Chapter 22  : Making Appointment

“Is that President Gu’s wife?” The woman in the sexy dress stretched. “I didn’t expect President Gu to be married.”

“Looks like she’s an obedient wife!” Another person teased. “Looks like President Gu has been trapped.”

“I wish Mrs. Qi would call every day so we don’t have to attend all these tedious meetings.”

…

When Gu Shen arrived home, it was already an hour later. The sky was dark and it was the first time he felt a sense of anticipation for going back home.

The moment he entered, he saw Yan Xi sleeping on the sofa with a small blanket covering her, revealing only her palm-sized face.

She heard his movements and opened her eyes groggily.

“You’re home.” She sat up. “Perfect. Let’s eat.”

“You haven’t eaten?”

Yan Xi said matter-of-factly, “I’m waiting for you.”

Gu Shen paused for a moment and explained, “There was a traffic jam on the road and I was delayed.”

“It’s okay. I have nothing to do at home.” Yan Xi walked to Gu Shen’s side and suddenly realized something. “Are you explaining to me?”

“Yeah.”

Yan Xi immediately smiled. Her eyes were curved like crescents, and when the light fell in, she looked extremely beautiful.

Gu Shen glanced at her and felt that Yan Xi was too easy to coax.

He thought about it and said, “Gu Er will send you my schedule later. If it’s too late, don’t wait for me.”

“What if I want to see you?”

“You can make an appointment with Gu Er for the time outside the schedule.”

When Yan Xi heard this, she was so angry that she almost laughed. “An appointment? Does everyone have to make an appointment to see you?”

“Yes, but I might not approve their appointments.”

“So you’ll approve mine?”

Gu Shen didn’t realize that he said what he was not supposed to say. “Not really. It depends on whether I am available at that moment.”

“Mr. Gu.” Yan Xi stood in front of Gu Shen and slightly bent down, her gaze level with Gu Shen’s. “I think you might have forgotten something. I’m your wife, the person closest to you, not people who have nothing to do with you.”

“If I want to see you, I should just send you a message and call you, not making an appointment through Gu Er.”

Gu Shen realized that something was wrong. “Then I’ll let Gu Er…”

Yan Xi cut him off. “Screw Gu Er. Can’t I just call you directly?”

“Sure.” Gu Shen said, “I’ll try my best to answer your calls.”

Yan Xi was speechless. What kind of man was her husband? He made love sound like a job. Yan Xi was a little pissed off by that.

Gu Shen turned on his phone and placed Yan Xi at the top.

Because of the wound on her upper jaw, Yan Xi ate very slowly and even frowned from time to time.

“Did you apply for the medicine today?”

Yan Xi shook her head. “That medicine is so bitter. I’d rather be in pain. Anyway, I’ll recover after some time.”

“Next time, ask the cook to make it blander and cut the vegetable smaller.”

“Okay.”

In the kitchen, Xiaolan was telling Xiaoyue what just happened.

“I was really scared just now. Who would have thought that Madam would wake up in the middle of the night to cook dumplings? She must have heard everything we said.”

Xiaoyue was also puzzled. “Then why didn’t she make things difficult for you or kick us out?”

“Maybe she wants to make us stay and slowly torture us,” Xiaolan wailed. “I won’t dare to speak nonsense again.. Who knew that Madam was so stupid? She doesn’t even know how to cook dumplings.”
