The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 229

October paused in her steps as she noticed the unusual air surrounding the office that was accompanied by the constant ringing of a phone. Her eyes instantly landed on the woman sitting behind her the table with her head lowered, preventing October from seeing the deep scowl on Yun Xixi’s face.

But one thing was sure, and that was Yun Xixi was seething with anger.

‘How unexpected.’ October thought to herself about the peculiar scene before her. If anything, in the years that she had known Yun Xixi, she had always been a very outgoing person who had an unblemished smile devoid of impurities and a laughter that was of bells.

And so, seeing Yun Xixi like this was a first for October. But she did not want to know more for that was Yun Xixi’s business. With a calm demeanor, she walked toward her secretary. But maybe because you Yun Xixi what so absorbed in her own musings, she did not notice October looming over her.

Sighing, October had no choice but stop her finger on the table for a couple of times.

“Xixi, are you okay?” She asked. Even though there were not much fluctuation in her tone, it was still enough to know that she was quite worried.

“Ah? Ah!” Yun Xixi was given a start at the sudden voice next to her. Her eyes widened in surprise and mouth agape. “D-director.”

She immediately cancelled the call clumsily and forced a smile on her face.

“Good morning, Director.” She awkwardly laughed. ‘When did boss arrived?’

October narrowed her eyes at Yun Xixi but whenever their eyes met, Yun Xixi would not waste more than a second to divert her eyes on another direction. This made October’s suspicion grow.

“Is everything alright?”

Yun Xixi looked at the slight frown of worry written on her boss’ face. She felt her heart flutter at the sight of it and her lips cracked a smile and her eyes glowed of infatuation. Her worried and boiling hatred was immediately tossed at the very back of her mind as she immersed herself in the mesmerizing beauty before her.

“Director, are you worried about me? Aya~! I’m so honored.”

“…” October looked at Yun Xixi turn to a one-eighty degree, from an angry and snarling beast to a harmless wide-eyed rabbit.

“No. Nevermind.” October turned her heels and headed to her office without another word. She was worried and wanted to ask more but she also can’t push Yun Xixi into telling her everything. That would be just too selfish of her.

October had then realized that she knew little of Yun Xixi’s past. But, she will wait till the time when Yun Xixi will tell her all about it.

Yun Xixi laughed. Yet as soon as October was out of sight, Yun Xixi’s smile faded and the l.u.s.trous light in her eyes dimmed.

“What do you want?” She asked after much contemplation. Her tone was low and was dripped with anger and venom.

“Xixi, why are you being like this? You were not like this before? You were more obedient and sweeter, but now, you are being cold to me.” The man asked as his handsome face furrowed deeply. He sounded hurt and betrayed but his eyes were filled with coldness.

Yun Xixi just sneered at this. To her, this was the biggest joke that she had heard in her life. No, maybe they had all treated her that she the joke of them.

“Really now, Wang Lei? I’m sorry for being too innocent and naive before that you could just play around. I really did not know that you were cold. Have you frozen up yet?”

The sarcastic remark from Yun Xixi made the man’s calm facade crack and show a glimpse of his true colors. He took a deep breath, calming himself, and tried to reason out to his estranged girlfriend.

“Xi’er, don’t be like this. Are you still mad about what happened? I know I’m in the wrong. I’m sorry. Forgive me, please?”

Yun Xixi felt like vomiting. His voice pleading to her was good but it did not penetrated her frozen heart. Did he really think that just his few words of pleading and apologizing was enough to mend her broken heart and shattered pride? If so, then she would be really stupid that her boss would be so ashamed of her.

And why now? Did it take him more than two years to realize his mistake? Wasn’t that just outright dumb? Or was he just too arrogant and full of himself to think that she still loves him?

Thinking this made goosebumps run up her spine.

“Oh my, Wang Lei. Did my sister dump you for someone else? Tch, tch, tch. That’s awful.” She cooed, sounding sad as she pitied him. However, an evident smile so cold that it could freeze people up when seen bloomed on her youthful face. A storm was slowly building up inside of her. It was so wild and strong that it seemed to erupt at any moment now.

Hearing this, Wang Lei felt his nerve pulsated. He wanted to apologize to his girlfriend and get her back but it seemed like his patience was continuously pulled by Yun Xixi’s words full of thorns. It was especially so when Yun Xixi taunted him about getting dumped by Yun Xixi’s sister. She may sound gentle but he knew that she was making fun of him.

Again, he furrowed his brows until deep creases was formed in between his brows. He was a cold person with little patience. He had already stretched his patience taut for Yun Xixi but the woman just had to poke him again and again. He was already gripping the armrest till his knuckles turned white and his jaw was tight as it could be.

“Hello? Still alive?” Yun Xixi cooed again, her heart was laughing merrily as she knew that she struck him bad. It was really a nice feeling.

Wang Lei gritted his teeth as he held down his temper and bit back the words that would escape his mouth. ‘No, this is not the time for me to make her angry even more. I have to get her back. I need her to get that person back.’

“Xi’er, I know you’re still angry but please give me a chance.” Wang Lei pleaded yet again. He really wanted to get her forgiveness and bring her back into City A. If he must, he would go to her just to show his sincerity.

‘Xi’er? Are you f*cking serious right now?’ Yun Xixi gnashed her teeth. She really has to give it to this guy. If she knew that her boss’ husband was shameless, then this Wang Lei could compete to him of who was the most shameless person in this world.

“Oh no. I’m so sorry. I am quite busy right now. Bye.” She ended the call unceremoniously as she felt that she would explode in rage if she would talk to him a second longer. She then decided to turn off her phone and tossed it inside her bag.
