Two-faced : Doting Husband & Shameless Wife

For this past few week, Ling Yue ended up having lunch or dinner with Xi Jian. Ling Yue felt that Xi Jian had not been annoying lately. She enjoyed their time together even though he sometimes still acted aloof and cocky. Like now, Ling Yue accompanied him to eat lunch in his room office, which invited the whispers of two Xi Jian secretaries.

They openly did not like to see Ling Yue always being around their boss. Ling Yue didn't pay heed to them. It was not her who wanted to be so close with him, but Xi Jian who always asked for her. He was her boss. How could she say no?

Ling Yue treated him like her boss, sometimes as her brother's friend and Xi Jian acted like that. They did not cross the line which would bring shame to both families.

Xi Jian hasn't felt comfortable eating with others for a long time. During this time, he was always suspicious of anyone who became his food partner. He never ate outside except with the people he trusted. Especially in this office. For the first time, he didn't need to worry about eating in here. He always asked Ling Yue to order his food and ask her to eat together. Obviously, his friend's sister would not have poison their food.

Xi Jian found them were closer than before. There was a time when he met one of his friend. One of the few people he considers as friends until now. He saw Xi Jian and Ling Yue together. He also knew Ling Yue since Ling Feng often invited Ling Yue to their college.

He whispered to Xi Jian, "You two look good together." but Xi Jian brushed it off. He stared at Ling Yue, with her glasses that almost covered half of her face and outdated clothes, take another meal and put it in her bowl.

Xi Jian himself did not understand his feelings for this woman. He feels happy if she is happy. He will worry if she feels pain. He also did not pursue this woman, but always looking for opportunities to be with her. He did not want to be considered as her brother, but sometimes acted like Ling Feng did.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there food on my face?" Ling Yue put down her chopsticks and touched her face.

Xi Jian shook his head. He did not want to think about this any further. After all, this woman is his bestfriend's sister. He did not want to betray Ling Feng's trust and destroyed relationship they have now. He doesn't want to ruin it with anything. Xi Jian only admitted that he regarded Ling Yue a bit special as a precious person.

"Eat slowly, no one will take your food away." Xi Jian put another dish in his mouth and slowly eat again.

"Oh I have to go after this. My previous partner need me."

"Go? Where?" Xi Jian raised his head.

Ling Yue squinted. "Do I have to say it?"

"Your boss asking you, of course you have to answer. After all, how can you leave if I don't allow it?"

Ling You frowned. "I've put in a permit for half a day today. I have business for a while in DuChen."

"With whom?" Xi Jian didn't realize he sounded possessive.

"Chu Wei." That girl called and asked her to return briefly. She need Ling Yue access for some of her files.

"How long?"

She looked at Xi Jian completely. "I don't know, an hour, a month or a year maybe?" She replied dismissively. From time to time Ling Yue naturally behaved impudently around Xi Jian and treated him like she treated her brother, forgetting that he was her boss.

Xi Jian watched Ling Yue who had finished her meal. "An hour then," he said.

Ling Yue almost dropped her bowl and her jaw. Seriously?
