42 Chapter 42 : The Way He Looks At Her (2/2)

'That' woman who made him like a monster. Whenever he remembers how he followed that woman to the depths of hell, he could only laugh at his old self. She was slightly the reason why he kept having relationships with power hungry women. He wanted to understand them why they were like that but to his disappointment, they all have the same selfish reason.

Song Xiulan… no scratch that. It's now Xing Xiulan. That woman is his wife now and everything about her from the strands of her hair to her family reputation were all godly lawful good unlike those women he was accustomed of. Such delight can only be encountered like a blue moon. He must treasure her. His feelings right now might be unexplainable but he wanted her to stay and she's very important.

”Young master… artists from our company has came to visit and to say a few encouraging words.” Secretary Yang Bo suddenly appeared and caught Hongqi's attention. Actually he has been standing there for a good minute but Hongqi's attention was deeply somewhere else.

”Hmm… let them come in.” Hongqi nodded. He was a little disappointed that he had to host some of the visitors. He wanted to continue jotting down how to make Xiulan completely fall in love with him.

Quickly, the female celebrity visitors barged in like hoards of zombies once they got Secretary Yang Bo's signal to come in and one by one inundate Hongqi with their concerned words.

Hongqi can't help but slightly cover his nose. Their perfume reeks and since there were five of them, their perfumes mixed together and created an awful smell. The three celebrity male visitors can't help but scratch their heads. They might get scolded by their CEO because of their female companions. These visitors are Hongqi's top earning artists.

Hongqi gave them a good plastic smile and thanked them quite kindly. They were all a little bit shocked the way Hongqi treated them. They have been scarred for life with how Hongqi scolded and belittle them whenever he's in his office. But right now, he's nice like an angel and he's also giving a generous smile to them. He's trauma might have severed his head and that causes him to be kind. It was baffling for them.

Since Hongqi was in a good mood and very kind today, the visitors started to chat and share their stories during this week. Hongqi laughed with them and generously replied to each of their stories.

To Hongqi, he was just trying to be nice today since he's getting some tips from their stories. Especially the women's stories about their fans and teasing sweet moments they encountered from suitors. He can use this to sweep off Xiulan's heart. As we know, sometimes women have the same fantasies.

On the other hand, Xiulan was in a dilemma. Her foreign client had to change the meeting time quite early and she must go back to Hongqi's room to get her bag and laptop. It took her a little while to go back to Hongqi's room floor because she had to address more details to Secretary Dandan about the change of schedule. Of course she has to meet other clients later as well so she must adjust them quickly.

Because of her panic, she didn't have the time to knock on Hongqi's door and straightforward barged in. She was surprised by the amount of people inside looking at her. She didn't expect that they would be here this early.

”H-hi…” Xiulan awkwardly greeted and smiled at them.

She darted towards Hongqi's bedside to get her things.

”My love, my artists visited me!” Hongqi proudly said and happily gazes at her.

Xiulan can't help but get annoyed to that new endearment he muster to create. 'My love'… gosh how cheesy and cringey!

”That's nice… I'm Xing Xiulan by the way.” Xiulan greeted them and one by one she shook their hands. The women obviously plastered a fake smile while she greets them. But she doesn't mind and care about that.

”Thank you for visiting, Hongqi and please take care of my husband for awhile; I have to go to a meeting.” She smiled at them and quickly retrieved her things quite awkwardly.

While she was checking her stuff if she missed anything, Hongqi suddenly thought of something.

”Wait! Where is my good bye kiss?” Hongqi demanded while Xiulan was checking the inside of her purse if her car keys were inside. She gave a dreadful look at Hongqi and insinuating and expression of ”Are you serious?”

Hongqi shrugged her annoyed expression and made a waiting stance.

Xiulan imaginary rolled her eyes and grunted secretly. How she hates him right now.

Since it was only a kiss, she quickly landed a kiss on his left cheek but the darn man wanted more.

”Why are you shy right now? You usually kiss me on the lips.” Hongqi pouted and made up a story to trap her to kiss him using their live audience. This was the perfect time to use the visitors.

Xiulan silently curses this infuriating man. Gosh he's really asking for this?! When did she kiss him on the lips? She doesn't even remember the last time they kissed. This fool, she wanted to pull his hair.

Secretary Yang Bo almost cough blood. He can't help but admire his boss' ways on how to annoy his wife. Obviously the young mistress doesn't want to PDA but the boss was quite pushy today.

”Husband, you are not so cute today.” She stated but paired her words with a charming smile that hid her murderous intent.

Xiulan's running out of time and if she ignore this man's petty request, she's gonna have to pay for it later and it'll be far worse.

She quickly pecked his lips and smiled with that 'You are so dead later' kind of meaning.

”See you later, my love.” Honqi happily said while he watches Xiulan quickly flee the room. At least he scored a kiss today using these visitors.

He has wanted to kiss her for so long but he doesn't even know where to start. She was always on guard and if he tries to do it while they were alone together, he might get a slap instead. He doesn't want any of that.

Hongqi curved his lips in delight and his visitors were the witness of their boss' infatuation towards his wife.His eyes and smile says it all.

He might have the playboy status but no one has seen how he has shown affection to a woman. They were used to the sight of women flirting with him and him paying attention to these women. But him asking for kisses was a first.

He never had that glint in his eyes before.He looked at her the way all women want to be looked at by a man. [1]
