The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 275

October felt a tug on her shoulders. The hand was gentle and warm. It also gave her the sense of familiarity. Reaching out to the hand on her shoulder instinctively, she smiled and slowly opened her eyes. She blinked her eyes to make her eyes clearer before stifling a yawn.

“Wake up, sleepy head.” Lexus’ voice travelled soothingly on her ear as if c.a.r.e.s.sing her at every fiber of her body. Her smile got bigger and eyes turned crescents while looking at the sinfully handsome face only inches away from her.

“What?” Lexus asked with playful eyes when he saw October just looking at him without blinking. “Do you want to imprint my face in your mind, hm? What? Is this distance not enough? Do you want me to get closer? Yeah? Okay.”

Is what Lexus said. But in all actuality, their distance were already a few inches away and so when he got closer, their noses had already touched, their hot breaths that carries their own unique fragrance hitting each other’s faces.

“You know…” October trailed as she stared in marvel at the gleaming hot eyes before her.

“Yeah?” His voice turned hoarse. His eyes flashed and could not stop himself as he dropped a kiss on her little nose.

“You know, my “handsome” husband, rather than just look at you right now, I would rather you give me the food I ordered you to get.” She sweetly smiled while patting his smooth cheek. Her eyes sparkled and smile grew deeper as she saw the change on his face, from a teasing smile to a cold and almost crying face.

Sure enough, a giggle escaped her thin pink lips.

Lexus felt a pang in his heart. He could not believe what he had just heard.

‘I was rejected…? My wife…’

“Wife, did-did you just chose food over me?” He asked incredulously. He looked at October, searching her eyes for answers, but all he got was a bright eyes and sparkling smile that gave a healing effect on him.

“What? Do you want your wife and your children to starve?” October asked, arching her elegant brow, challenging him. And sure enough, he was stumped for words.

‘Me? Am I someone who’d starve his wife and children? Me? Ridiculous!’ He thought with a slight frown. However, somehow or another, when October said “your wife and your children,” an explicable joy bubbled in him. He didn’t know that a wide grin was on his face that made him look silly but cute…at least that’s what October sees.

Because if this was seen by his subordinates, including Assistant Yu, they would shiver in fear with all of their blood drained from their faces as if they have seen a ghost…no, more like a demon who was out to get them.

“Still not getting up?”

“No. Up.” Lexus immediately got up and helped October naturally. They then descended to the kitchen where the food and fruits she requested were neatly placed on the table.

As soon as October saw the fruits she craved and the intoxicating aroma that the dishes have entered her nostrils. She felt a drool trying to escape from her mouth. She could not even take her eyes off of it. Like a butterfly fluttering her wings toward that sweet nectar, she swiftly went to sit in front of the table and gobbled her food.

Lexus bitterly laughed at himself. But as he looked at his wife happily eating her food on the table, he felt extremely satisfied and an indulgent and affectionate light warmed his eyes. He shook his head in defeat and went to sit beside October and helped her peel the skin off an apple, slicing it up into bite-sized, before feeding it to her.

After her food feast, October leaned lazily on Lexus’ body on the couch. Lexus was playing with her hair which felt like a soft and gentle massage on her head making her stifle a yawn.

Lexus chuckled, making his c.h.e.s.t tremble. His eyes glimmered while looking at the little woman in his arms who looked like a glamorous lazy cat and the satisfaction he got from it was beyond words. He wished time would stand still at this moment but, unfortunately for him, that would not happen.

October blinked her eyes and got up to face Lexus, eyes turning serious.

“Tell me what you and grandpa are going to do.”

This was not a question or a request but rather an order from October to Lexus, an order in which Lexus had a hard time rejecting. He diverted his eyes away from her prying ones.

“Just leave this to us.” He said, plastering a forced smile on his face but his eyes were still filled with warmth. He lovingly combed his fingers through her hair and continued, “What you have to concentrate on doing now is take care of your body, eat, sleep, and eat.”

“Why do I feel like you wanted me to always eat? I’ll be fat then.”

Lexus laughed, “Then you’ll be the most beautiful and s.e.xy chubby wife of mine.”

“What?!” October gasped and playfully slapped his shoulders. “Then you really want me to get fat? Is it because you want to look at other fragrant flowers in your garden, is that it?!”

Lexus felt his blood turn cold. He nervously shook his head in complete denial. “Of course not! How could that be possible?”

October narrowed her eyes at him. ‘This man…so cute. I was just teasing him and yet his reaction was just so pleasing to the eyes.’

“Good. It’s good to know that we are on the same page. ” October nodded in satisfaction. She wanted to continue teasing him but that is not important right now. Again, she turned to him and looked at him in the eyes. She won’t let this slide.

“Back to our topic, what’s your plan?” She asked, pulling herself away from Lexus and sat properly, folding her arms across her c.h.e.s.t. “Say or you’ll sleep in this couch.”

Lexus was again startled and nervous. He sweated and tried to reason, “Wife, can you have the heart to let me sleep here? You can’t do this to me.”

“Try me.” She said, narrowing her eyes. That’s right. Just try and he’ll know if he’d really dare or not.

Lexus pursed his lips in silence. He searched her eyes if she was just kidding but the sternness in her eyes tells him that she was really serious. Then, he sighed, a deep long sigh of utter defeat.

“I can’t win with you.” After saying that in a bitter tone, he told October about the key points of his and Grandpa He’s plan. His wife is an intelligent woman so he was not worried about explaining further as she could already put the pieces together. See? He had already seen the shine in her eyes.

‘My wife really understands me most.’ He said to himself with a proud grin dancing on his lips.

“Basically a downright purge on the surface and underground.” October said out loud with no emotion in her tone. It was as if Peizhi was someone she had never met before or the assets Peizhi has does not put any weight in her. All she knows was that the house she once regarded as her home full of warm memories with her mother was like a dark and cold stone house.

But then, in the back of her mind, a small childish voice rang in her mind.

‘Big sister…’

This little voice kept on calling her. Though his voice almost as cold as she was before, it was still milky and cute with a trace of warmth while calling her. It was still innocent and she could not help but grit her teeth and frown.

“What’s wrong? You really don’t have to worry anything. I’ll do something about it. I don’t want you to mind about it else it will affect you and my children.” Lexus said. He always had his eyes on his wife and so he was immediately able to notice the sudden change in October.

“Your children? They are not only yours!” October snapped while shooting daggers at Lexus making him flinch as a chill run down his spine.

He let out a nervous laugh and said, “My wife, I’m wrong. I was just so happy and excited when talking about our children.”

“Hmph! Don’t try to distract me. I want to know all the details about your plan. Nothing should be kept hidden, including my grandfather. You don’t have to worry about me and the children, I’ll make it sure that they’re healthy. If I’d be kept in the dark, then all the more that I would worry. Do you want that?”

Lexus shook his head the second he heard this. Of course, as a doting husband, how can he let his wife be exposed in danger. With that thought, he vowed to monitor his wife and protect her even more than before. He would also protect his darling daughters.

‘Longwei…’
