Two-faced : Doting Husband & Shameless Wife

Xi Jian prepared everything carefully. He put almost thousand red roses in the main room. Every corner in this house were also not spared from beautiful fresh flower arrangement. He also decorated all the minimalist shiny new furniture that he ordered - based on Ling Yue's preference - at the location according to its place.

In fact, he prepared all of this to propose to Ling Yue, but because of their extremely fast process from one event to another until their wedding was held, Xi Jian backed his intention and changed it for her surprise birthday party tomorrow and at the same time, show her their new home.

A week passed after their wedding ceremony. No significant problems occurred at that time. Well, there was one actually. Xi Jian got really annoyed with Lings male. They didn't give him a time to dance with Ling Yue at the after party and pushed him away. He needed an extra spirit to fight and glued to Ling Yue so she won't be abducted by her brothers or other family and leave him alone on their wedding.

He did not even have the chance to leisurely make a baby after their event, let alone enjoy their honeymoon because he had to fly immediately to secure some things and just returned today. Xi Jian didn't tell Ling Yue that he was back. He reconsidered to tie a ribbon on his neck and giving himself as a present to Ling Yue. Xi Jian couldn't wait to see her adorable expression if he really do that.

And the day after tomorrow, he could casually bring Ling Yue to honeymoon wherever she wanted then making babies to his heart's content. Woohoo!

Xi Jian looked around once more and made sure everything was perfect before his wife arrived.

"Wait a minute, what are you saying?" Ling Yue pressed her phone to her ear more closely. She returned to work at King Empire even though Xi Jian said she didn't need to work and just sat comfortably at home.

Then this morning, Chu Wei called to confirm the total termination of her contract at DuChen.

"I said 'Du Zhuang inform our collegue at the meeting that you resign and he had officially accepted your resignation'. I'm sorry I can not feel happy but I guess what you doing were make a sense after being Mrs. Xi."

Chu Wei was one of the guests invited to their wedding so the matter-of-course she knew. How happy was she when learn that the ship she idolized sails freely in the ocean of love?

Ling Yue narrowed. She resigned? Or she was fired? She couldn't recall the time she submit her resignation letter.

"As long as I remember, I never put in a resignation letter or anything. He said I only worked here temporarily, right? I want to go back to DuChen!" Ling Yue furrowed her brows. Even after she was married, Ling Yue still wanted to work actively before she gets pregnant.

She was grateful despite his reluctance, Xi Jian did not forbid her to work. But working here and at DuChen are two different things. She wants her previous friendly environment rather than the circle which makes her have to be on guard all the time.

Only a few people knew she was married to Xi Jian. She wants to get out of here quickly before the news spreads like fire.

"He said he accepted it, right? When?"

"I don't know, I'll ask if he returns to the office. By the way, how does it feel to be a newlywed? Is it hot?" Chu Wei teased her.

Ling Yue almost blurted out her annoyance. She barely had time with Xi Jian after marriage. This week, they only communicate via chat or video calls. But it cannot replace the warmth of his touch or his hug. Unconsciously her mind was dragged back when they spent their first night together. Ling Yue coughed trying to sound normal when Chu Wei asking her 'what?'

Ling Yue quickly diverted the conversation and closed their call. Zou Ci was waiting for her downstairs when Ling Yue came out of the elevator.

"How was your day, Ma'am?"

"As usual."

Zou Ci faithfully drove her wherever she went. as he said he was a trusted bodyguard Xi Jian and Zou Ci never stayed away from her other than in the office or in the penthouse.

Ling Yue quite liked Zou Ci, besides being reliable, he was also a pleasant chatting companion. As expected, he could not find this person scary. Ling Yue casually headed for the front passenger door but Zou Ci opened the back door.

"Ma'am, for today, please act as Mrs. Xi properly. I want to take you somewhere."

Ling Yue looked at him. "Where?"

"You will know when you get there." he wants to sound as mysterious as possible. Ling Yue shook her head and let him drive her to his destination.

She recognized the place when she arrived there. But ... as she recalled, the house face was not shaped like this. A two-storey house with a minimalist modern look. The hall was neat, with a fountain lit in the middle of the yard.

"This..."

Zou Ci drove her to the front of the main door and stepped aside before the door opened. Ling Yue hesitantly pushed open this large white door with a golden handle on its body.

There, starting from her entrance, Ling Yue could see red roses arranged neatly and lined up sweetly on the right and left to form the aisle. In between those rows of roses, candles in glasses of various sizes poked in.

Ling Yue walked in with wide eyes. She looked around in amazement. The flower hallway was straight with a large circle at the end, just below the beautiful huge crystal chandelier. Inside the circle was a table and a three-story bare cake above, sprinkled with fresh fruit and flowers. A sweet perch beside it.

'Happy birthday my wife.'

Ling Yue looked up and looked to and fro but she did not see Xi Jian. Her bubble of joy bursts as a servant appears from nowhere carrying a tray of gifts.

"Welcome to your new home Madam. You can call me Ali."

"Where is Brother Jian?"

"I'm sorry to relay this to you, Madam. Sir Xi Jian suddenly got a phone call and left after preparing all this. He looks really disappointed because he could not directly hand over this gift to you."

Ling Yue accepted the gift half-heartedly. "Thank you."

"May I prepare food for you, Madam?"

"No need. I want to rest."

The servants escorted her to where their master bedroom was. Suddenly all this beauty and splendor felt worthless to Ling Yue. She couldn't appreciate all of these right now. Obviously this was a bad birthday suprise.
