Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 72

Ling Yue returned to her room. Her body slumped behind the door as she entered.

“What was that?”

Ling Yue touched her lips. The burning sensation of Xi Jian’s lips and tongue still felt there. Her face turned red again. Her heart beats faster.

“Waaaa … what’s wrong with me?” Ling Yue covered her face with both hands.

After staying in that pose for a long time, Ling Yue lifted her face, preparing to get a probing gaze from Cia Shaoyi why she hadn’t returned last night. But what welcomes her was an empty room without occupants. Cia Shaoyi’s suitcase that was placed at the end of the bed was missing too.

‘Huh? Where is she going?’

Ling Yue rummaged through her bag then spilled the contents of her bag looking for a cellphone. She checked her cellphone and cursed. Cia Shaoyi left a message for her two hours ago saying that she was already on a boarding plane and asked for her whereabouts.

She missed the flight back to City M.

Calming herself, Ling Yue stood up slowly. She took a bath and packing her belonging before headed for the restaurant. Ling Yue wasn’t very appetizing about food. She took whatever looks good when she passes by, then brings her tray to an empty table. She ate while looking for the available flight schedules again. Ling Yue didn’t realize that someone had been sitting in front of her earlier.

“Missed the flight?”

“Hmm …” Ling Yue glanced over and almost spat out her food. Xi Jian sat in front of her casually. His hair and suits look neat. He was handsome and manly as always. But this time it looked more radiant in Ling Yue’s eyes.

‘Huh? Am I just imagining? ‘

Ling Yue rubbed her eyes and the light was still there. His aura really made Ling Yue suddenly sweaty and agitated, because his appearance did not match Xi Jian’s face which was so scary.

“Yes …”

“Who told you to sleep like a dead person.” Xi Jian in a high-class manner ate in front of Ling Yue.

Ling Yue’s sullen face couldn’t be hidden. “I am sorry,” she said quietly.

Xi Jian didn’t even look at her.” For what? ”

‘that kiss?’

Both thought the same. Ling Yue coughed a little. She reached for her glass. “For not returning to work on time?” somehow, she felt her heart beat faster than before.

Xi Jian raised his eyes to look at Ling Yue. The way Ling Yue wiped the leftovers on her lips made him want to cross the table and lick it with his tongue. Xi Jian’s eyes darkened again. His first attitude was impulsive. He had reflected on it and threw the thought away. Still, he wants what he shouldn’t touch.

“You don’t need to go back to the office as soon as possible. You can help Bai Xu take care of my meeting today.”

Bai Xu who sat not far from them staring suspiciously. Something must have happened last night. There was no way this cold young master would keep a woman by his side just for only an hour or two. He would kick them right away.

Bai Xu saw Xi Jian look at him sharply. He smiled pitifully. “Yes, Miss Ling should help me today. You too can accompany the young master at the party tonight.”

Xi Jian and Ling Yue turned to him.

“Party?” Xi Jian raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah. There’s a party for W’s anniversary celebration tonight.”

“Good, then.” He stared at her. “As you wish, I will take you to the party tonight.”

“I didn’t bring a dress for a party like that.” Ling Yue put down the cutlery.

“No need to worry.” Bai Xu glanced at Xi Jian then looked at Ling Yue. “We will take care of it.”

Xi Jian’s schedule was really tight. Luckily Ling Yue had breakfast, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to keep up with Xi Jian’s work rhythm. They bȧrėly could eat lunch.

“You can go back to your hotel and rest. I’ll be back before evening.” He told Ling Yue before dropping her off in front of the hotel.

Ling Yue chose to rest her waist.

“Uuuu my waist! How can he work like that? Mr. Bai is no less strong. Well, that is what is expected from business king’s ȧssistant.”

Ling Yue rolled on the bed and was tired and finally fell asleep. She kept flicking on her side looking for a cellphone when that small object rang.

“Hello?”

“Are you sleeping?” Xi Jian’s voice sounded tired at the other end. Ling Yue suddenly sat down.

“No. I’m awake. Is it the time?”

“Someone will come with your dress. I’ll pick you up in an hour.” and Xi Jian hung up on her.

Whaatt? an hour? Ling Yue rushed to take a shower. When she finished, two poeple knocked on her door and came in with a black dress and a make up suitcases.

They both dressed Ling Yue without saying much. The make up artist could not cover her admiration when staring at the results of her own work. The stylist who brought the dress was no less open-mouthed. How could this plain ċȯċktail dress look so elegant on this woman’s body.
