Xie Yuansheng slept so peacefully that he didn"t remember what time it had been but when he woke up it was early morning. Instinctively he spread his hands to feel the woman beside him, but she wasn"t there. He missed her warm body and he got up from his place to look around. He saw that the curtains were all pulled aside and the morning light was falling in. The sun hadn"t risen up the horizon yet. He looked in the front to see Feng Xinying who was sitting at the study table browsing through the office doc.u.ments as usual. He had an urge to pull her back to the bed and make love but restrained himself.
"Good morning!" she said looking at him and gave a brilliant smile. "How are you feeling?"
He smiled and yawned slightly. After stretching his limbs, he said, "I am feeling okay."
"Just okay?" asked Feng Xinying as her lips curved down. She was hoping to see him in a much better condition.
"Well, I would become better if you come back in the bed and lie down with me," he replied brazenly.
Feng Xinying stared at his shamelessness while he smiled at her through his teeth. "You better not get any of those ideas, okay? Your body needs to be healed."
"For my body to become better, it needs Vitamin S," he replied.
Feng Xinying was confused. She frowned and asked, "Vitamin S? What vitamin is that? The doctor hasn"t prescribed that…"
"That vitamin only you can give me?" he replied as his smile broadened.
Feng Xinying stared at him with confusion and then suddenly she understood. Her eyes became wide, she gritted her teeth and threw a pencil at him. Her perverted husband was as usual when it came to Vitamin S. "Go and get your Vitamin from the market!" she said and went back to reading with a blush rising in her neck.
"Don"t give me that option Feng Xinying otherwise you will regret it," he answered as he got out of the bed.
Once again Feng Xinying gritted her teeth. "Do you wish to die or do you wish to stay confined with Kitchen?" This man was getting out of his mind now.
Xie Yuansheng started laughing. "I wish to stay confined inside you," he teased.
Feng Xinying shook her head. She started reading the details about the project that they Xie Yuansheng had taken up recently, The Golden City project. A vendor had supplied very bad quality brick and mortar and few houses were showing traces of seepage. Feng Xinying had to take care of it immediately otherwise her reputation would go down. She had a meeting with her staff who was looking into this on two days later and before that she wanted to investigate everything herself.
Seeing that she was very busy with work, Xie Yuansheng went to the bathroom and got ready. He was happy and satisfied that she was in his room. That was more than enough for him to become better.
Manager Hun was standing right over there when Shu Jing Min was throwing his gla.s.s filled with wine on the floor. "You couldn"t even take care of one thing in life Hun. You are a useless man. I had put you over there to oversee what was going on with my s.h.i.+pping business and yet you could not prevent even a single sale. Are s.h.i.+ps in my fleet some toys that they can be sold anytime you feel like?"
Manager Hun didn"t know what to say. He had already spoken everything truthfully. There was nothing he could do in front of Miss Xinying. She was the owner of the company and could do whatever she liked. "I asked her to give us some time before selling the next s.h.i.+p because I know that as soon as Young Miss Shu Ning is married, the company would get a new lease of life with fresh investment, but she didn"t agree."
"This woman is getting out of control!" shouted Shu Jing Min. "We have to find a way to get to her." Then he looked at Manager Hun and continued, "Find out everything about her. There is something very odd about the way she is handling the office and Xie Yuansheng is staying at home. He doesn"t look so ill as the company is projecting his image. Go and find out all the past records from a month back. I need some material to corner that b.i.t.c.h!"
"Okay," replied Manager Hun and left hurriedly.
Shu Jing Min picked up a bottle of wine that was kept on the table and took a large swig from it. Then he took his phone and dialed a number.
The phone was picked exactly after one ring, "Yes boss?"
Shu Jing Min told the man on the other side what to do.
"Okay boss," he replied and the phone was disconnected.
Shu Jing Min took another swig from the bottle and just as he kept it on the table, he heard a commotion outside the room. Shu Ning was howling and shouting, "I will not marry that man! Can"t you see that he is twice my age? Mother, are you blind? Why are you trading me with that man? You people didn"t have the capability to pull up your business together and now you are pimping me for money."
Jiao Long was aghast to hear Shu Ning. She sounded so blatant that Jiao Long slapped her hard on her cheek. "You ingrate! This is how you talk to your parents? That man is so rich that you would never ever have to beg for money for your entire life."
Shu Ning held her cheek, which was now burning with pain. "I will not marry him!" she shouted again and ran to her bedroom.
Shu Jing Min came out of his room and glared at Jiao Long. "Get her ready to marry tomorrow itself. If she doesn"t do as told, you know what I will do to her."
Jiao Long"s shuddered under Shu Jing Min"s gaze. She had seen him killing people. Shu Ning wasn"t his daughter and so she knew that he would not compromise on his punishment. She went to Shu Ning"s room.
For the whole day Feng Xinying stayed in Xie Yuansheng"s room and monitored his progress. He was getting better and better. All the while he would keep pa.s.sing lewd remarks and she would keep dodging them. They were having a lovely time together.
Next day she received a call that shocked her.
