104 Chapter 104 : I’ve never been interested in love songs (1/2)

The thick documents piled up on Xiulan's desk. The coffee cups that are empty were shoved to the side and caused an unflattering smell inside the office. Though it wasn't smelly, only a few people liked this type of scent, the combination of coffee, air freshener and paper wafted through the air.

”Dandan, send me the files from the Rainbow Books publishing company. I need them before the day ends.” Xiulan pinged Secretary Dandan's intercom for the nth time today.

Xiulan was in a rush to complete all the minor tasks like reviewing and signing documents and bank cheques this week. Then next week she will try to finish developing softwares that needed her help.

Her whole day was full of paperwork that she wasn't able to eat her lunch meal. All she did was drink and drink coffee. She can't believe that paperwork was more crucial than typing codes for the whole day.

She had to review and read a lot of heavy worded documents. She even had to correct some proposals and added notes for revision.

Now that her company's affiliations and clients are getting bigger, her workloads are piling up like Mount Everest.

”Fuck, I feel like I'm going to pass out anytime.” Xiulan weakly mumbles while she leans her back on her chair and massages her temples.

The document in front of her might be the 30th document she signed and reviewed for today. Her head is getting dizzy and adds that she's super hungry. Too much coffee didn't help her either. The acid reflux was getting into her and making her dizzier.

She looked at the time on her laptop and it was quarter to five already. It's almost time for dismissal for her employees.

She quickly checks the CCTV footage on her laptop to see if her employees are getting ready to leave. Apparently, there are a lot of employees who will have overtime and that includes Secretary Dandan.

Xiulan sighed. This day, her brain used 70% of its capabilities. She still can't move on that doing paperwork can be such a pain in the ass.

She stands up to stretch her tired muscles and also to get some water. She had been drinking too much coffee and anytime she might get an ulcer from it.

While she refills her cup with water from the dispenser in the pantry outside her room, she suddenly heard loud gasps and giggles in the entrance.

She frowned at the noise she was hearing. She quickly peeked at what was happening when she saw her husband's tall figure. He's not with Secretary Yang Bo today and it seems that he went here on his own accord.

Xiulan quickly took a few sips on her cup before refilling it again. Now that she's feeling refreshed and not dehydrated anymore, she dashed outside to greet her husband.

Hongqi was surrounded by her female employees and they were all trying to get a good look at him. Though Xiulan was fine with it, instead it was Secretary Dandan that was alarmed and had to glare at her peers to shoo them away since it was wrong for them to gawk at their boss' husband like that.

”Honqgi, what's with the sudden visit?” Xiulan appeared with a cup in her hands while she greets back the employees who were bidding their goodbyes to her.

”Love, I wanted to see you.” There was urgency in his tone and Hongqi's smile seems to be extra charismatic today. He made long strides towards his wife. He looks like he just can't wait to see her. He put his hands on her shoulders and led her back inside her room.

The employees were starstruck seeing Xing Hongqi again. They've seen him many times whenever he visits their boss but every time they see him, he's just getting more handsome every day.

Once they were inside her room, Xiulan quickly probed him. ”What's wrong? Is something bothering you?”

Hongqi didn't answer her inquires but instead, he took the cup in her hands and placed it at the nearest table he could find.

Xiulan frowned at his actions. ”His movements seem to be in urgency.” she silently deduced.

Hongqi held onto her waist and prompted her to sit next to him on the sofa. Xiulan was a bit confused but nevertheless, she sat next to him.

”What's wrong?” She asked him again. She really doesn't have any idea why he visited her and what could be his agenda. If they will talk about something, she has zero clues.

”I just want to see you.” Hongqi softly said to her while he tucks her hair behind her ear. He lovingly smiles at her and gave her a big bear-hug.

Xiulan was taken aback by his sudden sweet embrace. She was confused for a moment but eventually, she hugged him back. She really doesn't have any clue what's going on but in case her husband was feeling blue and down if this hug will make him better then she will give it to him.

Hongqi caresses her lower back tenderly and whispers to her ”Let's have a date.”
