91 Chapter 91 : Let’s Talk (2/2)

Her glaring came out like a glaring bunny. It was so cute that Hongqi was about to pinch her cheeks but promptly halted. He realized someting's wrong with what his wife said.

He raised his eyebrows in confusion. He didn't get the gist of what his wife was pertaining to. He actually thought she was talking about Gong Yuming since she mentioned the word rival.

His heart fluttered for a second because he thought she was jealous. But that was only for a moment since he felt a sudden nervous pang in his chest. He can't explain what it was but his mind tells him to quickly explain to his wife. ”Gong Yuming is just an actress in my company. She may had been a woman from my past but she's not important now. Why would I cheat on you?”

Xiulan didn't expect him to say that. He actually misunderstood. But for some unknown reason, her heart slightly felt heavy hearing that. Will he say the same thing when they not together anymore too?

She was about to clarify and remove the misunderstanding but her stomach suddenly grumbled very loudly.

Hongqi chuckled hearing her hungry tummy. He caressed her face using thumb again. ”Stand up, let's eat. We can talk about this later.” Hongqi pulled her and tried to put his large palms on her waist but Xiulan swiftly swatted them again and snubbed him.

In the dining room, Xiulan was a little bit fidgety and she kept glancing at Hongqi. She was actually trying to bring up the issue regarding the Mao couple and Gong Yuming. She badly wanted to clear the misunderstanding.

But since her anger already subsided and she doesn't have enough courage to start questioning him. She was slightly hesitant and doesn't know to bring this up. She was already in a good mood too because of food and she doesn't have those negative energy anymore.

It feels awkward to suddenly question and explain it to him. After all, he misunderstood that she was jealous of Gong Yuming.

Hongqi noticed Xiulan's wary expression. He remembered her cute tantrums earlier. He grinned remembering that. To save her from asking him an embarrassing topic, he initiated to ask her first. ”You look restless. Are you going to say something?”

Xiulan pursed her lips and was hesitant. But being shy or awkward at this moment won't help. She put aside her spoon and fork and stared back at Hongqi before answering. ”I have seen the news regarding Gong Yuming's contract signing with the Mao group.”

Hongqi's attention was piqued. He was right. It was about Gong Yuming. He secretly grinned and conceitedly remarked to himself. ”Ah finally, here comes the jealous wife. This is a first that she mentioned that name.”

”Yes? As you know I'm always present in contract signing with big clients. I was only there as a CEO.” Hongqi reasoned out and quickly monitored Xiulan's reaction. This was the part he had been waiting for in this marriage life, seeing the wife becomes jealous!

”I know. I understand that. It's just that…” Xiulan was skeptic if she should say this to Hongqi. She worriedly pursed her lips again and this came off as a depressed look for Hongqi.

Hongqi noticed that weary expression on her face and he guessed again that she might be really jealous! ”No worries, my love. You shouldn't be jealous of Gong Yuming since the relationship is just between a boss and an employee. Like I said earlier, she's not important anymore.”

Xiulan furrowed her eyebrows from what he just said. Obviously, he got it all wrong.

”Ah! No. It's not about Miss Gong. It's regarding the Mao couple… my company-- I mean I, myself is actually in a silent but serious conflict with them.” Xiulan must clear this odd misunderstanding soon.

Hongqi was drinking from his wine glass while he listens to Xiulan. He almost choke hearing that from her. He raised his eyebrows and quickly gulped the remaining wine inside his mouth.

”Serious conflict? Isn't just a simple business rivalry?” he questioned and there was an obvious confusion plastered on his face. He did not expect that his wife would be in a serious conflict with a another big company especially like the Mao group.
