Chapter 43 Taking bribes ~ (1)
No wonder he needed the perfume! To cover up the smell in the office.
Xu Yizhi"s face changed slightly, that Chi Jingyu couldn"t even do this little thing well.
“Ling Xi, I"m sorry. It was me.”
Seeing Ling Xi"s face was still not good, Xu Yizhi began to panic. He threw the cigarette case on the table into the trash can, and carefully opened his mouth, “You… Can you not be mad at me?”
When she heard that, her heart softened. When had Xu Yizhi ever whispered like this, like he was suffering from a wrong?
In her previous life, he was aloof, arrogant and proud, but now because of her own change he was also changing. Such a man made her feel heartache but also moved.
The corners of her mouth lifted up into a slight smile and she got up from the seat. “En, I"m not angry! In the future don"t lie to me again.”
Xu Yizhi vowed: “I definitely won"t.”
“However, in the future apart from when you"re socializing, it would be better not to smoke more than necessary.”
“Alright.”
Thinking of a matter, Ling Xi took out some doc.u.ments from her bag. “I have something to discuss with you. I broke my contract with ‘Star Charm" this morning. Can you see if I have the qualifications to join ‘Yi Ling"?”
A pair of black and s.h.i.+ning eyes twinkled at him.
Xu Yizhi"s mood suddenly became pleasant and happy. It turned out she didn"t tell him about the cancellation, not because he wasn"t important.
“But…”
Hearing this, Ling Xi still thought that her qualifications weren"t enough. After all, ‘Yi Ling" catered to first-tier stars.
Joining ‘Yi Ling", of course she had her own purpose. She had to guard his company… Find the black sheep inside.
“Husband, do you accept bribes?
Xu Yizhi didn"t understand what she meant. Ling Xi put down the doc.u.ments in her hands, wrapped her arms around his neck, slammed a cold kiss on his cheek and quickly backed off.
The girl"s face gradually ignited with a delicious pomegranate red, her eyes seeming to contain clear clean spring water, making Xu Yizhi"s heart s.h.i.+ne.
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and it seemed that both of them could hear the other"s heartbeat, ‘bang bang"… There was no disorder, there was no regularity.
The sweet smell seemed to stay on his cheek, and staring deeper and deeper into the girl"s eyes, his body screamed, but he tried to suppress the throbbing of his body"s internal ache– it"s original instigation.
Ling Xi pretended as if nothing had happened, “Anyway, you"ve already received the bribe..”
That small appearance was like a ‘Don"t you want me, come get it!" expression.
Although her expression didn"t look any different, the red halo on her cheeks and ears betrayed her shyness.
Xu Yizhi"s eyes were full of more pampering and addiction, more softness and affection, “En, I know.”
“Are you agreeing?”
Ling Xi"s eyes flashed with bright colors.
Seeing her happy expression, Xu Yizhi once again had a feeling of drifting.
It was like… his feet weren"t stepping on the ground.
After the business was settled, a feeling of sleepiness struck, and Ling Xi could not help yawning, the corner of her eye vaguely wet.
“Husband, can you sleep with me for a while? I find that sleeping by your side is especially safe, and I don"t even have the need to take sleeping pills.”
Hearing this, Xu Yizhi"s heart burst with pain and distress. Taking sleeping pills could hurt the body. How had she grown up to this stage after so many years?
“Okay, I"ll take you home to sleep.”
“No, this one time is too much trouble. I think the sofa is quite big. Can you?”
