Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 444
Because Xia Yu promised Li Wen to let him have dinner in her house yesterday, she asked Aunt Ma to buy more food.
“Miss Xia, you know that Young Master Yan doesn’t like Li Wen. Why did you still invite him to our home?” Aunt Ma usually didn’t comment on anything. She was very sophisticated.
When Li Wen ate at their home last time, Young Master Yan even wanted to kick him out. Young Master Yan was on a business trip and was not at home this time. And Xia Yu brought him home. Was she looking for a quarrel?
As a responsible maid as well as an experienced person, Aunt Ma thought it was necessary to remind Xia Yu.
Xia Yu also knew Shen Yan would be mad. But she had already promised him. Besides, Li Wen sent a message to confirm it early in the morning. It would not be right if she changed her mind at this moment. “It was his birthday yesterday. I didn’t send him any present. Thinking about it, I was embarrassed. He said that he wanted to have dinner at our home. Besides, he is doing business with our company. It is too unreasonable for me to reject him on this.”
Xia Yu thought that it should be no problem since Aunt Ma was at home.
“Then fine.” Aunt Ma thought about it and felt it was true. She was here. If Li Wen dared to lay his finger on Xia Yu again, she would definitely kick his ass.
Xia Yu was extremely busy today. When she got home, Aunt Ma had finished cooking half of the dishes. Xia Yu remembered that she promised Li Wen yesterday that she would cook for him. She needed to keep her promise. She needed to cook at least one dish. So, she made a plate of stir-fried beef.
When Li Wen arrived there, Xia Yu just finished cooking. He brought a bottle of fine wine with him. He opened it and poured one cup for himself and another cup for Xia Yu. Xia Yu was not good at drinking. After drinking a few glasses, she felt a little dizzy. Then she refused to drink more when Li Wen toasted. Li Wen didn’t force her. He drank by himself.
“Li Wen, don’t drink too much. You need to drive later.” Seeing that Li Wen’s face was red, she was afraid of his being drunk and becoming a problem.
“It’s okay. I am good at drinking.” Li Wen smiled at Xia Yu. Then he raised his head and drank up the wine in the glass.
He was happy today. He finally could have dinner alone with Xia Yu. It turned out that he who said he was good at drinking was drunk at last. He stammered and staggered.
“Li Wen, drink some water.” Xia Yu poured a glass of warm water and asked Li Wen to drink it.
“No. No drinking.” Li Wen shook his head. He shook his head so fast that his head was dizzier. Then he wanted to grab the unfinished wine bottle on the table. Xia Yu stopped him immediately. She grabbed the wine bottle first. He only grabbed the air. He wasn’t able to grab the wine bottle, and then he looked at Xia Yu immediately. He launched himself at her.
How could Xia Yu know he would do this? She got caught right by him directly. Her chair got knocked back a little behind her. It scratched the floor, making a harsh noise.
“Give, give me wine!” When he spoke, the strong wine smell overwhelmed Xia Yu, almost making her fainted. She reached out and pushed him away in a hurry. Then she helped him sit down. With the corner of her eye, she saw Aunt Ma looking at them. She felt like she was about to rush at them at any minute.
How could Xia Yu know he was like this when he was drunk? She pushed him away and gave the wine bottle to Aunt Ma who stood aside. She asked her to take it away.
But Li Wen was still yelling for drinking. Xia Yu’s phone rang at this moment. She took her phone out to see. It was from Shen Yan.
“Hello, Shen Yan!”
“Xia Yu, give, give me. I want…” She didn’t know if Li Wen was too drunk to see clearly. He began to grab Xia Yu’s phone. He might think it was a wine bottle. Xia Yu avoided him in a hurry. So, he didn’t get the phone.
“Is it Li Wen who just spoke? What are you guys doing?” A cold voice came through the phone into Xia Yu’s ear. She knew that he was very unhappy at this moment, judging from his voice.
“It’s Li Wen. He is having dinner at our home today. He is drunk and asking me for more wine now.” Xia Yu explained to Shen Yan with a dark face. Otherwise, what Li Wen said just now was enough to make people misunderstand. Although it could make Shen Yan care about her more if she made him get jealous sometimes, she still needed to draw a line. It was not okay to step out of the line.
Xia Yu knew the principle. So, she explained in time.
“At home?” Hearing Xia Yu’s explanation, his tone became soft a little. It was not as cold as before.
“Yes. You know that I have to work today. Aunt Ma can help me if we eat at home.” Xia Yu was telling Shen Yan that Aunt Ma was also here. They weren’t by themselves.
Sure enough, Shen Yan didn’t ask anymore. They chatted a little more and then hung up. Li Wen was really annoying on the side. He kept trying to grab her phone. Xia Yu couldn’t go out to answer the call. She was afraid that he went to find more wine. She needed to keep an eye on him.
Then Xia Yu called his assistant. She asked his assistant to come over and pick up Li Wen. When his assistant came over, Li Wen collapsed on the couch. He was unconscious since he was drunk.
His assistant couldn’t hold him by himself. Xia Yu wanted to help him. Aunt Ma stopped her and helped his assistant get Li Wen into the car instead.
The car left the neighborhood very quickly. Li Wen’s phone rang at this moment. He took it out to see. It was from Shen Yan. He couldn’t help smiling speciously with the corners of his mouth upward.
“Shen Yan, what’s up?” Not in the drunk status as before, Li Wen spoke very clearly.
“F**k ! You piece of sh*t ! You dared to make a move on Xia Yu while I’m not at home.” Shen Yan yelled in a low voice, grinding his teeth.
“Xia Yu cooked in person for me. Tut, tut, tut. It makes me happy, just thinking about it.” The angrier Shen Yan was, the happier Li Wen was.
“A**hole , are you trying to get punched?” Shen Yan wanted to smash his phone. But he really couldn’t do anything to Li Wen at this moment.
Li Wen’s smile was getting happier. “We will have dinner together tomorrow night. Are you coming or not?” The previous commercial had already been shot. Shen Yan knew that it was decided in advance. But he showed it off at this moment, which could still annoy Shen Yan a lot.
The assistant saw his master gloating from the review mirror. He sighed in his heart. Why did his master bother to do this? He couldn’t change anything, except taking some advantages in words.
Xia Yu was still Shen Yan’s girlfriend. He heard from people in Shen Family that they would hold an engagement ceremony after Shen Yan got back from his business trip. Their family might let them get married this year.
His master had no chance!
But Li Wen seemed to ignore all of these directly. He just wanted to make Shen Yan angry. He invited all the people who participated in the advertisement shooting to dinner the next night.
Everyone had a great time. A few people got drunk only halfway through dinner. When it was over, Xia Yu couldn’t walk straight. Xiao Tang held her at the side so that she didn’t make fool of herself.
“Xia Yu, let me send you home.” Li Wen approached her and said with care.
“I’ll send her home.” In the whole Tengfei and even the whole S city, who didn’t know Li Wen’s intention? How could Xiao Tang hand over Xia Yu to him?
But Li Wen insisted strongly. They were in a stalemate.
“Xia Yu!” Hearing that Shen Yan’s voice came over suddenly, Xia Yu turned around to look sideways. She saw Shen Yan getting out of an SUV. The black coat made his face become a little pale. A gust of wind blew over, which made his hair a little messy. In this way, he looked a little withered.
“When did you come back?” Xia Yu asked with great surprise. She walked fast towards him. And she said again, “Didn’t you say that you would come back tomorrow? Why didn’t you call me when you came back in advance?”
“My business has been done over there. Besides, my grandma asked me to come back as soon as possible to discuss our engagement.” He looked at Xia Yu deeply with his dark black eyes, and he was smiling with the corners of his mouth upward. He reached out and held her hand tightly. He got her hand completely wrapped in his hand.
It was not that they would get engaged tomorrow. It was just a negotiation. Was it necessary to be so hurried? Xia Yu sneaked a peek at Li Wen who stood aside. She saw that he was squinting slightly with a calm face. She couldn’t tell from his face if he was happy or not.
But Xia Yu was not silly. She had been with Li Wen these days. It must have something to do with him that Shen Yan came back in such a hurry. It was good that they both could pretend. They didn’t fight with each other when they met. Xia Yu was happy not to look at that scene.
She smiled at Li Wen and said, “Shen Yan came to pick me up. I can go back with him. It’s very late. Go back and get some rest. Goodbye!”
“Um! Okay! Goodbye!” Li Wen waved at Xia Yu. Then he smiled to Shen Yan and got into his car.
“Xiao Tang, let’s go together. We will send you home first.” Xia Yu looked at Xiao Tang and said.
“No need. I’ll take a taxi home.” Xiao Tang wasn’t stupid. She wouldn’t be the third wheel. Otherwise, Young Master Yan might kill her. A taxi happened to pass by at this moment. Xiao Tang got into the taxi.
“Let’s go back, too.” They all had gone. Shen Yan said to Xia Yu.
“Okay!” Xia Yu nodded. His palm was very warm. He held her hand and walked to the SUV. He didn’t let go of her hand even when they were in the car. Looking at their holding hands, the idea of never letting go for her whole life emerged in the mind again.
Shen Yan didn’t say anything. He didn’t mention Li Wen at all until they got back home.
“Shen Yan, that…” Xia Yu knew that he was angry. She wanted to explain to him.
“Call me your husband!” Shen Yan kept his countenance and corrected her.
“Husband, there is really nothing between him and me…” Xia Yu was sweating on her forehead. She had a serious sense of crisis in her mind. Although Shen Yan didn’t look angry at this moment, Xia Yu knew in her mind that he was very angry.
“Then what can be considered as there is something? Um?” Shen Yan still smiled. But his tone did not rise or fall at all. “Have you celebrated your husband’s birthday? How many times have you dated your husband? You did more for Li Wen than you did for your husband. Do you think it’s okay?”
Shen Yan said so much within one breath. Xia Yu was surprised and stunned. “Husband, we didn’t seem to be in a relationship when you had your birthday. How could I celebrate it for you?”
There were a lot of women around him at that time. Did she want to get punched by going close to him? Besides, was he willing?
“In this case, you and Li Wen are in a relationship?” Shen Yan really got pissed off by Xia Yu. How could she speak in this way? She and her pursuer went here and there like a couple. He didn’t say anything. He would let it go if she admitted her mistake and apologized to him.
But she didn’t make it easy. She said that she was not in a relationship with him at that time. Even though they were not in a relationship, he was still her boss, wasn’t he? Shouldn’t she give her boss a present or something?
Judging from her tone, Shen Yan felt that their relationship was not as good as that between Xia Yu and Li Wen.
“Shen Yan, what are you talking about?” Xia Yu stared at him with much surprise. She had told him many times that she was not alone with him. He was jealous for no reason. But he must be very tired since he just came back from another place. Xia Yu didn’t want to argue with him. “Sleep. We still need to go to work tomorrow.”
She did this when she couldn’t win the argument. Shen Yan stared at Xia Yu for a while and then lay down. Fine, he would sleep.
Xia Yu didn’t fall asleep. She thought about what Shen Yan said and felt it was not all wrong actually. They really didn’t have so many actual dates. No wonder he was angry and jealous.
Thinking about this, Xia Yu was softhearted. She approached voluntarily and gave a sweet kiss to him. “Husband, don’t be mad. I will be with you tomorrow, okay?”
This would be fine. Shen Yan was almost not angry. He reached out and held her in his arms. “You said that. Don’t go back on your word. Where do we go on our date tomorrow?”
“It’s very late. Let’s think about it tomorrow!”
