Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep - Chapter 224

Xie Eun glared at the man who seemed to have been prepared for the accident and apologized meekly,” I am so sorry..” though her eyes seemed to be saying that she was not sorry at all.

Not taking note of the undercurrent, Aunt Su smiled at Lee Jong and asked,” Please excuse my Eun-a! She is a little clumsy. Always has been…You are Lee Jong? Yes? The actor? Are you here for work or for holiday? Please do join us in having breakfast.”

Lee Jong turned to Aunt Su and gave her his biggest smile full of dimples and sparkling teeth. “Hello! Are you Chairwoman Xie’s elder sister?”

Aunt Su smiled and giggled like a girl totally flirting with the young actor while Xie Eun rolled her eyes at the man who could lie so easily. After refusing a bit, Lee Jong joined them gracefully and sat next to Aunt Su.

Ignoring the man, Xie Eun immersed herself in eating her own food while Lee Jong also talked with Aunt Su. He showered her with compliments but remained completely professional towards Xie Eun. He even dared to compliment her Aika which earned Lee Jong a glare from Xie Eun. Luckily for Xie Eun, Aika was on her daddy’s side and when the man tried to pick her up, to show off that he was good with kids, Aika protested on the top of her lungs and helped her mommy by hitting the strange man on the face with her milk bottle.

Lee Jong rubbed his nose in embarrassment and decided to look down and concentrate on his food. He extended his hand to pick up a hash brown when Xie Eun poked him harshly and glared,” Get your own food!”

Excusing himself, he smiled a bit awkwardly and went to get his own food. Aunt Su glared at the to girls and poked Xie Eun reprimanding her,” What is going on? Is the man not your business partner? Why do you have to be so rude?”

Pouting, Xie Eun retorted, “Well he is a business partner so I will be sharing the profits with him. Does that mean I have to share the food also? I absolutely refuse to do so! My food is only mine!”

Aunt Su rolled her eyes at the girl who was still the same and shook her head. Getting Xie Eun to part with her food had always been a task.

Just then Lee Jong returned with a plate full of fruits and meat, continuing to chatter with Aunt Su and ignoring the two others who had made him embarrassed. But just because Lee Jong had backed off did not mean that someone had forgiven him. After finishing her milk, Aika raised a fuss to be held and burped and before her mother could move, Aunt Su had taken the little girl to pat her back. Aika stared at the man as she rested her head on the comfortable shoulder and closed her eyes peacefully before making a loud sound and emptying the contents of her stomach on the unsuspecting Lee Jong.

Lee Jong jumped from his chair as he felt the wetness seep through his t shirt and a sour smell assault his nose. Getting up, Aunt Su apologized profusely and handed napkins to him while Lee Jong grimaced and suppressed the profanity that was about to escape his mouth. Once again he excused himself and ran out of the dining room as if he had the hounds of hell following him.

Once the man was gone, Xie Eun broke out into giggles and taking her daughter who had managed to keep herself clean while soiling the enemy and kissed the girl on her nose. Aunt Su also shook her head with a smile before remarking,” It seems your daughter is even more clumsy than you. If she is going to have men run away from her then by the time she grows up, she will be just like you.”

“Aunt Su? I got the best man, didn’t I? If the man is good then no matter how many repellents you use, he is going to be like that insistent mosquito and still come closer!”

Aunt Su simple face palmed herself at having failed to teach the child even proper metaphors! She had just compared her own husband to a mosquito!

After that the rest of the breakfast passed peacefully. Xie Eun tried to get Aunt Su to go out with them but was declined by the latter as Aunt Su claimed to be tired.

And thus, a little while later, Xie Eun and Aika were ready to leave the hotel to explore the city. Dressed in matching polka dotted dresses, Xie Eun clipped her daughter into the kangaroo pocket and styled a backpack to carry their supplies, ready to leave. But she was stopped at the reception when a woman in the hotel uniform stopped her, “Mrs Yu? Your husband has ordered this for you. We were about to deliver it. It was said that we give it to you urgently.” Taking the box, Xie eun raised her eyebrow and opened the box. A wide smile graced her face as she pulled out the camera out of the bag and reverently said, “Wow! This is the Eos rebel T8 camera! Aika, your daddy is indeed the best.”

In her excitement to come here, Xie Eun had forgotten her camera which had anyway taken a backseat to Aika but her husband never forgot her and he had somehow known that she would want to take pictures of their first holiday! Sigh! And he had even chosen the lightest DSLR camera for her! Thanking the staff, Xie Eun turned around and placed the camera back into her bag before getting into the rented cab that awaited her at the door. But in her excitement, she once again failed to notice that another rented car had been waiting behind hers and soon Lee Jong had climbed into it, ordering the driver to follow her.
