61 Chapter 61 : Slandering Who? (2/2)

”Is your madame still inside?” Hongqi inquired with a charming smile plastered on his face.

”Yes, young master Xing. Our madame is currently doing her best so she stays too late. I hope you take care of our incredible madame.” the floor guard praised Xiulan like he's praising his own daughter. He's also a little curious why the husband is here. This is the first time he went here in such a late hour. No other people could see his pretense yet he still came here.

”Of course. Thank you for wishing her well.” Hongqi plastered that smile again and went inside while the guard escorts him.

Xiulan was scrolling down on a food blog when she heard her office's door opened. She glanced at the person who went inside and she's surprised to see Hongqi.

”Wh-what are you doing here?” She confusedly asked and went towards him to greet him.

Hongqi lovingly kissed her lips quickly as a greeting and the guard outside cleared his throat and quickly retreated to give some privacy to the couple. He didn't expect those two to be this super close.

Some employees in Xiulan's company speculated that those two were only acting since there's no man who would be this open in gifting women expensive gifts. Usually, men who do this are only making statement and has ill intentions.

But seeing their madame flustered and let him do his way, he thought that maybe the rumor isn't true. He'll make sure to scold those kids who keep mentioning that rumor.

”You should sit first. I'm just gonna pack my stuff.” Xiulan pointed at the sofa and quickly went to her table to get her things.

”It's late and you're still working and you also have to wake up so early in the morning. This is not good for your health. Aren't women more prone to anemia?” Hongqi nagged while he majestically sat on the sofa. His brows scrunched from seeing his wife's pale face. Obviously, she's not in a good condition.

”It's okay. I'm used to it. The company is currently full of workloads so I must help and give a hand.” She said while she quickly push all the necessary items in her bag. She also didn't forget to bookmark the food blog she was browsing a while ago.

”Just because you're used to it doesn't mean it's okay. Are you having problems in your company? I'm here to help you.” Hongqi sincerely offered and concentrated on his wife's movements.

”Thank you for the kind offer, dear husband. But it's okay, no need. Just a little mishap and this will die down soon.” her pale lips smiled and made sure that this husband won't worry too much.

”I can really lend you my top actress for free. Just let me know when you need her.” Hongqi stands up from his seat and went beside Xiulan.

Xiulan was ready to go when Hongqi snatched her bag from her. ”I'll carry it. You look really pale.” He wrapped his arms on her shoulders and pulled her to go home.

They both bid good bye to the floor guard and went home.

Hongqi's personal chef and Bai Rong was already in their suite waiting for them. Bai Rong was really happy that Xiulan was not present for a few days and she could fawn on Hongqi easily.

But to her dismay, the wretched wife is finally here and the couple's entrance to the suite was rather intimate. Hongqi's right hand on his wife while the other is carrying that turquoise Birkin bag which causes an arm and leg just to purchase it. This made Bai Rong's happy mood a while ago turn awfully bitter.

”Good evening, young master Xing and madame. The food is already cooked. Let me know if you need additional dishes.” The chef said and happily greeted them. The couple greeted them as well.

”Thank you. No more additional dishes. You and Bai Rong can go home. It's pretty late.” Hongqi said and he dragged Xiulan to their room without glancing at them anymore.

This made Bai Rong inwardly fume again. She really can't fathom why the great Xing Hongqi is so smitten by that woman. Even coming inside their suite, he didn't let go of her. She went home feeling bitter since Hongqi's presence was so quick that she wasn't able to look at him for even a few minutes.

Xiulan laid on the bed and sighed heavily. She feels dizzy from overworking and her stomach is empty. She must eat soon or else she might faint anytime.

Hongqi placed her bag on top of her vanity chair. He glanced at his wife and quickly went beside her.

”Are you not feeling well? Do you want me to call a doctor?” He asked and he puts his large palms on her forehead and neck to check her temperature. It looks like she doesn't have a fever but she looks really pale.

”No need for the doctor. Just let me rest for 10 minutes and let's eat.” She alluringly smiled at him even though her lips were pale and dry.

”Hmm... okay. I'll just take a shower then we'll eat after.” He said and went inside his own walk-in closet to get some home clothes. Before going inside the bathroom, he worriedly looked at his wife for three minutes to check if she's really okay before he decided to enter the bathroom.
