45 Chapter 45: Tip of the Knife (2/2)

”When it comes to missions, there's really no schedule. Sometimes in a year they don't give any. Sometimes in a year I'll work on ten missions as long as I have extra time. This year, they said the terrorist mission was the last mission for this year since… since I have a… a traditional Chinese wedding to attend to and a ho—honeymoon...” Xiulan almost murmured her last sentence. She kind of regretted that she relieves the topic about the honeymoon. Do they really need one?

Hongqi's attention suddenly change to the wedding and honeymoon. He almost forgot about it. Good thing she mentioned it. Since all the doubts and suspicion in his heart are cleared, he can now focus on the next issue.

He fully trusts Xiulan. He thinks she will not harm him since her family's reputation will be at stake if she does something suspicious and troublesome.

Actually, her having this secret side really surprised him. He was confused and angry at first but he was proud of her. More reasons to respect her. He thought she was just a meek and timid woman but actually full of incredible secrets. At least he knew he married a gem.

He felt bad that he had a bad judgement over her credibility before.

”Now that you mentioned those two. We can plan it together with our families. The award shows are finished and most of my artists are busy in dramas and movies so I really don't need to monitor their music career for awhile.” Hongqi suggested and gestured to the waiter to bring the food. He forgot that they haven't eaten anything yet.

”Ah… alright.” Xiulan meekly responded. ”I'll try to make time. But… can we move it next year instead?” Xiulan tried to delay it. How many times she will say this that she has a lot of pending work in her company?

”Next year is fine but it's not good for your reputation. Have you heard of what they say about Mrs. Xing? She's not being treasured by the Xing family due to the long delay of this traditional wedding. I don't want to hear that nonsense gossip anymore since it's not true. You are fully being treasured and I care about you a lot.” Hongqi irritably explained. Oh how he hates that particular gossip. He's fully aware of that damn gossip.

”Cursed daughter? End up in a divorce or a widow? I will break that curse.” Hongqi secretly muttered. He was determined that all of the people who spread such wretched gossip will eat the words they said for dinner.

Again, Xiulan felt troubled. Looks like another long delay on her pile of work will happen again. She didn't even hear the sweet concern in Hongqi's tone due to her heavy thinking. Right now, all she could think of are her pending piles of documents and projects to finish. She wanted to curse everyone.

”Alright, I understand.” She gloomily answered.

She can't refute anymore. If this traditional wedding will get delayed again then it'll be very troublesome. Her parents will create a huge fuss over it. She's 100% sure about that. She also wants the damn socialites to shut up too.

Hongqi slightly hooked a smile when he saw her gloomy expression. ”What so bad about getting married again? She'll be marrying me twice. That's far enough to be the next best thing in the world. Especially this is a traditional wedding. Most of the women coveted this.” Hongqi proudly bragged to himself.

”Drats! Looks like my ride to divorce will be bumpy and long. This will be very hard. What a headache!” She silently grumbled and frowned.

Those two seem to have a wide difference of opinion when it comes to their second wedding.

A group of waiters suddenly came in with their scrumptious meal that Hongqi ordered. It was a delicious dish of her favorites. Xiulan was utterly surprised to see her favorite dishes in front of her.

”How did you know?” She can't help but utter this question. Did her mother sell her off to the devil? She's not aware that her mother is now in Hongqi's side. Only her mother knew about her favorites.

Hongqi glances at Xiulan's surprised expression and question. ”It's not that hard to know.” He nonchalantly responded.

”Huh? So how this happened?” Xiulan pointed at the food in front of them.

”I asked your mother.” He calmly replied but gave a slight frown. He kind of wondered why she asked that way. Was it really surprising to know her favorite dishes?

He started picking food for himself and also picked some meat for her and put it on her plate. ”Try this; it's one of their best sellers.” Hongqi charmingly whispered while he seriously picks the best meat parts for her.

”Mom! How could you?! I must interrogate mother when I have a chance. How could she sell off information about me?” Xiulan bitterly grumbled to herself.

Xiulan gave a suspicious glance at Hongqi. Awhile ago he was scary to the point that she got cold sweats and creeping anxiety. Now he looks so calm and eerily content. He even picked some food for her and put it on her plate.

”He is sure quick to convince… very suspicious. He was firing a lot of questions earlier and now he's contently eating his food quite deliciously. Damn weirdo.” Xiulan secretly muttered and accused him for being a weirdo. It's just a small revenge on him for causing too much anxiety for the past four hours. She thought she won't be able to come up with a good lie. Thank heavens this is over.
