The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 282
Assistant Yu stood in wait in silence. The room was also as such that one would think that there were no people inside the office at all. It looked peaceful, serene.
That should have been the case if not for that murderous dark energy released from the person who can’t calm himself.
“Sht.” Lexus low-key cursed. The kid was only just barely 5 years old but knowing that he was spending quality time with his wife made him want to storm to the cafeteria and take his wife. He could not put up with the fact that another man was trying to steal his woman. (Not.)
Truth be told, Lexus was jealous with Longwei who was clearly October’s little brother which technically was his brother-in-law. In short, he was a petty man.
Assistant Yu was so frustrated and dying to run out of the office for dear life. Just feeling that dark ominous presence just beside him had his hairs stand on end.
‘You damn petty man! Is it hard for you to dismiss me first before drowning in your jealousy?!’ Assistant Yu screamed in his thought while cursing. Despite his vicious thoughts, he looked calm and collected. Calm. Collected. Cold sweat…?
Suddenly, the sharp scraping of the chair sounded followed by Lexus standing up from it. The patience he had was no more as he stormed toward the exit.
“B-boss! Where are you going?” Assistant Yu called, sweating profusely. ‘Did he finally reach his limit? I thought he would not last that long.’
“I miss my wife.” He simply replied.
‘Yes, yes. You miss her to death when only 10 minutes passed.’ Assistant Yu wanted to cry a river but can’t. He resigned himself and helplessly followed his boss.
At this time, the door of the office opened and came in two ladies of elegance and beauty. The two ladies’ eyes instantly fell on Lexus with explicit emotions flashing across their eyes.
“…” Assistant Yu’s eyes when from confusion to recognition to fear.
The old lady walked elegantly and only stopped a few feet away from Lexus who had stiffened in place.
“What? Is something the matter? You looked pale. Are you sick? Tell your nana, I’ll solve it for you.” She said with worry written in her aged face while placing a hand on Lexus’ cheek.
That’s right. The old lady who strode over into the company unhindered was none other than Lexus Song’s paternal grandmother, Feng Yu.
“Grandmother.”
Feng Yu immediately furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction. She took back her hand.
“What a cold brat. You call your nana as “grandmother?” It sounded like your so distant to me, that we are not biological grandmother and grandson.” She scowled.
Lexus looked at his grandmother as if he was looking at a total stranger. He does not feel warmth, delight, nor even a little bit of respect, just nothing.
“Hmph!” Feng Yu harrumphed and turned to Assistant Yu who was standing beside Lexus and said, “You, prepare us some tea.”
Assistant Yu flinched. He turned to look at his boss but seeing as there was no reaction, he did as he was told. He went out of the office to get some tea and snacks to accompany it. As he was making his way out, he noticed the woman that was accompanying the old madam and to his surprise, it was Lu Xing, the woman delusional enough to call herself as the fiancée of Lexus.
“Little Xing, come with grandma and sit with me.” Feng Yu warmly called for Lu Xing who immediately sat beside Feng Yu before turning to look at Lexus.
The two stared at each other for a good while before Lexus reacted and went to sit on the couch, fixing his suit and combed his hair. He crossed his legs and folded his arms over his broad chest before leaning on his back to stare at the charade that his grandmother and Lu Xing in front of him.
“Little Xing, do you have any boyfriend?” Feng Yu asked with a teasing tone.
Lu Xing giggled shyly while stealing quick peeks at that gorgeous man sitting opposite her and replied, “No, I don’t one at the moment but I might have one in the future.”
“Oh my. Good, good.” Feng Yu nodded her head with a smile making the wrinkles on her face more apparent. “Lexus, your childhood friend is here in front of you, a grown beautiful woman. Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”
As this was said, it was also at this time that Assistant Yu came back in with tea and another assistant carrying a tray of snacks. Both of them lowered their heads and quietly served the old madam and Lexus before retreating in the far corner, trying to diminish their existence.
Lexus, without an ounce of ripple in his eyes, looked at his grandmother then to the person sitting next her, Lu Xing.
His stare was expressionless, estranged at most, as if he was an immortal monarch looking at an insignificant amoeba. It was just a single look yet the one receiving it felt like she has finally gotten Lexus’ attention.
With her heart beating loudly in her chest and a face burning up, she smile and said, “Brother Lexus.”
“Are you my sister? Did my father adopt you?” Lexus asked, raising his eyebrow at him.
‘Oh my gosh! He’s still dashing looking like that. Even his eyebrows are perfectly carved and shaped to the tee. And his voice! His voice makes my insides tremor in delight.’ Lu Xing thought, shifting her weight while sitting.
“No, of course not.” Lu Xing denied. Heck she was terrified with the thought of being a blood-relative with her beloved man.
‘That would be my worst nightmare!’
“No? Then don’t call me brother so casually. Tch.” Lexus felt disgusted as he can feel that obsessed look he was getting from Lu Xing. What was more was that he felt like he had met her before and the feeling he was getting was pure hatred and disgust.
Lexus’ words were filled with thorns but Lu Xing felt like his words were filled with the scent of flowers. She was now fallen head-over-heels for him again.
‘So he does not want us to be relatives because he also likes me. Ha! He should have just said that in the first place.’
“Yes. I’ll remember that.” She said and shyly covered her red lips and giggled.
Feng Yu who was seeing the shy Lu Xing smiled contentedly and nodded.
‘Yes. This should be the kind of woman my perfect grandson should have. Her looks and her background are also perfect. She’s even good with her studies so she will be of great help with him in the future with the companies.’
“Lexus, watch your tone.” Feng Yu berated before taking Lu Xing’s hand. “But yes, you have a point. Lu Xing, you should not call him brother because that is not intimate enough.”
“Grandma, you’re teasing me.”
Lexus looked at the two women in front of him and he felt like his energy was sapped at an alarming rate. Right now, all he wanted was his wife’s embrace.
Lexus does not want to spend more time with them. He got up without a word and started to walk out.
Lu Xing saw Lexus leave. Then October immediately came into her mind. Her hatred surged into her making her grit her teeth. She hurriedly got up and stumbled on her feet.
Things happened too fast and a body had plastered herself on Lexus like a glue. Lexus felt like he touched a dirty piece of rag that we wanted to removed from his body right away. But it was at this time that the office door click open and October came in.
Lexus felt his heart stopped beating and dropped to his stomach. He felt his blood turned ice cold. He was having some sort of déjà vu or something. Never mind that. All he can think now was October might misunderstand him and that would be horrifying.
He pushed Lu Xing away but the woman won’t stop clinging to him. He got irritated. He turned to October and opened his mouth to explain only to hear a smacking sound and a soft thing touching his cheek.
Lexus’ reason immediately exploded. With all his might, he flung Lu Xing away making her drop on her butt unceremoniously, letting out a scream in pain.
Like a frightened puppy running to it’s master, Lexus ran to October with a wronged face. He looked at his wife who did not say anything at all from the beginning and his insides shuddered.
“Little Xing! You brat! Why did you push her so hard?!” Feng Yu hugged Lu Xing into her arms and comforted her. She knew that Lexus was a cold kid but never did she know that he was worse than that. “Lexus, she’s your childhood friend. You know her since you two were kids and yet you just treated her like you don’t. Is that how your parents raised you?”
He turned his dark cold eyes to Lu Xing and then to Feng Yu who was berating him nonstop.
“You have no right to say something about my parents.”
“I am your grandmother!”
“Step-grandmother. No blood ties.”
Feng Yu felt like her heart just got stabbed by a sword. This was her sore spot. It was not known to many that she was just a second wife of the Song family. But now, Lu Xing heard it. There were also other people in the office who had heard it.
“I-I just care for you. I don’t want you to lead a vicious life. Your grandfather also knows this.”
“Hmph! I don’t care about what you and grandpa is doing but don’t interfere with my life. Also you!” He viciously pointed at Lu Xing as if he was about to kill her, “You dare touch me?! Who do think you are? I am already my wife’s, October’s, property!”
