49 Chapter 49 : Hes so honest, it stresses Xiulan so much (1/2)

Xiulan woke up feeling depressed. She remembers again that after the second wedding, they will have a one week honeymoon. Out of all the places they could go for a honeymoon, they have to go to Maldives. So far from China. The place is very beautiful but she's not in the mood to be in a place like that with the wretched Hongqi.

It's also a tropical island so she'll be wearing less clothing there.

Just thinking about the skinship they have to share with each other gave Xiulan scold sweats.

---

”Before you go to your office, let's meet up with our wedding planner. I need to instruct her with further details and also if you want to add more just tell her later.” Hongqi suggested while they were having breakfast together. It's already a week passed and six more days before their wedding.

”Okay. Will it take long?”

Xiulan asked and stopped eating to converse with Hongqi. She has a meeting with the HR manager and Project Managers later regarding thetraining of new employees so she must be in the office before lunch time.

Xiulan's company has gained lot of projects to work on for the past months and they must hire more employees to accomodate faster project completion and good client satisfaction reviews and ratings.

”Not much. As I said I just need to tell her something about some adjustments. I think you might need to tell her your concerns as well. Your parents seems to have left us the planning. While my dad was never fond of designing and planning events so the both of us must always communicate to the wedding planner.”

Hongqi explained. He cut a piece of the ham and dip it on a special sauce before putting it inside his mouth.

”Okay. Got it.” Xiulan agreed and they went back to eating quietly.

Hongqi already finished his meal and only reads the newspaper while he waits for Xiulan to finish. He was reading the showbiz section in case he sees malicious articles about his artists.

As Xiulan was wiping the extra sauce on her plate with garlic bread, she suddenly remembers her problem regarding her dowry. She feels like her dowry is too cheap for the likes of Hongqi.

Xiulan clears her throat first before voicing her concerns. ”By the way, I just remembered.”

”Hm?”

Hongqi responded but his eyes concentrated on the newspaper.

”I have concerns about the dowry. You are filthy rich already so I'm not sure if you will like the dowry I will give to you.”

Xiulan informed and drank her orange juice.

”Hmm?”

Hongqi finally puts down the newspaper and put his attention on his wife. He didn't understand why his wife has this kind of problem in the first place. Gifts were never an issue to him.

”It's a small land in the north. It's actually a vineyard.”

Xiulan disclosed. That small land and vineyard was suppose to be her secret place to stay in the future.She uses her own resources this time. She didn't want to bother her parents about this. They can give a separate dowry but she would like to personally contribute something in this second wedding.

There's no special reason for this. She only wanted to secretly thank Hongqi for the great leap he made for their family business or more like her father's company. Their family business has entered in the top ten earners this year.

With a huge investment and the number of zeros for the total accumulated income, their family can live for five generations without any mishaps or problems.

”I'm fine with any.”

Hongqi nonchalantly replied. He briefly looks at Xiulan's plate and his mouth's corner were slightly raised.

”The more she eats, likely the more she'll have more stamina.” he secretly and naughtily thought. His inner desires for her are now more lascivious due to the upcoming honeymoon.

”Are you sure?”

Xiulan asked for clarification. She also didn't get what that smirk was for. Xiulan thought he might be thinking about something perverted again.

”Will you give me what I want then?”

Hongqi dared and his eyes glinted with desire. Obviously in his tone, he was already insinuating something indecent.

Xiulan's expression became sullen and she sweated. She felt like it was a wrong idea to ask that. She can already see that lewd glint in his eyes. ”... what do you want?”

His naughty smile became more obvious and his pearly white teeth were displayed. Xiulan only notice now that he has a small dimple if he smiles like that.

”You in our honeymoon.”

Hongqi didn't dare to dilly dally anymore. He was so honest that Xiulan almost lose the grip on the glass she was holding. Her hands shook and she immediately shot him a ghastly expression.

Xiulan hit him on his arms and cutely glared at him. ”Stop kidding.”

”I'm not kidding.”

Hongqi laughed seeing her reaction. ”I am 100% serious. You do know I've been a loyal husband and I didn't dare to hook up with anyone for the past months. As you know of my old lifestyle, I am very daring. Abstaining was not in my dictionary but I did it for you.” Hongqi pointed out. He was making Xiulan feel the guilt.

Xiulan glared at him. ”I don't want to talk to you anymore. My dowry is final.”

”But I think my suggestion is better.” Hongqi winked at Xiulan.

”In your dreams, mister. I didn't pressure you to abstain. Didn't I said before that you can bed someone else but not me.” Xiulan scoffed. She wouldn't let him. A demon might have to possess her before she'll do anything sexual with him. Gosh, she can't imagine.

”Oh I can't do that, I am married. Why would I look for someone else when I have a beautiful and caring wife? Love, I am an honorable man and I respect my wife so much to even cheat.” Hongqi's in a good mood and this conversation was a good start for his new seduction plans. He begins his sweet casanova mode.

”Hongqi..your fake ass is leaking.” Xiulan didn't want to believe that he was truthful to his words. She still has trust issues. He was still dating Gong Yuming before when he started giving courting her. He can do that to anyone he feels like an asset for him.
