The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 230

Yun Xixi took a deep breath, calming her nerves. She erased the words she had just heard, his voice that makes her hurl, and even his whole being. She forcefully and ruthlessly tossed those memories at the back of her mind.

She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened it, her troubled and stormy eyes were now bright and cheerful. She felt refreshed. She patted her cheeks and stretched her lips into a smile.

‘Smile, smile. Frown and you will get wrinkles and look old early. That won’t do.’

“Stay pretty to seduce Assistant Yu. Yes!” She chanted with great enthusiasm in her voice with her hands pumped up.

“Pfft…*cough*”

Yun Xixi snapped her head to the direction of the sound, with her hands still in the air, and froze. It did not take more than a second before her face turned as red as tomato.

‘Just kill me now.’ Yun Xixi could not help but scream curses in her mind as her eyes widened in shock and terror and embarrassment mixed together while looking at the person before her.

On the opened door of the office of the assistant director was a good-looking with a warm and gentle air oozing with manly and m.a.t.u.r.e charm. He was a bachelor who was quite popular with women but due to his work, he was still single.

“A-assitant Yu.” Her voice trembled and soft as a whisper. Still, it was enough to be heard by the man she was looking at.

Assistant Yu looked at Yun Xixi with eyes filled with laughter and amus.e.m.e.nt. He just came in and saw Yun Xixi saying something with such determination on her cute face and even raised her hand up.

This little lady really made his heart ticklish. He did not really know when his eyes had started to follow her shadow. It was just too attractive. There was never a time where he got bored looking at her. And now, her whole face had just turned red and the confidence and determination she had just showed awhile ago had vanished into thin air. She looked at him with such complicated emotions that he was not able to grasp instantly, unfortunately for him.

“Miss Yun, good morning.” He greeted with a warm smile on his face as he invited himself into the office with a packed box on hand. He noticed that Yun Xixi can’t look at him in the eyes which pricked his heart with a needle. It was really uncomfortable but chose to shrugged it off.

“G-good morning…” Yun Xixi felt like her heart was about to burst in her c.h.e.s.t and she felt dizzy. She could not think straight. She kept on avoiding looking at him in the eyes. It was not that she did not want to, she just can’t…do it.

Assistant Yu was already in front of Yun Xixi’s table and had a wry smile on. He had already approached her automatically and yet she still won’t look at him. Why?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as an idea popped in his head.

“Ah, Miss Yun, there…” He pointed at her face, sounding hesitant, before pointing on the corner of his lip. “This…”

Sensing that something was wrong, Yun Xixi worriedly looked up on Assistant Yu only to see him look at her with as if he was resisting to say something. Her brows furrowed.

‘Why is he pointing at his lips then pointing onto me?’

“W-what?” Her eyes became round with skepticism while tilting her head to the side. Naturally, her pixie-length hair followed her movement.

Assistant Yu, in the face of such innocent-looking small animal untainted by the evils of the world, made him fell into a stupor. Only after a few seconds did he awaken from his daze. He cleared his throat awkwardly and smiled guiltily.

Still, he was someone who was a professional and so was able to cover his stiffness and smoothly followed up, “I just thought that the lady’s lips is better suited with a smile.”

‘Sh*t. The lady’s lips is better suited with a smile? Seriously?! What kind of statement or excuse is that?!’ Assistant Yu wanted to slap himself. If he could rewind the time, he would go back and not say that at all. He was so ashamed at himself from hitting on a little girl he thought was cute and adorable.

“…” Yun Xixi

“…” Assistant Yu

Yun Xixi and Assistant Yu fell into a strained silence.

‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I feel like I’ll into cloud nine ah! Assistant Yu, why did you say that? Are you trying to seduce me and make me pounce on you right now?!’ Yun Xixi was still looking dumbstruck but in her mind, it was not. She was already dancing, jumping, and rolling in her mind in celebration. ‘Is this it? Is he hitting on her now? Really? Ahh~!’

“I’m sorry to disturb this sweet moment you both had but I just had to intervene.”

October’s voice sounded, instantly broke the silence in the room. She did not look bothered or uneasy at all as she kept her face straight. It would even seem like she was was being dense at the unusual atmosphere between the two if not because of what she had just said.

“Director!” Yun Xixi gasped in surprise as her face turned redder than before. She felt ashamed that she had just let her boss saw her acting like that a second time. Why her? Why?

She was so ashamed of herself that she lowered her head immediately and tried to minimize her presence as much as possible.

Assistant Yu looked normal as he respectfully gave a small bow to October, “Good morning, young madam. Young master had just sent me to give this to you. He saw this in passing and thought that you might like it.”

After saying that, he went forward and presented the packed box to October with a small smile, his eyes glowing meaningfully.

October was surprised, but just did not let it show on her face. She just nodded her head and received it with her hand. She then opened the lid and the smell of the fruit from the box quickly wafted in the air and filled the room with it’s frangrance.

Assistant Yu and Yun Xixi was not bothered by the mild fruity frangrace and even thought that it seemed delicious. But as soon as their eyes landed on October’s face, they clamped up and just stared quietly.

October scrunched up her nose in disgust as the strong fragrance assualted her senses. She closed the lid and pushed the box back to Assistant Yu’s hands in a hurry before taking a few steps back.

“What is that?” She said while covering her nose to block the smell and frowned.

Assistant Yu was taken aback by his young madam’s reaction. But even so, answered, “I think this is called Durian, young madam.”

Yun Xixi sprung up on her feet as she swiftly to her boss’ side. She noticed that October looked pale which was very alarming. “Are you okay, Director? Do you want to sit?”

Her gaze then turned to the box on Assistant Yu’s hands and glared at it. She then harshly said, “Assistant Yu, I think it is best for you to close the lid immediately. It seemed like it’s making the director sick. Put it away. No. Throw it away quickly.”

October felt so nauseous. She had not experienced this for a while now and thought that it had already passed but she thought wrong. She was controlling it well but she just could not stop it and so hurriedly went to the ladies’ room. Yun Xixi followed suit in worry.

Assistant Yu who was left in the office was also shaken up at the happenings that unfolded before his eyes. He was also anxious. He then turned to follow his young madam but stopped. He went to look for a trash bin and dumped the box in it before pulling his phone to call his boss.

It did not take even a second ring before it was answered and came a cold voice of a man, “Did she like it?”

“Ah. About that, young master.” He felt reluctant to say it since it was his master who bought for his wife. But he has to say it.

“What is it?” Lexus comfortably leaned on his executive seat when he asked this.

“The young madam…she looked pale and went out in a hurry. Her secretary’s with her right now.” He said in a fl.u.s.ter. His back was drenched with cold sweat. It even got worst when he felt the deep and eerie silence on the other of the phone.

‘Sh*t. Am I going to lose my head this time?! But i didn’t do anything wrong aside from handing that fruit to the young madam from the young master.’ Assistant Yu felt so aggrieved as he wailed inside.

October washed her face to cool herself while Yun Xixi patted her back. It was the second time that she had Yun Xixi helped her like this.

“Director, are you okay now? This is worrisome. Should I call your husband to get you to the hospital? This has happened several times already.” Yun Xixi was trembling in fear at what would happen to her boss. Her eyes turned red and water pooled, threatening to spill out of her eyes.

October looked at Yun Xixi from the mirror and pursed her lips. Not long later, she thought that it was not a big deal to tell her. Didn’t she already said that Yun Xixi was like her sister already?

“Xixi, I’m pregnant.”

“Oh no. Director, that kind of sickness is so worrisome. Come, let’s go…ah?”
