44 Chapter 44 : Mysterious Wife (1/2)

Hongqi's attention was concentrated on the top up voted comments of the most trending article about his wife. Apparently, the military and president of the country has formally given Xiulan an honorary title and also an official announcement that she's now part of the country's national heroes.

The military's claims stirred a huge buzz to both entertainment news, political news and international news.

”Wait… what is this random news?” a netizen posted a comment on the most trending article about Xiulan as the 'modern day Mulan'.

”Now Xing Hongqi's pretty wife is legendary. Can any woman even top her as the best girl and wifey?” another one posted that garnered eighteen thousand up votes.

”Hold up! So Hongqi's wife is now considered a national hero? What an upgrade! She has the coveted position as Mrs. Xing and now an official modern heroine. How to be her?” another netizen commented that garnered thirty thousand up votes.

”Gosh, I feel bad for Hongqi's exes. They are now like turds compared to Mrs. Xing Xiulan. Now how can other thirsty women even steal him from her?” netizens are even comparing Xiulan's grace to Hongqi's celebrity exes.

”A CEO of an IT company and now a national hero because of her computer skills… I really can't fathom how godly her skills are that she even managed to help our country like this. Please can someone organize her fanmeet so we can shake her divine hands?” some were really amazed by Xiulan's skills.

”Once they divorce, I will immediately hunt Song Xiulan so I can marry her. An amazing woman indeed.” One netizen commented that garnered five thousand up votes and a lot of commenters replied that he should fall in line. It seems that Xiulan has garnered a lot of fanboys.

”This bastard… what makes you think we will divorce?” Hongqi can't help but utter while he reads each of the comments. Just by reading the 'waiting for a divorce' comments infuriates him.

Hongqi angrily threw his iPad Pro on the coffee table in front of him. He turned off the TV and then massages his temples. He just got out of the hospital, did a lot of paperwork awhile ago and now his whole system can't seem to take such surprising news. He felt like he has an incoming headache.

How can that little wife of his managed to sneak away her secrets from him? He can't help but feel disappointed to himself. His wife who is always at home or at work managed to hide a huge secret about her. Gosh, this stresses him so much.

Hongqi knew this incoming headache will continue and will stress him the whole day.

To get this bothersome feeling go away, he must talk to that little wife of his as soon as possible.

”Secretary Yang Bo, please arrange a dinner with my heroic wife. Anywhere is fine as long as she can come.” Hongqi immediately called Secretary Yang Bo and delivered his urgent orders. ”Also make sure the place is somewhere secluded and not crowded.” This time Hongqi doesn't want any attention from the public. He's kind of concerned that Xiulan might get stressed from too much public attention.

”Yes, young master.” Secretary Yang Bo affirmed and started his new task.

Xiulan plastered a generous and charming smile to everyone who greeted and congratulated her.

The council organized a small celebration for her and invited prominent people from the government. It's kind of awkward that the current General introduces her to these very important people like he's selling his daughter for an arrange marriage.

”Too bad that she's already married to Xing Hongqi. If she wasn't, I would have immediately married her off to my grandson.” The Secretary of CPC (Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission) said and he can't help but shake his head in disappointment. Such a high quality daughter-in-law he could have to be part of his family.

”Not a chance. You have to go through me first.” Song Yingpei arrogantly rebutted and laughed with the secretary of CPC. But also sharply gave a look at the new General.

”How dare this new general to sell off my daughter? Doesn't he have his own daughter? ” Song Yingpei angrily thought.

Xiulan coldly sweated where these conversations are going. To get out from this devastating predicament, she excused herself to the toilet.

While she was inside one of the toilet cubicles, her phone suddenly rang and the caller was Secretary Yang Bo. At first it kind of lagged to her why he was calling. When she realized that there were a lot of media and reporters awhile ago, she knew her utmost secret is out in the open. She hopes that they didn't snoop too much and didn't reveal sensitive information. She silently pray that the information the media gathered were not that destructive to her work.

Her phone's still ringing frantically. She was hesitant to answer it but she must face whatever hurdles that are thrown in her life. That was her motto.

After a long and multiple rings, Xiulan finally answers Secretary Yang Bo's call. ”Good afternoon, Secretary Yang Bo. May I ask why you are calling?”

”Good afternoon as well, young miss. First, I would like to thank you for an amazing contribution to our country and also congratulations for the new title. It really overwhelmed us earlier that your face were everywhere in the news. We thought something happened but to our surprise it was about an amazing heroism. All of us are really proud of you.” Secretary Yang Bo started.

Xiulan gulped due to the over the top congratulatory. She sensed that something's brewing in Hongqi's side and she's not ready to face it yet.

”Thank you for the kind words, Secretary Yang Bo. I really appreciate it.” Xiulan could only tell.

”To celebrate such an amazing feat, young master wanted to have a dinner with you tonight to congratulate you, young miss.” Secretary Yang Bo announced.

Xiulan's throat suddenly feels dry and itchy. She wanted to cough but it'll be too obvious that she's suffering from anxiety.

”I see. Thank you, that would be wonderful but is Hongqi fine now? I mean he's on a strict diet. He just got discharged from the hospital.” Xiulan questioned. She suddenly remembered that Hongqi might not be allowed to eat food from restaurants until the doctor says so.

”Yes, the young master is fine now. The doctor said he can eat anything as long as certain ingredients are not added in his food.” Secretary Yang Bo explained.

Xiulan knew she can't refuse this dinner so she unwillingly agreed. ”Okay, please send me a message of the name and address of the restaurant and also the time.”

Xiulan doesn't have any clue how she'll answer Hongqi's questions later. She can be fully honest but she must not reveal the whole details. She must think of ways on how to slip away from this predicament.

Everyone might have an idea what she did for the country but not everyone knew the full details. She must control the flow of the information coming out about her.
