CHAPTER 43

"Is she not feeling the heat." Song Yuechan asked looking at the way Cheng Xiao ate.

"That is nothing." Shen Mu replied taking a meat out of the pot.

"This is not spicy enough for her." She added.

"You mean she can eat hotter than this." Cui feng asked.

"Yes!" Shen Mu replied.

They finished their lunch and decided to head back to the office, they looked at Cheng Xiao and Shen Mu who had interlocked their hands, talking and laughing. The three colleagues that tagged along couldn't believe their eyes.

In the office Cheng Xiao always had a straight face, and they felt that she was unapproachable, but seeing how she and Shen Mu laughed they felt that she was actually an easy-going person.

"I actually never thought that miss Cheng was such an easy-going person." Song Yuechan said looking at them.

"Really, I never thought that as well. They're so close like sisters." Chang Wei replied.

"We are not sister, but soulmates." Shen Mu said turning around.

"Watch where you are going." Cheng Xiao scolded.

"Cheng Xiao not now." Shen Mu whined.

"Tell me, how is Hu Yiting treating you?" Cheng Xiao asked in a whisper.

"He is a perfect gentleman." Shen Mu replied blushing.

"You're lucky!" Cheng Xiao smiling.

"Even you!" Shen Mu said in terms of Xu Kai.

"Don't remind me!" Cheng Xiao said her face turning sour.

"What are you guys whispering about?" Song Yuechan asked.

"Nothing!" They both said jumping.

"Why are you guys so jumpy?" She asked again.

"It's nothing really." Shen Mu replied with an awkward smile.

Song Yuechan nodded, even though she wanted to join their circle it was still too early. Seeing how the two took care of each other made her envy their friendship. She smiled and comforted herself, if she wanted to be one of them, she would have to work hard.

They reached the office in ten minutes, they all walked in.

"Miss Cheng CEO Xu wants to see you." The front receptionist told her.

"Thank you!" Cheng Xiao replied and went to the elevator.

Cheng Xiao knocked his office and entered.

"Where did you go?" He asked as soon as she entered.

"I went to eat, why? Am I not allowed now?" She asked with sarcasm.

"Cheng Xiao didn't I say that you would have lunch with me?" He asked standing up.

"I have said that I will not do that." She replied strongly.

"Cheng Xiao!" He called her name taking small steps to her.

"What are you doing?" She asked taking steps backward, she felt her back touch the wall.

"You really enjoy disobeying me." He leaned down to her ear and whispered.

"Xu Kai, this is the office." She warned trying to push him away.

"I don't mind telling them." He said implying their marriage.

"You, you are out of your mind." She retorted.

"Tonight, we are eating out." He said lifting her chin and looked straight into her eyes.

"I'm busy." She refused.

"Refuse now, and I don't mind changing the transparency and them seeing us like this." He said coldly.
