring at Hongqi's face. Her mind was somewhere else but her line of sight was on Hongqi. She didn't even notice that he was also staring at her.

”Why is this woman staring at me?” Hongqi sweated and asked himself. He couldn't sleep as well so he keeps on tossing and turning. This will be the second time that he'll be sleeping together with Xiulan and it somewhat made him agitated.

He has this irresistible urge to hug her while they are sleeping. But heck she's currently injured. Cuddling is not the best thing right now. He wanted to feel her but she might get awkward or uneasy.

Maybe because of he was abstaining for so long that he's thirsty for some action or even a skin contact. And the person he wants to do all those activities is with this little wife beside him.

Gosh, only an in denial person will say that she's not attractive! With that innocent face, peerless snowy white skin and soft to touch. He wanted more of it!

”God damn, horny hormones.” Hongqi gritted his teeth. He was so sexually frustrated.

Hongqi glances at his wife again and her eyes are now close. She seems to be heavily thinking of something. Hongqi thought that she might be depressed that she's fully injured and can't go to work. A workaholic person hated hospitals and getting sick or injured.

Hongqi tried to calm himself and go to sleep. Eventually when he heard Xiulan's tiny breathing sounds, it made him more calm and sleepy. It was like an ASMR for him.

The next morning, Xiulan groggily scanned the room if someone else was present. She just woke up and her body was stiff. She slept in the same position and she could only move her head and legs.

Seeing that no else is in the room to help her move, she carefully stands up from the bed and made sure that her movements will not stress her wounds and fracture. It was painful but she must endure. She's in this predicament for almost ten minutes.

Xiulan has finally able to get herself sit up properly on the corner of the bed. She sat there to regain some energy. Just moving normally already depleted her energy.

”This sucks.” she aggrieved.

She was about to stand up to look for her bag and phone when the door suddenly sprung open.

Hongqi was already in his suit and looking dapper as ever. Behind him were Bai Rong and Lau Zhu. Both women seem to have secret resentment with each other.

Hongqi was holding a glass of water and he went towards Xiulan and stands in front of her. He offered the glass to Xiulan and some vitamins to help her get some energy even without eating anything.

Xiulan took the glass and vitamins. She thanked Hongqi then she drank the vitamins and water while Hongqi talks.

”I have to go to the office soon. Miss Lau is finally here to take care of you and also Bai Rong to give you the proper meal so you can recuperate quickly.” Hongqi informs as he briefly gave a glance at the two women.

”I will be in the office later than usual but of course I will still go home and take care of you.” He announced like a dotting husband. He lovingly kissed Xiulan's forehead before he proceed to advice the two women to take care of his wife then left the room.

The two women were bewildered by Hongqi's special display of affection for his wife. Though it was normal for a married couple, they did not expect him to be this gentle and sweet. He was ruthless to his exes and peers. It was really a perplexing sight for them.

Xiulan saw the two women's baffled expression. She wanted to smirk at them. ”Fools, he's just acting because there are other people present! All for the love of his image.” She secretly scolded them. Though his actions last night was rather sweet as well even though there was only the two of them. But Xiulan shrugged that thought and only speculated that he must be really worried.

Lau Zhu was the first one to approach Xiulan. ”Missus, let me help you get dressed.” Zhu offered.

”Okay, thank you. I'm sorry that you have to do this. It's not even in your job description.” Xiulan apologethically said.

”It's okay, missus. I'm fully at fault why you end up like this.” Zhu sweated and whenever she thinks about her negligence she just wanted to beat herself.

Xiulan pointed her the pink closet near Hongqi's walk-in closet. She was thankful that are extra clothes inside the master's bedroom. Most of her new clothes were inside the separate room.

Zhu opens the pink closet and rummages to get some clothes for her lady boss.

”Ehem...” Bai Rong coughed to get their attention. Xiulan looks at Bai Rong and Zhu glances but she puts her attention back to the closet's drawers.

”Ah, Miss Bai. Good morning.” Xiulan beamed at Bai Rong while Zhu furrowed her eyebrows.

Zhu didn't like the way Bai Rong talked to Hongqi this morning, she was already there by 6 AM and was only waiting for Xiulan to wake up. She waited in the living room while watching the morning news and variety show, Hongqi let her in and told her to wait there and watch the tv. Time to time she would look at her phone to reply to Young Master Mo. Then by 8 AM, Bai Rong came in with such a domineering aura and snobbish look. She greeted her and introduced herself as the madam's new bodyguard but all she got was a snob from Bai Rong.

Hongqi just finished eating his breakfast when Bai Rong came in. Bai Rong greeted Hongqi quite enthusiastically and even initiated boring topics. There was an obvious flirtratious attempt and to think that this woman is working for the wife made Lau Zhu angry. She became on guard to this white lotus. To think she's the personal nutrionist of her boss, this white lotus must have tried to poison the lady boss but didn't pursue by the looks of it.

”I heard from Young Master that you got an accident. I will change the menu for this week and next week so you can recover quickly. I will also advise you to drink and eat dishes with collagen so that your fractured bones can heal faster.” Bai Rong informs seriously. Her words seem to be safe and her advises were helpful.

Xiulan happily nodded at Bai Rong and thanked her. Bai Rong excuses herself to leave the room so she can start her work.

Lau Zhu still has that sharp look on her eyes but eventually disappeared when Xiulan talked.

”Bai Rong is a nice lady, she's just snobbish.” Xiulan nonchalantly mutters. She knows that Zhu might be warry over Bai Rong. She was like that before but she trusts Bai Rong that she will not do something funny in her food. She can seduce the wicked Hongqi but she better now give her any grievances.

Zhu nodded and understood her lady boss' words. She find it really amazing how this lady boss can read someone's mind by reading facial expressions. She also gave a look at her last night when she was thinking of dirty thoughts about the couple.

To change the topic, Zhu reported her the information she got from her reliable brothers.

”I have here the information of the five dead men. It seems that they are college students that were in tight money problems. They were recruited by the TERRO organization.” Zhu started.

Xiulan nodded and listens attentively. ”Go on.”

Zhu continues ”The group was established two years ago and they have been actively recruiting young adults by bribing them money and manipulating their mind. They seem to be a high tech terrorist group. From hacking money through the internet, recruiting new members using social media and they even have extraordinary torturing devices. This group is quite special and we may need a strong back up in case we need to fight them.” Lau Zhu sternly reported and handed the tablet with the information of each dead members.

The report on the tablet was already in a pdf format.
