CHAPTER FORTY-SIX (46) Trouble Or Complaint

"Why wouldn't they?" Changsu's spirit was lifted. "Do you think the nation's wife is dumb?"

Hearing that title Yuanqi had the sudden urge to inform him that she was here some moments ago. And he did. "She just left."

Shen, "..."

Baozhai. "..."

Changsu. "..." "O" "o"

Yuanqi allowed them to think.

"I can't believe it!" Changsu put a hand over his mouth and acted as if he wanted to cry. "Do you mean if we had been here like ten minutes ago, we would have met her?"

"Yes,"

"Woooah!" Changsu looked like he was going to have a panic attack. "No way!"

The mixer happened to stop at that moment, and everyone heard him. He quickly covered his face and turned his back to the workers.

Yuanqi pressed his lips together, stifling his laugh.

"Wow! I would really love to meet her." Shen said. "I guess the unluckiest person is Chang, after all, she is his favorite celebrity."

Changsu shot dagger eyes at Shen. "Don't decide my fate. I might still have the chance to. The Almighty works in mysterious ways, you know? And I have Baozhai to blame for this, changing her clothes every damn time because she thinks she's not sexy enough to grab attention."

Baozhai heard it but chose not to reply.

"Aye, aye." Shen didn't have the strength to argue. He looked towards Baozhai to see she had her whole attention on Yuanqi.

Staring intently at Yuanqi, Baozhai wanted to catch every moment. Was he comfortable around her? No, right? He hates women getting close to him. It should be the same with Rose. Just because she was her own boss and heiress doesn't make her special.

Baozhai also hates, the women that tried to get close to him. It was like they came to steal him from her. So she always measured his reaction before responding to them. She didn't want to end up looking like a white lotus.

Author: You're though...

She also wants to know what he thought of her, was she his type of woman? At least she always put her attitude in control, so he'd find her docile.

However, he just doesn't notice. Or was he just pretending and taking his time? But it was three years now. She fell for him right at the moment she first saw him. His beautiful teeth when he smiles, his eyes forming crescents, his nose scrunching up... Truth be told, what was not to admire about him? He is sexy, tall, intelligent and caring.

Has passion for his work. Treats everyone with respect.

Cool, yet unattainable. Yes, he was unattainable because while his face seemed gentle, the auras circulating around him is cold, distant and too hot.

He is the CEO of her heart, and she'd let him control her as he pleases. She was ready to be his barking dog.

Does Yuanqi think the same, too?

Curiosity killed the cat. She's so eager to know.

With a snap of Changsu's fingers, Baozhai came back to presence and reluctantly looked away.

"Tell me, what was she like?" Changsu asked. "She's nice, I could tell already. Did she smile? She rarely has a serious look on, which makes her more interesting. She seems to just not give a care, but believe this when I tell you, she's sweet..."

"Shut up, man." Shen was tired of hearing him praising the same person over and over again.

"We have work to do, though." Yuanqi voiced after much consideration.

"What work?" The two men chanted.

"We are to make lunch for the workers..."

"Woah, something to keep us busy. Great." Changsu said.

"More like fantastic." Shen supported.

"I'll go to the market," Changsu volunteered.

"I'll go with him," Shen said and they both glanced towards Baozhai.

She shrugged, which simply meant she didn't want to join them.

"Let's go together, then." Yuanqi statement caused Changsu to smile.

Now, you'd be here alone. He wanted to say that to Baozhai, but didn't want to draw Yuanqi's attention.

Their boss was oblivious to Baozhai feelings, and he would never give him a chance to find out.

"Baozhai, let's go." Yuanqi offered. "You can stay at the store."

She nodded and followed them.

*~~~*

Rose was whistling to a song from her airpod as she sauntered into her office.

"There's someone inside waiting for you." Dandan instantly informed.

"Who?" She took out one of the airpod.

"Mrs Peng."

"Aunt Biyu?" Rose asked again and Dandan affirmed by nodding her head.

"Let her in." Rose said then went into her office. As her buttocks touched the couch, she closed her eyes and had only one thought in mind.

Attractive.

Dapper.

Confident, yet appeared humble and unemotional.

Su Yuanqi.

Rose's interest piqued. This was the first time, a man apart from her father, and that one person was occupying her head. And she was ready to go for it.

"My child." The voice interrupted Rose's line of thought and she almost rubbed her temple in tiredness. She hasn't even done anything for the day.

"Good morning, Aunt Biyu."

Duan Biyu, tilted her head to the side, with an expression that asked, are you deaf? I just referred to you as my child.

"Come on, in." Rose out of respect, stood up to welcome the woman that was almost the same age with her mother.

{1} "Aegyo." Biyu coy voice came out. "Won't you at least hug me? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Rose nodded. "Truly." She wasn't ready to hug anyone though. Not with her visiting this early. It was either she came for trouble or came to complain.

"Tsk, tsk." Duan Biyu clicked her tongue, then took her seat when she discovered Rose wasn't willing to hug her. "How are you?"

Rose took her own seat and sighed. "Great."

"I can see that." Biyu assessed Rose properly and really wanted to question the Almighty. She also briefly glanced around the office and commented. "This cream and navy color is harsh, change it to something girly."

Rose ignored it and heard the woman ask.

"When last did you talk to Ying'er?"

Rose feigned ignorance, again. There was no way she was asking her that.

"I mean, you know how Ying'er can be sometimes, but it's because she gets worked up so easily and worries about you."
