The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 192

Xi Ana isn’t really petite but right now with her curled up and snuggling onto him, he felt as though his wife became smaller all of a sudden which made him want to keep her all to himself.

If only he could keep her inside the house and never let her appear outside, he would do so but that would be so selfish right? And it’s not like this is possible anyway.

When he saw how sad she looked as she entered their room despite the smile she showed him, his heart ached for her. The only thing he wanted to do right now is to hug her so tight to remind her than he is always here for her whatever happens.

There might not be tears on her face anymore but was clear as day to him that she had cried and even without her saying she’s in pain, he can feel it.

Since he’s actually sitting and Xi Ana is half-lying and half-sitting on the bed while hugging his waist, she would surely feel uncomfortable after a while.

Lim Yi Sheng lifted the woman in his arms a little and lied down comfortably beside her as he rested her head on his ċhėst.

“Are you tired?” he asked in a soft voice while combing her hair with his right hand while the other is tightly hugging her waist.

“Uhm..” her eyes were closed as she answered and moved to find a comfortable position.

“Let’s sleep then.” Lim Yi Sheng whispered.

“Uhm..” he kissed her closed eyes and the top of he head while his hand continued ċȧrėss the back of her head.

Tonight the usual wife who loves to tease him at every chance she gets is really not around which felt really different.

It’s not like he was not curious about their conversation which made Xi Ana have this kind of reaction but if asking her would hurt her as much as this, then he’d rather not know.

He may not be able to promise that he will never make her cry in this lifetime but from the day he had realized how much he loves her, he already vowed to himself that he would treasure Xi Ana for as long as he lives.

For a while he stayed like that and he didn’t even realize what time he had fallen asleep.

The next morning Lim Yi Sheng woke up in time they usually do during workdays. Since they get up rather early everday, his body clock automatically wakes him up like that.

At first he thought that his wife is already awake like usual and when saw that Xi Ana is still sleeping he does he was surprised that his wife is still snuggled next to him and he can’t help but smile upon the sight of it.

He gently removed her arms on his waist and he was trying to be as careful as he can be to avoid waking Xi Ana up. Moreover, it’s rare for her to sleep in and with the emotional exhaustion she’d been through last night, it is better to just let her rest for a while longer.

By the time he managed to get off the bed without waking Xi Ana, it already took him more than a minute or so. He fixed the blanket over her before going to the bathroom with his phone and dialed the number of his wife’s temporary ȧssistant to inquire about Xi Ana’s schedule for today,

He is not yet that familiar with this temporary ȧssistant since the person he often contacted before was Hannah and because she is in an indefinite leave right now, another person is needed to help Xi Ana with her schedule as for how competent she is Lim Yi Sheng had no idea.

“Yes, Young Master Lim? Is there something you need?” Wang Xinyi on the other line answered respectfully.

For him to call so early in the morning, is it possible that something happened to her jiejie? This is what’s running on her might at the moment.

“This is Ms. Wang, right?” Lim Yi Seng asked for confirmation.

“Yes, Young Master I am indeed Wang Xinyi and I am the temporary ȧssistant of the president.”

“I just wanna ask Xi Ana’s schedule for today.”

Usually, divulging the schedule of your boss is not something that a mere ȧssistant can casually do. Truth be told, sometimes even with those who are already husband and wife still keeps their schedule a secret from one another but not for this couple.

Wang Xinyi recalled Xi Ana’s schedule for the day, “The president doesn’t have a meeting in the morning and the only important agenda she has for today is her video conference with the branch managers of the International branches at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Aside from that, she only needed to work on some documents inside the office as usual.”

“She might not be able to go to the office this morning so if something urgent came up just give us a call. You don’t have to cancel the meeting in the afternoon, just wait for her instruction in a while.” the instruction of Lim Sheng really suited his pers

Wang Xinyi really wanted to ask why because she’s rather worried but she knows that she is not in the position to do that so she doesn’t have choice but to just say yes for now. “Noted, young master.”

“Thank you, Ms. Wang.”

When he went out of the bathroom he found his wife is still sleeping peacefully on the bed, he smiled and just let her be.

This is really something that has never happened before, she would sometimes wake up a little bit later than usual but not to this extent. How he hopes that his wife would really do this from time to time so that she could properly rest.

It’s also a good thing that he managed to push back his schedule for lunch at least he doesn’t have to worry about leaving her first thing in the morning.

The way he had pushed open the door was so gentle to avoid it from creaking lest that would accidentally wake Xi Ana from her deep sleep.

The moment he got down he first went to the dining hall and found the three gentlemen of the X Family gathered in front of the table for breakfast.

It’s understandable that they start the day early since it is also quite a distance from here to Xi Corporation.

He did not made it so obvious but he did cast a glance towards his father-in-law and his face doesn’t look any better than how Xi Ana looked last night after they had the conversation.

He might not have the puffy eyes that Xi Ana has but his face looked as though he had just survived a calamity.

“Brother, join us for breakfast. By the way, where is my sister?” it was Xi Chen who spoke and the latter part of his sentence was exactly what the other two wanted to ask as well.

“Good morning grandfather, good morning father. Please excuse us from not joining you for breakfast. Ana is still sleeping and I just don’t have the heart to wake her up.”

When the three heard that Xi Ana is still sleeping they really couldn’t hide the surprised expression on their faces. Why won’t they be surprised if this event is as rare as hail happening in summer.

“She’s still sleeping? That’s indeed rare. Just let her sleep for a while then. How about you? Won’t you join us?” Xi Shendong asked.

“I was actually planning to prepare breakfast for Ana since it’s been a while since I last cooked for her. Grandfather, please pardon you grandson-in-law for now and I will surely make it up to you some other time.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Since it is for my granddaughter of course everything’s fine. You can go.”

“Thank you, grandfather.” he excused himself after that and went directly to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the three who were left on the dining hall looked at the back of Lim Yi Sheng seemingly having the same thought running on their minds at the moment.

When the person can no longer be seen from they are sitting they all retrieved their gazes and resumed eating.

In their hearts, they were really thankful that Xi Ana married Lim Yi Sheng.
